The always present microscopic lint line from the tip of the nose to star 3 and the other one from the coronet to star 5 are visible (apparently caused by two pieces of lint on the die but sometimes called very fine die cracks). The fields are nicely reflective. Struck with a minor knife edge on the lower half of both sides (which is common for the variety). Our grade is Proof-64, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer. Estimated Value $7,000 - UP Ex William J. (Bill) Nagle 1/21/2000-Colonel Steven K.

Struck with a minor knife rim on the left side of the obverse and lower part of the reverse. Our grade is Proof-62, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census.

No notable marks or other defects, but there are traces of dirt tucked into some of the most-protected areas around the devices. A very nice example of this popular Hawaii Cent that is sometimes collected with our Federal Large Cents and is listed in the "Redbook." Our grade is MS60. The COL Ellsworth Collection provenance is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 112; 53 finer: 46 in 64, 7 in 65.

Lot 481		1854 Pattern Cent Judd-161 Original R4 PCGS graded PR65 Brown. Medium steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint red in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The fields are moderately reflective and are covered with fine die polishing lines. Just a few microscopic marks including a speck under the right coroner of the eye and another on the bust over the right side of the 1. A nice example of this proof-only pattern cent. Our grade is Proof-63. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 12; 4 finer: 3 in 66, 1 in 66+.

Lot 482		1855 Cent Pattern Judd-168 Original R4 PCGS graded PR64 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Attractive woodgrained mix of golden tan and olive brown. Looks quite nice to the unaided eye but a glass reveals very light pin-scratched abrasions in the fields, particularly on the reverse. The toning is not original but it was good enough to pass muster at PCGS. Otherwise free of spots or contact marks. A decent but imperfect example of the popular "Flying Eagle" large cent. Our grade is net Proof-55. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 19; 2 finer in 65. Estimated Value $1,500 - UP Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/8/1999:2506-Colonel Steven K. Ellsworth Collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,440
Lot 483		1868 Ten Cent Pattern Judd-648 R6+ PCGS graded PR64 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty light olive and medium brown. Sharply struck but the fields are not especially reflective; rather they are covered with fine die polishing lines. The toning suggests the planchet is not "copper" as we know it for our regular large cents but rather a more "brassy" mix of metals (but this is difficult to assess in the slab). The only notable marks are both mint-made flaws: a faint planchet lamination from the rim left of the date through stars 1 & 2 to the dentils at star 3 and a thin, curved struck-through line in the field over the bust (caused by a piece of lint on the die). Might benefit from a proper bath to remove some loose debris on both sides. An attractive example of this very rare Pattern that uses a large cent obverse of the Mature Head design (1843-1857) mated with a new reverse die with a value of TEN CENTS. Our grade is Proof-62.
