Terry Denman Collection of Middle Dates Part 1

THE TERRY DENMAN COLLECTION 

NEWCOMB PLATE COIN

LOT 75 1819 N-10 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown . Very attractive frosty mint red mellowing to steel brown, about half the faded red remaining. Both sides are covered with satiny mint luster and this cent has outstanding eye appeal. The only marks are a short, fine hairline scratch in the field off the nose tip plus a few tiny ticks on the cheek and in the field off the chin. A good identifying mark is a small spot of darker bluish steel toning between the 8 and second 1 in the date. E-MDS, die state a. The dentils are complete around both sides and the bottom of the C in CENT is clear. An outstanding example of this scarce variety. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 with one other piece in the Bland census. Noyes says MS61 and CC#3, his photo #25191. Our grade is MS63. This cent is plated in the 1944 Newcomb reference to illustrate the variety (Plate II, Obverse 10, Reverse H). 36656.64/25134944 Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau & Co. 5/16/1945:530-Floyd T.
