- Beautiful Gem-quality surfaces are silky smooth with full softly frosted luster. Beautifully toned, as well, both sides reveal iridescent undertones of cobalt blue and golden-rose to dominant steel-olive patina. Sharp striking adds to the appeal of this Gem coin. JR-5 is one of just six known varieties for the year, all of which are relatively available in grades below Choice or Gem Mint State. The Condition Census for this die pair is topped by the magnificent MS-68 (PCGS) Pogue specimen, which also ranks as the finest of any from this type, 1828 through 1837. The present example sits firmly at second place on this census, tied with at least five examples at the MS-65 grade level. It is an attractive and choice coin that will appeal to both specialists and type collectors.
