1819 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Frosty slightly faded mint red mellowing to steel brown, about half the faded red remaining. Covered with satiny mint luster and close to gem except for a short, fine hairline scratch in the field off the nose tip plus a few tiny ticks on the cheek and in the field off the chin. A good identifying mark is a small spot of darker bluish steel toning between the 8 and second 1 in the date. E-MDS. The dentils are complete around both sides and the bottom of the C in CENT is clear. An outstanding example of this very scarce variety. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 with one other piece in the Bland census. Noyes says MS61 and CC#3, his photo #25191. The obverse is plated in the Newcomb book to illustrate the variety and the reverse is also plated to show reverse H. Comes with the Newcomb collection pillbox. Our grade is MS63, Pop 2; Tied for finest graded in Red Brown at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2584 (PCGS # 36656) .
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
