1837 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous light bluish steel brown with slightly lighter brown toning on the lower right half of the obverse. Traces of slightly faded mint red show on the obverse while about 10% of the mint color remains visible on the reverse. The only marks are some very tiny vertical nicks in the field above star 11 and a diagonal one just right of star 1. LDS. The repunching on the left side of the lower half of the 8 is gone. There are some tiny, thin rim cud breaks under the date, the legend outside the wreath is in shallow relief, and the accessory E punched into the wreath below the E in AMERICA is clear but not sharp. A beautiful example of the "Accessory E" variety. Called MS63 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #33778. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#6 in his census. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Rasmussen provenance). Our grade is MS60+. Pop 1. The only Brown example graded at PCGS. A total of 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2630 (PCGS # 37141) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
