Description
1824 N-3 Large Cent, MS63 Brown
Ample Mint Red
1824 1C Normal Date MS63 Brown PCGS. N-3, R.2. MRB AU55.
Faded border dentils suggest a later die state. This variety is
sometimes called the Divided Date for the gap between the 18 and 24
in the date. John Wright describes the variety as: "mildly
distinctive, mildly popular."Despite the presence of light wear on each side, this lovely olive-brown cent retains ample mint red that is particularly evident on the reverse. Any 1824 large cent with original mint color is a major rarity. The presence of so much original mint red suggests that this piece probably never circulated. Older dealers, such as B. Max Mehl, may have described the wear as "cabinet friction." In the 1989 EAC catalog, Noyes graded this cent AU55, describing the sharpness of a Mint State coin with "some cheek rub." He again called it AU55 in his 1991 photo book and tied for seventh finest. In 2005, his grade was lowered to AU50 and 12th finest known.
Perhaps universally known as Tony, New York coin dealer Anthony Terranova is a popular and well-respected figure in the national coin marketplace, and he is immediately recognized by virtually everyone in the early copper field. Terranova has been an independent dealer since 1978, handling rare and historically important material in the finest grades.
