Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1891 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.16 VG $90.00 103.1 grains. Very Good or a bit better. Attractive light brown devices are framed by deeper chestnut brown fields on this example of a ubiquitous Vermont variety. Ancient light scratches are noted at neck, date is a bit indistinct, and there is some ''parched riverbed'' type planchet roughness on the reverse. 1892 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.20 F $150.00 (R-4). 126.9 grains. Fine or better. Surfaces exhibit some tics and scratches associated with circulation and are uniformly microgranular, with some larger pits or planchet flaws in evidence on both faces. Well centered, with an essentially full date. Although available, Ryder 20 is a less frequently seen than varieties like Ryder 12 and 14. 1893 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.20 AB F $100.00 (R-4). A second. 106.8 grains. About Fine. Two-tone surfaces exhibit light brown devices and rich chestnut brown, microgranular fields. Pie-shaped planchet flaw is noted at lower left obverse, as is some verdigris at lower obverse. 1894 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.20 VG $60.00 (R-4). A third. 120.8 grains. Very Good. Apple green patination covers uniformly very granular, dark brown surfaces. 1895 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.21 VG $180.00 (R-4+/R-5-). 120.0 grains. Very Good. Surfaces are dark ruddy brown and a bit grainy, with a more severe patch of granularity at the central and upper reverse. Date is not visible, but the worn outline of the diagnostic reverse die break is well-defined. Here is an affordable specimen of this Vermont scarcity. 1896 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.22 F $500.00 (R-4+/R-5-). 122.0 grains. Fine. Medium to dark brown surfaces also exhibit a hint of ruddy brown in the reverse fields. The low relief of the reverse devices has allowed for the preservation of abundant detail, such as the lines in the shield. Both obverse and reverse faces exhibit minor granularity, with an ancient small scratch in obverse figure's head. 1897 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.23 VG $90.00 (R-4). 96.8 grains. Very Good. Advanced wear has lent this trouble-free specimen a distinct two-tone appearance featuring light brown devices, dark brown fields. 1898 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.24 F $280.00 (R-4). 98.3 grains. Fine or better. Dark brown and quite granular, this thin planchet example is struck from an advanced state of the obverse die exhibiting a die crack through the 'N' of VERMON. 1899 1788 Mailed Bust Right.

Generally smooth, light to medium brown surfaces exhibit the light tics associated with regular circulation wear. 1900 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.25 CH F $300.00 (R-3+). 106.9 grains. Choice Fine. Early die states, the usually thick die break on obverse bust is just a thin crack. Rather attractive for this issue, the fields exhibiting only trivial graininess. A few minor verdigris pits should be noted, but they do not detract from this coin's overall high appeal. 1901 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.25 F $75.00 (R-3+). A second. 103.0 grains. Fine and probably better in terms of wear. Deep emerald green and brown fields and some verdigris pits are evidence of possible burial. 1902 1788 Mailed Bust Right. R.25 VG $200.00 (R-3+). A third. 123.5 grains. Very Good. Dark ruddy brown surfaces are quite grainy on this large planchet specimen.

Very Good. Dark brown surfaces are uniformly very granular. 1904 1788 Mailed Bust Right. INDE*ET LIB* variety. R.27 F $500.00 (R-4). 114.7 grains. Fine.

Very Fine in terms of wear. Surfaces are dark and granular but show abundantly detailed design motifs. Categories  •  Coin Galleries December 2004 → United States Coins → U. S.
