Lot Description

1810/09 Classic Head Cent. S-281. Rarity-1. MS-61 BN (NGC). This is a deep espresso brown example with traces of peach coloration surrounding the design elements on the reverse. The dies are heavily fatigued, with very limited denticles present and most devices pulled to the rim. Even so, the luster remains pleasant and comprehensive, offering a soft cartwheel at a tilt. A few minor marks are visible across the obverse under inspection, though they are largely integrated into the overall aesthetic. This is the only example certified at the current grade by NGC and just 3 rank finer in this category. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. NGC Census: 1; 3 finer in this category. PCGS# 36469. NGC ID: 224T. Click here for certification details from NGC.
