Lot 292
1829 N-8 R1. Noyes Plate Coin. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown with darker steel toning on the cheek and 5% of the slightly faded mint color remaining. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is outstanding. No spots or stains. Would qualify for a slightly higher grade if not for a couple light contact marks on the neck. The reverse is absolutely flawless. LDS showing clear rim cud breaks at stars 7-8, 9-10, and CA in AMERICA. Called MS65 "Choice" and tied for CC#1 with one other piece in the Noyes census, his photo #21835. Bland says MS63 and tied for finest among the confirmed examples in his census. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS65BN (NGC label included). Plated in the Noyes book to illustrate the variety. Our grade is MS63. Pop 1; 1 in 65, 1 in 66. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety.
