1795 1C Talbot Allum & Lee Cent MS63 Brown PCGS. Breen-1035. Glossy-brown toning dominates this coin's outward appearance, but traces of vibrant, orange-red luster still cling to the protected areas around many of the reverse devices. Slight buckling is noted on the planchet. Exceptionally well detailed overall. Listed on page 56 of the 2003 Guide Book.

1791 1C Washington Small Eagle Cent XF45 PCGS. Baker-16, R.3. The Small Eagle cent is one of the few Washington pieces that actually shows a denomination. Designed in England by John Gregory Hancock, these pieces were proposed as federal contract coinage. Upon seeing an example, Washington rejected the coin as "monarchial." However, many pieces were given out to Cabinet officials, senators, and representatives. Eventually, many of the 1500 pieces struck circulated as coinage. This is a minimally worn example with deep chocolate-brown color and only a few scattered blemishes from commerce. Listed on page 59 of the 2003 Guide Book.

Auction 330 | Lot 5529 » Small Cents » Indian Cents

1877 1C PR66 Red PCGS. Because the business strike 1877 is the undisputed key to the Indian cent series, the proof version from that year represents a tempting alternative for high grade date collectors. The present lot offers a well preserved and sharp looking Gem whose surfaces are devoid of noteworthy handling marks. The color is a little more vibrant on the reverse, with a mini-rainbow of iridescent color variations, but the obverse is also attractive with a warm red-green tint. There are a few small carbon flecks on the obverse. The fields are well mirrored and the design elements show pinpoint definition throughout. This is an important and highly desirable specimen, of the highest quality both technically and visually. Population: 11 in 66, 2 finer (4/03). (PCGS# 2320)

1964 5C Error Nickel--Broadstruck, Scratched--ANACS. Unc Details, Net AU50. A well centered broadstrike with spectacularly distorted peripheral legends. The centers are softly struck, which is characteristic of the mint error as the absent collar could not induce metal into the recesses of the dies. Jefferson's coat has a pair of relatively deep pinscratches inflicted by a curious but not astute individual.

Auction 330 | Lot 6403 » Dimes » Seated Dimes

1874-CC 10C Arrows XF45 ANACS. The apple-green peripheries cede to rich dove-gray centers. A pleasingly detailed example, as only the left upright of the N in ONE is rendered indistinct due to the strike. All other design features are strong for the grade, especially the grains in the cereal wreath. Intense scrutiny reveals a nearly insignificant vertical abrasion above the E in DIME, which is mentioned primarily for pedigree purposes as it does not affect the eye appeal. One of only two CC-mint Arrows Dime issues, the 1874-CC may be the rarest business strike Seated Dime issue, if the unique 1873-CC No Arrows and the 1890-S Small S are regarded as varieties. Just 10,817 pieces were struck, which is the lowest Carson City mintage in the series. (PCGS# 4669)

1971-D 50C Error Half Dollar--Struck on 40% Silver Planchet--AU55 PCGS. Kennedy Half Dollars were 40% silver between 1965 and 1970, including the 1970-D which was struck only for mint sets. An unstruck planchet from that production was somehow mixed in with the usual copper-nickel clad planchets during the subsequent year. The peripheries of this example are softly struck, as are the centers of the devices, and there are a few faint handling marks from brief circulation. Lightly toned and with ample remaining luster.

1921 $1 Matte PR62 ANACS. The 1921 Satin Finish proof strikings have only been known since 1975, when one surfaced at the ANA that year. Since that time the diagnostics have been widely disseminated and the "look" of these coins is usually distinctive enough to tip off most astute buyers. As one would expect, the finish of the coin is satiny and bright, apparent even through the steel-gray and golden toning that covers each side. There are numerous raised polishing lines in the left obverse fields--one of the diagnostics for Satin Finish proofs. Also, the triangular pellet after TRVST is unusually bold, as are the rays on the reverse. There are also several raised die marks in the field behind S and OF on the reverse. The striking quality is extraordinarily bold with complete definition on all the design elements. This is one of perhaps 10-12 legitimate Satin Finish proof 1921 Peace dollars that are known today and recognizable as such. (PCGS# 7382)
