Description
1809 S-280, B-1 Cent, XF45
A Single-Variety Year
Key to the Classic Head Cents
1809 1C XF45 PCGS. S-280, B-1, R.2. MRB XF40. Breen Die
State VI, with the crack to the left top of E in ONE extremely
faint. The obverse die is blundered, with the 9 punched over a
smaller 9. That feature prompted older collectors and catalogers to
describe these coins as 1809/8 overdates, but a proper description
is repunched date. This is the key date of the Classic Head cent
series, with only one known die marriage. Type, date, and variety
collectors all seek this single variety, generating considerable
demand.The surfaces are lovely, despite being cleaned and recolored. The obverse is olive and darker brown, the reverse mostly dark brown with a few splashes of lighter tan near the border. Noyes grades this piece XF45 with the sharpness of AU50, and tied for 14th in his roster.
A retired medical entomologist with the U.S. Army, Lieutenant Colonel Darwin B. Palmer, Jr., is a charter member of Early American Coppers and a former vice president of that organization. His favorite year of the early cents is 1794, and his name appears in the condition census many times for those coins.
Ex: Darwin Palmer (6/1990); Jon Alan Boka.
