Description
Tied for Second Best 1838 N-14 Cent
1838 1C MS64 Brown NGC. MS60 EAC. N-14, Early Die State, R.4. This is the rarest 1838 variety among all of those actually known to Howard Newcomb. Two additional varieties have been discovered since his work was published. Only three Mint State examples of this die combination are known, and only one of those is clearly finer than this example. Prior to 1976, the N-14 variety was considered an extreme rarity, and was identified by its prominent obverse die break. In 1976, Richard Punchard found the first perfect die example, and today the N-14 die combination is only R.4. Both sides of this pleasing cent have deep steel-brown color with underlying frosty luster. A touch of faded mint red is visible on the reverse. This is an important opportunity for the variety specialist.Ex: H. Devore; Russell Wyatt Sale (Superior, 9/85), lot 666.(#1741) (Registry values: N991)
