- This fully original, aesthetically pleasing Gem is awash in steely-copper patina with traces of original faded mint-orange color hugging some of the design elements. Sharply defined in virtually all areas with a smooth, hard, frosty texture. Newcomb-13 is a popular die variety that has survived in large numbers due to its representation in the famous Randall Hoard of Mint State 1818 to 1820 large cents, that came to light circa 1869. The Randall Hoard coins entered numismatic channels, and have been esteemed by collectors ever since. Walter Breen in his <em>Complete Encyclopedia</em> describes the variety as mostly "EF to spotty red Unc." For the assigned grade, this is one of the nicer examples we have handled in recent sales and is highly recommended for inclusion in a Mint State type set.
