1748 1794 Br.1a, C.1a. Large Edge Letters AU-55 $10,500.00
1794 Br.1a, C.1a. Large Edge Letters. About Uncirculated-55. A truly meticulous strike provides marvelously...
About Uncirculated-55. A truly meticulous strike provides marvelously detailed devices and wonderfully crisp legends. Uniform light brown fields are remarkably smooth and free of marks to a degree seldom seen in this early date. A hint of die clashing can be found but the overall visual quality of this coin must be hailed as extraordinary.
1749 1794 Br.1a. C.1a. Large Edge Letters EF-40 $1,300.00
1794 Br.1a. C.1a. Large Edge Letters. Extremely Fine-40. The surfaces are mostly hard with just the...
Extremely Fine-40. The surfaces are mostly hard with just the slightest bit of granularity present. The date and corresponding reverse area are weakly struck but are still plainly visible. A few light contact marks but none are terribly serious. A decent example overall of this early Half Cent date.
1750 1794 Br.1a. C.1a. Large Edge Letters F-15 $800.00

Fine-15. Miss Liberty, most legends and reverse wreath are boldly defined, while the date is a trifle weak at the tops of the digits. Surfaces are generally microscopically porous, with some areas of smoothing in the fields. What appear to be a couple of rim bruises are actually tiny planchet flaws.
1751 1794 Br.2b. C.2a. Small Edge Letters EF-40 $700.00
1794 Br.2b. C.2a. Small Edge Letters. Extremely Fine-40 in terms of wear. Surfaces are ebony brown...
Extremely Fine-40 in terms of wear. Surfaces are ebony brown and uniformly very porous. Ancient scratches are noted at the upper right obverse.
1752 1794 Br.9. C.9. High Relief Head VF-30 $400.00

Very Fine-30 in terms of wear. Surfaces range from lightly to heavily granular on both obverse and reverse. Medium brown overall and boasting a very strongly defined date and devices.
1753 1795 Br.2a. C.2a (R-3). Lettered Edge. Punctuated Date F-12 $750.00

Fine-12 in terms of wear but there is a 'X' in the field before the face that has been lightened. The color is a deep brown and the strike is decent; 1800 Br.1b. C.1. Fine-12. Light brown toning which hide some very light pinscratches. A coin with decent eye appeal. 2 pieces.
1754 1795 Br.2a. C.2a. Lettered Edge. Punctuated Date VF-20 $600.00

Very Good-8. Mostly brown with some light areas of porosity. A late die state with some bulging visible in the central reverse; 1804 Br.10, C.13. Plain 4. Stemless. Very Fine-20. Light ebony toning over well struck surfaces. The surfaces are mostly hard with just a touch of light porosity seen in spots. Some light pinscratches are seen in the head area but are well hidden. 2 pieces.
1755 1795 Br.5a. C.5a (R-3). No Pole. Plain Edge F-12 $325.00

Fine-12. Here is a deep brown specimen sporting light to moderate granularity on both sides. '5' is indistinct due to porosity.
1756 1795 Br.6a, C.6a. No Pole. Plain Edge. Mint State-60 MS-60 $10,000.00
1795 Br.6a, C.6a. No Pole. Plain Edge. Mint State-60 or better. Thin planchet and splendid smooth...
- or better. Thin planchet and splendid smooth fields join a fantastically clear strike that is slightly off-center for added fascination. Overall color is outstanding, intense study with a glass reveals traces of a subtle past cleaning beneath the patina.
1757 1797 Br.2a. C.2 (R-3). Plain Edge VG-8 $300.00

Very Good-8. Obverse strong, reverse worn away in some areas. Surfaces show old marks and rims exhibit a couple of bruises on the reverse.
