Description
1837 1C Plain Cords, Medium Letters MS65 Brown NGC. N-16, Early Die State, R.4. Among the large cents of 1837, 16 different varieties are known, including three that are rated R.4. Those three are N-15, N-16, and N-17, the last three recorded by Newcomb in his reference. Most examples of this N-16 variety are from a late die state with the reverse die heavily lapped. Very few survive in the early die state, as seen here, with complete reverse border dentilation. The advanced die state specialist will immediately understand the importance of this example. Both sides are fully lustrous with lovely olive-brown color and unblemished surfaces. The obverse has diagonal stripes of deep steel color, and both the obverse and the reverse have about 10% original pale orange mint color. EAC 63.Ex: Denis W. Loring (3/1980); John J.
