Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 466		1835 N-9 R4 Head of 1834 with Large 8 and Stars F15. Slightly sharper with extremely fine granularity covering the fields and protected areas on both sides. No verdigris and only a few trivial contact marks, including dull rim nicks at stars 3 & 5. Rather glossy dark olive brown with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. E-MDS. A light die crack meanders through the tops of ERIC. Estimated Value $250-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 467		1835 N-10 R4+ Head of 1834 VF30. Glossy reddish steel brown and chocolate. The planchet is smooth and attractive. The only marks of any consequence are a shallow planchet flake right of star 4 and another under star 1, both as struck. E-MDS. The die crack at NITED-ST is clear but not strong. In addition, the blundered E in CENT (first punched into the die inverted, then corrected) is clear. This "blundered E" feature is present in all the die states of the variety, but you seldom find an example sharp enough to show it clearly. Certainly in the condition census for this tough variety. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,300
Lot 468		1835 N-11 R4+ Head of 1834 G6. Glossy steel brown and chocolate with darker chocolate brown toning in protected areas. No defects, just worn. MDS. The die cracks at the bottom of the reverse are clear but the cud has not formed. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $196
Lot 469		1835 N-13 R4 Double Struck VG7. Glossy olive brown and steel mixed with lighter chocolate brown. No roughness or notable marks. Double struck with a rotation of 5-10 degrees between the two impressions. The reverse was struck against the die both times and evidence of the first strike is clearly visible at STATES OF AMERICA. The obverse was struck against the die on the first strike and against a blank planchet positioned about 10% off center to K-7.5 on the second strike, thereby creating an off-center obverse brockage on the new planchet. Another obvious mint error, one that is easy to "noodle through" to figure out what happened at the mint. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Superior 2/16/1976:382-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details	Realized $207
Lot 470		1835 N-14 R2 Head of 1836 NGC graded AU50. Glossy chocolate and dark steel brown with frosty tan in protected areas. No defects, only light wear. Nicely struck E-MDS.

Lot 473		1836 N-6 R4 EF45. The Gobrecht Head design (the wavy-top head seen only on the N-6 and N-7 die varieties). Glossy steel brown and light chocolate with mint frost in protected areas. No spots or stains, very nice for the grade. The only marks are a half dozen microscopic pinpricks at ES in STATES. Sharply struck MDS. The fine die crack at TED-ST is present but the rim cud in that area has not formed. Estimated Value $350-UP. Ex Stack's 3/17/1987:196-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 474		Group of 5 Cents, 1836-1838, grading VF30 to VF35. Includes 1836 N-3, 1837 N-15, 1837 N-16, 1838 N-2, and 1838 N-3. A couple are sharper with defects. Lot of 5 coins. Estimated Value $250-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details	Realized $776
Lot 475		1837 N-2 R2 Plain Hair Cord MS60. Lustrous medium steel brown and light chocolate with faded mint red showing in protected areas on both sides. The obverse is choice but the reverse has a swipe of barely visible microscopic roughness at UNI to CE in CENT. Otherwise this cent would rate a significantly higher grade. MDS with slightly raised retained cud breaks under star 3 and over star 4. Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex Harmer Rooke Numismatics, 8/5/1987:53-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,495
Lot 476		1837 N-6 R2 Plain Hair Cord MS60. Lustrous light bluish steel brown with a splash of darker chocolate brown toning across the obverse. The surfaces are covered with satiny mint frost but the uneven toning on the obverse is a bit distracting on an otherwise choice cent. The only marks are two small nicks on the chin. EDS. The dash of tiny die lines at the berry under TE in UNITED is clear. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $460
Lot 477		1837 N-8 R1 Plain Hair Cord PCGS graded AU55. Glossy chocolate brown with lighter brown toning on the highpoints. No defects, only minor dirt nestled around the devices. MDS. The die lines at ERIC are gone but the dentils still show all the way around the obverse. This is Newcomb's old #8. Our grade is AU50. The PCGS label indicates this is a "Head of 1838" variety, but varieties such as this one with a Plain Hair Cord are the Head of 1835-1837 type. Estimated Value $150-UP.

Lot 478		1838 N-1 R1 NGC graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown. Choice and quite attractive except for a splash of dark crud at MERI. MDS with narrow rim cud breaks on the obverse.

Lot 480		1838 N-4 R2 MS60. Lustrous steel brown and light olive with generous traces of mint red remaining on both sides, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a dull, shallow nick on the rim above star 8 and another stronger one at TE in UNITED (although this may be a pre-striking planchet chip). E-MDS with a die crack from the dentils down through star 9 to the inner hair bun. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Bowers & Merena 8/3/1983:328-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 481		1838 N-5 R1 MS60. Lustrous steel brown and light chocolate, the reverse a couple shades lighter than the obverse. Hints of very faded mint color can be imagined in a couple places.

Ex 1980 ANA Sale, Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions, Lot 996-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $863
Lot 482		1838 N-6 R1 NGC graded MS63 Brown. Frosty steel brown and chocolate with traces of mint red showing on both sides.
