Not Sold Description
Remarkable Obverse Die Cap
N-35 1847 Cent, MS63 Brown
1847 Large Cent--Obverse Die Cap--MS63 Brown NGC. N-35, High
R.3. The obverse is distinguished by numerous lines down from
the back of Liberty's hair. The prime attraction of this piece is
not the scarce die pair, however, but the dramatic die cap that has
left remarkably tall "walls" sloping down to the obverse at the
bottom. As often seen on dramatic die caps, the detail on the
portrait is razor-sharp. The reverse is flattened out, but
surprisingly, both the wreath and the words ONE CENT retain
considerable detail, though UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is lost to the
sides. Glossy olive and golden-brown surfaces show scrapes and
pinscratches at the portrait and the lower right obverse.
