1813 Classic Head Cent. S-292, B-2. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.

Pleasing Choice AU 1813 Cent Sheldon-292 1813 Classic Head Cent. S-292, B-2. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Breen Die State V. Deep walnut and olive-brown patina with a slightly glossy appearance. The obverse is struck off center to the 5 o'clock position, not unusual for the date or variety, with the border at lower right engaging the date digits and stars 12 and 13. Reverse better centered, both sides with peripheral softness due to advanced die fatigue. The central devices are boldly defined for the die state and grade, surfaces nicely composed with no marks or other blemishes of note. The 1813 Classic Head has always been considered a semi-key date, perhaps not comparable to the 1799, 1804, or 1793, but certainly among the more challenging cents to find for a date collector. As with some of the other Classic Head dates, condition sensitivity and planchet issues are also a concern for 1813. Breen speculates that some of the planchets used for the 1813 S-292 and S-293 varieties may have been damaged by bilge water and/or salt spray during transit from England to America. If so, the casks containing the planchets eventually used for the 1812 and 1814 issues - all of which were in the same shipment from Boulton - were not affected to the same degree since they are seen less frequently than the 1813 with pitted or similarly impaired surfaces. The offered example, with coveted CAC endorsement at the PCGS AU-58 grade level - is a pleasant exception to the trend of flawed examples of the date. It is worthy of a premium bid. CAC Stickered Population (both die marriages of the issue): 11 in all AU grades. PCGS# 1570. NGC ID: 224X. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
