Auction 390 | Lot 19669 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-1, R.5--Corroded--NCS. XF Details. Fine 15 EAC. Most easily attributed by the crooked layout of the letters in LIBERTY on the coronet, the inner point of star 6 over the point of the coronet, and the placement of dentils immediately above the I's on the reverse. This is an earlier die state as evidenced by the lack of rim crumbling over stars 9-10 and no heavy rim break over NITE. Listed in Noyes' Condition Census as fifth finest known. The surfaces show fine granularity and are medium to dark brown on each side.

Auction 390 | Lot 19671 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-1, R.4. AU58 NGC. VF35 EAC. This obverse die was used for the first three Newcomb numbers cataloged for 1816, including the Randall Hoard N-2 variety and the scarce N-3 die marriage. Die state data places this variety as the first of these three to be struck, followed by N-3 and finally N-2. An intermediate die state with the obverse rim beginning to crumble over stars 9 and 10. In his Condition Census, Bill Noyes places this example in the sixth spot. This appearance is only the seventh time in the past 25 years that one of the six finest examples has appeared for sale at auction. The Reiver Collection specimen has pleasing golden-brown color, blended with lighter tan and mahogany shades. The surfaces have minor marks as expected for the grade. Among these are a few tiny nicks in the left obverse field.

Auction 390 | Lot 19672 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-2, R.1. MS62 Brown NGC. AU55 EAC. Struck from an advanced state of the N-1 obverse with rim crumbling from stars 8-11. The reverse is distinctive with a heavily recut left base of the N in ONE and the I of UNITED lower than N. Die cracks are also seen through the tops of ST and OF to the rim above A. Sharply struck in the center of the obverse with occasional softness elsewhere. Deep brown patina with glossy underlying mint luster. The reverse is rotated, as usual. A common Randall Hoard variety.

Auction 390 | Lot 19673 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-2, R.1. MS62 Brown NGC. XF45 EAC. The Reiver Collection sale includes three examples of this variety. This piece shows a number of small to medium-sized abrasions on the obverse. The surfaces are dark and mottled, as often found on this variety. Apparently struck from misaligned dies as the left portion of each side is significantly weaker than the right portion. Envelope Included. (PCGS# 1591)

Auction 390 | Lot 19674 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-2, R.1. MS64 Brown NGC. AU55 EAC. A common Randall Hoard variety that is distinguished by the badly formed letters in LIBERTY, rim crumbling over stars 8-10, and heavy recutting on the base of the N in ONE. Well, but not fully struck, the surfaces have an even olive-brown coloration and lack the spottiness often seen on N-2's.

Auction 390 | Lot 19675 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-3, R.4. AU55 NGC. VF35 EAC. A third and final use of Obverse 1, the reverse is most easily attributed by the double denticle over the E in UNITED. Not a Randall Hoard variety and seldom seen in higher grades. This piece is a bit weakly struck and each side shows medium brown patina on the left half with deep, almost charcoal coloration on the right half.

This example of an early die state is the one usually seen with a mushy dot below the first 1 in the date and Liberty's mouth closed. Only the slightest evidence of corrosion can be seen on the reverse. The striking details are a bit weak and there are only the lightest abrasions present. Deep brown patina.

Auction 390 | Lot 19678 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-4, Low R.3. AU58 NGC. VF35 EAC. This late die state not only shows the open-mouthed appearance of Liberty and the lack of a die dot below the first 1 in the date, but there are also signs of light die clashing on the reverse. As stated on Jules' envelope for this lot: "Dies Lightly Clashed lines S OF AM." Deep olive-brown patina covers each side, and the dies appear to have been slightly out of alignment with lighter definition on the right sides of both obverse and reverse.

Auction 390 | Lot 19680 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-5, Low R.3. AU55 NGC. VF30 EAC. Most easily attributed by the reverse that shows the leaf tip under the upright of the D, and the bases of AM touching. Light friction is seen over the highpoints, and the only mark worthy of mention is an angling abrasion above the O in ONE. The medium brown surfaces are accented by deep brown around the devices.

Auction 390 | Lot 19681 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-6, R.2--Environmental Damage--NCS. XF Details. VF20 EAC. Early Die State. Double profile. Most easily attributed by the extra line above ERTY on the coronet, and the triple denticles at 6 o'clock on the reverse. Slight environmental damage is noted, but what does need to be pointed out on this coin is pin-scratching that outlines most of the figure of Liberty and a shallow scratch through the lower portion of the denomination. Medium brown overall.

1816 1C N-6, R.2. XF45 NGC. VF30 EAC. The base of the T in LIBERTY is strong on this early die state. A medium grade example of this popular variety from 1816. The surfaces are slightly mottled on the obverse, and the reverse is medium brown with darker accents around the devices. A pleasing example for the grade.

Auction 390 | Lot 19683 » Large Cents

1816 1C N-6, R.2. AU53 NGC. XF40 EAC. This intermediate die state shows weakening on the base of the T of LIBERTY but there is very little evidence of the die rust that becomes apparent in the late die state. The diagnostic three fused dentils on the lower reverse show a tiny rim ding in that same area. Overall the surfaces are remarkably clean and glossy with deep chocolate-brown color over each side. A rich and attractive coin that will certainly please a variety collector.

1816 1C N-6, R.2. AU58 NGC. XF45 EAC. N-6, R.2. This late die state shows weakening on the base of the T in LIBERTY and plentiful evidence of die rust, especially on the obverse. This is a high grade example with much glossiness in evidence on each side. Surprisingly well struck for the lateness of the die state, the surfaces show even, dark color on the obverse and somewhat mottled medium-dark coloration on the reverse.

The three long, crooked denticles below and to the left of the 8 in the date are unmistakable, and the reverse shows a die chip above the E in CENT--also diagnostic. This earlier die state (not the earliest) shows a fine, short die crack above NITED ST, but more significantly no rim break on the obverse.

1816 1C N-9, Low R.3. AU50 NGC. XF40 EAC. While repunching is seen on stars 7-12, the more obvious identifier for this variety is the double denticle over the E in UNITED.

Well struck, the surfaces are deep brown overall with slightly lighter accents over the highpoints. Very lightly abraded with the only mentionable mark being a shallow staple scratch from Liberty's hair toward star 12.
