Description

1837 N-6 Cent, PR63 Brown
Plain Cords, Medium Letters
Ex: Oscar J. Pearl

1837 1C Plain Cords, Medium Letters, N-6, PR63 Brown ANACS. Ex: Pearl. Plain Hair Cords. This sharply struck 1837 N-6 cent with reflective fields is a nice representative from dies that were used to coin both proofs and business strikes. In his 1977 Proof Encyclopedia, Walter Breen recorded this coin and the Howard Newcomb-Floyd Starr coin as the two known proofs from the N-6 die pair. In addition, about a dozen 1837 proof large cents are known of other varieties, including N-3, N-9, and N-10. Considerable rose and light blue toning appears on the mirrored brown surfaces of this lovely cent. All areas indicate a bold strike on this presentable specimen. Our EAC grade PR60.
