The 1823 proof large cent is one of the rarest proofs in the Coronet Head series. The date is already the key to the circulation-strike set, and the proof version exists in even smaller numbers. Surviving proofs are major rarities that appear at auction infrequently. Any offering draws intense specialist interest.
The proof combines the extreme scarcity of the 1823 date with the extreme scarcity of early proof copper. Authentication and grading by a major service are essential requirements for any transaction involving this coin.
