Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 369		1832 N-1 R2 MS63. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Choice lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate with 5% of the mint color remaining on the obverse, 20% on the reverse. Virtually perfect except for a small, shallow planchet flake in the field midway between star 1 and the chin, as struck, and a small spot of very light carbon right of the second S in STATES. Otherwise this cent would deserve a higher grade. E-MDS with fine radial die flowlines covering the fields on both sides. A die crack reaches from the second A in AMERICA through the stem tip and ribbon to the base of UNITED (as always). The two die scratches from the leaf point under the first A in AMERICA are clear. A beautiful cent with outstanding eye appeal. Called MS63 "Choice" and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #35669. Previously removed from a PCGS slab graded MS65BN rather then the present PCGS grade of MS64BN (PCGS label included). Our grade is MS63. Pop 2; 1 in 66. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3219. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Julian Leidman 10/94-Manuel Ahumada, 2006 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 5/6/06:343. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,600
Lot 370		1832 N-1 R2 MS63. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Choice lustrous bluish steel brown with generous traces of faded mint color remaining on the obverse. Satiny and very attractive, virtually flawless. A dull, light rim nick over the right edge of star 7 is a good identifying mark. Nicely struck E-MDS, same as the preceding lot. The fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines but the die scratches from the leaf tip under the first A in AMERICA are clear. Called MS62 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #36264. Our grade is MS63. Pop 2; 1 in 66. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3464. Estimated Value $2,000-UP.

Lot 371		1832 N-1 R2 AU55. Partial Double Profile. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. An attractive mint state cent but it has a dull, light scuff on the chin and a thin nick high on the neck under the earlobe. Lustrous light to medium brown with hints of very faded underlying mint red on the obverse and some small spots of very light carbon on the reverse, mostly in the dentils. Sharply struck MDS. The dies have been lapped and the two die scratches from the leaf tip under the first A in AMERICA are weak but still visible. There is rather strong doubling on the bottom of the nostril, lips, and from the chin to the throat, all from die bounce. Our grade is AU55. Pop 1; 2 in 64; 1 in 66. Only 4 graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #0797. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Doug Bird 12/21/88. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $978
Lot 372		1832 N-2 R3- VF35. VF-35. Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. Smooth surfaces with only a few trivial contact marks, including a thin nick high on the neck at the jawline and another under the tip of the wreath stem. Nicely struck EDS, a very scarce die state for this variety. The die crack at the upper stars is light, the dentils are crisp, and the fields are smooth. Clear evidence of the grossly misplaced S shows in the field left of the first S in STATES. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU50 (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2932. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Garry Fitzgerald 11/13/68-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19974. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 373		1832 N-2 R3- EF45. Misaligned Dies. EF-45. Frosty light brown with steel brown toning on the highpoints and a cloud of darker steel brown toning at F-A. A tiny nick on the cheek and a small spot of reddish brown toning at E in ONE are the notable defects. LDS with the die crack at stars 5-10 strong and all evidence of the misplaced S left of the first S in STATES gone. In addition, a fine but clear die crack from the base of the E in CENT extends into the field just off the left end of the line below CENT. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-4.5. DWH #0800. Estimated Value $450-UP. Ex Russell Wyatt, Superior 9/30/85:565. The Wyatt collection pillbox is included. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $506
Lot 374		1832 N-3 R1 MS60. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown speckled with darker olive and steel tones. There are several tiny ticks on the cheek, a tiny nick between the bottoms of stars 6 & 7, and a small rim nick at star 8. Sharply struck EDS. The dentils are crisp around both sides and the fields are smooth, just starting to display microscopic die flowlines. Our grade is MS60. Pop 1; 1 in 66. DWH #2469. Estimated Value $1,000-UP.

Lot 375		1832 N-3 R1 AU50. PCGS graded MS-61 Brown. Glossy steel brown and chocolate with traces of frosty lighter brown in some protected areas. The only contact mark is a very light rim bruise at CA. Possibly lightly cleaned and retoned, but the eye appeal is excellent. A speck of darker toning under star 7 and another at the left top of in ONE contain traces of very fine carbon. M-LDS. The fields are flowlined and the rims are starting to dish at the dentil tips. The reverse is now rotated 30 degrees CW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Our grade is AU50. Pop 1; 1 in 62; 1 in 66. DWH #0803. Estimated Value $400-UP.
