Description
1816 N-7 Cent, MS66 Brown
The Naftzger-Cardinal-Pogue Specimen
1816 1C N-7, R.3, MS66 Brown PCGS. Ex: Naftzger. Noyes Die
State a/a. The Coronet Head cent was introduced in 1816 and in its
inaugural year saw an astounding mintage of 2.8 million pieces
produced. This fully lustrous Premium Gem features pristine
surfaces and a bold strike, although several of the stars are flat.
Chestnut-brown surfaces exhibit considerable gold, faded from mint
red, along with traces of lighter mint red, and splashes of darker
steel-brown. This piece is spectacular, and most important, it is
not the usually encountered Randall Hoard variety. There are just
four examples seen at MS66 and designated Brown at PCGS with none
in the designation finer (4/26).Ex: Benjamin H. Collins; B. Max Mehl Personal Collection; T. James Clarke (10/1954); R.E.
