<Our item number 113354><B>1849 Coronet Head Cent. N-5 R3. NGC graded MS-63 Brown.</B> Glossy dark chocolate and steel with medium brown toning in protected areas. The only marks are some microscopic planchet chips scattered about the obverse, mostly in the field off the chin &#40;all as struck&#41;. Sharply struck very early die state, die state a. The obverse fields are prooflike and fine die polishing lines cover the field behind the portrait. The earliest state seen for this variety. The edges of the planchet are beveled, as usual for several die states of this variety. Called a proof in the Sloss sale held by Abe Kosoff in 1959, but it is a business strike using a new, polished obverse die. Great eye appeal regardless. <B>EAC grade MS60.</B> Tied for CC#3 overall but finest of the early die state by a wide margin. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;750-1,250. <I><BR>Ex Homer K. Downing-Dr. James O. Sloss, Abe Kosoff 10/21/59:271 &#40;where called a proof&#41;.
