Exceptional 1828 Classic Head Half Cent, 12 Stars variety, graded PCGS AU 58. This stunning coin presents with a rich, dark chocolate brown patina, even and attractive, with subtle hints of sumatra brown undertones. Despite being nearly 200 years old, the coin remains remarkably well-preserved, with only slight friction from circulation. The 'AU 58' grade is well-earned, as the coin shows minimal technical issues, with no distracting spots or flaws. The 12 Stars variety is particularly tough in this grade, making this a highly desirable piece for collectors. Overall, an outstanding example of this early American coinage, with eye-appeal and pedigree to spare.
