Almost A Gem

An 1837 Large Cent that was graded by PCGS as a MS-64. The variety is medium letters. Light olive brown color with hints of mint red throughout on both sides. Very eye appealing.

I love well struck coins. Dave, that one is a keeper! Absolutely gorgeous!

 

I want to put it in my Dansco but it looks great in its slab, plus it’s graded correctly so I’ll have to find any one for the Dansco. I just unpacked this along with some coins yesterday. Camera day was today so postings to follow this week.

 

Guess that discolorations after the 'Y' & above the bun kept it from getting a higher grade?
Still, Such a great example!
Congrats,

Those spots are part of the mint red that’s still available.

 

wow that is beautiful

 

Thank you

 

CN that's a beaut!!!

 

Thanks, wish it would have made a 65 grade. I’ve been wondering about a green bean on it.

 

I know it is difficult to get a good photo when the coin is in a slab, but better lighting would allow us to see the true beauty of the coin. Just saying.
Thanks for sharing.

 

It was under a floor lamp with 3 lights on. Best I can do.

 

Nice coin. Congratulations. Its coins like that make you want to expand your collection!

 

That is a very nice-looking coin. I agree, leave it in the slab.

 

I plan too for now. I’ll probably never take it out but the bean sounds good.

 

That's a beauty! Looks gem to me.

 

Thanks.

 

@Collecting Nut By all means--send it to CAC.

 

Now I'm craving a Hershey's bar...

 

Super nice large cent, quite the beauty!

 

Yes it is, thank you.
