Lot 73
1818 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown with 15% of the mint color remaining. There are some light nicks on the top of the first 8 in the date, a few more off the bust tip, and a spot of darker toning in the field under the chin. LDS. The dentils are fading but remain nearly complete, and a narrow rim cud shows from star 3 up to well past star 4. Die chatter doubling shows on the right edge of the portrait, including the ear and LIBERTY. An attractive example of a variety that’s difficult to find in mint state. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included). Our grade is MS60+. Pop 2; 1 in 66. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3417 (PCGS # 36601) .
