详细说明: 1811 Classic Head Cent. S-287. Rarity-2. AU-55 (PCGS). This glossy and original example exhibits blushes of steely-copper to a base of warmer golden-brown patina. The strike is a bit tight to 3 o'clock with no denticulation evident along the right obverse and reverse borders. Otherwise we note suitably bold Choice AU detail throughout, much of Liberty's hair and most leaves in the wreath sharp. Smooth in hand with a pleasant appearance. There are only two known die marriages of the 1811 cent, and they are easily distinguished because one is an overdate and the other a "perfect" date. Sheldon-287 is the "perfect" date, also identifiable by a prominent die scratch in the left obverse field from star 5 toward Liberty's nose. Both varieties also employ different reverse dies, that used to strike S-287 without a defect in the field under the letter E in ONE and with the tip of the uppermost leaf in the wreath just past the final letter S in STATES. The Classic Head cent is a conditionally challenging type as a whole, Choice AU survivors such as this scarce irrespective of date or die pairing. Sure to see spirited bidding among quality conscious type collectors or early copper enthusiasts. Noyes Die State C/B. PCGS# 1555. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
