Sale 25


Lot 65

1838 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-65. Red & Brown. N6. Here is a truly beautiful coin which the grading services cannot agree on, based on the accompanying NGC insert, calling it MS66 BN. Brown? At least 50% of the original, reddish mint bloom (not a faded tan) remains. How anybody could call this coin "brown" is beyond reason. Aside from the blatant mint red, this wonderful coin sports almost flawless surfaces (which NGC did acknowledge with their 66 number grade). Liberty's cheek even shows the die-polish lines from the U.S. Mint. Stars mostly flat in their centers, but the strike is still impressive, with Miss Liberty in bold relief. A precious copper! Among the finest of its kind, certainly in terms of eye-appeal alone.
Estimated Value $1,750 - 2,500.

 
Realized $3,220
