1837 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous frosty light bluish steel brown with 10% of the original mint red remaining. The surfaces are satiny and very attractive. A dull nick up from the right point of star 13, a lighter one near the dentils under the 3 in the date, and a small carbon spot well above the N in ONE are the notable defects. Nicely struck E-MDS with a rim cud break at star 5. The die crack from the stem tip to the dentils has not formed. Called MS60 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #33307. Bland also has this piece as MS60 and tied for CC#3. An important cent. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN. The attribution and Ron Adam provenance are shown on the NGC label, which is included. Our grade is MS60+. Pop 1; 2 in 65. Only 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2518 (PCGS # 37177) .
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
