1841 1C Newcomb 7, RB MS (PCGS#405810)

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

Description du lot: 1841 Braided Hair Cent. N-7. Rarity-2. MS-63 RB (PCGS). CAC. A frosty, nearly full Red example with only the lightest steel-brown iridescence on the high points and in the open field areas. Both sides are well struck given the late die state (Noyes C/B), the central devices boldly to sharply defined. There is no detracting carbon, although numerous wispy marks are present to preclude a higher grade. Noyes grades this piece EAC MS-63 and ranks it CC#2 for the variety; Grellman calls it EAC AU-58, not in the Condition Census for the die pairing, but tied for CC#1 for this scarce late die state. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex M.H. Bolender's sale of November 1938, lot 303; Willard C. Blaisdell date set, September 1976, via Del Bland; Ira & Larry Goldberg's sale of the "Ted" Naftzger, Jr. Collection, Part III, September 2009, lot 632. PCGS# 405810. NGC ID: 2267.
