1835 N-16 R2 Head of 1836 ANACS graded AU58

Lustrous light olive and steel brown with mint red showing in protected areas, especially on the reverse. An attractive cent with just a few marks including a tiny nick over the 5, a spot of darker toning above the O in ONE, and another over the N in CENT. The strike is soft at the top of the obverse and bottom of the reverse, a result of the dies being out of proper axial alignment (the die faces were not perfectly parallel). This alignment problem affects many of the variety. MDS with lightly flowlined fields and the usual die crack through most of the legend outside the wreath. This is the plate coin for the variety in the 1992 John Wright reference on the cents of 1816-1839. Graded MS60+ by Del Bland and once housed in a PCGS holder graded MS63BN (for the Superior sale 2/2/1992:587). Our grade is AU58. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the ANACS label.
