Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 18		Cent. 1794. S-42 (R-3). Sharpness of Fine. Porous. View details	Realized $253
Lot 19		Cent. 1797. Sheldon-123, Rarity-4. PCGS graded MS-66. Red and Brown. Obverse of 1797, Reverse Stems.A fabulous coin that is one of the very finest known of the Nichols find, one of only 2 graded this high in fact. There are also 2 others graded Mint State 66, but they are fully toned to brown. What is most amazing here is the flawless surfaces. A strong glass is needed to locate any signs of contact, which is unheard of on a coin from this era. Furthermore, there is original mint red glowing up from the fields near the devices, quite a bit of mint red in fact, showing how carefully this coin has been preserved for the past 202 years. Well struck too, with most of the veins in the leaves visible, and only a few showing signs of weakness. Curiously the obverse die has a small mark on it, which runs horizontally across Liberty's face, just below her eye, this feature is on every coin struck from this obverse die and has the unfortunate appearance of a small bagmark. Little problems like this only add to the charm of early copper, which reflect the challenges of early coinage at the Philadelphia Mint. Here is one of the very finest examples known from this era, and apparently tied for the Finest Known with just one other coin of this important Guide Book type coin. View details	Realized $18,700

Lot 23		Cent. 1814. Sheldon-294, Rarity-1. Crosslet 4. PCGS graded MS-65. Brown. An important type coin in full gem condition. The classic head design was coined during the years 1808 through 1814, most of which were struck on poorly prepared planchets that tended to oxidize or "tone" more quickly than Large Cents produced either before or after this type. This fact is reflected in the Population Reports of the grading services. PCGS for it's 13 years of grading, has only graded "Brown" Mint State 1814s, there are no "Red" or even "Red and Brown" colored originals. Here then, is one of the very few true gems that remain for collectors. There is only a single coin graded higher, what must be a spectacular Mint State 67, and two coins graded Mint State 65 Brown in the current (March 1999) PCGS Population Report. The fields show wonderful cartwheel from the luster and a few hints of original mint surface remains in the protected areas, mostly on the reverse. What separates this coin from the many others, is the virtually flawless surfaces, mark free in fact, with only microscopic signs of contact. This is one of the very finest of its type in existence, and is stunning and desirable in every regard. A foremost challenge for collectors is to locate a Classic Head Large Cent in full gem condition, there just aren't enough to go around, so be sure to recognize this chance to lock one away.
