Zelinka 2-A. Nelson 4. Older Head CH EF $700.00 117.4 gns. Choice Extremely Fine, and essentially About Uncirculated in terms of wear. Here is a lovely light brown specimen with lovely golden highlights. The strike is bold and the centering is good, but for a few letters whose very tops have been nipped off.

Older Head EF $700.00 110.0 grains. Extremely Fine. 26mm. Small flan. This delightful piece displays pale golden tan color on both sides. Obverse and reverse surfaces are generally smooth. Well centered on the obverse for the variety, the reverse is much tighter with the tops of most letters at or running off the edge.

Central strike is soft, as is typical, and the reverse die is in a late, failing state. 107 1760 Voce Populi Halfpenny. VOOE spelling. Zelinka 7-E. Nelson 3 EF $550.00 Extremely Fine. Glossy, essentially immaculate surfaces boast definite ruddy overtones on both sides of this well-preserved Voce copper. The fields are mark-free and exhibit only some minor planchet striae on the reverse. The central devices are a bit weakly defined at the centers, otherwise we would have been tempted to call this a full AU grade.

Nelson 3 CH F $180.00 108.5 gns. Choice Fine. Here is an evenly circulated, deep olive-brown specimen of this popular ''error'' spelling.

A radiant...  more 113 1776 Continental Dollar. CURENCY spelling F $16,000.00 Dots partially re-cut to rings on reverse. Newman 1-B. Hodder 1-A.2. Pewter (R-7). Weight and edge device undocumentable due to encapsulation. Dies oriented about 20 degrees, approximating ''medal turn.'' Fine.

Choice Fine. Usual twin leaf edge. Legends and devices are worn to a pleasing olive-gray hue, while the surrounding fields are a luminous silver-gray with touches of golden toning. Given the softness of the metal, it is not unusual to find Continental Dollars slightly wavy, like this one; such unevenness can be easily straightened by an expert hand. A few minor areas of ''tin...  more Categories  •  Stack's September 2006 → U. S. Coins → U. S. Colonial Coins → Nova Constellatio Coppers Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 115 1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Pointed Rays. Large US. CONSTELLATIO. Crosby 3-B. AU $800.00 117.8 gns. About Uncirculated from a technical standpoint and probably nearly Mint State in actual terms of wear. Surfaces are hard and glossy and range from chestnut to dark brown in various places, the darker coloration resulting from some light verdigris in those areas. Strike is very bold and the die state is a bit later than usually seen, this coin displaying a fine die crack from...  more 116 1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Pointed Rays. Large US. CONSTELLATIO. Crosby 4-C. UNC $15,000.00 112.0 gns. Uncirculated. Lustrous, ever so gently reflective, medium brown surfaces display hints of olive and blue and even boast some subtle remnants of original mint red in the most protected areas of the lettering and central devices. Strike is bold and centering is near perfect on this pretty Confederation era copper. Although no accurate rarity ratings for Novas exist, Rod Widok's...  more 117 1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Pointed Rays. Large US. CONSTELLATIO. Crosby 5-E. UNC $3,250.00 125.2 gns. Uncirculated. Lustrous golden brown surfaces boast icy blue highlights in the protected areas of the devices on both sides. Well struck from an early state of the dies. Obverse is well centered and exhibits beveled rims, while the reverse is a bit off toward the top and exhibits much sharper rims; the difference in rims is most probably a result of the planchet-cutting process....  more Categories  •  Stack's September 2006 → U. S. Coins → U. S. Colonial Coins → Fugio Cents Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 118 1787 Fugio Cent. Newman 6-W.1 (R-5). Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. EF $1,700.00 158.3 gns. Extremely Fine. Glossy, ruddy brown fields surround legends and devices that are worn to a pleasing, olive-brown hue. Two large, mint made planchet voids are noted through sunface and through the letters 'MIND' and 'BUS'. This specimen is most interesting for its die states, which is much later than usually encountered. The die crack/break at the lower obverse has grown to...  more 119 1787 Fugio Cent. N.8-X. Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. Uncirculated UNC $1,200.00 - nearly Choice. Ruddy brown with lighter golden brown at the peripheries, this gently lustrous coin exhibits few of the planchet flaws that plague this historic issue. The obverse exhibits the diagnostic major rim to rim die crack that runs from across the coin from 6:00 to 10:30. NGC MS62BN. 120 1787 Fugio Cent. N.12-?. Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. VG $100.00 136.5 gns. Very Good. Obverse die is most certainly number 12, although the general granularity of the surfaces preclude attribution of the reverse. (Perhaps this coin represents one of the very rare combinations of obverse 12?) A small planchet flaw above 'N' of MIND goes right through the coin. Dies oriented medal turn. 121 1787 Fugio Cent. N.13-X. Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. Very Choice Uncirculated VERY CH UNC $3,000.00 Icy mint gloss covers both obverse and reverse of this glowing deep chestnut brown specimen. Lustre is unbroken and the strike is quite bold, bringing out all the finest details in the sundial and all the horizontal hatching of MIND YOUR BUSINESS. A Fugio Cent wouldn't be a Fugio Cent without at least some planchet flaws, but fortunately this coin's are minimal, including a slight chip...  more 122 1787 Fugio Cent. Newman 13-X. Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. Uncirculated UNC $1,800.00 156.0 gns. Subtle hints of original mint red color lie hidden in the most protected areas of the devices of both sides. There is some of the usually encountered planchet flakiness, which is mostly minor and is restricted to the lower left obverse and upper left reverse. A tiny curved planchet clip is noted at the 4:00 position. Here is a very attractive Fugio Cent that undoubtedly hails...  more 123 1787 Fugio Cent. Newman 16-N.1 (R-4). Fine Rays. STATES UNITED. VF $550.00 154.2 gns. Very Fine, or a bit finer. Golden and olive-brown devices stand out against slightly darker brown fields on both sides. Surfaces exhibit a few minor pinscratches and circulation tics, but none are severe enough to detract from the eye appeal of this coin. A straight planchet clip is noted just above the sun's rays on the right. Struck from the state of the reverse die featuring...  more 124 1787 Fugio Cent. Newman 104-FF. New Haven Restrike. Copper CH AU $380.00 Choice About Uncirculated. As with so many New Haven Restrikes, this specimen exhibits a trifling amount of wear, perhaps in an attempt to make this 19th century restrike look older than it actually was! Surfaces are smooth, glossy and quite attractive, and this coin's only flaw is a minor old scuff at central obverse. PCGS AU58. Categories  •  Stack's September 2006 → U. S. Coins → U. S. Colonial Coins → Vermont Coppers Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 125 1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. Ryder 2 (R-3+). VERMONTS obverse spelling CH EF $4,500.00 135.2 gns. Choice Extremely Fine, nearly About Uncirculated. Supremely choice, chocolate brown fields are glossy and ever so gently lustrous on both sides. The central devices, including the sun rising over the Green Mountain range, are bold and quite fully struck and are a lighter olive-brown in hue, contrasting with the slightly darker fields. There are some of the usually spindly...  more 126 1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. Ryder 2 (R-3+). VERMONTS obverse spelling EF $3,250.00 143.0 gns. Extremely Fine for sharpness. Strike is full, creating remarkably well-defined mountain range, plow and All-Seeing Eye motifs. The date and lettering are similarly full, with only the tops of PUBLICA and STELLA a bit weak due to the utter closeness of these words to the beveled planchet edge. Decidedly hard surfaces are a dark olive-brown in hue and exhibit a very subtle...  more 127 1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. Ryder 4 (R-4). VERMONTIS obverse spelling VF $1,700.00 112.8 gns. Very Fine. Surfaces are mostly light olive brown, while the obverse exhibits some flat-to-the-surface red verdigris and two patches of green verdigris. Legends are mostly full and quite boldly defined, as is the date and plow. Due to the usual die failure at the mountain range and some inherent planchet roughness at the upper obverse and reverse, the design motifs in those...  more 128 1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. Ryder 4 (R-4). VERMONTIS obverse spelling VF to EF $1,400.00 105.6 gns. Very Fine to Extremely Fine. Pleasing light brown surfaces are quite smooth and glossy, but for some minor planchet flaws and roughness on the reverse. This coin is struck noticeably off-center on a planchet with a small straight clip, and the off-centering has focused attention on the full, well-formed border denticles on the lower half of both obverse and reverse. The obverse...  more 129 1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape type. Ryder 4 (R-4). VERMONTIS obverse spelling F $2,600.00 131.1 gns. Fine, or a bit better. Legends, designs and portions of the fields are a pleasing light brown hue and are contrasted by deeper graphite-gray tones that are mostly isolated to the fields. Well-centered, the date and the word QUARTA are a bit tight to the rim. Struck from the usual sunken state of the obverse die that has created the bold bulge on the struck coin.
