1838 Cent, MS66+ Brown CAC
N-7, Outstanding Preservation

1838 1C N-7, R.1, MS66+ Brown PCGS. CAC. A die line from a leaf tip to the F in OF is the pick-up point for Newcomb-7. In addition, the reverse "compass point" center dot bulges out at 11 o'clock. This is a magnificent light to medium brown example with hints of the initial orange-gold color within the legends and other design crevices. A blush of deeper blue at the top of the jaw identifies the specimen. The surfaces are virtually unabraded, and the coin ranks among the finest 1838 cents of any variety. PCGS Population (all varieties included): 33 in 66 (4 in 66+), 2 finer (3/26). CAC (all varieties included): 15 in 66, 1 finer (3/26).
