Lot 518
1838 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded AU-55. Slightly sharper but the highpoints have been lightly touched with a sulfur-based substance causing them to be darker, perhaps to hide a very light cleaning. The only marks are a small splash of darker toning and an adjacent thin nick right of star 4. Glossy dark chocolate brown with darker steel highpoints. LDS with the cud under the 83 reaching up to the base of the 8 and nearly to the base of the 3. Our grade is AU50. Pop 1; 8 finer. Only 9 graded Brown at PCGS for the variety. DWH #1675 (PCGS # 37189) .
Estimated Value $200-UP.
