Lot 392
1834 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. Very attractive bluish steel brown with 20% of the original mint color remaining on each side. The surfaces are satiny and highly lustrous. Nearly flawless, a few tiny ticks on the coronet over LIBE and some others under star 9, plus a very light rim bruise under star 11 are the best identifying marks, and it takes a good glass to see them. Nicely struck E-MDS with a fine die crack at F-AM to the dentils over the adjacent E but only a hint of fine die rust around NITED STATE. Fine doubling from die bounce shows on LIBERT and stars 2-10. Our grade is MS63. Pop 2; none finer in Red Brown at PCGS. DWH #2515 (PCGS # 37040) .
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
