Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 104		1800 C-1 R2. ANACS graded VF-35. Slightly glossy olive brown and chocolate. The surfaces are smooth and display only a few trivial contact marks. A dull diagonal nick over the top of the wreath is a good identifying mark. This piece is covered with a very thin layer of dirt that dulls the natural gloss. A bath may be indicated here to maximize the eye appeal. LDS, Manley state 5.0. The thick die break from the E in UNITED to the wreath is continuous. Our grade is VF25. Estimated Value $300-UP.

Lot 105		1800 C-1 R2 F15. Double Struck against Off-Center Blank Planchet. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown with smooth, attractive surfaces. No roughness or verdigris, only trivial contact marks including a very light rim bruise at the B in LIBERTY and a couple dull nicks high on the neck. Double struck. The first strike was normal and properly centered on the planchet, but the coin failed to eject from the press before another planchet was partially inserted into the chamber and another strike occurred. The obverse die struck the obverse a second time while the reverse die struck the new blank planchet and pressed it into the reverse of this piece about 40% off center leaving a strong indent. There was a slight rotation between strikes on the obverse leaving clear doubling on the lower part of the portrait and creating a date that reads "1188000." Weight 85.0 grains. A dramatic mint error and it comes with an important provenance. Estimated Value $750-UP. Ex Heritage Internet Auction 7/28/2004:13013-Ed Fuhrman 4/19/2006-Missouri Cabinet-The Davy Collection, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/19/2010:106 (lot ticket included).

Lot 107		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 F12. Slightly sharper but extremely faint roughness covers much of the obverse, strongest in the field behind the portrait. In addition there are a few tiny pits under the hair ribbon and a couple more in the field off the chin. The only notable marks are a very light rim bruise over the T in LIBERTY and a dull rim nick left of the L. Glossy reddish chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. The date and legends are strong and the overdate is obvious to the unaided eye. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0, with significant die rust (tiny lumps on the coin) showing on both sides. The microscopic environmental roughness on the obverse is mostly lost in the die rust, and this piece offers nice eye appeal. A popular overdate variety that is seldom seen in grades better than VG. Estimated Value $2,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 108		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803. PCGS graded Good-4. Chocolate brown and steel. The devices are smooth while the protected areas show microscopic roughness.

Great eye appeal with just a touch of rub on the highest points of the devices. The only marks are a spot of slightly darker chocolate brown toning over AL in HALF, a faint vertical scratch in this spot, and a collection of microscopic pinpricks over the N in CENT. None of these marks is distracting. LDS, Manley state 3.0.

Our grade is AU50. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,704
Lot 111		1803 C-1 R1 EF45. Beautiful frosty steel brown with lustrous golden light brown and tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. Essentially flawless showing only very light friction on the highpoints of the devices. A microscopic pinprick under the B in LIBERTY can help identify this piece, but it takes a strong glass to see it. LDS, Manley state 3.0. The die crack that arcs across the upper part of the reverse is clear and an additional crack from the rim over the M in AMERICA reaches through the tops of the adjacent E & R.

Lot 114		1803 C-4 R4. PCGS graded VF-35. Frosty steel brown and medium chocolate with traces of frosty luster in protected areas on the reverse. A small splash of darker chocolate toning at BE in LIBERTY contains traces of extremely fine roughness but the remainder of the planchet is smooth.

Lot 117		1804 C-2 R6 AG3. Off-Center Tab Strike. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but there is an area of roughness left of the hair ribbon. No verdigris and only minor contact marks, including several tiny pinpricks in the field above the bust. Recolored a mostly glossy chocolate brown with bluish steel overtones. The date is weak but easily readable and the legends are complete except for the I in UNITED, which is gone (the left edge of the reverse is always weakly struck on this variety). This piece appears to have been struck normally and then struck a second time way off center creating a tab on the rim left of the lower curls. The die struck the obverse rim while the opposing reverse rim was pressed into a new planchet. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0 late. There is a die crack through the top of IBERTY to the rim over the Y, and the area over TY is just starting to sink. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees CW, which is typical for the variety. About 25 examples are known of this very rare variety, and most of those are in low grade. Estimated Value $6,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $9,106
Lot 118		1804 C-4 R5 VG7. Sharpness F15 but covered with a mix of fine granularity and porosity. No verdigris, but there are some light scratches hidden in the patina, mostly behind the portrait.

Lot 119		1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin VF20. Double Struck over Obverse Brockage. Slightly sharper but lightly cleaned and nicely retoned glossy light olive and tan blending to light chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive showing only minor contact marks, including a tiny rim nick over the A in STATES. Double struck. The first strike was an obverse brockage that was centered on the planchet. The second strike was centered on the planchet as well, but it was rotated about 5 degrees CCW relative to the first impression on the obverse. The doubling is clearly visible on the date and most of the portrait. In addition there is clear obverse brockage undertype showing on the reverse including an incuse 04 from the date at S-O and parts of LIBERTY at the fraction and ICA. This is a neat mint error.

Nicely struck EDS with only a faint hint of swelling in the field before the portrait. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation.

Another F12 brought $41,400 in our sale of the Ray Rouse collection (9/14/2008:69). This piece is clearly in the condition census and it is the plate coin for the variety in the Manley book on US Half Cents. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Charles M.

The devices are mostly smooth while very fine roughness covers the rest of the planchet.

The repunching on the 6 is gone and the reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW from the normal head-to-foot die orientation.

Lot 142		1806 C-4 R1 Large Repunched 6 VF35.

A curved depression inside the top of the wreath is from the back of the head leading into the hair ribbon.

Lot 149		1808/7 C-1 R7 Overdate 8 over 7 AG3. Sharpness VG7 but there are numerous tiny pits mixed with fine granularity on both sides. A small area of shallow corrosion in the field before the neck and a smaller spot of corrosion at AL in HALF are the most-obvious marks. No verdigris or contact marks. Slightly glossy medium chocolate and darker steel. The date is complete and easily readable and the legends are complete except for weakness at OF AMERICA and the fraction thanks to an uneven strike on that side, as usual due to non-parallel die faces. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The die crack through the top of STAT to the dentils left the S is light but visible and the crack through the top of TED to t+X78he dentils is faint. To the best of our knowledge this is the only example known of the early state and an uncracked example is unknown. It is speculated that the non-parallel die faces and the uneven strike pressures that resulted from them are responsible for the early if not immediate cracking of the reverse die. This is the Manley plate coin for the variety (the large photos) and of the early die state (his state 1.0). Less than 10 examples are known and only 1 of those grades better than VG. A great rarity and a major key to completing a half cent collection by Cohen variety numbers, regardless of the die state. Estimated Value $20,000-UP. Ex Fred H. Borcherdt (who discovered it unattributed in a group of coins in 1980-81)-Steve Fischer-Richard Gross-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/1992:245-J. R. Frankenfield, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/17/2001:108 (Borcherdt collection envelope and Frankenfield lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
