Terry Denman Collection of Middle Dates Part 1

THE TERRY DENMAN COLLECTION

LOT 89 1820 N-12 R3 Large Date MS60 . Lustrous light tan and golden steel with subtle overtones of light bluish steel and sea-green. Sharp and very attractive. The only marks are a tiny splash of darker brown toning right of the date and an arc of similar brown toning at the dentils over AM. MDS, die state a late. The fields are lightly flowlined and the lump over star 4 is dull but still visible. A very nice cent for the grade, in the lower half of the condition census for the variety.

 CERTIFIED “RED” N-13

LOT 90 1820 N-13 R1 Large Date, PCGS graded MS64 Red, CAC Approved . Lustrous mellowing mint red, brighter on the obverse than the reverse. There are a few small spots of steel brown toning at stars 10-13 and a trail of microscopic ticks over CENT, but these marks are trivial and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. Nicely struck MDS, die state a late, with a die crack through the date and stars. Much of the inner circle remains visible. The surfaces are satiny and this cent is most likely from the Randall Hoard discovered more than 150 years ago. Noyes photo #35402. Our grade is MS64. 36675.64/13053253
