Lot 190		1825 N-1 R4 EF45. EF-45. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown with frosty luster peeking through in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a small, dull nick that flattens the tip of the nose plus several tiny ticks in the field to the left. The surfaces are mostly smooth and offer excellent eye appeal, but a strong glass reveals traces of extremely fine roughness in a few places, including the cheek and around star 5. The reverse is choice. Sharply struck MDS with the usual die crack through the base of the date and fine radial die flowlines that cover the fields. Called AU55 net VF35 by Noyes and tied for CC#10, his photo #59217. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS62BN (PCGS label included). DWH #2668. Estimated Value $4,000-UP.

Lot 191		1825 N-1 R4 VG8. VG-8. Sharpness F12 but covered with light to moderate porosity, strongest on the obverse. No verdigris. The only mark is a light rim bruise left of star 2. Slightly glossy steel brown and chocolate. M-LDS with a narrow rim cud break from star 8 to over star 9, and this cud extends slightly inside the dentil tips. A very rare intermediate die state, the only one seen as all the others have an extension to well left of star 8. DWH #0584. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex 1984 EAC Sale, lot 237.

Lot 192		1825 N-1 R4 VF20. VF-20. Sharpness VF35 but the obverse was burnished to remove some marks in the field before the portrait. The work was done with some skill and both sides are nicely retoned a glossy dark chocolate and steel brown. Softly struck at stars 3-5 and in the opposing area at TED-S, but the right sides are sharply impressed. LDS (but not the latest) with a rim cud break that drops down into the field at stars 7.5 to above star 9, and that cud is strong on this example. Removed from an NCS slab graded EF details burnished (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2913. Estimated Value $1,000-UP.

Lot 194		1825 N-2 R2. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. A mint state cent that is covered with attractive satiny luster, but there are a few small, shallow planchet flakes on the obverse that catch the eye and disturb the otherwise outstanding eye appeal. These flakes are located in the middle of the neck, in the field over the bust tip, and on the tip of the nose. Otherwise this cent is choice. Lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate. M-LDS. A fine die crack reaches from the bust tip and touches the peak of the 1 before reaching the dentils left of the date, another fine crack extends down from the dentils touching the lower left point of star 7 and passes through the I and eye before ending on the nostril, and a light die crack connects the wreath stem to the rim below. The obverse rim cuds of the late state have not formed. Called AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#13 in the Noyes census, his photo #32145. Our grade is AU55. Pop 2; 1 in 64; 1 in 65.
