Lot 465
1837 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Very attractive lustrous light bluish steel brown with generous traces of mint red remaining in protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and virtually flawless. The best identifying marks are a small spot of darker chocolate brown toning in the field midway between the bust tip and the chin and a streak of medium brown toning left of star 13. Sharply struck EDS. The dentils are sharp around both sides and fine die clashmarks show inside the wreath. The reverse is cracked, as always, around the legend with the exception of STATE. Excellent eye appeal, very close to MS63. At the lower end of the condition census. Our grade is MS62. Pop 1; 1 in 64RB; 1 in 65 RB. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2517 (PCGS # 37153) .
Estimated Value $1,250-UP.
