1820 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Choice lustrous light bluish steel brown and chocolate with underlying faded mint red showing through in the protected areas. There is a small stain of darker bluish olive toning in the hairbuns and another between the 2 & 0 in the date. Would rate a higher grade if not for a dull, light scrape in the field between stars 5 & 6, and this scrape left a shiny area in the midst of lustrous flowlines. Excellent eye appeal in spite of this minor defect. M-LDS with a clear die crack joining the bust to star 1. Called MS60 net AU55 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #32880. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64BN (NGC label included). Our grade is MS60 Plus. Pop 1; None finer at PCGS for the variety. PCGS has graded only 2 examples, this one and an AU55. DWH #2590 (PCGS # 36697) .
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
Ex Stack's 12/93:1159-Wes Rasmussen, Heritage 1/13/05:3446 (the attribution and Rasmussen provenance are noted on the NGC label).


 
Realized $5,520
