Lot Description

1812 Classic Head Cent. S-288. Rarity-2. Large Date. VF-35 (PCGS). Quite an attractive coin with natural, problem-free chocolate-brown surfaces, tan undertones, and a surprising amount of frosty flowline luster in the fields. There are just a grade-consistent amount of tiny marks from circulation on each side and a single spot above the base of the wreath bow. An appealing Choice Very Fine example of the type. Provenance: Ex Shawn Yancey (Early Copper Coins), May 2012; Lou Alfonso. PCGS# 1564. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
