Lot 429		1825 N-8 R3 AU58. Lustrous light steel brown with a thin vertical swipe of reddish steel toning between the C & E in CENT. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is excellent.

Nicely struck LDS. A fine die crack extends from the rim above star 3 to the forehead. An attractive cent for the grade. Estimated Value $350-UP. Ex 1991 EAC Sale, 4/27/1991:176-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 431		1826 N-6 R2 VF35. Glossy olive brown and chocolate with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. Smooth and attractive, just lightly worn. M-LDS with a rim cud break from star 6.5 to star 8. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $437
Lot 432		1826/5 N-8 R2 Overdate 6 over 5 VF30. Choice glossy chocolate and steel brown. Smooth and very nice for the grade, essentially flawless. A barely visible rim nick right of the date is the only notable mark. M-LDS. The overdate feature is visible and there is doubling on the profile as well as on parts of the legend on the reverse (from die bounce). Estimated Value $400-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,265
Lot 433		1827 N-5 R2 Double Struck G6. A point or two sharper but there are traces of minor roughness on both sides plus a few light scratches on the portrait. Slightly glossy medium brown with reddish chocolate and olive brown toning in some of the protected areas. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second strike was 65% off center to K-12 on the obverse, K-6 on the reverse. The reverse was struck against the die on the second strike while the obverse was struck against a blank planchet creating an off-center brockage on the second planchet. Clear evidence of the off-center impression shows on the lower third of the reverse. Another obvious mint error. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242
Lot 434		1827 N-6 R3 Double Struck G6. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. A dig on the right side of star 5 is the only significant defect. Double struck. The first strike was an off-center obverse brockage. On the initial impression the obverse was struck with the die about 15% off center to K-5 while the reverse was struck against the obverse of a previously struck cent leaving an incuse impression of the obverse about 30% off center to K-2. The cent was then reinserted into the coining chamber and struck normally. The bust of the first strike is visible at the date and TY from LIBERTY shows under the hair bun. Ample incuse details from the brockage impression show on the lower half of the reverse, including several stars and a long arc of incuse dentils. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 435		1827 N-7 R3 EF40. Sharpness mint state but the obverse fields have been skillfully smoothed, the work nearly undetectable. There is shallow reddish crud hidden in the hair curls and traces of similar crud in the dentils at stars 10-13. I suspect the smoothing was done to remove a bit of stain from the fields. Frosty steel and chocolate brown. Sharply struck EDS. The reverse is lustrous and very attractive. Worth a close look. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $483
Lot 436		1827 N-12 R5 G5. A couple points sharper but there is a dull dig above star 10 and another at the bottom of star 12. The obverse is reasonably smooth but there are traces of light corrosion and verdigris on the reverse. Slightly glossy dark olive with slightly lighter steel toning on the devices. MDS with a fine die crack from the ear down to the rim between the 1 & 8 in the date. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $299
Lot 437		Pair of 1827 Cents. Includes N-3 R2 EDS EF45 net VF25 for expert strengthening of the portrait designs and recoloring, and N-11 R1 EDS AU50 net VF30 for microscopic granularity and recoloring. Both look better than they sound. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $150-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details	Unsold
Lot 438		Trio of Cents, 1827-1831, grading EF40. Includes 1827 N-6, 1830 N-8, and 1831 N-3. A nice group, all smooth and attractive. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $350-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details	Realized $1,150
Lot 439		1828 N-2 R2 VF35. Glossy light brown. The only marks are a small spot of dark toning or crud nestled into the dentils at star 3 and a light rim bruise over the first T in STATES. E-MDS. Estimated Value $150-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575
Lot 440		1828 N-3 R2 VF35. Sharper by nearly 10 points but there are three closely spaced rim nicks at the first S in STATES and a scratch at the tip of the wreath stem. Otherwise quite nice and the eye appeal is excellent in spite of the few marks. Glossy steel brown and light chocolate with lots of frosty tan in protected areas. MDS. Estimated Value $150-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $604
Lot 441		1828 N-4 R4 F12. Sharpness VF20 but there is a "V" scratched into the cheek left of the ear. Otherwise this cent is smooth and displays only minor contact marks. Glossy steel brown. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Abe Kosoff Estate, Bowers & Merena 11/4/1985:184-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 442		1828 N-11 R2 NGC graded MS61 Brown. Frosty light steel brown and tan with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. The only marks are a dozen or so microscopic specks of light greenish debris scattered over the reverse (careful conservation may be justified). Nicely struck EDS. The bold repunching left of the first S in STATES and left of the O in OF is clear. Our grade is AU50+. The attribution is shown on the NGC label. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,064
Lot 443		Pair of Cents, 1828 and ? that were Double Struck. The first is an 1828 N-10 (Small Date) R1 AG3. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. This cent was double struck with a rotation of 65 degrees between the impressions. Doubling is visible on the reverse, especially in the center where ONE CENT shows two times overlapping at a 65-degree angle. The obverse, however, was struck against a new blank planchet during the second strike and it displays the usual swelling that comes with being a brockage maker. The second piece is a middle date cent (perhaps an 1825 but there is no date) that is smooth but very heavily worn grading no more than Basal State-1. Glossy chocolate brown. This piece has a well-defined tab double strike at star 6. The reverse side of the tab very clearly shows TAT from STATES while the obverse side of the tab was struck against a blank planchet. Might have been used as a pocket piece. Lot of 2 coins, both obvious mint errors. Estimated Value $100-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details	Realized $138
Lot 444		1829 N-8 R1 EF40. Choice glossy chocolate and steel brown with lots of frosty luster showing in the protected areas. No defects, only trivial microscopic ticks of no consequence. Great eye appeal for the grade. LDS with rim cud breaks from star 7 to star 8 and star 9 to star 10. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,121
Lot 445		1830 N-4 R2 EF40. Glossy chocolate and steel with frosty lighter steel brown toning faded down from mint color in protected areas. There is a tiny nick on the tip of the nose and another on the chin. Excellent eye appeal for the grade, looks closer to EF45. MDS. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575
Lot 446		1830 N-4 R2 VG10. Off Center. Glossy chocolate brown and steel. Smooth, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. Struck 20% off center to K-4.5 leaving the lower part of the date off the planchet. Estimated Value $400-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $661
Lot 447		1830 N-4 R2 G4. Off Center. Sharpness VF25 or so but corroded, the roughness moderate to strong. No marks or verdigris. Rather glossy dark olive brown and steel. Struck 20% off center to K-11. The date and legends that made it onto the planchet remain easily readable. Estimated Value $300-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $253
Lot 448		Trio of Scarce Varieties, 1830-1838. Includes 1830 N-7 F15, 1835 N-13 EDS VF20, and 1838 N-11/13 LDS with cud at stars 1-2 VF35. A nice group, all attractive glossy brown and chocolate. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details	Realized $633
Lot 449		1831 N-1 R1 G5. Double Struck Off Center. Several points sharper but the planchet is slightly rough and there is some hard green verdigris around stars 1-5. Cleaned and retoned steel brown and olive with underlying faded red. Not especially attractive, but it is a really near mint error. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet, but the cent failed to eject completely from the coining chamber and was struck a second time about 85% off center. The reverse was struck against the die on the second strike leaving STAT at the bottom of the normal reverse. The opposing area on the obverse was pressed against a new blank planchet during the off-center strike, thereby blunting the dentils at stars 7 & 8 and creating an off-center obverse brockage impression on the new planchet. An obvious mint error that is easy to explain. Estimated Value $200-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242
Lot 450		1831 N-6 R1 AU55. Frosty light brown mixed with puffs of darker steel toning on both sides. No contact marks and virtually no wear at all, but the uneven toning is a distraction. Nicely struck EDS. The obverse fields are hard and slightly reflective. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575
Lot 451		1831 N-7 R1 AU55. Lustrous light brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Traces of faded mint red remain visible on both sides. The only marks are a few tiny specks of darker toning around star 2. MDS with crumbling in the notch on the right side of the R in AMERICA. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 452		1831 N-8 R3 AU55. Frosty light olive and steel. Lustrous and sharp with little if any actual wear. But there are a few nick-like planchet chips on the cheek and another on the ear lobe, and these catch your eye. MDS with a die crack through the tops of TED-ST. Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex The Charmont Sale (MBS), Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions, 8/14/1983:1184-Carvin Goodridge collection (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $949
Lot 453		1831 N-12 R1 Large Letters Reverse PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Attractive frosty medium brown with lustrous golden tan faded down from mint color in protected areas on the reverse. No defects, just a touch of friction on the highest points of the devices. E-MDS. The crack through the date and stars is clear but the radial crack from star 13 to the dentils has not formed. Our grade is AU58. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,121

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $173
Lot 461		1834 N-6 R3 Large 8, Stars, & Letters VF35. Sharper by at least 5 points but there are two dull, shallow scratches on the neck. Fortunately these scratches blend nicely into the attractive glossy dark chocolate brown toning and they do not catch your eye. Otherwise the surfaces are choice. EDS. Estimated Value $250-UP. Ex Carvin Goodridge collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 462		1834 N-6 R3 Large 8, Stars, & Letters VF35. Sharpness at least EF40 but there is a splash of very fine roughness and reddish brown verdigris at the N in CENT. Otherwise this cent is nice, void of any notable defects. Glossy medium brown speckled with darker olive and steel toning on the obverse. LDS with a triangle-shaped lump hanging down from the dentils above star 9.

Lot 464		1835 N-5 R2 Head of 1834 F12 but Plugged. Off Center with Tab. Glossy medium chocolate and steel. Problem-free except for a relatively large hole through the lower curls. The hole was plugged with decent but not great skill, and the repair is obvious on the reverse above the E in ONE. Struck 25% off center to K-7. In addition there is a tab above ON in ONE where an overlapping blank planchet was struck against the reverse of this cent. Too bad about the plugged hole because this is a really neat mint error.
