Description

1820 1C Large Date MS 66 Brown NGC. This high grade example most likely traces its pedigree to the famous Randall Hoard, a buried keg of Mint State large cents dated 1816 to 1820 that was found in 1868 by a Georgia merchant. After passing through various intermediaries, most of the hoard ended up in the possession of John Swan Randall, a Norwich, N.Y. collector who was prominent in hobby circles in the 1870s. This example has glossy, lustrous brown surfaces that are highlighted by tinges of red and pink. Neither side shows any appreciable abrasions, and the obverse stars are connected by a long die crack that encircles the design.
