Lot 318		1803 S-243 R2 Stemless Wreath, Doubled Fraction Bar F15. Sharpness VF30 but the upper half of the portrait is covered with a couple dozen small nicks.

Lot 320		1803 S-259 R4 F15. Ten points sharper but there are too many small contact marks scattered over both sides for the sharpness grade. The only notable mark is a rim nick at the first A in AMERICA. The surfaces are smooth except for a trace of very fine roughness at STATES-O, but there is no verdigris. Glossy chocolate and steel with a few small splashes of darker olive brown toning on the obverse. EDS, Breen state I. This is the plate coin for that die state in the Breen encyclopedia for early US Large Cents, page 727. Estimated Value $750-UP. Ex Michael Graham-Doug Bird-Gary M. Ruttenberg (via Bob Grellman)-R. S. Brown, Jr., McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 6/1/1998:123. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,035
Lot 321		1803 S-259 R4 PCGS Genuine, XF Details, Cleaning. Glossy chocolate brown fading to darker olive brown and steel in protected areas. It does not appear to have been cleaned and retoned, but if so was minimal and the cent still offers excellent eye appeal.

Our grade is VF25+ sharpness net VF20. At the lower end of the expanded condition census for the variety. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $1,000-UP.

Lot 322		1803 S-263 R3 F12. Sharpness near VF20 but there is a patch of dark crud inside the wreath and a smaller area of fine reddish verdigris at UN. Otherwise the planchet and surfaces are smooth and attractive, and the obverse is choice. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate except for a splash of reddish brown toning on the reverse. MDS, Breen state III, with a die crack passing through the base of the date but no cud break. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $322
Lot 323		1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date With Small Fraction PCGS Graded VF35. Rather glossy chocolate and olive brown with the devices a shade or two lighter than the protected areas. There are no significant marks and the eye appeal is quite nice for the grade. The surfaces appear perfectly smooth to the unaided eye, but a strong glass reveals traces of extremely faint roughness in the fields and protected areas, strongest at F-A where there is a collection of very tiny pitmarks. There is no verdigris and the only notable sign of contact is a fine, old pinscratch in the field before the lower half of the neck. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state II. (This is the earliest die state for the variety as Breen's state I can't exist as he described it.) Called VF25 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21235. This is the plate coin for the variety in the Noyes book. Bland says VF20 and tied for CC#2 behind a slightly finer example. Our grade is Very Fine-25. Ted Naftzger's envelope notes in his handwriting that this piece is the "Earliest State" and that this example was unknown to Dr. Sheldon. The note goes on to explain how Ted obtained this cent. "2/15/75 at EAC/NY, I exchanged my 1801 NC-1, VF-35 x-WHS (Dr. Sheldon), even money; with DWL (Denis W. Loring), who had obtained this S264 from the Great Shal (Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz)." Then on the back of the envelope flap he added above the notation of a prior owner that this cent is the "Prop of the Great Shal" his own comment "formerly/TEE HEE". Ted had a nice sense of humor. This is one of three examples of the famous Large Date with Small Fraction variety tied for finest known honors, and all three of them have imperfect surfaces. Of the three, this piece appears to have the fewest imperfections. An extremely important example of this rare "Redbook" variety. PCGS population 1 with none finer. Estimated Value $75,000-UP. Ex J. J. Teaparty 12/1973-William K. Raymond 12/1973-Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz 2/1974-William K. Raymond 3/1974-J. J. Teaparty 9/1974-Denis W. Loring 11/1974-Alan J.

Traces of shallow verdigris show in protected areas on both sides. A dull pinprick near the ribbon left of star 11 is the only notable mark. MDS. Double struck.

Ex Stack's 6/27/1975:395-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414

Ex Chris McCawley-R. S. Brown, Jr., Superior 1/27/1996:382 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,760
Lot 343		1809 S-280 R2 Double Struck VG8+. Turban Head. Glossy chocolate and steel. Close to VG10, especially on the reverse. This cent was boldly double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was also centered on the reverse but rotated about 10 degrees clockwise from the first impression. As a result, the legend reads UNITED STATES OFMERICA. The second strike on the obverse was against a new blank planchet positioned 20% off center to K-7.5 creating an off-center obverse brockage on the second planchet. An impressive mint error in choice condition. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,613
Lot 344		1810/09 S-281 R1 Overdate 10 over 09 VG10. Turban Head. Glossy chocolate brown and steel. No defects, just even wear and minor contact marks consistent with the grade. MDS. The overdate is clear. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $414
Lot 345		1810 S-284 R3 ANACS graded EF45. Turban Head. Frosty dark chocolate and steel with ample mint luster remaining in the protected areas, especially on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal, but a glass reveals a few light contact marks on the cheek and a tiny scratch in the field before the lips. Nicely struck but a bit off center to K-3. E-MDS, Breen state II. Our grade is EF40 sharpness net VF35. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,415
Lot 346		1811/10 S-286 R3 Overdate 11 over 10 F12. Turban Head. Glossy steel and chocolate brown. No roughness or verdigris, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,064
Lot 347		1811 S-287 R2 Flip-Over Double Strike G6. Turban Head. Glossy chocolate brown with traces of crud and minor roughness on both sides. The obverse is slightly better than the reverse due to the way this piece was struck. It was struck at least two times and flipped over between impressions. STA from STATES is visible above the head just left of star 8. The reverse, however, shows no trace of having been struck by a die more than once. Instead the reverse is heavily bulged suggesting it was struck against a new blank planchet (perhaps more than once given the severe bulging, similar to a capped die strike) creating a reverse brockage. Another very interesting mint error from the Carvin Goodridge collection. Estimated Value $50-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $150
Lot 348		1812 S-290 R1 Small Date AU50. Turban Head.

Frosty uniform medium chocolate brown. Sharply struck MDS, Breen state III, showing strong die clashmarks inside the wreath. Great eye appeal for the grade. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,220
Lot 349		1813 S-292 R2 VG8. Turban Head. Slightly sharper but a bit dull from extremely faint granularity under a rather glossy dark olive brown and steel patina. The reverse is considerably sharper than the obverse, as usual. No marks or verdigris. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $368
Lot 350		Trio of Cents, 1811-1813. Includes 1811/0 S-286 VG7 net G4 for light corrosion, 1812 Large Date F15 net G7 for granularity, and 1813 VG8 net G4 for light corrosion. All have a readable date. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $100-UP. View details	Realized $288

Lot 353		1814 S-295 R1 Tab Double Strike G4. Turban Head. Plain 4. Glossy chocolate brown and steel. Smooth and quite nice for the grade, just worn. Double struck, boldly so on the obverse. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was 90% off center to K-8.5. The second strike on the obverse was against the obverse die, and you can see the tip of a star in addition to the dentils (or beads). The opposing area on the reverse does not show an impression from a new blank planchet, but the low grade may have eliminated that evidence. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $345
Lot 354		Quartette of Cents, 1809-1812, with Mint Errors. Turban Heads.
