1829 N-6 R7- (as a bronzed proof) Bronzed. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. Glossy reddish chocolate brown and olive. The only notable mark is a small swipe of carbon in the field over the upper left point of star 1 and two microscopic planchet chips (as struck) in the field off the tip of the nose. Very sharply struck on a bronzed planchet. Most of the proof strikes of this variety were struck on normal although specially selected and prepared planchets. The small number of bronzed proof strikes were made on planchets that received a thin layer of bronze prior to striking. The fields on the bronzed proof strikes are not as reflective as those found on the normal proof strikes, and this experiment was short-lived (although a 1834 Newcomb-7 proof-only cent is known on a bronzed planchet and bronzed planchets continued to be used for many of the medals struck but the US Mint). Our grade is Proof-62+, close to Proof-63. The "Bronzed" feature is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1 with none finer.
Estimated Value $35,000 - 4,000.
