THE TERRY DENMAN COLLECTION PART II

LOT 58 1835 N-7/17 R1 Head of 1836, PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved . Lustrous light to medium brown with traces of mint red in protected areas. Satiny and quite attractive but there are a few microscopic marks. The notable marks are a few very light scratches and abrasions on the cheek and a few more in the field between the mouth and star 2. None of these marks is visible to the unaided eye, and even with a glass you need just the right angle on the light to catch them. LDS, die state b. The earlier lumps on the bottoms of the 1 & 8 are gone, the fields are flowlined, and there are tiny lumps from die rust evident on both sides, clearest in the field around ONE CENT. This is Newcomb’s #17. There is a clear double profile on the forehead, nose, lips, and chin with additional doubling on stars 1-5 (from die bounce or “machine doubling). Graded MS63 and tied for CC#1 honors in the Noyes census. Our grade is MS63 net MS62 (but the eye appeal suggests the higher grade). 37057.64/30800036

LOT 59 1835 N-8 R1 Head of 1836, PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown . Highly lustrous and very attractive frosty light bluish steel brown and light olive with faded mint color covering the protected areas on both sides, at least 15% of the surface displaying some shade of faded red. There is a shallow low spot on the neck (caused by debris on the die) and a dull nick or planchet flake just left of the low spot. Otherwise this cent is virtually flawless and the satiny luster gives this cent outstanding eye appeal. MDS, die state c, with a fine die crack passing from the dentils up along the right side of the 1 in the date and through the portrait to star 8 where it fades out. Called MS70- and CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS65 and tied for CC#1, his photo #21785. Our grade is MS64+, close to MS65. 37061.64/13086962
