Description
Rasmussen's Newcomb-3
1829 Medium Letters Cent, MS62 Brown
1829 1C Medium Letters MS62 Brown NGC. N-3, R.3. Ex:
Rasmussen Collection. This variety is almost always found bluntly
struck. As a result, just a touch of wear yields the appearance of
a middle or lower grade coin. The Condition Census, therefore, is
lower than would be expected for a variety of this rarity. This
example has a very sharp strike, unusually so for the variety, and
is among the finest known. It is approximately equal to the Jack
Robinson coin (called third finest) in terms of actual grade, but
far finer overall with a much sharper strike. Both sides have full
and crisp border details. The surfaces are attractive and only
moderately abraded with olive-brown color accented by lighter tan
around the devices. EAC 50.Ex: Stack's (10/1978), lot 617; Roy Harte Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 1/1983), lot 589; Wes Rasmussen Collection (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 3557, which realized $4,600.(Registry values: P1)
