1808 1C MS62 Brown PCGS
<B>1808 1C MS62 Brown PCGS.</B></I> S-278, B-2, R.3. Classic Head large cents are notoriously scarce in better circulated grades, and are rare in Mint State. The seven-year series has no equivalent to the Randall Hoard, which provided hundreds of high grade Matron Head large cent of the 1816 to 1820 period. There is also no equivalent to the Nichols Find, which allow type collectors to affordably acquire nice Mint State Draped Bust cents. In addition, planchet quality suffered during the Classic Head era. <BR> But the present lot is an important exception. This Classic Head cent has lovely chocolate-brown toning throughout the obverse, and across much of the reverse. Portions of the reverse are medium brown. Satin luster is comprehensive, and the strike is good. Only a solitary mark merits mention, beneath the O in ONE. Population: 3 in 62 Brown, 20 finer (11/07). EAC 55.<BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> John Reich<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
