1810/09 S.281
|
AU-55 |
$1,200.00
|
About Uncirculated-55, an exceptionally high grade for this important overdate variety. High rims, glossy chocolate brown with a subtle hint of reverse red add significantly to this coin's remarkable visual appeal. At this grade level, this specimen might fall at the bottom of the Condition Census for a variety that is difficult to find so finely preserved. |

1811 S.287. Perfect Date
|
AU-50 |
$700.00
|
About Uncirculated-50. A bold, slightly off-center strike results in boldest detail, notably on Liberty's locks and wreath leaves. Pleasing light reddish-brown surfaces are subtly reflective and a glass catches tiny obverse tics left of the bust point. |
|
|
| 842 |
1812 S.289. Large Date
|
AU-50 |
$500.00
|
About Uncirculated-50 in detail. Lightly off-center strike is seen in rims of uneven width. Light brown surfaces show scattered reddish obverse stains but the fine detail is exceptional throughout. |
|
|
| 843 |
1813 S.292. Distant Star
|
AU-50 |
$600.00
|
About Uncirculated-50. This complex example of the War of 1812 coinage combines a very high technical grade with microgranular reddish-brown surfaces that give the coin a rather odd, blurry appearance. |
|
|
| 844 |
1814 S.295. Plain 4
|
VF-25 |
$275.00
|
Sharpness of Very Fine-25. The fields and devices are well balanced, however they are dark and granular; also included is a Draped Bust Large Cent 1800 S.197. The so-called ''Q variety''. Fine-12. Dark patina. There are some old scratches along the left obverse periphery. 2 pieces. |
