Lot 758		1793 S-3 R3- Chain AMERICA PCGS graded VF30. Attractive glossy chocolate and olive brown. The surfaces are mostly smooth but a strong glass reveals extremely fine roughness covering the fields and protected areas. No verdigris, and the only marks are a scuff of faint hairlines in the field before the neck and a shallow depression in the planchet near the rim right of the bust. The date and legends are bold. Evenly struck EDS, Breen state I, without any die clashmarks. A very nice mid-grade example of our popular "Chain Cent." Our grade is VF25. Comes in a slab with an old Green PCGS label.

Lot 759		1793 S-3 R3- Chain AMERICA PCGS graded VG8. Sharpness F15 or slightly better but lightly corroded under a rather glossy reddish steel brown and chocolate patina. No verdigris, but there are some contact marks. These include a rim dent over the I in LIBERTY, a dull rim nick over that Y, a few old hairline scratches around the date, plus other minor marks scattered over both sides. The date is strong and the legends are complete. Nice detail and decent eye appeal for the grade in spite of the imperfect surfaces. EDS, Breen state I, before any die clashmarks. Our net grade is consistent with the slab grade. Estimated Value $6,000-UP. The Estate of Winthrop A Haviland Jr. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,913
Lot 760		1793 S-6 R3 Wreath Cent AG3. Sharpness VG7, even better in some areas, but light to moderate corrosion covers all but the highpoints. No significant marks or verdigris.

Lot 761		1793 S-9 R2 Wreath Cent NGC graded MS62 Brown. Choice glossy chocolate brown with frosty lighter steel brown toning covering the protected areas. The obverse fields are hard and slightly reflective while the fields on the reverse are covered with satiny mint luster. This cent offers outstanding eye appeal for the grade. The only marks are a faint microscopic hairline scratch across the bottom of the neck and a small planchet void (as struck) well left of the L in LIBERTY. Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state II, with a fine die crack at CA to the stem and ribbon. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-10 while the reverse is properly centered on the planchet. Called AU55 choice and tied for CC#8 honors in the Noyes census, his photo #20095. Our grade is AU58 choice, very close to mint state. And this beautiful Wreath Cent comes with a provenance that includes several prominent numismatists. Pop 1; The finest graded at NGC. Estimated Value $40,000-UP. Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau & Company 2/7/1945:9-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/84:15-Herman Halpern, Stack's 3/16/88:10-R. E. Naftzger, Jr., 1989 EAC Sale, lot 17 (where graded MS60).

Lot 762		1793 S-10 R4 Wreath Cent VG7. Mostly glossy dark olive fields with light chocolate toning covering the devices. The two-tone appearance accents the details and creates excellent eye appeal. The dark fields are covered with extremely faint roughness under the glossy toning while the devices are smooth. No verdigris and the only marks are a dull rim nick under the 7 in the date and a dull nick on the leaf above the O in ONE. The date and legends are complete and clear. LDS, Breen state II, showing die failure in the dentils before the mouth. An attractive, well-balanced Wreath Cent for the grade. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,120
Lot 763		1793 S-10 R4 Wreath Cent Fair-2. Slightly glossy steel and chocolate. The planchet is covered with microscopic roughness but there is no verdigris. A strong rim nick over UN and a deep planchet void at the left end of the fraction are the only notable marks, but they are significant ones. A couple digits of the date remain faintly visible and about half the legends remain readable. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Tom Wolf. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414
Lot 764		1793 S-11a R4+ Vine & Bars Edge Basal State-1. Glossy steel brown and chocolate. Smooth and attractive for the grade, just heavily worn. The obverse is Fair-2 but the reverse is slick. There is a deep dig on the portrait and a couple smaller contact marks on the reverse. Portions of the date can be made out with some effort while the portrait and leaves above the date are much easier to see. Fortunately there is enough detail to positively attribute this as S-11, and most of the Vine & Bars edge device is clear. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Darwin B. Palmer (via Chris McCawley 1/6/97-Daniel W. Holmes, Jr. (DWH #1802). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414
Lot 765		1793 S-11c R3- Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge Fair-2+. Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate, the devices a couple shades lighter than the fields. No corrosion or verdigris. The notable marks are a strong nick between the 1 & 7 and another at the top of the head. Basically just well worn. The date is faint but readable with some effort but most of the legends are worn away. The obverse details are clearly better than those on the reverse. The edge lettering is complete and easily readable, including the single leaf following DOLLAR. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex 1982 EAC Sale, lot 202-Tom Wolf. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $604
Lot 766		1794 S-19a R5+ Head of 1793 with Edge of 1793 Fair-2. Sharpness G6 or better but moderately corroded. No verdigris, just some rim nicks. Slightly glossy dark chocolate brown. The date is no longer readable due to the corrosion but most of the legend remain readable. The edge lettering is strong, including the down turned leaf following DOLLAR. Estimated Value $150-UP. Ex Doug Bird 1983-Tom Wolf. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $276
Lot 767		1794 S-20 R5 Head of 1793 AG3. Mostly glossy chocolate brown with lighter brown toning on the portrait. No corrosion, but there is a rim dent just left of the fraction. The 94 is clear but the 17 is faint. Most of the legend is readable with some effort. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex John D. Wright-Tom Wolf. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 768		Group of Five 1794 Head of 1793 Cents grading Basal State-1 to AG3. Includes S-18b (2), S-19b (2), and S-20. Three have a readable date. Mostly just well worn cents. Lot of 5 coins. Estimated Value $300-UP. From the Tom Wolf Collection. View details	Realized $1,438
Lot 769		1794 S-22 R1 F12. Slightly sharper but there is a rim dent under the 1 in the date and another at the bottom of the reverse. Lightly cleaned and retoned slightly glossy reddish chocolate brown with a splash of slightly lighter golden brown at the Y in LIBERTY. EDS, before any die swelling on the reverse. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $661
Lot 770		1794 S-22 R1 VG7. Off Center. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with darker reddish olive brown toning in the most-protected areas. No roughness, only a few small rim nicks on both sides. The obverse is sharper than the reverse and would grade VG10 by itself, but the reverse is very weak at the upper left thanks in part to the off-center strike. LDS, Breen state VIII, with obvious "Mounds" of swelling on the reverse. Struck slightly off center to K-7.5. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414
Lot 771		1794 S-38 R5 VF25. Sharpness EF40 but cleaned and retoned frosty dark steel and reddish chocolate brown with lighter steel brown and tan toning in protected areas. There are some light contact marks on both sides including a vertical nick on the left top of the N in CENT, a couple diagonal nicks left of the O in OF, and a dull rim nick over the first A in AMERICA. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth. A strong glass reveals uniform microscopic granularity covering both sides. No verdigris. Breen die state I. The inner chip in the field under the cap is strong but the one closer to the dentils is faint. Breen thought that the two chips got stronger as the die worn down, but this cataloger believes the chip got weaker as time went by. So, Breen says this piece is from the early state of the dies while I believe it is from the late state. Regardless, this is a sharp condition census example of a tough variety. Bland says net VF25 and tied for CC#4 in his census. Noyes says EF40 net VF25 and CC#4 by itself, his photo #28743. And it comes with a long provenance that includes several distinguished numismatists. Estimated Value $6,000-UP. Ex Henry C. Miller, Thomas L. Elder 4/1917:690-Dr. George P. French-B.

Lot 772		1794 S-44 R1 NGC graded AU55. Choice glossy light chocolate brown with satiny mint frost showing in some of the protected areas, especially on the reverse. Beautiful, smooth surfaces throughout, void of any hint of roughness or verdigris. Only trivial contact marks from flawless. The best identifying mark is a barely visible planchet clip that weakens the dentils over the T in LIBERTY and the opposing dentils over the second A in AMERICA. Nicely struck M-LDS, Breen state IV, showing a clear die crack from the dentils left of OF down through the N in ONE. A premium example in every respect. Our grade is EF40+, which places this piece at the lower end of the condition census for the die variety. Pop 14 for the date. Estimated Value $4,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,913
Lot 773		1794 S-47 R4 F12. Sharpness VF25 but covered with very fine granularity on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. There is a barely visible speck of greenish verdigris at the 1 in the date and a few minor contact marks, including a dull rim nick at TA in STATES and a few tiny ones over MERI. Slightly glossy olive and dark steel brown. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I. Looks better than the words might imply. Estimated Value $750-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $920
Lot 774		1794 S-47 R4 VG10. Slightly sharper with fine porosity on both sides. No contact marks, but there are tiny specks of greenish verdigris in some of the protected areas. Rather glossy chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. Nicely struck showing even details throughout. The date and legends are clear. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $506
Lot 775		1794 S-48 R5 Starred Reverse PCGS graded Fair-2. The obverse sharpness is better, especially on the portrait, but the reverse displays more wear. Very fine porosity covers portions of the obverse, and this roughness nearly obliterates the date. LIBERTY is weak but remains readable. The reverse is smooth, just heavily worn. However, at least a third and maybe closer to half of the 94 tiny stars remain visible from K-5 clockwise to K-11. No verdigris or notable marks. Rather glossy olive and dark steel with lighter chocolate brown toning on the highpoints. Our grade is consistent with the slab grade. The "Starred Reverse" feature is noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $6,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,900
Lot 776		1794 S-55 R2 VF20. Slightly glossy reddish chocolate brown with lighter brown toning covering the highpoints. The surfaces are decent and offer nice eye appeal, but a glass reveals extremely faint roughness under the toning. No marks or verdigris. Nicely struck. The date and legends are clear. Estimated Value $700-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,495
Lot 777		1794 S-58 R3 G6. Sharpness F12 but covered with fine granularity that dulls the natural gloss. Dark steel and olive with lighter chocolate brown toning on the highpoints of the reverse. No verdigris or notable marks. The date is strong and the legends are readable. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $322
Lot 778		1794 S-62 R4+ F12. Sharpness VF20 but there is an "X" scratched on the portrait centered at the bottom of the earlobe, and it reaches into the field at the right. These scratches are old and blend perfectly into the natural toning. The only other marks are two rim dents at S-OF. The remainder of the planchet is smooth and very attractive, nearly choice. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. LDS, Breen state II, with a large cud break covering the dentils under the cap. The date and legends are complete and strong. Estimated Value $800-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 779		1794 S-65 R1 VG10. Glossy chocolate and olive brown. Possibly lightly cleaned and retoned, but the color is attractive. The planchet is smooth and the eye appeal is quite nice, but the obverse is clearly sharper than the reverse. The differential is normal for the later die states of this variety thanks to the cracks that cause die failure down the middle of the reverse. MDS, Breen state VI. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-1.5, which is typical. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 780		1794 S-72 R2 Exact Head of 1795 PCGS graded XF40. Choice glossy light chocolate brown. There is a spot of reddish chocolate toning on the leaves right of T in CENT plus a few light contact marks. The notable marks are a couple nicks at the eye, a long curved nick on the cheek, and a pinprick in the dentils over the B in LIBERTY. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state III. The die crack at TY is light and the one through the D in UNITED is faint. A very attractive example of this popular variety, the only 1794 with the "Exact Head of 1795." Our grade is VF30. The PCGS label incorrectly identifies this as a "Head of 1794" type. Estimated Value $5,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,188

Lot 787		1795 S-75 R3 Lettered Edge VF20. Sharpness VF35 but there are a half dozen patches of shallow corrosion on the reverse, including a couple at the fraction, another above ES in STATES, and a third at AM. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and the eye appeal is quite nice. Glossy dark chocolate and steel. The date and legends are bold. Estimated Value $700-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,553
Lot 788		1795 S-75 R3 Lettered Edge VG8. Slightly sharper but the reverse is a bit rough and has verdigris or scale caked into the protected areas on that side. No notable contact marks.

M-LDS with subtle swelling in the obverse fields. Struck 10% off center to K-5. The bottom of the date and TES OF are tight to the edge but everything remains clear. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 791		1795 S-76b R1 Plain Edge F15. Clipped Planchet. Choice glossy chocolate and light olive brown. Smooth and virtually flawless offering outstanding eye appeal. The only marks are a few light rim nicks, including a dull one under the 9 in the date. A curved planchet clip affects the dentils before the throat and the opposing ones over AM. Nicely struck EDS. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,208
Lot 792		1795 S-76b R1 Plain Edge VG10. Slightly sharper but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy chocolate and steel with darker olive and steel toning in the field before the portrait and under the date. No roughness or notable signs of contact. LDS with die failure at MERICA. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $437
Lot 793		1795 S-77 R3 Plain Edge VG10. Ten points sharper but covered with extremely fine roughness, strongest on the reverse where there is some shallow reddish scale in protected areas. There are some dull scratches at STA and another at ER in AMERICA, but they are not significant. Slightly glossy olive and chocolate brown with lighter chocolate toning on the devices. The date is clear and the legends are strong except where affected by die swelling on the reverse. M-LDS. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Lot 796		1795 S-79 R7 Reeded Edge PCGS graded Genuine. Sharpness VG7 or slightly better but lightly corroded. The roughness is fairly uniform but does not extend to the highpoints, which are smooth. There are traces of shallow verdigris on both sides, but the verdigris is barely visible with a glass and does not detract from the eye appeal. There are a few contact marks hidden in the patina. These include a pair of parallel nicks or short scratches at the bottom of the cap into the hair and a few minor disturbances around the rims, the notable one a small rim bruise under the 9 in the date. The date and design elements remain visible in spite of the imperfect surfaces. The date is clear and easily readable and the legends are complete, although some letters on the reverse are weakened by the roughness. The color is a rather glossy dark olive and chocolate brown with lighter chocolate and steel brown toning on the highpoints. The contrast in toning helps accent the date and major design details, and this adds to the eye appeal. The all-important edge reeding is clearly visible, especially before the face where the reeds are relatively strong. The purpose for the reeding is speculative. Walter Breen suggested the reeding was "an experiment which proved to be a needless frill, adding to the cost of manufacture without compensatory advantage." Nicely expressed. Other experts have offered similar opinions while some have taken it a step farther proposing that the reeding was added to help identify cents struck under the new 168-grain standard that was adopted at the end of 1795 (versus the previous 208-grain standard). We may never know the "official" reason for the reeding, but we do know the "Reeded Edge" variety is a genuine mint product since the reverse die was subsequently used to produce 6 different 1796 Draped Bust varieties (Sheldon numbers 106 through 111). The obverse die, however, was used only in this S-79 die marriage. The Sheldon-79 Reeded Edge die variety has long been considered the most famous variety in the entire series of early US Large Cents, and it is the undisputed "key" to completing a collection of the numbered Sheldon die varieties of 1793-1814 cents. The currently accepted population of this variety includes only 8 examples while 2 more are rumored to exist but remain highly doubtful. And all of those pieces are in relatively low grade with most suffering from significant surface defects. The piece offered here is a new discovery that came to light after our sale of the finest known S-79 cent from the Dan Holmes collection (our auction, 6 Sept 2009, lot 128). The Holmes coin, graded by PCGS as VG10 but considered by us to grade VG8, realized an astonishing $1,265,000.00, a world record for any US large cent. A PCGS graded G4 example of the S-79 variety with less detail than the piece being offered here realized $402,500.00 as lot 1143 in the Bowers & Merena auction of 11/20/2008. Bill Noyes grades this piece net G4+ "average" and his condition census of the 8 known examples is 8-7-5(2)-4+ (this coin)-4-1-X. The VG7 is impounded in the ANS Museum, the Basal State-1 is a heavily corroded example that is barely identifiable without any visible edge reeding, and the "X" is a holed obverse brockage impression. If you are holding out for a choice example, perhaps a lottery ticket would offer better odds for success. The PCGS grading label identifies this piece as the Sheldon-79 Reeded Edge variety. Our grade is net G4+. Estimated Value $200,000-UP. Discovered by John Baker in a group of unattributed coins given to him by his father years ago. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $322,000
Lot 797		1796 S-83 R4 Liberty Cap VG8. Slightly sharper with a couple light rim dents on both sides, including one at the bust tip and another over the Y in LIBERTY. Glossy dark olive and chocolate.

Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $630
Lot 798		1796 S-84 R3 Liberty Cap AG3. Slightly sharper with areas of very shallow corrosion on both sides, the largest in the field under the cap. There is a dull nick on the neck and a few smaller marks in the field before the eye. Rather glossy chocolate and steel brown. The date is readable although the 6 is weak due to swelling in that spot. The legends are readable although a few letters are faint. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 799		1796 S-91 R3 Liberty Cap VG8. Sharpness F15 with a rim dent under the 6 in the date plus numerous rim nicks on both sides. Glossy chocolate and olive brown.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,415
Lot 802		1796 S-96 R6 Draped Bust Fair-2. Very slightly sharper but lightly corroded and smoothed to minimize the roughness. The devices are smooth while fine roughness remains in the protected areas, strongest in the field above the bust. No marks or verdigris. Rather glossy chocolate brown with darker olive brown and steel toning in the protected areas. The date is weak but all 4 digits can be made out and the legends are readable with some effort. EDS, Breen state I, before the bisecting die crack across the reverse. Certainly a low grade piece, but this variety is seldom available. Called Fair-2 by Noyes, his photo #59831.
