Lot Title: 1828 12 Stars (C-2, R.2). PCGS AU-58.
Description: C-2 is the only die marriage for the popular "12 stars" obverse, and this is the common die-state II. Certainly the coin is not as nice as a competing UNC example in the sale, and better struck on the right side than the left. Crumbs of greenish verdigris are worked into the reverse devices, but is too dry to appear active, and may not be cause for alarm. A fair portion of the original luster can still be seen in spite of modestly stained surfaces, but one can imagine that a good, proper EAC brushing would really help the eye-appeal and better preserve the surfaces for future collectors.
Low Estimate: $475.00

The whimsically blundered "12 stars" obverse occurs with only one die marriage: C-2. "TES OF AM" are boldly repunched, and Breen calls this the "perfect die" obverse and "very rare". Blue-velvet...

1828 12 Stars C-2, R-1. MS-60 BN.
Glossy mahogany surfaces amplify the visual appeal of this die cutter's error variety. A meager number of ticks noticed with a glass, but no unsightly marks or blemishes. Well struck for an issue...
