1799 1C --Corroded--ANACS. Good 4 Details. S-189, B-3, R.2. The design elements are well worn but most of them are still visible, except near the peripheries. This deep red-brown example displays moderate corrosion throughout. Walter Breen said of the 1799 issue, in his Encyclopedia of U.S. Large Cents, that: "This is the most famous date of the series except for 1793 and is certainly the rarest." EAC 2.

1799 1C --Corroded--ANACS. VG10 Details. S-189, B-3, R.2. 179 of the date evenly spaced, but the 9's are closer, and the die chip between the E in ONE and the T in CENT just barely shows. When viewed with the naked eye, the medium to dark brown surfaces appear to be relatively smooth. Under magnification, light evenly distributed porosity is visible on the obverse, while the reverse is somewhat more moderately porous. This does not significantly affect the design elements which are generally clear, except for the bowknot that is partially obliterated. A couple of faint pinscratches on Liberty's cheek are mentioned for accuracy, and help to pedigree the coin. Despite the impairments, this is not a bad key-date representative that will fit well into a low to mid-grade Large cent collection. EAC 5. (PCGS# 1443)

1652 SHILNG Oak Tree Shilling--Clipped--NCS. VG Details. Noe-5, Crosby 2-D, R.2. 51.4 grains. Former examples of Noe-5 in our auctions have weighed between 69 and 74 grains. Wear is uneven because of a wave in the planchet. The date is sharp, while the upper half of the tree is worn smooth. A couple of thin marks are noted near the date. The die breaks on D AN D are well advanced for Noe-5. Listed on page 37 of the 2007 Guide Book. (PCGS# 20)

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet VF25 NGC. Noe-1, Crosby 12-I, R.2. 63.4 grains. A smooth and gently wavy dove-gray piece with pleasing detail for the designated grade. Out of round due to a mint-made clip along the right border, and edge flaws at 12 and 6 o'clock. Noe-1 survivors appear to be evenly divided into two die states: early without breaks, and late dies with reverse breaks, most notably between the 16 in the date. The present piece is from late dies.

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Large Planchet AU58 NGC. Pellets at trunk. Noe-1, Crosby 12-I, R.2. 71.5 grains. This is classic die pairing desired by most type collectors as it captures the classic look of Massachusetts silver with the large, well made and smooth planchets. These were apparently struck on the rocker press used for the Oak Tree issues, and therefore the planchets show the familiar "S" shaped bend in the flan. The coins were struck on strips of silver, then hand cut by large shears which created uneven edges. On the present coin, there is a minor void on the edge at 3 o'clock on the obverse, and the obverse is struck off center toward the bottom as nearly always encountered. Die clashing below the tree. A later die state, with the reverse die crack spanning the reverse horizontally through the center with several lumps. Gorgeous old dark to medium gray toning, with excellent surfaces that reveal few signs of handling and no significant disturbances. A faint pin scratch spans the center of the reverse from the upper left to lower right. A desirable coin that any collector will long appreciate. Listed on page 37 of the 2007 Guide Book. (PCGS# 23)

1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet--Double Struck--VF25 PCGS. Noe-29, R.3. An interesting example of this relatively common variety in the Small Planchet shilling series. This piece is double struck, as stated on the insert; undoubtedly from a second, off-centered pass through the cylindrical dies mounted in a screw press--a radical departure from the method of manufacture used on the earlier Willow Tree coinage. At least half the letters on each side are off the planchet. The surfaces are attractive and original with dark blue-gray patina in the fields and contrasting brilliantish-silver accents over the devices. A pleasing, problem-free coin. (PCGS# 24)

(1694) TOKEN London Elephant Token, Thick Planchet MS65 Brown NGC. Breen-186, Hodder 2-B. This is the common thick planchet variety with the reverse legend GOD PRESERVE LONDON and the sword in the first quadrant of the shield to the upper left. It is a sharply struck and nicely centered example with smooth olive and steel-brown surfaces that retain traces of original red color hidden among the devices on each side. Slight planchet defects are evident at the left and right obverse border, as struck. Although Elephant tokens are not particularly rare in Mint State grades, they are almost never seen in Gem quality. (PCGS# 55)
