Description
Tied for Finest Known 1826 N-1 Cent
1826 1C MS62 Brown NGC. MS60+ EAC. N-1, Intermediate Die State, R.2. Del Bland has recorded this example at the top spot in his Census, tied with a few others for honors as finest known. An intermediate die state with a rim break just right of star 6, resembling that seen on N-5, except the latter is over star 6. Most details are sharply defined with only a few stars showing weakness. This is a lovely cent with deep chocolate-brown surfaces and soft luster. The obverse has wisps of tan and faded red mint color. The reverse is similar with pale gold toning in addition to the other colors. The obverse die has a diagonal bar in the field just right of the date, leading some to call this an overdate, which of course it is not. John Wright repeated a comment from Dr. Sheldon: "Doubtless as a joke, somebody seems to have sold one of these to a beginner as an 'overdate'. Now the joke has spread, and collectors in general are often invited to pay a generous price for this 'overdate' as part of their initiation to cent collecting."Ex: R.E. Naftzger, Jr.; A.
