Lot 417
1835 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous light steel brown with bluish steel overtones and at least 20% of the mint red remaining, mostly on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and offer great eye appeal. Would rate a slightly higher grade except for an extremely faint hairline in the field above the head and a very light abrasion covering the field around NT in CENT. MDS. The die crack through the right side of the 1 now extends up the portrait to the Y in LIBERTY, but it does not reach star 8. The reverse is not rotated. Called MS60 net AU55 in the Noyes census, his photo #38066. Our grade is MS60+. Pop 1; none finer in Brown; 1 in 64RB, 1 in 65RB. DWH #2620 (PCGS # 37060) .
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
