Sale 25


Lot 63

1833 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-65. Brown. N-5. The famous Horned 8 variety. Hines-Starr specimen (without original envelopes, however). A simply luscious copper having essentially flawless surfaces evidencing mostly chocolate-brown luster but some mint red remains (perhaps 20%), subdued, despite the "BN" designation by PCGS. The classic diebreak begins at the lower right of the date and transects the first ten stars, left to right. On the reverse, the other well-known diebreak begins at the "E" of AMERICA and loops beneath the ribbon to continue through the lower portion of UNITED STATES and ends driftng upward through OF. The stars become progressively better impressed, starting out flat on star 1 and strengthening until the final five stars are deeply divided into their centers. All in all, exquisite and having an important pedigree.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,500.
