Lot Title: 1828 13 Stars (C-3, R.1). MS-64 BN/questionable color.
Description: 1828 C-3 garners only a common (R.1) rarity rating because it is a well-known hoard coin, and many uncirculated pieces exist. Breen discusses dispersal of as many as 1000 specimens at the end of the nineteenth century. The present example could certainly be from that hoard, as it appears to be uncirculated and shows some mint red. Unfortunately, a previous attempt to increase the amount of red has caused an odd bluish color to take hold in the fields. Proper conservation might well improve the MS-60/questionable color assessment.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
