 FINEST 1828 N-1 EX PITTMAN

LOT 155 1828 N-1 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved . Choice lustrous steel brown and light olive with traces of mint red on the reverse. Smooth and very sharp with great eye appeal. The only marks are a faint diagonal scratch through the bust and a short, very light scratch over the first 8. A tiny planchet flake right of the A in STATES is a good identifying mark, and it takes a glass to see all three of these defects. MDS, die state b early. The arc line over MER is gone and the fields are lightly flowlined. A superior cent. Graded MS63 and finest of only three mint state examples in the Noyes census, his photo #35696. Our grade is MS63+. Comes with a very nice provenance. 36874.64/30821488 Ex John J.
