Lot 459
1836 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded AU-58. Lustrous golden light brown. The only defects are a tiny hairline scratch over star 6 and a thin nick in the field under the hairbun. Great eye appeal, just a bit of wear on the highpoints. The reverse is choice and looks mint state. MDS with a fine die crack from the dentils over the T in UNITED through the top of that D to the top of ST in STATES. The rim cud break at D-STA seen in the later state has not formed. A nice example of a die variety that’s unknown in mint state according to the Noyes census. Our grade is AU50. Pop 1; the only example graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3465 (PCGS # 37129) .
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
