Description
Attractive 1822 N-9 Cent Rarity
1822 1C XF45 NGC. Fine 15 EAC. N-9, Early Die State, R.5. The reverse appears only slightly later than the N-8 cent in the previous lot. Newcomb recorded this as his Die State I. He recorded three Die States with I and II listed as extremely rare and die state III described as the highest degree of rarity. This is the rarest of the 12 varieties that were known to Newcomb when he compiled his reference that was published just after his death. John Wright noted that "collectors have clamored after it for decades." Approximately 60 examples of this variety are known today, with this specimen ranked as 10th finest. Various observers have described it as either Fine 15 or VF20 based on EAC grading, and we feel that Fine 15 is the appropriate determination. The surfaces have olive and light brown color with traces of deeper steel brown around the devices. Very minor raised verdigris is visible on both sides, and most of this could probably be removed with judicious effort. This is a highly attractive example of the variety with only minor abrasions as expected for the grade.Ex: Bebee's, Inc; Alpine Numismatics (1/84).(#1624) (Registry values: N491)
