1816 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Choice lustrous medium brown and chocolate with frosty light brown toning in protected areas and tiny splashes of slightly darker steel brown toning sprinkled about the reverse. Just a hint of rub on the highest points of the design. Excellent eye appeal with only a few trivial marks, including a dull nick high on the neck and a couple light marks near the dentils between stars 11 & 12. EDS. The fields are smooth and satiny, the fine die lines over AME are visible, the repunching on the lower half of the D in UNITED is strong, and the dash between the C & A in AMERICA is bold. Plated in the Wright book to illustrate the variety. Called MS60 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #28104. Our grade is AU58. Pop 1; 2 in 64; 1 in 66. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3113 (PCGS # 36532) .
