Mint State-63 MS-63 $350.00 Forceful, icy brown lustre defines this well-struck specimen of this Randall Hoard Large Cent variety. A small spot is noted below Miss Liberty's ear. 1885 1816 N.2. Mint State-60 MS-60 $350.00 The upper right obverse boasts abundant mint red, while the right reverse exhibits hints of original red. The rest of the coin displays darker burgundy-brown surfaces. 1886 1817 N.8 AU-50 $220.00 Extremely Fine-40 in terms of wear but the surfaces are dark and have areas of light porosity. Well struck; 1852 N.7. About Uncirculated-55. A wholesome example with medium brown toning. ANACS AU55; 1855 N.6. Upright 5's. About Uncirculated-50 with light iridescent toning over mostly brown surfaces. A spot on the rim on the obverse. 3 pieces. 1887 1817 N.10 AU-55 $825.00 About Uncirculated-55. A boldly struck example with all of the denticles visible. The surfaces appear smooth and hard to the naked eye, but magnification reveals some minuscule pits. The color is a nice medium brown, but is possibly retoned from a past lightening. Despite the mentioned issues the overall eye appeal is quite acceptable. 1888 1818 N.6. Mint State-60 MS-60 $240.00 Satiny mint lustre bathes the surfaces of this glorious specimen. Razor sharp details are present as the result of a forceful strike. The color is a natural but somewhat uneven medium brown. An enchantingly beautiful Large Cent that was not one of the varieties commonly available in Mint State condition from the famous Randall hoard. 1889 1818 N.10. Mint State-63 MS-63 $450.00 - red and brown. A classic example of this popular and justly famous Randall Hoard variety. Both sides show considerable original mint red color and very pleasing mint lustre. The obverse shows the peripheral die break around the rim that marks this as one of the Randall varieties. NGC MS63RB. 1890 1818 N.10. Mint State-63 MS-63 $450.00 This very full strike shows the long-suffering Matron Head at its best. Mint red gathers around the reliefs, just a touch of brown is developing in the delightfully smooth fields. PCGS MS63RB. 1891 1818 N.10. Mint State-63 MS-63 $300.00 Icy blue and rose-brown lustre defines this well struck 1818 Cent. A few stray marks at cheek and a couple spots keep this from a much higher grade. 1892 1818 N.10. Mint State-62 MS-62 $325.00 Mint red glows in the protected areas of this golden brown, lustrous Cent. There are two minor carbon spots on the obverse. 1893 1819 N.8. Mint State-62 MS-62 $925.00 - not far from fully Choice. Full detail testifies to a splendid strike, light brown surfaces are highlighted by much mint red surrounding the sharply defined reliefs. PCGS MS62BN. 1894 1820/19 N.2. Small Date. Mint State-63 MS-63 $1,700.00 Lustre cartwheels in the light on this specimen that is mostly chestnut brown with areas of faded original mint red in the fields of both sides. Surfaces are essentially free of flaws, but a small mark should be noted below the final 'S' of STATES. NGC MS63BN. 1895 1820 N.13. Mint State-62 MS-62 $850.00 Pleasing glossy brown surfaces which have nice lustre emanating from them. The strike is bold and the overall appeal is quite nice. 1896 1820 N.13. Mint State-60 MS-60 $325.00 Here is a coin that is drenched in satiny mint bloom. The color is generally chocolate brown with a few grayish areas. A tiny verdigris spot on the reverse at 'AM' is the only mild distraction. An attractive high grade specimen that never saw a minute of circulation. 1897 1822, 1825, 1834 Large 8, Small Stars, Medium Letters, 1835 Head of '36 F-15 to VF-35 $220.00 1837 Plain Cords, Medium Letters.

Copper. Mint State-64 MS-64 $1,300.00 Glittering, gently prooflike surfaces exhibit abundant original red on the obverse, while the reverse is a richly attractive mahogany brown. Edge exhibits the usual outsized beveling, which is the result of the massive die break at the obverse rim. A solitary carbon spot is noted in the obverse field on this restrike produced by Mickley using U.S. Mint dies that had been sold as scrap. 1899 1824/2 N.1 EF-45 $750.00 Extremely Fine-45. Smooth brown surfaces give an alluring appearance. A minute hairline scratch at the obverse is almost unnoticeable, and some reverse encrustation is quite minor. The all important overdate is quite bold and the overall appearance of the coin is rather handsome. 1900 1826 N.4 AU-58 $550.00 About Uncirculated-58. Deep mahogany brown, lustrous surfaces are just a touch of cabinet friction from a full Mint State designation. A few minor carbon flecks are noted for the sake of completeness. 1901 1826 N.5 EF-40 $350.00 Extremely Fine-40. Medium brown surfaces display paler chocolate tones glowing from the protected areas for an enchanting look. The surfaces are evenly and microscopically granular, but are glossy and free of any mentionable contact marks. 1902 1826/5 N.8 AU-55 $2,400.00 About Uncirculated-55. Glossy, golden brown surfaces are near perfect in their attractiveness, featuring a touch of mint lustre in the protected areas of the devices.

Fairly well centered on both sides. Dramatically struck over an 1806 British Halfpenny, Cent obverse over Halfpenny reverse and vice versa. The Cent types are bold at left on the obverse and reverse, quite soft to indistinct on the right on each side. The piece appears flattened at the right on each side.

Mint State-64 MS-64 $550.00 A lovely Beaded Cords example boasting gently glowing red just beginning to tone toward lightest brown. A couple of freckles may be found near stars 7-8, but the smooth fields are otherwise immaculate.
