It is not often a major Red Book variety that is ONE OF THE FINEST GRADED at PCGS crosses your path, but here it is! In fact, there are only 4 pieces that grade finer in the PCGS condition census, an AU-58; MS-60 BN; MS-62 BN and MS-63 BN. What makes this coin so desirable? The INCREDIBLE PLANCHET COLOR! Anyone who knows early copper knows it is all about surface color. Faint wisps of mint red and luster can be seen around the design elements and lettering when twirled in the light. Wisps of gold tone serve only to accent the glossy, warm brown fields, offering the viewer an alluring backdrop that complements fully with the keenly defined motifs. An old time scratch is noted on the reverse near the central lettering for the sake of accuracy, but does not deter from the overall rarity, desirability and eye appeal of the coin. A prized rarity for those who love engraving anomalies and errors, as well as for the large cent collector needing this exceedingly scarce issue. The three distinctive miscues on this piece are the error in the fraction which is written as 1/000 instead of the correct 1/100. Second the U punch must have been missing in action or broken the day this die was engraved. Nonetheless, the final outcome was the same. The U in UNITED appears as IINTED instead. The third and final error is the missing stem on the wreath. Where there should be two stems the left one was never included. The 3 errors reverse was matched to two different obverse dies. The S-218 is exceedingly rare, and this variety, the S-219 is considered the more “common" of the two. We use this term loosely, as clearly the S-219 is no slouch in it’s own rarity! Many die cracks and clash marks are noted on this variety as it is the later usage of the reverse die. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. This coin appeared at auction in January 2020 where it sold for $40,800. Destined for a World Class Collection. We expect this coin will fetch a strong price when it crosses the block! Cert. Number 35793970 PCGS # 1461.00
