Lot 226		1799/8 S-188 R4 Overdate 9 over 8 PCGS Genuine, Tooled.

Lot 227		1799 S-189 R2. NGC graded VF-20. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown. No corrosion or verdigris, only numerous small contact marks, none distracting but too many to ignore. A thin diagonal nick on the bottom of the second 9 and a dull nick under the second T in STATES are good identifying marks. E-MDS, Breen state II. The chip under the E in ONE is weak but visible. The bottom of the date is relatively weak thanks to the non-parallel die faces associated with this die state but the rest of the date is clear and the legends are strong. Our grade is F12+ sharpness net VG10. A decent example of a variety that is difficult to find without significant defects. Estimated Value $10,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 228		1799 S-189 R2 PCGS Genuine. Sharpness VF25 or a bit better but there is an obvious old scratch from the rim over the I in LIBERTY to the cheek just under the eye. Otherwise there are only minor contact marks including a faint hairline scratch on the cheek and a few microscopic ones at the date plus a rim bruise under the right side of the fraction. All the marks are old and blend nicely into the natural toning. The planchet is reasonably smooth but a glass reveals faint roughness under the glossy dark olive brown and steel toning, strongest at TES in STATES. M-LDS, Breen state IV late. Narrow rim cud breaks show at F-AM and CA. The date is complete and clear and the legends are strong. Our grade is VF25 sharpness net F12.

There is some minor roughness hidden under the wax but overall the surfaces appear to be decent. The notable marks are a dull nick in the field off the chin and a minor rim bruise left of the lowest curl. E-MDS, Breen state II. The die cracks at the bottom of the reverse are clear but there are no cuds. The date is bold, the overdate is obvious to the unaided eye, and the legends are strong.

Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state III, with a fine die crack from CA through the fraction bar to the dentils left of the denominator. The date and legends are bold and the overdate is obvious to the unaided eye. A superior cent, just a touch of friction on the highest points from mint state. Graded AU50 by Del Bland and tied for CC#8 honors in his census. Our grade is AU50. The attribution and Elder-Wadlington provenance are shown on the PCGS label. Pop 2; 3 finer, 1 in 62+, 2 in 63.

Lot 233		1800/79 S-195 R5 Overdate 80 over 79. ICG graded Fine-15. Slightly glossy olive brown. The surfaces appear smooth but a layer of very fine dirt covers most of the planchet. It looks like this cent has never been brushed or "improved" in any way. Perhaps a gentle bath is in order. The only marks are a shallow planchet lamination at the rim under the lowest curl and a tiny pit mark or planchet flake under the earlobe. EDS, Breen state I, before the die crack through the bases of TY in LIBERTY. Our grade is F15 net F12 for the dirt. At the lower end of the extended condition census for this tough variety.

Lot 244		1800 S-208 R3 F12. Sharpness VF20 but the entire obverse was burnished in an attempt to remove or minimize some roughness in the field between the bust and chin. Recolored glossy dark olive brown and steel. The only marks are a light rim bruise left of the lower end of the hair ribbon and a similar rim bruise at the D in UNITED. The obverse appears to have been coated with wax or "Sheldonized" which is a possibility since Dr. Sheldon once owned this cent (and graded it VF25). E-MDS, Breen state II late.

Lot 254		1801 S-219 R2 3-Error Reverse. NGC graded Fine-12. Frosty light to medium chocolate brown and steel. The planchet is covered with a thin layer of natural oxidation, and a proper brushing could bring out the underlying gloss. The surfaces are relatively smooth and offer nice eye appeal but a strong glass reveals uniform extremely fine granularity. No verdigris. The only marks are a few microscopic hairline scratches hidden in the toning on the upper part of the reverse. Rare E-MDS, Breen state II. The reverse is uncracked but there are die clashmarks at LIBE. The 3 die-cuter errors on the reverse are strong. Our grade is VG10. The attribution is shown on the NGC label. Estimated Value $500-UP.
