Description

Elusive 1838 Gem Proof Large Cent, Newcomb-11.

1838 1C PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. N-11, Low R-6, as Proof. Even reddish-brown patination visits lustrous surfaces. The design elements are nicely centered on the planchet, with strong dentilation showing on each side. Sharply struck in the centers, thought the peripheral areas reveal softness on the star centers. The surfaces are remarkably well preserved, and display no mentionable contact marks or unsightly spotting. A very rare issue in Proof, with approximately 30 or so examples know to survive from these dies. A lovely coin for the advanced large cent collector!
