Superb Gem 1820 Large Date Cent
N-13, Tied for Finest Certified

1820 1C Large Date MS67 Brown NGC. N-13, R.1. The familiar Randall Hoard variety with a multiply repunched L in LIBERTY and heavy die cracks (as made) that connect the stars. The famous hoard consisted of a buried keg of Mint State large cents dated 1816 to 1820 that was found in 1868 by a Georgia merchant. Most of the hoard eventually ended up in the possession of John Swan Randall, a Norwich, N.Y. collector who was prominent in hobby circles in the 1870s. This attractive specimen features olive-brown patina interspersed with considerable mint red. The design elements are sharply struck, save for the usual softness on the star centers. Remarkably clean and well preserved. While numerous Uncirculated examples of this issue are extant, few can compare with the outstanding quality of this Superb Gem. MRB MS63. Census: 3 in 67 Brown, 0 finer (3/10).
