Lot 288		1796 Draped Bust Cent. . S-98. Del Bland graded VG-10. Sharpness of Fine-15, but touching the neck is a pitted spot, some small nicks and pit marks are scattered around the obverse which shows a small edge dent at K7½, in the field behind the neck are some scratches and the reverse is lightly porous. Medium dark steel brown, light brown high points. This coin looks better than it sounds. Another appealing cent for the specialist who needs this variety. Estimated Value $900 - 1,300. Ex: 1957 ANA (Federal Coin Exchange): 821; Dr. Charles L. Ruby 12/72; Superior Stamp & Coin; Superior Galleries 8/75:93; Roger S. Cohen, Jr.; Superior Galleries 2/92:774; Chris Victor-McCawley (CVM) F.P.L. #37 9/92: Dr. Willard J. Carmel, Jr., Superior Stamp & Coin 9/97:193. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,150
Lot 289		1796 Draped Bust Cent. Reverse of 1796. . S-99. PCGS graded VF-20 and Del Bland graded F-15. A lovely medium chocolate brown example of this rare variety and exceptionally clean and desirable. Opposite the face near the rim are two very small defects which are hardly worth mentioning, elsewhere a couple others can be found. Tied with the Robinson S. Brown, Jr. and the Warfield pieces for fourth finest, but the coin offered here is easily the most appealing of the three. State I. This coin presents an exciting opportunity for the specialist, with all the higher grade coins in the Condition Census locked away in collections or held by the ANS, this coin is clearly the finest available of the variety. Furthermore, the eye appeal cannot be overstated. The obverse is exceptional for the grade, while the reverse does have very minor red coloring around the wreath and below the fraction. Apparently the obverse die failed quickly in this second use, and few coins are known of this die pairing. A delight for the specialist. Estimated Value $2,500-UP. Ex. Howard R. Newcomb; J. C. Morgenthau & Co. #458 2/45:129 at $19. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,600
Lot 290		1796 Draped Bust Cent. "LIHERTY" error. . S-104. Del Bland graded VF-20. Sharpness of Extremely Fine-45 but pitting on the upper obverse, two very long pin scratches through Liberty, many light shorter scratches behind the bow, fine roughness on both sides and a minor edge dent over I in AMERICA. Dark olive brown. One of the more popular varieties due to its listing in the Guide Book and scarce enough to always command a premium. Estimated Value $600 - 1,000. Ex: Denis W. Loring. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,035
Lot 291		1796 Draped Bust Cent. Reverse of 1797. . S-110. Del Bland graded VF-20. Sharpness of Very Fine 35, but on the obverse are some edge dents, on the chin is a pit mark, in the right obverse field is a small rough spot and on the reverse are a couple small nicks. Darkish steel brown. State I. Only light wear is noted, and most of Liberty's hair curls are sharply defined. A nice cent, despite its circulation problems. Estimated Value $750 - 1,250. Ex. Ira S. Reed, privately 12/15/44 at $35. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,610
Lot 292		1796 Draped Bust Cent. . S-110. Del Bland graded VG-10.

Lot 293		Withdrawn	Unsold
Lot 294		1796 Draped Bust Cent, reverse of 1797. Sheldon-119, Rarity-3. . S-119. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown and Del Bland graded AU-55. With a small planchet defect near the dentils opposite the neck. Mint State sharpness but throughout the right obverse are tiny handling marks some of which are quite possibly the result of pre-striking planchet defects. Medium chocolate brown. Examination and logic dictate that the planchet of this piece was not perfect. The small planchet defect near the right obverse rim is evidence that the copper drawing rollers did not flatten out all the minor surface imperfections of the large copper ingot that was being rolled and pressed into a copper sheet to make planchets. These unimportant surface marks are frequently seen on early copper coins, and are simply evidence of the working conditions and primitive equipment used at the time. What is important to note is that this is a beautiful coin that boasts mint fresh surfaces and appealing color. Free of spots and corrosion which are frequently seen, this coin will be a stunning addition to an advanced collection. Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000. Ex: Henry Chapman: Henry Chapman 6/09:745: A. J. "Alvin" Fink; H.O. Granberg; William H. Woodin; The United States Coin Co. 5/15:203; George E. Chatillon; B. Max Mehl M.B.S. #92 11/38:1716: Milton A. Holmes: Stack's 10/60:1391; Dr. E.

Lot 295		1797 Draped Bust Cent. Reverse of 1797, stems. . S-120b. Del Bland graded VF-30. Sharpness of Extremely Fine 40, but light roughness can be seen on both sides and the obverse fields exhibit a few microscopic scratches left over after a very light burnishing failed to remove them. Dark olive. Boldly struck and well preserved for this die pairing, with typical roughness from a damp environment. An appealing cent, and one which should attract considerable bidding.

Lot 305		1798 Draped Bust Cent. Style 1 hair. . S-148. Del Bland graded VF-30. There are shallow low areas on both sides. Under a glass a nick or two become visible, these are mentioned only for the sake of accuracy. Mixed light tan and medium dark steel brown. Tied for ninth finest known with four other examples but in heavy demand as a variety. The demand is from collectors who need a Style 1 hair, large 8 variety for their Guide Book collections, as well as constant demand from Large Cent variety collectors. Furthermore, this coin is greatly enhanced by the Newcomb pedigree, and having been off the market for 56 years! Keep that in mind when calculating your bid. Estimated Value $750 - 1,250. Ex. Howard R. Newcomb; J. C. Morgenthau & Co. #458 2/45:187 at $30. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,645
Lot 306		1798/7 Draped Bust Cent. . S-151. Del Bland graded VG-10. With blunt striking as usually seen on this variety. Sharpness of Extremely Fine 40 but scratches and small abrasions exist on the right half of the obverse, on the bust is a lightly corroded area, more light corrosion is scattered around the reverse, at the left base of F is a pit mark and the coin has been cleaned and nicely retoned to a dark reddish steel color. Not as bad in appearance as the description makes it sound. The overdate is strong, and the obverse surface problems are not too deep or problematic. Struck a bit off-center with a wide rim below the date and to the left on the obverse, similar on the reverse, with the wide rim at the top and right side; obviously the dies were not lined up when these were struck, accounting for the blunt striking. On the reverse, OF AME is weak. This coin has a lot of detail for the grade assigned and we expect a strong price despite the minor problems. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500. Ex. Dr. Christian A. Allenburger; B. Max Mehl M.B.S. 111 3/48:433 as "D-111 (S-150)" at $25. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 307		1798/7 Draped Bust Cent. . S-151. Del Bland graded VG-7. Darkish olive brown with some light dents around the denomination and a heavier rim dent over M in AMERICA. Estimated Value $250 - 325. View details	Realized $253
Lot 308		1798 Draped Bust Cent. . S-157. Del Bland graded EF-40. Sharper by five points but behind the bow is a thin vertical scratch and another one runs from the top of E in CENT to the rim between T and E in STATES, both of these blending so well into the patina that they are not readily visible. Both dies cracked and heavily rusted. Medium dark steel brown with tan high points. Highly attractive and very desirable. Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000. Ex: Joe Tomasko, Jr., 9/89. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Lot 313		1798 Draped Bust Cent. Style 2 hair. . S-169. Del Bland graded Fine-12.

Lot 320		1798 Draped Bust Cent. . S-184. Del Bland graded VF-35. With a small planchet lamination on the reverse rim. Sharpness of nearly EF-45 but in the right obverse field and on Liberty are several small nicks and on the face is a fine scratch. The lamination is over I in AMERICA, not too deep or distracting.

Ex: Brown's (Edinborough, Scotland) 10/14/55; Eugene Exman; C. Douglas Smith; Jerry A. Bobbe; Del Bland; Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior Galleries 2/92:879; Chris Victor-McCawley (CVM). View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 321		1798 Draped Bust Cent. . S-185. Del Bland graded Fine-12. Medium steel brown, quite clean and attractive.

Ex: Bowers and Merena Galleries 8/83; Jack H. Robinson; Superior Galleries 1/89:383: Phillip W. Clover. View details	Realized $242
Lot 322		1799 Draped Bust Cent. Sheldon-189, High Rarity-2. . S-189. Del Bland graded Fine-15. Lovely, semi-glossy dark steel surfaces from a protective coat of wax. The obverse is well centered with the date sharp and the upper portion of LIBE weakly struck as is the lower left reverse which is somewhat off-center and displays some minor handling marks, the worst being a nick across the leaves below C of CENT. This is a classic rarity and very desirable for a 1799 cent. The obverse is plated in the 1879 Frossard Monograph. For the date, this coin presents an exceptional opportunity. The obverse surfaces are very appealing, and the only identifying mark is a small rim tick above the left serif of the Y in LIBERTY. The date and Liberty are well struck, showing strong hair definition. On the reverse there is a tiny rim mark over the D of UNITED and the lower portions of reverse devices are weak, mostly due to the slightly off-center strike. One of the highlights of this extensive collection, and one of the most sought-after dates in the entire series. The mintage is unknown, having been lumped together with coins dated 1798, but obviously only a few were produced, normally on inferior planchets. Estimated Value $10,000-UP. Ex: John F. McCoy; W. Elliot Woodward; W. Elliot Woodward 5/1864: 670 at $27; Henry L. Jewett; Edward Cogan 1/1876:2098 at $14; George W.

Lot 323		1799 Draped Bust Cent. . S-189. Sharpness of Fine-15 net VG-7. Nice on the obverse, with a small rim mark near the ribbon, and one in the field above. Dark steel brown in color, and well struck. On the reverse there is a severe scratch from the rim between AT of STATES down to a pair of leaves on the right branch, and there is a dent on the numerator. A rare coin in any grade, and to find one with so much detail is difficult. Check it out. Estimated Value $4,000-UP. View details	Realized $7,188
Lot 324		1799 Draped Bust Cent. . S-189. Del Bland graded About Good-3. Porous surfaces with a few obverse scratches, all but one well hidden in the patina. The top of the date is readily visible as is most of LIBERTY and about half of the reverse is clear. Dark steel in color. Estimated Value $650 - 850. View details	Realized $1,093
Lot 325		1800 Draped Bust Cent. 1800 over 1798. . S-190. Del Bland graded Fine-15.

Lot 326		1800 Draped Bust Cent. 80 over 79. . S-194. Del Bland graded VG-7. Medium dark steel brown with an edge dent opposite the end of the nose and a long, dull obverse scratch. Estimated Value $60 - 100. View details	Realized $127
Lot 327		1800 Draped Bust Cent. 80 over 79. . S-195. Del Bland graded Fine-12. Sharpness of Very Fine 20 but cleaned, now an iridescent medium steel and light golden tan color. Behind the ribbon is a light diagonal dent and on each side is a very small edge dent. Late die state. A cent that could be improved. The obverse die state shows the well developed crack above RTY, but not the incuse letters from die clashing or the rim break. On the reverse, the crack is sharp through the CA and the fraction. Another coin with excellent surfaces for the grade, and a splendid pedigree. The overdate is deservedly popular with collectors. Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,750. Ex. Dr. George P. French 3/21/29; B. Max Mehl F.P.L., 1929: 242 at $10; Howard R. Newcomb; J. C. Morgenthau & Co. #458 2/45:280 at $23. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,840
Lot 328		1800 Draped Bust Cent. . S-197. PCGS graded AU-50 and Del Bland graded VF-30. With low areas on the obverse. Pleasing medium dark steel brown and defect free except for a few tiny carbon spots, the largest of which is midway between the end of the nose and the rim. Commonly called the "Q variety" for the curious die flaws in the two 0s, one of which makes the final 0 appear to be a "Q". It is noteworthy that these die flaws are also found on the 1800 Bolender-14 silver dollar, which exhibits die lumps in the same location on the date. The flaws appear to be bubbles in the die steel, which caused the die to sink displaying raised areas on the coins struck from these defective dies. Why were these die flaws located on the last two digits of the date on both the 1800 S-197 large cent and 1800 B-14 silver dollar? A curious coincidence, or something more? Perhaps we'll never know. Estimated Value $750 - 1,500. Ex: Howard R. Newcomb; J. C. Morgenthau & Co. #458 2/45:282 at $15. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,668
