1838 N-3 Coronet Large Cent PCGS MS63BN Naftzger-Denman Tiger Stripe R1

1838 N-3 Coronet Large Cent PCGS MS63BN Naftzger-Denman Tiger Stripe R1.  WOW!  So you will either love this coin or hate it: I LOVE IT!  One of the most interesting and attractive color coins I have ever offered.  I call this coin the Tiger Stripe because of the incredibly lustrous and interesting brown and gold stripes.  There are some additional colors mixed in too, more so on the reverse, and the coin has real pop in person.  I purchased this coin from the EAC 2026 Charlotte auction, and the underbidder was another dealer that also loved the coin and had handled it before.  I think the photos speak for themselves, although I can confirm that the coin is certainly more lustrous and attractive in hand than I can capture in my photos.  Ted Naftzger and Terry Denman thought this one was pretty darn special too since it was part of their collections, and their pedigree is listed on the PCGS label as "Naftzger-Denman."  PCGS certification# 37186.63/13085024.
