1831 1C Medium Letters, N-2, R.2, MS63 Brown NGC. CAC. Our EAC Grade AU55. The Es in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA are defective and lack their lower left serif. A rim break near star 11 confirms the late die state. Faded red outlines design elements of this otherwise olive-brown cent. No marks or spots are apparent, and the eye appeal exceeds the numerical grade. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2585.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

1831 1C Large Letters, N-1, R.1, MS64 Brown NGC. CAC. Our EAC Grade AU55. The I in LIBERTY is widely repunched, and that feature alone is diagnostic for the variety.

Slight blending of the left-side stars is typical of the variety. Census: 2 in 64 Brown, none finer (8/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2585.00.

1830 1C Medium Letters, N-6, R.4, VG8 NGC. CAC. Our EAC Grade Good 5. The sole 1830 die marriage with Small or Medium letters in the reverse peripheral legend. Since N-6 is both scarce and a Guide Book variety, it commands a substantial premium over the "common" 1830 Large Letters. The present golden-brown example has few marks and minimal granularity. UNITED is partial but the other legends are bold. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $211.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
