1849 Coronet Head Cent. G6
Sharpness VG8 with some light rim bruises on both sides, including a few under the date and another under the end of the wreath ribbon. Otherwise there are only some minor nicks consistent with the grade. No spots, stains, or corrosion of any kind. The attribution points for this extremely rare variety are clear. Glossy medium brown. Only 7 examples are known, one of the very few die varieties missing from the famous and nearly complete collection formed by the late Jules Reiver. The condition census is 58+-50-12-12-12-8-6+, this being the lowest graded of the group but still a decent cent.<p><i>Fred H. Borcherdt 7/90-J. R. Grellman, Jr. 7/90-Gary M. Ruttenberg-J. R.
