Large Cents
1839 1C Petite Head of 1840, N-8, R.1, MS64 Brown PCGS. CAC. N-8 is the sole 1839-dated Petite Head variety. Type collectors who seek first-year of issue coins add demand for the variety, vying with date and variety collectors for this Choice Mint State example. The present near-Gem is predominantly chocolate-brown, though blushes of deeper toning appear on the reverse, particularly near the CA in AMERICA. The strike is crisp except for a few stars. Contact is limited to a pair of tiny ticks on the obverse field. Population: 24 in 64 Brown, 7 finer (8/24).
