1811 C-1 R4. PCGS graded MS-66 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Beautiful electric blue steel with mint red covering 20% of the obverse, 10% of the reverse. Virtually flawless with stunning eye appeal, a highlight of this superb collection. The only identifying marks are a barely visible hairline from star 2 to the field right of star 6 and a speck of darker toning midway between the F in OF and adjacent A. The fields are smooth and reflective with moderately deep mirrors on the obverse and shallow mirrors on the reverse, where those fields are covered with very fine nearly vertical die polishing lines that restrict the reflectivity. Identical die state to the Norweb proof (or specimen strike), but this example has better color and far fewer defects than the Norweb piece (Bowers & Merena 10/12/1987:67). However, the Norweb example had a slightly sharper strike on the upper stars and lower part of the wreath. The status of this piece as a proof, presentation, or specimen strike is subject to debate, but the fantastic eye appeal is not at issue. Our grade is MS65 Prooflike. Plated on page 77 in the second edition of the Cohen book and on the color plate at the back of the Breen encyclopedia where he showcases the "WOW" half cents, one for each year. This coin finished first for the die variety in the competitive Half Cent Happenings held at the Early American Coppers (EAC) annual conventions in 1998 and 2011. Weight 85.0 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest graded for the variety. (PCGS # 35240) .

1811 C-1 R4. PCGS graded AU-58+ Brown. CAC Approved. 4-Star Break. Glossy medium brown and light olive with bluish steel toning in the protected areas and lighter golden brown toning on the obverse highpoints due to a very light cleaning. Smooth and quite attractive but there is a faint horizontal planchet lamination on the neck over the curl and a longer line of very tiny planchet flakes from TE in STATES to the F in HALF, both as struck. The only contact marks of any consequence are three small dents on the cheek and another tucked into the base of the chin. LDS, Manley state 5.0, with a large cud break involving the first 4 stars. The opposing legend at TED-S is very poorly struck because the cud break claimed most of the planchet metal, as usual for examples in this impressive die state. This is the Gilbert plate coin for the 4-Star Break (top of Plate IV). Our grade is AU50 net EF45. One of the finest known with the 4-star cud break. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest graded in BN for the variety. (PCGS # 35239) .

MDS, Manley state 2.0, showing moderately strong die clashmarks on the obverse. A sharp, lustrous example with excellent eye appeal, the only true mint state example known of the variety.

1811 Mickley Restrike Rarity-7. PCGS graded MS-66 Red & Brown. Frosty original red mellowing to light steel brown with bluish steel toning at stars 8-13, about 50% of the red remaining. The only mark is a small speck of carbon at the dentils below the left edge of star 13. These "unofficial restrikes" are listed on page 94 in the "Redbook." They were produced outside the mint sometime before 1859 by (or for) Joseph J. Mickley. He used old dies that had been sold by the mint for scrap metal decades after their initial use. The obverse die is from the 1811 Cohen-2 variety and the reverse is from the 1802 C-2 marriage. Both dies were heavily rusted at this point but were cleaned up and used to strike about a dozen examples to satisfy collector demand (similar to what was done to produce the 1804 and 1823 "restrike" large cents). The dies were later sold in the Mickley estate sale conducted in 1878, and the buyer of the dies was none other than the U.S. Mint (who obviously came to recognize their earlier error of selling dies that had not been properly defaced). Our grade is MS65 (although some, including Breen, have called them "Proof" strikes, even though the dies are far from "Proof" quality). It doesn't really matter. Certainly one of the best of about a dozen examples known, quite possibly the finest. Plated on page 124 in the second edition of the Cohen book to illustrate the restrike variety, and listed in Breen's condition census on page 317 in his reference. Weight 82.9 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest graded. (PCGS # 35245) .

The only defects are a collection of very dull vertical nicks on the cheek and a small spot of darker steel toning midway between the date and star 13. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The end of the wreath stem is weak from die lapping but it remains visible. Our grade is MS63.

1828 C-3 R1. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. CAC Approved. Mint red toning to light steel brown on the highest points, 90% of the mint color remaining. The only marks are a tiny steel spot at the dentils under the 82, specks of similar toning at ES, and another at the right base of the A in HALF. These "defects" are insignificant but can help identify this piece. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. Die polishing has removed the clashmarks from the obverse but the repunching is still clear on star 7. The obverse fields are prooflike with moderately deep mirrors and the reverse fields are slightly prooflike, although those mirrors are not as deep. Outstanding eye appeal, once thought to be a proof strike. The obverse is shown in the color plates at the back of the Breen book and both sides are plated to illustrate the variety on page 84 in the second edition of the Cohen reference. Our grade is MS65. Certainly one of the finest known. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest in RD for the variety. (PCGS # 35263) .

There are a few tiny ticks just right of star 6 and a few more microscopic contact marks in the field at the top of the obverse, none notable or at all distracting but enough to keep this piece from gem status.

1829 C-1 R8 (as a Specimen Strike) PCGS Graded SP63 Brown. Beautiful blue steel with traces of iridescent rose in protected areas. The fields are nicely reflective with moderate to deep mirrors on both sides. The only defects are a tiny planchet chip on the jawline left of the earlobe and a dull, light scratch close under star 4. Weight 85.2 grains. This is the second of four confirmed Proof strikes listed in the Breen/Hanson condition census for the variety (Breen encyclopedia, page 335). PCGS recognized the special nature of this piece, but decided to call it a "Specimen" strike rather than a proof. Either way this is an extraordinary piece that offers outstanding eye appeal.

1831 Proof Original Breen 1-A (Bronzed) R8. PCGS graded Proof 62 Brown. CAC Approved. Uniform medium reddish brown. The fields are reflective but the bronzing mattes the mirrors so they are not nearly as deep as those seen on the "normal" brilliant proofs. Choice except for a trail of tiny ticks right of star 2 to the curl on the cheek. One of only 2 bronzed proofs known to Breen, both 1831 Originals, and the other is in the Mint Cabinet housed at the Smithsonian. This is the final proof listed in the Breen/Hanson census on page 342 in the Breen reference. Walter Breen claimed that the United States Mint experimented with the new "bronzed" finish, apparently first used by Bolton & Watt's Soho Mint in Birmingham, England, when samples of the bronzing powder were sent to our mint by the Soho Mint (see page 49 in Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins 1722-1977). In addition to the two 1831 Original Bronzed Proof Half Cents, a very limited number of proof large cents were also bronzed by the mint (several of the 1829 Newcomb-6 and one of the 1834 Newcomb-7 Proof-Only strikes), apparently in a process that involved coating a normal planchet with bronzing powder before striking. Breen speculated that the U.S. Mint might have struck a few 1829 Bronzed Proof Half Cents as well, but he never saw one. So if you want a Bronzed Proof large cent, you have choices. But if you want a Bronzed Proof half cent, this lot appears to be your only option. Weight 84.3 grains. Our grade is Proof-60+. The attribution, Bronzed feature and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only Bronzed example graded. (PCGS # 1186) .

1831 Original (Business Strike) Breen 1-A R7-. PCGS graded AU-55 Brown. Lightly cleaned, now retoned a slightly glossy very dark steel and olive. The obverse displays more gloss than the reverse. There are some tiny contact marks scattered over both sides, including a tick on the tip of the chin. It can be argued that all 1831 Original Strikes are proofs since they were all made from the same pair of dies and in the exact same die orientation (head-to-foot). And some of the lightly circulated examples do show prooflike reflectivity in the fields and protected areas, which supports the "all were proofs" position. But this lightly worn example (as well as a few others) has no hint of reflectivity on either side. Breen went with the business strike option for this coin, and PCGS decided the same thing. This is the third business strike listed in the Breen/Hanson census (page 341 in the Breen encyclopedia). Our grade is EF40 sharpness net VF30. Weight 82.8 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only Business Strike graded. (PCGS # 35270) .
