THE TERRY DENMAN COLLECTION PART II

LOT 137 1839 N-9 R2 Silly Head, PCGS graded MS64 Brown . Lustrous light steel brown and olive with frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. Attractive flowline luster covers the fields on both sides and the only marks visible to the unaided eye are a couple light nicks left of the earlobe. However, under magnification and the right light you can find a fine hairline scratch along the lower edge of the jaw, another down the front edge of the neck, and a third along the lower edge of the bust over the date. MDS with the obverse die cracks well advanced but no rim cuds. The parallel diagonal die lines up to the left from star 7 are very dull but visible. The die crack passing down the cheek and neck show several small lumps where small chips of the die have flaked away. Called MS60 and tied for CC#17 in the Noyes census, his photo #36391. Our grade is MS60 net AU58 (but the eye appeal suggests a solid mint state grade). 37234.64/13092003

 FINEST N-10 BOOBY HEAD

LOT 138 1839 N-10 R3 Booby Head, PCGS graded MS64 Brown . Frosty steel brown and light chocolate with very subtle overtones of light bluish steel. Satiny mint luster covers this cent and the eye appeal is quite nice. A rather wide but very faint band of slightly darker steel toning extends from star 3 to the cheek where it fades out. The notable marks are a speck of carbon at the right top of the D in UNITED and another in the dentils under the wreath. Nicely struck E-MDS. The reverse is just starting to show microscopic die flowlines at the dentil tips. For many years this die variety was considered to be a late die state of N-5, but subsequent research has confirmed that, although the obverse is the same as N-5 in a later die state, the reverse is different. Newcomb had this one right, and we have fallen back into line. Called MS62 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21211. Bland says MS60 and CC#1. Our grade is MS60+. (The front of the holder is scuffed.). 403843.64/13087626
