Lot 399
1835 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. Choice frosty medium brown with generous traces of slightly faded mint red in protected areas. Covered with attractive satiny mint luster. No spots or stains. Close to choice is not for a very thin vertical nick-like fissure down the cheek. This mark appears to be a pre-striking planchet flaw that didn't completely strike out. Sharply struck E-MDS. The obverse fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines, but the branch crack to the dentils from the always-present die crack that joins stars 11 & 12 has not formed. Our grade is MS60. Pop 1; 1 in 65RB. Only 2 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2470 (PCGS # 37105) .
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
