Lot Title: 1839 Booby Head (N-11). PCGS MS-64BN.
Description: Popularity from inclusion in the Redbook combines with an early die-state of N-11 to provide a "booby head" large-cent of considerable appeal. Completely toned in handsome russet-brown patina, the fields are nonetheless filled with flowline luster and exhibit the very slightest hint of sapphire-blue iridescence. Several tiny oblong ticks are scattered across each side, and the fussiest early copper collectors will complain about the mildest brush with cabinet friction on the highpoints, but the commercial MS-64 BN grade seems adequate. EAC 55+ at minimum.
Low Estimate: $1,200.00
