Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 3158 1840'C' CH AU $5,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A simply splendid specimen featuring light greenish-gold surfaces that host abundant lustre in the fields, especially in the most protected areas in and around the devices and legends. Well struck, with full details evident on Miss Liberty and the eagle, and even the radials to the stars are clearly visible under magnification. Struck on a very high quality planchet...  more 3159 1842'C' AU $4,750.00 About Uncirculated. This coin represents an exceptionally high grade for a Charlotte date to which Akers assigned the average grade of Very Fine. Pale yellow gold surfaces complement a typical Southern Branch Mint strike. One of only 6,729 struck, and in a higher grade than the James A. Stack example that was described as nearly Extremely Fine. PCGS AU50. 3160 1843'C' Small Date (Crosslet 4) CH AU $6,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Significant lustre is especially bold around the reliefs and across the lower obverse, 'C' is high and its tip is lost in the arrow feather. The obverse shows an advanced die crack from rim to bust point, heralding the severe die break that came not long after the striking of this coin. Here is an exciting grade for a date given an average grade of Choice Very...  more 3161 1843'D' Small 'D' CH AU $4,250.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Frosty fields and well struck devices are characteristic of this date, making it a good representative from the Dahlonega mint, which is better known for its poor strikes and lustre. Rich orange-gold surfaces are free from all but the most minor of handling marks. Struck from Winter's variety 4-D, featuring the small mintmark. Just 36,209 pieces were coined of...  more 3162 1843'O' Small Date (Crosslet 4) AU $650.00 About Uncirculated and a splendidly original amber gold example with iridescent coppery tones at the obverse peripheries and reverse centers. Well struck peripheries, soft centers as is usual for this issue. 3163 1845'D' CH AU $5,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Luscious green-gold surfaces exhibit quite a bit of richer orange-gold toning. Lustre is above average and quite frosty for the issue and is essentially intact in the fields, except for the areas where light friction is in evidence. Circulation tics are minimal and quite minor in general, making this decently struck example from this branch mint a highly desirable...  more 3164 1845'D' AU $1,800.00 A second. About Uncirculated. A good example of this low mintage Dahlonega issue. Only 19,460 were struck. This piece is light yellow gold in color. The surfaces are disturbed by just a few signs of circulation, including a shallow scratch in the lower right obverse field. 3165 1845'O' EF $600.00 Extremely Fine. A typically struck example with some weakness in the central area. A frosty coin that exhibits no major detractions. A very scarce date that has a mintage of a mere 4,000 pieces. 3166 1851 VF $110.00 Very Fine. Pale yellow-gold surfaces are enhanced by rich amber tones in the protected areas. Minor contact as expected for the grade is noted. 3167 1852 CH AU $160.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Light orange-gold toned surfaces enjoy abundant mint frost in the fields and protected areas. 3168 1852 AU $155.00 A second. About Uncirculated. A pleasing specimen with rich frosty lustre in the protected areas. 3169 1853 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $170.00 - or virtually so. Scintillating mint lustre is the rule on this well struck Philadelphia mint survivor. A glass reveals some faint pinscratches between the eagle's neck and wing. 3170 1853 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $150.00 A second. Satiny mint bloom gives this specimen an appealing look. The toning is slightly mottled in varying shades of yellow-gold. 3171 1853 AU $135.00 A third. About Uncirculated. A pale yellow coin with light wear and some protected lustre. 3172 1854 AU $145.00 About Uncirculated.

A very minor hairline at the lower...  more 3176 1858'C' AU $1,750.00 About Uncirculated. Well struck with decent lustre. A couple of shallow scratches, one on the cheek. Despite the fact that this date is considered common, this example exemplifies what one would want in a Charlotte Mint type coin. 3177 1859 Old Reverse EF $160.00 Extremely Fine.

One of only 7,469 pieces struck. 3179 1860'S' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $4,200.00 - or virtually so. Here is a coin that is teetering on the edge of a Mint State grade. Frosty, rich wheat gold lustre is of the intensity expected of a Choice Uncirculated coin, while the strike is average to above average for the issue. However, close examination will reveal the subtlest touch of friction to the high points, especially on the obverse. Here is a very original, high grade and...  more 3180 1861 New Reverse. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $550.00 - with claims to Choice. Boldly struck and featuring wide, high rims to frame coruscating mint frost in the fields. Devices are well struck on this specimen exemplifying the New Style Reverse referred to as ''Type II'' by Breen. 3181 1861 New Reverse EF $130.00 A second. Extremely Fine. A lightly circulated coin that is wheat gold with deep coppery toning in the recesses. 3182 1873 Open 3 CH AU $130.00 Choice About Uncirculated, and on the cusp of Mint State.
