Lot 33		1800 C-1 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Lustrous mix of tan, bluish steel, and light chocolate brown with a few subtle puffs of darker olive brown toning on the reverse. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and the eye appeal is excellent.

Lot 37		1802/0 C-1 R6 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1800 PCGS AG Details, Damaged. Struck over a Spoiled Large Cent. Sharpness VG7 in some areas and only AG3 in others, but this piece has some obvious marks. The most serious of these marks is a small, crude puncture near the dentils off the lower end of the hair ribbon. There are three smaller digs in the center of the obverse plus another in the field off the chin. Daylight does not show through the puncture, but it certainly catches your eye. The small digs on the obverse were strong enough to cause two tiny bumps at the opposing areas on the reverse. The marks are obvious and certainly affect the eye appeal, but there are some positive aspects to this piece as well. The surfaces are smooth, free of any hint of corrosion or verdigris. The date is clear (including the overdate), as is everything else except for the bust tip and ES-OF-AMER, which are weak or missing (the strike is always weaker in those areas on this variety). The reverse details clearly identify this as the "Reverse of 1800" style. Slightly glossy chocolate and dark steel brown. Struck over a cut-down spoiled large cent with "ON" or "OF" showing below the 18 in the date. The "O" is clear but only the left top of the next letter is visible, and it could be an "N" or "F" ("N" is my choice). EDS, Manley state 1.0. Far from perfect, but the relatively strong details are a big plus for this extremely rare and popular variety. Weight 77.1 grains. Our grade is net AG3. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Only 3 graded for the variety at PCGS. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP Ex William K. Raymond-Ralph Pfau-Jon Hanson-Roger S. Cohen, Jr. FPL 10/17/1972-R. Tettenhorst (The "Davy" Collection), McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/19/2010:112-The Green Tree Collection.

Otherwise this piece is choice and the eye appeal remains excellent. Nicely struck E-MDS Manley state 2.0, with a couple radial die lines between the I & B in LIBERTY. The date is bold and the overdate feature is obvious. The legends are strong. Struck with the reverse rotated 15 degrees CCW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Our grade is F15.

The surfaces are smooth and show only minor contact marks consistent with the grade, but there is an obvious planchet lamination affecting ES-OF-AME (as struck). A portion of the lamination at ES-OF has peeled away (delaminated) but the affected letters remain readable. Otherwise the date and legends are strong and the overdate is obvious. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0, and the reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. Our grade is VG8+. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.

Lot 41		1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 PCGS graded F15. Medium steel and chocolate brown. No corrosion or verdigris, only light contact marks scattered over both sides. The notable marks are a dull "boomerang-shaped" scratch in the field left of the hair ribbon, a nearly horizontal nick in the field before the neck, and a dull nick on the 0 in the date. MDS, Manley state 3.0, with die rust scattered over both sides (tiny lumps on the coin). The curl left of the date is open thanks to die lapping. Struck with the reverse properly aligned head-to-foot. A decent example of this popular overdate variety in spite of the minor marks, and it is superior to the plate coin for the 3.0 die state in the Manley reference on the half cent series. Our grade is net VG10+. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 8 finer for the variety.

No corrosion, but traces of fine dirt are visible around the date and LIBERTY. There are myriad faint hairline scratches on the portrait and in the field left of the hair ribbon, but you need a glass to see them.

Lot 47		1803 C-1 R1 PCGS graded AU50. Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate with frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. No roughness or verdigris, and the only notable marks are a dull nick on the left side of the 0 in the date and another under the E in CENT. Neither mark is visible without the aid of a glass. LDS, Manley state 3.0 late. All the die cracks described by Manley are clear and the aura around the portrait of Ms Liberty is obvious. Struck with the reverse rotated 15 degrees clockwise.

Lot 48		1803 C-2 R4 VG7+. Slightly sharper but there are some very fine vertical hairline scratches on the portrait, another scratch from the shoulder to the bust, and some more in the field before the mouth. The eye appeal is nice for the grade in spite of the minor marks.

Lot 49		1803 C-2 R4 PCGS graded VF30. Glossy dark chocolate brown delicately mottled with small splashes of slightly lighter steel brown toning on the obverse. The surfaces are perfectly smooth except for traces of microscopic roughness in the field before the neck. A thin nick or pre-striking planchet chip in the center of the bust and a very thin nick on the nose are the only contact marks. A shallow depression, possibly caused by debris or grease on the die, covers much of the field behind the portrait. However, the planchet weight is only 77.4 grains, which is significantly lighter than the standard of 84.0 grains, so there is a possibility the planchet was thin in that area. Since the reverse is fully struck in the opposing area, the debris theory seems the more reasonable one. Regardless, this is a beautiful example of a tough die variety. EDS, Manley state 2.0 early, with a fine die crack through the top of ATES but before the die cracks at OF and MERIC. Our grade is VF25. Called CC#5 in the Mike Spurlock census. Noyes photo #73616.

Terminal die state, Manley state 7.0. A strong cud break connects STATE to the rim above. Estimate Value $200 - UP Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/8/2009:2256-The Green Tree Collection.

Lot 53		1803 C-3 R2 PCGS graded XF40. Glossy steel and olive brown with slightly lighter chocolate brown in protected areas. Essentially flawless except for a shallow planchet delamination (as struck) affecting the 00 in the denominator. MDS Manley state 3.0 late, with an obvious bulge at the 18, another less obvious bulge in the field under the hair ribbon, and a very faint die crack in the field close above the hair ribbon. The die lapping lines at ERTY and the die clashmarks before the neck are all sharp. Struck with the reverse rotated 15 degrees clockwise. A sharp, attractive piece in spite of the small planchet flaw. Our grade is VF35. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.

An important example of this scarce variety, near the lower end of the condition census. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 7 finer, 2 in 50, 1 in 53, 3 in 55, 1 in 64 for the variety. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP Ex Bowers & Merena 11/15/2007-The Green Tree Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $911
Lot 60		1804 C-1 R3 PCGS AU Details, Environmental Damage. Glossy medium chocolate and darker olive brown. Looks smooth to the unaided eye but there is some extremely fine roughness hidden in protected areas around the date and on the reverse, mostly in the field around OF-AME. Otherwise the surfaces are perfectly smooth and the eye appeal is excellent. No verdigris and the only notable contact mark is a small nick on the rim left of the hair ribbon. Sharply struck EDS, Manley state 1.0. Our grade is EF45 sharpness net VF35. At the lower end of the condition census for the variety. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $750 - UP Ex Lyn Knight Auctions 10/13/2014-The Green Tree Collection.

Lot 61		1804 C-1 R3 PCGS graded VF25. Glossy light olive and steel brown with subtle overtones of sea-green on both sides. Smooth and very attractive, a choice example. No spots or stains, and the only notable mark is a small nick on the rim over the E in STATES. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The arcing die crack at the top of the reverse is strong and the area at ES-O is clearly raised due to die failure in that area. Our grade is VF20.

Estimate Value $300 - UP Ex Chris McCawley 12/27/2007-The Green Tree Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $282
Lot 62		1804 C-2 R6- AG3. Off-Center Tab Strike. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but there is an area of roughness left of the hair ribbon. No verdigris and only minor contact marks, including several tiny pinpricks in the field above the bust. Recolored a mostly glossy chocolate brown with bluish steel overtones. The date is weak but easily readable and the legends are complete except for the I in UNITED, which is gone (the left edge of the reverse is always weakly struck on this variety). This piece appears to have been struck normally and then struck a second time way off center creating a tab on the rim left of the lower curls. It appears the die struck the obverse rim while the opposing reverse rim was pressed into a new planchet. The tab was eventually tapped down to make the piece round and more acceptable in commerce at that time. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0 late. There is a die crack through the top of IBERTY to the rim over the Y, and the area over TY is just starting to sink. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees CW, which is typical for the variety. About 25 examples are known of this very rare variety, and most of those are in low grade. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 1/2015:117-The Green Tree Collection.

Lot 63		1804 C-3 (C-5 early, Without Spike From Chin) R7- PCGS Fine Details, Damage or Tooling. Sharpness at least VG8 by our standards but there are numerous scratches on both sides. Most are very fine hairline scratches of minor importance, but there are some stronger ones on the obverse, particularly along the dentils under the date and along the rim in both directions. Glossy dark steel brown. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The smooth (unspiked) chin feature is clear. The reverse is plated on page 232 of the Breen encyclopedia to illustrate the variety (which in reality is an early die state of the C-5 variety, or, said another way, C-5 is a late state of the C-3 variety). The exact cause of the "Spike" is uncertain. Obviously something (perhaps a small screw) came between the obverse die and a planchet during a strike early in this marriage (die pairing) causing significant damage to the obverse die. Fortunately the die survived and went on to perform adequately in three more marriages before retirement (C-6, 7, and 8). Our grade is VG8+ sharpness net G6. One of only 2 examples known of the C-3/5 variety without the "Spiked Chin" when the Breen book was written, but about a dozen are known today. Most are in low grade with only a single piece grading better than F12. The attribution (as "C-5 No Spike") and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $3,000 - UP Ex William K. Raymond 9/8/1976-R. Tettenhorst-EPNNES-Missouri Cabinet, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 1/26/2014:63-The Green Tree Collection.

Lot 64		1804 C-4 R5 PCGS "Genuine" Uncirculated Details, Damage or Tooling. Mint state sharpness but there are three tiny planchet voids on the neck with darker planchet slag inside the voids, as struck. The only signs of contact are a pinprick in the field before the eyebrow, another right of the Y, and numerous dull nicks inside the wreath around HALF CENT. Beautiful lustrous light steel brown with bluish steel overtones in the protected areas. Our grade is Mint State sharpness net AU50, the deduction attributable mostly to the nicks inside the wreath. LDS, Manley state 3.0, with a fine die crack from the crosslet of the 4 through the bust tip. The reverse is rotated 10 degrees CCW. Not perfect but certainly one of the finest known of this rare variety. This was the finest example of the variety in the famous Missouri Cabinet Collection. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. Only 7 graded at PCGS for the variety, the finest at AU53. Estimate Value $25,000 - UP Ex Stack's 12/4/1997:2001-R.
