Lot 27		1862 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-64. Nicely toned. Fully original choiceness with warm golden to tan color from the interaction of the atmosphere on the copper and nickel components of this unusually fat (72-grain) cent of the early period. Adequately struck, though perhaps not 100% sharp. It was the hard nickel alloy that was one reason for the mint abandoning the composition in 1864 in favor of French bronze, which has more of the softer copper in the alloy (PCGS # 2064) . Estimated Value $180 - 200. The Victor Kramer Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $242
Lot 28		1863 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-63. Natural toning. A highly original example of the thick copper-nickel cent (72 grains weight, versus 48 grains for the later bronze cents). There is more than a nuance of pale champagne and brown toning on both sides. Struck from typical dies that imported a mostly sharp but occasionally rounded texture (PCGS # 2067) . Estimated Value $100 - 120. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
