^Lot 48 1834 N-7 R7 (Proof-Only) Large 8, Stars, & Letters, PCGS graded PR10

1834 N-7 R7 (Proof-Only) Large 8, Stars, & Letters, PCGS graded PR10Glossy medium brown and light chocolate delicately woodgrained with lighter brown on the reverse. No roughness, just even wear and small contact marks. None of the marks is significant, and nearly all of them are invisible to the unaided eye, but there are quite a few, especially on the obverse. A small, dull nick under the front of the eye and a light horizontal nick right of star 3 can help identify this cent. Only 9 examples of this proof-only variety are known to us, and 3 of those are well worn. This piece is the best of the "well-worn" group. So if you want to avoid paying sports-car-money to obtain the rarest variety in the 1816-1839 cent series, then this is your chance. Our grade is VG10, same as the PCGS grade.Certificate Number: 397584.10/16505774Pedigree: Ex Douglas F. Bird 4/24/2010-Terry S. Denman Collection
