Lot Description

A gorgeous and high end 1838 large cent. Rich lustrous surfaces show off a stunning array of totally original RED color that surrounds the devices. Well struck and beautifully preserved surfaces show off a soft brown patina. There are a few minor flecks seen on the reverse, but these do not detract. The eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 25, NGC 12, CAC 8. The only CAC approved example sold in March 2011, that coin realized $1,840 (was a 64+ RB). The most recent RB examples sold in June 2017 for $2,115 and $999 (were not CAC). The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,750. A coin with this much red and vibrance should bring a strong bid from the type or date collector. Good luck! Cert.
