1823 Private Restrike PCGS graded MS64RB.
1823 Private Restrike PCGS graded MS64RB. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Tan and light brown with prooflike fields on both sides and 15-20% of the original red remaining. The only marks are a smattering of microscopic specks of darker toning on the obverse. Rare E-MDS with a single die crack on the obverse. Normally this initial crack passes all the way across the obverse starting at the cud break under star 5 and ending at the dentils at star 12. However, the crack fades out just as it reaches star 12 and proceeds no farther. The cud break over star 7 is incomplete, similar to what is found on the uncracked versions of these restrikes. According to Breen, these early cracked versions were struck by Mickley between 1863 and 1879, but this piece must have been near the front of that line. Noyes photo #21598. Our grade is MS64.
