THE TERRY DENMAN COLLECTION PART II

LOT 107 1838 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown . Lustrous woodgrained mix of light golden brown and tan mixed with dark bluish steel and olive. The contrast is rather dramatic between the light and dark tones, and the abrupt color changes hurt the eye appeal. The only mark is a planchet flake on the rim just below star 12. M-LDS, die state d late, with the dies well worn and a strong rim cud break at star 12 halfway up to star 11. The upper lump in the so-called colon center dot on the reverse is weak and barely visible. Called MS63 and CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 and tied for CC#7, his photo #20760. Our grade is MS60. 37186.63/13085024

Ex Denis W. Loring-R. S. “Robbie” Brown, Jr., Superior 9/30/1986:854-R. E. “Ted” Naftzger, Jr.-Naftzger Estate, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/ Goldbergs 2/1/2009:407-Chris McCawley-Terry S. Denman Collection

LOT 108 1838 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Brown . Frosty light chocolate and bluish steel brown with traces of faded mint red on both sides. Only trivial marks including a few ticks on the bottom edge of the bust, a few more on the front edge of the neck, and a tiny nick right of the upper lip. A spot of lighter tan toning connecting star 13 to the curl above is a good identifying mark. EDS, die state a, before any die cracks on the obverse. Called MS60 and tied for C#16 in the Noyes census, his photo #35895. Our grade is MS60. This was one of Ted Naftzger’s earliest purchases of a large cent, a relatively modest piece considering the eventual quality of his collection, but he never let it go. 37189.64/13093931
