Description
Finest Available 1835 N-11 Cent
1835 1C Head of 1834 Small 8 and Stars MS62 Brown NGC. AU55 EAC. N-11, Early Die State, R.5. This is the finest specimen available of the variety, one of about 45 examples known. The only finer example is the Clapp-ANS proof. Despite the pedigree, this coin is not plated in Newcomb. At one time, it was thought that this example might be a proof strike, but that is not the case. Ted Naftzger had "Proof, blunt" written on his envelope, with the word Proof later crossed out. John Wright noted: "the AU (Newcomb:666-Starr:306) may be a mishandled Proof." The obverse is light olive-brown with some orange color around the devices. The reverse is similar with some lighter tan. Typical of this variety, the border is sharp and broad, the central devices somewhat softly defined, and most of the stars are blunt.Ex: Howard Newcomb (J.C. Morgenthau, 5/45), lot 666; Floyd Starr (Stack's, 6/84), lot 306; R.E. Naftzger, Jr.; Eric Streiner (1/94).(#1717)(Registry values: P1)
