Description
1826 N-5 Large Cent, MS63 Brown
From the Naftzger Collection
1826 1C Normal Date MS63 Brown PCGS. N-5, R.2. MRB MS60.
This early die state piece has wide borders with no rim breaks or
die sinking. Later die states have a dentil break at the upper. The
position of the highest leaf, nearly under the O in OF, is
diagnostic for 1826 N-5.Both sides exhibit full borders and a sharp strike with satiny luster. Trivial marks are evident along with a trace of rub, but the surfaces still display noticeable mint red. Technically, this example should be graded AU55, but there is too much red mint color to justify such a low grade. Noyes grades this piece MS60.
Known to his friends as "Ted," Roy Edgar Naftzger, Jr., was born in California on August 23, 1925, and died on October 29, 2007. He was a charter member of Early American Coppers, holding member number 60. A true numismatist, Naftzger formed one of the most impressive collections of large cents ever. A collector since the 1940s, Naftzger often purchased entire collections to obtain the few coins he needed, usually selling the remainder at auction under the original collector's name. Outside of numismatics, Ted Naftzger was a world-class swordfisherman and a member of the International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame.
