1823 Restrike. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Attractive glossy medium brown and chocolate. The fields are slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die lapping that left behind faint die polishing lines in the fields on both sides. A small spot of reddish chocolate toning in the field off the nose tip is the only mark. Very nice, close to choice. M-LDS with an additional die crack from the dentils left of star 1 to the chin and cheek where it meets up with the earlier bisecting crack. The obverse rim cud now reaches to over star 7, and the cud break is especially strong on this example thanks to being struck slightly off center to K-4. In fact, the cud was lightly smoothed along its outside edge in an attempt to make it appear more "normal." The earlier reverse die crack now clearly extends across that side to the rim at the R in AMERICA. Breen says pieces in this die state were struck beginning in 1879. Noyes photo #39278. Weight a hefty 176.0 grains. Our grade is MS62.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.

1823 Restrike. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Frosty slightly faded mint red mellowing to light bluish steel brown, at least a third of the red color remaining. Virtually as struck with only a few trivial defects, including a tiny speck of carbon at the rim above star 7. There is a tiny planchet depression on the rim at ED in UNITED, as struck, which later fills in to form a small rim cud. MDS with the earlier bisecting obverse crack and a fine die crack from the reverse rim to the D in UNITED that now extends into the wreath under the adjacent S in STATES and into the field above the N in ONE where it fades out. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CCW. An attractive example of this popular private restrike that was made outside the mint using discarded mint dies sold as scrap. The obverse die used was the normal Newcomb-2 variety of 1823, but apparently a reverse die of the type used in 1823 was not available and they substituted a reverse die used for the 1813 Sheldon-293 variety. The result was an "1823" cent that looked nothing like the genuine mint product. Our grade is MS63. Weight 163.0 grains. The Holmes provenance is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $1,400-UP.
