Lot 1493
1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain reverse, "AMERICA" in legend. PCGS graded VF-20 Brown. Nice even brown toning. This is Sheldon-3 with a close date and no periods. The R in LIBERTY leans precariously to the right and is out of alignment with the curve of the other letters. The surface is light brown on the worn areas of the profile, then deepens to somewhat roughish steel brown to greenish brown in the fields. The obverse rim is choice while there is some minor injury to the reverse rim above UNITED; also ONE CENT has come in for its share of rough handling, but is still clear and readable for the most part. An historic and scarce early Large Cent; one of the most challenging Types in the series, which extended from 1793 until 1857 (PCGS # 1341) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 23,000.

1798 Draped Bust Cent. Style 1 hair. NGC graded MS-62 Brown. Nice brown example with glossy golden red accents plus a little steel blue verdigris around LIB of LIBERTY. Some normal slight handling marks on the main device and in the fields. The apparent line in the right obverse field is actually a die break connecting T and Y of LIBERTY then extending in a shallow arc well into the field, where it disappears about on a level with Liberty's nose. Scarce in this grade; large cents struck in 1798 are from two main head punches, with this Style 2 revealing an extra curl above the 1 of the date (PCGS # 1431) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,300.

1804 Draped Bust Cent. NGC graded Good-6 Brown. Deep steel to gunmetal blue with patches of aged brown at the peripheral areas. Sheldon-266, there is only the single die variety this year, with production of 756,838 pieces indicating it was used much longer than average. The present coin has die breaks at the rim on both sides (State III) and is well worn into some of the reverse legend where D-STATES-O is weak or no longer readable. Many 1804 large cents were cleaned at some time in the past.

1840 Coronet Head Cent. Small date. NGC graded N-2 Proof 63 Brown SM/LG 8. Well struck and toned, with the colors expanding from golden shades of old coppery fire to dullish steel brown hues. There are no handling marks or rim bruises on this lovely Proof which has broad square rims and needle-sharpness throughout. Each star comes 100% complete; Liberty's braided hair and hair bun impossible to describe other than to suggest you study the photograph to better enjoy the depth of strike it received from the special Proof dies. There is a toning hairline extending out to the rim from the back of the shoulder (as pictured); otherwise it might obtain a Proof 64 qualification. Pp 1; the only one graded by NGC.

Blundered die, small straight date over larger 18 leaning to right The die was originally dated 18-in expectation of use either in 1839 or 1840, but by the time the Engraving Department got around to using it, the individual large date punches had been abandoned in favor of the small date logotype or gangpunch. About 14 or 15 Proofs are known, possibly slightly more but only slightly, and it is curious that among all the dozen or so obverses made for this year, the one with a naked-eye blunder would have been chosen for making Proofs. Some specimens have touches of fiery brilliance like the 1841s and the half cents of this year.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.

1856 Coronet Head Cent. Slanting 5. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. A lustrous example that has luster like glowing coals with rich deep copper-red color. The devices were struck with much determined force by the dies, at least so far as the centers go; however, a few of the stars are typically flat and lack central radials between the star points (PCGS # 1924) .

1856 Flying Eagle Cent. NGC graded Proof 65. Medium gold with sparkling reddish accents in the sheltered areas. A boldly made gem with all of the design features crisp and detailed, including the eagle's tail feathers and the tiny details in the reverse agricultural wreath, the eagle's neck feathers and wings, and especially noteworthy, the area around the eagle's head. From the evidence we see, the present gem is among the two dozen finest Proofs of the date certified by NGC. Proof or Mint State? Though reportedly produced in Proof and circulation strike format, 1856 Flying Eagle cents seldom are that easy to differentiate when attributing. Indeed, over the course of several years in the late 1850s, some 1,500 to 2,000 (or more) examples of the date were secretly made and distributed to supporters of the new small-sized cent as well as to friends and customers of the Mint. Even the so-called Proofs are seldom found with deep reflectivity in the fields, so one's guess is as good as another's where actual production is concerned. Just the same, one thing is always constant with 1856 Flying Eagles: they always draw a lot of attention and seldom change hands without a stretch of heavy bidding. We know more than one connoisseur will be interested in the final outcome of this lot (PCGS # 2037) .

The handsome Longacre first "cereal wreath" which is used on the flying eagle cents, the gold dollars (type 2 and 3) as well as the $3 gold pieces, is comprised of corn, wheat, cotton and tobacco. His second wreath, used on numerous pattern coins as well as the half dimes and dimes during his tenure in office, is comprised of cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, corn, wheat and oak leaves. This is the first design of a cereal wreath created by the Mint's chief engraver, 1844-69.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 24,000.

1857 Flying Eagle Cent. PCGS graded MS-64. A lustrous example that has shimmering coppery tan-red surfaces from the interplay of the 88% coppery allow mixd with 12% nickel. When bright new and fresh off the dies, collectors called these "white cents" - but as toning was acquired, the surface blossomed into a variety of warm hues, one of which is seen here (PCGS # 2016) .

In correspondence, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, whose designed the lovely high relief $20 gold pieces of 1907, felt that the 1857 Flying Eagle Cent was the finest motif found on any American coin. It is interesting to note that this same motif offered here he used on the Double Eagle half a century later.
Estimated Value $900 - 1,000.

1861 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65. Old green holder. Spot free gem (PCGS # 2256) .

A beautiful Gem with frosted devices and moderately deep mirror fields. No contact marks are present, and only one or two very faint hairlines. That makes this an outstanding example of a really tough date. As occurs with the 1860 Proof, many coins struck this year were struck only once on moderately mirrored dies. This lack of standardization at the Mint has made this a difficult issue to locate in gem condition. Out on an original mintage of 1,000 pieces, perhaps 400 were released. The survivor rate seems to be low as well, with many substandard examples spent or included collections as non-Proofs.

There is enormous collector demand for the 1861 in gem Proof condition. Expect some healthy competition for this beauty.

The number of copper-nickel cents in the country at the outbreak of the war was not far from 100,000,000. These had been forced into circulation by exchange for Spanish silver coins, as well as by sales for gold and silver coins of the United States, until they flooded the channels of retail trade, became a public nuisance, and sold at a discount in the cities. The repeal of the law authorizing the exchange for Spanish fractions had greatly reduced their coinage, and in 1861 only enough circulation strikes were produced to replace the old copper coins returned for redemption, which explains the low mintage.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.

1865 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red & Brown. Nicely toned. Pop 61; 17 in 65RB; 3 in 66RB. Whatever arrangements in the toning Nature provides, it surely cannot surpass the lovely purples and blues of this radiant specimen. This is a very difficult date to find full red, but who cares, given the wealth of colors offered here. Like many other dates in this series, the rarity of 1865 struck in Proof format has no relation to the rarity of the regular issues. Non-Proofs are fairly common for this date. Not so for the Proofs. The mintage currently given in references is 500, which may be generous (PCGS # 2283) .

1867 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. Uniform sunset red color. A beautiful fresh-mirror gem with some cameo-like qualities. This is an exceptional example for this date. Except for a few light hairlines, virtually as struck. The dies used for Proofs this year show many anomalies, which sometimes get mistaken for problems on the coin. On the obverse there is always a die line on the neck, which to the uninitiated eye may look like a scratch. The reverse die is a leftover die used in 1865 and 1866. By its usage in 1867 it has acquired numerous die polishing marks which may look like hairlines. None of these are grade limiting and are on all examples seen to date. PCGS reports 13 with none higher (PCGS # 2290) .

1870 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. Nice Natural red color. Pop 22; 4 in 66RD. Fiery orange toning leaps to the viewer's eye of nearly pristine quality. Given that this is a Proof, everything was struck with exactitude by the dies (PCGS # 2299) .

Many of the dates in the late 1860's and early 1870's are only found with moderately deep mirrors. The reason for this seems to be that the dies were polished after they were hardened, which does not impart as deep a mirror as found on later dates. Additionally the reverse dies were normally held over and used for many years, being repolished many times throughout its life.

1871 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. Lovely shades of green and red brown colors. Great looking proof. Pop 34; 1 in 66RB as finest. An outstanding example of this date. Stunning eye appeal. Virtually perfect surfaces for the Proof 65 grade. All 1871 Indian Cents come with moderate mirrors, and this coin is no exception. The beauty of this example is magnified when you realize how the typical 1871 looks. As in the previous lot, the apparent hairlines on the fields are actually die polish lines imparted at the Mint. These do not limit the grade, however they may have influenced the graders to be a bit too conservative on this example. A wonderful example. The reverse die used on this example is the same as used in 1870. This is a shallow N reverse, which was the old style used prior to this date. Most 1871 non-Proof Indian Cents have the new redesigned reverse which has a bold N in "ONE" (PCGS # 2301) .

1877 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red & Brown. Some mint red visible. Well struck. Popular key date. Pop 113; 52 in 65RB; 4 in 66RB. An very choice example of this key date. As one should expect for a coin in this grade, the surfaces are shimmering. The color is golden red and deep lavender-brown mottled, but this is not grade limiting, rather, it amplifies the appearance. In fact, given the grade, this example is virtually unimprovable without stepping into the Proof 65 category.

Always popular as a Proof example of the key date in the Indian Cent series. No precise mintage figure exists for the Proof 1877 Indian, but enough information is available to make an educated guess. Breen lists 510 in his Proof Encyclopedia. The present estimate is now 910. It is known that 510 "Silver" sets were sold which included the five silver coins, the two nickel coins and the cent. Additionally, there were about 400 "Nickel" sets struck which included just the cent and the two nickel coins, of which we know 260 were mailed out, with the unknown remainder being sold over the counter in Philadelphia (PCGS # 2319) .
