1837 N-11 R1 Beaded Hair Cord PCGS graded MS65
Brown,
CAC APPROVED
. Choice lustrous medium brown and
light olive with attractive overtones of sea-green and light bluish
steel, especially on the reverse. Peeps of faded mint color can
be found on both sides. Sharply struck with excellent eye
appeal. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a couple tiny
specks of darker toning between star 1 and the throat and a
very small rim nick at star 5. MDS. The repunching on the 1 is
clearly visible left of that digit but the dash right of the base is
gone, and the repunching on stars 9-11 is sharp. The always-
present die cracks on the reverse (that die cracked during the
earlier N-9 marriage) are light but clearly visible. A beautiful
cent.
Our grade is MS63.

1837 N-13 R2 Plain Hair Cord, Medium Letters AU58
.
Lustrous medium steel brown with hints of bluish steel overtone
and a couple tiny peeps of faded mint red on the reverse. Just a
hint of rub on the highest points from mint state. A couple faint
scratches at the bust tip, otherwise essentially flawless. MDS.
There are fine die flowlines on both sides but the repunching on
the N in UNITED remains clear.
Removed from an NGC slab
graded MS62BN
(NGC label #1778710-011 included, and it
shows the attribution and Ron Adam provenance).

1838 N-9 R3 EF45+
. Glossy medium chocolate brown and
olive. Very attractive for the grade, very close to AU50. The only
marks are a small spot of slightly lighter toning between star 3
and the dentils and a barely visible rim bruise off the tip of the
wreath ribbon. LDS with a strong rim cud from right of the top
of star 11 clockwise to just beyond the left edge of the date. A
nice example of a neat die state.

1838 N-14 R7- (as a die state) G5
. Choice glossy
medium brown and light chocolate. The surfaces are
smooth and the only marks are a tiny, barely visible rim
bruise under the first 8 in the date and another at UN in
UNITED. Essentially just worn without being abused in any
way. Extremely rare TDS with a large cud break connecting
stars 5 & 6 to the rim.

1839/6 N-1 R3+ Overdate 9 over 6 NGC graded
VF35
. Glossy dark steel and olive brown. An attractive cent
but here is a bit of very fine roughness on the neck mixed
with a couple faint vertical planchet striations in that area.
Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and the only marks are
a dull, light nick in the center of the neck and a sharp verti-
cal nick in the field close over the tip of the nose. E-MDS
with a dull wave in the field from the dentils over star 3 to
the nose but no die crack. No quite perfect but the eye
appeal is excellent and the overdate is obvious.
Our grade
is VF20.
The attribution is shown on the NGC label. A nice
example of this very popular "Redbook" variety.
Estimated Value .............................................. $5,000-UP
