1837 N-8/7 R1 EF40. EF-40. Glossy medium brown with bluish olive toning in protected areas. A very fine hairline over star 9 and a thin nick over O in ONE are the notable marks. Sharply struck EDS, Newcomb's #8, with strong die lines over ERI. (Note: Frank Andrews considered the obverse dies for #7 and #8 to be different but the reverse dies the same. Later, Howard Newcomb determined that both the obverse and reverse dies were the same, but he continued using both the A-7/N-7 and A-8/N-8 designations for the variety depending on the die state. Early strikes conform to their descriptions for A-8/ N-8 and the later strikes are their A-7/N-7. John Wright and Bob Grellman agree with Newcombs assessment concerning the dies. The continuation of using both numbers is, of course, arbitrary, but, the "story" contributes to the enjoyment of collecting Large Cents.) DWH #1627. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Chuck Funk 1981-Dick Punchard. Categories:
