Description
1832 N-2 Large Cent, MS63 Brown
The Noyes Plate Coin
Ex: Proskey-Hines
1832 1C Medium Letters MS63 Brown PCGS. N-2, R.3. MRB MS60+.
Ex: Downing-Boka. The obverse is cracked at the outer points of
stars 5 to 10, as always. The dies are lightly flowlined, drawing
the stars and letters toward the rim, with complete obverse and
reverse borders. A short die flaw down to the left from the bottom
of the E in CENT resembles a crack and "has been claimed as a
crack," according to John Wright.Frosty and fully lustrous surfaces show steel-blue on the obverse with reddish-brown on the reverse, faded from original mint red. The surfaces are exceptional. Called MS63 in the Oeschner catalog, Noyes grades this piece MS60 and fourth finest known. The Noyes plate coin in United States Large Cents, 1816-1839.
T. James Clarke (1875-1952) lived in Jamestown, New York, where he was a box and paper goods manufacturer. He was born in Canada and immigrated circa 1894. An avid collector of coins, stamps, currency, and watches, Clarke is best known for his small boxes used by many contemporary collectors. Clarke sold his entire collection to Ted Naftzger, who then sold duplicates through Abe Kosoff in the April 1956 sale of the T. James Clarke Collection.
