Lot 560		1848 N-31 R3 MS60. Frosty medium brown and light chocolate with a few tiny peeps of mint red remaining on both sides. Excellent eye appeal.

Lot 561		1848 N-35 R2 AU58. Frosty light bluish steel brown. Sharply struck with excellent eye appeal, just a hint of friction on the highest points from mint state. There are a few small contact marks in the field before the portrait, especially between star 1 and the bust tip, and a tiny rim nick at NI in UNITED. EDS, die state a. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Dick Dolloff 1/22/1975-Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $311
Lot 562		1848 N-36 R5- PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Choice glossy steel brown and light chocolate. Essentially flawless, but it is difficult to assign a higher grade due to the blunted details on the portrait caused by improper die preparation. Finding an identifying mark is a challenge, so a tiny, very thin nick on the truncation above the first 8 will have to suffice for this purpose. LDS, die state b. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing that removed the earlier vertical die line under the first 8. A great example of this odd-looking die variety. Our grade is MS60. CC#1 for the variety, the only mint state example known. Certainly the most significant late date cent in the Carvin Goodridge collection. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only MS graded of the variety. Estimated Value $500-UP.

Lot 563		1848 N-39 R5 Clipped Planchet EF40. Choice glossy medium brown. Very attractive, just a few trivial ticks from flawless. EDS with parallel die lines over UNI. There is a minor planchet clip affecting the dentils at star 11. The dentils across the planchet are weakened as well, the so-called Blakesly effect that attests to the genuineness of a mint clip. An important example of this tough die variety. Tied for CC#4 honors in the Grellman census. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,495
Lot 564		1849 N-4 R1 MS60. A "Fatboy" strike. Highly lustrous golden light olive brown. Would rate a higher grade except for a light scrape in the dentils at TES plus a tiny rim nick at ME. Great luster and eye appeal in spite of the minor marks. MDS, die state c. The lines at UN are gone and die cracks show through the tops of UNITED and STATE. Struck on an oversize planchet (164.2 grains and a full 28.0 millimeters). Fewer than a dozen of these "fatboys" are known, although others probably exist. Apparently a small group of planchets were cut using a punch of slightly larger diameter, and these planchets were used to strike some MDS examples of N-4. The heaviest of these weighs 173.9 grains. The slightly oversize diameter and resulting broad rims give them away, but these features are easy to miss unless you are looking at a stack of cents where the larger diameter "sticks out." Not in the overall condition census for the variety, but second finest known of the 10 "Fatboys" currently traced. Comes with a nice provenance. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Henry C. Hines-Floyd T. Starr, Stack�s 6/13/1984:601-R. S. Brown, Jr., Superior 9/30/1986:1195-J. R. Frankenfield, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/17/2001:1528-R. S.
