Owner's Comments

N-13, R.1 Notice the dark and deep copper toning on this attractive, large date variety. I have read that a mottled appearance is commonplace on coins attributed to the now famous Randall Hoard. As the story is told, maybe as many as ten thousand uncirculated coronet cents were buried in a small wooden keg, perhaps decades before the Civil War, discovered only after the war. With this, I am attempting to compile a run of Randall Hoard dates, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, and 1820 - all in PCGS Generation-1 rattler holders. According to Q. David Bowers' chapter on the subject, the most frequently encountered examples attributed to the hoard were dated 1818, (N-10) and 1820, (N-13). The population report supports that claim.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity by Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
