Description

1827 N-11 Cent, MS64 Brown
The Herman Halpern Example

1827 1C N-11, R.1, MS64 Brown NGC. Our EAC Grade MS62. A splendid bluish-olive brown cent that retains noticeable orange mint color, this piece displays a typical strike with slight weakness on the high points, especially evident on the leaves. The nicely centered strike results in full borders, although the reverse denticles are mostly absent. A borderline Red and Brown example.

Variety: The doubled base of the T in CENT is an instant identification point for this plentiful variety.

Population Data (7/14): NGC has certified 10 examples of all 1827 varieties in MS64 Brown and seven finer. Only two examples there have earned the Red and Brown designation.

Heritage Commentary: The 1827 N-11 cent is rated R.1, the most plentiful on the scale. However, true Mint State pieces are elusive and much scarcer than that rarity ranking implies.

Provenance: Herman Halpern Collection (Bowers and Merena, 3/1997), lot 85.
