Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1810 Classic Head Cent. S-284. Rarity-3. AU-58 (PCGS). An attractive and significant example of the scarcest die pairing of the 1810-dated large cent issue. Attractively toned in dominant medium brown, both sides exhibit intermingled golden-orange that represents faded mint color. Surface texture is smooth and satiny, the coin uncommonly free of distracting blemishes in a survivor of this challenging large cent type. This piece, with an impressive provenance to our (Bowers and Ruddy's) November 1979 Garrett I Sale, is tied for CC#11 for the Sheldon-285 dies in the 2015 reference United States Large Cents: 1802-1814by William C. Noyes. The author assigns an EAC grade of "XF45(AU50) Ave Plus." Provenance: Ex our (Bowers and Ruddy's) sale of the Garrett Collection for the Johns Hopkins University, Part I, November 1979, lot 122; Doug Bird, August 17, 2002; Terry Denman. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. PCGS# 1549. NGC ID: 224S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
