Description

Gem Red and Brown 1838 Cent, N-6

1838 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. N-6, R.1. By 1838, the profile of the Matron cent had changed. Liberty appeared younger and slimmer. This was the work of Christian Gobrecht, but he was apparently unhappy with his changes, since he made further modifications to the portrait in 1839 and again in 1843. The present lustrous Gem has a mostly red reverse, while the obverse is brown with mint red in protected areas. Essentially unabraded, and carbon is minimal. Well struck except for the star centers. EAC 63.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 225V, PCGS# 1742, Greysheet# 1043)
