Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 2088		1839. Large letters. Head of 38. NGC graded AU-55. A hint of tone near the obverse rims. This is the short lived first style with the swept back hair over Liberty's ear and a more sinuous curve on her truncation line above the date. For reasons lost, the master hub was changed and the swept back hair rearranged starting in mid 1839. Hence this is a distinct type coin issued for just parts of two short years! A tiny mark at 12:00 on the obverse is the only feature worthy of note on this high grade, appealing coin. Pop 18; 41 finer at NGC. Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.

Lot 2089		1849. Sharpness of Very Fine. Polished. Popular year, 'The Gold Rush of 1849'. Estimated Value $500 - 550. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $705
Lot 2090		1850. Small date. NGC graded AU-50. Mostly untoned with average surfaces for the grade. The Small Date variation is much scarcer than the Large Date of this year and was created when the date logotype intended for half eagles was employed on this eagle die. Date digits this small had not been seen on eagles since 1842, making this issue really stand out. Pop 15; 71 finer. (PCGS # 8604) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,250.

Lot 2092		1855-O. NGC graded EF-45. Mostly untoned. A scarce date that is represented by approximately 100 coins today according to CoinFacts. That number may be a bit low, but regardless, this is a tough issue to find nice! Only 18,000 struck. Pop 30; 63 finer at NGC. (PCGS # 8617) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.
