1838 N-5 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown, CAC ApprovedThe obverse is frosty mint red fading to steel brown with at least 20% of the original mint color remaining. The reverse is a darker shade of light olive and chocolate brown with bluish steel overtones and slightly faded mint red in protected areas. Satiny mint luster covers this cent and the eye appeal is quite nice. A small spot of darker toning at the outer point of star 10 and a very light nick near the hair under star 7 are the only notable marks. E-MDS, die state a, with a sharp spike up to the left from the coronet where it touches the curl. The reverse die clashmarks inside the wreath are clear and a faint die crack connects the E in STATES to the leaf tip below the adjacent T. This is the Newcomb plate coin for the variety in his 1944 reference (Plate IX, Obverse 5, Reverse E). Called MS63 and CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and tied for CC#2, his photo #20667. Our grade is MS63.Certificate Number: 37193.65/25134744Pedigree: Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau & Co., 5/16/1945:693-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/1984:358-R. E.
