Description
Gem 1828 Curl Base, Knob 2 Half
O-106, Possible Finest Known
1828 50C Curl Base 2, Knob MS65 PCGS. CAC. O-106,
R.4. The Curled Base, Knob 2 in the date narrows down the
choices to two similar obverse dies sharing the same reverse, O-106
and O-107. The O-106, as here, is far more elusive ("very scarce"
overall), showing a point of star 13 aiming at a gap between two
dentils, and star 8 to the upper edge of a dentil. Rich mint luster
encompasses both sides of this appealing Gem, copper, crimson, and
pinkish tones blending to beautiful effect. This piece appears
finer by two points than the highest-graded in our Stephen Herrman
from spring 2012. This same piece is depicted on PCGS CoinFacts,
providing further confirmation. For the Curl Base, Knob 2,
Population: 1 in 65, 0 finer (2/13).Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 6149, Greysheet# 6188)
Weight: 13.48 grams
