Lot 450		1813 S-292 R2 Turban Head. PCGS graded VF-20. Off Center. Covered with uniform extremely faint granularity under a slightly glossy dark olive brown patina. The highpoints are toned in a lighter shade of steel brown and the eye appeal is decent in spite of the microscopic roughness. No verdigris but there is a scuff of faint hairline scratches from the cheek down to the bottom of the neck, all blending perfectly into the toning. Struck 10-15% off center to K-1.5. The date is bold and the legends are strong except for those parts that are off the planchet. Our grade is F12+ sharpness net VG8. The Off Center Mint Error and Holmes provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Raymond A.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,055
Lot 452		1814 S-294 R1 Turban Head, Crosslet 4 VF35. Ten points sharper and the eye appeal is excellent, but a strong glass reveals extremely faint roughness in the fields and protected areas. No verdigris, and the only marks are some barely visible hairline scratches on the neck and in the field before the portrait. Glossy dark steel and olive brown. Frost covers the fields and protected areas. LDS, Breen state II, with die clashmarks on both sides and a raised ridge at TATES OF AM. Estimated Value $2,500-UP.

Lot 453		1814 S-294 R1 Turban Head, Crosslet 4 VF20. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Smooth and attractive, just a few trivial contact marks from choice. A tiny rim bruise right of star 12 and a diagonal nick over the T in CENT are the notable marks. MDS with fine radial die flowlines near the dentils on both sides. Struck slightly off center to K-4. A nice example of a common variety. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Charles Hertan 5/5/2007-Rod Burress 6/13/2007. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $542
Lot 454		1814 S-295 R1 Turban Head, Plain 4 VG10. Glossy olive brown and steel. No roughness or notable marks, just worn.

Lot 455		1814 S-295 R1 Turban Head, Plain 4 G4. Double Struck Reverse Brockage Maker. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. No defects, just worn. This cent was struck two times with both strikes centered on the planchet but rotated maybe 5 degrees between the impressions. The doubling is obvious to the unaided eye on the obverse but the reverse shows only a single strike. In addition the reverse is bulged outward a bit which is typical of cents that were struck against a blank planchet during a second strike (in this case creating a reverse brockage on the second planchet). As a result the reverse shows considerably more wear than the obverse because it was slightly convex and had no protective rim. A neat mint error. Estimated Value $200-UP.
