Design: Obv: A head of Liberty faces left with 13 stars around the border and the date 1843 below. She is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, her hair tied into a bun at the back of her head by a beaded cord. Rev: A circular wreath encloses the denomination ONE CENT with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border. Weight Standard: 10.89 grams. Diameter: 27.5 mm. Die Variety: Newcomb-6. Obv: Mature Head. The digits 18 in the date are repunched, most noticeably at the base. The 1843 N-6 represents the only use of this obverse die. Rev: Large Letters in the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. There are fine die spurs to the right on the letters E and N in ONE. The 1843 N-6 also represents the only use of this reverse die. N-5, N-6, N-16 and N-17 correspond to the Mature Head, Large Letters Guide Bookvariety of the 1843 Braided Hair cent. Die State: Grellman b, Noyes C/B. Obv: Repunching at the digits 18 is bold, and there is a cud break on the rim outside star 13.

Mintage for the Issue: 2,425,342 coins. Estimated Surviving Population for the Die Variety: Rarity-1: More than 1,500 coins in all grades. Strike: Both sides are smartly impressed with broad rims and full, uniformly denticulated borders. All design elements are sharply to fully rendered, including the stars on the obverse, which have complete radial lines. Surfaces: This wonderfully original example retains plenty of warm rose-orange mint color. Light to moderate toning in lilac and gray-brown is seen on surfaces that are overall smooth with no detracting marks or significant carbon flecks. A thin streak of pale gold color in the left obverse field and associated spot of similar toning tucked in close under star 3 should serve as useful identifiers in establishing this coin's provenance. Commentary: A strong contender for Condition Census standing among 1843 Newcomb-6 cents, this lovely PCGS-certified Gem would do equally well in an advanced die variety collection or Guide Bookvariety set. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population (all die marriages of the Mature Head, Large Letters variety): 5; 0 finer in this category. There are no RD examples of the Mature Head, Large Letters variety known to PCGS. PCGS# 1851. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
