Lot Description

Noyes Die State C/B. The 1824-dated dies account for the majority of the 1,262,000 cents that the Mint reported for calendar year 1824, with the remainder an unknown quantity of the key 1823-dated issue. The 1824 is a semi-key date among middle date large cents, especially the 1824/2 <em>Guide Book</em> listing, which comprises the Newcomb-1 and N-5 die pairings. The Widmer Family specimen is a lightly circulated survivor of the former variety. Both sides are richly toned in original chestnut brown and steely olive-copper. Small, shallow strike throughs in the lower left obverse field and above the letter C in CENT on the reverse are as made; there are no handling marks or other post-production blemishes of note. Boldly defined, visually appealing, and sure to catch the eye of discerning large cent collectors.
