Lot Description

1811 Classic Head Cent. S-287. Rarity-2. VF-30 (PCGS). Inviting medium copper-brown patina blankets both sides in an even manner. The obverse is trivially off center to 3 o'clock, the reverse to the upper right, but only isolated portions of the denticulation are affected by incomplete striking detail. The major design elements are suitably bold for the assigned grade and with no marks or other blemishes of note, this is an inviting mid grade example of a conditionally challenging large cent design type. Provenance: From the William L. Buxton Collection. PCGS# 36496. NGC ID: 224U. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
