Lot 102		1847 N-28 R3+ Repunched 4 PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown. Frosty bluish steel brown and olive with faded mint red covering 25% of the planchet. No spots, stains, or contact marks, but the strike is slightly weak. The coronet over LIB is not fully impressed and none of the stars have their radial lines. The only mark of any significance is a shallow, thin planchet void slanting through the lower half of the 8 in the date, as struck. E-MDS, die state b early. A fine die crack shows through the top of OF to the dentils at either end, but the remaining cracks normally found around the reverse legend are not present. Repunching shows clearly over the right foot of the 4 with weaker repunching visible over the crossbar. Our grade is MS60, tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Naftzger provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $600 - UP Ex M. H. Bolender 2/1/1947:667-R. E. Naftzger, Jr., McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/7/2009:797.

Lot 103		1847 N-30 R4+ Repunched 1 EF40. Glossy light chocolate and steel brown with traces of satiny luster in a few of the protected areas. A small rim nick above star 8 is the only notable mark. Very nice for the grade. MDS, die state b, with a small lump on the upper edge of the wreath ribbon but no rim cud. The repunching at the base of the 1 is clear. An attractive example of a variety that seldom comes in high grade. Estimate Value $300 - UP Ex Jim Long-Ronald J. Houseknecht, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 5/2012:311. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $210
Lot 104		1848 N-1 R1 Repunched 184 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown with traces of very faded mint red in a few of the protected areas on both sides. No spots or stains, only a few very light contact marks on the jaw and neck, none notable. MDS die state b. Die polishing has removed most of the repunching from the 18 but it is still clearly visible on the 4. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective. Our grade is AU58, just a hint of friction on the highest points from mint state. The PCGS label indicates the die variety is N-13, but that is incorrect. Estimate Value $300 - UP Ex Boeing Coin & Stamp 1/15/2011-Doug Durasoff, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 1/25/2015:687 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $504

Lot 106		1848 N-12 R1 NGC graded MS64 Red & Brown. Highly lustrous bluish steel and chocolate with 15% of the mint color showing on the obverse and 85% of the bright original mint red remaining on the reverse. The obverse is a gem, virtually flawless. The reverse would rate a similar grade but there are numerous small specks of dark toning scattered about, mostly inside the wreath. None of these specks is significant in its own right, but there are too many to ignore. Still a very impressive cent. M-LDS, die state b late. The die lines over ERIC seen in the earlier states are very weak, nearly gone. Our grade is MS63+, very close to MS64. Tied for CC#4 honors in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Estimate Value $800 - UP Ex Maryland Coin-McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 2/3/2013:536-William Hamilton Collection.

Lot 107		1848 N-13 R4 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty steel and chocolate brown with traces of faded mint red remaining on both sides. The eye appeal is excellent except for an obvious spot of dark toning on the rim under star 13. There are a couple nicks on the neck and a small mark in the field right of the main curl, but these defects are not significant. LDS, die state b, with a strong rim cud break over TES in STATES. Our grade is AU58+, very close to MS60. Tied for CC#5 overall but second finest of the late state in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP Ex Anderson Dupont, Stack's 9/24/1954:909-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/1984:567-R. E. Naftzger, Jr., 1990 EAC Sale, lot 368-Chris McCawley-Evan L.

Lot 108		1848 N-24 R4+ NGC graded AU58. Choice glossy light to medium chocolate brown. A light diagonal nick under the end of the chin is the only notable mark, and it is trivial. MDS, die state b. Our grade is EF40, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. Great eye appeal for the grade. A nice cent that comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Estimate Value $250 - UP Ex Abe Kosoff, Bowers & Merena 11/1985:222-Walter Dudgeon, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 7/30/1994:318-Dr. Wallace Lee, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 5/2001:1313-Eric Fix, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/2014:482.
