Lot 58
1816 Coronet Head Cent. MS-64. Brown. N-5. Purchased in an NGC MS-64 BN slab by the consignor, who removed it from the holder in order to place it in his type set. Slab insert comes with lot. This is a scarce variety, and the consignor, an astute collector of coppers, considered it to place within the top 10 pieces in the Condition Census for this variety. It is certainly a beauty! Medium to dark chocolate brown in color, with a delightful texture to the metal and a hint of blue iridescence. It has the look of a Gem and should be worth a strong bid from knowing specialists.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,250.
