1838 N-12 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown
Lustrous bluish steel and light olive with about 10% of the mint color remaining, mostly on the reverse. A very attractive cent but there are a few small marks. The notable ones are 5 tiny ticks on the jaw and chin and a minor planchet flake in the dentils between stars 2 & 3 (as struck). Otherwise this cent is choice. MDS. The fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines but the dentils are complete around both sides. The doubling on the left side of the wreath (from a doubled die, not die bounce) is still clear, strongest below ED in UNITED. Graded MS60 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census (no photo). Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#5 in his census. Our grade is MS60+. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Newcomb-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
