Lot 110		1794 S-20b R5 Head of 1794, Straight Date Fair-2+. The obverse is slightly better while the reverse is a bit weaker. Both sides display a mix of microscopic roughness and smooth surface. No verdigris. The only contact marks worthy of mention are a few thin, old scratches on the neck. Partially glossy medium brown blending to darker chocolate in protected areas.

Lot 111		1794 S-24 R1 PCGS graded AU58. The "Apple Cheek" variety, so-named because of the high-relief cheek of Ms Liberty. Choice lustrous medium chocolate brown and steel with smooth, nearly flawless surfaces. The surfaces are covered with satiny mint frost and the eye appeal is outstanding in every respect. Just a hint of rub on the highest points of the devices from mint state. The only notable mark, and it is barely visible, is a tiny planchet flake near the dentils left of the bottom of the cap. M-LDS, Breen state V, with a die crack from the dentils just right of the 4 up through the bust to the upper neck where it fades out, a lighter crack from the dentils down through the L to the junction of the cap and hair, and several wavy die defects just right of the denominator. The central part of the reverse is clearly bulged outward, but ONE CENT is strong. The strike is sharp and almost perfectly centered on a beautiful planchet. This important example of the "Apple Cheek" variety is graded AU55 Choice and CC#7 in the Noyes census. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#6 honors. Our grade is AU55. The finest example of the variety listed in the census of collections formed by the "Boyz of 1794" is also graded AU55. The obverse of this cent was plated in Dr. Sheldon's Early American Cents and it comes with an outstanding provenance that can be traced back more than a century. PCGS population 3; 1 in 63.

Lot 112		1794 S-25 R3 VF25. Sharpness EF40 but the obverse is covered with uniform very fine granularity on all but the highpoints, which are nearly smooth. No verdigris and the only marks are some light scratches on the portrait, all blended perfectly into the attractive mostly glossy light to medium chocolate brown toning. The reverse is much nicer, nearly choice, with only minor imperfections. EDS, Breen state I. Graded net VF25 in the Bland/Breen condition census. The obverse is plated in the Tom Morley book on the cents of 1794. This cent comes with an impressive provenance that includes numerous heavyweights of large cent collecting, and the "H" and "D" in HUNDRED on the edge are filled with yellow ink signifying this cent was in the famous collection of Homer K. Downing. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Oscar J. Pearl, Numismatic Gallery FPL 1944:40-Henry C. Hines-Dr. William H. Sheldon-Homer K.

Lot 113		1794 S-31 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate and steel brown with a hint of reddish brown toning inside the wreath.

Lot 114		1794 S-32 R2 F15. Glossy medium brown blending to darker olive brown in protected areas. The surfaces are mostly smooth but traces of microscopic roughness can be found in the protected areas on both sides. The notable marks are a small horizontal nick left of the eye and a spot of shallow carbon right of the Y in LIBERTY. M-LDS, Breen state IV. Unevenly struck, as usual in this die state due to the 45 degree CCW rotation of the dies, with weakness along the right edge of the obverse and the opposing lower right edge of the reverse. Otherwise the devices are well struck. The die crack from the rim through the first S in STATES is strong and it reaches the O in ONE. The cud break over the L in LIBERTY is obvious. Removed from a PCGS slab graded VF20 (label #35561.20/15010255 included, and it shows the Ellsworth provenance). Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex McLaughlin & Robinson Auction #4229, 2/1987:215-Colonel Steven Ellsworth collection 2010-John Koebert (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,351
Lot 115		1794 S-36 R5 VG8+. A "Single Berry left of Bow variety." Sharpness F15 but covered with fine granularity mixed with microscopic pits, strongest at the top of the reverse. The highpoints of the devices are smooth. No verdigris, but there are some rim bruises, mostly on the reverse. The notable ones are opposite the mouth and over the F in OF. The toning is an attractive slightly glossy light olive and steel brown. The date and legends are complete and easily readable although some elements are weakened by the roughness. The Single Berry feature is obvious to the unaided eye. MDS, Breen state II. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 2/18/2001:2130-Colonel Steven Ellsworth collection 2009-John Koebert (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $764
Lot 116		1794 S-38 R5 VG10+. A "Single Berry left of Bow variety." Rotated Reverse. Slightly sharper but there is a patch of very shallow verdigris at the L in LIBERTY, another at TED-S, and some more in protected areas around the leaves right of the E in CENT. The remainder of the planchet is smooth and the only notable signs of contact are a light rim bruise over the L in LIBERTY and a shallow mark on the rim off the tip of the bust. Glossy medium brown and light olive with reddish brown toning in parts of the fields and protected areas. EDS, Breen state II. Both of the "chips" in the field under the cap are clear, the inner one strongest as always. Struck with the reverse rotated 50 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. The date and legends are complete and clear, and the Single Berry feature is bold. Estimated Value $800-UP. Ex Bowers & Ruddy 4/1978:49-Denis Loring-Del Bland-Dr. George E.

Lot 117		1794 S-48 R5 "Starred Reverse" VG7. Sharpness VF25 but covered with very fine granularity mixed with several nearly black patches of marginally more significant porosity. Slightly glossy very dark steel and olive brown. The only contact mark is a shallow rim bruise at the top of the cap. The date and legends are complete and at least half of the tiny stars are visible among the dentils on the reverse. The details visible on this example of arguably the most famous variety of 1794 are well above average, but the eye appeal is clearly below average. MDS, Breen state II. Estimated Value $15,000-UP. Ex David Stagg 3/2003-Rick Gross 9/10/2004-Colonel Steven Ellsworth 2004-John Koebert. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $18,213
Lot 118		1794 S-51 R4 F15. Sharpness near VF35 but covered with fine roughness, especially on the reverse where there are areas of shallow pitting and microscopic specks of verdigris. The only other mark is a shallow planchet void on the rim over UNI. The obverse is an attractive glossy chocolate and olive brown with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The reverse is a less attractive but still rather glossy reddish chocolate and darker steel. The strike is uneven, particularly on the reverse where there is obvious weakness along the right edge that severely weakens AMERICA. Overall the grade for the obverse would be an attractive VF30 but the reverse would rate a net VG8 at best. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the obverse. Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex Fred Columbo (Chicago) 9/9/2001-Colonel Steven Ellsworth 2009-John Koebert. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $517

No verdigris, but there is a rim dent opposite the nose, a small dig at LI, and another at the T in LIBERTY. Rather glossy chocolate brown and steel blending to darker olive brown in protected areas. The date and legends are complete and strong. LDS, Breen state III. The die crack from the dentils to the hair under the cap is clear. A decent if imperfect example of the popular "Office Boy Reverse" variety, so-called because of the amateurish layout of the legends on that side. Estimated Value $600-UP. Ex Cantonsville Early Copper Coins 12/5/2004-Colonel Steven Ellsworth-John Koebert. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,410
Lot 120		1794 S-57 R1 PCGS graded VF35. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with hints of reddish brown toning in some of the protected areas. This piece is smooth and quite nice for the grade, but there are a few contact marks. A light rim bruise opposite the chin, a few small planchet chips in the field left of the bottom of the cap, and a speck of verdigris at the leaf tip under the C in AMERICA are the only notable defects. M-LDS, Breen state IV. Softly struck at the top of the cap and at the opposing area at UNI. Otherwise the date and legends are all strong. Our grade is VF25. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex David Finebay-Colonel Steven Ellsworth 12/12/2009-John Koebert. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,468
Lot 121		1794 S-60 R3 PCGS graded VF30. Rotated Reverse. Choice glossy light to medium chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are smooth and attractive except for a collection of small contact marks around NT in CENT, none significant but too many to ignore. M-LDS, Breen state IV, showing clear die clashmarks on both sides. The U in UNITED is weakly struck but everything else is strong and the reverse is rotated 30 degrees clockwise. Our grade is VF30. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Evan Kopald FPL 2006-Chris McCawley 3/31/2011-John Koebert. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,173

Lot 123		1794 S-61 R4 F12. A couple points sharper but there is a rim bruise over BE in LIBERTY and another over IT in UNITED. The devices are smooth but the protected areas are covered with uniform very fine granularity. No verdigris. Glossy dark olive brown in the fields and protected areas with lighter brown toning covering the devices. The two-tone appearance accents the details and adds to the eye appeal of this cent. MDS, Breen state II, showing die clashmarks on both sides. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,028
Lot 124		1794 S-63 R2 VG8. Rotated Reverse. Sharpness F15 but covered with fine roughness, strongest on the hair and cap. No verdigris or marks.

No verdigris, and the only marks are a rim nick under the bust and several faint vertical hairline scratches hidden in the granularity in the center of the reverse. The toning is a decent and very slightly glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. LDS, Breen state V, with a strong die crack through the D in UNITED that passes through the wreath and reaches the C in CENT. The date and most of the legends are clear, but the fraction is weak, as usual on this variety, and the denominator is gone. Estimated Value $500-UP.

Lot 126		1794 S-68 R5 Head of 1795 G5. The obverse is slightly better while the reverse is a bit weaker, perhaps a 7/3 split. Glossy dark steel and chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and display only a few trivial marks, none significant. LDS, Breen state V, with a strong die crack bisecting the obverse. The date and LIBERTY are strong and most of the legend on the reverse can be made out with some effort. Estimated Value $750-UP. Ex Chris McCawley 3/4/2010-John Koebert. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $823
Lot 127		1794 S-70 R2 Head of 1795 VF20. Five points sharper but there is a rim dent under the bust tip. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and the eye appeal is quite nice for the grade.

Lot 129		1795 S-75 R3 Lettered Edge VF20. Sharpness VF35 but there are a few small patches of shallow corrosion on the reverse, all in inconspicuous places. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive. The corroded areas are just left of the denominator, at the dentil tips over the D in UNITED, above ES in STATES, and over AM in AMERICA. No verdigris and only a few trivial contact marks, none notable. Glossy chocolate brown and steel. MDS, Breen state IV, with fine die cracks on both sides and minor swelling in the obverse fields.

Lot 131		1795 S-76b R1 Plain Edge, ONE CENT High VF25. Five points sharper with attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel toning plus wisps of darker olive brown toning at the cap. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks of note is a pair of dull but obvious rim nicks at AM in AMERICA and a light rim bruise over the E in STATES, hence the 5-point deduction. These marks have been lightly smoothed to minimize their impact but it takes a glass to see the repairs. LDS, Breen state VII. The dies are worn, the obverse fields are swollen, and the tops of MERIC are softly struck. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Miller's Mint-R.

MDS showing minor swelling in the field before the portrait. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $588

Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. The date and legends are complete and clear. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the obverse. Counterstamped "L. P. KNEER" across the center of the obverse. According to Brunk, this stamp was applied by Levi P. Kneer who was a machinist in Reading, Pennsylvania, in the 1850's.
