Description

Solid Mint State 1806 Large Cent

1806 MS 63 Obverse Scratches. S-270, R.1, the only variety. A splendid, fully uncirculated coin that has glossy brown luster that shows the faintest undertone of red when tilted just so. Struck from the later state of the dies with light cracks and swelling from the lowest curl through the date. Generally well struck, especially on the hair curls, with some irregularity on the wreath and upper portion of the reverse as a result of the die swelling. There are several small scratches in the area of the Y in LIBERTY, these being the most conspicuous flaws seen on either side. Undoubtedly Condition Census, but we are uncertain which specimen this piece is of the six listed in Noyes' book.
Ex: Chris McCawley.
