1834 N-3 R1 Large 8, Small Stars, Medium Letters, PCGS graded MS63 BrownBeautiful lustrous light olive brown with overtones of light bluish steel and sea-green. Most of the fields are smooth and reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing. Sharply struck with trivial marks including a tick on the rim at star 2, a couple ticks right of star 2, a few light scratches at the dentil tips from star 3 to star 4, a small spot of slightly darker brown toning under the end of the chin, and a line of tiny ticks at the dentil tips over ITED. Breen called this cent a proof strike, one of five he specifically identified as having been struck for presentation (this is proof strike #5 listed on page 59 in the 1977 Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins 1722-1977). It was struck between the conclusion of the N-4 strikes and the second round of the N-3 strikes (the obverse die is the same for both varieties with N-3 struck first and last). The famous King of Siam proof set that contained an 1804 Dollar was among those five. This cent is beautiful and the strike on the portrait and wreath is needle-sharp, but the proof status of this cent is highly suspect. Stack's called it a proof in their 1954 Judge Sawicki and 1984 Starr sales, but called it a prooflike business strike in their most recent offering in the 2016 Twin Leaf sale. M-LDS, die state b, with a fine die crack at stars 12-13 (same as seen on the certified proof strikes). But regardless of the mint's intentions this is a beautiful cent. Noyes photo #29119.

Perhaps a light brushing to remove natural oxidation spooked the graders on this one. Just a few trivial defects including a small planchet flake just left of the date, a line of microscopic ticks on the truncation over the 83, and a tiny curved planchet void over the right side of the O in ONE.

MDS with fine radial die flowlines in the obverse fields. The line at the bottom of the 835 is clear. Not listed in the Noyes census.

1835 N-7/17 R1 Head of 1836, PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC ApprovedLustrous light to medium brown with traces of mint red in protected areas. Satiny and quite attractive but there are a few microscopic marks. The notable marks are a few very light scratches and abrasions on the cheek and a few more in the field between the mouth and star 2. None of these marks is visible to the unaided eye, and even with a glass you need just the right angle on the light to catch them. LDS, die state b. The earlier lumps on the bottoms of the 1 & 8 are gone, the fields are flowlined, and there are tiny lumps from die rust evident on both sides, clearest in the field around ONE CENT. This is Newcomb's #17. There is a clear double profile on the forehead, nose, lips, and chin with additional doubling on stars 1-5 (from die bounce or "machine doubling).

1835 N-8 R1 Head of 1836, PCGS graded MS64 Red & BrownHighly lustrous and very attractive frosty light bluish steel brown and light olive with faded mint color covering the protected areas on both sides, at least 15% of the surface displaying some shade of faded red. There is a shallow low spot on the neck (caused by debris on the die) and a dull nick or planchet flake just left of the low spot.

1835 N-9 R4 Head of 1834, Large 8 & Stars, PCGS graded MS63 Brown, CAC ApprovedLustrous light olive and steel brown with faded red in protected areas on both sides, especially on the reverse where at least 15% of that side shows some faded red color. A sharp, very attractive cent, but it was chemically cleaned a very long time ago. The toning today looks natural (hence the MS63 assessment by PCGS and the CAC approval). Smooth with just a few trivial marks including two shallow nicks on the jaw and a smaller nick on the front edge of the neck close above the bust. The marks are insignificant and this cent has solid mint state eye appeal, but there is a hint of rub on the very highest points of the devices. EDS, die state a, with an uncracked reverse. Struck with the reverse rotated 45 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Graded MS60 net AU50 and finest known in the Noyes census, his photo #34119. Our grade is AU58. Over the decades this cent has been graded from MS60 to MS70. People can disagree about grades and standards change, but what hasn't changed is the fact that this is clearly the finest known example of a tough die variety.

The die crack from the brow lock up toward star 6 is faint and reaches only up to even with the top of the coronet, and the die crack at UNITED ST is light. In addition, the high grade of this example allows you to see that the E in CENT was first punched upside down, then corrected, with bold remnants of the inverted E clearly visible.

The obverse fields are hard and reflective while the reverse fields are satiny from fine die flowlines. The sharpness is very close to mint state, but there are faint hairlines covering both sides (which only show in the obverse fields thanks to their smooth, prooflike finish).

1838 N-3 R1 PCGS graded MS63 BrownLustrous woodgrained mix of light golden brown and tan mixed with dark bluish steel and olive. The contrast is rather dramatic between the light and dark tones, and the abrupt color changes hurt the eye appeal. The only mark is a planchet flake on the rim just below star 12. M-LDS, die state d late, with the dies well worn and a strong rim cud break at star 12 halfway up to star 11. The upper lump in the so-called colon center dot on the reverse is weak and barely visible. Called MS63 and CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 and tied for CC#7, his photo #20760.

1838 N-4 R2 PCGS graded MS64 BrownFrosty light chocolate and bluish steel brown with traces of faded mint red on both sides. Only trivial marks including a few ticks on the bottom edge of the bust, a few more on the front edge of the neck, and a tiny nick right of the upper lip. A spot of lighter tan toning connecting star 13 to the curl above is a good identifying mark. EDS, die state a, before any die cracks on the obverse. Called MS60 and tied for C#16 in the Noyes census, his photo #35895. Our grade is MS60.

The surfaces are satiny and the only marks are a small spot of darker toning (not carbon) in the field at the middle of the nose and two tiny ticks right of star 5. LDS, die state g, with a cud break from the rim under the 83 reaching up to the base of the 8 but not quite touching the 3. (In the latest state, this cud touches the 3.) Fine die rust covers much of the portrait, especially on the face, leaving a sandpaper texture. A very nice example of this interesting die state.

1838 N-5 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown, CAC ApprovedThe obverse is frosty mint red fading to steel brown with at least 20% of the original mint color remaining. The reverse is a darker shade of light olive and chocolate brown with bluish steel overtones and slightly faded mint red in protected areas. Satiny mint luster covers this cent and the eye appeal is quite nice. A small spot of darker toning at the outer point of star 10 and a very light nick near the hair under star 7 are the only notable marks. E-MDS, die state a, with a sharp spike up to the left from the coronet where it touches the curl. The reverse die clashmarks inside the wreath are clear and a faint die crack connects the E in STATES to the leaf tip below the adjacent T.

1838 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & BrownLustrous medium brown and light chocolate faded down from mint red with mellowed mint color showing through in the fields and protected areas on both sides. About 20% of the planchet displays some shade of mint red. The surfaces are satiny and this cent has excellent eye appeal.

The only marks are a speck of dark toning or dirt over star 12, a couple tiny ticks right of the lower lip, and a few microscopic ticks over star 4. Only the speck is visible to the unaided dye, and it is trivial. M-LDS, die state b late.

1838 N-8 R1 PCGS graded MS64 BrownFrosty light steel brown with a few very faint streaks of slightly darker steel brown on the obverse. Traces of original mint red show on both sides, especially on the reverse where nearly 5% of that side shows some mint color. The surfaces are lustrous and nearly void of marks. A speck of dark toning under the second 8 and a nick on the bottom of the first S in STATES are the best identifying marks, and both are trivial. E-MDS, die state b.

1838 N-9 R3 AU58+Lustrous medium brown and light olive with a couple streaks of slightly darker steel brown at star 7. Sharply struck with very nice eye appeal. Looks mint state but there is a trace of friction on the very highest points of the devices. The only marks are a dull nick on the bust tip and two small planchet flakes in the dentils at the bottom of the reverse (as struck). EDS, state a, with smooth fields and "phantom dentils" on the rim from under the 1 to star 1 and from star 3 to above star 5. Similar "phantom dentils" show on early strikes of the N-6 variety of this year, and what caused them is a mystery. The fields on the obverse are very slightly reflective.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Chris McCawley-Dennis Mendelson, Superior 2/3/1991:555-March Wells, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/7/2000:2046-Terry S.

1838 N-10 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red & BrownLustrous mint red fading to bluish steel and olive brown, at least a third of the faded mint red remaining on both sides. Sharp and satiny with great eye appeal. The only defect worthy of mention is a faint old fingerprint around stars 9-11. EDS with a very light die crack reaching down from the dentils right of the M in AMERICA arcing toward the left side of that M but fading out before reaching it. Your cataloger has never seen an example that did not have at least a trace of this crack, although an uncracked example may exist. The early state of this variety is easily confused with the N-9 variety because you expect to see a more obvious die crack reaching to the M, and when you don't see the crack you default to the N-9 attribution. That must be what happened on this cent, because it was misattributed as N-9 by all the previous owners (including Ted Naftzger), and the error was perpetuated by the census takers William C. Noyes and Del Bland who both list this piece in their condition census for N-9. Noyes calls this piece MS65 and that makes it tied for finest known honors with one other piece in his census for the N-10 variety, his photo #28730. Bland says MS65+, which places this piece as CC#1 in his census for N-10. Our grade is MS64+, close to MS65. A great cent, just a challenge to attribute in this die state.

1838 N-11/13 R5 (as a die state) AU55Lustrous light brown with steel brown highpoints. Fine die flowlines cover the fields on both sides creating attractive cartwheel luster and this cent has excellent eye appeal. Just a hint of friction on the highest points from mint state. The only marks are a half dozen small nicks at S-OF. Terminal die state, state d, with a relatively large cud break at star 1 that extends well inside the dentils nearly to the lower point of star 2. Newcomb called this die state his #13 variety, but we know it is really just a late state of N-11. This is the Newcomb plate coin for the N-13 variety (Plate IX, Obverse 13, Reverse L).

1838 N-12 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Brown, CAC ApprovedHighly lustrous light olive and bluish steel brown with a few faint wisps of slightly darker bluish steel toning on the neck and in the field under the chin. Hints of very faded mint color can be found in protected areas of the reverse. A small puff of dark bluish steel toning at the dentils right of star 11 is the best identifying mark. E-MDS and sharply struck except for weakness on the upper stars. The dentils are crisp around both sides and the doubling on the reverse (from a doubled die, not die bounce) is obvious on the left side of the wreath, especially at the berry and leaf under TE in UNITED. A satiny, really choice cent; a variety that is usually found in later die states with mushy details due to die wear. The PCGS grade and CAC approval attest to the superior eye appeal of this piece.

A small planchet chip just right of the date, another thin one connecting the lower parts of the 3 & 8, and two tiny flakes in the dentils under star 13 (all as struck) are the only notable defects. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is excellent. The usual die state with both dies excessively worn and lapped to reduce roughness prior to use in this short-lived marriage.
