Lot 515		1818 N-1 R2 VF35. Slightly sharper but there are traces of very faded red in protected areas thanks to an old cleaning. Attractive glossy light olive and steel with satiny mint frost in protected areas. The only notable mark is a thin diagonal nick under the ear. LDS with a series of tiny rim cud breaks from star 2 to star 4.5. Estimate Value $200 - UP Ex Heritage 4/24/2005:23066 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $294
Lot 516		1818 N-4 R4+ PCGS graded F15. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with slightly lighter toning on the devices. The surfaces are smooth, void of any corrosion or verdigris. Minor contact marks consistent with the grade are scattered over both sides, none significant or distracting. A shallow planchet flake on the tip of the bust and a small pinprick under the right foot of the N in CENT can help identify this cent. LDS with a strong horizontal die crack from the dentils through star 3 into the field towards the upper lip. The O in ONE is weakly struck, which is typical for the late die state of this tough variety, but everything else is strong. A nice mid-grade example of this very scarce die variety, the toughest of the year. Our grade is F12. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.

Lot 517		1818 N-7 R1 MS60+. Thin Date with "Twisted" Stars and Dentils. Very attractive lustrous dark bluish steel brown with lighter brown toning on the reverse and traces of mint red remaining on both sides. Sharply struck EDS with smooth, reflective fields, especially on the obverse. The obverse was struck with the normal N-7 die but the die apparently twisted upon impact (perhaps it was loose in the press) causing the date and stars to become distorted. The date digits are very thin and the points of the stars are bent, especially the outer points which are bent in a counterclockwise direction. The twisting also affected the dentils leaving them thinner than normal. This is an odd-looking cent, most likely one of the first few struck before the die was properly seated. One of only 5 known with the thin date (all in the earliest die state like this one), and the other 4 are in low grade. And it comes with a fabulous provenance for a Middle Date Cent. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau & Co., 5/16/1945:518-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/1984:106-Lee J.

Lot 518		1818 N-8 R3 PCGS graded AU55. Frosty medium chocolate brown mottled with lighter brown and tan tones. Lustrous golden tan faded down from mint color shows in protected areas on the reverse. The only notable defect is a fine vertical planchet lamination that meanders from left of the O in ONE down through the C in CENT (as struck). MDS with small but clearly visible rim cud breaks at stars 5, 7 & 8. The tiny center dot on the reverse is still visible. Our grade is EF45+.

Lot 520		1820/19 N-2 R2 Overdate Small 20 over 19 VF35. Very attractive frosty medium brown and light chocolate. Satiny flowline luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal for the grade. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a fine hairline scratch from the E in LIBERTY to the top of the hair bun and a couple tiny ticks just right of the date. MDS. The overdate feature is clearly visible on both digits. A very nice mid-grade example of this "Redbook" variety. Estimate Value $300 - UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $411
Lot 521		1820 N-9 R3 Large Date with Repunched 0 VF30. Glossy medium chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. A choice cent, just lightly worn. A tiny tick left of the bottom of the O in ONE can help identify this piece. E-MDS. There are microscopic radial die flowlines in the fields and the repunching at the bottom left of the 0 in the date is clear. Estimate Value $200 - UP Ex Dr. Philip W. Ralls-Rodney C. Burress 6/25/2002. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $353
Lot 522		1820 N-11 R2 Large Date VF35. Glossy olive and steel brown. Smooth and attractive, just a few tiny contact marks from choice.

Lot 523		1821 N-1 R6+ (as a proof) PCGS graded Proof-60 Brown. Light olive and steel brown fading to light chocolate. Traces of faded mint color remain visible on the obverse while about 15% of the reverse retains mellowed mint red. There are a few light handling marks on both sides, most notably some nicks on the cheek and in the field under the chin. The fields are smooth and reflective but the mirrors are not deep which is typical of these early proof strikes. There is obvious doubling on stars 7-13 and fine doubling on most of the letters outside the wreath (also a feature of our early proofs). Noyes photo #31966. Our grade is Proof-58. A very rare early proof large cent, and it comes with a provenance that has been traced back more than a century. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. About 12 to 15 examples to have survived according to PCGS Pop Report. Pop 1; 2 finer, 1 in 64, 1 in 65. Estimate Value $20,000 - UP Ex Peter Mougey, Esq., Thomas L.
