Lot 129		1792 Pattern Half Disme. Silver, reeded edge. . Judd 7, Breen 1360. VF-20 but plugged. Light silvery gray with hints of yellowish steel toning in protected areas. No roughness, planchet defects, or significant contact marks. Lightly cleaned and delicately retoned following expert repair of a hole at the Y in INDUSTRY. The Y and adjacent L in LIB plus the opposing F in OF and first A in AMERICA were carefully reengraved to match the original letters, and the work was accomplished with great skill. As Walter Breen explained in his encyclopedia, "Many are holed and plugged." The obverse is nicely struck and well centered on the planchet, but the reverse is misaligned a bit to K-5 causing relative weakness on the lower right portion of that side. A few letters in the denomination are weak, but everything else is strong. The half disme has the distinction of being the first United States silver coin made for general circulation. The historical record indicates $100 in silver bullion was deposited with the newly authorized US Mint by General George Washington for the express purpose of striking these half disme coins. General Washington made reference to these half disme's in his fourth annual address as President on November 6, 1792, there indicating a quantity of pieces had been struck for release to the public. Here is your opportunity to own one of those pieces, arguably the most important type coin in American numismatic history. Weight 19.6 grains. Estimated Value $35,000 - 45,000.

Lot 130		1793 Basal State-1. . C-1 or C-2 Rarity-3. Rather glossy steel brown and chocolate with splashes of reddish chocolate brown, mostly on the reverse. The surfaces are smooth and free of significant marks, just heavily worn and probably retoned. The date is faint but readable with some effort and the portrait is relatively clear, but the reverse is worn smooth so the precise die variety is unknown. The edge is beveled at the upper left of the reverse obliterating the HU in HUNDRED but the remainder of the edge lettering is readable. The obverse grades a solid Fair-2 but the reverse is a 0 (if such a grade exists). Estimated Value $300 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242
Lot 131		1793 Flowing Hair Half Cent. . C-2, R3. PCGS graded AU-53. Glossy light to medium steel brown with olive brown toning in the protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and very attractive, free of any hint of corrosion or verdigris. Sharply struck very slightly off center to K-4. A tiny diagonal nick in the field midway between the chin and lower end of the pole is the best identifying mark, and it is barely visible. A very attractive example of our first federal half cent. Intermediate die state with the reverse rotated 35 degrees CW. EAC grade EF40+, close to EF45. The Garrett/Hesselgesser provenance is noted on the PCGS grading label. Pop 8, 46 finer. Estimated Value $20,000 - 35,000. Ex Harold P. Newlin collection-T. Harrison Garrett, Bowers & Ruddy 11/28/79:1-Dr. Hesselgesser. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $42,550

Lot 137		1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. . C-3a, R5. VG-8 Clipped Planchet. A few points sharper but covered with many very tiny nicks, none notable but too many to ignore. A couple fine diagonal marks on the cheek may be pre-striking planchet voids, but they still count. Mostly glossy chocolate brown with some reddish chocolate mixed in on the obverse. The date and legends are complete and easily readable. A planchet clip affects the dentils below the date and over ST in STATES. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The reverse is rotated 40 degrees CW.

No verdigris, but the patina is rather thick. The only notable mark is a dull dig at the rim left of the bottom of the cap. The date and legends are complete and easily readable, and most of the large edge lettering is clear.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,900
Lot 140		1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. . C-6a, R5+. VG-8.

A faint hairline scratch down from the cap is the only notable sign of contact, and it is barely visible. Slightly glossy steel brown and chocolate with reddish brown tints in protected areas. The reverse is slightly misaligned to K-5 causing weakness at the fraction, but everything else is complete and clear, and the date is bold. Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000.

Lot 142		1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent. . C-9, R2. Good-5 Plus, High-Relief Head. Glossy dark chocolate brown. The surfaces appear smooth to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals uniform extremely faint roughness covering the reverse. No verdigris, and the only mark is a faint horizontal hairline scratch through the bottom of the cap. The obverse is a bit stronger than the reverse showing a bold date and LIBERTY, but the upper right half of the reverse is weak due to being misaligned in that direction. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Estimated Value $200 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 143		1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. . C-1, R2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown Lettered Edge. Frosty reddish steel brown and chocolate with traces of iridescent bluish steel toning in protected areas of the obverse. Sharply struck showing very crisply defined details on both sides, but the surfaces are a bit dull thanks to a thin layer of natural oxidation. The only marks are a tiny nick in the field left of the cap and a small, shallow planchet flake touching the left side of the 9 in the date. Both marks are visible only with the aid of a glass and the eye appeal of this piece is excellent. Early die state, Manley state 1.0. EAC grade MS60. The Hesselgesser provenance is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 3; 1 in 64 BN, 1 in 66 BN and 1 in 67 BN. Estimated Value $10,000 - 20,000. Ex Dr. Hesselgesser. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

M-LDS, Manley state 4.0, with swelling at the 18 in the date. Double struck. The reverse was struck twice by the die, but the offset between impressions was less than a half millimeter. Nonetheless, doubling is clear on the entire wreath and legend. The obverse, however, was struck against a new blank planchet rather than the obverse die during the second strike creating an incuse brockage impression on that planchet.
