Lot 2397
Partial Set of Large Cents, 1817-1857, in Wayte Raymond Pages. Contains 24 pieces. All were cleaned long ago and have retoned to give the appearance of Red and Brown mint state cents. Great eye appeal until you use a glass and the cleaning and light wear become apparent. Includes: 1817 15-Stars, 1819 Large Date, 1833, 1836 Gobrecht Head, 1837 Plain Hair Cord, 1838, 1842 Large Date, 1845, 1846 Repunched Date, 1847, 1848, 1849, 1850, 1851, 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855 Upright 55, 1855 Knob-on-Ear, 1855 Italic 55, 1856 Upright 5, 1856 Italic 5, 1857 Small Date, and 1857 Large Date. Sharpness of these cents varies between VF30 and AU50, but their net grades would be somewhat lower due to the old cleaning. A group with potential that deserves a closer look. Lot of 24 coins housed in 3 Wayte Raymond pages.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
