1837 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown with 20% of the mint red remaining. The field at stars 4-6 has a slightly darker overtone of bluish steel than the rest of the obverse, and there is a small spot of slightly darker toning at the dentils under star 12. Would rate a slightly higher grade except for some tiny nicks on the cheek and a few others on and to the left of star 12. The surfaces are satiny and covered with fine die flowlines. LDS. The repunching over the left foot of the N in UNITED is gone and only a trace of repunching remains over the left top of that letter. The obverse die is essentially worn out leaving the date and stars in shallow relief and the curl over the date weak. Called MS60 in the Noyes census, his photo #27487. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS65BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Rasmussen provenance). Our grade is MS62. Pop 1; 1 in 66. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2631 (PCGS # 37165) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Texas Numismatic Association Sale, Hanks & Associates 4/20/85:13-Wes Rasmussen, Heritage 1/13/05:3687 (the attribution and Rasmussen provenance are noted on the NGC label).
