1793 Sheldon 3. Chain AMERICA. No Periods after date, LIBERTY.
|
F-15 |
$6,000.00
|
Fine-15 in terms of actual detail. Surfaces are a very deep chestnut brown, verging on ebony depending on the angle of the light. Fields are uniformly very granular, which has somewhat weakened the legends and date. The obverse effigy of Liberty and the all important chain on the reverse are fortunately very boldly defined. A rather large edge bruise at 10:30 on the reverse serves to... more |

1793 S.4 (R-3). Chain AMERICA. Periods after date, LIBERTY.
|
VF-20 |
$5,000.00
|
Very Fine-20 in strict terms of wear. The nicely detailed low-relief Liberty head is positioned between very sharp LIBERTY and date, each followed by a bold period or pellet. The reverse bears an uneven outer legend with an edge bump penetrating AMERICA. A number of field marks can be seen, including marks over and around ONE CENT. Light brown and fascinating. |

|
EF-40 |
$310.00
|
Sharpness of an Extremely Fine-40 coin exhibiting dark and granular surfaces. Strong obverse sharpness, especially on Liberty's hair. A heavy obverse die cud at the upper left rim, but no subsidiary break yet. |

'1804 Restrike.' Mint State-60
|
MS-60 |
$525.00
|
Here is an especially fascinating example of one of the most famous creations of the early 19th century. Light brown surfaces show heavy die rust on the altered 1803 obverse die and the impression of the 1820 reverse die is very faint. Added to this, the reverse has been repeatedly stabbed by some chisel-like device, leaving a number of straight cuts toward the center, possibly by some... more |

1811 S.287. Perfect Date
|
AU-50 |
$1,800.00
|
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. |
|
|
| 1014 |
1812 S.289. Large Date
|
AU-50 |
$400.00
|
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. |
|
|

1813 S.292. Distant Star
|
AU-50 |
$500.00
|
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. |
|
|
| 1016 |
1814 S.294. Crosslet 4
|
AU-55 |
$350.00
|
About Uncirculated-55 in terms of detail with a light mint red patina. The strike is strong and there are no major marks to detract. The coin has been lightly cleaned many years ago and now has started to tone. Still quite attractive for the grade. |
