Description

1836 1C MS 62 Brown. N-3, R.1. Early Die State, Perfect Obverse. While the majority of extant examples of this die variety display a prominent break along the obverse above star 6, this important example shows a perfect obverse. The reverse display even chocolate-brown patination, but the obverse combines glossy-brown patina with blushes of original mint luster about the devices. Crisply struck, the surfaces are free of contact marks save for an inconspicuous abrasion below Liberty's lowest hair curls. A few carbon spots that include a sizeable one on Liberty's cheek serve to limit the grade. Nevertheless, proponents of original, attractive copper coinage should certainly recognize this example's noteworthy qualities.
