Description
Delightful Gem 1839 Petite Head Cent, N-8
1839 1C Type of 1840 MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh. N-8, R.1, the only 'Head of 1840' variety and the only die marriage for the year with the 1 in the date completely left of the bust truncation. A well struck Gem specimen with smooth surfaces, satiny luster, and lovely intermingled reddish-golden and tan-brown color.N-8 represents the culmination of years of large cent design tinkering by Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. The so-called Petite head, identified by its forward-leaning bust with a lengthy lock of hair beneath, remained in place until late in 1843, when it was replaced by the Mature head. Gobrecht's death in 1844 froze the design in place until the 1857 demise of the large cent. EAC 64.
