Description
Important Select BU 1810 Large Cent, S-285
1810 1C MS63 Brown Uncertified. S-285, R.2. Die State Two, although the RT from LIBERTY is not clashed in the reverse field below the T in CENT. Writing in 1988, Breen stated of this variety: "...the few Mint State survivors are mostly red and slightly prooflike, from a tiny hoard discovered in the 1930s." In addition to the frosty finish that characterizes both sides, this coin's pedigree confirms that it was not part of that hoard. Beautiful shades of orange-brown and golden-brown patina overlay the mostly smooth surfaces with traces of blue-gray iridescence over the central and right reverse. Unevenness of strike is noted only on the reverse over the letters in STATES, and the only mentionable distraction is a crimson tinged area of porosity on the obverse over the point of Liberty's bust and star 1. A similarly colored, yet less conspicuous spot is also seen at 2 o'clock on the obverse border. This is an aesthetically pleasing representative with a significant pedigree. Accompanied by PCGS insert #21016689 that also grades this coin MS63 Brown.Ex: Harlan P. Smith Collection (Chapman Brothers, 5/8/1906), lot 1115; unknown intermediaries; Charles S.
