Lot 550		1794 S-55 R2 F15. Significantly sharper where properly struck but there is weakness at the bottom of the obverse and the opposing area at the top of the reverse.

Lot 551		1796 S-87 R3 Liberty Cap VG8. Slightly glossy olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. Looks perfectly smooth to the unaided eye but a glass reveals extremely faint granularity in the fields and protected areas. No marks, only traces of dirt in a few places.

Lot 557		1798 S-186 R2 Small 8, Style II Hair PCGS graded MS62 Brown, CAC Approved. Sharpness mint state but it may have been dipped long ago, now toned a very attractive frosty dark steel brown and olive with lustrous very faded red in protected areas. The surfaces are essentially flawless; void of spots, stains, or contact marks. The best identifying mark is a tiny planchet chip near the rim behind the head, as struck. This cent has choice mint state eye appeal, and the PCGS grade and CAC approval reflects the natural look of the toning. Sharply struck M-LDS, Breen state VII, with a strong cud break connecting the 00 in the denominator to the rim below. The very shallow low spot on the bottom of the neck is a die flaw that is always present in the later die states of the variety. Graded AU50 and CC#2 in the 1991 Noyes census, his photo #28217. Our grade is AU55. A solid condition census example of this difficult variety. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 1; only 1 example graded higher in MS-64 BN at PCGS for the variety.

Sharpness VF35 but there is a short scratch in the field near the rim before the face, a minor rim bruise below the 00 in the date, and a small rim bruise or dull rim nick over OF. The scratch does catch your eye but the other defects do not and overall the eye appeal of this cent is nice. Frosty uniform dark steel and olive brown with satiny fields in protected areas. MDS, Breen state III, with an obvious bulge at STAT and die clashmarks on the reverse but no die crack on the obverse. A decent example of a variety that seldom comes this nice; at the lower end of the condition census. Estimated Value $1,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,620
Lot 560		1801 NC-2 R7 Fair-2. Perhaps a point sharper but dark steel and covered with fine roughness mixed with some faint horizontal scratches on the portrait. No verdigris or notable marks. The date is clear and half of the legends on the reverse are easily readable. The cud break at ES-O is clear. This extremely rare variety combines the obverse die that was used to strike the S-219 3-Error Reverse variety and a new reverse die that broke almost immediately when it was placed into service. Only 10 examples of the NC-2 die marriage are known and most of those are in very low grade. The finest grades F15 and brought $16,675 in our sale of the Daniel W.

The only marks, and they are insignificant, are a spot of darker chocolate toning in the field off the end of the nose, a spot of shallow crud nestled into the wreath below TE in UNITED, and a small nick-like planchet chip under the left side of the O in ONE.
