Description
1822 N-2 Cent, MS64 Brown
From the Naftzger Collection
1822 1C MS64 Brown PCGS. N-2, Low R.3. Ex: Naftzger
Collection. An obverse die crack connects stars 7 to 9 and another
joins stars 9 through 12. The reverse has a short crack from the
ribbon to the border at 6 o'clock. This stunning Choice Mint State
specimen has reflective fields with full satin luster and deep
greenish steel-brown surfaces showing splashes of tan. Each star is
been carefully strengthened as Bob Grellman pointed out in the
Naftzger catalog. He writes: "Someone very carefully strengthened
one radial line in most of the stars" and continued to state that
the "improvement is easily missed ... the grades assigned by Noyes,
Bland, and PCGS attest to this." Noyes and Bland call this piece
MS60 and tied for fourth finest known. Grellman called it AU55
although it is extremely difficult to call this lovely piece less
than MS60. Our EAC grade AU55.Ex: B.G. Johnson Estate; Hans M.F. Schulman (4/1951), lot 1125; Dr. Kenneth J. Sartoris; Del Bland; C. Douglas Smith (4/1976); R.E. Naftzger, Jr. (Goldberg Coins, 2/2009), lot 121.(Registry values: N1793)
