1839 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Glossy bluish steel and light olive brown with slightly faded mint red covering the protected areas on both sides. The surfaces are covered with attractive mint luster under the gloss and the eye appeal is excellent. There is some minor roughness along the dentil tips at stars 2-6, as struck. There is a very light and barely visible diagonal hairline scratch in the field right of star 2 and a short struck-through line over the E in CENT, as struck. These marks can help identify this cent but they are not the least bit distracting. M-LDS with all the fine obverse die cracks described by Wright visible, the strongest of these at stars 4-6. In addition there are clear die clashmarks inside the wreath. The left top of the E in STATES is weak but remains visible (this is lapped off the die in the late state). Called MS63 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #25837. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS65BN (NGC label included). Our grade is MS62. Pop 3. None finer in Brown at PCGS for the variety. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2637 (PCGS # 37243) .
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Desert Coast Coins 6/3/85-Wes Rasmussen, Heritage 1/13/05:3722 (the attribution and Rasmussen provenance are noted on the NGC label).
