Description

1819 N-9 Cent, MS63 Red and Brown
Condition Census, CAC Gold Label

1819 1C Small Date, N-9, R.1, MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. Gold CAC. Our EAC Grade MS64. Tinges of light brown patina on the high points prevent a Red designation to this beautiful cent. Trivial marks fail to diminish the beauty of this piece. A lone splash of maroon patina is noted below the second T in STATES.

Variety: The obverse and reverse of 1819 N-9 appear nowhere else in the large cent series. Border dentils are mostly absent with light radial flowlines on both sides of this late die state piece.

Population Data (3/15): PCGS shows 14 MS63 Red and Brown with 22 finer in that color designation, but this coin is the only one that has earned the coveted CAC gold approval sticker. In fact, it is the only Red and Brown example of the Coronet type to earn a gold sticker.

Heritage Commentary: This variety was part of the Randall Hoard with countless Mint State pieces surviving, although few can equal this lovely example. This example is a virtual twin to the Naftzger coin called third finest known.

Provenance: William P. Fowler Collection, Part II (Stack's Bowers, 1/2012), lot 8101.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2254, Variety PCGS# 36653, Base PCGS# 1607, Greysheet# 80224)
