Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 2239		1793 C-1 R3+. Fair-2. The obverse is AG3 while the reverse is considerably weaker and grades only Basal State-1. The date, LIBERTY, and the portrait are clear, but no more than a third of the reverse legends remain visible, and even those parts are weak. The planchet is slightly rough in protected areas but mostly smooth elsewhere. No verdigris, and the only significant contact marks are a few short pinscratches under the date. Basically this piece is just heavily worn, and the easily readable date is a big plus at this grade level. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,150
Lot 2240		1793 C-4 R3. Sharpness VF25 or slightly better but dark olive and steel with uniform extremely faint granularity covering the planchet. No verdigris, and the only marks are a few very tiny planchet flakes in the field right of the base of the cap and on the rim over the Y in LIBERTY, as struck. Satiny frost covers the planchet, and the eye appeal is quite nice in spite of the dark toning. Well struck MDS, Manley state 2.0. The date and legends are bold. Our grade is net VF20. Estimated Value $3,000-UP. The Leo Wexler Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,475
Lot 2241		1794 C-4a R3. Fine-12. Small Edge Letters. Sharpness VF30 but very lightly corroded leaving fine granularity in the fields and protected areas on both sides. No contact marks. The highpoints and devices are slightly glossy chocolate brown while dark olive toning covers most of the fields and protected areas. The date is bold and the legends are strong. LDS, Manley state 4.0, with obvious swelling in the field under the cap. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $978
Lot 2242		1794 C-5a R4+. Fine-12. Small Edge Letters. Sharpness F15 or slightly better but extremely fine granularity covers the fields and protected areas on both sides, strongest on the reverse. No verdigris or notable marks other than a minor planchet clip (as struck) affecting the dentils over the top of the cap. Rather glossy dark olive with light chocolate brown toning covering the highpoints. The two-tone appearance is attractive and the contrast accents the devices and legends. The date and legends are complete and strong. Rare LDS, Manley state 2.0, showing strong die clashmarks around the portrait. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CW from a normal head-to-foot die orientation. A decent mid-grade example of this tough variety. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,725
Lot 2243		1794 C-6a R5+. Good-5. Small Edge Letters. Sharpness F15 but the obverse is lightly corroded while the reverse is covered with moderate to severe corrosion that distorts some of the details on that side. No notable signs of verdigris and only a few minor contact marks, including a dull rim nick left of the cap. The date is complete and easily readable and the portrait is clear. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $483
Lot 2244		1794 C-9 R2. Good-6 Plus. Several points sharper but covered with uniform microscopic roughness. No marks or verdigris. Dark steel and olive shifting to chocolate brown on some of the highpoints. The date is bold and the legends are complete. EDS, Manley state 1.0, with the obverse die uncracked. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $460
Lot 2245		1794 C-9 R2. VG-10. Attractive glossy medium brown. No roughness or verdigris, only a few trivial contact marks. Excellent balance and eye appeal for the grade. The date is and legends are complete and clear. LDS, Manley state 3.0, with a strong die crack from the rim through the cap. Estimated Value $300-UP. The Leo Wexler Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,495
Lot 2246		1795 C-4 R3 PCGS "Genuine." Sharpness VF35 or slightly better but lightly cleaned and nicely retoned glossy dark olive and chocolate brown with frost showing in the protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a very faint diagonal hairline on the cheek and a few of the usual microscopic pre-striking planchet chips on the portrait. None of these marks is visible without a strong glass and the eye appeal of this piece is excellent. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The swelling in the field before the portrait is obvious. Nicely struck everywhere except inside the wreath where HALF CENT is weak or gone, as usual in the later die state. A very nice example in spite of the "Genuine" assessment from the folks at PCGS. Our grade is net VF30. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,668
Lot 2247		1795 C-4 R3. Good-6. Punctuated Date. Plain Edge with Pole. The obverse is very slightly sharper while the reverse is a bit weaker. Smooth and quite attractive for the grade. Void of any hint of corrosion or verdigris, and the only marks are a few faint, old scratches in the field off the lower curls. The date is bold and the legends are complete except for weakness at D-S and HALF CENT. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with swelling in the field before the mouth. Estimated Value $250-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $604
Lot 2248		1795 C-5b Thick Planchet R4. VF-25. Struck on a thick planchet cut-down from a spoiled large cent. Weight is 113.2 grains, which is in the middle of the 98 to 123 grain range for the thick planchet version of the variety as reported by Ron Manley in his book on US Half Cents. (The weight standard for the more common thin planchet version is 84 grains.) This piece is slightly sharper than the assigned grade, especially on the obverse, but it was lightly cleaned and has retoned a very attractive uniform light chocolate and steel brown. Otherwise this piece is nearly choice. The surfaces are smooth and display no flaws or contact marks visible without the aid of a strong glass. The date is a bit weakly impressed, as usual for the thick planchet version, but it is complete and easily readable. HALF CENT is weak due to die failure in the central part of the reverse, and the dentils are not struck up near the Y in LIBERTY and at the opposing area right of the fraction due to a slightly beveled planchet in that area. The remainder of the legend and devices are strong. This is an above average example of the scarce thick planchet version and the eye appeal is excellent for the grade, especially on the obverse. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,680
Lot 2249		1795 C-6a R2. Good-5. Plain Edge without Pole. Struck over 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Several points sharper but covered with very fine granularity, strongest on the reverse where there are traces of greenish olive verdigris and a couple shallow fissures filled with reddish slag. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel. The date is relatively weak but complete and easily readable while the legends are strong. Traces of the TAL Cent undertype are visible left of the date and below the 5 where the RK of NEW YORK is located. EDS, Manley state 1.0. Struck slightly off center to K-8. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $529
Lot 2250		1797 C-1 R2. VG-10. 1 Above 1 Variety. Choice glossy chocolate brown. Smooth, very attractive surfaces. A shallow scuff in the field off the tip of the lowest curl and a thin diagonal nick located in this scuffed area are the only marks. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. Numerous fine die cracks have formed on the obverse and swelling shows at the top of the cap and at RTY. The date is bold and the 1 above 1 feature is obvious. The legends are strong. A very attractive example for the grade. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 2251		1797 C-2 R3. VG-8. Slightly sharper but covered with microscopic granularity and there is a shallow scrape on the top of the cap. Some faint hairline scratches are hidden in the patina on the obverse. The date and legends are complete and strong. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive with chocolate toning on the highpoints. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 2252		1797 C-2 R3. VG-7. A point or two sharper but there are some old scratches on both sides. Most of these scratches are faint, but there is a more-obvious dull one in the field before the forehead. No verdigris. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel with chocolate highpoints. The date is strong and the legends are complete. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 2253		1800 C-1 R2. NGC graded MS-62 Red & Brown. Lustrous bright original mint red fading to bluish steel on the devices, about two-thirds of the original mint color remaining. This piece has the look of a flashy gem to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals that both sides are covered with very tiny nicks suggesting it was mixed with other coins during transport over a bumpy road. None of these ticks is significant in its own right, but there are far too many to ignore. Otherwise the only defect is a splash of microscopic specks of dark toning at the date. LDS, Manley state 5.0. The die crack through the E in UNITED is strong and connects to the wreath below. This piece may be from one of the two small hoards of mint state 1800 half cents discovered in the New England area in the early 1900's. Our grade is MS60. Estimated Value $4,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,220
Lot 2254		1800 C-1 R2. EF-40. Ten points sharper but there are a couple tiny specks of greenish verdigris at BE in LIBERTY and another tiny one at the top of the E in STATES. Otherwise the planchet is perfectly void of roughness or verdigris. An arcing fine line from a stray planchet cutter impression shows on the bust over the second 0 in the date and another similar arc is located right of the F in OF. Otherwise this piece is choice. Frosty olive and steel brown with lighter reddish steel toning from very faded mint color showing in protected areas on both sides. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. Minor doubling shows on the date and parts of the profile due to die bounce. Estimated Value $300-UP. The Leo Wexler Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $506
Lot 2255		1802/0 C-2 R3. VG-7. Overdate 2 over 0. Glossy chocolate and steel with a splash of reddish chocolate toning on the E in CENT. Smooth and attractive for the grade with only trivial contact marks consistent with the grade, none notable or distracting. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The dies are uncracked and the overdate feature is bold. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,553
Lot 2256		1803 C-2 R4. Good-5. A couple points sharper with a half dozen shallow pitmarks on both sides. The remainder of the planchet displays microscopic granularity, but there is no verdigris. An old hairline scratch from the lower end of the hair ribbon is the only notable sign of contact. Dark steel and olive. The date and legends are complete and clear. Terminal die state, Manley state 7.0. A strong cud break connects STATE to the rim above. Estimated Value $60-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $138
Lot 2257		1804 C-6 R2. PCGS graded AU-55. Spiked Chin. Frosty chocolate brown and steel with wisps of darker olive and steel on the obverse. Satiny luster shows in protected areas on both sides. Excellent eye appeal. Just a light touch of friction on the highpoints and a few microscopic contact marks, none notable. Nicely struck EDS, Manley state 1.0. The Spiked Chin feature is obvious. Our grade is EF45+, close to AU50. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,064
Lot 2258		1804 C-6 R2. Fine-15. Spiked Chin. Ten points sharper with numerous fine hairline scratches on the obverse, all well hidden in the glossy dark bluish steel and olive toning. A short line of shallow pinpricks under the T in CENT is the only other significant sign of contact. Looks better than the grade and description might imply. EDS, Manley state 2.0. Fine die cracks extend through the top of the reverse legend, but there are no cud breaks. The Spiked Chin feature is obvious. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $230
Lot 2259		1804 C-7 R4. VG-10. Spiked Chin. Glossy steel and chocolate. No roughness or verdigris, only a few minor contact marks. The notable marks are a nick on the top of the 0 in the date and a dull scratch blended perfectly into the natural toning in the field left of the middle curls. E-MDS, Manley state 4.0, which he says is very rare. Fine die cracks show at ATE, OF, and MER, but there are no cud breaks. An attractive example of this rare die state of a very tough variety. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Tom Reynolds 12/03. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $891
Lot 2260		1804 C-8 R1. PCGS graded AU-50. Spiked Chin. Glossy steel and chocolate brown with very faded red from an old cleaning visible in protected areas, mostly on the reverse. The only marks are a couple tiny spots of shallow verdigris or crud under TE in STATES. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The die crack from the dentils to the top of the R in AMERICA is faint, barely visible even with a strong glass. Our grade is net EF40. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 2261		1804 C-8 R1. EF-45 Plus. Spiked Chin. Frosty light steel brown fading to chocolate on the devices. Excellent eye appeal, just a few trivial ticks from perfect. Very close to AU50. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The Spiked Chin feature is obvious. Estimated Value $300-UP. The Leo Wexler Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,093
Lot 2262		1804 C-8 R1. EF-40 Plus. Spiked Chin. Slightly sharper and quite attractive, but there is a fine pinscratch in the field left of the lower curls. Otherwise this piece is virtually void of defects. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown with frosty tan faded down from mint color covering the protected areas on both sides. A splash of darker chocolate brown toning at the H in HALF extends into the wreath. MDS, Manley state 3.0. A dull die crack passes through the top of LIBERTY into the field beyond the Y and the die crack to the top of the R in AMERICA is strong. The Spiked Chin feature is strong. A nice piece, close to EF45. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Tom Reynolds 10/94. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $771
Lot 2263		1804 C-8 R1. Fine-12. Spiked Chin. Glossy steel and olive brown. Smooth and attractive, but a couple planchet flakes on either side of the hair ribbon keep this piece from a slightly higher grade. Extremely rare terminal die state, Manley state 6.0 late, with a fully raised cud break at LIBE. While many examples are known with a partially raised retained cud break in this area, this one shows a complete cud. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $311
Lot 2264		1804 C-11 R2 Plain 4 with Stems. VF-30. Sharpness EF40 or slightly better but faint hairline scratches cover the highpoints on both sides. None of these marks is visible without the aid of a strong glass, and the eye appeal of this piece remains excellent. A dull rim nick right of the forehead and a tiny planchet flake at the rim left of the lowest curl are the other notable marks. Frosty chocolate brown. EDS, Manley state 1.0, with the wreath and HALF CENT well struck. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $748
Lot 2265		1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems. VF-35. Choice glossy light olive and chocolate brown. Smooth and quite attractive. A small planchet chip in the dentils at the U in UNITED is the only notable mark. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $483
Lot 2266		1805 C-1 R2-. NGC graded AU-55. Glossy mix of light chocolate and darker olive brown. The surfaces are smooth and void of any notable marks. This piece was double struck in the collar. The first strike was normal but the coin failed to eject before a second planchet was inserted into the press. This piece was struck a second time on the obverse by the obverse die but the reverse was pressed against the new blank planchet creating an incuse reverse impression on that planchet (a reverse brockage). The second obverse impression is rotated 30 degrees clockwise relative to the first, and a clear impression of Ms. Liberty's profile from the first strike shows on the face and hair of the second strike. Additional evidence of the first strike can be found elsewhere on Ms. Liberty, but the rotated profile on her face is obvious to the unaided eye. A beautiful example of an early mint error. Our grade is EF40+. The double struck with rotation feature is noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,680
Lot 2267		1805 C-1 R2-. VF-30. Stemless Wreath. Very attractive glossy chocolate and olive with slightly lighter brown toning in protected areas around the portrait. Frosty flowline luster covers the protected areas, especially on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal. A faint hairline from the earlobe down to the shoulder is the only notable defect, and it is barely visible with a glass. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with a thin rim cud break right of the fraction. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 2268		1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems. Good-5. Slightly sharper with microscopic granularity covering the planchet, strongest on the reverse, plus a few fine hairline scratches on the portrait and a single scratch along the top of the wreath. The scratches are old and blend perfectly into the natural toning. No verdigris. Dark steel and chocolate brown, the obverse rather glossy while the reverse is matte. The date is bold and the legends are clear. LDS, Manley state 2.0. Obvious swelling show in the field before the portrait. Estimated Value $350-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575
Lot 2269		1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems. About Good-3. A couple points sharper but lightly corroded and myriad fine hairline scratches cover the portrait. No verdigris or additional marks. Slightly glossy olive with chocolate and steel toning covering the devices. The date and legends are clear except for weakness at UNITED. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with swelling in the field before the portrait. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $161
Lot 2270		1805 C-4 R2-. VF-25. Large 5. Five points sharper with a few too many light contact marks for the higher grade. None of these marks is at all distracting and the eye appeal of this piece remains excellent. Glossy chocolate and olive brown, the obverse delicately mottled with lighter brown and reddish chocolate. Nicely struck LDS, Manley state 2.0. Several die cracks show on the obverse, including one through the bust tip. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $380
Lot 2271		1806 C-2 R4 Small 6 with Stems. Good-6. Clipped Planchet. Glossy chocolate brown. Nice eye appeal, just a few minor contact marks on relatively smooth surfaces. A fine vertical hairline scratch in the curls is the only notable defect. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The date is strong and the legends are clear. A small curved planchet clip affects the rim just right of the Y in LIBERTY and the opposing rim at RIC. An attractive lower grade example of the popular Small 6 with Stems variety; the mint error is a bonus. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $288
Lot 2272		1806 C-2 R4 Small 6 with Stems. Good-6. Very slightly sharper but there are a half dozen fine, old pinscratches in the obverse fields, plus a minor rim bruise at the T in LIBERTY. Otherwise this piece is smooth and choice for the grade. Glossy chocolate brown. The date and legends are all strong. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with die clashmarks at RT in LIBERTY. A decent lower grade example of this popular "Redbook" type. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $265
Lot 2273		1807 C-1 R1. NGC graded VF-30. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel. The only notable marks are a small planchet chip on the forehead and another near the dentils right of the Y in LIBERTY, both as struck. The surfaces are slightly dull but there is no corrosion and the eye appeal is decent. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. Struck 10% off center to K-6.5 leaving the lower half of the date off the planchet. Our grade is VF20. The attribution and off center feature are noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,760
Lot 2274		1808/7 C-2 R3. VG-8. Overdate 8 over 7. A couple points sharper with faint roughness well hidden under a glossy dark olive and steel patina. No marks or verdigris.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $489
Lot 2275		1808/7 C-2 R3. Good-4. Overdate 8 over 7. Slightly glossy steel brown with darker steel and olive toning in protected areas. The fields and protected areas are covered with extremely fine roughness while the devices are smooth. No verdigris, a rim nick under the right edge of the date being the only mark. The date is clear and the overdate feature is visible. The legends are complete except for S-OF, which are faint at best. EDS, before any obvious die cracks on the obverse. Estimated Value $50-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $161
Lot 2276		1808/7 C-2 R3. Good-6. Overdate 8 over 7. A couple points sharper with fine roughness covering the fields and protected areas while the devices are mostly smooth. No verdigris, and the only mark is a rim bruise at ER in AMERICA. Rather glossy steel and olive, the devices a bit lighter shade than the protected areas. The date and legends are complete and clear, and the overdate is obvious. M-LDS, Manley state 3.0. A strong cud break joins TY to the rim. Comes with an impressive provenance. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Roger Cohen fixed price list 10/72-R. Tettenhorst, 2002 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 4/20/02:61. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $748
Lot 2277		1808 C-3 R1. NGC graded VG-10. Glossy olive, steel, and chocolate brown. Looks choice to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals many faint hairline scratches on both sides, none significant. MDS, Manley state 3.0. What makes this otherwise generic half cent special is the bold double strike that left strong evidence of the initial strike on both sides. Both strikes were within the confines of the collar of the press, but the planchet rotated about 40 degrees clockwise between impressions. The profile of Ms Liberty from the first strike shows clearly on the face and hair of the second strike, and two fractions show on the reverse. Ample additional evidence of the first strike is visible as well, especially on the reverse. Another very interesting early half cent error in this sale. Our grade is F12. The attribution and double struck with rotation features are noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,440
Lot 2278		1809 C-1 R4. Good-4. Glossy olive brown and chocolate. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth. No verdigris or marks. The date is clear and the legends are complete. A well balanced example, rather nice for the grade. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with a die crack through the top of MERI. Estimated Value $250-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $288
Lot 2279		1809 C-3 R1. MS-60. Lustrous chocolate and light greenish olive brown with faded mint red showing in protected areas on the obverse. Great eye appeal.

The Leo Wexler Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,668
Lot 2280		1809/6 C-5 R1. EF-45 Plus. Overdate 9 over 6 (or inverted 9). Choice glossy chocolate brown with frosty flowline luster covering the protected areas on both sides.

Lot 2282		1810 C-1 R1. CGA graded AU-55. Frosty chocolate and olive brown with traces of lustrous lighter reddish steel brown faded down from mint red on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal, just a few microscopic ticks and planchet flakes on the reverse from choice. Nicely struck except for minor weakness at AMERICA. MDS with the reverse rotated 45 degrees CCW from the normal head-to-foot die orientation. The repunching at the left base of the 0 in the date is clear. A very nice example of the date. Our grade is EF45+, close to AU50. Estimated Value $600-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,265
Lot 2283		1811 C-1 R4. Good-5. Slightly sharper but covered with very fine granularity, strongest on the reverse. There is a dull vertical scratch down from the N in CENT and traces of shallow reddish verdigris can be found on that side. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel. The date is bold and the legends are clear except for weakness at UNITED caused by the opposing cud. LDS, Manley state 5.0, with a strong cud break that joins stars 1-4 to the rim. Estimated Value $250-UP. Ex Tom Reynolds 4/98. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $431
Lot 2284		1811 C-2 R3. Fine-12. Sharpness near VF20 but there are faint hairline scratches hidden in the natural toning on both sides. Otherwise the only marks are a dull horizontal nick on the cheek and a tiny rim bruise above the back of the head. Glossy dark chocolate brown and olive. Nicely struck early die state.

Lot 2285		1811 C-2 R3. VG-7. Rather glossy dark steel and olive brown shifting to chocolate on the devices. No marks or verdigris. The fields and protected areas are less glossy than the devices thanks to uniform extremely faint roughness, but overall this is a nice example for the grade. The date is bold and the legends are complete (although the left edge of the reverse is relatively weak, as always on this variety). Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Tom Reynolds 4/98. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $748
Lot 2286		1811 C-2 R3. VG-7. Very slightly sharper with extremely faint porosity covering the planchet. No marks or verdigris, and the eye appeal is quite nice for the grade.
