Description
1828 N-6 Cent, MS64 Brown
Large Narrow Date
The Herman Halpern Coin
1828 1C Large Narrow Date, N-6, R.1, MS64 Brown NGC. Our EAC
Grade MS62. Satin luster appears under chestnut and olive-brown
surfaces displaying reflective fields, especially on the obverse.
The strike is crisp and well-centered, showing full obverse and
reverse borders.Variety: The obverse die is shared between 1828 N-6 and N-7, while the reverse die is unique to N-6. Remnants of a misplaced 8 are evident between the base of the 8 and 2. A die crack joins 28 to the last two stars on the right with die rust in the obverse field.
Population Data (3/15): NGC reports 12 examples of the date in MS64 Brown and only four finer for all die varieties combined.
Heritage Commentary: The March 1988 Stack's sale of the Herman Halpern Collection is well-known in large cent circles. However, a decade later, Bowers and Merena sold additional large cents from Halpern's collection, including the present coin. Bill Noyes grades this piece MS60 and tied for 10th finest known in his census. We believe a slightly higher grade is warranted and place this coin among the top eight for the variety.
Provenance: Herman Halpern Collection (Bowers and Merena, 3/1997), lot 86.
