Lot 1305		Blank Planchets and Scrap from the Crocker Brothers.

These materials were unearthed at the old site of the Crocker Brothers manufacturing operation in Massachusetts. All are corroded and covered with greenish patina from many years of exposure to the elements, but they offer a fitting end to the Ted Naftzger collection of large cents, arguably the finest ever formed. Ted was a friend of mine, he helped me write my books on the subject, and it has been my great pleasure to catalog his cents. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Tony Terranova. View details	Realized $345
