VF-20 |
$750.00
|
Very Fine-20. Medium brown surfaces are smooth and glossy. The first star is very weak but present. This star is often completely missing, lending the name '12 stars' to this variety. Three dull marks at Liberty's head are noted for accuracy. Classic Head Cents are often found on horrid planchets, but this lovely example is quite an exception and has a great look. |

Very Fine-20. This slightly scarcer issue's surfaces are hard, lightly glossy and a touch granular. |

VG-8 |
$180.00
|
Very Good-8. Deeper toned fields give a pleasing contrast to the generally medium brown design motifs. Some minor surface enhancements may have been performed long ago, but the appearance is quite satisfactory considering most 1809's are badly corroded. |

Good-4. All design elements are present although there is some weakness at the obverse left; 1812 S.290. Extremely Fine-45. A coin with very strong detail, but with a few small verdigris spots and suspicious toning. 2 pieces. |

1810/09 S.281
|
AU |
$1,200.00
|
Extremely Fine-45, nearly About Uncirculated. This example shows the overdate quite clearly and was struck on a better than average copper flan for the issue. The fields are smooth, with only a few marks indicating its high grade circulated condition. This piece will be a highlight of any U.S. copper collection. |

1810/09 S.281

EF-40 |
$175.00

Extremely Fine-40. Crisply detailed devices are surrounded by fields that are a trifle grainy and exhibit areas of light verdigris on both sides. |

1811/10 S.286 (R-3)
|
VF-30 |
$650.00
|
Very Fine-30. This variety is among the most challenging issues in the Classic Head series, with very few available in the upper circulated grades. The present specimen exhibits abundant detail, especially in the reverse wreath, but the surfaces are dark ebony brown and uniformly very granular. Here is a well-detailed coin to fill the 1811/10 date hole in one's collection. |

1811 S.287
|
AU-50 |
$3,000.00
|
About Uncirculated-50. A pleasing medium brown color lends great eye appeal to this smooth example. A bold strike imparted crisp details to this ever-so-slightly circulated example. A date that is tough to find this nice. PCGS AU50. |

1811 S.287

EF-40 |
$275.00
|
Extremely Fine-40 details. This deep brown coin has a decent arms length look. Closer inspection reveals moderate but even porosity. The obverse fields appear to have been smoothed out at some point to enhance their appearance. |
|
|
| 1878 |
1812 S.289. Large Date
|
EF-40 |
$160.00
|
Extremely Fine-40 in terms of circulation wear. Surfaces are dark ebony brown and grainy, with a couple of noticeable scuffs on the obverse. |
|
|
| 1879 |
1812 S.291
|
EF-45 |
$3,250.00
|
Extremely Fine-45. Smooth glossy surfaces have a chestnut brown tone. Just minimal wear is found at the highest points of this wholesome example. An attractive example of a type that is scarcely found this nice. |
|
|
| 1880 |
1813 S.293
|
AU-50 |
$850.00
|
About Uncirculated-50. Medium brown color lends an endearing eye appeal to the glossy smooth surfaces. This coin does show some signs of contact, but nothing out of the ordinary for a coin seeing brief circulation. It is quite difficult to locate a Cent of this date without pitting, making this example quite a find. Very few specimens of S.293 are known in full blown Mint State, so this... more |

1813 S.293

EF |
$650.00
|
Very Fine-30. Surfaces are a glossy dark brown hue that is surprisingly attractive for a Classic Head Large Cent. A few stray circulation marks are noted, none of which are terribly significant. Here is a coin that is essentially Extremely Fine but that is weakly struck at the upper obverse and lower reverse. |
|
|

1814 S.294. Crosslet 4
|
AU-55 |
$1,900.00
|
About Uncirculated-55. This majestic coin has deep chocolate brown color and glossy hard surfaces. The strike is quite bold and there are no marks of note. A lovely coin with great eye appeal that some would call Mint State. |
|
|
| 1883 |
1814 S.295. Plain 4
|
VF-25 |
$650.00
|
Very Fine-25. Forcefully struck, resulting in the retention of abundant detail despite the coin's service in problem-free circulation. Satisfying, uniform deep brown surfaces add to this coin's appeal. PCGS VF25. |
