Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 51		1795 C-5b R4 Thick Planchet G5. Sharpness VF20 but granular with numerous pits scattered over the obverse. No verdigris or contact marks. It appears this piece experienced very little actual wear, but the roughness weakens most of the details. Recolored light to medium brown but the pits are dark olive. Not an especially attractive example, but lots of detail for the net grade. Struck on a cut-down large cent planchet weighing 111.0 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Stack's (over the counter) 10/22/1980 (Stack's sale ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $207
Lot 52		1795 C-5b R4 Thick Planchet AG3. Clipped Planchet. Smooth and free of any notable defects, just heavily worn. Lightly cleaned and retoned a slightly glossy medium brown and light olive blending to olive brown in protected areas. The date is faint at best but LIBERTY and at least half of the reverse legends remain readable. A curved planchet clip (the curve of the clip matches that of a large cent) reaches well inside the dentils off the chin and the opposing ones at AMER. Struck on a cut-down spoiled large cent weighing 101.5 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Tom Keenan (bourse dealer), date not recorded. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 53		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole F15. Struck over a 1794 TALBOT ALLUM & LEE (TAL) Cent with NEW YORK. Sharpness VF30 but the rims were carefully rolled creating a high rim around both sides (for no logical reason at all). Otherwise this piece is very attractive, nearly flawless. The only mark is a faint vertical planchet flaw in the field before the portrait. Glossy chocolate and olive brown. The date and legends are all strong. Struck on a cut-down 1794 TAL Cent with New York. The "RK" of YORK is visible at the dentil tips well left of the date. That is the only clearly visible undertype. EDS, Manley state 1.0, without any hint of swelling right of the Y in LIBERTY, although this is the plate coin in the Manley book for his state 2.0. Weight 77.4 grains. Estimated Value $750-UP. Ex Norweb collection, Bowers & Merena 10/12/1987:21 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,070
Lot 54		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole VG10. Double Struck. Glossy chocolate brown. Smooth and attractive, only minor contact marks that include a few hairline scratches in the middle of the reverse. LDS, Manley state 2.0 with minor swelling in the field right of Y. Double struck. The first strike was 10% off center to K-9 and the second was centered on the planchet. Clear evidence of the first strike shows on the right of both sides, strongest on the reverse. Weight 72.2 grains. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Bowers & Merena 6/20/1984:3290 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $891
Lot 55		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole VG10. Struck over a 1794 TAL Cent with NEW YORK. Sharpness VF20 with numerous small rim nicks and bruises around both sides, the strongest of these well left of the date. In addition there are a few fine scratches on the obverse but the remainder of the coin displays smooth, attractive surfaces. Nice glossy chocolate and olive brown. Ample evidence of the TAL Cent undertype remains visible, including the "RK" of YORK just left of the date. MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. Just a hint of swelling shows right of the Y. Weight 88.3 grains. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex A. J. Amato collection, New England Rare Coin Auctions 7/27/1978:46 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,200
Lot 56		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole VG8. Struck over a TAL Cent. Sharpness F12 with microscopic granularity in the fields and protected areas, mostly on the reverse. No verdigris. A light rim bruise left of the bottom of the cap is the only significant contact mark. Rather glossy dark chocolate brown with lighter brown and chocolate toning on much of the obverse (possibly the result of a very light cleaning). EDS, Manley state 1.0. Undertype from the TAL Cent shows above MERI. Weight 86.2 grains. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $437
Lot 57		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole G5. Struck over a 1794 TAL Cent with TAL Cent edge letters showing. Sharpness F12 but covered with light to moderate corrosion. No marks or verdigris. Rather glossy dark olive and steel. The date and legends remain complete and readable in spite of the roughness. Struck over a 1794 TAL Cent. The half cent planchet was cut out of the TAL a bit too close to the edge. This left part of the TAL Cent edge lettering on an out-of-round half cent planchet. A 1794 TAL Cent has edge lettering that reads "PAYABLE AT THE STORE OF" followed buy a few ornamental designs. This half cent has "OF" and one of the ornaments clearly visible on the edge above LIB and the cap. While it is relatively common to find TAL undertype on half cents of this variety, it is extremely rare to find one with some of the TAL Cent edge lettering. Weight 83.0 grains. Estimated Value $250-UP. Ex a bourse dealer from Cincinnati 7/15/1988. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414
Lot 58		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole G5. Sharpness considerably better where properly struck up, but the lower part of the obverse and upper part of the reverse were very softly impressed leaving little or no details in those areas. It appears the die faces were out of proper parallel alignment, and the result is a piece with no hint of a date and TATES OF extremely faint. The surfaces are covered with very fine roughness under a rather glossy chocolate and darker olive brown patina. No verdigris. A rim nick over TA in STATES is the only significant mark. Weight 80.1 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex French's Mail Bid Sale at the MANA Show in Philadelphia 10/30/1971, lot 1084. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $219
Lot 59		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole G5. Double Struck over a TAL Cent. Glossy uniform dark chocolate and steel, possibly retoned. Smooth and attractive. Just a few minor marks, including a rim nick above the E in LIBERTY. Double struck, but the only clear evidence of the double strike is at ICA where an extra CA is located about a millimeter from the normal CA. In addition there is strong undertype from the TAL Cent near the rim before the portrait and at F-AMERICA. The date is faint but can be made out with some effort and the legends are complete, although STATES is weak. Weight 80.4 grains. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Ralph Langham (bourse dealer) 8/24/1984. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $460
Lot 60		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole G5. Struck over a 1794 TAL Cent with NEW YORK. Very slightly sharper with a dent on the 5 in the date that created a subtle bulge just right of the second S in STATES. Glossy chocolate brown with smooth surfaces. The 5 in the date was distorted by the dent but the date is still readable and the legends are clear. Struck over a TAL Cent with the N of NEW YORK clearly visible above the E in STATES. Weight 81.8 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex a coin show bourse in Rockland, Maine 9/21/1984. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 61		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole G5. Flipover Double Strike. A couple points sharper where properly struck, but both sides are covered with fine roughness. No verdigris. The notable marks are a strong rim nick opposite the chin and a thin planchet crack (as struck) off the bust tip. Boldly double struck and flipped over between the strikes. The bottom of the wreath and entire fraction are clearly visible before the chin of Ms Liberty and UNITED shows where the date should be. The only evidence of the obverse from the initial strike shows where "OF" would be located on the second reverse, and there you can see the top of the cap followed by LI just to the right where AM should be. A dramatic mint error in spite of the relatively low grade. Weight 75.1 grains. Estimated Value $250-UP. Ex The Cambridge Sale, New England Rare Coin Auctions 12/3/1976:1436 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,128
Lot 62		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole G4. Struck over a TAL Cent. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but the obverse is covered with myriad fine scratches and the reverse shows a few scratches on the right side of the wreath. No roughness or verdigris. Glossy chocolate and lighter brown. The date is weak but readable and the legends are clear. Struck over a TAL Cent, and clear undertype from the TAL Cent shows near the rim right of the chin. Weight 82.6 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Ray Senchuck 4/6/1990. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242
Lot 63		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole G4. A couple points sharper but there is a dull dent down the portrait that caused a minor bend in the planchet. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive brown. The date is readable but the 5 is weak, and the legends are clear. Weight 82.7 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Ray Senchuck 4/6/1990. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $219
Lot 64		1795 C-6a R2 Without Pole AG3. Retoned glossy dark steel and chocolate mixed with some lighter brown tones. Mostly smooth and decent for the grade.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $207
Lot 65		1795 C-6b R6 Thick Planchet VG8. A couple points sharper with extremely fine roughness in the fields and protected areas. A small, very shallow pit that contains traces of reddish verdigris is located in the field near the dentils before the nose, and this is the best identifying mark for the coin. The only contact marks are some barely visible hairline scratches under the date and in the field off the bust. Glossy reddish chocolate brown with lighter olive and chocolate toning on the devices. Looks better than it might sound. EDS, Manley state 1.0. This is the Breen plate coin for his state III and the Manley plate coin for his state 1.0. An important piece, at the lower end of the condition census for this tough sub-variety. Struck on a planchet cut from a spoiled large cent. Weight 118.4 grains. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex Stack's store stock 12/1971-Roger S. Cohen, Jr. 10/1981-Ron Guth 12/19/1981-Jack Robinson, Superior 1/29/1989:1879 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,900
Lot 66		1795 C-6b R6 Thick Planchet Fair-2. Clipped Planchet. Slightly glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces show light to moderate roughness in the fields and protected areas while the devices are relatively smooth. No verdigris or contact marks. The date is extremely faint at best and most of the legends are gone, but there is ample design remaining to positively attribute this piece as the rare 6b variety. Struck on a thick planchet cut from a spoiled large cent. Weight 104.8 grains. Estimated Value $250-UP. Ex Jack Beymer-Ron Guth (listed on his fixed proce lists #6 through #9) 6/26/1982.

Lot 70		1796 C-2 R4. PCGS graded Fine-15. Sharpness near VF20 but there are a few too many light contact marks on an otherwise smooth, choice planchet. The notable marks are a pair of very fine hairline scratches down the portrait and several small, light rim nicks or bumps on both sides, strongest at the bottom of the reverse. A good identifying mark is a dull nick resting on the left top of the O in OF. Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate fading to slightly darker chocolate and olive brown in protected areas. The date and legends are complete and strong. A very nice example of the key date in the half cent series. Our grade is consistent with the slab grade. Weight 84.7 grains. The Cohen-2 With Pole designation and Carvin Goodridge provenance are noted on the PCGS label. (PCGS #35098). Estimated Value $25,000-UP. Ex Stanley R.

Great eye appeal for the grade. Glossy chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning in protected areas on the reverse. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 2.0.

Lot 74		1797 C-1 R2 1 above 1 variety G4. Struck over a 1794 TAL Cent with NEW YORK. Glossy chocolate brown with choice, smooth surfaces. Undertype from the TAL Cent is clearly visible on the lower part of the reverse, and YORK shows where the fraction would be. LDS, Manley state 5.0. The severe die failure associated with the late state caused severe weakness on much of the reverse, but the date and 1 above 1 feature are clear. Weight 86.4 grains. Estimated Value $450-UP. Ex Stack's (over the counter) 10/22/1980 (Stack's sale ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $437
Lot 75		1797 C-1 R2 1 above 1 variety Fair-2. Double Struck. Very slightly sharper with scattered pits on both sides.

Ex Kagin's GENA Auction 9/25/1981:169. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,064
Lot 79		1797 C-2 R3 VG8. Slightly Off Center with Clipped Planchet. Sharpness VF20 but dark and lightly corroded under a rather glossy very dark olive and steel patina. The roughness is strongest at the bottom of the reverse, but the date and legends remain clear. There are a few specks of shallow verdigris on both sides, but they are not a distraction. A curved, beveled planchet clip affects the dentils left of the cap and the opposing ones at TED-S, and the strike was 5% off center to K-2. Weight 89.0 grains. Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Stack's 2/1972:194-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/1992:82 (lot ticket and Cohen collection envelope included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633

The obverse is considerably sharper than the reverse. No verdigris or notable marks. Slightly glossy bluish steel and olive, most likely recolored. Double struck with an offset of 1-2 millimeters between the impressions. The doubling is obvious on the obverse but not on the reverse. Traces of the TAL Cent undertype can be found on both sides.

The "tongue" break from the chin is clear and the dull crack or wave from the tongue to the dentils is clear. This is the Manley plate coin for his state 1.0 and Breen's plate coin for his state III.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,300
Lot 84		1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge G5. Glossy chocolate brown with bluish steel overtones on the reverse. The reverse is very slightly sharper while the reverse is a bit weaker.

Rather glossy olive and chocolate brown. Microscopic roughness covers the fields and protected areas. The date is clear. EDS, Manley state 1.0. Struck over a cut-down large cent that was struck well off center, hence the label "Spoiled Large Cent." An arc of dentils from the cent is clearly visible on the reverse, and "OF" from the cent reverse shows in the center of the half cent reverse. Weight 79.0 grains. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Laurel City Coins (bourse dealer) 4/18/1970. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $391

Rather glossy olive brown with lighter chocolate brown toning covering the devices. No contact marks, but there is a thin planchet crack off the bust tip. Struck on a planchet cut from a large cent that was struck way off center. A strongly impressed arc of dentils from the large cent shows at the top of the reverse, and the opposing area at the bottom of the date is depressed suggesting there was an indent error on that side of the large cent. The date remains easily readable although the bottom of the 797 is weakened by the indent. Weight 77.4 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Wayne Hardenburg (bourse dealer) 10/12/1980. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $196
Lot 88		1797 C-3a R3 Low Head with Plain Edge AG3. A couple points sharper, especially on the obverse, but covered with fine granularity under a slightly glossy dark steel and olive patina.

Lot 90		1797 C-3b R4 Low Head with Lettered Edge AG3. The details are very slightly sharper but shallow very dark scale covers all but the highest points on both sides, which are toned a lighter shade of chocolate. The date and legends remain readable, but they are weak. The edge letters, however, are complete and bold. A popular sub-variety that seldom comes nice. Wright 79.0 grains. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Stack's over the counter 8/6/1982 (Stack's sale ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $834
Lot 91		1797 C-3b R4 Low Head with Lettered Edge Basal State-1. Many of the details are consistent with a coin grading at least VG7, but this one was banged up quite a bit leaving most of the designs flattened almost beyond recognition. The 97 of the date, most of LIBERTY, half of the portrait, and about a quarter of the reverse legend remain visible. Fortunately the edge lettering escaped the attack and those letters are complete and strong. Weight 82.2 grains. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Ray Senchuck 4/6/1990. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242
Lot 92		1800 C-1 R2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Choice lustrous steel brown and light olive with underlying mellowed mint red covering at least 20% of the planchet. A beautiful example in every respect. The only marks are a tiny planchet chip at the dentils off the bust tip and a fine scratch-like planchet line through the leaf tips under the first A in AMERICA. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. The curl left of the date is incomplete due to die polishing. Our grade is consistent with the slab grade, perhaps slightly better. The PCGS label includes the Cohen-1 die variety and Carvin Goodridge provenance. PCGS population 1; the only one graded for the variety at PCGS (#35119). Estimated Value $3,500-UP. Ex 1988 ANA Sale, Heritage 7/20/1988:29 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,625
Lot 93		1800 C-1 R2 VF35. Slightly sharper with some very faint hairline scratches and tiny rim nicks on both sides. A thin diagonal scratch from the A in HALF to the N in CENT and a tiny rim nick at I in UNITED are the notable marks. Frosty steel and olive brown blending to lighter chocolate in some of the protected areas. MDS, Manley state 3.0. The curl left of the date is still closed and there is a rim cud over LIB. Struck on a planchet that did not have the rims upset (Breen stage I) causing the rims to be wider than normal (sometimes called a broadstrike error, which this is not). Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Bowers & Merena 11/10/1987:3054. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 94		1800 C-1 R2 G5. Double Struck. The obverse is a bit better while the reverse is weaker and has traces of fine roughness on the left side. Glossy olive with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. Double struck on the obverse with a rotation of 15-20 degrees between the impressions. Obvious wide doubling shows from the top of the head to the throat. The reverse shows no trace of a second strike, which suggests it was pressed into a new blank planchet during the second strike, thereby creating a reverse brockage on the new planchet. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Bowers & Ruddy 4/23/1979:96. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 95		Pair of 1800 C-1 with Mint Errors. Includes an E-MDS with a curved planchet clip grading VG7 and an LDS example with a large planchet delamination across the reverse grading G5. Both have a clear date and legends. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $100-UP. The second is ex Jack Robinson, Superior 1/29/1989:1893 (lot ticket included). View details	Realized $265
Lot 96		1802/0 C-1 R6 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1800 Fair-2. Struck over a Spoiled Large Cent. The obverse is slightly better but the reverse is weaker. Somewhat glossy chocolate and olive brown, the devices a couple shades lighter than the protected areas. The date and LIBERTY are weak but readable. There is a small spot of greenish verdigris on the jaw and several more on the reverse. The reverse is also covered with myriad hairline scratches, all blended into the natural patina. There is not much of the reverse design remaining, but the bottom of the wreath can be made out with a bit of effort, and the ribbon surrounding the fraction is relatively narrow, which is diagnostic when compared to the reverse used for the more common 1802/0 C-2 variety. In addition, there is bold undertype from a badly off-center large cent, including a half dozen dentils and a complete "S" from STATES where AMER would have been on the half cent reverse. Not pretty, but nearly all of the known examples of this rarity are low grade with significant problems. Weight 72.4 grains. Estimated Value $2,000-UP. Ex coin show bourse in Cleveland, Ohio 7/25/1970. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,025
Lot 97		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 G6. Glossy chocolate and olive brown. Smooth, void of corrosion or verdigris. Just a few minor marks consistent with the grade including a small punch near the rim before the neck and a couple light scratches in the field under the ribbon. The date and overdate are clear and the legends are complete. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0, with die rust between the I and B in LIBERTY. The curl left of the date is complete. Estimated Value $700-UP. Ex Ray Senchuck 4/6/1990, and it comes with a collection envelope from Bill Weber indicating Bill acquired the coin from Mark Reaves in April 1968. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,035
Lot 98		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 G6. Glossy steel and chocolate. Smooth with only a few marks. These include some very faint hairlines on the portrait and a beveled edge off the bust tip (which may be from a cut-down large cent planchet). MDS, Manley state 3.0. The curl left of the date is open and there is obvious die rust (tiny lumps) around the date. Possibly struck over a cut-down spoiled large cent indicated by a depression in the field near the rim before the face. The date and overdate are bold and the legends are complete. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Ray Senchuck 4/6/1990. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 99		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 G4. Struck over Spoiled 1802 Large Cent. Sharper by at least a point but there are a dozen or so small contact marks on the top of the head into the field before the portrait. The remainder of the planchet is smooth and quite nice for the grade. Glossy chocolate brown and steel. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. Extensive die rust is visible on both sides. The date and overdate are clear and the legends are complete. Struck over an off-center 1802 large cent. Only a small piece of the struck cent made it on to the half cent planchet (at LIB and the opposing area at NIT), but the lower half of a "2" from the large cent is boldly impressed over the N in UNITED. What were the chances that a definitive piece of the large cent date would make it to the half cent planchet--and survive so clearly? Good for us. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Kagin's GENA Sale 9/28/1978:13 (lot envelope included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $621
Lot 100		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 AG3. The obverse is G4 but the reverse grades only Fair-2. Fortunately the date is strong and the overdate is obvious. Smooth and attractive for the grade, just heavily worn. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The curl left of the date is complete. Estimated Value $250-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $483
