1839 1C N-11 Booby Head, RB MS66RB 认证号13087627, PCGS号37247

The Year 1839 was a very active one for the Mint's engravers, resulting in no less than three distinctly different styles of the Coronet Cent (and the first Braided Hair Cents). 19th century coin dealer Ebenezer Locke Mason described the distinguishing features of each, including two with rather colorful nicknames of "Silly Head" and "Booby Head." All four portrait styles are present in the collection, including the "Head of 1838" (N-3 Noyes #20596), the "Silly Head" (N-9 Noyes #20945), the "Booby Head" (N-11 Noyes #20819), and the Braided Hair "Head of 1840" (N-8, not in Noyes).
