Terry Denman Collection of Middle Dates Part 1

EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

 RARE TERMINAL STATE N-1

LOT 2 1816 N-1 R4 VG10 . Glossy steel brown and chocolate with lighter brown in protected areas. No corrosion with smooth surfaces are even wear. Just minor contact marks consistent with the grade including a dull rim nick right of star 8 and two more at ERI. Very rare LDS, die state e, with a bold cud break connecting NITE to the rim above. The cud consumed so much of the planchet that the opposing dentils at stars 4-5 are very weak. Graded VF20 net F12 and finest of the die state in the Noyes census, his photo #33198. A very important piece for the collector of significant die states.

LOT 3 1816 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved . Highly lustrous light olive and steel brown. The surfaces are satiny and choice, and this cent has great eye appeal A nick over star 12 and a spot of different toning under the C in CENT are the best identifying marks. MDS, die state b, with the usual rim cud breaks between stars 8-11. Nicely struck for this variety. The hair at the forehead is nearly full, which is quite unusual. Ted Naftzger noted on his collection envelope (which accompanies the lot) “The best struck N2 seen.” Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 with several others in the Noyes census, his photo #21379. Our grade is MS63. 36526.64/13079737
