Description
The Newcomb Plate 1819 N-10 Cent, Tied for Finest Known
1819 1C Small Date MS64 Red and Brown NGC. MS64 EAC. N-10, Early Die State, R.4. This is a scarce variety and a Condition Census example; and it is one of two similar coins owned by Floyd Starr! In his reference on the middle date cents, Bill Noyes listed this coin and the other Starr coin at the same grade, calling each MS65 and tied for finest known. Del Bland also considers the two Starr coins to be equally fine, grading each MS65. Even though we have described it as MS64, the fact remains that experts agree this cent is tied with the other Starr coin as finest known for the N-10 variety.Although it has considerable color, it is important to remember that this is not a Randall Hoard coin. There are only about five or six Mint State examples of this variety in all grades. This example is an early die state with nearly full dentilation on both sides, as well as strong central relief on the reverse. The surfaces are exceptional, with nearly full red mint color on both sides, just beginning to tone to medium brown and steel. Just a few trivial blemishes are noted. This is a lovely cent for the advanced specialist or connoisseur. The obverse is plated in Newcomb for variety 10, and the reverse is plated as reverse H.
