Lot 471
1837 N-9 R1 Beaded Hair Cord PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty light bluish steel brown and olive with generous traces of original mint red remaining on both sides. A splash of darker olive brown toning at the bust tip and a smaller one on the browlock hurt the otherwise excellent eye appeal of this cent. E-MDS. An obvious die crack reaches from the bust tip through the portrait to the hair under star 8 and finer cracks extend from the dentils arcing through star 12 and another from the dentils down through star 9 and the hair to the 37 and dentils below. Nicely struck except for weakness on the E in CENT. Our grade is MS60.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
