Losbeschreibung: Lot 135 1820 Coronet Head Cent.PCGS graded MS-63 Brown.Choice lustrous light bluish steel brown and chocolate with underlying faded mint red showing through in the protected areas. There is a small stain of darker bluish olive toning in the hairbuns and another between the 2 & 0 in the date. Would rate a higher grade if not for a dull, light scrape in the field between stars 5 & 6, and this scrape left a shiny area in the midst of lustrous flowlines. Excellent eye appeal in spite of this minor defect. M-LDS with a clear die crack joining the bust to star 1. Called MS60 net AU55 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #32880.
