Terry Denman Collection of Middle Dates Part 1

EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 94 1821 N-2 R1 PCGS graded AU53 . Glossy light olive and chocolate brown with lots of underlying lighter brown toning in the protected areas, especially on the obverse. Subtle overtones of light bluish steel cover this cent and the eye appeal is quite nice. No notable defects, only very light wear on the devices and a few microscopic ticks scattered over both sides, none notable. Sharply struck EDS, die state a. The fields are hard and reflective on both sides and the die line from the bust tip is bold. Called EF45 in the Noyes census, his photo #36212. Our grade is EF45 as well. A premium example of a date that is difficult to find in high grade. And it comes with an impressive provenance. 36709.53/25135953 Ex New Netherlands Coin Co. #59, 6/1967:1263-R.

LOT 95 1821 N-2 R1 NGC graded MS63 Brown . Light bluish steel brown with subtle hints of iridescent rose in the fields. The fields on both sides are smooth and highly reflective, and the eye appeal of this cent is superb. Unfortunately there is a dark stain on the cheek where it appears something rested against the obverse long enough to adversely affect the microscopic texture of the highest points of the portrait. The stain catches your eye immediately and is a big distraction on an otherwise gem cent. MDS, die state c early, and struck with freshly polished dies. The die line from the bust tip is gone but there is no crumbling in the dentils at stars 6-7. Called proof in the Bland census. Noyes says net AU50, his photo #35424. We are reluctant to say this is a proof example of the variety, and the die state supports a non-proof assessment, but the look of this cent certainly leads you in that direction. Our grade is MS60 . 2038628-041
