1828 Classic Head Half Cent. C-3. Rarity-1. 13 Stars. MS-64 RB (NGC).
The surfaces are Choice with a satiny texture and sharp striking detail to the design elements. Pleasingly lustrous, the mint brilliance highlights the delicate iridescent lilac-brown that is toned over ample original red color. Most partially to fully red 1828 half cents trace their history to a hoard dispersed by Washington, D.C. collector and dealer Benjamin Collins, who was very active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and are of the C-3 die marriage as here.
PCGS# 35262. BASE PCGS# 1148. NGC ID: 222V.
