Lot 657		1793 C-4 R3 PCGS graded AU50. Glossy chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning in the protected areas. Excellent eye appeal, although there are a couple marks. The most-notable mark is a foldover planchet lamination reaching down into the field right of the cap. The lamination begins at the rim left of the I in LIBERTY and reaches around the dentil tips to the top of the cap where it turns down into the field. The lamination was struck into the field and now shows only a fine outline at its margins. The only other mark is a tiny scratch off the tip of the bust. The reverse is void of any notable defects. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Tiny lumps caused by die rust are scattered over the obverse, including one up from the top of the 7. Struck slightly off center to K-3 leaving some of the border beads off the planchet on the reverse. A nice example of our first Federal half cent. Our grade is VF35. Pop 16; 70 finer at PCGS in BN. Estimated Value $15,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 658		1794 C-1a R3 Large Edge Letters NGC graded AU58 Brown. Repunched 179. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown and olive. The surfaces are smooth and display only a few trivial marks. A light rim nick off the chin and a vertical nick in the field before the neck are the only notable flaws. Great eye appeal. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. The die clashmark behind the head is faint and the repunching on the 179 is clear. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CW relative to a normal head-to-foot die orientation. Our grade is EF40. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Pop 2; 1 in 62; 1 in 63 at NGC. Estimated Value $8,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 659		1794 C-2a R2+ VF35. Small Edge Letters. Very attractive glossy chocolate and dark steel brown. Smooth and virtually flawless except for a couple minor disturbances on the reverse rim, the strongest being a light rim bruise at the R in AMERICA. Nicely struck and well centered on a solid planchet. MDS, Manley state 3.0, showing clear die clashmarks before the portrait. Superior to the Manley plate coin for the die state. Weight 101.9 grains. Estimated Value $3,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,060
Lot 660		1794 C-8 R5 VF20. Five points sharper but the toning is a bit dark and there are a few very light contact marks on the cheek and chin, all blended perfectly into the natural toning. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive brown. Nicely struck LDS, Manley state 2.0, showing a clear die crack down through the second T in STATES. Not perfect but still quite nice for this very tough die variety. This coin placed 5th in the Half Cent Happening competition at the 2006 EAC Convention, and it ranks among the top 10 of the variety. Weight 105.6 grains. Comes with a nice provenance. Estimated Value $4,000-UP. Ex H. D. Gibbs-New Netherlands Coin Co. 11/28/1952-Robert Schonwalter, Stack's 1/21/03:1092-Russ Butcher. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,900
Lot 661		1794 C-9 R2 G6. The obverse is slightly sharper but the reverse is a bit weaker. Glossy chocolate brown. No corrosion or verdigris, but there are some contact marks. The obverse is very nice except for a pair of old pinscratches and the right half of the reverse is uneven thanks to a few very dull dents. The date and legends are complete except for F-AM, which are faint at best. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The obverse is not cracked. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $604
Lot 662		1795 C-1 R2 Lettered Edge VF25. Sharpness VF30 or slightly better but there are some small dings in the dentils on the obverse, mostly left of the date and above LIBERTY. Otherwise this piece is really nice, virtually flawless. Frosty steel and light chocolate brown. Nicely struck EDS, Manley state 1.0, prior to any die swelling at AME. The edge lettering is complete and bold. Weight 111.6 grains. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,990
Lot 663		1795 C-2a R3 Punctuated date with Lettered Edge VF30. Slightly sharper with a faint, very light vertical scratch down the face into the field under the chin. The scratch barely breaks the toning and is only visible when the light hits at a certain angle. The only other marks are a thin vertical nick on the bottom of the cap and a very light nick on the L in HALF. Otherwise this piece is choice and the eye appeal remains outstanding. Beautiful glossy chocolate brown with hints of frosty luster remaining in the protected areas. LDS, Manley state 3.0, with bulges in the field before the portrait, at AME, and in the center of the reverse. The edge lettering is bold. A truly beautiful example of a variety that is tough to find in high grade. Weight 101.6 grains. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Thomas Brown 6/17/98-Chris Young. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,565
Lot 664		1795 C-2a R3 Punctuated date with Lettered Edge G6. Very slightly sharper but there are myriad fine old scratches on the portrait and in the center of the reverse. All these scratches are light and blend perfectly into the glossy dark olive brown and chocolate patina. The surfaces are decent and reasonably smooth, but a glass reveals uniform extremely fine granularity under the gloss. No verdigris or other marks. The date and legends are strong except for the usual weakness at AME from die swelling associated with the late die state. The edge lettering is complete and clear. LDS, Manley state 3.0. Weight 104.7 grains. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 665		1795 C-3 R5+ Punctuated Date with Plain Edge AG3. Sharpness VG7, even better in some places, but this piece was banged up a bit and the planchet is uneven as a result. In addition, a crude circle was scratched into the center of the obverse. Fortunately the color is an attractive glossy light chocolate brown fading to darker olive brown in protected areas. No corrosion or verdigris. The date and legends are bold except for HALF CENT, which is gone. A tough variety that's seldom offered in any grade. Weight 75.2 grains. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $920
Lot 666		1795 C-4 R3 Punctuated Date with Plain Edge F15. Ten points sharper but covered with extremely fine roughness that's visible only with the aid of a good glass. Slightly glossy olive and steel with lighter chocolate brown toning on the highpoints. No marks or verdigris. This piece offers nice eye appeal in spite of the imperfect surfaces. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The strike is excellent except for some weakness in the center of the reverse, as usual. Weight 78.5 grains. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Superior 9/19/99:345. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,323
Lot 667		1795 C-5b R4 Plain Edge without Pole, Thick Planchet VF25. Sharpness VF30 or slightly better but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy light olive and brown with a hint of sea-green toning at the date. The surfaces are smooth and attractive. The only marks are three small abrasions on the obverse rim, and these are spaced in a way that suggests the marks are from tiny tacks used to hold this piece against a display board. One mark is in the dentils above the R in LIBERTY, another is in the dentils off the bust tip, and the third is in the dentils left of the lowest curls. In spite of these minor defects, this piece is at the lower end of the condition census for the thick planchet sub-variety. (The thick planchet version was struck on planchets cut down from large cent planchets, either ones that were spoiled by mint error strikes or planchets that went unused for some reason.) No trace of large cent undertype is visible on this piece. Weight 115.2 grains (versus the normal thin planchet weight standard of 84.0 grains). Estimated Value $3,500-UP. Ex Jon Hanson-Doug Bird. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 668		1795 C-6a R2 Plain Edge without Pole G5. 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. Weight 78.7 grains. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $506
Lot 669		1796 C-2 R4 With Pole G5. Several points sharper but the surfaces are lightly corroded. The roughness is very fine, strongest AMERICA where there are traces of very shallow reddish verdigris mixed in with the roughness. The only marks are a barely visible rim bruise at the L in LIBERTY and a dull rim nick over the second S in STATES. Rather glossy dark olive brown and steel mixed with reddish brown toning at AMERICA. The date is clear and the legends are complete except for weakness at RICA and ALF. Certainly not a perfect example, but not bad for the grade, especially considering the clear date and nearly complete legends. Weight 76.4 grains. Estimated Value $12,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 670		1797 C-2 R3 EF40+. Choice glossy chocolate brown and steel with traces of frosty lighter steel brown faded down from mint color in a couple of the most-protected areas. There is a faint spot of slightly darker toning in the field left of the top of the cap and a splash of darker olive toning at TATES. The only contact mark is a tiny nick hidden in the dentils right of the tip of the nose. Nicely struck MDS displaying subtle swelling from CA to the fraction. Great eye appeal for the grade, close to EF45. A premium example of the variety. Weight 83.8 grains. Estimated Value $5,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 671		1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge VG10. Sharpness VF25 but covered with uniform microscopic granularity. No verdigris, but there is a dig on the E in LIBERTY that obliterates much of that letter plus a hairline scratch from that E through the cap. These marks blend perfectly into the dark chocolate and olive toning. Nicely struck but slightly off center to K-2. EDS, Manley state 1.0 early, clearly earlier than the Manley plate coin. There is no trace of the die crack from the chin. The date and legends are bold. Weight 77.2 grains. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $891
Lot 672		1797 C-3b R4 Low Head with Lettered Edge VG10. Sharpness VF25 but lightly corroded and the obverse has been smoothed, mostly in the field before the portrait. There are a few shallow pitmarks on both sides, the largest of these at the left top of the O in OF. The rims also display some small disturbances, but many of those are caused by the edge letters which hang off the planchet (the edge letters were designed for a thicker planchet and are too tall for the thin planchets used for this variety). The planchet is not perfectly round, which is often the case since the planchets for this variety were cut from spoiled large cents rather than rolled planchet stock. Nicely retoned glossy dark chocolate and olive brown. The date and legends are complete and clear, and the edge letters are strong. Far from perfect but not bad for the tough lettered edge sub-variety. Weight 79.2 grains. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Superior 1/29/89:3049-J. R. Frankenfield, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/17/01:48. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,795
Lot 673		1800 C-1 R2 EF45. Slightly sharper with a thin line (similar to a planchet cutter impression) arcing on the bust above the second 0 in the date. A similar arc shows on the reverse just right of OF. These may be mint-made errors, but that isn't certain and they do catch your eye. Otherwise this piece is quite nice and offers excellent eye appeal. Frosty dark steel and olive with lighter tan and steel brown toning faded down from mint color in the protected areas. Satiny mint luster shows on both sides. Nicely struck M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. The curl left of the date is incomplete from die polishing. In addition, there is a fine double profile on the tip of the nose, lips, neck, and the 18 in the date (all from die bounce). Estimated Value $750-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 674		1802/0 C-1 R6 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1800 PCGS graded AG3. Sharpness VG7, even better in a few areas, but the surfaces are covered with very fine roughness, strongest in the softly struck area at the bust tip. The only verdigris is some microscopic reddish carbon in protected areas, strongest at STA, but this stuff is barely visible and does not detract. There is a nick on the forehead, another under the eye, and a couple more light contact marks on the bust. The strike is uneven, weak on the bust and at OF, thanks to non-parallel die faces. Most researchers believe all of this variety were struck on spoiled large cent planchets. There are very faint hints of some undertype at the bust, but the wear and imperfect surfaces make identifying any undertype virtually impossible. The date is complete, but the 2 is faint due to the uneven strike. The legends are complete except for OF, which is faint due to the poor strike in that area. A decent, rather nicely detailed example of this extremely rare variety. Our grade is AG3+, very close to G4. The overdate feature and "Reverse of 1800" type are noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $10,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 675		1803 C-1 R1 EF45. Glossy dark steel and chocolate with frosty lighter brown and tan in the protected areas. Virtually void of marks. A pair of very faint hairlines above the A in HALF and a small rim nick at ED in UNITED are the only defects. Great eye appeal. M-LDS, Manley state 3.0 early. The die crack down to the L in HALF is faint. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU50 (PCGS label included). Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Jack Beymer 3/2001. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,300
Lot 676		1803 C-1 R1 VF35. Slightly sharper but this piece was very lightly cleaned and has been nicely retoned an attractive glossy chocolate and light olive brown. Frosty flowline luster covers the fields and protected areas. The planchet is smooth and choice except for some extremely faint microscopic roughness in the field behind the portrait. LDS, Manley state 3.0 late. The die crack down through the L in HALF reaches the N in UNITED and extends to the dentils. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $978
Lot 677		1803 C-2 R4 VG7. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but the toning is dark and the surfaces are covered with extremely fine roughness that dulls the natural gloss. Dark steel and olive. No verdigris or notable marks. The date and legends are complete and strong. EDS, Manley state 1.0, prior to any die cracks. A relatively modest example of this tough variety, but it comes with a nice provenance. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Richard Picker 8/1/57-Mrs. R. Henry Norweb, Bowers & Merena 10/12/87:35-Gene Braig. The Norweb lot ticket is included. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $391
Lot 678		1803 C-3 R2 PCGS graded AU55. Frosty bluish steel and light olive with hints of very faded underlying red on the reverse. The only marks are a few very tiny specks of darker toning on the obverse, including one in the field above the bust tip. Just a hint of rub on the highest points from mint state. MDS, Manley state 3.0. The die lines down through BER are strong and the swelling at 18 is obvious. Our grade is consistent with the slab grade. Pop 7; 28 finer at PCGS in BN. Estimated Value $3,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 679		1803 C-4 R4 VF35. Ten points sharper but the reverse is slightly dull from uniform extremely faint granularity. No marks or verdigris. Dark steel with frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. The obverse is glossy, the reverse frosty. The reverse has been retoned and is upset (oriented head-to-head rather than the usual head-to-foot relative to the obverse). Decent eye appeal in spite of the retoned reverse. This piece is near the lower end of the condition census for the variety, and it was 6th finest in the Half Cent Happening competition at the 2007 EAC Convention. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU50 (PCGS label included). Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 6/3/2002:2290. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,128
Lot 680		1804 C-1 R3 EF40. Ten points sharper but there is a strong rim nick off the bust tip plus a pinprick on the throat and a couple more in the field above the bust. Otherwise there are just a few trivial ticks here and there on otherwise flawless surfaces. Frosty chocolate brown with traces of satiny luster in protected areas, mostly on the reverse. MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. The die crack at the top of the reverse is clear but ES in STATES has not started to rise. An attractive and important half cent in spite of the obverse marks. Plated in the Breen half cent encyclopedia to illustrate his die state IV. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Martin Levy-Del Bland 12/24/74-Bill Weber, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 6/3/2002:2293. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 681		1804 C-1 R3 VG8. Glossy chocolate brown with darker olive brown toning in protected areas. The only marks are some small rim nicks at ED ST. Not perfect but nice for the grade. LDS, Manley state 2.0 late. The area at ES in STATES is swollen and nearly obliterated due to die failure. Estimated Value $50-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $81
Lot 682		1804 C-3/5 R7 Without Spiked Chin G6. Several points sharper but lightly corroded. No verdigris, but there are some light hairline scratches on the portrait and fraction, a couple dull lines of planchet erosion through the T in UNITED into the wreath, and a small rim bruise over the second T in STATES. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. The two-tone appearance accents the details and help the eye appeal. Not the most attractive half cent in this offering, but certainly one of the rarest in terms of the die state. The C-3 die variety is actually the C-5 variety in an early die state, prior to the "Spiked Chin" feature. Fortunately the portrait is relatively strong and the lack of the "Spiked Chin" is obvious. Manley state 2.0 with a fine crack through the left side of the C in AMERICA. Estimated Value $4,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 683		1804 C-5 R4 Spiked Chin VG7. Very slightly sharper but there is a tiny dig at the bottom of the E in LIBERTY and a fine hairline scratch in the field before the portrait. Rather glossy olive brown and steel. Rare EDS, Manley state 3.0. The "Spiked Chin" is clear but there is no trace of swelling in the field before the face. Estimated Value $50-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $127
Lot 684		1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin VF25. Slightly sharper but there are a few too many light contact marks for the higher grade. A short horizontal scratch in the field before the nose is the only notable mark. Glossy dark olive brown and steel mixed with lighter chocolate brown on the reverse. MDS, Manley state 9.5, Braig 6.5, with several strong cud breaks on the reverse. The "Spiked Chin" feature is clear. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 685		1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin EF45. Choice glossy chocolate brown and steel. Great eye appeal, virtually flawless. A tiny rim nick over the A in STATES is a good identifying mark. Rare M-LDS, Manley state 10.2. The die crack up from the left top of the M in AMERICA is strong. The Spiked Chin feature is obvious. Removed from an ICG slab graded EF45 (ICG label included). Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Howard Barron 3/2001. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $834
Lot 686		1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin AU55. Choice lustrous chocolate and steel brown. The fields are satiny and the surfaces are flawless. Just a touch of friction on the highpoints from mint state. The only mark is a rim nick over the right side of the M in AMERICA. LDS, Manley state 11.0, Braig state 8.0, with an extensive series of rim cuds on the reverse. The Spiked Chin is obvious. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS63BN (PCGS label included, and it mentions the Spiked Chin feature). Estimated Value $1,500-UP. Ex Chris McCawley 7/04-Ray Rouse, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldberg's 9/14/08:55. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,415
Lot 687		1804 C-7 R4 Spiked Chin VF20. Double Struck over Obverse Brockage. Ten points sharper but there is a significant scrape on the rim at ICA, several tiny pinpricks in the field left of the lower curls, a dull scratch hidden in the hair right of the ribbon, and a couple specks of reddish verdigris at the O in OF. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and free of notable marks. Glossy olive and steel with lighter chocolate brown toning on the devices. This piece was struck two times. The first strike was an obverse brockage and the second strike was normal. The incuse obverse brockage impression from the first strike is located on the reverse of the second strike. The incuse LIBERTY is visible through the denominator, and Ms Liberty's curls show under ATES. The second strike on the obverse was shifted only slightly relative to the first, but clear doubling shows at the throat, forehead, and off the bust tip. A sharp example of an extremely rare type of mint error. This is a very tough die variety; the double strike over an obverse brockage just makes it better. EDS, Manley state 1.0 without any die cracks on the reverse. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Jim McGuigan 4/07. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,725
Lot 688		1804 C-9 R2 EF45. Slightly sharper but lightly cleaned and nicely retoned frosty steel and olive brown with hints of lighter reddish steel brown toning in protected areas. Has the eye appeal of a lustrous mint state piece. The notable marks are a tiny rim nick under the bust tip and a faint hairline in the field left of the lower curls. LDS, Manley state 5.0 early. A strong cud break connects RTY to the rim above and a fine die crack reaches from the 4 through the bust tip. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex 2003 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 4/26/03:114. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $891
Lot 689		1804 C-10 R1 AU55. Lustrous steel and olive brown. No defects than a couple specks of dirt in the drapery folds. Just a touch of friction on the highest points from mint state. MDS showing fine radial die flowlines in the fields on both sides. Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex Fred Borcherdt-Jim McGuigan. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,875
Lot 690		1804 C-11 R2 Plain 4 with Stems EF40. Choice glossy chocolate and steel brown. Smooth and very attractive for the grade. The only marks are a faint hairline scratch at the left corner of the eye and a small planchet clip in the dentils over the second S in STATES (as struck). Nicely struck EDS, Manley state 1.0. The central reverse is not swollen and HALF CENT is well struck, which is unusual for this variety. This piece was struck two times. The initial strike was an off center brockage, and an arc of incuse dentils from this initial strike shows from the leaf under E in STATES to the leaves under AM, clearest above ALF. The obverse is finely doubled on the date and all the devices. Plated Walter Breen's half cent encyclopedia, page 476 of the "Whoops" chapter, where Breen identifies this piece as having been "struck on a cut-down cent." However, the arc of dentils fits a half cent, not a large cent, and this piece was double struck as described on a normal half cent planchet. A beautiful example of this popular "Redbook" variety, and the double strike error is a bonus. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Bill Weber, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 6/3/2002:2319. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,875
Lot 691		1804 C-12 R2 Crosslet 4 without Stems MS63. Lustrous light steel brown and tan delicately speckled with darker steel toning, mostly on the obverse. Traces of faded mint red remain visible in some of the protected areas on both sides. The only marks are a collection of tiny, very light nicks at the top of the second A in AMERICA. Excellent eye appeal. MDS. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS64 Brown (NGC label included). Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,680
Lot 692		1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems AU50. Sharpness very close to mint state, and the luster affords mint state eye appeal, but there are some faint hairline scratches on the portrait. Otherwise this piece is virtually flawless. A small depression on the rim just right of the F in OF is a good identifying mark. Lustrous olive brown and steel with traces of lighter steel brown toning in a few of the protected areas. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $529
Lot 693		1805 C-1 R2 Stemless Wreath AU55. Frosty olive and steel with lighter reddish steel brown toning in the protected areas. No defects, only a touch of friction on the highest points. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The thin rim cud right of the fraction covers 5 dentils. An attractive example of the Stemless Wreath variety. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,783
Lot 694		1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems F12. Sharpness VF30 but lightly corroded. No marks, and the only verdigris is few tiny specks at the T in LIBERTY and the 2 in the denominator. Rather glossy olive and dark steel with lighter steel highpoints. LDS, Manley state 2.0, showing heavy swelling in the field before the portrait. Sharply struck except for the H in HALF and CE in CENT, which are softly impressed, as usual. Not perfect, but still a decent example of this popular "Redbook" variety. Estimated Value $800-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 695		1805 C-4 R2- Large 5 with Stems EF40. Glossy chocolate brown with lots of frosty lighter steel brown and golden tan faded down from mint color covering the protected areas on both sides. A spot of darker toning at the shoulder above the 18 is the only notable mark. MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. The die crack through the bust tip is faint. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $719
Lot 696		1805 C-4 R2- Large 5 with Stems AU50. Possible Broadstrike. Frosty chocolate brown and steel with a thin swipe of darker chocolate toning at the rim on the lower left of the obverse and upper left reverse. Lustrous lighter brown and tan covers the protected areas on the reverse. A nick-like planchet void on the rim below the 0 in the date and a shallow nick on the rim right of the chin are the only notable marks. LDS, Manley state 2.0 late, Breen state VI. The die crack through the end of the bust is strong. The rims are wide and flat suggesting a "broadstruck error." However, the wide rim feature is not consistent all the way around the rims as if the collar made good contact with parts of the planchet but not all of it during the striking process. Makes an interesting puzzle. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Don Valenziano 8/94-Ray Rouse, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldberg's 9/14/08:73. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 697		1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath AU58. Mint state sharpness but there are a few light contact marks, including a rim nick under the bust tip and a couple nicks in the center of the nick. Glossy chocolate and lighter steel brown with splashes of reddish chocolate toning on both sides. Traces of golden tan faded down from mint color can be found in a couple of the protected areas on both sides. MDS. The reverse is not rotated and clear die clashmarks show on both sides of the portrait. Estimated Value $600-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,064
Lot 698		1806 C-1 R1 Stemless Wreath VF30. Glossy dark olive brown and steel. Frosty luster shows through in protected areas and there are no defects. Nicely struck EDS. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $311
Lot 699		1806 C-4 R1 Large 6 with Stems AU55. Repunched 6. Lustrous chocolate and steel brown with lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. Only a touch of friction on the highest points from mint state. The only marks are a couple faint hairlines well hidden in the hair. Excellent eye appeal for the grade. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The repunching on the 6 is obvious. A tiny rim cud break joins three dentils even with the upper edge of the bust and a similar rim cud break connects three dentils above the B in LIBERTY. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees CW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Softly struck on the top of the obverse and on the opposing lower part of the wreath, but the bust tip is strongly impressed (which is unusual). Removed from an NGC slab graded MS61 Brown (NGC label included, and it shows the die variety). Estimated Value $600-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,020
Lot 700		1806 C-4 R1 Large 6 with Stems AU50. Repunched 6.
