NewPS: 1828 Half Cent 12 Stars......Grade opinions welcome (updated - better image)

I bought this coin at the Westford MA coin show. It was hidden in the upper part of a dealers case who is not known for early copper. The coin has an exceptional strike and a little color to it. The toning is a bit bluish in color. I think it is a great find. I welcome your comments.!

Sorry, I getting the dreaded double XX.

OOPS! Now it's up

It looks like an AU-58 to me with perhaps some original red. There is a rub for sure, but it looks like a nice coin.

I believe it's a Cohen 2, the 12 star, which is a somewhat scarce variety. Time was these were pretty scarce in high grade, but a hoard came out 15 or 20 years ago. It's still a tougher than average coin.

I like it. I'm finding I like coins with fewer devices. For example I like the 12 star better than the 13 star. I like the coin as an AU. I'd like to see it in hand so I could get a better feel for the surfaces...

Unfortunately my camera is exaggerating the wear. In hand the coin appears MS60/61. When I blow up the coin image it makes it look like there is more wear than there actualy is. I will try for better photos.
