Description

Colorful Pedigree
1822 1C MS62 Brown PCGS. N-11, R.3. MRB MS63. Sharp border
dentils indicate an early die state. This splendid cent has frosty
olive luster with splendid gold and iridescent toning on both sides
and ranks among the finest known examples. Noyes graded this piece
MS63 in the 1989 EAC catalog, MS60+ in his 1991 photo book, and
MS60 in his 2005 Census book, tied for fourth finest known. Doug
Smith's envelope provides a colorful provenance:"Finest known of this very rare in the high grades variety, ex The Great Whitlow to The Mad Monarch @ $140 in 3/69. In trade from the MM on 9/13/1974, but subsequently surrendered to him with the cream of my 1822's plus a few other of my life support systems (such as the great 36 N6) for THE Unicorn. The MM at once buried That Chicago Gangster in this coin @ $1100. However, I regained it from the gangster in the S-234 trade 3/27/1980 at EAC-80 in Arlington, Va." Ted Naftzger added: "CDS to REN 5/8/83 at EAC LaGuardia in 'the group of 39.' "
