The Regency Auction 31

详细说明: Newcomb-1. Anyone who has followed our auctions knows that our principals are huge fans of high grade early copper, and they LOVE coins that are Ex Ted Naftzger! This high Condition Census GEM N-1 retains a copious amount of original mint red that accents the otherwise mellowing hues of olive-brown. A wonderful glowing satin luster brings out the high end surface quality that shows only the slightest of microscopic ticks that you need a strong loupe to find. This lovely coin, whose pedigree traces back to Milferd Bolender’s February 1947 auction (lot 687) ranks very high in the various Censuses. Bill Noyes calls it tied for CC#1, while Bob Grellman ranks it CC#2 in the 2009 Naftzger sale. Ted Naftzger purchased this coin from the above mentioned Bolender Auction. Sold in the September 2009 Goldberg’s Auction of the Naftzger Collection, lot 1141, where it was purchased by D. Brent Pogue. Sold in the fifth and final section of the Pogue Collection, March 2017, lot 5221. For the collector of GEM large cents, what a great provenance—Ted Naftzger-Brent Pogue! PCGS 23, NGC 27, CAC 11. This GEM brought a record price for the grade in the Pogue sale, which speaks volumes to the quality of the coin! We expect strong bidding for this beauty again now. A great type coin or for a wonderful set of late date large cents! Cert. Number 32707190 PCGS # 1902
