Description
Scarce 1800 S-190 Overdate Cent
1800 1C Overdate, First Hair. VF30 Details, Corroded, Cleaned, ANACS. S-190, B-5, R.3. Noyes VG10; tied for CC-22. Photo #26734. Our EAC Grade Fine 15.Equivalents. Proskey 2; Doughty 140; McGirk 1B; Ross 2; Clapp-Newcomb 1; EAC 3; Encyclopedia 1735; PCGS #1452.
Surfaces. Medium olive and mahogany with good eye appeal. The surfaces are typically abraded, and the only evidence that this example may have been cleaned and retoned is some faint orange color on the obverse, through the date and around the devices.
Variety. Overdate. Style I Hair. U and final A repunched. The obverse appears on S-190, S-191, NC-5, and NC-6. The reverse appears on S-190.
Die State I. Light obverse clash marks are located below the chin, but no other die defects are visible on either side.
Census. Bland records three finer pieces, including two Mint State coins (one in the ANS) and an AU. Following these, his Census drops to the Very Fine grades.
Commentary. Bill Noyes has assigned a conservative VG10 grade to this example, and he recorded it as tied for 22nd finest in his list. Once again, this example illustrates that grading is truly subjective, with each person having his own opinion, even among the "experts." Regardless of which grade you prefer, be it the grade of Del Bland, Bill Noyes, Denis Loring, Mark Borckardt, or any of the grading services, the best we can all hope for is that each individual applies his particular standards in a consistent manner. If you, as a collector, are aware of how your own personal grading standards compare to the opinions of others, you can gain a good understanding of a given coin's grade, based on the description of others.
Provenance. Jules Reiver (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 19444, $2,185.
Personality. John Baringbaum was a roller at the Mint, per the January 1800 Mint payroll. There is a possibility that this is the same person as John Birnbaum. The roller was responsible for initial preparation of the planchet strip, bringing it to proper thickness for the planchet cutting operation.
