November 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1810 Classic Head Cent. S-282. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. An uncommonly well preserved example of this conditionally challenging Classic Head large cent. Both sides are satiny in texture with an overall hard, tight appearance. Pleasantly toned in dominant autumn-brown, a few swirls of rose-russet are scattered about over the left half of the obverse, on the reverse at the base of the wreath, the letter N in UNITED and the first S in STATES. The obverse is well centered, the reverse drawn trivially to the upper right with the denticulation absent from 12 to 3 o'clock. Star 1 to 7 on the obverse are soft, but otherwise we note bold to sharp detail to the major design elements. This coin is tied for CC#13 in the 2015 Noyes census (United States Large Cents: 1802-1814), and it sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced type or variety set. Noyes Die State B/B. Provenance: From Superior's Wes Rasmussen Collection sale, February 1998, lot 1049; Tom Reynolds/Doug Bird. PCGS# 1549. NGC ID: 224S.
