Lot 519
1838 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Nice lustrous bluish steel brown with 10% of the red remaining on the obverse. The only marks are a light horizontal nick on the bust, a dull diagonal nick right of star 7, a thin vertical nick on the cheek, and a nick-like planchet chip on the rim at TA in STATES, as struck. None of these marks is at all distracting and the eye appeal is excellent. E-MDS. The fields are smooth and a spike extends up to the left from the junction of the curl and front edge of the coronet. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN. The attribution and Ron Adam provenance are shown on the NGC label, which is included. Our grade is MS60 Plus. Pop 1; 1 in 65 BN. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2519 (PCGS # 37192) .
Estimated Value $600-UP.
