1838 N-11 Cent, PR65 Brown
Ex: Hines-Sheldon-Naftzger-Twin Leaf

1838 1C N-11, R.6 as a Proof, PR65 Brown PCGS. CAC. There are approximately 20 proof 1838 large cents known and the present piece, according to our records, is tied for the eighth finest of those coins. All of the known proofs are from the Newcomb-11 die pair, and these are the last proofs of the design. One reported 1839 proof of the Braided Hair type has not been seen for more than 60 years. This impressive Gem proof is from the Twin Leaf Collection where it was certified PR66 Brown NGC. A small planchet defect is noted on the reverse border at 7 o'clock. Both sides have rich sea-green and pale gold toning with remnants of original orange mint color, primarily on the reverse. Population: 2 in 65 Brown, 4 in 65 Red and Brown (11/22).
