Description
1837 N-4 Cent, MS66 Red and Brown
High Condition Census
1837 1C Medium Letters, N-4, R.2, MS66 Red and Brown PCGS.
CAC. Perhaps a dozen Mint State examples survive from this
plentiful die marriage. This example matches the plate of the
Andrew M. Hain Collection that Stack's sold in 2002. Two decades
earlier, the coin appeared in our (Steve Ivy Rare Coins) 1980 ANA
auction. It is tied for fourth finest in the Noyes condition census
based on his examination of the black and white illustration in the
Hain catalog, but likely should hold a higher census ranking. The
obverse features substantial red mint luster with lovely emerald
toning on the high points. The reverse blends emerald and
steel-blue with bright red luster. PCGS Population for all Plain
