Description
The Naftzger 1802 S-232 Cent, MS64 Brown
Tied for Second Finest Known
1802 1C MS64 Brown PCGS. S-232, B-12, R.1. The reverse has a
heavy rim break over ATE. Del Bland grades this piece MS60 and
calls it second finest, tied with three other pieces in his Census.
The reverse of this piece is plated in Bill Noyes' 1991 photo book,
where he graded the coin MS60 and called it second finest, much as
Del Bland did. However, by 2005, after the Naftzger coins had been
sold to other collectors, Noyes inexplicably dropped his grade to
AU50, and placed its Census rank in a tie for eighth finest. Today,
we fully agree with the earlier assessment by Noyes, and the
opinion of Bland, and grade this piece EAC 60.Ex: Charles M. Williams (Numismatic Gallery, 11/1950), lot 194; R.E. Naftzger, Jr.; Eric Streiner.(Registry values: N4719)
