Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 338		1798 S-149 R4+ Large 8 with Style I Hair Fair-2. Sharpness G5, even better in some areas, but the planchet is uneven and very slightly bent thanks to several dull dents. No corrosion or verdigris, and the toning is an attractive glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate. The date is clear. EDS, Breen state I, before any trace of buckling at S-OF-A. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $147
Lot 339		1798/7 S-150 R5 Overdate 8 over 7 Fair-2. Glossy medium chocolate brown. No corrosion or verdigris, just a few marks consistent with a heavily worn cent. A short scratch in the hair under IB in LIBERTY, a dull dent under the hair ribbon, and some fine hairline scratches on the reverse are the notable defects. LDS with heavy swelling on the reverse. The date is strong and the overdate is obvious. In fact the date is the strongest feature showing on this cent, but enough of the reverse remains visible to be certain of the correct attribution. Estimated Value $60-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $141
Lot 340		1798/7 S-151 R3 Overdate 8 over 7 AG3+. Rather glossy medium brown and light chocolate with darker chocolate brown toning in protected areas. The devices are mostly smooth while microscopic granularity covers the protected areas. No verdigris. The only marks are a scuff of faint hairline scratches on the obverse and a nick or chip over ON in ONE. MDS with swelling in the obverse fields. The date is clear and the legends are easily readable, although a few letters are weak. Estimated Value $60-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $141
Lot 341		1798. Style 1 hair. Lightly cleaned and retoned a rather glossy olive and dark steel brown with lighter reddish brown toning in some of the protected areas on the reverse. Nothing about this cent suggests it was "Smoothed" so I suspect PCGS meant to say "Cleaning." No marks or other defects, and this cent offers nice eye appeal. The date is bold and the legends are complete. LDS, Breen state III, with obvious swelling on the reverse and a radial die crack from the rim to the upper edge of the bust. Our grade is VF20 net F15. The "1st Hair Style" feature is noted on the PCGS label (PCGS # 1431) . Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $734
Lot 342		1798 S-154 R4+ Large 8, Style I Hair VG10. Five points sharper but there are traces of hard crud mixed with shallow verdigris in some of the protected areas on both sides, strongest at ICA in AMERICA. Otherwise just a few light contact marks, a dull diagonal nick low on the neck the only notable one. Rather glossy dark olive brown. MDS, Breen state II, with obvious swelling at ED in UNITED. The date and legends are bold. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Jim Long 3/24/2001-John Pijewski, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior5/29/2005:1323-Rod Burress 7/25/2005 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $341
Lot 343		1798 S-161 R2 Small 8, Style I Hair VF25. Glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate with traces of lighter brown toning in protected areas. No roughness or verdigris, only light contact marks. The only notable marks are a very light rim bruise under the lowest curl and a dull rim nick at IC in AMERICA, and neither mark is distracting. M-LDS, Breen state IX, with a strong cud break connecting TE in STATES to the rim with a slightly raised retained cud break affecting the adjacent TA. Very shallow low spots cover the field around the leaves under MERICA. A nice example of a neat die state. Removed from a PCGS slab graded VF30 (PCGS label #1431.30/04143203 included). Estimated Value $750-UP. Ex Doug Durasoff 11/2007-Ed Leitner. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,028
Lot 344		Trio of 1798 Cents with Style I Hair. Includes S-164 R4 Style I Hair with Small 8 VF20 net G4 for corrosion, S-167 R1 Style II Hair with Large 8 F12 net VG8 for granularity, and S-183 R5 Style II Hair with Small 8 G4 net AG3 for recoloring. All have a readable date. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details	Realized $294
Lot 345		1798 S-165 R4 Large 8, Style II Hair F15. Five points sharper but there is a patch of microscopic roughness hidden in the hair near the ear. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a couple light contact marks under LI and into the hair, a rim nick under the 79, and a light rim bruise under the right side of the denominator. Rather glossy steel and olive brown blended with reddish chocolate toning in the hair were the microscopic roughness resides. Nicely struck MDS Breen state II, with die clashmarks at the throat but an uncracked reverse. The second T in STATES was first punched inverted, then corrected, and the top of the inverted T is clear. A nice example of a variety that's difficult to find in grades better than VG. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 346		1798 S-166 R1 Large 8, Style II Hair VF35. Glossy light olive and steel brown with overtones of sea green and light bluish steel. There is very little wear on this cent but the strike is uneven, as often seen on this variety, thanks to dies that were out of proper axial alignment (the die faces were not parallel). This improper die alignment probably caused the strong die crack on the reverse which is located at the place where the dies came the closest when striking a cent. The crack must have occurred very early in the marriage and an uncracked example is unknown. No roughness or verdigris and only a few trivial contact marks. The notable ones are a short diagonal scratch in the field off the lower end of the hair ribbon and a couple very small nicks on the neck. MDS, Breen state IV, with a strong die crack arcing from the dentils through the E in UNITED, the wreath, and the fraction ending at the rim under the right side of the denominator. The reverse is rotated 35 degrees CCW. The bust, lower half of the 798, and the opposing OF-A on the reverse are all weakly struck. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 347		1798 S-167 R1 Large 8, Style II Hair F15. Sharpness EF40 but covered with uniform extremely fine roughness under a partially glossy dark olive brown and steel patina. There is a speck of verdigris at the tip of the nose but no notable contact marks. Sharply struck EDS. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $435
Lot 348		1798 S-169 R3 G6 but Counterstamped. Glossy medium chocolate and olive with smooth, attractive surfaces. No defects, but there is a large counterstamp covering nearly the entire head of Ms. Liberty. The stamp is a large raised "T" inside an incuse heart, and the style appears to be quite old. Unlisted in Brunk and the first example of the counterstamp seen by this cataloger. The date is strong but the central part of the reverse was flattened by the stamp. Estimated Value $50-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $82
Lot 349		1798 S-172 R2 Small 8, Style II Hair VG8+. Clipped Planchet. Close to VG10 but there are too many tiny nicks scattered over the obverse for the higher grade. None of the nicks is distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is nice for the grade. No roughness or verdigris. Glossy medium chocolate brown. Rare TDS, Breen state VI, with a cud break connecting ICA to the rim above. A curved planchet clip affects the dentils over ER in LIBERTY and the opposing ones under the fraction. Estimated Value $80-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $165
Lot 350		1798 S-174 R2 Small 8, Style II Hair VG7. Sharpness near VF20 where the details were properly struck up, but the obverse is covered with myriad light scratches, all blended into the natural toning. The major flaw on this cent is the uneven strike. The bottom part of the obverse and opposing upper part of the reverse were poorly struck due to axial die misalignment (the die faces were not parallel). As a result the date is faint with only the 98 partially visible, and most of STATES is gone as well. Glossy dark chocolate brown and steel with lighter chocolate toning on the highpoints. LDS, Breen state V. The die clashmarks are strong and the lower half of the numerator is very thin. An interesting piece in spite of the obverse scratches. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $118
Lot 351		1798 S-179 R2 Small 8, Style II Hair VF20. Variety with E over Inverted E in AMERICA. Rather glossy medium chocolate brown and steel mixed with hints of reddish chocolate brown toning on the reverse. No corrosion, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. The notable marks are a light rim bruise under the 1 in the denominator and an old pin scratch at the dentil tips over TED in UNITED. EDS, Breen state I. The date and legends are strong and the E over Inverted E feature is obvious. Removed from a PCGS slab graded VF30 (PCGS label #1434.30/22027917 included). Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $823
Lot 352		1798 S-181 R3 Small 8, Style II Hair VF20. Glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. Smooth and attractive, just minor contact marks of no consequence. A tiny diagonal nick on the upright of the E in LIBERTY is the best identifying mark, and it is barely visible. M-LDS, Breen state III late, with die cracks at the bust tip creating a very slightly raised retained cud. The "Large 0's over Small 0's feature in the denominator is clear. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex "J. D."-Rod Burress 8/2006. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $705
Lot 353		1798 S-184 R1 Style II Hair with Small 8 VF20. Sharpness EF40 or a bit better but there are numerous light rim bruises on both sides, none notable but too many to ignore. The only other marks are a collection of dull pinpricks on the neck. Glossy steel and light olive brown. MDS. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex 1982 ANA Sale, Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions:1504-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $588
Lot 354		1798 S-186 R2 Small 8, Style II Hair VG7. Glossy chocolate brown and steel with lighter brown toning in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and attractive. The only marks are a pair of minor rim bruises opposite the mouth and a rim dent left of the fraction. The date and legends are complete and clear. M-LDS, Breen state VI, with a cud break that involves both 0's in the denominator. The die crack arcing from that cud to ME in AMERICA is strong. Estimated Value $80-UP. Ex Doug Durasoff 2/16/2008-Ed Leitner. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $141
Lot 355		Group of 5 Early Cents, 1798 & 1803. Includes 1798 S-179 R2 Style II Hair with Small 8 G5 net AG3 for light corrosion, 1803 S-245 R3 Small Fraction F15 net G6 for light corrosion, 1803 S-257 R2 Large Fraction VG8 net G5 for verdigris spots, 1803 S-258 R1 Large Fraction VG8 net AG3 for dents, and 1803 S-260 R1 Large Fraction AG3. All have a clear date. Lot of 5 coins. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details	Realized $235
Lot 356		1799 S-189 R2 Fair-2. The obverse is marginally better while the reverse is weaker. Both sides are covered with tiny nicks mixed with traces of microscopic roughness, but there is no verdigris. Fortunately the date is relatively strong, especially the second 9 which is nearly complete. Slightly glossy chocolate brown and steel. Estimated Value $800-UP. Ex Robert Bowser, 2011 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 5/14/2011:234-Rod Burress 6/4/2011 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,058
Lot 357		1799 S-189 R2 Fair-2. Slightly sharper but there are numerous light contact marks on both sides, including several old scratches on the obverse and a half dozen small rim bumps, strongest on the right side of the reverse. Glossy chocolate brown with no trace of corrosion or verdigris. The date is worn into the rim so only the upper half is clear, and there is an nick on the bottom of the second 9, but it is a 1799. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge Collection. View details	Realized $423
Lot 358		1799 S-189 R2 (EAC Basal State-1). PCGS graded Poor-1. Glossy bluish steel and medium chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and void of marks, just heavily worn. Choice for the grade. The upper half of the date is clear but the lower half is worn away, and maybe a third of LIBERTY can be made out. Most of the reverse is worn smooth. Our grade is Fair-2 for the obverse but barely BS-1 for the reverse, so our grade is consistent with the slab grade. Estimated Value $800-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,234
Lot 359		1800/798 S-190 R3 Overdate 800 over 978, Style I Hair VG10. Mostly glossy dark steel and chocolate brown. The hair details suggest a slightly higher grade, but there is a small patch of very fine roughness at IB in IBERTY and the remainder of the planchet shows extremely faint roughness under strong magnification. The eye appeal, however, is quite nice for the grade. No other defects. MDS, Breen state II, with die clashmarks at the neck. The 8 over 7 in the date is clear while the rest of the overdate is faint. Estimated Value $80-UP. Ex Tom Reynolds 5/9/2008-Rod Burress 10/20/2008. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $100
Lot 360		1800/798 NC-6 R6+ Overdate 800 over 798, Style I Hair G5+. A point or two sharper but there are traces of microscopic roughness on otherwise smooth surfaces. The roughness is most noticeable at OF AMER where there are microscopic traces of greenish verdigris, but it is not distracting. Both sides show some light contact marks, all consistent with the grade. The notable ones are a light rim bruise at the N in UNITED and a dull diagonal nick over the N in ONE. Mostly glossy dark chocolate brown and steel mixed with some lighter chocolate brown on the obverse. The date and legends are complete and clear and the repunching on the base of the F in OF is obvious. In addition the upper edge of the ends of the wreath stems slants down, which is diagnostic for this rare variety. Not perfect but very close to net G6. Graded VG7 net G5 by Noyes and Bland, Noyes photo #28576. Tied for CC#6 honors and only a single example is known that grades better than VG7 among the 15 examples known. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Discovered unattributed in 5/1987 by Tom Reynolds 7/22/1987-R. S. Brown, Jr., Superior 1/27/1996:261-J. R. Frankenfield, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/17/2001:449-Terry Denman. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 361		1800/79 S-193 R4 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair VG8. Sharpness F12 but the surfaces are uneven under glossy steel brown and tan toning blending to darker reddish chocolate in protected areas. This cent was cleaned and retoned and both sides are covered with a thin coat of wax or some similar substance. No verdigris. A dull nick in the field off the chin is the only notable mark. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack arcing through UN and the fraction bar. The date and legends are complete and the overdate is obvious. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $165
Lot 362		1800/79 S-194 R3 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair VF20. Sharpness VF35 but there are at least a half dozen light rim bruises on both sides, none significant but far too many to ignore. Otherwise this cent is smooth and quite attractive. Glossy medium chocolate brown. E-MDS, Breen state III, with die clashmarks on both sides and a die crack through CA and the fraction bar, but no cud breaks. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $676
Lot 363		1800/79 S-194 R3 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair VG10. Glossy medium chocolate brown delicately mottled with slightly darker olive brown. No roughness or verdigris, only minor contact marks. The notable ones are a thin diagonal nick on TE in STATES and another inside the top of the wreath. LDS, Breen state VIII. An irregular cud break extends from the second A in AMERICA to slightly beyond the fraction and reaches up to the second 0 in the denominator. Another cud break reaches inside the dentils over the C in AMERICA. This is the plate coin for state VIII in the Breen encyclopedia. The upper part of the reverse is softly struck while the lower half is bold. The date and legends are complete and clear, and the overdate feature is obvious to the unaided eye. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Chris McCawley-Doug Durasoff 8/2007-Ed Leitner. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $517
Lot 364		1800/79 S-195 R5 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair G5. Glossy medium chocolate brown and olive. There is no significant roughness, only small nicks consistent with the grade, none notable.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $200
Lot 365		1800 S-199 R4 G6+. Very slightly sharper with extremely faint roughness well hidden under attractive glossy dark olive brown toning. No verdigris, and the only marks are two tiny intersecting nicks on the cheek and a larger dull nick in the center of the reverse. MDS, Breen state VI, with a small cud break at the top of the F in OF and significant swelling that weakens the central details on the reverse. The date and legends outside the wreath are strong. Nice for the grade, close to VG7. Estimated Value $80-UP. Ex Coin Galleries 11/12/2003:1503-John Pijewski, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 5/29/2005:1377 (lot ticket included)-Rod Burress 7/25/2005. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $200
Lot 366		1800 S-199 R4 G5. Off Center. Several points sharper but lightly corroded, strongest in the fields and protected areas. No marks or verdigris. The toning is a rather glossy light chocolate brown on the devices and darker olive brown in the fields and protected areas. The two-tone appearance accents the devices and the eye appeal of this cent is decent in spite of the roughness. MDS, Breen state IV, with a tiny cud break in the dentils over the F in OF (this cud would not show if the strike was centered on the planchet). Struck at least 5% off center to K-10 leaving some letters of the legend tight against the edge of the planchet. The date is strong and the legends are clear. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex R. Anthony 4/2005-Ed Leitner. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $76
Lot 367		1800 S-202 R4+ G5. Sharpness VF20 but covered with uniform light to moderate roughness under slightly glossy dark olive brown toning. No verdigris, and the only mark of any significance is a short dig in the field before the neck. MDS, Breen state II late. The die failure on the obverse is strong and swelling nearly obliterates STATES. Otherwise the date and legends are complete and clear. Looks better than the net grade might imply. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $94
Lot 368		Trio of Large Cents, 1800-1803. Includes 1800 S-202 R4+ M-LDS G5 net AG3 for light corrosion, 1802 S-240 R3 MDS VG7 net G4 for light corrosion, and 1803 S-243 R2 Stemless Wreath and Doubled Fraction Bar G5 net G4 for a planchet lamination at the 18 in the date. All have an easily readable date. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details	Realized $129
Lot 369		1800 S-205 R4 VF20+. Sharpness VF30 but there are some light contact marks scattered over the planchet. The notable ones are a dull vertical nick in the hair under the B in LIBERTY, a minor rim bruise left of the lowest curl, several small pinpricks on the bust, and a few more in the space right of the second S in STATES. Mostly glossy dark steel brown and light olive. MDS, Breen state II. The horizontal die crack from the middle curls is clear but it appears to fade out before reaching the rim, and the die clashmarks in the field before the neck are clear. Removed from an ANACS slab graded VF30 (ANACS label #4140736 included). Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $588
Lot 370		1800 S-207 R3 VG10. Slightly sharper but there are areas of fine roughness on both sides, strongest at S-OF. Both sides show a few contact marks, including an obvious rim nick between the 8 & 0 in the date and a dull nick on the D in UNITED. Rather glossy medium to dark chocolate brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the reverse devices. MDS, Breen state III, with a die crack from the top of the second 0 in the denominator to the right end of the fraction bar. The shallow cud break that connects the first 0 in the denominator to the rim below is faint. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $176
Lot 371		1800 NC-3 R6- NGC graded VG Details, Damaged. Mostly glossy dark chocolate brown and steel. The devices are smooth but there is shallow roughness in the fields and protected areas, strongest in the field before the portrait. In addition there are numerous dull, shallow scratches around the date and parts of the legend outside the wreath. The date and legends are complete and clear, and the diagnostic spike up from the top of the I in AMERICA is obvious. Our grade is G6+ sharpness net G4. The attribution is shown on the NGC label. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $969
Lot 372		Group of Six 1800 & 1801 Cents graded Fair-2 to Good-6. Average grade is AG3+.

Lot of 6 coins. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details	Realized $165
Lot 373		1801 S-216 R1. NGC graded MS-62 Brown. Frosty light to medium chocolate brown and steel with underlying mint luster covering both sides. Just the lightest touch of rub is visible on the highest points of the devices. There is a thin layer of natural oxidation covering this cent, and it appears it has never been brushed. The only mark is a faint spot of slightly darker toning from a dusting of fine carbon in the field before the neck. M-LDS, Breen state II late. The strike along the upper edge of LIBERTY is incomplete and the tops of those letters are missing. Similar weakness shows along the opposing dentil tips on the bottom of the reverse. Both dies are obviously well worn and there are die clashmarks inside the wreath, but the reverse die remains uncracked. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Mervis provenance are shown on the NGC label. Estimated Value $4,000-UP. Ex Adam Mervis, Heritage 1/10/2014:2744. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,583
Lot 374		Pair of 1801 & 1802 Cents. Includes 1801 S-216 R1 LDS VG8, and 1802 S-228 R2 Error Fraction 1/000 F15 net VG8 for light granularity. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details	Realized $188
Lot 375		1801 S-218 R5 3-Error Reverse Fair-2. A point or two sharper, especially on the reverse, but the fields and protected areas are covered with fine roughness, No verdigris, and the only marks are some faint hairline scratches hidden in the toning on both sides. Dark chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The date is weak but still readable and at least half of the legends remain visible--but nothing is strong. The missing left stem on the wreath and blundered U in UNITED (first inverted, then corrected) are visible, but the 000 error in the denominator is gone. EDS, Breen state I, before the strong die clashmarks at ERTY. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $388
Lot 376		1801 S-219 R2 3-Error Reverse NGC graded XF Details, Environmental Damage. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel with lighter chocolate brown toning on the devices. The surfaces are decent and look smooth to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals minor roughness on both sides. No verdigris but there are traces of crud in protected areas. The only notable marks are some nicks around the ear and a few pinpricks on the neck under the earlobe. MDS, Breen state V, with two die cracks arcing through and below UNIT and the fraction. The date and legends are complete and strong, and all 3 of the die-cutter errors are obvious. Our grade is VF30 sharpness net F15. Estimated Value $800-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $823
Lot 377		1801 S-219 R2 3-Error Reverse VG8. Slightly sharper but there is a cut on the rim over AT in STATES and a smaller one under the fraction, but neither one reaches inside the dentils. In addition there are faint hairline scratches on the portrait and a couple very shallow pit marks in the field before the face while the remainder of the planchet is smooth. Glossy medium chocolate brown with traces of lighter brown in protected areas on the reverse. EDS-MDS, Breen state II. There are dull die clashmarks through ERTY but no die cracks on the reverse. All 3 of the die-cutter errors are clear (missing left stem, 000 denominator, and U over Inverted U in UNITED). A decent example for the grade. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Jim Long-Rod Burress 9/10/2008. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $376
Lot 378		1801 S-220 R3 Error Fraction 1/000 VF20+. Sharpness VF30 but there is a patch of very fine reddish corrosion on the leaves under IT in UNITED. The obverse is covered with tiny contact marks, none significant but too many for the sharpness grade. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate with splashes of darker chocolate brown toning on the reverse and frosty lighter brown in protected areas. Rare TDS, Breen state VIII. In addition to several die cracks and strong clashmarks there are narrow rim cud breaks under the date, a stronger cud connecting the tops of the A & M in AMERICA to the rim, and a tiny cud extending inside the dentils over the A in STATES. These dies were worn out. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Doug Durasoff 12/2007-Ed Leitner. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $764
Lot 379		1801 S-224 R1. NGC graded VF-25. Rather glossy steel and chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and nearly void of marks giving this cent excellent eye appeal. A small diagonal nick on the cheek is the only mark, and it is insignificant. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks or cuds. Our grade is F15+ choice, very close to VF20. The attribution is shown on the NGC label. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Heritage Auctions #1174:3248. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,087
Lot 380		1801 NC-3 R6+ Error Fraction 1/000 G5. Clipped Planchet. Sharpness F12 or a bit better but both sides are covered with moderate granularity. No verdigris. The only mark is a dull scratch across the center of the neck into the hair, and this mark is mostly hidden in the roughness and toning. Slightly glossy chocolate brown. The date and legends are complete and clear. A small, curved planchet clip over BE in LIBERTY just touches the top of that E and reaches the base of the dentils under the error (1/000) fraction. Not perfect but still comparable to the Breen plate coin for this very rare variety. Only 15 examples are known and the finest grades VG8. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Superior 2/16/1976:1466-Dr. William E. Hopkins, 2003 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 4/26/2003:452-Terry Denman. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,350
Lot 381		1802 NC-1 R5+ VG7. Description: a couple points sharper but there are several small contact marks on the cheek plus a few more in the field before the face. The surfaces are mostly smooth but traces of minor roughness can be found on both sides. No verdigris. Slightly glossy dark steel brown with lighter steel brown highpoints. MDS showing a die crack from the right edge of the B in LIBERTY down to the earlobe. The date and legends are complete and clear. An acceptable example of this rare variety. Estimated Value $600-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $382
Lot 382		1802 S-228 R2 Error Fraction 1/000 PCGS Genuine, AU Details, Environmental Damage. Attractive frosty light to medium chocolate brown. This cent offers great "naked" eye appeal, but a glass reveals microscopic porosity and granularity, strongest in the field behind the portrait. No verdigris, and the only notable marks are a small chip out of the planchet in the field over the bust tip, a dull rim nick behind the head, and a collection of tiny nicks on the A in STATES. M-LDS, Breen state IV, with several die cracks on the reverse. The Error Fraction is clear, and this feature is shown on the PCGS label. Our grade is EF45+ sharpness net VF20.

Lot 383		1802 S-230 R1 F15. Sharpness VF35 with uniform very fine granularity under rather glossy chocolate and olive brown toning. No marks or verdigris, and the eye appeal is quite nice in spite of the microscopic roughness. EDS. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $306
Lot 384		1802 S-231 R1 Stemless Wreath VF30. Five points sharper but there is a small splash of reddish chocolate toning on the numerator and left end of the wreath ribbon. Otherwise the toning is a very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. A thin nick across the base of the 2 is the only notable contact mark. M-LDS, Breen state VII, with a series of die cracks at RTY and in the field before the portrait. The Stemless Wreath feature is bold. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Rod Burress 11/2/2011.

Lot 385		1802 S-232 R1 F12. Sharpness EF40 but the upper part of the obverse is covered with fine roughness mixed with traces of lacquer, and there is microscopic pitting around UN in UNITED. The remainder of the planchet is smooth and most of the reverse is choice. Partly glossy medium brown and darker chocolate. MDS, Breen state IV. The die clashmarks on the reverse are clear. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $212
Lot 386		1802 S-236 R1 VF20+. Ten points sharper but there are some contact marks on otherwise smooth, choice surfaces. Most of the contact marks are rim bruises, strongest at the lower curls. The only marks other than the half dozen rim bruises are a small dig in the dentils under the 0 in the date and an even smaller one in the field near the dentils over the bust tip. Attractive glossy light olive and medium chocolate brown. MDS, Breen state VI, with die cracks and clashmarks but no cud. Curiously a small "12" has been inconspicuously punched into the edge under the date, and S-236 is the 12th variety in the Doughty sequence of 1802 varieties (D-175). Can't be a coincidence. Estimated Value $500-UP. From "an old New England collection"-Robert LeBlanc 6/1982-Denis W. Loring 7/1982-Tom Reynolds 1/1988-Harry Salyards, 2012 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 5/5/2012:199 (the lot ticket is included along with the Reynolds and Salyards envelopes).

Lot 387		1802 S-237 R2 EF45. Glossy medium chocolate brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel in the fields and protected areas. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal. A light diagonal scratch left of the eye visible only under magnification and a very light rim bruise over the M in AMERICA are the only notable marks. Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state III, with a fine die crack arcing from the dentils through the N in UNITED and the wreath to the ribbon bow and another from the dentils through the M to the leaf below. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-3 while the reverse is nearly centered on the planchet. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
