View details and enlarged photos	Realized $403
Lot 282		1796 Draped Bust Cent. . S-110, R3+. VG-8 Plus. Slightly sharper with smooth, attractive surfaces, but there are two small rim bruises under the date and another over TA in STATES.

Lot 286		1796 Draped Bust Cent. . S-119, R3. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Frosty steel brown with peeps of faded mint red remaining in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a small spot of darker toning in the hair under BE in LIBERTY and a shallow planchet flake in the field left of the lower curls. There are some of the ever-present small planchet chips scattered about both sides, mostly on the portrait and wreath where tiny planchet imperfections didn't completely strike out. Otherwise the strike is sharp and the eye appeal is quite nice. Late die state, Breen state III, with small but clear rim cud breaks at TAT in STATES and a couple strong die cracks at the bottom of the obverse. Most likely from the famous Nichols Hoard of mint state 1796 and 1797 cents. This hoard comes from a bag of cents purchased directly from the mint in 1797 by Benjamin Goodhue, a member of the Continental Congress.

There are traces of microscopic roughness in the fields and protected areas, including a small area of shallow verdigris in the field left of the lower curls, but overall the surfaces are decent. Light contact marks consistent with the grade are scattered about both sides, including a nick on the right foot of the L in LIBERTY. The date is virtually complete, only the very bottom of the digits starting to flow into the rim below, thanks mostly to being struck very slightly off center to the bottom. The overdate is obvious. The legends are complete and clear. MDS, Breen die state II. Estimated Value $2,500 - 5,000. Ex 1983 EAC Sale, lot 205-Dick Feingold. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,463

Intermediate die state, Breen state III, with some crumbling in the dentils at OF-AM. The shallow lump under the E in CENT is visible. The date is clear although the bottom of the digits fade into the rim below while LIBERTY is bold, as usual for the variety thanks to the dies being out of perfect parallel alignment. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CCW from a normal head-to-foot orientation. Not perfect but still an above average example of this tough date, the toughest of all our cents from 1793 to the present. EAC grade VF20. The Hesselgesser provenance is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 18 in all grades of VF; 1 in EF-40, 1 in AU-50, 1 in AU-55. Estimated Value $12,500 - 25,000. Ex Dr. Hesselgesser. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $25,300

No verdigris, and the remainder of the obverse is smooth and attractive. The date and LIBERTY are clear, only the bottom edge of the date starting to flow into the rim below. The reverse is slightly weaker than the obverse, as usual on this variety, but the legends are complete and easily readable.

Lot 312		1800/179 Dpraped Bust Cent. . S-194 or 195. About Good-3 Obverse Brockage. A couple points sharper with very fine porosity covering much of the planchet, strongest in the field left of the hair ribbon. No marks or verdigris. Rather glossy very dark olive and steel. The date is weak but readable, and the 0 over 9 overdate is clear inside the first 0. Nothing special except that this piece is an obverse brockage. This planchet entered the press while the previously struck cent remained in place. The result was a normal obverse impression on this planchet but the reverse was struck against the previously struck obverse leaving an incuse impression of that obverse. The incuse impression is rotated about 15 degrees relative to the normal one. Well worn but a very rare early cent error. Estimated Value $500 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575

Lot 325		1801. Rare 3-Error Reverse S-218. . S-218, R5+. About Good-3 Error Reverse. Sharpness at least VG10 but there is a strong dent on the fraction that causes an obvious bulge at the top of the head. A smaller dent just left of the C in CENT causes a slight bulge at the hair ribbon. There are a few additional marks of more limited significance on both sides, all consistent with the grade. Rather glossy chocolate brown with a few specks of greenish verdigris in protected areas of the reverse. EDS, Breen die state I. The date is bold and the 3 reverse die-cutter errors are clear, although only the first 0 in the denominator is complete thanks to the big dent. A very rare die variety that is seldom seen with this much detail. Estimated Value $500 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $900
