Sale 25


Lot 64

1837 Coronet Head Cent. MS-65. Brown. N-13. The Noyes plate coin (#20592), which traces itself to the Naftzger collection and the 1990 EAC sale (lot 232). The consignor removed this beautiful copper from an NGC MS65 BN slab, feeling it possessed too much red remnant to be called merely "brown." Justifiably so, in the eyes of this cataloguer, for the coin shows strong evidence of an admittedly subdued tannish gold luster. The surfaces are truly Superb, nary a tick anywhere, and glossy. The metal's texture is smooth, satiny. Included with the lot are the NGC label and Naftzger's trademark kraft envelope on which he noted, in green ink, "MS-65, sea green and bronze, full lustre, R4, ex Joe Flynn 1964; Bert Cohen. EAC '83 as N-1." All in all, a wonderful and famous specimen!
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.

 
Realized $2,530
