EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 109 1838 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Brown . Lustrous brown and light olive. The surfaces are satiny and the only marks are a small spot of darker toning (not carbon) in the field at the middle of the nose and two tiny ticks right of star 5. LDS, die state g, with a cud break from the rim under the 83 reaching up to the base of the 8 but not quite touching the 3. (In the latest state, this cud touches the 3.) Fine die rust covers much of the portrait, especially on the face, leaving a sandpaper texture. A very nice example of this interesting die state. Called MS62 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #34489. Our grade is MS62+, close to MS63. 37189.66/13092970 Ex Douglas F. Bird 5/5/1996-R.

LOT 110 1838 N-5 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown, CAC Approved . The obverse is frosty mint red fading to steel brown with at least 20% of the original mint color remaining. The reverse is a darker shade of light olive and chocolate brown with bluish steel overtones and slightly faded mint red in protected areas. Satiny mint luster covers this cent and the eye appeal is quite nice. A small spot of darker toning at the outer point of star 10 and a very light nick near the hair under star 7 are the only notable marks. E-MDS, die state a, with a sharp spike up to the left from the coronet where it touches the curl. The reverse die clashmarks inside the wreath are clear and a faint die crack connects the E in STATES to the leaf tip below the adjacent T. This is the Newcomb plate coin for the variety in his 1944 reference (Plate IX, Obverse 5, Reverse E). Called MS63 and CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and tied for CC#2, his photo #20667. Our grade is MS63. 37193.65/25134744 Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau & Co., 5/16/1945:693-Floyd T. Starr, Stack’s 6/13/1984:358-R.
