1793 S.4 (High R-3). Periods Variety, AMERICA. Choice About Uncirculated-55 and a highly desirable...
Choice About Uncirculated-55 and a highly desirable example of this coveted issue.

Net Very Fine-25. Sharpness of a solid Extremely Fine-40 or better, but reduced because of moderate surface porosity. Deep olive surfaces reveal a sharp, short scratch from Liberty's neck into the right field below her chin. Further identifiable by a tiny edge nick on the obverse at approximately 10:00.

single leaf. Net Good-4 or better. Sharpness of Very Fine-20 on the obverse and Very Good-8 on the reverse, but the surfaces are rough and porous. There is a minor scratch in the field before Liberty's nose extending upwards, and a deep cut on the reverse hits the numerator of the fraction to the wreath knot. Medium brown in color, and rather typical for this coveted issue.

1794 S.31. Marred field, long fraction bar. Detail of Choice Extremely Fine-45 or better. Porous,...
Detail of Choice Extremely Fine-45 or better. Porous, somewhat rough olive-brown surfaces show evidence of having been partially smoothed to improve the appearance. The 'IT' of UNITED on the reverse is not legible, however, all other devices are very clear and sharp. A small edge bruise is found past the 'Y' of LIBERTY.

1795 S.76B. ONE CENT high, Plain Edge, Single Leaves. About Uncirculated-50 or nearly so. A very attractive...
About Uncirculated-50 or nearly so. A very attractive coin for the grade, with excellent surfaces and pleasing light tan to brown color. No rim bumps or scratches distract the eye, and there is no trace of porosity or pitting. The strike is typically sharp, and a hair off center on the upper right obverse. The rim at this location is raised slightly above 'BERTY', similar to the knife...  more

1796 S.81 Cap & Pole. Pole attached to Bust, Double Leaf under N. Extremely Fine-40. Medium chocolate-brown...
Extremely Fine-40. Medium chocolate-brown and impressive for this variety. A coin which shows clean surfaces albeit a few minor problems. There is a patch of red corrosion on Liberty's eye, another similar subtle patch through the lower curls to below the date, and some minor roughness in the planchet behind and on the cap of Liberty. The reverse shows less roughness and no corrosion....  more

Choice Extremely Fine-45. Almost certainly the Anderson DuPont coin. A highly attractive, chocolate-brown example. The surfaces are free of porosity and corrosion, and display the desired color so often lacking on early copper. Identifiable by a tiny pair of rim tics above the 'BE' of LIBERTY. A similar pair is also present left of the 'O' in OF on the reverse, and there is an additional tiny tic...  more

Net Extremely Fine-40 or better. Sharpness of a Mint State coin but very gently burnished long ago, likely to remove traces of porosity and to soften a few trivial handling marks on both the obverse and reverse. Attractively toned a lovely, balanced medium brown. Examination of the fields and curls near Liberty's ribbon will reveal shallow depressions, and there is a very minor mark...  more

Detail of a sharp About Uncirculated-50 or better. Finely and evenly porous on the obverse and reverse, and exhibiting slightly pale patina. The color is light brown with traces of iridescence from the past conservation efforts. The strike is consistent with that seen for the variety, there being very bold definition on Liberty's curls.

- with respect to wear, however the color is a bit pale and the surfaces have minor peripheral patches of dark olive patina on the obverse and reverse.

Detail of Choice About Uncirculated-55. Lightly cleaned many decades ago and now retoned a rose-brown with traces of what is ostensibly mint color in the devices.

Sharply impressed by the dies, with no other problems worthy of mention.

1816 Newcomb 2. Mint State-63. Red and Brown. A lovely example of this Randall Hoard variety that...
Red and Brown. A lovely example of this Randall Hoard variety that boasts nearly full mint red with minor fading. Traces of carbon are best seen with a loupe, and there is a small patch of corrosion above the 'E' of UNITED. A well struck, early die state coin to represent this variety.
3576 1818 N.10 MS-60 $275.00
1818 N.10. Sharpness of Mint State-60 or nearly so. The surfaces initially appear to be red and brown,...
Sharpness of Mint State-60 or nearly so. The surfaces initially appear to be red and brown, however closer examination belies a very old, gentle cleaning that has since been largely concealed by the acquired brown patina. There is an obverse rim lamination at 9:00. The surfaces are otherwise generally smooth and free of problems worthy of mention.
3577 1819 N.8. Mint State-60 MS-60 $450.00
1819 N.8. Mint State-60. A desirable coin that shows some red in the protected areas. There are flecks...
A desirable coin that shows some red in the protected areas. There are flecks of carbon over much of the surfaces. Boldly executed throughout, with fields and devices free of handling. A specimen with ample eye appeal for this Randall Hoard variety.

1821 N.1 ¾ (R-6). Proof-64. Red. One of the finer surviving examples of this rare early Proof....
Red. One of the finer surviving examples of this rare early Proof. The fields and devices are wonderfully red, there being only the slightest degree of fading. Liberty is particularly well frosted and stands out clearly in contrast to deeply reflective mirror fields. Only minor hairlines are present, and the fields are almost entirely free of other signs of contact from handling. Identifiable by a...  more
3579 1827 N.1 AU-50 $150.00

Detail of About Uncirculated-50, but lightly burnished. There are patches of rough corrosion that have been mostly removed from Liberty's eye, the nearby field, and several stars by burnishing. The reverse shows no evidence of corrosion. Both sides have been cleaned to an orange-red that is starting to fade to tan.
3580 1829 N.6 (R-6) PF-60 $26,000.00
1829 N.6 (R-6). The obverse is Proof-63 and essentially full red. The reverse is Proof-60 with only...
The obverse is Proof-63 and essentially full red. The reverse is Proof-60 with only a delicate degree of light fading over plenty of mint color. A limited number of surface hairlines are visible on the obverse. The reverse fields reveal a somewhat greater degree of disturbance, however both sides enjoy wonderful reflectivity. There is no trace of collar ridges as seen on the 1821 Proof Cent...  more
3581 1829 N.6. Mint State-63 MS-63 $15,000.00
1829 N.6. Mint State-63. Brown. Here is a lovely medium brown coin that shows traces of mint red peeking...
Brown. Here is a lovely medium brown coin that shows traces of mint red peeking through the patina on the reverse. Well struck for this issue, with most of the stars showing their radial centers. Liberty's curls are bold and the fields are somewhat reflective. Identifiable by a very minor speck touching Liberty's nose, and another between the final two stars. A very attractive Cent.
3582 1831 N.3. Proof-63 PF-63 $24,000.00
1831 N.3. Proof-63. Red. Bright, red, and reflective in the fields. The surrounding devices and legends...
Red. Bright, red, and reflective in the fields. The surrounding devices and legends are graced by delicate frost, and enjoy a generally sharp strike save for several stars which lack their radial centers. Here is a no nonsense Proof which really stands out from the typical Large Cent of the period. Not only are the fields reflective, but the fabric of the coin is decidedly different from that normally encountered...  more
3583 1831 N.7 CH AU $260.00
1831 N.7. Choice About Uncirculated-55. Light brown and very pleasing for the grade. There is a very...
Choice About Uncirculated-55. Light brown and very pleasing for the grade. There is a very short, tiny mark at the top of the 'C' in AMERICA that barely warrants mention. Traces of lustre in the fields. Clashed on the reverse, and struck a hair off center on the obverse.
3584 1832 N.1 (High R-7). Proof-64 PF-64 $72,500.00
1832 N.1 (High R-7). Proof-64. Red. An extraordinary coin that retains magnificent red color with...
Red. An extraordinary coin that retains magnificent red color with virtually no fading. The strike is a match to the Anderson DuPont coin that we sold in 1954, with the final star sharp, and the others slightly soft at their centers. This does not appear to be the Anderson DuPont coin, however, as it was noted to be an ''olive and steel blue Proof.'' If photographic plates are available, perhaps an examination...  more
3585 1835 N.11 (High R-7). Proof-64 PF-64 $24,000.00
1835 N.11 (High R-7). Proof-64. Similar to the 1832 Proof just offered, the present coin is bright,...
Similar to the 1832 Proof just offered, the present coin is bright, reflective, and bathed in an abundance of mint color. Some fingerprinting is evident on the upper and central reverse. In terms of rarity, this date is essentially a match to the 1832 offered above as perhaps 3 or 4 Proofs are known. By the time the present coin was struck, both dies had acquired cracks; the obverse through the last...  more
3586 1835 N.14. Type of 1834. Mint State-63 MS-63 $1,900.00
1835 N.14. Type of 1834. Mint State-63. Red and Brown. Faded mint color throughout with light brown...
Red and Brown. Faded mint color throughout with light brown toning on both sides. The strike, though not weak, could be a bit sharper. We therefore, hesitate to grade this coin higher than Mint State-63. The surface quality is quite pleasing, and the lustre is above the norm. Identifiable by a small spot on Liberty's chin. Although a common die marriage, this is a very desirable coin...  more
3587 1835 N.6½. Type of 1834. Mint State-63 MS-63 $1,000.00
1835 N.6½. Type of 1834. Mint State-63. Red and Brown. Pleasant light brown fields and devices...
Red and Brown. Pleasant light brown fields and devices still retain their fair share of faded mint red. The surfaces, likewise, reveal a full measure of satiny mint bloom. Liberty's profile and several stars are strongly doubled. The definition is generally sharp on Liberty's head, but most of the stars lack their central radial lines. The reverse die state is somewhat advanced, thus...  more
3588 1837 N.10 (High R-7). Head of 1838. Gem Proof-65 GEM PF $70,000.00
1837 N.10 (High R-7). Head of 1838. Gem Proof-65 and a simply stunning example. Glorious red fields...
- and a simply stunning example. Glorious red fields and design elements exhibit hardly any degree of fading. The surfaces are truly exceptional for an early Proof, there being virtually no hairlines of any kind. The central obverse and reverse features are crisp and clearly defined, save for two upper stars. Boldly mirrored fields augment frosted legends and devices. Traces of minute carbon specks...  more
3589 1838 N.11 (Low R-7). Proof-65 PF-65 $40,000.00
1838 N.11 (Low R-7). Proof-65. Nearly full red. The surfaces are absolutely stunning and of extraordinary...
Nearly full red. The surfaces are absolutely stunning and of extraordinary quality for such an early Proof Cent. Rich fiery red is embellished by hints of violet on the obverse and reverse. Razor-sharp and enjoying a countenance entirely unlike that of any business strike. One microscopic flyspeck is found below star twelve, and two more equally trivial specks are found between UNITED and STATES. Breen reports...  more
3590 1839 N.3. Type of 1838 CH AU $350.00
1839 N.3. Type of 1838. Choice About Uncirculated-55. A very pleasant Cent offering light brown color...
Choice About Uncirculated-55. A very pleasant Cent offering light brown color and a good strike at the centers. Most of the dentils are present save for a small area over STATES. Excellent surfaces reveal few signs of handling and only a few subtle specks. On the reverse, there is a barely visible horizontal hairline scratch crossing through the center dot. A lovely collector coin.
3591 1839 N.4. Silly Head AU-50 $300.00
1839 N.4. Silly Head. A lovely About Uncirculated-50. Medium brown throughout and free of spots or...
A lovely About Uncirculated-50. Medium brown throughout and free of spots or significant handling marks. The strike is sharp at the centers, but about half the stars lack their radial centers, and most of the dentils are weak or not struck up. The reverse die shows clashing at the center between ONE CENT. Another highly appealing coin for the grade.
3592 1839 N.6. Booby Head CH AU $550.00
1839 N.6. Booby Head. Detail of Choice About Uncirculated-58 or better. Expertly cleaned and retoned...
Detail of Choice About Uncirculated-58 or better. Expertly cleaned and retoned with faint evidence of hairlines in the fields. Boldly struck throughout, with virtually no evidence of wear on the high points of the design. Dark brown on the obverse, the reverse similar but with some greenish-brown on the right. One faint scuff resides above the first star, and a very trivial pin scratch...  more
