August 2018 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Philadelphia, PA

Lot Description: 1811 Classic Head Cent. S-287. Rarity-2. VF-25 (PCGS). This is an uncommonly smooth and problem-free coin in a mid-grade example of the conditionally challenging Classic Head large cent. Richly toned in a blend of charcoal-copper and rose-brown, both sides are nicely defined overall from a strike that is only trivially off center to the upper right obverse and upper reverse. Sheldon-287 is the normal date die marriage of the 1811 issue, the present example equally well suited for circulated type purposes or inclusion in an early copper variety set. PCGS# 1555.
