View details and enlarged photos	Realized $276
Lot 942		1812 S-288 R2 Large Date Turban Head EF40. Possible Broadstrike. Sharpness AU50 or better but the highest points on the obverse are covered with fine hairline scratches, strongest on the cheek, and there are similar hairlines on the reverse rim. No roughness or verdigris. A small depression on the rim at star 13 is a good identifying mark. Frosty dark steel brown and olive brown. The fields are covered with attractive flowline luster and the eye appeal remains excellent in spite of the fine scratches. Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state II. The diameter of this piece is about a millimeter larger than normal and the rims are wide and flat. This suggests the coin was broadstruck without benefit of a restraining collar. A sharply detailed cent with a very interesting look. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 943		1812 S-288 R2 Large Date Turban Head VF20. Sharpness VF35 but there are several patches of shallow corrosion and verdigris on both sides, strongest around the stars behind the portrait.

Lot 945		1813 S-293 R2 Turban Head VF25. Sharpness AU50 but there is a strong nick on the rim under the first 1 in the date, and this mark caused a slight bend in the planchet creating a subtle bulge over the second S in STATES. A small dig in the field right of star 3, a dull rim nick over the second T in STATES, and a scattering of tiny ticks on the reverse are the other marks on otherwise attractive surfaces. Frosty dark olive and steel. Sharply struck EDS. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 946		1814 S-294 R1 Crosslet 4 Turban Head VF20. Sharpness EF40 but there are numerous rim bruises on both sides, the strongest one at OF. Otherwise the surfaces are void of notable defects.

A dull rim nick off the bust tip is the only notable defect. E-MDS. The reverse is bulged outward in a manner that is consistent with a piece that got stuck in the die and became a reverse brockage maker when a new blank planchet was inserted into the press. Normally you can find some minor doubling on the obverse from the extra strike(s), but there is none on this piece. Apparently it did not shift at all between the impressions on the obverse. A neat cent. Estimated Value $600-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,725
