1838 N-10 Cent, MS66 Brown
Ex: Newcomb, Starr, Naftzger

1838 1C N-10, R.1, MS66 Brown PCGS. Ex: Naftzger Collection. Noyes Die State A/D. A spike from the upper right point of star 10 confirms status as Newcomb-10. A radial die crack on the reverse near 3 o'clock confirms the marriage. A splendid Premium Gem that shows glimpses of peach-gold in design recesses, though open areas are deep gunmetal-gray. Marks are virtually absent, with a small rim flaw on the reverse at 11:30 mentioned as an identifier, along with a tan freckle west of star 6. Ranked high in the various Condition Census rankings for N-10, and pedigreed to some of the most respected early copper luminaries. Our EAC grade MS63.
