1812 Classic Head Cent. S-291. Rarity-2. Small Date. EF-45 BN (NGC).
Glossy deep copper surfaces are uncommonly smooth and well defined in a survivor of this conditionally challenged early large cent type. Softness of strike at the borders is anything but unusual in a Classic Head cent, the design elements boldly to sharply rendered in the absence of all but light wear. A few moderate-size marks are noted, including one on the reverse after the word UNITED. A desirable type candidate at the NGC-certified Choice EF level.
PCGS# 1561. NGC ID: 224W.
From the Abernathy Collection. Earlier from our Spring Auction of April 2022, lot 1355.
