1839 N-5 R2 Booby Head, PCGS graded MS64 BrownFrosty light bluish steel brown with traces of mint red in protected areas. Satiny mint luster covers this cent and the eye appeal is quite nice. A tiny nick on the cheek near the jawline and a speck of very light carbon at the dentils under the wreath are the notable defects, and they are not significant. MDS, die state b. The fields are covered with fine radial flowlines and the dentils are blurry. The early die lines over NITED are gone. An attractive Booby Head cent that comes with a special provenance. Purchased as a 65th birthday gift for Dan Holmes by his wife Joan. Graded MS62 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #74765. Our grade is MS60+.
