Lot 2191		1816 N-2 R1 Rotated Reverse. MS-60. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with bluish steel overtones on the reverse and a hint of reddish chocolate toning on the cheek. No spots or marks. Late die state with rim cud breaks from star 8 down nearly to star 11 with an additional rim cud break between stars 11 & 12. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees CW from the normal head-to-foot die orientation. The browlock is weakly struck, as usual for this variety, but everything else is sharply impressed. A nice example of this Randall Hoard variety. Estimated Value $400 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 2192		Trio of 1816 Cents. Includes N-4 MDS in VF20, N-5 MDS in VF20, and N-7 LDS in F15. The last 2 are slightly sharper with minor defects. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $100 - 150. View details	Realized $242
Lot 2193		1817 N-5 R3. PCGS graded MS-61 Brown. Frosty chocolate and steel brown with small wisps of darker olive toning on both sides and a small spot of reddish chocolate in the field left of star 12.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $863
Lot 2194		1817 N-8 R2 Finger Mouse Top. EF-45. Close to AU50 with a faint diagonal hairline scratch just left of the earlobe and another between stars 6 & 7. Glossy chocolate brown with flowline luster covering the fields and protected areas on both sides. M-LDS. A short "Finger Mouse" extends up to the left from the top of the head below the left point of star 8. The small patch of fine die roughness in the field under star 5 characteristic of the later die state is visible on this example, but it is not yet strong. There is fine doubling from die bounce on the forelock, tip of the nose, and on the lips, but there is not enough doubling to call this a "double profile." An attractive example of a popular die state. Estimated Value $400 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575
Lot 2195		1817 N-9 R2. AU-58. Lustrous bluish olive and steel. The only mark is a thin horizontal nick on the cheek.

MDS, before the "Mouse Top" break on the top of the head, although the area where the mouse forms is starting to sink. Estimated Value $400 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2196		1817 N-17 R4. Fine-12. Sharpness VF25 but covered with very tiny nicks and pinpricks, and there are traces of extremely fine roughness on the reverse as well.

Lot 2200		1818 N-5 R3. VF-20. Sharpness near VF30 but there are too many light contact marks scattered over both sides for the sharpness grade.

Lot 2220		1825 N-9 R2 Double Struck. NGC graded AU-58. Frosty steel brown with lustrous golden tan faded down from mint color in protected areas and slightly darker steel toning on the highpoints. No defects, only very light friction on the highest points of the design. An attractive cent to start with, and it gets better. This piece was double struck, a feature that could be missed if given only a casual glance. The cent was struck properly but the reverse stuck to the die and a new planchet was inserted at least a third of the way into the press before the two planchets were struck again (second time for the first one, first time for the second one). The second impression caused significant shift doubling on the left side of the reverse, strongest at STATES, ON in ONE, C in CENT, and in the wreath between these areas. On the obverse the new blank planchet left a dull impression arcing from the rim just below star 5 to the face, eye, and bust tip. A very attractive cent and a neat mint error. EAC grade AU50. The double strike feature is noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
