Lot 458
1836 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous light steel brown. Nice eye appeal with just a couple trivial contact marks, including a dull rim nick at the first A in AMERICA. Sharply struck LDS (but not the terminal state). The cud break over star 8 is bold, a smaller rim cud break shows at star 4, and all 5 of the radial die cracks on the reverse are strong, including the final one through the F to the dentils above. The fine die crack that connects the M to the dentils at either side has not formed. Our grade is AU58. Pop 1; 1 in 66RB. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3322 (PCGS # 37126) .
Estimated Value $500-UP.
