Description
Newcomb Plate 1822 N-12 Cent
1822 1C MS62 Brown NGC. MS60 EAC. N-12, Late Die State, R.4. The reverse rim is slightly dished at 12 o'clock and all die cracks described by John Wright are visible. This is the Newcomb plate coin for the obverse of N-7, 8, and 12 and also for reverse K. A Condition Census cent; tied for second finest of the variety, and one of only five or six Mint State examples that are known; the finest is considered an MS63 grade. Slightly reflective surfaces with attractive olive-brown color accented by pale blue and steel toning. The first two stars at lower left are slightly weak, but all the other stars are sharply defined. The devices on both sides are also equally well-defined. This is a nicely centered impression with full obverse and reverse border details. A small diagonal mark in the left obverse field will serve as a pedigree marker, as will a few minor spots on both surfaces. Only a few other scattered abrasions are noted. A highly attractive example of the variety, destined for the connoisseur's cabinet.Ex: Purchased prior to 1914 by Dr. George P.
