1861 1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Threepence. Noe 34 AB VF $1,800.00
1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree Threepence. Noe 34 (R-4). 16.1 grains. About Very Fine. Fields are golden...
(R-4). 16.1 grains. About Very Fine. Fields are golden gray with lighter silver highlighting the legends. As is usual with this variety, the obverse is off-center, cutting off the topmost parts of the tree and all but 'THUSE' of the legend. Reverse is well-centered with the 1652 / III standing out boldly the center.
1862 Undated (circa 1667). St. Patrick (Mark Newbie) Farthing. Breen 208 VF $1,600.00
Undated (circa 1667). St. Patrick (Mark Newbie) Farthing. Breen 208. Very Fine. Rich chocolate brown...
Very Fine. Rich chocolate brown surfaces are a trifle darker on the obverse than the reverse. Legends and devices are worn into smoothness, while some trifling graininess in the fields is normal to this issue and should not bother even the most astute collector. Legends are full if a bit weak in areas to due to die and circulation wear. Brass splasher is well centered beneath the obverse...  more
1863 Undated (circa 1667). St. Patrick (Mark Newbie) Farthing F $320.00
Undated (circa 1667). St. Patrick (Mark Newbie) Farthing. Fine, but a hard coin to grade. Left obverse...
Fine, but a hard coin to grade. Left obverse and right reverse exhibit the details of VF, but the right obverse and left reverse are worn nearly smooth and exhibit signs of damage. Huge splasher reaches from rim at 12:00 nearly to center of coin! A couple large verdigris pits are noted on both sides.
1864 Undated (circa 1667). St. Patrick (Mark Newbie) Halfpenny. Vlack 1-A. AB F $1,200.00
Undated (circa 1667). St. Patrick (Mark Newbie) Halfpenny. Vlack 1-A. 124.2 grains. About Fine. Mostly...
124.2 grains. About Fine. Mostly smooth, medium brown surfaces exhibit ever so faint, microscopic granularity on both faces. Rims have begun to wear into the tops of the letters, but all legends and devices are partially to fully visible. Pale yellow brass splasher is in full evidence beneath the crown, and the edge reeding is weak but visible. A nearly imperceptible wave is noted in the planchet....  more
1865 Undated (circa 1694). London Elephant Token. No Diagonals. Dagger in upper left quadrant AG $170.00

About Good. Well-worn to a dark brown, with many toned-over marks on the obverse, planchet striae on the reverse. Although the central reverse is worn smooth, the relative positioning of the legends to the shield allow us to properly classify this charming Elephant Token.
1866 1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Zelinka 2-A. Nelson 4 VF $180.00
1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. Zelinka 2-A. Nelson 4. Very Fine. Light, even brown surfaces are rather...
Very Fine. Light, even brown surfaces are rather attractive for this sometimes wretched looking issue of Irish halfpennies. Strike is about as strong as to be expected for the variety, and the surface quality is quite good as well. Here is an ideal coin for type. PCGS VF20.
1867 1773 Virginia Halfpenny. Period after REX. 8 Harpstrings CH VF $170.00

Choice Very Fine. Dark chestnut brown, minor rim bruises.
1868 French Colonies. 1722-H (Rochelle). Copper Sou or 9 Deniers F $100.00

Fine. Very dark brown, with some old encrustation around 'CO' of COLONIES.
1869 1796 Castorland Medal Restrike UNC $45.00

Silver, 32.4mm, 237 grains. Uncirculated. Mural crowned city goddess. Rev. Goddess Ceres, Great Mother of Fruits watches maple syrup drill, beaver in exergue recalling French settlement in wilds of upper New York State. Platinum gray surfaces offer pleasing reflectivity, some mild hairlines. Even modern-style lettering, struck by Paris Mint, post-1879 edgemark Cornucopia 1 ARGENT.
1870 1796 Castorland Medal Restrike UNC $60.00
1796 Castorland Medal Restrike. Silver, 32.3mm, 226.7 grains. Uncirculated. Types as above, silvery...

1871 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. With New York F $180.00

Normal Lettered Edge. 150.4 grains. Fine. Even dark brown surfaces exhibit very minor, even graininess on both sides. A couple minor obverse circulation scrapes are now long since toned over.

1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. Pointed Rays. Small US. CONSTELLATIO. Crosby 1-A. 133.1 grains. About...
133.1 grains. About Extremely Fine. Here is a rather attractive specimen of this popular if enigmatic United States coin. Surfaces are generally smooth and glossy, with the right third of the obverse covered in a thin burgundy-brown veneer. Well centered and well struck, this specimen is not as fine as Ford's first specimen, but is finer than his second. A small lamination is noted at...  more
1873 1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. Blunt Rays. Small US. CONSTELATIO. Cr.3-C. VF $280.00

110.5 grains. Very Fine. Hard, microscopically granular surfaces are actually quite even and appealing. Fields are dark ebony, devices are lighter olive-brown. A tiny planchet clip is noted below date.
1874 1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. Blunt Rays. Small US. CONSTELATIO. Cr.3-C. AB VF $220.00

119.8 grains. About Very Fine. Deep chestnut surfaces display highlights of blue and pale rose, with two lighter golden brown toning bands on the obverse. Generally smooth and a very collectible survivor of this early coin of the United States under the Articles of Confederation.
1875 1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Pointed Rays. Large US. Cr.3-B. VG $60.00

105.3 grains. Very Good. Surfaces are an attractive deep brown hue and display many ancient, long since toned over marks and scratches.

1876 1785 Landscape type. VERMONTS. Ryder 2 F to VF $300.00
1785 Landscape type. VERMONTS. Ryder 2 (R-3+). 102.1 grains. Fine to Very Fine in the right two-thirds...
(R-3+). 102.1 grains. Fine to Very Fine in the right two-thirds of the coin, while the left one-third is very indistinct as a result of planchet roughness in that area. Right parts of the coin are surprisingly smooth and glossy, featuring a rich chestnut brown hue that one could only hope for on one of these Landscapes. Date is about three-fourths on the coin on this popular Vermont...  more
1877 1785 Landscape type. VERMONTS. R.2 SP $350.00

(R-3+). 102.3 grains. Fine or better. Iridescent yellow, rose and blue tones dominate this specimen that was cleaned long ago and has taken on this palette of colors. Strike is decent and the planchet is missing the major flaws that often plague this issue. Surfaces exhibit some graininess as well as some ancient hairlines. Struck from the later obverse die state with die crack through...  more
1878 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.6 CH VF $725.00
1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.6 (R-3). 111.8 grains. Choice Very Fine, possibly finer in strict...
(R-3). 111.8 grains. Choice Very Fine, possibly finer in strict terms of wear. Dark brown, mildly porous surfaces exhibit some areas of greater planchet flaws at left obverse and right reverse. Salient design details, such as the Green Mountains, date and plow are essentially full and uncompromised by the planchet flaws. Here is wonderful specimen for the collector who desires a nice...  more
1879 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.6 VF / G $240.00

(R-3). A second. 109.0 grains. Very Fine/Good. Surfaces range from porous to very porous, with most of the salient obverse details full and clear. The reverse, on the other hand, is extremely porous, wiping out most rays surrounding the all-seeing eye.
1880 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.6 EF $200.00

(R-3). A third. 111.2 grains. Very Fine, and probably Extremely Fine or better in terms of wear. Surfaces, however, are uniformly extremely porous. Date is complete, legends and devices vary in the extent that they are affected by the surface roughness.
1881 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.7 AB VF $500.00
1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.7 (R-4). About Very Fine. 108.2 grains. Deep maroon-brown, grainy...
(R-4). About Very Fine. 108.2 grains. Deep maroon-brown, grainy fields surround lighter wheat-brown devices. Three planchet flaws are fairly minor relative to the sometimes severe flaws seen on this type. Unlike many other specimens of this landscape type, however, the Green Mountain scene is essentially complete. A glass reveals ancient fine scratches on obverse devices.
1882 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.7 F to VF $300.00

(R-4). Fine to Very Fine. Fields are uniformly granular, dark brown hue, while the legends and devices are worn into a lighter brown smoothness. Some post-striking damage has somewhat obscured or flattened certain design elements in addition to bruising the edge in two locations. A tiny rim clip is noted at 1:00 on obverse.
1883 1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.8 F $380.00
1786 Landscape type. VERMONTENSIUM. R.8 (R-4). 109.9 grains. Fine. Surfaces range from smooth to mildly...
(R-4). 109.9 grains. Fine. Surfaces range from smooth to mildly granular, with nearly all design elements visible or at least well-outlined, which is a rarity for this notoriously poorly made Vermont type. Date is full and on flan, plow is a bit indistinct, while mountains, trees and sun are all clearly visible. A pronounced planchet cutter lip is noted from 2:00 to 7:00 on obverse.
1884 1786 Baby Head type. R.9 SP $500.00
1786 Baby Head type. R.9 (R-4). 129.3 grains. Fine. Dark olive-brown surfaces range from perfectly...
(R-4). 129.3 grains. Fine. Dark olive-brown surfaces range from perfectly smooth to porous, some old pitting at central reverse being the most eye-catching. The devices and legends that are so distinct for Ryder 9 are essentially complete, with just a hint of weakness at 'CTO' of AUCTORI on obverse. Although this specimen exhibits a pair of rather pronounced edge bruises, the general...  more
1885 1786 Baby Head type. R.9 VG $200.00

(R-4). A second. 127.0 grains. Very Good or better in terms of wear. Surfaces are uniformly very porous, with most legends faint or missing, while INDE is boldly visible. Reverse is a trifle off-center, leaving only the tops of the '78' in the date visible. Here is a good hole filler for this popular type and die variety of the Vermont series. Dies rotated about 90 degrees from coin...  more
1886 1786 Mailed Bust Left. R.10 PR $700.00
1786 Mailed Bust Left. R.10 (R-4). 108.7 grains. Fine or better. Planchet quality is average or a...
(R-4). 108.7 grains. Fine or better. Planchet quality is average or a bit better for this variety that comes on notoriously poor quality planchet stock, with some minor flaws noted at central obverse and reverse. Fields are relatively smooth, central devices exhibit very little definition, as is normal for the issue. Rims are tight to the tops of AUCTORI, bottom of bust, date and ET...  more
1887 1787 Mailed Bust Right. Britannia variety. R.13 VF $250.00

101.7 grains. Very Fine. Exquisite chocolate brown tones define this uniformly porous specimen that is about average in terms of surface quality for the variety. Struck from the later state of the obverse die featuring a die break at point of bust.
1888 1787 Mailed Bust Right. R.14 F $100.00

(R-4). 111.5 grains. Fine or better in terms of wear. Well-centered but exhibiting many fine hairlines that are probably the result of an attempt to remove some red verdigris.
1889 1787 Mailed Bust Right. R.14 VG $60.00

(R-4). A second. 121.5 grains. Very Good. Generally smooth, tan to light brown surfaces are the rule on this specimen of a relatively available Vermont variety. A slight wave to the planchet and a few small reverse hits are noted for completeness of description.
1890 1787 Mailed Bust Right. R.14 VG $60.00

(R-4). A third. 102.4 grains. Very Good or better in terms of wear, but surfaces are very granular with some ancient, toned over surface scratches.
