1838 Coronet Head Cent. NGC graded Newcomb-11. Proof 65 Brown. A lovely specimen of this rarity in Proof, don't let the photographs lead you astray. Our photographer's industiral-strength precision lens captures everything, including the fine hairline scratches on the grading holder, which is what those little lines in the photographs are. This coin is outstanding! A simple pleasure to examine and hold, a coin sharply made with only a few round-topped stars, and sure to please everyone with its steel brown and golden red iridescence. A very rare issue in Proof, with approximately 30 or so examples know to survive from these dies. A lovely coin for the advanced large cent collector! Pop 2; 1 in PF-66BN; 1 in 66-RB.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
