Lot 492
1814 Classic Head Cent. Plain 4. NGC graded AU-50 BN. Attractive dark steel brown with lighter reddish brown around the major devices and stars. A few old marks but generally quite choice for this issue. The large cents of 1808-14 were struck on unusually soft (pure) copper planchets, which tended to wear quickly in circulation; hence it is that few choice AU-50 examples like this are in collectors' hands. Pop 4; 14 finer in brown at NGC.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700.
