1836 Coronet Head 1C PCGS MS63 BR
1836 Coronet Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous medium brown and chocolate, the obverse with subtle woodgrained toning and delicate overtones of bluish steel on both sides. Sharply struck and very attractive. It is difficult to find an identifying mark, a shiny scuff in the field over the N in CENT barely qualifies but it will have to do. MDS with the usual cud break above star 8 plus three radial die cracks on the reverse (the first one through the ribbon tip, the second through the T in UNITED, and the third a very fine one off the stem tip. Called MS62 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #37205. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#6. A beautiful cent with an impressive provenance. Our grade is MS63. Pop 2; 1 in 64BN; 1 in 66RB. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #0858 (PCGS # 37126) .
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
