Lot 159		1796 S-82 R5 Liberty Cap F15. Ten points sharper but there are microscopic specks of greenish verdigris in protected areas, mostly on the reverse. Looks nice to the unaided eye, and the crud is not distracting. The only marks are some extremely faint scratches under the patina at BERTY and UNIT. Slightly glossy chocolate and olive brown. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks. The date is bold and the legends are strong except for UNITED, which was softly struck. A decent example of a variety that's difficult to find in high grade, this piece near the lower end of the condition census. Estimated Value $2,000-UP Ex Fred H. Borcherdt 3/2001-Dan Trollan.

The legends are complete except for parts of ONE CENT. Estimated Value $250-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $483
Lot 161		1796 S-89 R3 Liberty Cap G5. A few points sharper but lightly corroded. There is a speck of greenish verdigris on the front edge of the neck and a rim dent at the I in LIBERTY.

Estimated Value $300-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $334
Lot 162		1796 S-89 R3 Liberty Cap G4. The obverse is slightly sharper but the reverse is a bit weaker, which is typical of lower grade Liberty Cap 1796 cents. Both sides are covered with extremely faint granularity but there is no verdigris. The only marks are a couple very light, old scratches hidden in the toning on both sides. Recolored a slightly glossy dark bluish steel and chocolate. The date is clear and most of the reverse legend remains visible. Estimated Value $250-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242
Lot 163		1796 S-101 R5- PCGS graded VG10. Rather glossy dark chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. The two-tone appearance accents the designs and adds to the eye appeal of this cent. The obverse is a bit sharper than the reverse, but the date and legends are complete and easily readable. There is microscopic roughness in the fields and protected areas and a small patch of very fine carbon at the left foot of the L in LIBERTY. No notable marks. EDS, Breen state I. Our grade is VG7. Estimated Value $1,000-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,323
Lot 164		1796 S-105 R5- Repunched 6 VG7. Sharpness F15 but covered with fine to moderate roughness on all but the highpoints, which are relatively smooth. No verdigris, but there is a scratch from the bust to the rim just right of the date, some faint hairline scratches on the portrait, and a small dig on the N in CENT. Rather glossy medium brown and chocolate with darker chocolate brown toning on the reverse. The date is strong and the legends are complete. The repunching on the bottom of the 6 is visible. EDS, Breen state I. Estimated Value $1,000-UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 165		1796 S-116 R5- Draped Bust G4. The obverse is slightly better while the reverse is a bit weaker (which is typical for Draped Bust 1796 cents), the G4 grade an average of the two. Glossy steel brown and chocolate. No roughness or verdigris, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. The bottom edge of the date is starting to wear in to the rim but it is easily readable and nearly complete. EDS. A decent low-grade example of this tough die variety. Estimated Value $500-UP Ex Joe V. Dooley, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 1/11/1997:218 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $920
Lot 166		1796 NC-4 R5+ Draped Bust Basal State-1. The details are considerably sharper, especially on the reverse, but this cent is covered with moderate corrosion and it has been cleaned.

Estimated Value $300-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 167		1797 S-122 R5+ VG10. Sharpness EF40 but there are significant contact marks on both sides. The strongest marks are in the field behind the curls and hair ribbon and along the rim over UNITED ST, but there are a few more scattered elsewhere on both sides. The planchet is smooth, unaffected by any traces of corrosion or verdigris. The toning is an attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate mixed with a few small swipes of darker olive brown on the reverse. Great detail, clearly the sharpest example known of the die variety, but the contact marks are a serious distraction. EDS, Breen state I, prior to any die cracks. Estimated Value $1,500-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $920
Lot 168		1797 S-130 R2 NGC graded AU Details, Obverse Planchet Flaw. Sharpness EF40 or slightly better but there are some rather obvious shallow planchet voids or depressions on the bust. The remaining marks are relatively insignificant and include a few thin nicks at the dentils left of the hair ribbon and a dull rim nick at AM in AMERICA. Otherwise this cent is quite nice and the color is an attractive glossy chocolate brown and steel. Hints of very faded mint color are peeking through in a few of the protected areas at the top of the obverse. Late die state, Breen V late, with an unlisted cud break in the dentils over NIT in UNITED. The internal cud break in the field behind the head is complete and bold and the chips in the field before the portrait are clear. Our grade is net VF25+, close to VF30.

In addition there are two obverse scratches that are visible to the unaided eye. These are a hairline scratch from just right of the Y down to the bust and another in the field from the top of the hair ribbon to the dentils behind the head. The remainder of the obverse is quite nice and the reverse is choice. Glossy chocolate brown and steel with frosty luster in the fields and protected areas. LDS, Breen state V, with strong die cracks left of the lower curls and obvious swelling in that area from significant die failure. A sharp, attractive cent in spite of the obverse scratches. Estimated Value $2,000-UP View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

The planchet is reasonably smooth but you can find specks of verdigris on both sides, none visible without the aid of a good glass. A dull scratch from the nose into the field off the chin is the only significant defect, but there are a few shallow rim nicks on the reverse. EDS, Breen die state I, before a crack at TES. Struck with the obverse die slightly misaligned to K-1. The date is bold and the legends are strong. Our grade is VG8+ sharpness net G6. Called CC#6 in the Bland census, tied for CC#3 in the Noyes list. An important example of this very rare variety. The attribution and Reiver provenance are shown on the NGC/NCS label.

Lot 175		1798 S-157 R2 Small 8 with Style I Hair F12. A few points sharper but covered with microscopic roughness hidden under medium chocolate and olive brown toning. No verdigris or marks. M-LDS, Breen state III late. The disjointed crack from the rim to the neck is strong and small lumps from die rust show on the bust and obverse fields. The date and legends are complete and clear. Nice for the grade in spite of the imperfect surfaces. Estimated Value $300-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414
Lot 176		1798 S-162 R4 Small 8, Style I Hair NGC graded VF20. Attractive glossy chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and display only minor contact marks, including a couple nicks on the cheek.

Lot 177		1798 S-167 R1 Large 8 with Style II Hair AG3. Double Struck. A few points sharper but porous under rather glossy toning that is dark olive brown in the fields and lighter steel brown on the devices. Nothing special except that it was boldly double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was positioned about 70% off center to K-11 leaving the bust tip and 98 from the date clearly visible at the back of Ms Liberty's head. The off-center strike on the reverse shows several leaves from the wreath and obliterated UNI from the first strike. The date is faint on the first strike. Obviously low grade but a neat mint error.
