Collector appeal and condition highlights
This 1838 N-10 cent is a premium Mint State survivor with a coveted “plus” grade, signaling quality at the top end of its numeric level. The brown designation indicates rich, original copper color, typically seen as warm chocolate and chestnut tones, often complemented by subtle darker and lighter highlights that emphasize the design. For collectors of early copper, originality and surface quality are everything, and this piece is confirmed by CAC approval, underscoring its status as a high-end example for the grade.
Historical significance
Struck in Philadelphia during a period of rapid national expansion, the Coronet Head cent series is an enduring cornerstone of U.S. large cent collecting. These coins circulated heavily in daily commerce, making truly choice Mint State pieces especially elusive. The Newcomb attribution adds another layer of interest, appealing to specialists who pursue die varieties and die states within the classic large cent series.
