Lot 6
1816 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with frosty lighter brown in protected areas. No spots or notable signs of contact. Great eye appeal for the grade. LDS with an additional rim cud break between stars 11 & 12, and the original rim cud at stars 8-11 extends to star 7.5. The die cracks at ST and OF are stronger, and the one at OF extends to the dentils over the adjacent A. The fields are flowlined and clear die clashmarks show inside the wreath. The browlock is rather well struck, but stars 10-13 are weak. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees CW. Most likely another attractive refugee from the Randall Hoard of mint state cents, but this die state is not typical of those from the hoard. Our grade is MS60. Pop 2; 1 in 64; A total of 3 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #0368 (PCGS # 36526) .
Estimated Value $500-UP.
