CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

The 1849 Large Cent is one of the more reasonably common dates of the series. It is probably one of the easiest of all the 1840 date range as a date alone Oddly, the 1849 does not often survive in grades above AU58. Gems are excessively scarce and due to the this issue the market tightens around the MS64 level. This specimen is a delight to behold. The surfaces (although marked from bag storage) are beaming with sweeping carthweel luster and shimmering light blue tone, over faded red accents. Although the scraggly surfaces (visible significantly more under a glass) keep the coin from the lofty gem designation. However, the luster is heavily above the normal amount for these coins. The eye appeal apparent is normally seen in the MS66-67 range. Newcomb 20 CAC Approved

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.

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.
