Lot 488
1837 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Frosty light steel brown with splashes of darker steel and chocolate brown toning on the obverse. No marks or other defects. The surfaces are satiny and free of any wear or friction, but the uneven obverse toning is a slight distraction to the otherwise excellent eye appeal. MDS+. Slightly later than the preceding example. The flowlines and reverse die cracks are stronger, but the line left of the upright of the 1 remains complete and the dash right of the base of that 1 is weak but visible. The die clashmarks are still visible on both sides. Called MS60 net AU50 in the Noyes census, his photo #32112. Our grade is AU58. Pop 1; 1 in 65 BN; 1 in 66 RB. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3323 (PCGS # 37138) .
Estimated Value $300-UP.
