View details and enlarged photos	Realized $529
Lot 293		1800 S-207 R3 NGC graded XF Details, Environmental Damage. Slightly glossy dark reddish steel and olive brown.

Lot 295		1800 S-211 R3 AG3. Flipover Double Strike. The obverse details are slightly better than AG3 showing a strong date and complete LIBERTY, but the reverse is weaker. Maybe a third of the reverse devices remain visible. The obverse is glossy chocolate brown but the reverse was lightly cleaned and has retoned a mottled mix of light olive, steel brown, and chocolate. LDS with a die crack through the base of the first 0 in the date. Double struck. The first strike was slightly off center to K-12. The planchet was then flipped over and struck a second time, this one properly centered on the planchet. The best evidence of the first strike is TED from UNITED on the bust tip, the D strong but the other 2 letters weak. There is no evidence of two strikes on the reverse, so it is possible that side was struck against a blank planchet during one of the strikes. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Larry Briggs-Michael Arconti, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 7/27/2003:45 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $604

Lot 299		1801 S-213 R2 Double Struck VG7. Glossy steel brown with darker chocolate brown toning in the fields and protected areas. No roughness or notable marks. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was against the reverse die positioned about 75% off center to K-4.5 leaving a bold impression where MERICA used to be. The opposing area on the obverse was struck against a new blank planchet creating an off-center obverse brockage impression on that planchet. Another impressive mint error that does not require a glass to enjoy. Estimated Value $150-UP. Ex Paramount International Coin Corp. 11/4/1976:56-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included).

Lot 302		1801 S-219 R2 3-Error Reverse VG8. Sharpness VF30 but there is a strong dent in the hair at the shoulder that caused an obvious bend in the planchet.

Lot 310		1802 S-225 R3 F12+. Sharpness VF20, maybe a little better, but there is a planchet void left of the L in LIBERTY. The void was in the planchet before it was struck (the opposing area at UNI is very weak due to the lack of planchet metal), but it certainly catches your eye.
