Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 48		1856. Snow 9, "Second Restrike". PCGS graded Proof 64. Nice color, with a red and gold obverse and a brown and gold reverse. Small planchet void (as struck) in the center of the reverse. Housed in an old green-label PCGS holder. Snow calls this a Second Restrike and places the date of manufacture sometime in 1860(?!), presumably when they were struck to satisfy collector demand. This example is a Middle Die State, with the obverse showing a fine line from the I of UNITED to the rim and another thin die line running from the eagle's beak through the U to the rim. The reverse has a center dot, tying it to several other Restrike varieties (according to Snow, this die has never been found on circulation strikes). This is a great chance to finally own an 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, the date that started the immensely popular Small Cent series off with a bang (PCGS # 2037) . Estimated Value $11,000 - 13,000.

Lot 65		1872 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red. A "blazer" in full mint red with a few flyspecks scattered about. Only about 950 proofs were made. In an old green holder. The 1872 proof issue was struck in about the same quantities as the other dates in the early 1870's, but for some reason, are much scarcer than other dates in gem full red grades. Most of the encountered examples are some shade of red brown. There is strong additional date demand for this issue due to the rarity of the non-proof format issues. Estimated Value $1,800 - 190.

Lot 67		1875 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red. Rich golden toning with a hint of violet in the center. This coin is high end for the grade with frosted devices, spotless surfaces and moderate mirrors, as is typical for this issue. This is a very tough date in full red. In an old green PCGS holder. This is a year where the production of proofs was not given the quality control seen in other years. Every denomination in the proof set is hard to find in the higher grades due to this lack of quality standards. For years they were unknown in PR 65RD. A few are now known, but it is perhaps because the grading services lowered their expectations due to the quality of extent examples. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details	Realized $2,185
