1838 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown with traces of faded mint red remaining in protected areas, mostly on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and very attractive. Would rate a slightly higher grade except for a very faint hairline in the field from close before the tip of the nose down to just right of star 2. A tiny planchet lamination at the dentils just right of the second S in STATES is a good identifying mark. E-MDS. Most of the vertical die lines over the E in CENT are gone but a couple remain visible over the left edge of that E. The fields are covered with microscopic die flowlines that create attractive cartwheel luster The colon center dot on the reverse is clear. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS66BN (NGC label included). Our grade is MS63. Pop 2; 1 in 65. Only 4 graded in Brown at PCGS for the variety. One example in MS64RB. DWH #2529 (PCGS # 37186) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex American Numismatic Rarities 11/30/2004:162 (via Chris McCawley).
