Description

1839 1C Type of 1840 MS 60 Brown. N-8, R.1. A lovely coin despite the basal Mint State designation, even glossy-brown patina envelops both the obverse and the reverse with blushes of blue and golden undertones throughout. While the central features display razor sharp definition, we call attention to trivial incompleteness of strike in select peripheral areas. A few minor carbon spots are noted on both sides and seem to account for the assigned grade. Overall, this is a pleasing representation of this transitional large cent.
