Lot 133
1820 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. A sharp, attractive cent except for a thin nick or hairline scratch in the field under star 6, and this mark catches the eye. Otherwise this cent is choice. Glossy steel brown and chocolate with lots of frosty light steel brown remaining on both sides, including faint hints of very faded underlying mint color on the reverse. A small spot of reddish chocolate toning between the lower edge of the bust and the lowest curl can help identify this cent. MDS. The tiny center dot on the reverse is still visible. Great luster and eye appeal, especially for a variety that almost never comes in high grade. Just try to find a better one. Called AU55 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes and Bland census lists of confirmed examples. Noyes photo #25243. Our grade is AU50 Plus. Pop 1; 1 in 63 BR. Only 2 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2589 (PCGS # 36694) .
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
