Auction 122 | Lot 6190 » Large Cents
PCGS 1854 MS 66 Red. N-25, R.3. While graded MS 66 Red by PCGS, the coin is at least MS 67 by EAC standards, according to copper expert Del Bland. According to the April 1993 PCGS Population Report, exactly two hundred 1854 Large cents have earned the MS designation. Out of these, over fifty percent are Brown, eighty are Red and Brown, and only sixteen are Red. Only one of the Red pieces has been graded MS 66--the coin we offer here. The significance of this piece is further underscored by the fact that over 2,000 Large cents of this type have been graded by PCGS. Fifty-three have earned the MS 66 grade, and only seventeen of these are Red. Remember, this is a type which spans the years from 1839 to 1857, inclusive, and which contains some years (such as 1853) which are represented by a large number of awfully nice coins. Technically, only one Braided Hair Large cent has been graded higher--a lone 1853 in MS 67 Brown. None other has been graded higher than MS 66. Now, let's take a look at the coin itself. As expected, the surfaces are immaculate. The strike is above average and the centers are very strong. The overall eye appeal is superb and the shimmering luster of the surfaces is one of this coin's best assets. We would not be surprised to see this coin set a new price record for the type.

PCGS 1854 MS 66 Red. The surfaces on this newly graded example are absolutely pristine, being incredibly void of noticeable abrasions and carbon staining. We are fortunate to offer two Braided Hair cents at this lofty grade level, with this coin the first of the date so graded by PCGS, none higher. (PCGS# 1906)

1854 1C MS65 Red PCGS. N-25, R.3. Delicate mint-made clash marks near the chin and throat identify this Newcomb pairing. This orange-red Gem is well struck on the central devices and on most stars, with occasional softness of definition seen on the rims and dentils. Virtually free from contact, the grade is only determined by a few small carbon flecks on each side. Housed in a prior generation holder.
From The Albert E. Willis Collection. (PCGS# 1906)

1854 1C MS64 Red NGC. N-17, R.1. The radiant gold color is seamless, save for a small spot near the N in ONE. Sharply struck and unabraded. Shallow strike-thrus, as made, are noted on the centers. Not a rare Newcomb variety, but very difficult to find with full Red color. As of (4/05), NGC has certified only one example (the present piece) both as N-17 and Red. (PCGS# 1906)
