Terry Denman Collection of Middle Dates Part 1

THE TERRY DENMAN COLLECTION 

NEWCOMB PLATE COIN

LOT 165 1828 N-8 R3+ VF35 . Ten points sharper but recolored glossy light olive brown with traces of very faded red in a few protected areas. Smooth, sharp, and free of marks; the eye appeal is quite nice for a retoned cent. MDS, die state b, with a clear die crack through the tops of TED extending strongly from the left top of that T to the dentils over the adjacent I. The reverse of this cent is plated to represent reverse H in the 1944 Newcomb reference on the cents of 1816-1839 (Plate VI).  Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau & C0. 5/16/1945:599-Floyd T.

LOT 166 1828 N-9 R4 EF45 . Slightly sharper but there are traces of fine carbon or verdigris in protected areas on the reverse, mostly around the N in ONE. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and frosty and the toning is an attractive chocolate with lighter brown in protected areas. A single thin nick on the jawline is the only notable contact mark. Sharply struck MDS. This cent has very nice eye appeal.
