1835 Coronet Head 1C PCGS MS64 BR
1835 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Choice lustrous bluish steel brown with a faint streak of slightly lighter brown toning from star 2 to above star 11. No defects and outstanding eye appeal. The obverse is satiny and the fine flowline luster covers even the highest points of the design. The reverse fields are hard and slightly reflective thanks to the new die. The contrast between the worn out obverse die and new, prooflike reverse die is remarkable. EDS, the only state for this brief die marriage, although this piece is especially early as evidenced by the prooflike reverse. CC#1, the only mint state example known of this rare variety. Called MS60 and CC#1 by 15 points in the Noyes census, his photo #22315. Bland says MS60 and CC#1 by 10 points. This is a fantastic cent, a highlight of an outstanding collection. Plated in the Wright book to illustrate the variety. Our grade is MS62. Pop 1. The only example graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3155 (PCGS # 37072) .
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
