Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 5113 1662 Massachusetts Oak Tree twopence. Noe-29. Rarity-6+. AU-53 (PCGS) (see below) $4,400.00 An especially well-detailed specimen of this important denomination, the only 1662-dated issue in the Massachusetts silver series and the lowest valued piece struck by the Boston Mint. Light silver gray surfaces show faint granularity throughout, perhaps the result of a ground find, but not enough to prevent PCGS from assigning a grade. There is clearly very little wear, indeed, some...  more 5114 1722 Woods Hibernia halfpenny. B-146, N-4. AU-55 (see below) $875.00 117.8 grains. Probably Uncirculated in a technical sense. Pleasing even light brown with glossy surfaces, showing lovely preservation and good eye appeal. Some lustre remains, perhaps best revealed by a light brushing. A fascinating coin to study and an unusual piece within this popular series. The planchet was produced imperfectly and shows some flaws on the edge (not the rim, an important...  more 5115 1773 Virginia halfpenny. Period after Georgivs. N-20.X, B-181. MS-63 (see below) $1,200.00 123.6 grains. About half of the mint color remains on the obverse while the reverse shows more complete color, somewhat faded at the left rim. A bit of reflective lustre remains on the reverse. Some flyspecks and toning streaks are noted, but the visual appeal remains excellent. In many ways, a typical survivor from the 1930s marketplace—which is to say, much nicer than most around today....  more 5116 1773 Virginia halfpenny. Period after Georgivs. N-24.K, B-180. MS-63 (see below) $1,300.00 120.8 grains. Vast amounts of original mint color, about half on the obverse and nearly complete on the reverse, remain on slightly reflective surfaces. Decades ago, this is what a "typical" survivor from the Mendes Cohen hoard of Virginia halfpence looked like—but the environment and the marketplace have conspired to change the appearance of the majority of those that survived. There...  more 5117 1773 Virginia halfpenny. Period after Georgivs. N-25.M, B-180. MS-63 (see below) $1,500.00 121.7 grains. Another choice specimen from the Cohen Hoard. On the obverse, abundant mint color frames protected areas, covering more than a quarter of the surface area, while the reverse maintains nearly full mint red, barely mellowed near the rims. Slightly reflective and showing lively lustre in the red areas, this piece retains excellent and above average visual appeal. Only a few...  more 5118 1773 Virginia halfpenny. Period after Georgivs. N-26.Y, B-180. MS-63 (see below) $1,250.00 117.7 grains. Another lovely specimen. Though more brown that the previous two specimens, with red adhering just to the outlines of devices and legends on the obverse and covering perhaps three-quarters of the reverse, this piece is perhaps still more eye appealing, with fewer than the standard number of kegmarks and an excellent overall look. A tiny discoloration is present at the base...  more 5119 1776 Continental Currency dollar. Newman 1-C. Rarity-3. CURENCY. Pewter. EF-45 (see below) $26,000.00 (PCGS). Die alignment about 45º, WE on reverse points to 7:30 when the coin is turned on its horizontal axis. Bright silver gray surfaces support slate gray devices, offering a delightful monochromatic cameo appearance as a result. Some scattered marks are present, chief among them an old, small obverse scrape between the rings below the L of CONTINENTAL, many other tiny marks can be...  more 5120 1787 Immunis Columbia copper. Breen-1137. EF-40 (PCGS) (see below) $4,100.00 Lovely chocolate brown, even and appealing, with light roughness scattered on both obverse and reverse. A sharp example of this popular type, with an essentially full date on the narrow planchet and bold detail throughout. A bit too plentiful to be considered a Confederation-era pattern, the Immunis Columbia coppers were likely one of many privately issued types which competed for space...  more 5121 1788 Massachusetts cent. R-2B. Rarity-4. EF-40 (see below) $750.00 155.9 grains. Attractive medium brown with olive undertones on finely granular surfaces. A linear planchet flaw descends from near 3:00 to near 6:00 on reverse, tiny rim nick left of date, scratch from wingtip to second T of MASSACHUSETTS, another short scratch below arrows, very tiny rim nicks over first M and W of COMMONWEALTH. An appealing, lightly circulated piece, attractive in...  more 5122 1788 Massachusetts cent. R-10.L. Rarity-2. EF-45 (see below) $700.00 - but granular. A very sharp specimen of the type. Fairly even deep steel brown, finely granular on the obverse and somewhat more granular on the reverse, particularly at the peripheries. A rim bruise is noted over SA of MASSACHUSETTS, some other more minor rim flaws and tiny surface scrapes, reasonably attractive overall. The detail in the Indian's face and hair is far sharper than usually...  more 5123 1788 Massachusetts cent. R-10.L. Rarity-2. AU-50 (see below) $900.00 Another very sharp specimen, showing excellent definition in the figure of the Indian and the reverse eagle. Attractive light olive-brown, lightly granular under a glass, toning spot at arrow butt below EA of WEALTH on obverse, another spot partially removed from before the Indian's profile, a few other lesser scattered specks here and there. A series of shallow scratches is present...  more 5124 1787 New Jersey copper. M-6.D. Rarity-2. EF-40 (see below) $1,400.00 146.6 grains. Glossy medium brown with smooth and attractive surfaces. Scattered tiny marks, mostly at centers, pre-existed striking and were not completely obliterated in the coining chamber, though a small batch of marks above the star after E in the reverse motto are minor post-striking contact points. Some darker toning is present beneath the plow hands, a few scattered spots but...  more 5125 1794 Copper Company of Upper Canada token. Copper. Breen-1077. Proof-63 (see below) $5,500.00 201.0 grains. Original striking with round Os. Rich chocolate brown surfaces show excellent reflectivity and the fruits of very nice preservation. Some lighter brown and olive highlights are present, typical well-detailed strike, no major flaws. A few scattered tiny spots are visible, including one beneath O of OF and two beneath L of HALF, though other smaller ones may be seen here...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 Atlanta Expo → U.

Proof-64 RB (PCGS) (see below) $8,000.00 Highly reflective surfaces show light brown color with underlying orange and violet, with rich golden color close to the original mint red shade becoming plain under a good light. An unquestioned original striking, with no trace of the bulge in the lower left obverse that is visible on the "first restrike" coins struck later from the identical die pair. Careful examination under a glass...  more Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 Atlanta Expo → U. S. Coins → U. S. Large Cents → U. S.

F-15 (NGC) (see below) $15,000.00 A circulated and desirable specimen of America's first regular issue cent, the most enduring of all denominations. Smooth light brown surfaces show some delicate highlights of gold and pale violet. Very nice sharpness for this grade level, with good hair detail, complete date, and the usually stronger reverse showing its distinctive AMERI well.

MS-65 BN (PCGS) (see below) $875.00 A medium brown specimen with rolling rose iridescence and an underlying nuance of mint red on satiny, lustrous surfaces.

Fairly well struck on both sides, with some slight lightness on the eagle's tail, but all feathers delineated. Nice eye appeal.

A dandy example of the second and last year of the Flying Eagle cent. 5134 1858 Small Letters.

Coins → U. S. Small Cents → U. S. Indian Head Cents Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 5135 1860 Pointed Bust Truncation. MS-63 (ANACS) (see below) $460.00 A lustrous and thoroughly lovely example of this issue, a coin with sharp striking (not always the case), deep, rich lustre, and excellent eye appeal. Some scattered marks in the fields, to be sure, but far fewer than normally seen on a coin graded at this level. If you pay "MS-64 money" for this piece you will not make an error. 5136 1863 MS-65 (PCGS) (see below) $750.00 Brilliant and highly lustrous. A nice example of this popular Civil War issue. 5137 1868 Proof-66 RD (PCGS) (see below) $19,000.00 The present piece scores high marks in several areas, the certification assignment to be sure, but even more important, it has superb visual appeal. The coin is mint orange just beginning to naturally fade to light brown, evenly and attractively, with some subtle hints of magenta. Take this home and your requirement for an especially fine Proof 1868 cent will be forever satisfied. 5138 1877 EF-40 (PCGS) (see below) $2,500.00 Rich brown surfaces exhibit light wear, as expected at this grade level.
