1820 Coronet Head 1C PCGS MS62 BR
1820 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. An attractive mint state cent that we suspect was lightly cleaned and is now retoned glossy chocolate and bluish steel brown with underlying very faded red on the reverse. The surfaces are smooth and the fields are slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die lapping. MDS with the inner circle dull but visible at stars 2-6 and the repunching at the base of the T in CENT sharp. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CCW. Called AU55 and tied for CC#4 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 net AU50 and tied for CC#2, his photo #20684. Either way this is an important cent. Our grade is AU55. Pop 1; 1 in 64 BN. PCGS has only graded 3 examples for the variety. DWH #2458 (PCGS # 36667) .
Estimated Value $750-UP.
