1827 1C Newcomb 11, RB MS64+ RB Certification #25508152, PCGS #36869

Ron Guth

Newcomb 11 is the most common of the 1827 Large Cent varieties.  John Wright, author of The Cent Book 1816-1839, wrote in 1992, "Number 11 accounts for nearly half of all 1827 cents and never commands a premium." 

The obverse of this variety was used on Newcomb 10 and 11; the reverse was only used on Newcomb 11.  The right foot of the T in CENT is strongly doubled, apparently diagnostic for the variety.

Mint State examples are mostly Brown in color; Red-Brown examples are very rare; and Red examples may be non-existent. 

The finest Red-Brown 1827 N-11 certified by PCGS is a single MS65RB example.
