Description
1821 N-2 Cent, AU Details
Once Traded as a Proof
1821 1C -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. N-2, R.1. MRB
AU55. A sharp die line between the bust point and star 1 points
to an early die state of the variety. Both sides have crisp dentils
and bold design details. Reflective surfaces exhibit deep
reddish-brown toning with lovely sea-green peripheries. Al Boka's
envelope indicates that this piece was once traded as a proof.
While a few proof 1821 N-2 large cents are known, this piece is
best described as somewhat prooflike. Regardless of its
description, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a
pleasing, high-grade example of an 1821 large cent. Previously
certified MS63 Brown PCGS.An authority in the field of Conder tokens, Jerry A. Bobbe is also a world-class cellist who trained with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. A longtime member of Early American Coppers and still active today, Bobbe sold his collection of proof and Mint State large cents in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Ex: Del N. Bland; Jerry A. Bobbe (1983 EAC); R.E. Naftzger, Jr.; C. Douglas Smith; Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz (2/1990); Jon Alan Boka.
