Lot 527
1838 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous steel brown and chocolate. Satiny and very attractive. The only marks are a tiny tick on the rim just above star 10 and a very tiny rim bruise over the second T in STATES. MDS showing a clear die crack from the dentils to the M in AMERICA and on to the base of the adjacent A but not beyond. The section between the forks of the crack to the right side of the M is sunken. In addition, there are phantom dentils running up onto the rim at star 5 (similar to those seen on early examples of 38N6 and 38N9). Very curious. Our grade is MS60. Pop 1; 1 in 65BN; 1 in 66BN. DWH #3327 (PCGS # 37207) .
Estimated Value $400-UP.
