1829 C-1 R8 (as a Specimen Strike) PCGS Graded SP63 Brown. Beautiful blue steel with traces of iridescent rose in protected areas. The fields are nicely reflective with moderate to deep mirrors on both sides. The only defects are a tiny planchet chip on the jawline left of the earlobe and a dull, light scratch close under star 4. Weight 85.2 grains. This is the second of four confirmed Proof strikes listed in the Breen/Hanson condition census for the variety (Breen encyclopedia, page 335). PCGS recognized the special nature of this piece, but decided to call it a "Specimen" strike rather than a proof. Either way this is an extraordinary piece that offers outstanding eye appeal. Our grade is Proof/Specimen-62. And it comes with a great provenance. The attribution, SPECIMEN status, and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label.

1828 C-3 R1. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. CAC. Brilliant original mint red fading to dark steel brown on the highpoints, 80% of the red remaining. There are a few tiny ticks just right of star 6 and a few more microscopic contact marks in the field at the top of the obverse, none notable or at all distracting but enough to keep this piece from gem status. MDS, Manley state 3.0, with a die clashmark at the throat. The reverse is rotated 10 degrees CW and the fields are slightly prooflike on both sides. Sharp strike doubling shows on much of the reverse, a result of die bounce. Our grade is MS64. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are show on the PCGS label.

1828 C-3 R1. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. CAC. Mint red toning to light steel brown on the highest points, 90% of the mint color remaining. The only marks are a tiny steel spot at the dentils under the 82, specks of similar toning at ES, and another at the right base of the A in HALF. These "defects" are insignificant but can help identify this piece. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. Die polishing has removed the clashmarks from the obverse but the repunching is still clear on star 7. The obverse fields are prooflike with moderately deep mirrors and the reverse fields are slightly prooflike, although those mirrors are not as deep. Outstanding eye appeal, once thought to be a proof strike. The obverse is shown in the color plates at the back of the Breen book and both sides are plated to illustrate the variety on page 84 in the second edition of the Cohen reference. Our grade is MS65. Certainly one of the finest known. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest in RD for the variety.
