Description
Important 1835 N-18 Large Cent Rarity
1835 1C Small 8 and Stars. N-18, Low R.5. Fine 15 NGC. VG10 EAC. This is the first of two varieties that were not included in the Newcomb reference, which is surprising as it was discovered in 1914 and described in print soon after. John Wright notes that this variety was actually discovered by A.C. Gies, and was described by Dr. Charles McGirk as his number 1V for 1835. Not until 1952 was it rediscovered by Breen, and numerous examples have been located since that time. Today, this variety is on the border of Rarity-4 with about 75 specimens known. This example remains in a tie for second finest, the best known just reaching the VF20 grade level per EAC standards. It is very well detailed with a few scattered marks and moderate wear on Liberty's portrait. It appears to have been well struck, from dies that were rotated clockwise by approximately thirty-five degrees, with some flatness noted on the obverse stars. A top-end example of an unlisted rarity, and a prize to be won tonight.Ex: Harris (9/7/1969). Envelope Included.(Registry values: P1)
