PREFACE
While it seems only yesterday, many months have passed since our joint announcement concerning the
1952 A.N.A. Convention Auction Sale. During those thoroughly busy weeks, we have become intimately
acquainted with the innumerable details connected with a project of this size. In many instances, and par-
ticularly in regard to the Plates, we were forced to work against time. It is our sincere hope that those who
have occasion to read this catalog will consider our difficulties, and bear with us should there be an error
or so.
The Typography and Paper were both carefully selected. The Plates presented a difficult decision, and
we hope that our selection of a relatively untried process will meet with a cordial reception. While the
Photography is of an extraordinarily high quality, and the Plate work performed with equal care, we would
suggest that lots be examined wherever reproduction and description differ.
Almost all of the illustrations portraying the Ancient coins in this catalog were made with the
use of Plaster casts. Unfortunately, at the last minute, we discovered that a large number of the
casts were defective. While many of them have been hurriedly replaced with Photographic repro-
ductions, others appear poorly upon the plates. Therefore, we beseech those interested to bear in
mind that many of the Ancients are not accurately illustrated, and to place full reliance upon the
descriptions.
It was our wish, from the beginning, to offer an auction sale with a large number of popularly priced
and interesting items. Even at the risk of a slightly unbalanced sale, we have attempted to offer material in
the greatest possible demand. While trying to make our presentation as interesting as possible, we have
also tried to make this catalog informative and authoritative.
We would like to thank William C. Clark and Richard Kenney, both of the American Numismatic
Society, for their valuable cooperation and gracious assistance. Walter Breen has also been of considerable
help, and his contributions will undoubtedly add to the accuracy of the contents. This paragraph would not
be complete without a reference to the interest and advice displayed by the officers of the A.N.A. President
Joseph Moss and Advertising Manager Burton H. Saxton, of the "Numismatist," have been most helpful.
The editors of the Standard Catalog of United States Coins have furnished us with considerable data
from the forthcoming 1953 edition. Many of our valuations in the American field have been based upon
this information.
It is our sincere wish that every recipient of this catalog will find something desirable. Should it prove
otherwise, we would greatly appreciate your passing this catalog on to a friend.

Mr Clifford P Wilson of the Hudson's Bay Company, wrote to Mr. Gibbs os follows "The square token represents one white
fox skin which is the 'unit of currency in the Eastern Arctic, just as the beaver skin used to be the unit of currency ,n the
Indian countries The round tokens represent values in cents and are designed to teach the Eastern Arctic Eskimos the use of
money. These tokens, however, are not taken out of the store. They are simply used across the counter to keep tab on
purchases."

We have seen examples of B-987 struck in Silver, but never of B-986. Both varieties commemorate Wellington's Peninsula

Complete Set of Proof Bronze Indian Head Cents
1040 1864 to 1909. Complete set of Bronze Indian Head Cents, all in brilliant Proof condition, ond
including the 1908 "S" and 1909 "S" in bright red Uncirculated. Hardly a matched set, though
all of the coins ore attractively toned, each with a peculiar charm of its own. A few have begun
to tornish, ond others have acquired the slightest tendency towards dust spotting. This set has
long been the property of Wayte Raymond, who tells us that he assembled it over a period of
years from select coins as they came to him. It is far above the overage set offered, ond among
the nicest that we hove seen. Certainly, none of the pieces hove been "improved." Mounted
in three pages of a small National Coin album. A set destined to increase in value over the
years, and one that should be seen. Currently lists at over $475.00. 48 Pcs.
LINCOLN CENTS
From the Ralph J. Lathrop collection, N.Y.C.

mond album page. A very difficult set to obtain, with a total catalog value of about $340.00.

LIBERTY STANDING HALF DOLLARS
From the Ralph J. Lathrop collection, N.Y.C.
The increasing popularity of this series cannot be overemphasized. The new Standard Catalog prices can only reflect part of the
demand, as the valuations are based upon last year's records and interest.
All of the coins in this set were originally acquired years ago. A few of them are weakly struck, which is unavoidable, but all have
their share of full mint lustre. The latter is our criterion of differentiation between a "Mint" specimen and a rubbed one.
1070 1916. Almost fully struck. Brilliant Uncirculated. Light and attractive toning at borders. Only 608,000
coined. Scarce.
1071 1916 "D". About as well struck as the last. Choice and bright Unc. Slight toning at edges. Scarce.
1072 1916 "S". Somewhat weakly struck, particularly upon the reverse. Brilliant Uncirculated. Full mint lustre
with the slightest toning at edges. There is an infinitesimal nick on Liberty's left leg. About equal to the
specimen in our 35th catalogue which sold for $61.00, when the coin cataloged for oniy $4U.OO.
1073 1917 "D" on obverse. Well struck. Brilliant Uncirculated. Full mint lustre. Slightest toning which adds to
its appearance. Not a great rarity, but a beautiful and attractive coin.
1074 1917 "D" on reverse. Well struck. Brilliant Uncirculated with full, frosty mint surface. Lightly toned, par-
ticularly upon the reverse, which only adds to its highly attractive lustre. There is the slightest indication
of "Bag Handling" upon the base of the Eagle's left wing. A splendid specimen and one of the finest
examples of this rarity that we have seen. Records to $75.00 at private sale.
1075 1917 "S" on obverse. As well struck as this coin comes. Choice Uncirculated with full mint lustre. Beautiful
gold and iridescent toning. A gorgeous coin not to be confused with the "Rubbed" or quasi mint specimens
that are occasionally offered. An inferior example, described as "Slightly Rubbed," recently realized $190.00
at a reputable mail auction. This piece is as fine as any we have seen and should realize $250.00.
1076 1917 "S" on reverse. Somewhat weakly struck. Brilliant Uncirculated. Toned at edges. An acceptable and
desirable example of this extremely scarce coin.
1077 1918. Not fully struck up, particularly upon the reverse. Choice Uncirculated with considerable mint lustre.
At first glance this coin appears to be slightly rubbed, but under a strong glass the point is debatable.
Above average and rare. Should realize $30.00.
1078 1918 "D". Poorly struck on the obverse, the head rather flat. Brilliant Uncirculated. There is a beautiful,
frosty surface upon the reverse. The obverse is also highly lustrous, and both sides show traces of iridescent
toning. A choice and splendid example of this rarity, free of the usual handling and other defects. Records
to $55.00.
1079 1918 "S". Comparatively well struck. Brilliant Uncirculated. Full, frosty mint surface on the entire coin, high
spots included. Slightest traces of toning, at the edges, and of "Bag Handling." A splendid, strictly "Mint"
coin and a good example of what we mean by "Mint Lustre Criteria." Well worth $40.00, or more, on
today's market.
1080 1919. Well struck. Brilliant, perfect Uncirculated. A superb coin with full mint lustre. Only 962,000 coined,
10,000 more than of the elusive 1917 "S" on obverse. A date that is destined to go places, and in our
considered opinion, a "Sleeper." V. Rare.

1919 "D". Weakly struck, as almost all are. Brilliant Uncirculated with a complete, fr.ty mint . jrf .ce A
splendid, select specimen in the same condition as it left the dies Mr. Lathrop inform-, us that this is the
finest example that he could locate in three years of careful search. A greatly under valued mint mark with
records in excess of $100.00. Another coin with an extremely good future.
1919 "S". Weakly struck, as has been every specimen we have seen Brilliant Uncirculated. Full, complete
mint lustre ond a perfect mote for the last. A superb coin without the usual rubbing or dullness on the
high spots. We are told that $250.00 was paid for this piece, a comparatively low figure for the rarest com
in a rare series.
1920. Well struck. Brilliant Uncirculated. Iridescent toning, which is somewhat heavy upon the obverse An
attractive ond desirable coin with full mint lustre.
1920 "D". Sharply struck. Brilliant, almost perfect Uncirculated. A superb specimen with full, frosty mint
surface. Slightest signs of obverse "Bag Handling," otherwise a "Gem" of the first magnitude. The finest
example that we have seen and Mr. Lathrop's favorite coin in the series. This mint mark is currently sell-
ing at $100.00, but we would not be surprised to see this gorgeous coin realize $125 00.
1920 "S". Somewhat weakly struck, on both sides. Choice Uncirculated with considerable mint lustre. In-
finitesimal signs of contact with other coins. A rare and difficult piece to obtain with records over $75.00.
1921. Sharply struck. Brilliant, just about perfect Uncirculated. Complete frosty mint lustre on both sides.
As full and deep an impression as we have seen. There are a very few, almost invisible suggestions of
"Bag Handling." This coin was purchased as a "Gem" and is equal to the specimen in our sale of Nov.
10th, 1951, which realized $105.00 when this date only cataloged for $65.00.
1921 "D". Somewhat weakly struck. Brilliant Uncirculated with full, bright mint lustre A thrilling, slightly
toned specimen, almost completely free of the slightest defects. This coin has long been under cataloged
Only 208,000 were struck, the lowest coinage in the series. This superb example is well worth $50.00.
1921 "S". Not fully struck up upon the obverse. Bright, brilliant Uncirculated. Light and desirable toning
at borders. One or two unimportant defects, but, all in all, the cleanest example we have handled. Only
548,000 coined, and recent records in excess of $80.00.
1923 "S". Comparatively well struck. Brilliant Uncirculated. A splendid specimen with a full, complete frosty
mint surface and a minimum number of microscopic defects. Slightly toned at edges. One of the finest
examples we have seen. V. Rare.
1927 "S". Somewhat weakly struck, as usually found. Brilliant Uncirculated. A bright and choice coin with
full mint lustre. Few infinitesimal defects from contact with other coins. Quite rare and repeatedly realiz-
ing $1 7.50 or so.
1928 "S". Mostly sharp and well struck. Brilliant Uncirculated with a bright, frosty mint surface. A gorgeous
and highly desirable example of a rare coin which recently realized $19.50 at an Overton Coin Co. sale.
1929 "D". Comparatively well struck. Brilliant Uncirculated. Full mint lustre with traces of toning at borders.
Another beautiful coin, as nice as the day it left the mint.
1929 "S". Another, as well struck as they come. Brilliant Uncirculated. With full lustre and a bright, frosty
mint surface. Recent records in excess of $10.00.
COMMEMORATIVE HALF DOLLARS
All of the following coins, with the exception of the two duplicate "Rare" Boone sets, were carefully culled from four complete
Commemorative sets. This truly "Select" group was Mr. Lathrop's "First Set" and represents the finest lot that we can remembet
handling. All arc Brilliant Uncirculated.
1094 1892, 93. Columbians. The first Commemorative Half Dollars. The 1892 is somewhat toned on the obverse
and the last has a minute nick or two in the reverse field. Not rare, but difficult to obtain so choice. 2 Pcs.
1095 1915. Panama-Pacific. Struck at the San Francisco mint. Designed by Barber and Morgan, the two famous
mint engravers. 27,134 issued with an original selling price of $1.00. This coin is an absolute "Gem." Scarce
1096 1918. Illinois Centennial. Portrait of Lincoln. 100,058 issued. One of the most beautiful designs in the series.
Another "Gem." Currently, in great demand.
1097 1920. Maine Centennial. Arms of the state of Maine. 50,028 issued. Among the sharpest that we have seen.
1098 1920. Pilgrim Tercentenary. 152,112 issued. Also a "Gem." Worth in excess of catalog so.
1099 1921. Same as the last, but with the date added in the left obverse field. Only 20,053 minted and decidedly
uncommon. Another "Superb" specimen.
1100 1921. Missouri Centennial. 45,028 pieces struck, but only 15,428 distributed and the balance returned to
the mint and melted. A well distributed coin. Slightly toned ond definitely above averoge Quite rare and
in demand.

1921. Missouri. Variety with 2x4, designating Missouri as the 24th star in the flag. Only 5,000 minted. Rare
and as popular as the last. As nice as ony that we have seen.
1921. Alabama Centennial. Portraits of Bibb and Kilby, the latter governor at the time of the centennial.
This is the first instance of the use of a living person's portrait on a United States coin. 49,038 issued
The high portions well struck up and another "Gem" coin. Scarce.
1921. Alabamo. Voriety with 2x2, denoting Alabama as the 22nd state odmitted to the union. Only 6,006
minted. Traces of obverse tarnish, but far above average. Scarce.
1922. Grant Memorial. 67,411 issued. An absolute "Gem." An unusual example of this popular com
'922. Grant. The rare variety with a star incused above the name GRANT on the obverse Has the chm and
other die defects that identify the voriety. Slight obverse tarnish ond the highest portfO) ick up
boldly. Only 4,256 minted, which makes this variety one of the rarest coins m the series
1923. Monroe Doctrine Centennial. Struck at the San Francisco mint. 274,077 minted. Tra. os of obverse ton-
ing and far above averoge. A really hard coin to obtain in perfect uncirculated condition
1 9 24. Huguenot -WoHoon Tercentenary. 142,080 struck, of which 87.080 were sold and ti e reminder of
55,000 rcmelted. A beautiful specimen.
1925. Lexington-Concord Sesquicentenmal. 162,099 issued. The famous "Patriot'' Half Dollor
— 37 —
1 109 1925. Stone Mountain Memorial. Designed by Gutzon Borglum. 2,314,709 struck, a large and ambitious
issue, of which only 1,165 were remelted. Regardless of the number coined, this is an extremely difficult
coin to obtain in absolutely mint condition.
1110 1925. California Diamond Jubilee. Struck at the San Francisco mint. 86,594 minted. An uncommon coin in
"Gem" condition.
1111 1925. Fort Vancouver Centennial. Struck at the San Francisco mint, but without the mint mark "S." Over
50,000 were originally minted, but only 14,994 pieces were sold and the balance remelted. A "Gem"
example of a really scarce coin.
1112 1926. Sesquicentennial. Another ambitious operation. 1,300,528 coins were struck, but only 141,120 were
sold and the balance consigned to the melting pot. An unusually scarce coin in mint condition
1113 1926, 26 "S". Oregon Trail Memorial. It is believed that 100,000 of each were struck, but a considerable
quantity was melted, leaving 48,030 of the "P" mint coins and 86,354 of the "S" mint issue. Both with
traces of tarnish. 2 Pcs.
1114 1928 and 1933 "D". Oregon Trail as last. Only 6,028 and 5,008 issued. Both varieties were released in 1933
and the latter is the first Commemorative struck at the Denver mint. 2 Pcs.
1115 1927. Vermont Sesquicentennial. Over 40,000 were originally struck, but only 28,142 pieces were sold and
the balance remelted. The models for this coin were prepared by the late Charles Keck, a good friend of
Mr. Lathrop's. A "Gem" example.
1116 1928. Hawaiian Sesquicentennial. Portrait of Capt. Cook. 10,008 struck and sold for $2.00 each, the highest
initial sale price up to that time. It is said that 5,000 were sold or distributed in the Hawaiian islands which
would account for the rarity of this coin.
1117 1934. Maryland Tercentenary. Facing portrait of Cecil Calvert. 25,015 issued.
1118 1934. Texas Centennial. It is believed that 250,000 coins were minted, but that the greater portion was
remelted, leaving 61,350 pieces. Also, 1934. Daniel Boone Bicentennial. Only 10,007 issued. Interesting
and choice pair. 2 Pcs.
1119 1935. Connecticut Tercentenary. The Charter Oak tree. 25,018 issued. Slightly toned and really scarce.
1120 1935, 35 "D", 35 "S". Boones. 10,010; 5,005 and 5,005 issued. Considering the small number coined, both
mint marks of this issue should advance considerably in value. 3 Pcs.
1121 1935, 35 "D", 35 "S". Boones. Same as the last, but with the small date, 1934 added in the upper right
reverse field. 10,008; 2,003 and 2,004 issued. One of the rarest groups in the entire series. When first
distributed, this set sold up to $125.00. 3 Pcs.
1122 1935 "D" and 1935 "S". Small 1934 added. Only 2,003 and 2,004 struck. The "Rare" Boones, originally
purchased for $75.00 in 1936. 2 Pcs.
1123 Another pair, identical to the last. Slight tarnish, particularly on the "S" mint coin, a similar condition exist-
ing in the two preceding lots. Cost $75-00 in 1936. 2 Pcs.
1124 1935. Hudson (New York) Sesquicentennial. 10,008 issued and originally sold at $1.00. An extremely well
distributed coin which was scarce from the first date of sale. A "Superb" example.
1125 1935. Old Spanish Trail. Designed by L. W. Hoffecker, a past president of the A.N.A. Only 10,008 issued.

The Cincinnati halves were sold in sets of three, at $7.75 per set, a very high initial cost for a new type. The distribution
was mishandled and a large number fell into the hands of speculators. Within a very short period of time, sets were selling
for as much as $65.00 each. Later however, a quantity were dumped which in turn, drove the price down to as little as $15.00
per set. In time the surplus was absorbed, and in the intervening years these coins have climbed steadily in price.

striking, to lighten the weight of the planchet. This piece is equal to the Lighthouse, Bolender specimen
which is illustrated in the Bolender text and which sold for $60.00, six months ago. Uncommonly choice and
scarce. Ex H. D. Gibbs collection. Plate.
1795. B-7. Flowing hair in six curls. The lowest curl is very small and perfect, nearly forming a loop. This
variety has many times been listed as the "head of 1794," but there is no exact head of 1794. Rev. Three
leaves under each wing. This is the only variety with fourteen berries on the wreath. Abt. Very Fine. Attrac-
tively toned with faint traces of lustre. A choice and desirable coin with the slightest reverse defects. Rarity 4.
This variety was not in the sale of the celebrated Bolender collection. Originally purchased from Wayte
Raymond by H. D. Gibbs. Rare. Plate.
1795. B-9. Small bust with flowing hair. This obverse (Same as B-3 & B-l 1 ) has also been called the "Head
of 1794" because of two low and thick curls. The third curl from the top turns downward. Rev. Same as B-4,
with two leaves under each wing. Almost V. Fine. A choice and lustrous coin with magnificent iridescent
toning. There is a minute obverse edge nick, but this is one of the finest known specimens. Rarity 5. V. Rare.
Well worth $75.00. Plate.
1795. B-l 4. Draped bust. Variety with bust placed too far to left. Rev. Very small eagle. Extremely Fine. Only
the high spots, particularly upon the reverse, show signs of rubbing. The obverse shows several file or adjust-
ing marks, done at the mint in correcting planchet weight. Attractively toned, and far above average.
Originally purchased as Uncirculated.
1795. B-l 5. Draped bust, similar to preceding, but well centered. Rev. Also similar to the foregoing. The reverse
shows slight die cracks that are not mentioned by Bolender. Strictly Very Fine with traces of mint lustre.
There are one or two microscopic edge defects. Rarer than the last, due no doubt to the aforementioned die
cracks.
1796. B-l. Draped bust, as on all following. Small, wide date, the 9 and 6 closer than the other figures. Rev.
Small letters. Fine to Very Fine. A nice clean, attractive and desirable coin. The Bolender example was Very
Fine and realized $60.00.
1796. B-4. Small, wide date, similar to the last. Die dot above 1 of date. Curl on top of head perfect. Rev.
Large letters. Very Fine. A lightly toned and lustrous coin with a minute rim bruise or so, opposite C in
AMERICA, upon the reverse. Cost $40.00.
1796. B-4b. Identical obverse to the last, but curl on top of head incomplete or defective, as on B-3. Rev.
Large letters. This coin is actually, in our opinion, a specimen of the famous Bolender B-4a. However, the
piece is accompanied by a letter from Mr. Bolender to Mr. Lathrop which calls the dollar a new sub-variety,
B-4b. Very Fine. There are faint file marks on the obverse, mostly discernible on the center of the bust. Also,
we note a pin point gouge in the left obverse field. Bolender calls B-4a unique, but it is actually only rare.
There are a great many dollars which do not correspond to either B-4 or B-4a, if bifurcation is to be a
criterion. Uncommonly rare and highly interesting. $65.00 was paid for this coin.
1796. B-5. Large date. Rev. Small letters. Small die lump at right top of I in AMERICA. Abt. Fine. Weakly
struck, as sometimes found, on the lower left side of the obverse and at STA of STATES upon the reverse.
Lightly toned. An acceptable and desirable example of this scarce date.
1797. B-l. Sixteen stars, 9x7. Rev. Large letters. An intermediate state of the dies. The obverse resembles
B-lb, but the reverse is not cracked. Very Fine with a nicely toned iridescent surface. There is a minute edge
nick upon the lower part of the obverse which does not affect the appearance of this coin. We also note
an odd planchet defect, of little consequence, in the right obverse field. Well worth $50.00.
1797. B-3. Sixteen stars, 10x6. Rev. Large letters. Very Fine. Very lightly toned with traces of tarnish and of
golden lustre. The reverse edge has a small planchet defect which looks like a minor bruise. Another nice coin.
1798. B-l a. Thirteen stars. Rev. Small eagle and large letters. This coin displays the various reverse die breaks
as described by Bolender, but also has two light breaks originating above the first T of STATES and con-
tinuing to and above D of UNITED. Abt. Extremely Fine. The eagle, upon the reverse, is not struck up as
always, but the various high spots only show slight rubbing. A splendid and beautifully toned coin with the
most minute imperfections. This piece was formerly described as Uncirculated, and is from the Collins,
Reeder, Gibbs collections. A "Type" coin and in great dmand. Plate.
1798. B-2. Fifteen stars. Rev. Small eagle and small letters. The identical reverse die was used for four years;
1795 (B-14) , 1796 (B-l, 2 & 3), 1797 (B-2), and for this rare type. Very Fine. A well centered, evenly
struck and attractively toned coin. One of the nicest specimens that we have seen in years. This variety is
probably the most difficult "Type" to acquire in choice preservation with the exception of the 1797 dollar
having the same reverse. Very rare in any condition. Plate.
1798. B-4. Draped bust and thirteen stars. Rev. Large, heraldic eagle as on all following, to 1803. Knob 9^
Curl does not touch 1. Rev. Ten perfect, one faint and two "Headless" arrows. V. Fine to Ex. Fine. Sharp and
bold, the obverse particularly so. A nicely toned and lustrous coin, almost the equal of the Bolender specimen
which sold for $110.00. Rarity 6. Extremely rare, a variety lacking in the "Worlds Greatest Collection.
Ex H. D. Gibbs coll. Plate.
1798. B-8. Stars on right very close to Y and bust. Long vertical die flaw in center of left obverse field. Rev.
Four large berries on branch. An intermediate state of the dies, not mentioned by Bolender. The obverse is not
cracked, but the reverse has the first crack of B-8a. Somewhat weakly struck in the center of the reverse,
but strictly Very Fine. A well struck and lustrous coin with two infinitesimal reverse nicks. A similar piece,
in the W.G.C., realized $35.00. .
1798. B-8a (Should be B-8b.) From the same dies as the last, but thoroughly shattered. Actually a much later
state than B-8a. Very Good or better with a number of minor defects, including a pin point nick in the center
of the shield. Ex. Rare. .
1798 B- 1 1 . Medium wide date. No spur on 9. Hill shaped die cutting shows just beneath ribbon ^ow, along
two highest curls at back of head. The obverse die is not cracked as yet, but is just starting to bend or buck e
as on the cent of 1793, Crosby 7-F. Fine. Few light handling defects. Rarity 6. Extremely rare. Valued by
Bolender at $50.00.
1798. B-l 5. Wide date. Spur on 9. Rev. Same as B-l 1. V. Good to Fine. There is a light edge bruise upon the
obverse and two upon the reverse.

1798 B-24o. Medium, wide date. Rev Die break from stem down to milling, a primory character •. lie of this
variety. We should call this piece B-24b, as it was struck from o throughly shattered obverse die. There on-
several small cracks in addition to those described by Bolender. Abt Uncirculated A lustrous, ond com-
paratively bold coin, considering the condition of the dies. Undoubtedly of extreme rarity. A splendid dollar,
and should realize a good price. Plate.
1798. B-27. Close date, high 8. Rev. From same die as 8-1 I and B - 1 5 . (Leaf points to space between R and I
in AMERICA. Star distant from eagle's beak.) Fine to V. Fine. Above average, but with one or two unim-
portant reverse defects.
1798 B-31. The obverse is from the same die as B-26, 27, 28, 29 and 30. The die cracks are similar to those
on B-28 and B-30. The reverse is a new die, unknown to Haseltine. Star close to both upper and lower parts
of eagle's beak, but does not touch. Leaf points under center of I in AMERICA. This is an intermediate state
of the dies, as the reverse has some of the breaks found upon B-31 a. Fine or better for this poorly struck
piece. Both sides show a few old signs of handling. Rarity 7. Excessively rare. Valued by Bolender at $60.00.
1799/98. B-2. Last 9 of date very close to bust Stars very close together. D e flaws at left bo e of E; under RT,
and above R of LIBERTY. Rev. Die break through D, os mentioned by Bolender, plus several other light
cracks. Abt. Very Fine. Not strongly struck, but a nice example of a populor coin This variety was locking
in the W.G.C. sale, 1945.
1799/98. B-3. Obverse from the same die as the last (B-2). Rev. The famous "Fifteen Star" reverse (There
are two extra stars almost buried in the clouds.) Extremely Fine, A boldly struck ond lustrous coin with shorp
even impressions. This superb specimen is about equal to the Eorle, Schuyler, Bolender example which is
illustrated in the standard text. Rarity 5. Extremely rare and a popular "Type" coin. Plate.
The "Crack" above OF AM as described by Bolender, is actually a heavy incusation from the bust point ond start 799 is olso
visable at ES and space.
1799. B-5a. Perfect date. The closest star is the 8th star which is slightly closer to Y, than 7th star is to L
Without the pocket under throat as claimed by Bolender. Rev. U in UNITED imperfect ot upper left All six
upper stars touch clouds. We would like to mention that the short obverse die cracks from lower left corner
of E down to the hair, as described by Bolender, are incusations from the eagle's tail, ond are not constant
The reverse is cracked as described. Fine to V. Fine. There are a number of imperfections, particularly on the
edges, and the obverse milling has been slightly improved upon. Rarity 3.
1799 B-5o. (Should be B-5c.) Same as the last, but a much later state of the dies. There is o heavy crack
from border through first T of STATES to clouds; another, from A in STATES to right through AMERIC.
Extremely Fine or better. Well struck, with considerable mint lustre. A superb example and of great interest
Uncommonly rare and unpublished. Plate.
1799. B-6. (Should be B-6a.) First star smaller than the others. Rev. Right stond of A in STATES touches
cloud. We believe that this piece could be called B-6a. It is the earlier of two stoges of cracked dies in B-6.
(See lot #94 in Bolender's 183rd sale.) Strictly Fine. Rarity 5, or better. Very rare and valued by Bolender
at $40.00.
179 Q B-6. (Should be B-6b.) Same as the preceding, but a much later die state The reverse die cracks are
much heavier than upon the last. Very Fine. A lightly toned coin with traces of lustre. There are a very few
light nicks upon the obverse, but this is a choice specimen of a really rare coin. It is the first that we hove
seen. Well worth $60.00.
1799. B-7. From the same obverse die as B-5, 6, 10, 11 and 17. Rev. Point of star touches point of upper part
of eagle's beak. This coin is almost B-7a, but the die cracks are all faint and not quite as extended as on
B-7a. V. Fine. We note a few very slight signs of handling and an unimportant reverse edge bruise.
Rarity 4.
1799. B-7o. From the same dies as the last, but with decided reverse die breaks. Very Fine or better A boldly
struck and lustrous dollar. Rarity 5. Valued by Bolender at $60.00

1799. B-lOa. From the same dies as the last, but all of the die cracks as described by Bolender have not fully
developed. Actually, this is an intermediate state of the dies. Very Fine, with o slight edge bruise upon the
obverse. Rarity 3. The Bolender example was estimated at $40.00 so.
1790 B-12o. Seventh star close to L, more so than 8th is to Y. Rev. Usually described os "Without berries."
Light obverse die breaks. Abt. Uncirculated. A splendid specimen, magnificently toned. There are o few file
or adjustment marks upon the reverse, together with one or two minute edge defects. Rarity 4. This com
is almost the equal of the Bolender specimen, the obverse of which is illustrated on plate VI of his book.
It was estimated at $65.00, but sold for $72.50 in his 183rd sole. Ex H D Gibbs coll Plote.

1267 1799. B-22. (Should be B-22a.) Same obverse as B-14, but with a die crack from edge between 17; another,
through 179 and to left, crossing the first crack. Rev. A heavy horizontal die break from right side of E
to left side of M divides the coin in half. Obverse Fine; Rev. V. Fine. This coin has an infinitesimal reverse
edge nick, and is fully equal to the Schwab, Bolender specimen of B-22. Undoubtedly Ex. Rare if B-22 is
listed as Rarity 6. We have never seen a duplicate of this sub-variety.
1268 1799. B-23. Thirteen stars, 8x5. Rev. From the same die as B-16. Strictly Very Fine. A bold and beautifully
struck example of this popular 'Type" coin. Actually, this is one of the cleanest specimens we have seen.
Usually, this coin is plagued by various nicks, cuts and other defects. Cost $50.00, several years ago.
1269 1800. B-lOa. Very wide date, 8 low. Rev. A die flaw just to left of lower part of second T in STATES quickly
identifies this reverse, the same die used for B-5. This specimen is a somewhat later die stage than described
by Bolender under B-lOa. Fine to V. Fine. Nicely toned, but with a few minor imperfections, including a
slight obverse edge bruise. At least Rarity 3.
1270 1800. B- 11. Obverse identical to last with highest curl on top of head defective. Rev. AMERICAI. Abt. Very
Fine. A well centered, sharply struck and lustrous coin. There is a rather serious planchet defect upon the
edge, above I in LIBERTY, which extends to the reverse. This is the excessively rare AMERICAI variety that
took Bolender so long to find. We consider this example almost the equal of the Dreiske, Bolender specimen,
illustrated on Plate VIII in the standard text. Rarity 7. Ex. Rare. Plate.
1271 1800. B-14. So called "Dotted date," flaws inside and above first 0 in date. Rev. ME in AMERICA join. Only
12 arrows show plainly, 13th nearly hidden. Almost V. Fine. This coin has a rather peculiar surface which is
entirely too lustrous. We note a minute reverse edge bruise and one or two other unimportant defects. A
choice and highly interesting dollar. Rarity 3.
1272 1800. B-14a. Identical to the last, but with additional breaks on both sides. There is a heavy die break under
first 0 in date, and up through both 0's and bust. Fine with a slight obverse edge bruise. A nicely toned and
desirable coin.
1273 1800. B-16. Die dot just to left of highest curl on top of head. Rev. Die flaws show at top and to right of ES,
easily identifying this die, also used for B-4 and B-20. Fine. A bright and almost perfectly clean coin.
1274 1800. B-16a. From the same dies as last, but letters appear bifurcated. Very Fine. A nicely struck coin with
broad, bold borders. Evenly toned with one or two minor reverse edge bruises. Cost $25.00.
1275 1800. B-18. Last star closest and nearer bust than eighth star is to Y. Rev. Suction mark at OF, described by
Bolender as a "Spray like" die break extending from tip of eagle's right wing through F and clouds to
second and third stars. There is also a fine crack through top of AMERICA curving down to the eagle's tail.
Abt. Extremely Fine. A boldly struck and nicely toned piece, worthy of a home in the finest collection.
We might add here that we have never seen a specimen of the dollar described by Mr. Bolender under B-18a. The descrip-
tion of lot #158 in Bolender's 183rd sale (B-18a), neglects to mention the fine reverse die crack across shield and to right, a
hallmark of the variety. There is a distinct possibility that B-18a, if it actually exists, may be an entirely new and totally
different variety.
1276 1800. B-19. Right stars close to Y and bust. Rev. AMERICAI. Not quite Fine. The edges are lightly bruised
upon both sides, a common characteristic of these large, heavy coins.
1277 1801. B-la. Wide date, 01 closest. Rev. Point of star almost touching tip of lower part of eagle's beak. There
is a crack through ST to clouds. See lot #164 in the sale of the Bolender collection. Abt. Very Fine. Sharply
struck and attractively toned with two small obverse edge nicks. Rarity 4.
1278 1801. B-2. Obverse the same as last (B-l). Rev. Only twelve arrows show plainly. Strictly Fine or better, the
reverse being particularly well struck. Traces of lustre. Rarity 4. A nice example of a scarce date.
1279 1801. B-4. Close date, figures evenly spaced. "Die dot" to left of date. Rev. A "Spur" on curved part of D in
UNITED. Very Fine. A strongly struck dollar with traces of toning. Unusually choice and decidedly above
average. Rarity 5. V. Rare.
1280 1802/1. B-3. Wide overdate, most space between 8 and 0. Small die lump in upper right obverse field between
eighth and ninth stars. Reverse "B". Almost V. Fine with one or two minor handling defects.
1281 1802/1. B-4. Close date, the 1 firmly touching the curl. Reverse "A". Fine or slightly better. Rarity 5. Very rare.
1282 1802. B-6. Variety with right foot of T in LIBERTY missing. Reverse "A". Uncirculated. A superb coin, almost
as perfect as when it left the dies. The bright, frosty surface shows only traces of toning and tarnish. The bust
displays evidence of contact with other coins, being lightly nicked in one or two spots. Early dollars are
almost impossible to locate in strictly Uncirculated condition. Invariably, every specimen examined shows
friction on the high spots. Mr. Lathrop paid $100.00 for this coin, which he considered a "Gem.' Plate.
1283 1803. B-4. Close date. Small thin 3, top side long, the right end near bust. Numeral 1 firmly united with curl.
Reverse "A". Almost Fine. Few edge or rim bruises, particularly upon the reverse.
1284 1803. B-5a. Small, thin 3 which is too high. Figures of date all close. Reverse "B". Very Fine. A boldly struck
and lustrous coin. Unusually choice, and valued at $50.00. Rarity 5. V. Rare.
1285 1803. B-6a. Thick top to 3 of date. 180 wide and 3 somewhat low. Reverse "A". An ultra fine die crack
connects all stars on right. Very Fine, but somewhat mishandled. There is a light scratch in the obverse field
and several surface nicks and minor edge bruises upon both sides.
THREE EXTRAORDINARILY RARE FLYING EAGLE DOLLARS OF 1836 AND 1838
1286 1836. Liberty seated r., in plain field. C. GOBRECHT F. on base, date below. Rev. Flying eagle in plain field,
totally unlike the regular variety which has twenty-six stars surrounding the eagle. Plain edge. A.W. 44; R-12
Cleaned Proof with one or two minute defects. Only a small number of this rare variety were struck, and such
famous collections as the Dunham, Roe, Atwater, Geiss or Neil did not possess a specimen. Actually, this com
is a mule of the 1836 obverse combined with the reverse commonly used in 1838 and 1839. Of great rarity,
said to have cost over $400.00. Plate.

C. GOBRECHT is omitted entirely. The reverse is identical to the last Plain edge. A W. 64; R-14 Brill ' i t
bright Proof with slight iridescent toning. A magnificent and sharply struck example of an excessively rare
coin. According to all available information, only two or three specimens ore said to have been struck with a
plain edge. The commoner variety of this coin, with a reeded edge, now cotologs at $500.00, and readily
brings that amount when offered. Ex Zug collection Plate.
1838. Identical to the preceding, but with a reeded edge. A.W. 65; R - 1 3 . An unusuolly bold and mainly
brilliant Proof. Certainly, a most beautiful and desirable example of the so-called "Commonest" Gobrecht
dollar bearing this date. Lists at $500.00, but the Menjou exomple was said to have cost $750.00, and
realized $575.00 as lot #2081 of that sale. Not quite as rare as the lost, but still on extreme rarity
1840. The first regular issue of the basic Gobrecht design. V. Fine. Now lists ot $15.00 so. Scarce.
1841. Abt. Uncirculated. A bright, lustrous coin with only the slightest indications of contact with other coin:.
This date is decidedly uncommon and now lists at $22.50 in mint condition

but with a minute obverse edge nick.
1842. Another. Ex. Fine. Nicely toned with a slight nick in the reverse field.
1843. Strictly Ex. Fine. This coin is choice and well struck and shows the usual minor defects. Also, there are

The Rare Original 1851 Silver Dollar
1303 1851. Variety with date high, nearly touching the bust, and slanting down to the right. Upright 5
Haseltine Addenda No. 2. The date on this coin is similar to that found on the 1850 An
Original. Proof. Sharply struck with an almost complete wire edge. This piece is not fully
brilliant and shows the slightest signs of mishandling. There are two or three minor obverse rim
defects and a few microscopic abrasion marks in the right obverse field. It is far superior to the
damaged Proof in the collection of the A.N.S., formerly from the J. P. Morgan collection To our
knowledqe, in addition to the impaired Morgan specimen, only one other example in Proof is
known. This coin is now listed ond illustrated in the Standard Catalog and is tentatively valued
ot $750.00. Excessively rare Plate.
. ,. n the director of the Philadelphia mint, J. R. Snowden, repeatedly complained of the exportation of Silver
o ors as bullion (melted up), and it appears thot the issues of these two years were deliberately limited tor that
reason. Only 1,300 Silver dollars were struck in 1851, the entire issue being in Uncirculated condition for reqular busi-
ness use These were coined from the above described obverse die, together with a very few Proofs for the regular
roo sets ot that year. Records in the National Archives indicote that olmost the entire coinage was obsorbed, soon after

should realize a good price. V. Rare.

THE HOMER K. DOWNING COLLECTION OF UNITED STATES LARGE CENTS
It is with considerable pride and enthusiasm that we present the collection of U.S. Large Cents, formed by the
late Homer K. Downing of New York City. This collection is celebrated, not only for the high caliber of its contents,
but for the character and attributes of the famous numismatist who assembled it.
Homer Downing was not only a collector — he was a specialist, an expert in his field. At his death, he was known
from coast to coast as one of the foremost authorities on "Big Pennies." Several others command, and have com-
manded, a comparable knowledge of die varieties, sale records, color variations, and the innumerable other characteris-
tics of early coppers. However, few have ever acquired the intimate and highly accurate sense of pedigree that was
his. The history of past owners, of auctions and sales, of trades, swaps and deals, with the resulting "feel" for demand
and rarity, is indeed a fascinating and valuable asset. A few years ago, H.K.D. began the compilation of Photographic
record books, in which it was his intention to paste the photograph, and trace the background, of the finest known
examples of every Sheldon die variety, 1793 to 1814. This work was in its infancy, when he died. Comparatively few
cents in this collection were fully pedigreed, but we have included all of the available data with the description of
each lot. In a few instances, where time permitted, we have added additional information. We are happy to report
that the records so ably conceived and begun by Homer Downing, will be added to, and in time completed. Eventually,
it is hoped that this valuable material will be fully available to the collecting fraternity.
The collection lacks only eight varieties of the 301 collectible pieces known, as described in Dr. Sheldon's masterful
work. It includes the only complete set of 1795 cents ever offered, featuring the famous and unique "Lettered Edge
Jefferson Cent." The varieties of 1794 and 1796 are also of extreme interest, containing as they do, many well known
and valuable coins. We may also point to the Perfect date 1799, the third finest known; the remarkable array of
early year die varieties, 1797-1803; as well as the small, but unusual offering of late date cents, including several
almost unobtainable Proofs.
While the collection contains numerous "Finest knowns," it also possesses a number of pieces that were to be
replaced. It must be remembered that Mr. Downing acquired his collection in a comparatively short period of time.
He became actively interested in Large Cents in 1941, and it was not until the following year that his interest became
intensified. Even though interrupted by death, this representation compares favorably with offerings that took con-
siderably longer to form.
We have described each lot with unusual care. Almost all of the condition ratings are Mr. Downing's, and may be
considered conservative. We truly feel that collectors can bid with full confidence, based upon the descriptions, but
wherever possible, we suggest that the lots be examined. The quality of many specimens is almost impossible to de-
scribe or even illustrate. Each lot is accompanied by the small, neatly lettered tray, that is the hallmark of the
collection.
Homer Downing derived great pleasure and happiness from the acquisition, care and ownership of his "Pennies."
We feel that it would be his wish to have his many friends, and those that follow in his footsteps, experience the same
thrills and pride of possession that were his. The catalogers can only add that top quality cents are almost impossible
to obtain, and the sparseness of dealer's stocks, including our own, strongly testifies to the value of this splendid oppor-
tunity. It is our sincere wish that every collector can obtain at least one coin from this famous and popular collection.
1793
1615 Crosby 1 -A. (Sheldon 1) R-4. The famous Chain AMERI. The rare sub-variety with the reverse die cracked
through the top of TATE in STATES. Obverse VF-30; Reverse EF-40. Light brown and steel. The surface is
glossy and iridescent, as one would expect on a Mint State specimen. We note two or three insignificant
defects, but this piece is equal to the example in the Mint collection, which was purchased as Uncircu'ated
in 1882 (A. M. Smith coll.). A choice example and in great demand. Plate. ($275.00)
1616 Crosby 1 -C. (S-2) R-4. Chain, AMERICA. Obverse EF-40; Reverse, about AU-50. Lustrous dark brown. The
obverse shows traces of chain "suction marks," and there are a very few microscopic defects, mainly on
the reverse. With a condition census of 60-45, this is one of the six or seven finest known examples. A
splendid coin, somewhat rarer than the last. Plate. ($300.00'
1617 Crosby 3-C. (S-3) R-3. Chain, AMERICA. This coin is strictly EF-40, and is one of the sharpest impressions
that we have seen. The surface is a pleasing even brown, and has an almost perfect gloss that should
satisfy the most fastidious collector. There are a number of minor handling defects, and we particularly note
a slight nick on the lower part of Liberty's cheek. This cent was, at one time, described^ as AU-50 by a
prominent authority. It resembles the famous Zabriskie, Brand, Hines specimen which was "nearly MS-60,'
and sold for $325.00 in 1945. A highly desirable piece, formerly from the Hines coll. Plate. ($235.00)
1618 Crosby 4-C. (S-4) R-4. Chain, periods after date and LIBERTY. F-15. This coin would be V. Fine if it were
not for a few light edge bruises and a defect between the chain and 1C of AMERICA. Dark olive. A well
centered cent, an attractive example of a variety in great demand as a "Type." Ex Hines coll. ($125.00)
1619 Crosby 6-F. (S-5) R-3. Wreath type; Large date and LIBERTY, This is the scarcest of the R-3 s of 1793,
but is not quite R-4. VF-25, or better. Light brown. A beautiful coin with several light obverse planchet
defects and one or two tiny edqe imperfections. It looks much better to the naked eye than the description
sounds. ($165.00)
1620 Crosby 7-F. (S-6) R-3. Wreath type; Buckled obverse. VF-25. Almost the equal of the preceding and some-
what more desirable in that this is not on so defective a planchet. There are one or two infinitesimal edge
nicks and an almost invisible scratch at the date. Not quite as scarce as the last. ($150.00)
1621 Crosby 8-F. (S-7) R-7. Wreath type; the Faint Curl. VG-8. Obverse VG-10, but on a rough and defective
planchet. Reverse F-12, but with two or three unimportant edge bruises. Even brown color. One of the
highlights of this collection, this 8-F is the fifth best of the nine specimens now known, and is (as Dr.
Sheldon said) "One of the numismatic prizes." Sheldon mentions a record of $90.00 ( 1 938 ) for this
piece, but gives no pedigree. It came from the Granberg and Woodin collections, being lot #69 in the
"Collection of a Prominent American" (1915) and later was owned by C. Petersen, from whom Mr Down-
ing obtained it. Extremely Rare. ($150.00)
— 56 —
1622 Crosby 9-G. (S-8) R-3. Wreoth type; The Horizontal Stem. VF-25 Another .harp item, equal to the 6-F
and 7-F described above, but with a lustrous light olive and black surface. There are a few faint defect*,
in the upper left obverse field which are not deep enough to disturb the color. This must have been one
of the earliest 9-G's struck, as the imperfections noticed by Crosby and Sheldon are not visible, except for
weak suction marks under the chin. Reverse cracked as described. An unusually choice cent <$125,001
1623 Crosby 9-H. (S-9) R-2. Wreath type; Large round bow upon the reverse. Perfect dies. G-6. Light brown with
nice, even wear except for a single bruise upon the outer obverse edge at left. Everything readable A space
filler, as H.K.D. intended to replace this piece. ($25,001
1624 Crosby 10-1. (S-10) R-4. Wreath type; Injured Rim. Mr Downing called this beauty EF-40, which .urely
is a masterpiece of understatement. It would be more accurate to say: Obverse, EF-45, but with a few
very minute injuries outside the border beading; Reverse, MS-60 or better. The piece is well centered and
has a wide, raised border, setting off the design to advantage. The surface is a beautiful light olive, worthy
of a MS-65 coin. A superb cent, ex Brand coll. Plate. ($325.00)
1625 Crosby 1 1 -J. (S-lla) R-5. Wreath type; Lettered edge variety, but with Vine and Bars edge. VF-20. This
coin is a VF-30, but the edge, upon both sides, is marred by a number of small bruises, most of which ore
outside the border beading. Obverse steel; Reverse mottled steel, brown and red. This is probably one of
the top eight or nine, and without the edge bruises would be a $200.00 cent. Ex Hines coll. Reolly rare
($140.00)
1626 Crosby 11-J. (S-llb) R-4. Wreath type; Lettered edge, two leaves after DOLLAR. VG-10 This piece is
neither a gem nor a space filler. It is almost completely brown in color and has one or two light obverse edge
bruises, plus another minute defect or so. The coin is well centered and the suction marks for AMERICA
and the wreath are barely showing. This sub-variety is just beginning to come into its own. Ex C. Petersen
and lot #13 from the Pearl catalogue, 1944, where it was described as Fine. V. Scarce 1 $60.00)
1627 Crosby 11-J. (S-llc) R-3. Wreath type; lettered edge, single leaf after DOLLAR. VF-25. Light brown. A
sharp and attractive coin with a few minor defects, including what appears to be a planchet blemish at
N in UNITED upon the reverse. Suction marks are heavier on this than on the last. In great demand as a
"Type" coin. ($125.00)
1628 Crosby 12-K. (S-12) R-6. The third rarest Liberty Cap. G-6. The obverse is G-5 or 6 and the date is fully
legible. The reverse would grade Fine except for the bulged center (which is constant on Reverse K) and
a heavy scratch at the bow and right ribbon. This variety has a condition census of 50-6, broken down as
follows: The Fewsmith, Klein, Crosby, French, Clapp, A.N.S. AU-50 specimen; the second finest is Sheldon's,
VG-10; the remainder in Good or worse. This piece is probably the third or fourth finest known and was lot
#15 in the celebrated Newcomb sale, 1945, where it was described as V. Good. V Rare ($100.00)
1629 Crosby 12-L. (S-13) R-4. Liberty Cap; Similar to the last, the leaf under ME parallel. G-5 Strictly Good.
Everything, and in particular the date, stands out in bold relief. The surface is slightly rough and we note
a minute edge nick upon the bottom of the reverse. A clear, readable example of a variety in great demand
as a "Type." Rare. ($50.00)
1630 Crosby 13-L. ( S- 1 4 ) R-5. Liberty Cap; The Bisecting Crack. G-5. A well centered and evenly worn coin with
a slight scratch over IB of LIBERTY upon the obverse. An acceptable specimen of a very popular cent Mr
Downing graded this piece as G-6. He valued it at — ($75.00)
1631 Crosby 14-L. ( S- 1 6 ) R-7. The second rarest Liberty Cap; The Dotted I. G-6. This coin has strong claims to
V. Good and noses out the Dr. French example as fourth best of the eight now accounted for. There ore two
planchet defects upon the obverse, one at the edge and one in the right field which resembles a crack. Neither
interferes with the design. This is not one of the seven specimens mentioned by Sheldon, but is one of the
two more known to rumor" that he speaks of. An excellent example of a real rarity. ($150.00)
1794
The cents of this year were probably Homer Downing's favorites. He began to acquire and earnestly study them and to
''hunt 'em down," comparatively late in his collecting career. Only a few weeks prior to his passing, he carefully inked m the
H and D of HUNDRED upon the edges of his cherished 1794s. This was to "identify them " as he put it, and was similar to
the earlier ideas of Hays, Hall and others. The catalogers sincerely regret that their good friend did not live to see the splen-
did pieces from the Hall, Wurtzbach, Brand collections, which came to light about a year ago
1632 Hays 1. (S-20) R-5. Maris's "The Exact Head of 1793." Strictly VF-30. This is the third finest example ex-
tant, according to Dr. Sheldon. It has a light, lustrous, olive brown surface and is well struck and centered
except for weak obverse milling. There are a number of minor defects, including a few faint edge bruises
upon the obverse and a microscopic nick at the bottom of the bust. This cent is definitely superior to the
Hall, Hays, Brand piece which we sold in our 34th sale. It first appeared in the Gilbert sale, 1910, as let
#1. Later, it was lot #83 of the Granberg-Woodin "Collection of a Prominent Americon." and it went
for the ridiculously low figure of $35.00 in the Newcomb sale, 1945, lot #18. The obverse is illustrated in
the Gilbert - Elder revision of Hays, 1910. A splendid coin to own Plate. ($175.00)
1633 Hays 2. (S-19a) R-6. The Double Chin; Edge device of '93. G-4. This coin would possibly be V Good or
better^ if it were not for a rough surface, especially upon the obverse This is one of "seven or eight that
Dr. Sheldon mentioned under his No. 19a, all but two of which are in worn condition Ex Hines coll An
uncommonly rare sub-variety. ($20.00*
1634 Hays 2. (S-19b) R-4. The Double Chin; Edge device of '94. VG-10. A rather attractive example, mottled
in half-a-dozen shades of light and dark brown. The surface shows a few infinitesimal pit marks which
certQ,n| y do not mar its appearance in the slightest Almost Fine ond a nice cent Ex H.nes coll $35.00'

which have arranged themselves into a little group ot the bottom of the reverse and m one or tw spots
upon the obverse. There are one or two other minor defects, but this com would be Fine if it were evenly

Hays 3. ( S- 1 Sb ) R-4. The other Double Chin; Edge device of '94. Uncirculated, MS-60. Mottled steel blue
and brown. This coin shows the small crack on the twelfth denticle left of the 1, the swelling under TED,
and another swelling under the cap. There is a tiny edge bruise, of no particular importance, under the 9 .
This piece is one of the three or four finest known and is slightly superior to the example sold in our 34th
sale (Hall, Brand coll.), which realized $170.00. It originally appeared as lot #734 in the Zabriskie
catalog, 1909; later, it was listed as lot #655 of the H. Miller collection, 1917, and finally, as lot #19
of the Newcomb sale, 1945. Uncommonly choice and desirable. Plate. ($165.00)
Hays 4. (S-17) R-6. Head of 1793; Wide, Straight Date. F-12. This piece could easily be called a F- 1 5
coin, or better, but the edges are bruised, particularly upon the reverse. Even, medium brown. The surface
is pleasing and attractive in spite of a few handling defects. This is the identical coin mentioned by Sheldon
on page #84, and is definitely the third finest known example. It is the original Hays specimen, and
appeared as lot #4 of the Hays-Phelps sale, 1907. Later, it was in the Ebenezer Gilbert collection and was
sold as lot #4 in 1910. In 1915 it appeared in the Granberg collection as bought by W. H. Wnodin and
consigned to Wayte Raymond. (Lot #86, "The Collection of a Prominent American.") It reappeared as
lot #20 in the Newcomb sale catalogue, 1945, and was there bought by Dr. Sheldon, from whom Downing
later obtained it. This piece is illustrated in the Frossard-Hays book (1893), also in the Gilbert-Elder
(1910) edition of Hays, and in Chapman (1923, 26)) each time as No. 4. A rare cent with a fascinating
numismatic history. Worthy of a home in the finest collection. Plate. ($100.00)
Hays 5. (S-21) R-2. Maris's "Sans Milling," Sheldon's "Flat Pole" variety. Strictly VF-30. A choice and
really good looking coin with a lustrous, light brown surface. The milling shows all around the obverse, but
is weak and narrow at upper left. The reverse is somewhat roughened, but is still sharp. This is another
W. W. Hays cent and appeared as lot #5 of the Hays-Phelps sale; later, it was in the Earle collection and
a Bullowa sale of October, 1949. A Frossard-Hays plate coin (1893). Another "historical penny." ($40.00)
Hays 5. (S-21) R-2. Duplicate of last, in better condition, but without so long a pedigree. EF-40. A beautiful
and handsome cent with a lustrous light brown surface. There are two unimportant and hardly visible
obverse edge defects. The hair is hardly as sharp as upon the last, but this piece has a more pleasing and
desirable general appearance. Ex George H. Clapp. Plate. ($50.00)
Hays 6. (S-47) R-5. Maris's Young Head. The rare sub-variety from perfect dies of which Sheldon states he
has only seen four or five examples. VF-35. A coin that would be EF-40 were it not for a decided roughness
upon part of the obverse. The reverse is particularly sharp and attractive. This cent is a russet color and
is perfectly centered. It is believed to be the second finest example known and was discovered after the
publication of the Sheldon book. Uncommonly rare so choice. Plate. ($120.00)
Hays 6. (S-47) R-5. Another, but with the cracked die as described by Dr. Sheldon. VF-25. Dark brown.
Well centered and struck. An unusually handsome and attractive cent, almost the equal of the last. Far
superior to the artificially colored Dr. French specimen which has a record of $85.00. One of the finest
pieces known and from the Hines coll. ($85.00)
Hays 7. ( S-49) R-2. The second Young Head. Obverse with broken die. This medium brown beauty will rate
AU-50, and is given exactly that grading on page 1 1 4 of the standard text. There are three unimportant
defects, two of which are upon the reverse edge. This is another original Hays coin, which went in the
Hays-Phelps sale as lot #7, and later was owned by C. H. Stearns. It reappeared as lot #23 of the
Newcomb sale and realized a paltry $37.50. In 1947 it was in the A.N.A. Convention sale at Buffalo, N. Y.
and sold for $65.00. Sheldon claims that this piece was resold from the Newcomb sale for $75.00. It is illus-
trated upon the Chapman plates, and is believed to be the third finest known specimen. ($75.00)
Hays 7. (S-49) R-2. Another, but with a perfect obverse die and a double profile. Strictly VF-20. Medium
brown, mottled with darker brown. The edge is slightly bruised upon both sides. Ex Lambert coll., 1910,
lot #585, and Sargent coll., 1913, lot #409. Slightly scarcer die state than the last, but hardly as desirable.
($25.00)
Hays 8. (S-48) R-6. The celebrated Starred Reverse, possibly the most famous of all the 1794 cents. G-4.
The obverse is almost V. Good, but the reverse is badly worn, even though it still shows the stars plainly.
Black, rough surface with a small reverse cut. An acceptable specimen of a rarity of which all but three
or four are low grade. In great demand. ($37.50)
Hays 9. (S-52) R-7. Maris's Coquette. This is one of the two known specimens from a perfect obverse die.
the other being a F-12 coin in the A.N.S. collection. Strictly F-12, a very dark color. Nearly the equal of
the Hays, Gilbert specimen, on the Sheldon plate, but this piece was subjected to repairs below the date,
and is downgraded for that reason. This is the Dr. French example which later appeared in the 1947 A.N.A.
Convention sale as lot #784. It is the third finest of the seven known specimens. Record of $165.00. Ex
Rare. Plate. ($175.00)
Hays 10. (S-51) R-5. Maris's Forlorn. Perfect obverse die. AU-50. The finest example known. Light and dark
red color. A sharp and unblemished cent that misses perfection only from having weak denticles, as usual,
upon the lower right reverse. This coin is misdescribed by Dr. Sheldon who confuses it with the Hays speci-
men, which is the next lot. Ex Gilbert coll., 1910, lot #10; Granberg-Woodin, 1915, lot #92; Newcomb,
1945, lot #26. This coin was sold to H.K.D. by the catalogers. It is pictured in the Gilbert-Elder (1910)
edition of Hays, and in Chapman, both sides; the obverse is on Sheldon's Plate 8. A splendid and valuable
addition to the finest collection. Plate. ($175.00)
Hays 10. (S-51) R-5. Another, the extremely rare variety with a heavily broken obverse die. Strictly V. Fine
with claims to Ex. Fine. Unfortunately, the obverse shows a few pit marks, and this coin can only be graded
VF-30. Dark olive. A handsome cent with a particularly nice reverse. This is the original Hays specimen
which later reappeared in the Pearl catalogue, lot #24. Choice and desirable, probably the finest known
example of this die state. ($100.00)
Hays 11. (S-54) R-3. Maris's Crooked 7; Closed Wreath reverse. Better than VF-30. Light olive. Perfect die,
but shows incusations of leaves between the cap, hair and LI. A choice cent, rare so fine, and superior to
the Newcomb coin, which sold for $37.50. This is probably one of the finest known examples, and is cer-
tainly one of the top four or five. From our 33rd sale, lot #564 of the D. C. Wismer coll. Plate. ($50.00)

defects upon the obverse, which do not mar the attractive olive brown surface The reverse has clairr to
Ex. Fine, but shows a minute nick or planchet defect within the wreath. A remarkable example, at least
equal to the Hines specimen that sold for $65-00. Unusually difficult to find choice. One of the fin* t

Hays 16. (S-58) R-4. Still another, the variety from a broken reverse die. Another original Hoys cent. Down-

ened and repaired obverse. Dark brown, well centered, sharp, and with the usual minor defect or so Ex

Hoys 17. (S-24) R-2. Maris's "Scarred Head," Sheldon's "Apple Cheeks." EF-40 to AU-50. This splendid
cent is nearly Uncirculated with a lustrous, light brown surface. There is a slight rim bruise, upon the
reverse, together with one or two other minor imperfections, on account of which Mr. Downing downgraded
the piece to EF-40. It came from a midwestern dealer, and originally was lot #738 in the Zabriskie sale,
1909. Exceptionally choice and desirable. Plate. ($55.00'
Hoys 18. (S-23 ) R-5. The (usually) Shattered Obverse. This EF-40 example is either the second or third
finest specimen known of this rarity, and is also one of the two perfect die impressions, the other beinq the
Mougey, A.N.S., MS-60 coin, illustrated in Chapman. It is indeed an odd coincidence, that the two perfect
die specimens should also be the two finest known. This piece is light red and gray, the color probably result-
ing from cleaning long ago. No blemishes are readily visible. A magnificent coin, and one of the most de-
sirable in the entire collection when its rarity as a variety and a die state, together with its condition, are
considered. Ex Hines coll. Ex. Rare. Plate. • $150.00'
Hays 19. (S-41) R-4. Maris's Abrupt Hair variety. Almost VF-20. Dark brown. A nice clean coin with onlv

cent is far above averaqe and unusually difficult to locate so. Fx H nes coll. < $37.50 >

now in the A. N.S. collection and forever off the market. Dark brown There ore two serious nicks upon the
outer edge and a few signs of handling. This cent came to Mr. Downing from the Hines collection, and has
a record of $125.00. Previously, it was in the Gilbert (lot #41) and Gronberg-Woodin I lot #126) collec-
tions. The obverse is figured in the Gilbert-Elder edition of Hays, 1910. A splendid addition to any collection

Hays 42. (S-40) R-6. Sprung Reverse Die. F-15. This cent has a rough, dark surfoce and would otherwiv t><
VF-20. The reverse is a little weak in the center, the result of the die being "sprung'' as on the Crosby 14-K
of 1793 and the Hays 27. This piece was the finest that Newcomb could obtain, and wos sold as lot #57 in

Hays 44. (S-66) R-6. ("Almost an R-7" — Sheldon) Maris's "Distant I," Sheldon's "Split Pole" This steel
and brown specimen is VG-8, and a pleasing coin for the condition. A few small edge bruises and two or
three other minor defects do not really detract from its appearance. The obverse is almost VG-10, but the
reverse is not nearly as good. However, when we realize that only five Fine or better pieces exist, and that
three of them are in the A. N.S. collection, the importance of this V. Good example rises considerably. This
is an original Hoys coin; it wos lot #44 in the Hoys-Phelps sale, lot #422 in the W. B. Guy collection
(H. Chapman, 1911), and was obtained by H.K.D. from H. Hines. The obverse is illustrated on the Fros-
sard-Hays Plate, 1893. Uncommonly rare and desirable. Plate. ($65,001
Hays 45. (S-65) R-l. Shielded Hair. VF-30. Dark brown. The reverse has claims to Ex Fine, but there are a
few pin point nicks upon the obverse. An excellent specimen for date collectors. Ex Hines coll. ($30.00l
Hays 46. (S-64) R-5. Shielded Hair; Reverse, Sans Regula. AU-50. Another outstanding coin. This magnificent
piece is russet in color, mottled with black. The surface is superb, and the only defects we notice are a few
minute nicks about the date, visible with a glass. Only the very highest part of the obverse shows any ap-
preciable cabinet friction. This is either the third or fourth finest known, and is mentioned on the top of poge
126 by Dr. Sheldon. Ex Gilbert (lot #46), Granberg-Woodin (lot #132) and Hines collections, by way

a small nick in the upper right obverse field and several green corrosion spots upon the reverse. Light olive

Hoys 49. ( S-62) R-5. The Trephined Head. Variety with the heavy rim break behind the neck Mr. Downing
described this piece as F-15. We feel it would be more accurate to call it almost VF-30, but with a roughened
surface and a few light pit marks, particularly upon the obverse. Steel and light brown. Ex Hines coll. We
wonder if this specimen is the piece that Dr. French once bought as "Uncirculated, but pitted." Very rare,
even in this condition. ($65.00)

Hays 55. (S-68) R-6. The Bisecting Die Break. MS-60. The finest known example. Light reddish brown. A
magnificent, superb cent with bold, sharp borders. The obverse clearly shows that the engraver once more
attempted to depict every hair, as on Hays 7 and 57. The die break is quite faint, showing as a buckle or
crease in the lower half, and is almost invisible between the ear and nose. This coin is far superior to the
Dr. French specimen which was sold for $205.00, some years ago. It is also better than either of the two
A.N.S. pieces, including the EF-40 example purchased in 1931 from B. Max Mehl for $185.00. One of the
highlights of this collection and well worth a good price. Ex Hines coll. Plate. ($265.00)
Hays 55. (S-68) R-6. Another, the die break fairly heavy. VG-10. Fine obverse; worn reverse with a few
minute defects. This variety was first described by Frossard and has been known as one of the Hays-
Frossard discoveries. This is the original Hays coin, the "discovery" specimen. The edge is marked H NEW
VARIETY DESCRIBED. Ex St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co. A highly interesting example of this rarity, that would
not disgrace any cabinet. ($40.00)
Hays 56. (S-72) R-2. The Exact Head of 1795. AU-50, with some claims to MS-60. Olive steel color. Well
centered and struck, almost completely free of blemishes. Both the obverse and reverse dies are broken as
described. There are incusations upon both sides, particularly under IB and at eye, and within the wreath.
Ex St. Louis Stomp & Coin Co. A beauty, and one of the finest extant. Plate. ($65.00)
Hays 57. (S -50) R-6. The Gilbert variety. Maris 58, not known to Hays, but erroneously illustrated in Fros-
sard's 1879 Monograph as the variety later called Hays 7. EF-40. Light olive and russet. A splendid cent
with two or three minute defects, including a small nick at I in LIBERTY. According to Mr. Downing, Dr.
Sheldon described this piece as VF-30 in error. Careful investigation indicates that it is the finest available
specimen, and second only to the Hines, Clapp, A.N.S. example, now forever off the market. The Miller,
Newcomb cent is somewhat sharper, but has a large and deep obverse planchet defect from the pole to the
edge. This coin is from the Ebenezer Gilbert collection, lot #57, and was illustrated in the Gilbert-Elder
edition of Hays, 1910. Later, it appeared in the Granberg-Woodin sale, lot #145; the Dr. French catalogue,
lot #84, and finally, in the A.N.A. Convention sale, 1947, as lot #823. It has a . record of $145.00, and
is well worth considerably more. Plate. ($175.00)
Hays 59. (S-37) R-7. The Steigerwalt variety. Discovered by dealer Steigerwalt about seven years after the
publication of the Frossard-Hays work. VG-8. The fourth best of the six known specimens. It has some
claims to Fine, but these are dispelled by a dark, rough surface. However, this cent is free from blemishes,
and is quite attractive in its own way. The Borcky specimen, mentioned by Sheldon, with a record of $85.00;
obtained by H.K.D. from the Hines coll. Ex. Rare. ($100.00)

The Only Complete Set of the Cents of this Year Ever Offered
Sheldon 73. (Clopp-Newcomb 1 ) R-6. The famous Hyphen variety. VF-20. Light brown. Few infinitesimal
defects, including a reverse edge nick. This cent was lot #95 in the Dr. French collection, and was later
owned by H. Hines. It sold for $125.00 in 1944, and is equal to the second finest example known. A
popular and uncommonly rare variety. Plate. ($125.00)
S-74. (CN 2; D-68) R-4. Lettered edge. EF-40. Dark steel. A superb example of a coin much in demand by
'Type" collectors. Uncommonly choice and desirable. Ex Hines coll. Plate. ($130.00)
S-75. (CN 3; D-67) R-3. Lettered edge. Strictly Fine-15. This coin has claims to V. Fine, but the surface is
slightly roughened. Block. Another excellent piece for the type collector. ($45.00)
S-76a. (CN 4; D-66) R-6. Lettered edge; ONE CENT high. G-6. Evenly worn, particularly upon the reverse.
The rim shows slight bruising, which does not affect the appearance of this rarity. The surface is black in
color, like the last, and is somewhat rough in the field. Ex Dr. Sheldon coll. V. Rare in any condition.
($37.50)
S-76b. (CN 4; D-66) R-l. Plain edge; ONE CENT high. Many of this variety were undoubtedly coined in
1796. MS-65. A "Gem" Uncirculated cent that is almost perfectly centered and struck. The surface is
a magnificent light brown, with traces of lustre. Only one or two microscopic defects remove this piece
from absolute perfection. This coin was lot #472 in the Arthur Sargent collection, catalogued and sold
by S. H. Chapman in 1913. It was later in the Hines coll. Plate. ($50.00)
S-77. (CN 5; D-69) R-4. Plain edge. EF-40. Lustrous, glossy brown. A choice example of a rare cent; in
fact, this variety is almost an R-5 item. One of the best extant. Ex Hines coll. ($80.00)
S-78. (CN 6; D-70) R-l. Plain edge. MS-65. A magnificent mate to the S-76b above. This piece retains
traces of original mint red, and has a superb surface. There is a slight planchet defect, as commonly found
upon this variety, on the top left reverse edge. Uncommon and difficult to obtain so choice. Plate. ($65.00)
S-79. (CN 7) R-7. The famous and excessively rare variety with a reeded edge. Good plus, the surface black
and rather rough. An unusually sharp example of this rarity. Unfortunately, the edges are somewhat bruised.
Mr. Downing graded this cent as G-6, and stated that it was the second or third finest known. It is at least
equal to any in collector's hands. The Newcomb piece, G-5, was sold for $165.00. Ex Hines coll. Only five
specimens known. Plate. ($100.00)
S-79. (CN 7) R-7. Reeded edge cent. Brockage. The reverse shows the impression of another obverse, in-
cused, from a second coin having failed to leave the dies before this piece was inserted. Fine, but holed at
left. This is the identical specimen described by Sheldon as the fifth known example. Ex Hines coll. Unique.
Plate. ($50.00)
Most authorities agree that the reeded edge cents were experimental pieces. They were probably made late in December, 1795,
prior to the change to a plain edge cent. Since the Pattern Birch Cents of 1792, all of the Mint's copper coins had some kina
of an edge device, as do our silver and gold to this day, and probably for the same reason. When it became apparent tha
the retention of a lettered edge would not be feasible on thin planchet coins, the Mint authorities presumably looked obou
for alternatives, being conditioned to the presence of some edge inscription or device. Since the Cent and I Eag le were ot the
same diameter, we feel it is only logical to assume that they tried reeding the edges of cent planchets. Why *he experiment
was abandoned, after striking only a few Patterns, is not easy to explain. Possibly, it was a realization that the then un er-
weight cents no longer needed such protection as reeding, as they did when they contained a cent's worth of * 0 PP®T
This variety has been known since 1862, when one brouoht $2.50 in the Lilliendahl sale. It was listed by McGirk (6A) a a
plain edge variety, and the same error occurs in the W. B. Guy collection catalogue, 1911. The wonder is that no one ga
62
it any publicity before Clapp. There is on error on Sheldon's plate ot this rarity. He shows the correct obverse muled with
Rev. "S" of 1796 (Double Loot under 0 in OF). It should hove been Rev. "U" os on Plate 17. ICorrectly Illustrated in the
Standard Catalog.)
The Unique Lettered Edge Jefferson Cent
1713 S-NC 1 (CN X-l) R-8. Firm, robust masculine heod with the hair combed out almost stroight
No hoir ribbon. The cap is small and the pole is thin and distant from the bust. The dote is
also small, with crude figures. The lowest lock forms a long, lazy S type of curl under the
bust. LIBERTY in large letters, widely spaced. The general oppearance of the obverse is one
of high relief. Rev. The letters in the legend are coarse and heovy. The wreoth has large, "Lob-
ster Claw" leaves and the ribbon bow is in three loops instead of two. Large fraction, with frac-
tion bar extending far beyond the denominator at both ends. Nine berries left, four right. Seven-
teen leaves left, eighteen right. Very wide planchet, the border milling wide and deep upon both
sides. Edge lettered ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR. This lettering superficially resembles
that on the 1794-5 cents of undoubted Mint origin. Single leaf after DOLLAR. Fine- 1 5. The
lower part of the reverse is not struck up, but the piece is sharp enough, where bold, to lay
claim to VF-20. Brick red, mottled with black. The surface is extraordinarily clean except for
a few minute edge nicks. There are a number of file marks where weakly struck upon the
reverse. This piece was lot #286 in the Newlin sale, Haseltine, 1883, lot #271 in the Maris
sale, Henkels, 1886; and was later owned by W. C. Newcomer and H. Hines. The latter pur-
chased it from Macallister for $400.00 in 1935. This is probably the rarest and most interesting
Large Cent. There are many good reasons which lead us to believe that this piece will eventually
be recognized as one of the major rarities in the U.S. series. It is the prize offering in this
collection, and our estimate is only a rough guess of its real value. Coins of far less rarity and
historical import, have sold for much more. Absolutely unique. Plate. ($1,250.00)
This coin, os well as the commoner plain edge Jetterson Cents, acquires a new interest in view of R. H. Williamson's
suggestion, that they are Patterns tor a "Contract" coinage, mode by one John Harper.
Harper was responsible tor some ot the New Jersey Cents. He was also instrumental in the striking of the Peter Getz
(1792 Washington) Halt Dollars. It the latter had been accepted by the government, he would have been Chief Coiner.
It is a historical fact that in 1795, there was renewed agitation to abolish the Mint, the idea being that we should hove
proceeded on a contract coinage basis, exactly as the U. S. had done in 1787 with the Fugios. It is also a fact, that
John Harper, the New Jersey coiner and Trenton sowmaker, made some dies and struck impressions os samples of his
work. He hoped to be awarded the coinage contract, as Jarvis had been awarded it in 1787. The clamor for abolition
of the Mint finally blew over, and after Elias Boudinot became Director, he learned that Harper still hod his dies
Boudinot took them into the Mint, thinking it improper that o private individual should retain them. He later induced
Congress to reimburse Harper for them, and the legislature voted $100.00 for that purpose.
The Jefferson Cents hove long been a fascinating enigma. Most of the information outlined here can be found in the
"History ot the First United States Mint — Its People and Its Operations," by Frank H. Stewart, 1924. A careful analysis
of that scarce book, and general research concerning the period in question, leads us to believe thot the Jefferson Cents
were definitely the identical patterns made by Harper.
The time element fits perfectly, ond there are no other pieces known to us that could have been Horper's samples.
Moreover, it is logical to assume that Harper would have conformed in his devices and legends to the terms of the
Mint acts of 1792-3, and the Jeffersons do just that. Again, it is pretty obvious that they ore not Mint products, but
neither are they counterfeits. They are well struck pieces of good copper ond full weight, which a counterfeit couldn't
be. The profit on counterfeiting cents would have to be either from low costs or wide distribution. These coins bear no
evidence of either. The only remaining possibility is that they arc Harper's samples.
1714 S-80. (CN X-2) R-6. The Plain Edge Jefferson Cent. The reverse of this variety is entirely different from that
of the last, though it resembles it very closely. The Fraction bar is much shorter, and Sheldon calls this the
"Many Berries" reverse (Eleven berries left, twelve right). On this piece, the left branch of the wreath
has nineteen leaves, while on the preceding, it only has seventeen leaves. VG-7. While the obverse stands
out in bold relief, this cent is almost black in color, and has a decidedly rough surface. The outer perimeter
shows considerable wear upon both sides. An acceptable example of this rare and popular coin. ($55.00)
1715 S-80. (CN X-2) R-6. Another. Poor, the edge domaged by hammering. Still a "Jefferson Cent."
1716 S-80. (CN X-2) R-6. Still another. This is the unique example struck over a Liberty Cap Lettered Edge cent
It is mentioned by Dr. Sheldon on page 149. Fair-2. Light brown, with a V. Fair obverse, but holed, above
the head, long ago. Part of the upper surface of the cap and the back of the head are visible below ONE
CENT on the reverse; a row of long serrations (i.e. denticles) clearly show upon the obverse, and one of
our friends can even make out the word STATE (S). This is probably a trial piece of Harper's second die
Wgt. 12.35 Grams; 190.6 Grains. Of considerable interest. Unique. ($20.00)

1717 Sheldon 81. (Clopp-Newcomb A; G-Al R-2. "Closest Date" variety. Perfect obverse die. AU-50. Dark brown,

S-86. (CN K; G-L) R-5. This could be called the "Office Boy Reverse." F-15. The obverse is almost V. Fine,
the reverse only Fine. Black color. There ore two or three minute defects upon the reverse, including a
very light scratch from under the N in CENT to the edge. Another underrated coin. V. Rare. ($60.00)
S-87. (CN C; G-C) R-2. AU-50. Brown, mottled with red. The denticles are not strong, as usual, but every-
thing is as bold as could be desired. A splendid cent, the few microscopic imperfections visible only with
a glass. Any 1796 Liberty Cap is really very rare in this fine preservation, and this piece is one of the
finest known of the variety. Ex Hines coll. Plate. ($125.00)
S-88. (CN H; G-H) R-6. The third rarest Liberty Cap. Mint State 60. A highlight of the entire collection;
unquestionably, the finest specimen in existence, far superior to any graded by Dr. Sheldon. (Condition
census: 40-20) Beautifully centered and struck. Superb steel color, the reverse showing faint traces of mint
lustre. A slight defect ot the top reverse milling, is all that separates this magnificent cent from MS-65.
Obtained by the late H. C. Hines from David Proskey. The obverse is illustrated on the Sheldon plate. It
is extremely difficult to place a valuation upon this piece, as it is for any "Finest known." Plate. ($325.00)
S-89. (CN J; G-K) R-4. Strictly Fine- 12. Dark gray. A sharp and bold cent, showing only the slightest signs
of handling. Like many of the coins in this collection, this piece was graded rather conservatively by Mr.
Downing. It is an excellent example of a variety with a low condition census. Ex Proskey and Hines colls.
Decidedly rare. ($40.00)
S-90. (CN I; G-l ) R-7. The finest known specimen of the rarest Liberty Cop cent. Mint State 60. One of
the outstanding items in the entire collection, in fact, one of the most important pieces offered in this sale.
Superb light and medium brown, lightly toned with black. The reverse displays faint traces of original mint
luster. This magnificent cent is well centered ond unusually bold, the bust of Liberty particularly so. Almost
a "Gem" coin, with an attractive, glossy surface. It is by far the finest of the nine known examples, and has
the short vertical crack above the right top of N in ONE upon the reverse. Only two other specimens exceed
EF-40; one of these is in the A.N.S. collection and is almost AU-50. The others known are all decidedly
inferior; Newcomb's was only V. Fair, and Pearl had none. This cent is worthy of the highest superlatives,
and was Homer Downing's prize possession. Our estimate is hardly a true reflection of its value — it cannot
be duplicated at any price. Plate. ($500.00)
S-91. (CN F; G-F) R-3. The Wide Date variety. Strictly F-15. This coin could be called V. Fine, but the
surface is lightly pitted, here and there, upon both sides. It is dark brown in color, well centered, and un-
usually bold. Generally, this variety occurs in quite worn condition, as do most of the 1796's. Ex Proskey
and Hines colls. ($35.00)
The Draped Bust Cents of 1 796
Mason's Coin & Stamp Magazine, December, 1867, maintains that the change from Liberty Cap to "Fillet Head" Cents, in
1796, occurred in July. This estimate agrees independently with the conclusions published in the Coin Collector's Journal in
1951, that the 109,825 cents of the second quarter were Liberty Caps, and the 363,375 made after July were the first Draped
Busts.
S-92. (CN 1; G-l ) R-2. The second commonest Draped Bust of 1796, but far from common in this condition.
F-15. Dark brown. This choice and attractive cent would be almost VF-20, if it were not for a few rust
spots ot the base of the obverse. A coin that belittles its description. Obtained from D. Proskey by H. Hines.
($30.00)
S-93. (CN 2; G-2) R-3. Mr. Downing graded this piece os VG-10. Actually, it is a difficult specimen to
describe. The bust is exceptionally sharp, and if the coin were clean, the obverse would be EF-40. How-
ever, the upper left portion of the obverse is lightly corroded, and the reverse is uniformly pitted. Black.
This cent must be seen to be appreciated. ($25.00)
S-93. (CN 2; G-2) R-3. Another, the reverse die heavily broken over ER through ICA ond the rim. Strictly
F-12. Black. Few minor edge and other defects, mainly upon the obverse. Definitely above average and
highly interesting. Ex Hines coll. Rare. ($27.50)
S-94. (CN 26; G-33) R-5. Fine and sharp. H.K.D. called this one F-12, but it appears somewhat better to
us. Dark steel. Usual unimportant defects. The condition census is 40-15, and since the American Numis-
matic Society has the EF-40 coin, this is one of the top half dozen or so. Ex Hines coll. Really rare.
($37.50)
S-95. (CN 27; G-34) R-5. Equally rare as the last. Somewhat better than F-15. Dark gray in color, as most
varieties with this obverse seem to be. A sharp and unusually desirable cent. Ex Hines coii. Plate. ($50.00)
S-96. (CN 29; G-36) R-7. There are exactly five specimens known of this rarity, two of which are in the
A.N.S., ond forever off the market. This is the finest of the five. VG-10. Black; the surface rough, but
sharp. Perfect reverse die. Of equal rarity to the 1793 14-K. By Dr. Sheldon's own definitions of NC ,
as given on pages 44 and 54, this variety should have been so listed in the text. In any event, this speci-
men was lot # 1 28 in the Newcomb catalog, 1945, where it was incorrectly listed. Another Finest known,
ond as such, a hard coin to place an estimate upon. ($125.00’
S-97. (CN 4; G-4) R-3. Strictly Fine- 15. Light steel. An exceptionally clean cent, well struck, and unusually
nice. Hardly rare, as a variety, but exceedingly difficult to find so choice. Ex Hines coll. ($3 5.00)
S-98. (CN 3; G-3) R-4. A numismatic tragedy. This light gray-brown piece would be strictly VF-20, but it
has a number of rough handling defects. The most prominent of these is on the hair, but others are at L
in LIBERTY and upon the bottom of the reverse. H.K.D. graded this, as a result, as VG-10. Hardly as bad
as it sounds. Ex Hines coll. Rare. ($22.50)
S-99. (CN 30; G-38) R-6. ("Possibly R-7"- — Sheldon) Early state of the dies. VG-7. Dark gray. Evenly worn,
particularly at the outer edges. The bottom of the date is somewhat weak. A comparatively clean and
definitely desirable example. There are not many top grade specimens of this variety, as the low condition
census (40-15) demonstrates. Ex Hines coll. Only nine or ten pieces known in all. ($45.00)
S-100. (CN 20; G-20) R-6. Good, nearly V. Good, but corrosion shows upon the reverse. Downgraded to
V Fair-3 by Mr. Downing, for this reason, and we think perhaps too severely. Light steel gray. Ex Hines
coll. V. Rare. ($20.00)

attractive. Purchased at our sale of May, 1950. ' $45.00 1
S-103. (CN 8; G-9) R-6. The rare LIHERTY with type of '94 reverse. Strictly Fine- 1 2. The surface is on
attractive brown and gray. An exceptionally choice and desirable cent, marred by nothing but even wear.
Ex Hines coll. Very rare, and worth a good price. ($75.00)
There ore three types of reverse between 1794 and 1807, and all three come on 1796 cents The Type of '94 is marked by
coarse, saw-tooth denticles; bows high above knot; many small berries; small fraction placed low, s ngle leaf at C of CENT,
fourteen leaves left ond either seventeen or eighteen leaves right The 1796 reverses of this type ore S, U ond V Rev U
was used on the reeded edge cent of 1795. The Type of '95 has single leaves at top of wreath All of the 1796 Liberty Cap
reverses ond eight of the Draped Bust reverses, are of this type. There is great variation in number and placement of leoves
The Typo of '97 has sixteen leaves left, nineteen leoves right, ond was used on all dies, 1797-1807, except the resurrected
1 796 reverses.
S-104. (CN 9; G-10) R-3. The regularly found LIHERTY Fine-12 Black. The surface displays o very few
minute signs of handling, and the reverse is unusually well centered A nice "Penny," and in great demand
as a type. Ex Hines coll. 1 $50.00 »
S-105. (CN 16; G-16) R-6. The Double Cut 6. This cent was graded as VG-7, by H.K.D. The reverse is con-
siderably better than that, but the obverse bears unmistakable signs of extensive repoir work Light brown
color. Still not a specimen to be shrugged off, as there are only about nine or ten known in ony condition.
Of these, there are about four or five in Fine condition or better. Walter Breen tells us that this variety

S-106. (CN 23; G-25) R-5. Perfect obverse die F - 1 5 . Strictly Fine ond sharp, with on edge bruise upon
the obverse and two or three similar defects upon the reverse milling. Dark steel color. A very rarely offered
coin in any condition. Ex Hines coll. ($45.00)
S-106. (CN 23; G-25) R-5. Another, the variety with a cracked obverse die VG-10. An attractive, cleanly
and evenly worn, comparatively unblemished example. Steel gray. Also from the Hines coll. Quite rare.
($30.00)
S-107. (CN 17; G- 1 7 ) R-7. Strictly F-15. This rarity could be called V. Fine, but the surface is slightly
rough, particularly upon the reverse. There is also a cut in the milling, on the reverse, together with a few
other edge defects. Dark steel and olive. This piece appears sharper to us than the Miller, Sheldon exomple,
illustrated on Plate 17 of the Doctor's book. It is almost as desirable as the VF-20 specimen in the A.N.S.,
which also has edge dents. For some odd reason, it is unaccountably missing in Dr. Sheldon's tabulation
of finest specimens. We can call it the second or third finest known, ond certainly the best one available
of the seven or eight in existence. Ex Hines coll. Of great rarity. Plote. ($125.00)
S-108. (CN 21; G-23) R-4. Strictly VF-30. The obverse is almost Ex. Fine, but the reverse is slightly corroded
at the lower left. Dark red, mottled with olive and brown. A very beautiful example of o rare variety, that
was probably struck in 1797. This supposed R-4 occurs less than one third as frequently as the following
variety, S-109. Decidedly rare. Plate. ($85.00)
S-109. (CN 6; G-6) R-4. EF-40. A splendid cent, with an even dark green surface. Glossy, well centered and
sharply struck. This variety is not rare in worn condition, but (like oil 1796's) is extremely hard to find so
choice. A prize coin, probably the second or third finest known. Worth o good price. Plote. ($100.00>
S- 110. (CN 5; G-5) R-2. The commonest of the Draped Busts, and probably struck in 1797 or ’98. This cent
is graded F-15 by Homer Downing, but the obverse is a full VF-30 though with two old scratches, one on
the neck, the other in the field at right. The reverse is somewhat rough, but well centered ond bold. Dork
olive. The state of the dies is well advanced; there is a heavy break over TY of LIBERTY upon the obverse
An attractive cent, far above average. Ex Hines coll. ($35.00)
S- 110. (CN 5; G-5) R-2. Another, the die breaks less advanced. VG-8. Nearly Fine, brown, but the reverse
not struck up. There are several edge bruises and other defects upon the obverse. Also from the Hines coll.
($17.50)
S- 111. (CN 24; G-29) R-5. VG-8. A bold and Fine cent with a slightly rough surface. Nicely centered on
the reverse. Russet and brown, mottled with block. Quite rare. Ex Hines coll. ($30.00)
S-112. (CN 13; G- 14) R-5. Almost F-15. The obverse has claims to VF-20, and is unusally sharp and clear.
However, the center of the reverse is not struck up, and there are about three unimportant edge bruises
upon the obverse, together with one or two other minute defects. Dark olive. This variety is listed as R-5.
but is rarer than the lost. Ex Proskey and Hines. <$55 .00 1
S- 1 13. (CN 10; G- 1 1 ) R-6. The Distant 1. F-15, but nearly V. Fine. Dark green color. This piece was lot
#106 in the Newcomb sale, and was there described as "Very fine, dark brown almost black " In any event
it is one of the top four or five. Considerably rarer than the Gilbert H ( S- 88 • Upper brocket of R-6 V

S- 1 15. (CN 11; G-12) R-3. Another, broken obverse die. The so-colled Gilbert 41. VG-7. The obverse
shows considerable wear and is somewhat mishandled. The reverse is much sharper, with claims to Fine
and has one or two light edge bruises. Dark brown and gray. As good as they come. ($17 50)'
S- 1 16. (CN 19; G-19) R-5. Called by H.K.D., F-12. The coin could probably be called F- 1 5, were it" not
for a light obverse scratch behind the eye and a pin point nick upon the reverse. Black. Sharp and bold
and definitely desirable. The variety has a low condition census of 20-12, so this specimen is probably the
third or fourth best. Much rarer than S- 1 1 1 , in any condition. Ex Proskey and Hines. ($37 50)
S- 1 17. (CN 12; G-13) R-6. (Nearer to R-7) VG-7 or 8. The obverse is V. Good to Fine, but is badly cor-
roded at the top, almost obliterating the word LIBERTY. There is also a small edge nick below the date
The reverse is strictly Fine and sharp, with only one or two minute defects. In fact, the reverse is far better
than that shown upon the Sheldon plate. Dark brown and steel. The condition census is even lower on this
variety than the last. An observation series of over 300 1796 Draped Busts has so far failed to turn up
even one example of this variety, even though one NC-4 and two CN-14's were located. Ex Hines coll
Excessively rare, and a coin that must be seen to be appreciated. ($40 00)
S- 1 18. (CN 14) R-7. Good-6. The obverse is just Good, and the reverse is Very Good and sharp. There are
a few minute defects, but this cent is comparatively clean. An acceptable specimen of an extremely rare
coin. Ex Proskey and Hines. ($45 00)
S- 1 19. (CN 15; G-15) R-3. One of the Nichols find. Almost EF-40. This coin is actually Uncirculated but
the surface is slightly rough and defective. Olive and brick red, mottled with brown. A nice cent, with boldly
struck borders, excellent for the "Date" collector, who just wants one 1796 Draped Bust cent. Ex Hines coll.

1797
Sheldon-120a. (Clapp-Newcomb 2; D-94) R-4. Wide date; The Reverse of 1796. Plain edge. VF-20. Dark
brown. A nicely struck and comparatively clean cent. This, and the next two following, are a definite
"Type," on the same order as the 1798 cent, reverse of '96. Ex Hines coll. Much scarcer than the gripped
edge sub-variety. ($30.00)
S- 1 20b. (CN 2; D-94) R-2. As the last; "Gripped" edge. VF-20. Dark steel color. A well centered and
evenly struck coin. Ex Hines coll. This variety is in great demand. ($30.00)
S-120b. (CN 2; D-94) R-2. Another. Strictly Fine, but with three cuts upon the obverse, and a fourth,
somewhat heavier, at the base of the reverse. Downgraded by H.K.D. to VG-7. Ex Hines coll. ($10.00)
S- 121. (CN 3; D-93) R-3. Close date; The Reverse of 1796. Gripped edge. VF-20. An even, slightly irides-
cent, light brown. Well centered, the dies broken as described. Rarer than the preceding, and highly prized
by type collectors. Ex Hines coll. ($40.00)
S-122. (CN 4) R-7. Almost Fine; VG-8. A well struck example of this rarity the words ONE CENT and the
leaves of the wreath being sharp and clear. From a perfect reverse die. Steel and brown. There is a minor
bruise upon the obverse edge, and one or two other unimportant defects. At the time his book was published,
Dr. Sheldon only knew of four examples with a condition census of 12-8. Ten specimens are now known, of
which this is the third finest. All are struck on poor, rough planchets. This piece was lot #140 in the New-
comb sale, where it was described as Fine. Ex. Rare. ($40.00)
S-123. (CN 6; D-106) R-5. Very Fine-20. The obverse is sharp, with claims to VF-30. The reverse is un-
evenly struck, and can only be called F-15. Light olive brown. A well centered cent, showing the slightest
signs of handling. This is the second Nichols find variety, and is rarer in this condition than in Mint State.
Ex Hines coll. V. Rare, more so than S-127. ($35.00)
S- 1 25. (CN 8) R-7. Only Good-6, but of the greatest rarity. Crudely struck upon a poor planchet, which has
acquired a rough surface. This cent appears better than its description suggests, as it has sharp, evenly
centered borders, and a rather pleasing color. It was lot #143 in the Newcomb sale, where it was de-
scribed as V. Good. Dr. Sheldon only saw this, the Hines coin, and the A.N.S. specimen. Two others arc-
believed to be known. Excessively rare. ($40.00)
S-126. (CN 9; D-107) R-3. Badly broken obverse die. AU-50. Rather weakly struck in the center of the
reverse, but a splendid specimen with sharp, bold borders. Light brown. This is one of the finest known
examples of this variety. Plate. ($65.00)
S-127. (CN 10) R-5. The Peaked Hair Wave. From a perfect obverse die. Strictly F-15. Dark brown. There
are two unimportant edge bruises, visible from the reverse, and one or two infinitesimal defects in the left
obverse field. Ex Hines coll. An attractive and uncommonly scarce cent. ($30.00)
S-128. (CN 1 I; D-109) R-3. Perfect obverse die. VG-10. This sharply struck cent would be Very Fine, if it
were not for a rough and dull surface. Dark steel. A coin that should definitely be seen. ($12.50)
S-128. (CN 11; D-109) R-3. Broken obverse die. VF-30. Dark brown. A splendid coin, though not fully
struck up on the lower right part of the reverse. Choice and highly desirable. Ex Hines coll. ($37.50)
S- 130. (CN 13; D-99) R-2. The variety with a highly defective left ribbon end. About Unc. The obverse is
unusually sharp, and could be called AU-55. The reverse is not as well struck up, and shows a few slight
indications of handling. The edge is somewhat defective, which does not mar the beauty of this magnificent
cent. Glossy dark brown (Obv.), and light brown (Rev.). Both H. Hines and Homer Downing graded this
piece as AU-50. ($50.00)
S- 1 30. (CN 13; D-99) R-2. Another, as the last, but with the break behind the hair, on the obverse, more
developed, and with signs of die deterioration in the right obverse field. AU-50. A well struck, well centered
coin. Dark brown Plate. ($50.00)
S-131. (CN 14; D-98) R-3. Stemless Wreath. VF-30. Sharply struck, but with slight signs of handling. Dark
brown. One of the most popular "Type" coins in the entire series. Similar examples have brought over
$100.00. ($90.00)
S- 132. (CN 15) R-6. ("May be R-7" — Sheldon) Defective B, No Curved Break; Rarest Stemless Wreath.
A numismatic tragedy of the worst order. This cent would be EF-40, and the finest of the seven or eight
known, if some vandal did not cut the obverse in three or four places. Dark brown. H.K.D. graded this piece
os VG-10, and we will follow suit. Ex Dr. Sheldon. Extremely rare. ($40.00)

V. Good, but has three edge bruises upon the obverse, and two similar, but much lighter defects upon the
reverse rim. Brown. Another cent that should be seen. I $25.00)
S- 1 34. (CN 17; D-95) R-4. Small fraction. The variety with a period before the throot AU-50 A splendidly
struck cent, perfectly centered upon the obverse. The surface is highly iridescent, ond unusually attractive
so. The only perceptible defects ore two or three granular morks in the left obverse field. A choice ond
highly desirable example of this variety, said to be the finest known specimen. Plate. ( $80.00 1
The crude ONE CENT ond small figures in the fraction, link the above reverse to the earliest of the "Type of '97' dies,
found upon 1796 reverses I, K, O and R. It is probably one of the first 1797 dies used. The fact that this variety occasionally
comes on planchets with gripped edges, differing only slightly from those of S-120 ond 121, links it with the latter and con-
firms the designation of earliest '97's.
S- 135. (CN 18; D-100) R-4. The third Nichols find variety. Mint Stote-60. A superb cent. The obverse is
fully struck up, a characteristic hardly common with this variety. The denticles are evenly and boldy struck,
and the impression is remarkably well centered. Lustrous light brown. A magnificent example, selected by
H. Hines from several Uncirculated specimens. Plate. ($1 00.00 1
S-136. (CN 19; D-102) R-4. Strictly AU-50, with claims to AU-55. The obverse is Uncirculated, but the
reverse is (as almost always) poorly struck, due to a weakened die. There is a very slight rim defect upon
the reverse, as well as a few traces of roughness. This splendid piece is struck upon a large, full planchet,
and has lustrous light and dark brown surfaces. Like the Nichols find coins, this cent wos struck upon a
Boulton & Watt flan. It also hos a blunted reverse, like the Nichols hoard varieties, Nos. 119, 123 and
135. One of the top half dozen known, possibly the third best. Ex Hines coll. Plate. ($82.50)
S-137. (CN 20; D-101) R-2. Fine-12. This cent would be F- 1 5, but for a slight edge bruise ot the bottom
of the reverse. Nicely centered and struck, with a pleasing brown and steel surface. Ex Hines coll. Definitely
rare in Fine condition. ($12.50)
S- 138. (CN 21; D-103) R-3. AU-50. Another choice cent. Well centered and struck The reverse swelling
at the upper right, only weakens ond does not obliterate the letters. Dark brown color. A splendid example
from the Hines collection. Plate. ($65.00'
S- 139. (CN 22; D-105) R-2. Mint State-70. Sharply struck and well centered. Both sides display considerable
mint lustre. A truly magnificent cent, the finest known specimen. Ex Hines coll. Worth o good price.
Plate. ($85.00'
S-140. (CN 23; D-104) R-3. VF-20. The reverse swelling is almost negligible, os this is one of the first im-
pressions struck. Dark brown. This die state is really rare. Ex Hines coll. ( $25.00 1
S- 141. (CN 24) R-6. The Knobless 9. Strictly F-15. A well centered and struck cent This coin has some
claims to V. Fine, but shows signs of slight handling and traces of roughness at the base of the reverse.
Dark steel. Probably the third finest extant. V. Rare. ($50.00'
S-142. (CN 26; D-96) R-6. Style II Lettering. VG-8. This coin would be Fine, except for a few light pit
morks, here and there, on both obverse and reverse. There is also a slight edge bruise ot the bottom of the
reverse. Not an unattractive example, and prohibitively rare in decent preservation, there being less than
five fine ones in existence. ($25.00'
S-143. (CN 27; D-97) R-6. 7 Imbedded in Drapery; Second Rarest Stemless Wreath. Fine-15. A shorp cent,
with a number of minor defects, including a reverse nick at D of UNITED. Brown and olive. This specimen
is probably among the top four or five examples known of this variety. Ex Hines coll. Extremely rare, par-
ticularly in Fine. ($65.00)

being a short and light reverse scratch. Well centered and attractive. Dark brown. This is lot #178 of the
Newcomb sale. It is far from the worst of the seven or eight known exomples, and is probably the third or
fourth best. Ex. Rare. ($40.00'

sirable example of o V. Rare die. Ex Hines coll. i $50.00'
S-147. (C 5; D-l 16) R-6. Skewed Fraction. VG-10. An evenly worn and clean example of this highly under-

S-152. (C 10; D- 113) R-2. The Wider Overdate, 1798/7. F-15. This piece would have claims to VF-20
were it not for o minute edge nick upon the obverse; several thin and light scratches in the obverse field '
and a few reverse defects, including a round nick on the final 0 of the fraction. Medium brown mottled
with black. A nice cent, hardly worthy of so critical a description. Like the two preceding, in great' demand.

that would be VF-30, or better, if it were not for a short dig in the right obverse field, and one or two
minor reverse defects. Dark olive, with a glossy, attractive surface. Decidedly uncommon. ($25.00)
S-153. (C 11; D-120) R-4. Another, like the last, but with a broken obverse die. F-12. A Very Fine cent with
a number of pit marks upon the obverse, and a rim defect or so. Dark brown. Scarce, like the last. ($15.00)
S-154. (C 12) R-4. The Imbedded 8. VF-20. A well struck coin, with a few minute defects, plus a light edge
bruise at the top of the obverse. Dark brown and steel. This variety is slightly scarcer than the two preceding
but all are well within the top bracket of R-4, and are almost R-5 items. ($30 00)
S- 1 55. (C 13; D- 110) R-3. GROUP IV: (SMALL DATES; STYLE I HAIR.) Widest Date; The Reverse of

S-156. (C 14) R-7. Compact Date; The Second Rarest Reverse of 1796. VG-7. An attractive cent, with a few
minor defects, including a small obverse edge bruise. Dark brown. This variety has a low condition census of
20-10. Ex D. Proskey and H. Hines. Excessively rare. ($35.00)
S-157. (C 16; D-122) R-2. Variety with three fused denticles below the 9 in date. Perfect obverse die. VF-20.
Well centered and struck. Dark olive color. Choice and above average. ($15.00)
S-157. (C 16; D-122) R-2. Another, like the last, but from the broken obverse die. F-15. A Very Fine cent,
except that the surface is slightly rough and shows evidence of corrosion. However, most of the roughness
is inherent to the die. Medium brown color. Ex Hines coll. ($12.50)
S-158. (C 18; D-126) R-3. Perfect obverse and broken reverse dies. Almost VF-20. STA of STATES weak upon

Ex D. Proskey and H. Hines. ($18.50)
S-158. (C 18; D-126) R-3. Another. Broken obverse and broken reverse dies, the obverse breaks behind the
head just starting. VF-30. This cent would be EF-40, except for a number of defects, particularly on the
edge, and including a rather severe reverse rim bruise. Light brown, mottled somewhat with black. Ex Hines
coll. A nice cent. By far the scarcest of the R-3 varieties. ($30.00)
S-158. (C 18; D-126) R-3. Another. The reverse die badly broken. VG-7. A Fine cent, but with spots of
corrosion. Steel color. Ex Proskey and Hines. ($8.50)
S-158. (C 18; D-126) R-3. Still another. A later stage of the reverse die. VG-7. A sharp coin, but with a rough
surface, and the usual minor defects, including a reverse edge bruise or so. Very dark brown. ($7.50)
S- 159. (C 19; D-127) R-4. The same obverse die as the four preceding, but with the parallel cracks behind
the head heavy. Reverse; Wide fraction with great distance between 1 and 0. F-15. A sharp, almost V. Fine
coin, but with three cuts or bruises upon the obverse rim. Dark brown. A popular variety, and like many,
hardly as bad as the description sounds. Ex Hines coll. ($18.50)
S-160. (C 20; D- 1 30) R-6. Very Good-8. A sharp cent, with claims to Fine, but somewhat defective. Dark
brown. Its general appearance, however, is more than satisfactory. Ex Hines coll. V. Rare. ($16.00)
S- 161. (C 21; D- 130) R-l. Struck from the lightly cracked reverse die. Strictly VF-30. This handsome cent
would be EF-40, except for a short and light scratch under the Y in LIBERTY. Sharply struck, with an
attractive medium brown surface. Far above average. Ex Hines coll. ($18.00)
S- 161. (C 21; D- 130) R-l. Another, with heavy rim break above ATES of STATES, upon the reverse. VF-20.
Well centered and struck. The obverse is a golden brown, and somewhat mottled, with a slight edge bruise
above the I in LIBERTY. The reverse is a lustrous dark brown. Hardly rare, but a desirable "Penny." ($12.50)
S-162. (C 22) R-5. Top of Hair Unfinished; Blunt 1 in Date. VF-20. Well centered. Dark olive. "Swellings"
are evident upon the obverse of this cent, which indicate its rarity in Fine or better condition. The Newcomb
specimen was decidedly inferior. This desirable piece, like so many others in this comprehensive collection,
originated with Henry Hines. V. Rare. ($30.00)
S- 163. (C 23; D- 131) R-6. Top of Hair Unfinished; Pointed 1 in Date. Perfect obverse die. VG-8. A sharp
cent, with the usual defects, but including a sharp obverse edge bruise and gouging at ONE, upon the

S-163. (C 23; D- 131) R-6. Another, like the last, but from the broken obverse die. VG-8. A Fine cent, but
with light edge bruises on both sides, and a few microscopic handling defects. Dark brown. Ex Hines coll.
A very difficult variety to locate. V. Rare. ($17.50)
S-164. (C 24; D-123) R-4. Die Sinking at Date. VF-35. A beautiful example of a highly underrated cent.
Well struck, with a pleasing brown surface. The only noticeable defect is a minute nick to the left of the hair
ribbon. This variety is nearer to R-5, than R-4, and may even be a full R-5. The piece at hand is one of the
finest known specimens. Rare, and highly desirable. ($50.00)
S- 1 65. (C 25; D-l 18) R-5. GROUP V: (LARGE DATES; STYLE II HAIR.) Fully Fine-12. Dark brown. A com-
paratively clean example of another underrated variety. This piece is seldom found Fine, and should possibly
be called R-6. H.K.D. marked this cent as "Very rare in this condition." ($20.00)
S-166. (C 26; D-l 18) R-l. Extremely Fine-40. A splendid, lustrous olive cent. Far from rare, but unusually
choice and highly desirable. From D. Proskey and H. Hines. ($25.00)
S-167. (C 27; D-l 18) R-2. From the almost perfect obverse die, which is unusual. Like the last, EF-40. This
cent has faint traces of original mint color, and could almost be graded AU-50. It is far above average, and
worthy of a home in the most select collection. Ex H. Hines. ($32.50)
S-167. (C 27; D-l 18) R-2. Another, from the broken obverse die. VF-30. A sharp and choice coin, dark
brown in color. This piece would be EF-40, except for a few minute defects. ($22.50)
S-167. (C 27; D-l 18) R-2. Still another. This specimen is from badly broken obverse and reverse dies.

The surface is a splendid, light golden brown with considerable original mint color. A magnificent cent, the
second finest extant of this rare variety. Well worth a good price. Plate. ($80.00)
S-170. (C 20; D - 1 28 ) R-3. From the perfect obverse die. EF-40. Another choice piece, the major defect being
a pit mark above IB of LIBERTY upon the obverse. The surface, aside from a few normal granular defects,
is superb, retaining traces of the original mint color. This variety may be R-4. In any event, this is one of the
top half dozen known examples. ($40,001
S- 171. (C 31; D-133) R-5. Heavy Rim Break Left of L in LIBERTY. AU-50. A magnificent cent. Only a slight
reverse rim bruise, above T in STATES, removes this piece from the AU-55 cotegory. The surface is a lustrous
golden brown, but while mottled lightly with block, still retains considerable original mint color This is
believed to be the second finest exomple known. Rare in any condition; decidedly rare so choice. Plate.

S-173. (C 33; D-132) R-2. Rim Break Over RTY in LIBERTY. AU-50 Another choice and highly desirable
cent, with the usual infinitesimal handling defects. There is a serious reverse planchet defect, from the
wreath to between AT of STATES. This flaw clearly illustrates the meaning of the term "Planchet Defect,"
as the leaves and letters are clearly struck over it. Dark brown. This variety was struck after the 1799 NC- 1 ,
as the reverse has a crack at NITE in UNITED, not found upon the 1799 die. A highly desirable specimen
from the celebrated collection of Virgil Brand, via H. Hines. Plate. ($37.50)
S-173. (C 33; D-132) R-2. Another, the obverse rim break well advanced. VG-10. A fine cent with the
usual minor handling defects. Dark brown. Very rare die state. ($8.50)
S-174. (C 34) R-3. Very Fine-25. A shorp, well struck cent, with claims to Ex Fine. However, the edges are
slightly bruised, and the attractive surface shows a very few minor defects. Lustrous dork brown. Ex Hines

S-176. (C 36) R-4. The extremely rare sub-variety without the vertical crack in the right field. About VF-30.
Obverse, dark olive brown; Reverse, even light brown. An attractive coin with a glossy, almost completely
clean surface. Any die state of this variety is underrated, as are all the cents with obverse 28 It is harder to
locate than any other R-4, and most of the R-5's. Unusually choice, and highly desirable. Ex Hines coll.
Nearly unique. ($35.00)
S-176. (C 36) R-4. Another, the obverse broken as described. Reverse; As described by Sheldon on page 214,
but also with a row of impressed denticles above ATES OF, and die sinking there and elsewhere; crock from

brown. Sheldon states that this rarity is "hard to find in Fine condition." This choice example was owned
by H. Hines, then H.K.D.; both shared the good doctor's sentiments. V. Rare in any condition, and highly
desirable. ( $40.00 i
S- 178. (C 38) R-8. Vertical crock in the right obverse field, os on the foregoing, the rarest Reverse of 1796
This piece is strictly Fine for the coin. Mr. Downing graded it as F- 1 5, but to be ultra conservative, we shall
call it F-12. Dark brown, with only one or two unimportant edge defects. This is one of the four seen by Dr
Sheldon, and is probably the second or third finest extant. We believe that just five are now known, the last
discovered by C. Douglas Smith (Con. VG-8, but badly pitted) . This piece is a most enviable specimen, from
the Hines coll. Excessively rare. Plate. ($100.00

1846 Sheldon-188. (Clapp 1; D- 137) R-4. The Overdate, 1799/98. This is the fourth known specimen of the
famous sub-variety with a heavy triple die break upon the obverse. It is described on page 235 of the
Sheldon book, and originated in the Garrabrant collection. Walter W. Garrabrant obtained it from Henry
Hrnes. While only in Condition 1, this is a well known and excessively rare cent. ($25.00)
The Third Finest Perfect Date 1799 Cent
1847 S- 1 89. (C 2; D-138) R-3. The Perfect Date 1799. The reverse shows traces of the two rim breaks
commonly found upon this variety: one over the space between F of OF and A in AMERICA;
the other, over the left side of M in AMERICA. Strictly Very Fine, conservatively graded at
VF-30 to VF-35. Almost perfectly centered and evenly struck. The bottom of the date, including
the two 9's, is clearly visible, as are the tops of the letters in LIBERTY. Two minute nicks on the
hair, behind the ear, are the hallmark of this coin. The obverse is a very dark brown, and the
reverse a similar color, lightly mottled with black. This identical piece is the second S- 1 89,
illustrated on Plate No. 33 of Dr. Sheldon's text. Careful examination of Homer Downing's
records indicates this to be the third finest known specimen of the perfect date. It was owned
by Henry Hines for a good many years, and was retained by him when he obtained his famous
AU-50 coin from Wayte Raymond, for $2,500.00. Both Mr. Hines and Homer Downing placed
a low value on this piece of $750.00, but H.K.D. is known to have refused $1,000.00 for it,
shortly before his death. It is definitely superior to the famous "Abbey" specimen, also VF-30,
which was listed in the Pearl catalog as "Extremely Fine" at $900.00, and is now owned by a
New York collector. We consider the piece at hand a remarkable example, and well worth a good
price. With the values of famous cents constantly advancing, any amount paid for a coin of this
caliber is a good investment. Plate. ($1,000.00)

Overdates
1848 Sheldon-190. (Clapp-Newcomb 1; D-140) R-5. First Overdate, 1800/1798. VF-20. Dark brown. A sharply
struck cent with incusations of the wreath, under the chin, not mentioned by Sheldon. Pleasing and attractive,
in spite of a very few minute nicks, mainly noticeable upon the reverse. Rare in any condition, and
particularly so in the top grades. Ex Proskey and Hines. ($50.00)
1849 S- 191. (CN 2; D-139) R-2. Overdate as last, 1800/1798. The Reverse die badly injured. VF-25. The obverse
has claims to VF-30, but has two or three really light nicks, mostly on the edge. Unusually sharp, and a
lustrous, light brown color. Ex Hines coll. Another coin for the major variety collector. ($35.00)
1850 S-192. (CN 3; D- 141) R-4. Second Overdate, "1800/1799." F-15. This cent almost ranks with the two
foregoing lots in sharpness, but shows signs of handling. The tops of RTY, on the obverse, are weak as
always. Mostly dark brown. Dr. Sheldon, on page 241, says of this variety — "Very rare in Fine condition."
Ex Hines coll. We know of only four specimens equal to, or better than this one. ($30.00)

is a slight roughness on the right side of the obverse. Black. Neither of the two mentioned characteristics
are noticeable, without close observation. This piece is comparable to the Clapp specimen. From our sale

rarest of the varieties known to Doughty, and the third rarest collectible among the 1 800's. It come from
the David O. Hughes collection, around five or six years ago, and is far superior to the (G-5, but tooled)
Clapp example, being the fifth or sixth finest extant. In great demand, and very rarely offered Nine
specimens are now known. < $65.00)

with an attractive, glossy surface. Prohibitively rare in decent preservation, this being about as choice a
specimen as can be found. Ex Hines coll. ($22.50)

paratively clean surface. Ex Hines coll. ($15.00)
1859 S-201. (CN 14) R-7. Obverse as the two preceding; Stemless Leaves Variety. Strictly G-5. The obverse evenly
and cleanly worn; the reverse is better than Good, but unevenly struck, probably due to a failing die. Even
considering two minute reverse edge nicks, this is an unusually clean cent. Dark brown. The second rarest
collectible of 1800, eight or nine examples now known. Ex Hines coll. Excessively rare. ($30.00)
1860 S-202. (CN 15; D-150) R-3. Obverse as the foregoing; Heavy Break Behind Curls Mint State-65 The die
breaks are unusually strong; the reverse swellings are as advanced as any that Sheldon describes; heavy
double incusations in the lower left and upper right reverse, and much other damage to the die. Proboblv
one of the last impressions struck. Magnificent iridescent olive, with considerable original mint lustre. A
superb "Gem'' for this variety, of which a top grade example is almost impossible to locate. This "Finest
known" was lot #868 in the R. B. Winsor sale, 1895, and was obtained from Oscar J. Pearl. Worth a good
price. Plate. ($125.00)

Sheldon-213. (Newcomb 1; D- 161) R-3. Four Wavy Cracks before Face. VF-30. Medium brown. A choice
and sharp coin, with a few imperceptible nicks in the upper reverse field. This variety is genuinely scarce in
choice condition, and is sought after because of the obverse breaks. ($45.00)
The varieties with Reverse "A" and its minor variations, Reverses "B" and "E", are of considerable interest. A pointed first
1, in the date (1800 Punch), on all of these, and the last blunt 1, establishes that the dies were really made in (or for) 1800,
with the last digit omitted. However, they were never used in that year. The three reverses, A, B, and E, were all from the
same old hub used for many of the 1798-9 reverses, and all of 1800.
S-213. (N 1; D- 161) R-3. Another, but with more advanced breaks than the last. VF-20. Die sinking, not
wear, over RTY of LIBERTY. Medium brown, with a slight rim bruise at the top of the reverse. Ex Hines coll.
Uncommonly scarce. ($30.00)
S-213. (N 1; D-161 ) R-3. Still another, with advanced reverse breaks, similar to those found on some examples
of S-214, and early S-215. Strictly VF-25, almost VF-30. Dark brown. A sharp, impressive coin, with a slight
planchet defect on the reverse rim. Unusually choice and quite rare. Ex Hines coll. ($40.00)
S-214. (N 2) R-6. Strictly VF-25. Not boldly struck up on the right obverse, and corresponding side of the
reverse. A lustrous, medium brown surface, with a very few and slight handling defects in the right obverse
field. This splendid piece was lot #266 in the celebrated Dr. French collection, and was purchased by Mr.
Hines for $50.00, many years ago. Uncommonly rare and desirable. Not particularly hard to locate well
worn, but one of the great rarities in Very Fine. Plate. ($70.00)
S-214. (N 2) R-6. Another. Fine- 15, but with some claims to V. Fine. A choice cent, with a pleasing and
glossy, olive brown surface. One or two minute defects in the obverse field, do not mar the splendid appear-
ance of this piece. From David Proskey via Henry Hines. ($50.00)
S-214. (N 2) R-6. Still another. Fine- 15, and almost equal to the last. The upper right part of the reverse
is rather weak, not from wear, but as a result of die injury. Attractive light brown. Obtained from Oscar J.
Pearl. Rare, like the two preceding. ($45.00)
S-215. (N 3) R-6. Perfect obverse die; Slightly broken reverse die. Apparently struck before most of the
S-213's, a die state unknown to Newcomb, and not mentioned by W.H.S. Undoubtedly, an excessively rare
sub-variety. Strictly VG-10. Almost Fine, but with a few slight defects. Dark brown. This is an unquestioned
R-6, and is actually nearer R-7, or over three times as rare as S-214. Extremely rare. ($35.00)
S-215. (N 3) R-6. Another. Broken obverse and reverse dies. The obverse is heavily injured, and all die cracks
are in an advanced stage, undoubtedly accounting for the rarity of this variety. Fine- 15. A sharp, attractive
cent, with claims to V. Fine. Unfortunately, the obverse surface is slightly roughened. Dark brown. Like the
preceding, extremely rare. ($45.00)
S-215. (N 3) R-6. Still another, the die stage similar to the last. VG-8. An evenly worn and acceptable coin.
This and the two foregoing, are among the best specimens in collector's hands. It is highly unusual to find
three of the eight or ten known, in one offering. S-215 is a variety to watch. ($25.00)
S-216. (N 8; D-160) R-2. The Blunt First 1. An unusual piece, as it was struck before the obverse die was
injured. The bust and drapery strong; OF is as clear as the rest of the reverse legend. Slightly better than
Fine- 12, but with a few slight signs of handling. Medium brown color. Ex Proskey and Hines. We do not
recall another piece similar to this. ($17.50)
S-218. (N 4) R-7. The "Rare" Three Errors Variety. This is the odd obverse with LIBERTY much too far to
the right. Strictly VG-8, and almost VG-10. Medium brown color, with an odd obverse planchet defect.
This is one of the two known examples with swelling between the rim and lower curl, on the obverse. It is
the fifth or sixth finest of the eight pieces now known, and is superior to the Dr. French example, which
Mr. Downing owned and sold. Ex Hines coll. ($65.00)
S-219. (N 6; D-156) R-3. First 1 Pointed; Three Errors Reverse. Die failure over ERTY, but the reverse lacks
the break through first 0 of fraction and IIN (UNITED). An exceptionally rare die state. Strictly VF-20,
but with a granular defect, resembling a planchet imperfection, hardly visible upon each side. A splendid
cent, in the greatest demand. Ex Hines coll. ($45.00)
S-219. (N 6; D-156) R-3. Another famous Three Errors. Very advanced obverse die failure, obliterating
much of BERTY. The reverse die is fully broken. F-12. An unusually clean and attractive specimen, with one
or two unimportant defects, including an odd planchet flaw on Liberty's head and to the left. A desirable
cent, retailing for $35.00 as a "Type" coin. ($30.00)
S-NC 2. (N 13) R-8. Heavy Reverse Rim Break at TES OF. The obverse die is sinking at ERTY, as on the very
last of the S-219's. Very Good-7. An evenly worn cent, with only slight indications of mishandling. This is
one of the two known to Sheldon, and is the second coin illustrated on Newcomb's supplementary plate.
According to the Doctor's condition census of 7-4, it is the finest known example. Ex Hines coll. Of the most
excessive rarity. Plate. ($125.00)
S-220. ( N7; D-157) R-4. First 1 Pointed; Fraction 1/000. Strictly VF-25, but with a few minute imperfec-
tions, and several light reverse edge bruises. Glossy light brown, with faint traces of the original mint color.
Dr. Sheldon states this is the "rarest of the error reverses, and excessively rare in first-rate condition.
Ex Hines coll. Plate. ($55.00)
S-220. (N 7; D-157) R-4. Another, but a very late stage of the dies, much more advanced than the preceding.
The rim break under the date is very heavy, so that much of the date is gone, as are the tops of LIBERTY
Fine- 12, or even better, but ever so slightly mishandled. A choice light brown example of this rarity. ($27.50)
S-221. (N 9; D-159) R-3. The Corrected Fraction, 1/100 over 1/000. Fine-12, but slightly imperfect. Parts
of the reverse show traces of rust. Mostly a dark steel color, lightly mottled with russet. A highly prize
variety from the Hines coll. ^ . *.?.
S-222. (N 10; D-162) R-l. Blunt l's. Very late die state, the small obverse rim break over IB clearly visible.
Really EF-40, but struck flat on the face, and at the end of the bust. The reverse is also weak at the top
of the wreath and OF. A well centered and choice cent, with considerable original color, particularly upon
the reverse. A few light marks on Liberty, do not mar the beauty of this piece. Plate. * ?*
S-222. (N 10; D-162) R-l. Another, from the perfect obverse die. VF-20. Mostly a medium brown, with two
or three minute nicks. Ex Hines coll. *

Sheldon-225. (Newcomb 1; D- 172) R-4 Perfect obverse and broken reverse Uncirculated MS-60. Well
struck and centered, with magnificent, iridescent coloring. Generally, this variety is found with a rough,
mottled surface, but this specimen is a beautiful exception to the rules. Probably the second or third finest
known. Plate. '$65.00
S-225. (N 1; D- 172) R-4. Another, the obverse rim broken below the date. The reverse die is heavily broken
through ES OF, joining the rims; the resulting die sinking is undoubtedly the reason for the scarcity of this
variety. Better than F-12, but with a few minute signs of mishandling. Steel color. This is the identical
example mentioned by Dr. Sheldon on page 268, and is the only one reported in this stote. Ex Hines coll.

S-NC 1. (N 3) R-8. Crack from B across Hair ond Ear About F-12, but with one or two very slight edge
bruises. H.K.D. colled this clean and attractive cent VG-10, which seems somewhat conservative. Dark olive
ond brown. This is the finest example known, and for superior to the Newcomb plote specimen. It originally
came from the Proskey ond Hines collections, ond the obverse is illustrated on Sheldon's plate. Excessively
rare, and well worth a good price. Plate. ($125.00)
This variety is no longer really "Non-Collectible," as several additional specimens, oil in low grode condition, have turned
up. However, it is still an extreme rarity, and will undoubtedly have a basal value of over SI 0.00. The piece described above
is worth a substantial premium, as the absolute finest known.
S-227. (N 4; D-174) R-2. The Cobweb Variety. Very Fine-30. A beautiful cent, nicely centered and struck
The surface is a pleasing light golden brown, touched with black. A very few insignificant defects do not mar
the beauty of this piece. <$17.50<
S-228. (N 6; D-164) R-2. Fraction 1/000. Extremely Fine-40 A sharp and desirable impression, with a slight
obverse planchet defect, and two or three pin point nicks upon the reverse. Lustrous light and dark brown,
nicely mottled. A top grade specimen of this popular "type" coin. <$35.00>
S-229. (N 5) R-5. Low Leaning 8. Very Fine-30, except for two minute nicks upon the bust, and two im-
perceptible scratches in front of the face. Die cracks as described. Dark brown. This rare voriety was lot

known at $40.00. ( $42.50 )
S-230. (N 8; D- 171) R-2. Reverse die almost perfect. EF-40. This piece has strong claims to EF-45, or even
AU-50. However, the face and forecurl are struck somewhat flat. Beautiful golden brown surface, with
considerable original color. A splendid cent. Plote. I $25.00)
S-230. (N 8; D- 171) R-2. Another, the reverse die decidedly crocked. Better than VF-20, but with a rim nick

S-235. (N 13; D-178) R-4. Injured at RTY. Perfect obverse die. EF-40. A sharp, steel colored cent, with a few
very minute pin point nicks on the obverse. This glossy beauty is one of the best specimens of a really rare
coin. Ex Hines coll. ($40.00)
S-235. (N 13; D-178 1 R-4. Another, the obverse die broken over RTY. VG-8. A Fine cent, but lightly
scratched on the obverse, and otherwise slightly mishandled. Dark brown. ($7.50)
S-235. (N 13; D-178) R-4. Still another. The die state with crack from rim through neck to drapery; inter-
mediate between Newcomb's 9 d -H c and 9 C -H d , both extreme rarities. Strictly F-15. Dark olive, almost black.
A choice and desirable specimen, formerly in the Hines coll. ($17.50)
S-236. (N 14; D- 1 75) R-2. Extremely Fine-40. Perfectly centered and struck, with a glossy, medium brown
surface. An exciting coin from the Hines coll. Unusually choice. ($25.00)
S-237. (N 15; D-170) R-2. The Big Berries Variety. Reverse very similar to the 1798-1800 dies. Strictly
EF-40. Not rare as a variety, but this is the finest one of only three examples with perfect dies (none known
to Newcomb, and only one known to Sheldon at time of publication) . Ex Proskey and Hines. A splendid cent,
of considerable interest and value. Plate. ($32.50)
S-237. (N 15; D-170) R-2. Another, with cracked dies as usual. Listed as AU-50, this cent is in Mint state,
with a few light edge bruises, a nick or two, and other minor damage. The surface is a beautiful light brown,
and both sides show considerable mint lustre. A nice "Penny" from our sale of May, 1950. ($30.00)
S-237. (N 15; D-170) R-2. Still another, with vertical crack from final S (In STATES) to right ribbon, and
other minor cracks. VF-30. Dark olive. Another nice piece. Ex Hines coll. ($17.50)
S-238. (N 16) R-6. The Widest Date; Four Berries on Right Branch. Fine-12. The reverse is almost V. Fine,
but weakly struck at left. Two minute nicks upon the obverse do not affect the appearance of this underrated
cent. Dark brown, with touches of russet. This variety is next to the S-NC 1 in rarity, and is almost never
seen choice. All of those that have turned up are in low condition; thus, this is quite a respectable coin.
($30.00)
S-239. (N 17; D-177) R-3. Perfect dies. This is the variety that is usually found with a prominent obverse
crack from the rim through R and forelock to the border opposite the mouth. Without that, and other breaks,
as here, this die is rarely seen. Very Fine-20. A clean, well centered, light olive brown cent. Ex Hines coll.
($17.50)
S-239. (N 17; D-177) R-3. Another. Single faint line of crack as described above. EF-40. A splendid, olive

S-240. (N 18; D-176) R-5. Diagonal Crack, Lower Right Field. Strictly Fine- 15. Dark steel with traces of
russet. Slight roughening at lower left obverse. This is the rarest of the 1802's that were known to Doughty,
and is extremely rare in any condition upwards of F-12. It may also be R-6. ($25.00)
S-241. (N 19; D-166) R-2. Stemless Wreath; Double Fraction Bar. The "Dropped S Variety." Perfect reverse
rim. EF-40. Almost EF-45, or AU-50, but with a really slight obverse edge bruise. Lustrous and desirable

Sheldon-243. (Newcomb 1; D-180) R-3. Stemless Wreath; Double Fraction Bar. Perfect obverse. About VF-

detract from the glossy beauty of this coin. Dark olive. Ex Hines coll. In great demand. ($17.50'
S-243. (N 1; D-180) R-3. Another; slightly broken obverse die. About Uncirculated-50. A choice cent, not
fully struck up, but with considerable original mint color. A few minor defects, including slight impairment
of the reverse edge, certainly do not compromise the beauty of this piece. It is at least the fourth, and
possibly the third best example known. Ex Hines coll. Plate. ($50.00'
S-243. (N 1; D-180) R-3. A third Stemless Wreath. Very heavily broken obverse die. VG-10. A Fine to V.
Fine cent, but with a lightly pitted and artificial surface. Some vandal has also slightly scratched the obverse.
This, and the two preceding, have the "Dropped S" reverse found upon S-241 above. Ex Hines coll. ($10.00)
S-244. (N 2) R-4. Wide Curved Date; 3 in Drapery. VF-30. This cent could be called Ex. Fine, but it shows
slight signs of mishandling, mainly apparent in a few light reverse scratches. Glossy dark brown. Newcomb
calls this variety very rare, and this is one of the finest specimens extant. ($40.00)
S-245. (N 3; D-189) R-3. The Unicorn Variety. Reverse cracked through ERICA of AMERICA. Almost VF-20.
Another sharp, glossy and attractive cent, showing a very few unimportant handling defects. Dark brown
color. Unusually desirable. *
S-245. (N 3; D-189) R-3. Another, the excessively rare sub-variety with a very bad reverse break at RICA^

highly desirable example of Newcomb's 3 b -C d . Worth a good price. ($15.00)

struck. Steel. A choice and very attractive cent from the Hines coll. ($12.50)

reverse edge bruise. Dark brown. Obtained from our sale of May, 1950. ($10.00
S-247. (N 5; D-182) R-4. The Mumps Obverse; Short Fraction Bar. Perfect dies. About Uncirculated. I his
superb cent approaches Mint State, with no appreciable signs of wear, and a magnificent iridescent green
sheen. There is a slight planchet flaw, over B of LIBERTY, which extends through the p lanchet to t tl
reverse. H.K.D claimed that this example was equal to the finest known. Plate. ($60.00

1962 S-263. (N 21; D-185) R-2. The Second Divided Dote. Broken dies, including a severe rim break under the
date. Uncirculated; Mint State-60. A magnificent cent, nicely centered and struck. Dark steel. Superior to
the example illustrated on Plate 46 of the Sheldon book, and believed to be the second finest extant. Ex F. G
Simpson (S. H. Chapman, 1924) and G. H. Hall (1945) collections. Worth a good price. Plate. ($42.50)
1963 S-264. (N 23) R-6. The renowned Large Date; Small Fraction. Only Good-4. Well worn, with a nick or two
at 1 8 of the date, together with one or two other minor defects. Uncommonly rare, and in the greatest
demand. ($25.00)
1964 S-265. (N 22; D-197) R-4. The equally famous Large Date; Large Fraction. Abt. Very Fine-20. Steel color,
with a pin point defect on the neck, plus one or two other microscopic imperfections. A choice and highly
desirable specimen of this rarity, that catalogs at $75.00 in only Fine. Equal pieces have sold for well over
$ 100 . 00 . ($ 100 . 00 )
1804
1965 Sheldon 266. (D-198) R-3. The variety with perfect obverse and reverse dies. Very Fine-20. An unusually
sharp example of this rare date. Steel color. A clean and desirable cent, in spite of the slightest tendency
towards roughness, and a few diminutive surface defects. This piece appeared as lot #576, in the W. B.
Wetmore collection, catalogued and sold by S. H. O H. Chapman, 1906. Uncommonly rare, and in the
greatest demand. Plate. ($175.00)
1966 1804. Restrike. Obv. S-261 (1803), badly rusted and broken, reengraved to 1804. Rev. An 1820 die rusted
badly, reground. Copper. Uncirculated. MS-65. Almost fully red. Made by Mickley and Cogan, circa
1860-68. ($20.00)
1805
1967 S-267. (Clapp 1; D-199) R-l. The Common Blunt 1. Faint reverse die crack over AM of AMERICA. Uncircu-
lated. MS-60. Lustrous light brown, attractively mottled with steel. A superb cent, with only the most imper-
ceptible flaws. A common variety of a rather scarce date. Ex Proskey and Hines. Plate. ($55.00)
1968 S-267. (C 1; D-199) R-l. Another, the dies perfect. Abt. EF-40. A nice cent, but with a few minor defects,
including a minute nick in front of the eye. Glossy dark brown. The recut 5, in date, is quite discernible and
clear on this specimen. ($30.00)
1969 S-268. (C 2; D-200) R-6. The Rare Blunt 1. Fine to V. Fine. Actually VF-20, but with one or two old, and
unimportant obverse imperfections. Brown and steel. A well struck, and well centered example of this rarity.
Sheldon only knew of a dozen specimens. Ex Proskey and Hines. A great prize in any but worn condition.
($37.50)
1970 S-269. (C 3; D-201 ) R-l. The Pointed 1. About Uncirculated; AU-50. A highly attractive cent, with a rich
olive color, and traces of mint luster. A few minor defects do not impair the good looks of this top grade
piece. Ex Proskey and Hines. Scarcer than S-267. ($42.50)
1 806
1971 S-270. (D-202) R-2. Very Fine-30. Two microscopic reverse rim bruises. An unusually desirable, dark steel
example of this very scarce date. In great demand. ($35.00)

1972 S-271. (C 4; D-205) R-2. The Comet Variety. VF-20. Obverse steel; Reverse dark brown. Far above average.
($25.00)
1973 S-272. (C 2) R-6. The Famous Small 1807/6 Overdate. Very Fine-20. A sharp example of this rarity, showing
a few unimportant signs of handling, including one or two light obverse nicks in front of the face. Dark
steel. W.H.S. says that "most" of the fifteen or sixteen known to him are in low grade condition. This is,
therefore, one of the very few that reach V.F. A "Type" coin, and in great demand. This variety is seldom
offered. V. Rare. ($80.00)
1974 S-273. (C 1; D-203) R-l. The Large 1807/6 Overdate. Very Fine-20. A comparatively clean and desirable
impression from this popular die. Dark olive, turning to steel. ($17.50)
1975 S-274. (C 3; D-204) R-3. Perfect Date; Small Fraction. EF-40. The scarce sub-variety with the reverse die
badly sunken, heavy swell at STA of STATES, and OF obliterated. A nice cent with an attractive light
reddish brown surface. Even the commoner perfect examples of this variety are highly underrated. S-274
should be R-4, with a basal value of $1.75 or $2.00, as choice specimens are very seldom offered, and
appear to be almost as rare as the following variety. From the collection of Virgil Brand. ($60.00)
1976 S-275. (C 5; D-206) R-6. Perfect Date; Large Fraction. EF-40. A sharply struck, unusually clean example of
this rarity. Dark brown. Dr. Sheldon stated that he saw, up to the time of publication, only half a dozen or so
pieces in condition better than Fine. Homer Downing obtained this specimen from the Brand cohesion, and
often remarked that it was one of the finest known.
1977 S-276. (C 6; D-207) R-l. The Second (and commoner) Perfect Date; Large Fraction. VF-30. Dark olive
brown. A choice and desirable "Penny." Ex Hines coll. , TV ,
1978 S-276. (C 6; D-207) R-l. Another, the rare sub-variety with a defective 1 in date. Fine- 12. Steel. Nicely
struck, but with a minute reverse rim nick. This was lot #798 in the John K. Borcky sale, held T. L.
Elder in 1935; later, it was in the Hines coll. ($10.00)

1979 S-277. (C 1; D-208) R-2. The first year of the Turban Head. This is the so-called "Twelve Star" variety
where the lowest star at left is unusually weak. Very Fine-20. A sharp example of this popular coin.

struck, with the stars on the right connected to the rim, figures of the dote distorted; ribbon ends distorted,
a pit or indentation just in front of the throot. Almost AU-50. Light chocolate brown ond steel. The finest
known example of a piece which Clapp could only find "quite worn." One well known collector told us
that he only located three or four impressions from the injured die, loll under VG I, in well over three
hundred S-279's examined. This cent was purchased at the 1948 A N A. Convention sole Plate. $60.00

cent has never seen circulation, and is actually in Mint State. However, the surface shows almost invisible
indications, or traces, of the delicate corrosion mentioned by Dr. Sheldon. Lustrous medium brown lightly
mottled with steel. A splendid piece, rare so fine. From the Hines coll. Plate. < $42.50'

able defects. Unusually choice From H. Hines, purchased at an Elder sale in 1913. < S3 5.00 >

1810. Restrike. Obv. S-285. Rev. Identical to that of the 1804 Restrike. Struck in White Metal or Tin The
obverse was apparently struck from a badly rusted die, which was reground and reengraved enough to
obliterate most traces of the identifying die cracks. Uncirculated. This item is believed to be an unofficial
U.S. Mint product, like its earlier (18041 counterpart, and was probably struck in 1858. It first appeared
in the Lyman Wilder collection (Haseltine), May, 1879, and is the finer of the two known specimens. Not
from the Downing collection, but the former property of Ff. D. Gibbs. Excessively rare. Plate. ($100,001
Mr. Downing wos intensely interested in the 1810 Restrike ond with the cataloger, carefully studied the only other known
specimen, the property of o New York dealer. In 1943, one of the publishers of the "Numismatic Review" illustrated and
described his piece, in Vol. I, No. 2, of that magazine. At that time, the claim was made that the coin wos an "Unpublished
Trial Piece," presumably contemporary. The restrike is neither "Unpublished" nor a "Trial Piece," as the description indicates
1811
S-286. (C 1; D-215) R-2. The Overdate, 1811/10. Very Fine-20 A sharp and cleon example of this un-
common and popular cent. As rare as the renowned 1809. Ex Hines coll. ($40.00)
S-287. (C 2; D-21 6) R-2. The Perfect Date. Uncirculated; MS-60, or MS-65. Iridescent golden brown The
only Mint State specimen, of the four known, with the stars fully struck up at left. Homer Downing's "Master
List clearly calls this the finest known example. He considered it superior to the impression in the govern-
ment collection, and definitely a better coin than the Newcomb piece which realized $200.00 in 1945. His
photographic records clearly substantiate H.K.D.'s arguments for the coin. Plate. ($200.00'

difficult coin to find in first-rate condition. Ex Hines coll. ($17.50)

2000 S-294. (C 1; D-224) R-l. The Crosslet 4. AU-50. This choice cent is really Uncirculated, but has a very

and desirable, and a coin that should be seen. Ex Proskey and Hines. ($13.50)
2001 S-295. (C 2; D-225) R-l. The Plain 4. AU-50. An Uncirculated cent, but part of the reverse surface appears
roughened. Glossy dark brown, the obverse almost "Proof like." Far above average. Ex Hines coll. ($13.50)
2002 S-295. (C 2; D-225) R-l. Another, the "bearded variety." Mint State-60. A splendid cent, its golden sur-
face lightly toned with lavender. Unusually choice, and highly interesting. Also from the Hines coll.
($16.00)
2003 S-295. (C 2; D-225) R-l. Still another. The variety with a double profile. In fact, the obverse of this cent
is entirely double struck. Better than VF-30. Light and dark brown. This piece was lot #841 of the John
K. Borcky collection, 1935; later, in the Hines coll. ($10.00)
1815
It is common knowledge that cents were not struck bearing this date. However, during the latter part of the last century, this in-
formation was disputed and an "Almost Uncirculated" specimen of the 1815 Cent made the rounds. This coin rapidly became
famous, and many references to it can be found in early catalogs, from 1863 on. Still later, another well made alteration appeared,
and both masterpieces became legendary in numismatic circles. Homer Downing highly prized each of these historical pieces, and they
ore offered herewith for what they are.
2004 1815. Alteration. Made from 1813; S-293. Almost AU-50. Medium brown. A most famous piece, obtained
from Henry Hines, and illustrated upon Plate XI, in Howard R. Newcomb's famous work on lote date cents.
Plate.
2005 1815. Alteration. Another, made from 1813; S-292. Not as fine as the preceding. VF-30. Obtained from
John Zug. Dickeson, as early as 1859, ascribed the scarcity of choice 1813's to the "amateurs," who had
taken many of them to be altered, often crudely, to 1815.

THE SPECIALIST'S SESSION
Lots 2140 to 2986
TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 19, 1952
PROMPTLY AT 1:30 P.M.
The H. K. Downing Collection of U. S. Large Cents (Continued)
THE LATE DATE CENTS, 1816-1 857
The Large Cents struck from 1816 to the lost year of the series, 1857, ore popularly known as the "Late Date"
Coppers. In 1881 (second edition 1883), Frank Andrews of Vineland, N. J., published o small monograph entitled
THE UNITED STATES COPPER CENTS, 1816-1857. This remarkably thorough work listed some 396 varieties,
of which 5 ore definitely unknown. It was loter reprinted, upon several occasions, with "Additions." It remained
the accepted standard until 1944, when Howard R. Newcomb published his mammoth text under the same title.
Newcomb's efforts deserve high praise and recognition, yet due credit must remain with Andrews. The former added
only 39 varieties from 1817 to 1839, and 168 from 1840 to 1857. The total of 603 varieties include many duplications,
particularly after 1840, where broken die states, slight retouchings, or even irregular strikings have been numbered
and included. Newcomb neglected to provide a precise or quantitative scale of rarity listings, an oversight deplored
by many collectors
Homer Downing did not really collect late date cents. He acquired many of them, but only retained those he liked
for some specific reason. He had a high regard for "Proof" Cents, knowing full well of their excessive rarity ond high
desirability. The Proofs offered are mainly from the Henry Hines collection, and are authentic in every respect.
In the course of studying the "Old Red Cents," H.K.D. formulated a listing of rarity and basal values for the
late dates. This was based upon the system employed by Dr. Sheldon. Awore of the interest in such information, we
are including it, together with additions and corrections. However, in several instances, pieces in top condition — i.e.
Mint State, bring in excess of their book value. This is due to a heavy demand for types and dates, out of proportion
to the actual rarity of the coins involved. On the other hand, many rare die varieties sell for less than their stipulated
value, due to a limited demand, the result of a serious lack of factual information. Increased interest in die varieties
will eventually tend to balance the situation, as it has to a great extent with the series, 1793-1814.
Proof Cents cannot be measured by any formula. Too few appear, and many are just about "Non-Collectible."
Like all rarities, they are worth whatever the serious collector wishes to pay for them.
Information regarding the dates after 1839 is not given in table form, but we offer o few interesting notes
at the end of the listing.

considerably more than its book value as a "Type." Plate. ($25.00)

NA-l. 1823 over 22. About Uncirculated-50. Dork brown and steel. A remarkable cent, with a very few
microscopic obverse defects, visible only under a glass. Only the high spots show slight signs of cabinet
friction. Unusually choice and highly desirable. In conditions approximating Mint State, this coin brings far
over book value. Plate. ($65.00)

corresponding part of the reverse. The obverse shows a very few unimportant imperfections, or the slightest
evidence of contact with other coins. Lustrous golden and dark brown, displaying considerable evidence of
original mint color. This variety also brings over book value, when in top condition. The Newcomb specimen
was Uncirculated, with some original red, and realized $155.00. Plate. ($50.00)

The Excessively Rare Small Date Cent of 1 848
2207 Obverse. The figures in the date are much smaller than on any of the regulor issues The numerol
1 has o flat top; 84 almost touch each other; 4 without crossbar at end of horizontal; point
of curl under bust does not turn down towards 8; shape of head differs from all Liberty heads;
the nose is straight and heavy; stars smaller, the eighth, tenth and twelfth being badly formed.
Reverse. All letters are differently formed, and are widely spaced. The letters in ONE CENT
are toller, and not uniformly placed; NT below CE; right base of T rests upon a leaf The die
work is especially crude on the leaves at lower right of wreath, and at junction of wreath and
stem. Copper. Struck from dies. The workmanship is hardly the regulor standard of the US
Mint. This variety has been called the "Late Date Jefferson Head." Fine. Struck slightly off
center, having an uneven border. Attractive medium brown surface, showing only slight signs
of handling. The second finest of the four known examples. Illustrated on Plote XI of New-
comb's famous work. One of the most interesting cents in the entire series, as no collection can
really be considered complete without this piece. Of the greatest rarity, and well worth o good
price. Plate. Mr. Downing was very proud of his specimen, and valued it at — ($250,001
The above described example was the "Discovery" piece. It supposedly first appeared in the J. N. T. Levick sale of
May 29, 1865. Six years later, it was in the Edward Cogan sale of Nov. 13, 1871. At that time, it was believed pur-
chased directly by Lorin G. Parmelee, in whose collection it was sold as lot 711196, and illustrated ot the bottom of
Plate 10. Loter, it reappeared as lot #251 in the Peter Mougey collection, sold by T. L. Elder, September, 1910. In that
catalog, it can be found illustrated on Plate XIX. Elder withdrew it from the sole, and the cent finally went into the
collection of David Proskey. Henry C. Hines purchased it from him, and Homer Downing obtoined it from Hines. The
second known specimen appeared in the Spring of 1939. It was discovered by B. Max Mehl in the W. B. Hale collection,
and is presumably still owned by Mr. Mehl. Authorities consider it the finest extant. The third piece was discovered a
tew months later, and for forty years had laid in the cobinet of Dr. W. E. Chapman. Through the efforts of J. G.
MacAllister, it found its way into the George H. Clapp collection, and is now in the A.N.S. The fourth specimen wos
unearthed in 1940, ond went into the Newcomb collection. It wos sold in 1945, ond is now the property of a famous
Philadelphia numismatist.

This group deserves particular attention. Not for many years has such outstanding quality been offered in the American market.
Each item has been carefully and conservatively described and estimated. Many of the following originated with famous European

MASSACHUSETTS SILVER COINS
1652 — TERCENTENARY — 1952
The Property of O. K. Rumbel, Mission, Texas
Willow Tree Shilling. 1652. Noe 2-B. Strictly - Fine for these crude and unevenly struck pieces. This is the
fourth specimen known to Mr. Noe from these dies, and it is the only example with a fully struck up reverse,
the date and denomination being unusually clear. As desirable an impression of a Willow Tree os we have
seen. If the 1856 Flying Eagle Cent in Proof is worth $175.00, this choice sample of Early Americana is
worth every dollar of $500.00. Excessively rare. Plate.
Willow Tree Sixpence. 1652. Noe 1. Very Good to Fine, but somewhat mishandled and holed. Excessively rare.
Lists in Good at $200.00, and Fine at $400.00. Only a few are known.
Oak Tree Shillings. 1652. Crosby la-D; Wurtzbach 8; Noe 6. Without Shrubs; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM.
Fine, but weakly struck on the right hand side of the obverse, and the corresponding part of the reverse.
There is a planchet crack and one or two other flan defects on the left edge. Excessively rare, the fourth
known specimen of this variety. Plate.
1652. Crosby 2-D; W-10; Noe 5. With Shrubs at side of tree; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM. Strictly Fine. A
clean, sharp example. Plate.
Another. Abt. Fine. Not quite the equal of the last.
Still another. The obverse is badly worn, the reverse Good. The date and denomination are sharp, and clear,
but the tree and legend are only partly discernible. This may have been used as a "Witch piece.
1652. Crosby 4-C; W-12; Noe 9. Without Shrubs; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM. Strictly Fine. An exceptionally
clean and desirable piece, the flan impaired at the right. We note a few minor defects, including a minute
punch mark at the bottom of both sides. Altogether, a nice coin, and one that should be seen.
1652. Crosby 7-B; W-17; Noe 14. The Spiney Tree; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM. Abt. Good. A worn, but
acceptable shilling, with a slight scratch to the right of the 2 in date. Worth $22.50.
1652. Crosby 9-H; W-20; Noe 1. Legend begins at upper I.; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM. Almost Very Fine.
Mostly sharp and clear, but not well centered. The planchet is slightly clipped, and the flan is imperfect in
two spots upon the reverse. A nice example of a true "Type" coin, which will be listed as such in the next
edition of the Standard Cotalog. Worth well over $50.00. Plate. . .
Oak Tree Sixpences. 1652. Crosby la-D; W-22; Noe 20. MASATHVSETS IN; NEW ENGLAND ANO. Just
about V. Fine. A well struck and evenly centered example of a real rarity. Only four pieces are known to
the A.N.S. Plate. . ,
1652. Crosby lb-D; W-23; Noe 22. Legends as on the last. V. Good to Fine, but somewhat mishandled, with
a short scratch across the tree, plus one or two other slight defects. Rare.
1652. Crosby Ic-D; W-24; Noe 21. Similar type. Good to V. Good. More or less imperfect, and like the last,
this may have been a "Witch piece." Scarce.

but upon an uneven planchet, and off center, particularly upon the obverse The finer of only two specimens
known, ond the identical coin illustrated in the January, 1952 Numismatist, p. 45. An exceedingly valuoble
and desirable item, the other example holed. Well worth $150.00. Plate.
1652. Crosby 6-C; W-33o; Noe 28. MASATHVSETS; Legend begins at lower I. Almost V. Good. Obverse won
the planchet smoll. Hardly a Rarity 6 variety.
Oak Tree Twopcnces. 1662. Crosby I -At; W-34; Noe 31. Fine. Nicely centered and evenly .truck A desirable
little coin, and well worth full list of $25.00.
Another. Fine or better, but neatly holed between E and T of MASATHVSETS.
1662. Crosby 1 -A2; W-35; Noe 29. Fine, but upon o rough ond uneven planchet. This piece has been cleaned.
Pine Tree Shillings. 1652. Crosby lb-D; W-39. The Normal Tree; MASATHVSETS IN. Extremely Fine Slightly
clipped, as usual, but o choice, lustrous example of a large size type. Plate.
Another. Struck upon a larger planchet than the preceding. Fine to V. Fine, but the flon is severely cracked
at the bottom. Still, a nice specimen. Valued at $50.00.
1652. Crosby 2a-AI; W-40. MASATHVSETS IN; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM. Fine to V Fine, but somewhat
clipped. A clean, attractive coin, but with a peculiar planchet defect at the top. Wurtzboch called this
variety Rarity 4.
1652. Crosby 5-B2; W-44. The Normal Tree; MASATHVSETS IN. Almost V. Fine. A large, sharp piece, with
one or two minor defects. Worth at least $50.00. Scarce. Plate.
1652. Crosby 12-1; W-47. Small tree with berries; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM. Abt. V. Fine. Struck upon a
broad, full planchet. Slightly clipped, and with one or two unimportant imperfections. A really nice large size
Shilling. Plate.
Another. Almost Very Fine. Not quite as sharp as the preceding, but a beautiful example. Similar pieces have
sold as high as $65.00.
Still another. Just about V. Fine. Clipped on each side, which gives this piece a rectangular look Far above
average. One of the most attractive varieties in the series.
Small size. 1652. Crosby 14-R; W-49. With double curved branches; NEW ENGLAND AN DO Fine The
planchet imperfect at bottom. Wurtzbach also called this variety R-4.
Another. Very Good. This planchet is defective, and slightly clipped at the lower left side of the obverse, as well
as on the corresponding part of the reverse. A $25.00 coin.
1652. Crosby 21-L; W-58. The Small tree; Legend begins almost opposite XII. V. Good. Weak at the top
on both sides, and slightly mishandled at the bottom edge.
Another. A Fine, and nicely centered piece. However, somebody has mistreated this coin, and careful examina-
tion reveals a few slight dents. Hardly as bad as the description sounds.
1652. Crosby 22-L; W-59. Same type as the preceding. Very Fine, but weakly struck at M upon the obverse,
and A in AN upon the reverse. Worth at least $35.00.
1652. Crosby 23-L; W-60. The Normal tree; Legend begins almost opposite XII. Good to V. Good. Bodly
clipped, and with a small punch mark or so upon both sides. Excessively rare, the fourth specimen extant.
1652. Crosby 24-N; W-62. MASATHVSETS IN; Legend begins at lower I. Fine to V. Fine. A sharp piece,
but appears to be evenly clipped all the way around. Wurtzbach called this variety excessively rare, which
is somewhat of an exaggeration. However, it is a decidedly rare type, ond will catalog at $40.00 in only
Fine. Plate.
Pine Tree Sixpences. 1652. Crosby 1 -A; W-64. Tree with berries; NEW ENGLAND ANO. Strictly Very Fine.
A sharp, attractive example. Worth $40.00 or more in this condition. Plate.
Another. Fine to V. Fine and sharp. Struck upon a warped flan. There are three short ond light scratches to
the left of the tree, but these do not materially affect the appearance of the piece. Slightly clipped, but
a good looking coin, and worthy of a home in any collection.
Pine Tree Threepence. 1652. Crosby 1 - A I ; W-68. Tree with berries; NEW ENGLAND. Strictly Fine The
planchet uneven, and somewhat clipped. A rare type, which will list at $25.00 in Good, and $40.00 Fine,

Chalmer's Threepence. 1783. Extremely Fine. Somewhat off center, as usual, with a planchet defect on the

EXCELSIOR Cent. 1787. Eagle facing left. Crosby Obv. 3; No. 22, PI. VII. Fine to Very Fine. An unusually
sharp example of this rarity which is generally found well worn. Both sides show a number of slight handling
defects, including an unnoticeable nick at the base of the eagle's neck upon the reverse. This specimen is
from the Wurtzbach, Brand colls., and was valued at $100.00, several years ago. Uncommonly rare. Plate.

struck, as almost all are, upon a defective and cracked planchet. Dark brown color. The edge shows signs of
handling, but this is a clean and acceptable specimen of a great rarity. Believed to have cost $130.00,
several years ago. Plate.
Continental Currency Dollar in Brass. 1776. CURENCY variety. Similar to the Appleton example, in that the
rings upon the reverse are beaded, and partly cut into lines. Comma under the N in AMERICAN, changed
into a period upon the commoner Pewter pieces. See Crosby, p. 305. Almost Fine. Extremely rare, far more
so than is generally known: Well worth $250.00 or more. Plate.
THE EXCESSIVELY RARE “AMERICA’’ CONFEDERATIO CENT

his back, his right foot resting on a crown. INIMICA TYRANNIS AMERICA. Rev. A cluster of
thirteen large stars within a glory of rays; the large circle of stars reverse. CONFEDERATIO,
date below. Crosby Obv. 1, Rev. A; No. 13, PI. VII. Fine to V. Fine, with slight planchet
granulation. Somewhat weakly struck in the center of the reverse, but a splendid lustrous, steel
colored specimen struck upon a wide, full flan. Only five or six impressions are known of this
crudely struck Pattern, of which this is one of the finest. It is superior to the Parmelee and
Mougey pieces; almost the equal of the G. Clopp, A.N.S. example and inferior, as all are, to
the superb coin in the collection of Eric Newman. We have never seen the Ellsworth, Garrett
specimen, now in the Johns Hopkins University collection, which may well be either the Parmelee
or Mougey examples. Excessively rare, one of the greatest and most desirable Colonial rarities.
Our photograph does not do this piece justice. Plote.
This variety is rarer than the type with "Americana" and a small circle of stars reverse; Crosby Obv. 2, Rev. B. A Very
Fine example of the latter sold for $800.00, as lot #374, in the celebrated Stickney sale, 1907. The coin offered above
was sold to W. C. Newcomer by H. Chapman. B. Max Mehl handled the Newcomer Colonials, selling the piece to Col.
E. H. R. Green. It was later purchased by B. G. Johnson, from the Green estate, and in time, sold to Jim Kelly. Kelly
sold it to R. Prann of Puerto Rico, who in turn, sold it to Allen Harper. Mr. Harper sold it back to Kelly, who then
sold it to the cataloger. This great rarity later passed into the hands of a Brooklyn collector, Mr. L. Horowitz, who, hav-
ing lately given up interest in Early Americana, disposed of the coin to a noted dealer who now consigns it to our hands
for sale.

Plate.
Washington Half Dollar in Copper. 1792. Similar to the last, but the edge ornamented with circles and squares.
Struck upon a broad, thin planchet of 34mm. Abt. V. Fine, but slightly weak in the center. The edge is un-
fortunately bruised upon both sides. Crosby considered this variety unique, in that he only knew of the
Fonrobert specimen. We only know of one other, that being the Parmelee example sold in I 890, which was
Fine and plugged, and is now part of the W. S. Appleton collection in the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Extremely rare. Plate.
Both of the last were designed and struck by Peter Getz of Lancaster, Pa., a self taught, but highly skillful mechanic ond
engraver. It is generally believed that the above represent Patterns which Getz submitted in an attempt to qualify for the
cngravership of the Mint, or to obtain a Governmental coinage contract. It is certain that they are the only coins of the period
which follow exactly the letter of the (Senate) Act which was revised into the Law of April, 1792, establishing the Mint. It is
oddly coincidental, that the edge ornamentation of the Copper piece should closely resemble the edges of the regularly issued
Dollars and Halves of 1794. Likewise, a close resemblance may be noted between the reverse design of both specimens and
the "Heraldic Eagle" type of the regular issues, struck a few years loter.
COMPLETE SET OF PROOF TWO CENT PIECES
2427 1864 to 1873. Complete set of Two Cent pieces, including both vorieties of the 1864, all in
choice Proof condition. The rare "Small Motto" is a splendid medium red brown color, and not
the dark iridescent brown generally found. All the others are almost fully brilliant, and only
two or three display any degree of toning or tarnish. There is a minute spot upon the reverse
of the 1873, but it does not materially alter the appeoronce of that rare date. Decidedly above
average, as this series has a tendency to darken ond become dull. Mounted in a small Roymond

Dr. Frank A. Limpert tells an interesting story obout the "Onepapa" vignette which appeared upon the obverse of the Five
Dollar, Silver Certificate, Series of 1899. "The Indian was photographed by the Bureau of Ethnology. He was o typical Indian;
his head-dress was three upright eagle feathers. However, when this portrait was tried on the design of the note, the feather 1 ;
projected too high to look well. A Pawnee war bonnet was procured from the Nationol Museum, but the Indian refused to
pose with it, as it belonged to o rival tribe. The bonnet was posed on an employee of the Engraving division and photo-
graphed; was cut out and placed on the photograph of 'Running Antelope' (correct name), and engraved in November, 1889.
The Indian was a member of the Uncpapo or Hunkpapa Sioux."

Both of the preceding are a part of a series of notes issued in 1812, 1813, 1814 and 1815. The Wor of 1812 and the result-
ing economic crisis forced Congress to authorize and the Administration to issue, some $80,000,000. worth of interest-bearing
treasury notes. They were retired os soon as possible after the war and are seldom, if ever, met with.

The note described above, with the exception of the surcharge, closely resembles the $50. bill regularly issued as o
One-Year Interest-Bearing note. These, like the last, were issued under an Act of Congress, March 3, 1863. Mr. Grin-
ned had a $50. One Year note in Good condition which was dated April 1, 1864. He considered it the' rarest denomina-

note of this type and design was ever issued. Plate.
This essai was evidently the proposal of the Continental Bank Note Company for the $10. National Bank note of the
first issue. The accepted design for the $10. bill was made by the American Bank Note Company who also were respon-
sible for the $1., $20., $50. and $100. notes. The regularly issued notes had entirely different vignettes, which were
about one half the size of the designs upon this essai. Apparently, the idea of the gold surcharge was also abandoned.

bringing that amount in sale after sale, while only listing for $12.50 or $15.00. Rare, and in great demand.
2853 1923 "S". Brilliant Uncirculated. Slightly toned upon the reverse. The lower part of the fasces is struck up,

UNITED STATES SILVER DOLLARS
ESSAI, PATTERN, EXPERIMENTAL, TRIAL AND RESTRIKE PIECES, 1 851-1882
The property of O. K. Rumbel, Mission, Texas
It is with considerable pleasure that we present herewith a collection that illustrates various designs and ideas which, in oppeor-
ancc and execution, are often superior to the coins approved and occepted for regular circulation. We consider this series to be of
extraordinary interest and only regret that a scientific reference is not available. It is indeed unfortunote that Adams and Wood-n s
UNITED STATES PATTERN, TRIAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PIECES is considered little more thon o confused and incomplete listing
However, it is our understanding that one, and possibly even two, works ore in the offing, both of which will break down the entire series
in a sensible manner. The rapidly increasing popularity of the Silver Dollar series, when combined with the publication of odequote
reference works, will do much to increase the demand for these mognificent coins
This offering of sixty different varieties is comparable only to the selection from the Woodin collection, sold publicly in New
York during January 1942, and the coins from the Fred E. Olsen collection, sold by B M Mehl in November 1944
The A W numbers are included for purposes of identification only. We include any pertinent Information that is available to us
The values following each lot represent U. S. Pattern coin prices based upon the 1950 list prepared by Col Jomes W. Curtis When
combined with our own records, they indicate the average price at which eoch piece was sold or offered during the years 1946-49.

This is by far the largest offering ever made of the rare patterns struck in 1876, the Centennial year. Henry Chopman, in
his famous catalog of the Stickney collection, remarked that collectors of the period (1907) were probobly unaware of the
great rarity of the Commercial dollars. His statement, "I well remember seeing $100.00 paid for one in the Centennial year,"
makes us wonder what the last lot, if available at that time, would have brought. It undoubtedly would have been a show-
piece among numismatists at the Philadelphia exposition.

Several die varieties also exist of A.W. 1562. The above piece is entirely different from the A. & W. illustration. On the

LESHER OR REFERENDUM DOLLARS
THE FINEST AND LARGEST COLLECTION EVER OFFERED IN NUMISMATIC HISTORY
The Property of O. K. Rumbel, Mission, Texas
Probably not again in fifty years will this rare opportunity afford itself to the wise and farsighted collector
The private Silver Dollars made by Joseph Lesher of Victor, Colorodo, have always been eagerly sought after, ond their
auction records attest to their popularity and dignity of price. Of between two and three thousand pieces struck,
all too many have found their way to the melting pot or to the depositories of the non-numismatists.
In the national campaigns of 1896 and 1900, Lesher was an advocate of the free coinage of Silver. His idea
of a private silver coin issue, as a commercial enterprise, seems to have stemmed from Colorado's endorsement of
free silver coinage at a ratio of sixteen to one. Apparently, he believed that the people of his state, and of other parts
of the country, wanted and would have used more metal dollars had they been supplied. The name "Referendum" was
given to the pieces, as Lesher referred his product to the people for acceptance, or rejection, os a medium of exchange
The coins themselves are all octagonal in shape, so as to avoid confusion with the official issues. They were of
popular size and value, guaranteed to be redeemed by the issuer, and clearly marked as to their quolity and price.
All were issued with a plain edge, and the composition was Silver .950 Fine, alloyed with Copper. Each bore a number,
with a very few exceptions, but it is established that a regular system of numbering was not maintained, and that the
numbers do not indicate the relation of one series to another, or have any accurate relation to the amounts issued,
either in respect to varieties or for the series as a whole. It is believed that Lesher designed the pieces himself, as one
of his die cutters later remarked that the work was performed under instructions as to detail.
The earliest issues, dated 1900, contain one ounce of "Coin Silver" and have the novel denomination of $1.25.
The dies for the very first emission were seized by the Government authorities. Mr. Lesher took the matter up with
Senator Teller, and the local U.S. District Attorney, finally having his arguments brought to Washington. The
Secretary of the Treasury was cool to the idea, but ogreed, that on condition of certain changes in the inscriptions,
there would be no further official interference. This however, did not fully prove to be the case, and Lesher had his
scheme both patented and copyrighted. He had a mistaken idea that this maneuver licensed his effort, ond would
eliminate continuing Government interest.
Lesher began with the idea that he would issue and redeem his own coinage. As this proved impractical, he made
an arrangement with A. B. Bumstead, a local merchant, who agreed to redeem the Referendum Dollars in merchandise
or money. Bumstead's name was cut into the die of the second issue, and his deal with Lesher worked out quite well.
It is believed that one thousand pieces were made for the use of the Victor Grocer, and though dated 1900, they were
manufactured and used as late as any of the series.
Late in 1900, Lesher toyed with the proposal to have banks handle his product. A Pattern piece was designed
and struck, upon which a bank's name could be punched. In proposing the suggestion that his coins could be redeemed
"At Any Bank," he was really inviting further trouble with Uncle Sam. As this occurred at a time when Bumstead was
doing quite well, the idea was dropped.
In 1901, the situation was reviewed by the Victor Coiner, and he commenced on entirely new issue. The weight,
size and price of his wares were reduced. His coins were made the weight of the Standard Dollar, and they had the
price (or value) of $1.00. They employed a suggestion conceived with the "Bank" type of having a blank field, upon
the obverse, for business imprint. The imprints were to be punched in after the coins were struck. Mr. Lesher had
a large quantity made, and held them for stock. From time to time, he dipped into this inventory, and sold various
quantities to different merchants and firms. The price averaged .80 or .85 each. They were either stamped to order,
or the issuer placed his own name upon them. It was intended that they would circulate on the basis of the Bumstead
plan. Lesher, when interviewed in 1914, could not recollect what disposition he hod made of his remaining supply
of blank or "Stock" pieces. It is known that Boyd Park, a Denver Jeweler, had an interest in the remainder, and it is
supposed that he may have reduced them to bullion.
A limited number of business people cooperated with Joseph Lesher. Most of them only issued a few pieces, and
others merely played with them, imprinting or engraving only samples. The Referendums were accepted as money
in Cripple Creek, Colorodo City, Colorado Springs, Victor, and most likely, even in Denver. They olso had limited
circulation in Pueblo, but in some places their only use was as trade premiums, or as items for sale os novelties
Lesher gave up the idea after losing interest, and after reaching the conclusion his operations could not be
a financial success. His coins circulated, as many are found badly worn, but few ever returned for redemption.
A few years after the private coining activity ceased, Victor, and the surrounding territory, was carefully combed
by many prominent numismatists. Messrs. C. W. Cowell, H. O. Mann, Judson Brenner, C. E. Briggs, and others made
a special effort to locate specimens. The Brenner and Briggs collections became the most complete but the 'ate
Farran Zerbe brought together fourteen different types, after purchasing examples from both. The Zerbe collection is
now in the American Numismatic Society, and is forever off the market.
In 1917, Mr. Zerbe published a most complete and authoritative article concerning the Le-Jier cnnaao
("PRIVATE SILVER COINS ISSUED IN THE U.S., THE LESHER OR REFERENDUM PIECES ,n The American Journo
of Numismatics, Vol. 51, pp. 153-166.) Our descriptions are Zerbe's, and we hove arranged the fifteen major types
in the order he arrived at, the unpublished variety in this collection being placed after his number 14 (Numbers 13
and 14 were not listed in the 1917 article, but are based upon pieces donated to the A N S. by Mr Zerbe in 1947.'
In addition, we have added a rarity listing, ranging from 1 to 8. All Leshers are rare in the accepted sense of the M
the commonest varieties currently retailing from $40.00 to $50.00 with ease. A striking parallel may someday exist
with these privately minted Silver coins, and the similar Gold pieces made in California fifty years earlier A $16 00
Moffat ingot could only realize $130.00 in the Brown sole, 1904, fifty years after ,t was struck and o Dunbar &
Co. Half Eagle brought a trifling $6.50 in the Cleanoy sole, 1890. When interest was fully centered upon these rarities
they increased tremendously in value, both being worth in the neighborhood of $1,000.00 today. Such could, ond
probably will, be the fate of the rarer Leshers.

The present ottering is equol to the Zerbe, A. N. S. holdings, in thot each collection lacks one typo the other possesses However in
addition, this remarkable and unique array includes numerous minor varieties, and a wide selection of different numbers It is 'the
greatest group ever presented of these intrinsically numismatic pieces, and is a memorial to the perseverance of its owner A Driie of
the first mognitude. To quote from Forran Zerbe, “So long as mefol shall endure in fhe form of coin or medal and there are collectors
to prize them, Joseph Lesher, Victor, Colorado, and his 'Referendums' will be remembered; and In the annals of Colorado histarv
he will trail after Clark, Gruber, Conway and Parsons, not in the same class by any means, but relatively, as a private coiner of that

The above described type is the most distinctive of the entire series. Frank Hurd of Denver cut the dies, and the coins were
struck by a private firm in that city. Mr. Zerbe found this variety rather hard to locate, and labeled it fourth in rarity. How-
ever, a few have turned up, from widely separated points, and we are inclined to call it Rarity 4.

2941 Another. Zerbe #2. No. 532. Good to Very Good. Well worn, with one or two slight obverse nicks, and a
minor edge bruise at the bottom of the reverse. Conclusive proof of how well these privately made coins
circulated. Harder to locate than a choice specimen.
2942 Another. Zerbe #2. No. 579. Just about Uncirculated, and with a very few infinitesimal defects. Attractively
toned. Scarce.
2943 Another. Zerbe #2. No. 593. Uncirculated. Beautiful Proof like surface, lightly toned. Far above average.
Ex Briggs coll. Scarce.
The dies for the above variety were made by Herman Otto, who also cut all the other dies used. Like the first type, the
above, and all others, were struck in Denver. Mr. Zerbe claimed that but few with the "Scrolls" reverse could be located.
Actually, this type is slightly easier to find than the last. Rarity 3.
2944 Bumstead Type — Second Reverse. Same as No. 2 excepting that there are no scrolls in field at sides of the
State seal device, or line above COLO. 35mm across center. Zerbe #3. No. 606. All seen of this type
are numbered between 600 and 1,013, but the famous Cowell collection supposedly had two specimens
numbered 1535 and 1741. Farran Zerbe only found this variety numbered as high as 988, and presumed
that only 1,000 were struck. Mr. Lesher stated that Bumstead sold about 700, of both varieties, so it can
be assumed that the numbering system was far from systematic. Ex. Fine. A choice piece, evenly toned.
2945 Another. Zerbe #3. No. 614. Uncirculated. Very lightly toned. A splendid example. Plate.
2946 Another. Zerbe #3. No. 684. Uncirculated. Iridescently toned, with a Proof like surface.
2947 Another. Zerbe #3. No. 716. Abt. Uncirculated. Partly toned. Traces of iridescence.
2948 Another. Zerbe #3. No. 726. Ex. Fine, but somewhat mishandled. In particular, we note two or three slight
edge bruises. Dark blue toning.
2949 Another. Zerbe #3. No. 792. V. Good to Fine. Evenly worn, obviously from circulation as a $1.25 coin.
2950 Another. Zerbe #3. No. 976. Abt. Uncirculated. Unusually choice and desirable.
2951 Another. Zerbe #3. No. 1000. Ex. Fine. A nice piece, with a Proof like surface, but showing one or two
minute defects. This specimen was long thought to be the final Bumstead number.
Zerbe correctly believed his No. 3 to be the most common variety. It is the easiest to obtain in the series, and can be called
"Common" on the same basis a Stella can be called common. Rarity 1.
2952 Bank Type. Obv. Upper half same as No. 2; lower half, A COMMODITY/WILL GIVE MERCHANDISE OR
CASH/.AT.ANY.BANK./NO. in four lines; a blank field, the size and position of which suggests that pro-
vision was made for special imprint in addition to the number; at bottom, in curved line, AT BULLION
VALUE. Rev. Same as No. 3. 35mm across center. Zerbe #4. No. 1621. Only five pieces, die trials, were
struck and the Bank idea was abandoned. No. 1525 was in the Cowell collection; No. 1563 was in the
Briggs, Roach colls.; No. 1620 was in the Brenner collection, and was later obtained by Farran Zerbe;
No. 1631 was the first Zerbe specimen, and is mentioned as such in his 1917 article. These unrelated
numbers, when only five were struck, are indicative of the lack of system associated with the enterprise.
Extremely Fine or better. Nicely toned. Extremely rare. The Cowell specimen realized $68.50, 1923. Rarity 7.

lustrous piece, with a toned Proof like surface. V. Rare.
The use of the word "Medal," upon the reverse of the Imprint type, was undoubtedly officiol influence making itself felt
Lesher called his products coins, and considered them mediums of exchange. Mr. Zerbe called No. 5 fourth, in order of rarity.
We agree with him, and are quite sure the variety is a Rarity 5 item.
2958 Zerbe No. 6. Same as No. 5, but stamped J. M. SLUSHER/CRIPPLE CREEK, COLO No. 11. Period after

Fine, with traces of iridescent tarnish. Scarce.
J. M. Slusher was a Cripple Creek grocer, and according to Zerbe's account of his conversations with Lesher, hod less thon five
hundred pieces. Mr. Zerbe only knew this variety to be numbered from 49 to 248, but others hove appeared The Cowell
collection hod a No. 4, ond o No. 542. The No. 1 1 and No, 249 obove, were unknown to F.Z. This is the second commonest
type, and can be colled a low Rarity 3 item.
2965 Zerbe No. 7. Same as No. 5, but stamped SAM COHEN/VICTOR, COLO No. 418. Ex. Fine, Proof like sur-
face. Slight planchet defect at bottom edge. Ex Roach collection of $67.50. A low price, considering the
actual rarity of this type. Ex. Rare. Plate.
2966 Another. Zerbe #7. No. 429. This is the famous example with the imprint double struck, one being upside
down. Strictly Fine. From the Briggs, Roach collections. Unique.
2967 Another. Zerbe #7. No. 436. Extremely Fine. Lightly toned with a lustrous surfoce. Ex. Rare
Cohen was a Victor Jeweler, and evidently did not handle many Referendums. Zerbe only knew of three examples, and includ-
ing the above, we have only located five or six. Rarity 7.
2968 Zerbe No. 8. Same as No. 5, but stamped D. W. KLEIN & CO./PUEBLO, COLO. No. 1063. Fine or better
Iridescent tornish at the edges. Of the most extreme rarity. The Roach specimen realized $105 00 in 1944
Plote.
Mr. Klein's firm was engaged in the retail liquor business, and originally had three hundred Lesher dollars. They must have
all disappeared, as Zerbe only knew of two, ond we doubt if more than holf-o-dozen are extant. Rarity 7.
2969 Zerbe No. 9. Same as No. 5, but stamped GEO. MULLEN/VICTOR, COLO. No. 1509. Only V. Fair to Good.
A piece that reolly circulated. Ex Briggs coll. V. Rare.
2970 Another. Zerbe #9. No. 1511. Uncirculated. The gorgeous and "Gem" example from the Mann collec-
tion. This beauty is one of the three known to Zerbe, in 1917. V. Rare. Plote.
2971 Another. Zerbe #9 No. 1616. Very Good. Slight signs of handling. Ex Rooch collection. V. Rare.
2972 Another. Zerbe #9. No. 1543. Uncirculated, with a bright, Proof like surface. We notice a few mper
ceptible defects, but this is a splendid specimen. V. Rare.
2973 Another. Zerbe #9. The excessively rare sub-variety without number punched in. Extremely Fine, with
slightest signs of tarnish. This is undoubtedly the Morgan specimen, another of the three examples known
to Zerbe.
Farran Zerbe quoted Lesher as saying that Mullen was a Shoemaker, and that he had only 100 pieces We presume from the
limited number known, that they were numbered from 1500 to 1550, with either the balance unnumbered destroyed or lost
In addition to the five described above, we doubt if more thon two or three ore known A strong Rordy 6 type
2974 Zerbe No. 10. Same as No. 5, but stamped BOYD PARK DENVER, COLO This imprint differs from the
preceding, in thot it is in smaller characters. No. 517. Extremely Fine. Blue iridescent toning at the edges
V. Scarce.
2975 Another. Zerbe #10. No. 527. Strictly Very Fine or better V Scarce Plote.

2978 Another. Zerbe #10. No. 628. Wider spaced numerals in number, without period Extremely Fine Lustrous.
attroctively toned, and definitely desirable. Undoubtedly rare.
2979 Another. Zerbe #10. The very rare sub-variety without number punched in Uncirculated. Irid. ently
toned, with a Proof like lustre.
2980 Another. Zerbe #10. Without number punched in. Uncirculated. Brilliant Proof like surfoce
2981 Another. Zerbe #10. Without number punched in. Very Fine. Slightly mishandled, particularly upon the
reverse edges. Zerbe only knew of one example without the number impression, his own.
Park was a Denver Jeweler, and a distributing agent for Lesher. Apparently, only two hundred were stamped as all the
known specimens are numbered between 500 and 700. Rarity 4. '
2982 Zerbe No. 11. Same as No. 5, but stamped W. C. ALEXANDER/JEWELER/SALIDA, COLO. (The second
A in SALIDA is an inverted V.) This imprint is in three lines, while all of the others are in two. No. 1.
Fine to V. Fine, with a few minute defects. Evenly toned, with some iridescence. Of the greatest interest
and value. From the Roach collection, 1944, at $105.00. Plate.
2983 Another. Zerbe #11. No. 18. Very Good. Slightly mishandled. Equal to the Cowell, Briggs, Zerbe example,
now in the A.N.S. collection. Excessively rare.
Farran Zerbe, in 1917, considered the Alexander imprint the rarest in the series. He only knew of the first Cowell specimen,
which he later obtained for his own collection. We only know of two others, in addition to the Roach and Zerbe pieces. One
was No. 31, and was sold with the Cowell collection in 1923. The other is the second listed above. The Salida Jeweler is
quoted by Mr. Zerbe as saying that he "obtained from Joseph Lesher, Victor, Colo., fifty of the Referendum Dollars in March
1902, paying forty dollars for them; all of them were received stamped to my order as the one described, and numbered
from 1 to 50. Have none on hand and do not know where they are located." A Rarity 8 type.
2984 Zerbe No. 12. Same as No. 5, engraved GOODSPEEDS Gr CO./26 PIKES PEAK AVE. No. 1027. The number
is punched, not engraved. Abt. Uncirculated. A nicely toned example of an extreme rarity. Not in the
Cowell collection. To our knowledge, only one other available specimen exists. Plate.
Goodspeeds & Co. were Jewelers of Colorado Springs. They experimented with Leshers by engraving a few, expecting later to
have some stamped. In all, three examples are known to is. No. 1015, the Briggs, Zerbe piece, is now in the collection of the
A.N.S. The Roach specimen was No. 27, and we do not know its present whereabouts. Rarity 8.
Zerbe No. 13. Same as No. 5, but stomped J. E. NELSON & CO./HOLOREGE, NEB. The Rumbcl collection
lacks this variety, which was unknown to Farran Zerbe when he prepared his excellent article on the sub-
ject. The only known example is very badly worn, and was presented to the A.N.S. by Mr. Zerbe in 1947.
It is No. 31, and is presumed unique.
2985 Zerbe No. 14. Same as No. 5, but stamped W. F. WHITE MERC. CO/GRAND JCT COLO. No. 2. Very
Fine. A nice coin, with a few unimportant defects, and a partly iridescent surface. Ex Roach collection.
Considered the only available specimen extant. Plate.
The above described item is technically unique, as the imprint is in small letters, and entirely different from that on the only
other known example. The Zerbe piece, now in the A.N.S., was stamped from an entirely different punch. W. F. White & Co.
were Clothiers in Grand Junction, Colo. Rarity 8.
2986 No. 15. Same as No. 5, but engraved H. STEIN. No. 1050. The number is punched, or stamped, and is not
engraved. Unpublished. It is believed that Mr. Stein was a Clothier in Canon City, Colo., but this informa-
tion cannot be verified. This variety was unknown to Farran Zerbe. Fine to V. Fine. Believed unique. Plate.
OFFERED AS ONE LOT
The Rumbel Collection of Lesher Dollars
The foregoing collection of Lesher or Referendum "Dollars" is the largest and most complete offering ever made. In view of the
feet that it would be quite impossible to duplicate this collection, it is the wish of the owner that it should be kept together if a
satisfactory bid is received. After the preceding lots have been knocked down to the highest bidders, the total will be added, and if a
bid cf $100. over this total is received, bids will be opened for the complete collection.

UNITED STATES SILVER DOLLARS
1795 - 1803
The Property of O. K. Rumbel, Mission, Texas
Capt. J. W. Haseltine, a pioneer Philadelphia dealer, sold his collection of Dollars, 1795 to 1803, at auction sale on Nov. 28, 29
and 30, 1881. His catalog of that sale, known as the "Type Table," was the first attempt to describe early dollars according to' die
varieties. Over the years, his listing became a standard reference and often sold as high as $35.00. In 1927, B Max Mehl reprinted
Haseltine with additions. A few years ago, M. H. Bolender, the noted dealer of Freeport, III., now retired, decided to revise and rewrite
the Early Silver Dollar section of the "Type Table." Recently, Mr. Bolender published "THE UNITED STATES EARLY SILVER DOLLARS
FROM 1794 to 1803." This book is now the standard authority and the following lots are based upon the Bolender descriptions. The in-
tense interest, stimulated by a new book on the subject, has uncovered new varieties and information. While several of the coins listed
below are in an outstanding state of preservation, this collection is valuable primarily for the large number of varieties offered, many
of which are quite rare.
3089 1795. B-l. Bust with flowing hair to r., resembling the head of 1794. Wide date spaced 1795. Rev. Two
leaves under each wing of the eagle. Slightly better than Fine. Has a reverse edge bruise, otherwise a clean
and attractive coin. Cost $30.00.
3090 1795. B-l. Another. Strictly Fine. A beautifully centered and evenly worn example. Well worth $25.00.
3091 1795. B-l. Another. Very Good. Has a minor defect in the left obverse field. Nice even wear.
3092 1795. B-2. Flowing hair. Similar to the preceding, but with the 95 in date closer together than the other
figures. Minute diagonal bar in field close to inner point of the 4th star. Rev. Same as B-l; two leaves
under each wing. The obverse is V. Good and comparatively sharp; the reverse is only Good to V. Good.
Usual minor handling defects. Said to be worth $20.00.
3093 1795. B-5. Flowing hair. The variety that can be readily identified by a diagonal bar in the left obverse field
close to the uppermost curl. Rev. Three leaves under each wing of the eagle. Ex. Fine. The left side of
the obverse, in particular, shows file marks which were done at the mint to correct planchet weight. This
sharp, well struck coin also has a number of small defects, including a minute reverse edge nick. Similar
examples have sold as high as $85.00. This specimen cost $65.00, many years ago.
3094 1795. B-5. Another. About Ex. Fine. Not quite as sharp as the preceding, but a splendid coin with consider-
able mint lustre. Boldly struck with well defined borders. Minute nick in the upper part of the obverse
field. A highly desirable specimen, said to have cost $60.00.
3095 1795. B-5. Another. Claims to Ex. Fine. Another choice example, almost the equal of the last. Well centered
with a partly toned, lustrous surface. Has a few infinitesimal imperfections, many of which are manu-
facturing defects. This piece, like the two preceding, is superior to the Bolender specimen which was de-
scribed as Very Fine and slightly scratched. Originally cost $60.00 and so marked.
3096 1795. B-5. Another. Fine, though bought as Very Fine. Few minute defects so common upon these large,
heavy coins. This piece is also marked $60.00 which seems entirely too high.
3097 1795. B-5. Another. About Fine. This dollar also has a few unimportant defects. Worth $25.00 so.
3098 1795. B-9. Small bust with flowing hair. This obverse (Same as B-3 & B-ll) is often called the "Head
of 1794" because of two low and thick curls. The third curl from the top turns downward. Rev. Same as
B-4, with two leaves under each wing. Fine. Has an odd planchet defect through the Y of LIBERTY.
Rarity 5. V. Rare. Valued by Bolender at $50.00.
3099 1795. B-10. Flowing hair. Obverse identical to B-l. Rev. This rare die can be distinguished by two berries
on the outside of wreath, at right, between the end of eagle's wing and the ribbon bow. There are two
leaves under each wing of the eagle. Fine to Very Fine. An attractive, evenly toned coin. The Bolender
specimen was only Fine and realized $85.00 in the sale of his collection on February 23rd last. Rarity 6.
Ex. Rare. Undoubtedly one of the finest known examples and worth a good price. Plate.
3100 1795. B-l 2a. Flowing hair, in six curls, the lowest of which passes through a point of the first star and
continues to right, ending in a sharp point. Vertical die crack extending from bust downward through 7 of
date to border. Rev. Three leaves under each wing. Thirteen berries. Fine to V. Fine. Rarity 7. Until now,
this variety was considered unique. The discovery piece was Bolender's own, and was sold with his collec-
tion on Feb. 23rd last. It was previously lot ■#'807 in the famed Stickney sale, 1907, where it was
cataloged as Good. This example is far superior to the Stickney-Bolender specimen which realized $1 10.00.
Excessively rare, the finest known example. Plate.
3101 1795. B-14. Draped bust. Hair tied up with ribbon and thus known as the "Fillet" head. Variety with bust
placed too far to left. Rev. Very small eagle. Abt. Very Fine. File marks on obverse together with one or
two other unimportant defects which include a few minute scratches under the L of LIBERTY. Well worth
$35.00.
3102 1795. B-14. Another. Draped bust, as last. Strictly Fine. Usual minor defects together with a serious, attempted
puncture in the O of OF upon the reverse.
3103 1795. B-l 5. Draped bust, similar to preceding, but well centered. Rev. Also similar to the foregoing. Fine
to V. Fine. A nice, clean coin with a nominal amount of the commonly found picayune defects. Rarer than
B-14.
3104 1795. B-l 5. Another. Draped bust, as last. Strictly Very Good. Small gouge in the left obverse field as well
as a few other defects, including a reverse edge bruise. An acceptable coin that is better than its description.
Cost $20.00.
3105 1796. B-2. Draped bust, as on all following. Small, wide date. Rev. Small letters. Abt. Very Fine. Rarer than
commonly known. Ex Col. Green collection. Cost $55.00.

1796. B-4. Small, wide date, the 9 ond 6 close Curl on top of head perfect Rev Large letter-. Almost
Fine. Worth over $25.00.
1796. B-4a. Same obverse die as last. Curl on top of head defective. The identical '.bverv f . d m b :
which has a Small letters reverse. This variety has a Large letters reverse Trace of bifurcation on LIBERT r
otherwise as described by Bolender. Strictly Good with a minute reverse edge bruice This combiner r. ho .
been called unique, but we have seen several specimens. From the Belden Roach ‘.ale, 1944 as lot g •»' j
where it was described as having a Fine obverse and a Very Good reverse V. Rare. Cost $36.00
1796. B-4a. Another, identical to last. As described by Bolender, but traces of bifurcation on A EPI in
AMERICA. Good to V. Good with two small punch marks upon the reverse. V. Rare, but hardly the extreme
rarity so often claimed.
"Bifurcation" is really a result of too wide a planchet. It is generally found at the bottom of letters around a k-v r '- .
appears to be a splitting or an indentation at the base of each letter. Bolender, in his furcated M
were cut that way in the die, while actually, we believe it to be little more than a matter of striking
1796. B-5. Large date. Rev. Small letters. Small die lump at right top of I in AMERICA. Almost Ex.
slight rubbing on the high spots. This coin has a beautifully toned surface with considerable mint lustre.
A few, hardly noticeable, scratches between UNITED and STATES upon the reverse. A choice ond attract. ve
example of this scarce date. A specimen, only slightly superior, realized $100.00 in the sale of the
"World's Greatest Collection" in 1945. Plate.
1796. B-5. Another. Fine or better. Nicely toned. Well worth $30.00 so.
1796. B-5. Another. Strictly Fine. Few defects, including an obverse edge bruise. Appears to have been
cleaned.
1797. B-l. Sixteen stars, 9x7. Rev. Large letters. Very Fine. Beautifully centered with considerable mint
lustre. Valued by Bolender at $50.00 so.
1797. B-l a. Same dies as last. Die cracks through 97 of date, bust, and stars on right Another crack from
upper back curl through ribbon and seventh star. Fine to V. Fine. Few unimportant defects including an
obverse edge bruise. Lightly tarnished. A choice and rare coin.
1797. B-2. Sixteen stars, 9x7. Rev. Small letters. Fine, with some claims to V. Fine. The obverse is par-
ticularly sharp and well struck. Several signs of mishandling, mostly on the edges, including a very small
cut in the right obverse field. Ex Col. Green coll. A very rare and popular "Type'' variety. Cost $72.50
and well worth it.
1797. B-3. Sixteen stars, 10 x 6. Rev. Large letters. Just about Ex. Fine. A splendid coin with a strongly
struck and lustrous obverse. Unfortunately, the reverse is not as well struck and shows evidence of con-
siderable filing prior to striking. Equal to specimens that have sold for $50.00. Plate.
1797. B-3. Another. Strictly Very Fine with traces of lustre. Has one or two old and minor defects, but is far
above average. Valued by Bolender at $50.00 so.
1797. B-3. Another. Obv. Very Good or better. Rev. Almost Good. Outside of a minor obverse edge bruise,
this is a nice, evenly worn coin. Retails today for about $25.00.
1797. B-3. Another. Obv. Strictly V. Good. Rev. Abt. Good. The obverse shows a few handling marks and
has three initials lightly scratched in the riqht field. Not a beautiful coin, but far from common. Cheap at
$ 20 . 00 .
1798. B-l. Thirteen stars. Rev. Small eagle and large letters. Fine or better. Usual minor defects and several
rim bruises, including a serious one that is apparent on both sides. In great demand as a "Type'' coin.
Well worth $35.00, with higher records.
1798. B-l. Another. Good to V. Good. Minute rim defect on obverse. Tarnished and evenly worn. A very

— 121 —
3132 1798. B- 1 5a. Another. Almost Very Fine, but weakly struck on the upper left part of the obverse and the
corresponding part of the reverse. Also, there are two minute reverse edge bruises. Rarity 5. Bolender
values this variety at $40.00 in Fine and $65.00 in V. Fine. It is seldom that two rarities of this caliber
appear together.
3133 1798. B-17. Very wide date, the 8 just touching the bust. Rev. Five very small berries in branch. Only ten
arrows. About Extremely Fine. A beautifully toned coin with considerable lustre, believed to be one of the
three finest known specimens. Rarity 7. To our knowledge, only five examples exist of this rarity. Bolender
mentions three pieces: His own, which he called Very Fine; the Fine specimen mentioned in his book; the
Haseltine coin, which was only Good. Ex Col. Green collection where it was called Unc. Excessively rare.
Cost $65.00, many years ago, and is well worth $100.00 today. Plate.

another at right of E in STATES. Very Fine. Struck on a wide, full flan. Rarity 5. Valued by Bolender at

and I in AMERICA. Heavy die break from right wing down through I in AMERICA to border, another below
ER in AMERICA. There is also a small rim break beginning below the tail which is unlisted. Fine or better.
Has a minute reverse edge bruise. Rarity 4. Almost the equal of Bolender's example. Rare variety, and well
worth $35.00.
3136 1798. B-20. Another. Identical to last, but a somewhat later impression. The die defect, between date and
bust, has become a lump, as described by Bolender. The reverse breaks are heavier, particularly the one
at the rim below the tail. This coin is a shade sharper than the last and is almost V. Fine. It has two un-
important obverse edge bruises which are so common upon these large, heavy coins. Somewhat rarer than
the last.
3137 1798. B-20. Another. Identical to the last two, but a still later die stage. All breaks are very heavy and we
can observe two new light cracks beginning at the base of ES in STATES and at the bottom of O in OF.
Other minor indications of the die's disintegration are evident. This coin is strictly Fine and has a few
minor defects, including several light digs on the obverse. It is undoubtedly one of the last impressions and
as such, is really rare.
3138 1798. B-22. Very wide date, 8 firmly united with bust. Rev. Die break down through E of STATES. V. Good.
Several defects, including a number of edge bruises, one of which, upon the obverse, is rather serious. Rarity 2.

minute digs to the right of E in STATES.
3140 1798. B-23. Obverse from the some die as last (B-22). Rev. Same as B-19; a rare combination. Strictly Fine.
Nicely toned. Rarity 3. Well worth $25.00 so.
3141 1798. B-23a. From same dies as the preceding. Second curl from bottom defective. Very Fine or better,
originally purchased as Ex. Fine. A bright, lustrous, bold coin with infinitesimal indications of handling. A
beautiful piece, valued by Bolender at $50.00. Rarity 4. Uncommonly rare.
3142 1798. B-23a. Another. Abt. Very Fine. An attractive dollar with the usual slight signs of handling. Cost $35.00.
3143 1798. B-24. Medium, wide date. Rev. Die break from stem down to milling. Very Fine. A sharp, well struck
example. One or two minor defects, including a reverse edge bruise. Cost $27.50.
3144 1798. B-24a. From the same dies as last, but has a die break from neck through right field, 12th star, to
border. Fine or better. Minute bruise upon shield on reverse. Rarity 2.
3145 1798. B-25. Close date. "Whisker" under chin. Rev. Star touches upper part of eagle's beak. Very Good,
originally bought as Fine. Usual signs of handling, this time obvious in two obverse edge bruises and a slight
dig in the left obverse field. Rarity 4. Rare. Worth $25.00.

in AMERICA. Star distant from eagle's beak.) Almost Uncirculated. A highly lustrous coin, struck on a wide,
full planchet. There are a few, almost invisible scratches to the right of S in STATES. A similar specimen sold
in the "World's Greatest Collection" sale for $60.00. Rarity 2. Plate.
3147 1798. B-27. Another, but a later die stage. The reverse crack is somewhat longer than that described by
Bolender. Almost Ex. Fine with the usual minor defects. A beautiful coin, valued at $35.00.
3148 1798. B-27. Another. Almost the final state of the dies. The reverse is shattered. Strictly Fine or better. The
obverse has its share of minor defects, including a scratch to the right of the third star. A very rare and
unpublished sub-variety.
3149 1798. B-30. Close date, high 8. Pronounced obverse die breaks from below 9 up to bust; to first star and
beyond; along border to right base of bust. Rev. All upper stars distant from clouds. Strictly Fine. Slight
defects. Rarity 5. Valued by Bolender at $40.00. Very rare.

evident in the upper obverse field. Fine or better. Traces of mint lustre. A shade more desirable than the last.

of the die. Very Good. Popular, and in great demand.
3153 1799/98. B-3. Obverse from the same die as last (B-2). Rev. The famous "Fifteen Star reverse. There are

UNITED STATES is much more pronounced and clearly begins below the eagle's tail Abt. V. Fine. One or two
slight defects. Traces of mint lustre. Undoubtedly rarer than the last.
1799. B-5a. Another. Without pocket ond with heavy reverse break. Fine to V. Fine and olmost the equal in

defects. Rare.

some claims to Ex. Fine. A beautifully struck piece with deep, sharp reverse borders. Nicely toned with
traces of mint lustre. Rarity 5. Bolender values this variety at $60.00 in V. Fine. Very Rare. Plote.
1799. B-6. Another. Fine or better. Two minute obverse edge nicks do not impair the appearance of this rarity
Worth $40.00 in this condition. V. Rare.
1799. B-8a. Liberty with open mouth. Slight die break through two points of seventh star and LIB Rev. Line
between N and I of UNITED at base. Almost V. Fine. Minor edge bruise at top of obverse and a plonchet
defect at edge, above S of STATES. Rarity 3.
1799. B-8a. Another. Very Good, few defects, but a nice, clean coin.
1799. B-8b. Identical to the preceding, but a loter stage of the die. All of the breaks described by Bolender
do not clearly appear upon this coin. Fine. One or two minor defects. Rarer than the last, but hardly a
Rarity 5 coin. Worth $30.00.
1799. 8-8b. Identical to the foregoing, but a very late stage of the die. Crack through LIB is heavier and
extends further. Additional break from border above T down through TY. Top of E and R defective The
reverse die is now badly shattered with numerous breaks. Uncirculated. A splendid, sharp impression with
full mint lustre. Far superior to the Bolender example which was only V. Good to Fine. Rarity 5. Undoubtedly
the finest known specimen and conservatively valued ot $125.00. Plote.
1799. B-9. Large stars, appearing close together. Rev. "Apostrophe" die flaw after last S in STATES. Strictly
Fine. A nice, clean coin.

and sharp. Very Fine. Struck on a wide, full plonchet with even impressions of the dies. Traces of lustre
Few unnoticeable defects. A choice and desirable example of this sub-variety. Well worth $30.00.
1799. B-10. First star appears small and thin. Rev. Five large berries. This specimen exhibits none of the die
breaks, on either side, attributed to it by Bolender. In the sole of this collection, Bolender described a B-lOc,
under lot # 107, which he stated had a perfect "Obverse" die. As this coin is free of breaks upon both sides,
we can only conclude that it is unpublished. Fine. Small obverse edge bruise. Presumably rare.
1799. B-10. Identical to the last, but now the light crack through last three stars, as mentioned by Bolender
can be seen. The reverse of this piece is almost as perfect as the last. There is no evidence of the die break
through OF, bottom of AMERICA, etc. Strictly Very Fine and lustrous. Minor bruising upon the obverse edge
A nice coin and evidently as rare as the preceding.
1799. B-lOb. Identical to the foregoing, but with a perfect obverse die and a severely broken reverse die. Abt

about the equal of this coin.
1799. B - 1 lb. Obverse same as B-10, when perfect. Rev. Usually described as "Without berries." Heavy die
break from border through fourth feather of wing, to star and eagle's beak. The length of this break is not
mentioned in the Bolender book, but he does describe a similar specimen as B-l lb in the catalog of his
collection. Fine. Few edge bruises, including one rather obvious one upon the reverse. Supposedly Rarity 5
It is claimed that B-l la is worth $40.00 in Fine.
1799. B-l lb. Identical to the last, but "Waves" at date ore stronger. We note traces of a die break, on this
coin, through UNITE of UNITED. This break, unknown to Bolender, seems to appear in varying degrees
upon all examples of this sub-variety. Very Fine with considerable lustre. A choice and desirable coin. Rare
1799. B-l lb. Another. Strictly Fine. One or two minor defects. Rare.
1799. B-l lb. Another. Very Good or better. Several slight defects, including what appears to be a small stor
scratched in the left obverse field. Rare.
1799. B-l lb. Identical to the foregoing, except that the reverse die is now severely broken Very Fine A

the 9th star curves through field to border near point of bust. The beginning of the end for this die. StistU
Fine Minute reverse edge defect. Very Rare. Worth $30.00.

clean coin. Valued by Bolender at $25.00. Rare.

its use. Strictly Very Fine with considerable mint lustre. The reverse shows slight evidence of file marks.
A choice, attractive coin. Bolender only knew of one specimen, his own. We have only seen one other in
addition to this piece. Rarity 6. Valued at $75.00.

through left wing, to top of shield. Very Good. This coin has the usual quota of defects and has also been
expertly plugged and retooled. Rarity 6. Ex. Rare.

3196 1799. B-23. Thirteen stars, 8x5. Rev. From the same die as B-l 6. Strictly Very Fine. An attractive, well
struck coin with a few defects, most of which appear upon the obverse. In particular, we note two small
gouges in front of the forehead and another on the edge, at point of bust. Rarity 5. Ex Col. Green collection
where it was priced at $65.00. Rare, and in great demand.
3197 1799. B-23. Another. Fine. Shows the usual handling defects which seem to have an affinity for this variety.

3198 1800. B-4. In date, 1 close to curl, 8 tipped to right. Rev. T in UNITED double cut, AME join. Die flaws show
at top and to right of ES in STATES. We cannot locate the obverse breaks around the date, and assume that

large berries. There is a reverse die break beginning below F of OF and continuing through AMERI above C
to border. Fine to V. Fine. Wide flan with deep, bold borders. This coin, with tongue in cheek, could be called
an example of the famous Haseltine 9.

reverse.

specimens. In the Ralph R. Barker collection, a sale by S. H. & H. Chapman on July 7th & 8th, 1904, under lot 71702, we
locoted the following — 1895 Silver Dollar. Brill. Proof. "Only 860 dollars coined at Philadelphia this yeor, ond it will be
one of the rarities of the future."

AN INTERESTING EUROPEAN CONSIGNMENT OF AMERICANA
3900 Massachusetts Silver. Oak Tree Threepence. 1652. Crosby 3-A2; Wurtzbach 30; Noe 25. MASATHVSETS;
NEW ENGLAND. Abt. Good, unevenly struck and worn. A clean and acceptable example of an extreme
rarity. Only six pieces, including this one, are known to the A.N.S. Plate.
3901 Pine Tree Shillings, etc. 1652. Crosby lb-D; W-39. The Normal Tree; MASATHVSETS IN. Very Fine, and
slightly clipped. A highly desirable specimen of the larger type, in spite of a minute reverse nick to the right
of the denomination. Items of this caliber are becoming quite hard to locate, and now retail as high as
$65.00. Plate.
3902 1652. Crosby 12-1; W-47. Small tree with berries; NEW ENGLAND AN DOM. Very Fine. Struck upon a full
flan, though not particularly well centered upon the obverse. Another nice large size shilling, evenly toned,
but with two or three imperceptible defects. Plate.
3903 1652. Crosby 20-L; W-57. The Small Tree; Legend begins almost opposite XII. A small size shilling, the
identical die variety illustrated in the 1951 Standard Catalog. Strictly Fine, and well centered, but with
a minute nick or cut in the center of V in MASATHVSETS upon the obverse. Valued at $30.00.
3904 1652. Pine Tree Sixpence. Crosby 1 -A; W-64. Tree with berries; NEW ENGLAND ANO. Abt. Very Fine.
Struck upon a warped flan, and very slightly clipped. Unusually sharp, and definitely above average. Worth
at least $40.00 so. Plate.
3905 1652. Pine Tree Threepence. Crosby 1 - A 1 ; W-68. Tree with berries; NEW ENGLAND. Almost Very Fine. The
planchet is uneven, and slightly clipped, with a slight crack on the right side. On the basis of its 1953
Standard Catalog listing, this coin is a "Type" and well worth $50.00. Plate.
3906 Colonial Coppers. 1787, Draped bust I., Connecticut Cent; 1787, New Jersey Cent; 1783, Blunt rays, NOVA
CONSTELATIO Cent; 1794 and 1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cents. Fine to Extremely Fine, the 1794 Talbot,
Allum & Lee with an obverse edge bruise. Superior to the usual lot offered. 5 Pcs.
3907 1795. Washington Grate Cent. Diagonally reeded edge. Almost Uncirculated. Nicely toned. Well worth $7.50 so.
3908 Half Cents. 1793. Gilbert I. The first year of issue, and in demand as a "Type" coin. A sharp piece, almost
Fine, but with the usual slight defects. Lists at $60.00 in Fine. Rare.
3909 1797. G-4. "1" over 1 in date. Clearly struck over a 1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent, which was cut down
in size. Consequently, on a rather thick planchet. V. Good to Fine. Decidedly interesting, and uncommonly
rare.
3910 Large Cents. 1793. Wreath type; lettered edge, single leaf after DOLLAR. Crosby 1 1-J; (S-l lc). Strictly Very
Good. The edges are somewhat bruised, and among other defects, the numerals "17" have been lightly
scratched into the field in front of the neck. Light brown color, and hardly as bad as the description implies.
Popular and scarce.
391 1 1794. The Fallen 4. Hays 32. Definitely Fine, but with the usual slight signs of handling, and a rim bruise at
the lower right side of the reverse. A famous and scarce variety.
3912 1795. Plain edge; ONE CENT high. Sheldon 76b. Very Fine. A choice cent, but with a number of small granular
defects and/or minute pit marks or nicks. These flaws only cover a very small part of the coin's total area,
and do not materially affect its appearance.
3913 1796. Liberty Cap. Gilbert F; (S-91 ). Clearly struck over another 1796 Liberty Cap Cent. The numerals "96"
boldly appear upon the reverse where STA of STATES should be. Very Good, but the edges somewhat bruised.
Highly interesting, and the first we remember seeing so.
3914 1797. The Gripped edge variety. S-l 21. Good to V. Good, but slightly nicked upon the bust. Also, 1801. The
Corrected Fraction, 1/100 over 1/000. S-221. Almost Fine, but mishandled. Among other defects, the edges
are bruised, and there is a small cut below E of CENT upon the reverse. Two popular and scarce "Types."
2 Pcs.
3915 1802. S-230. (N 8; D-171). The reverse die badly broken. Abt. Very Fine. A nice cent, but with a small rim
imperfection upon the obverse. Lustrous medium brown.
3916 1803. S-250; (N 8). Strictly Very Fine. A choice and desirable example of this rare variety. Golden brown, and
somewhat mottled. Well worth $20.00 so.
3917 Half Dimes. 1792. "Half Disme." About Fine, but holed above the head. Very rare.
3918 1795. Valentine 5A. An Uncirculated coin, but with numerous light file or adjustment marks upon the obverse.
Beautiful iridescent toning. Lists at $50.00 so in the Guidebook.
3919 1800. Decidedly Fine and sharp. Worth full catalog value of $15.00.
3920 1801. Fine. Not evenly struck or worn. Rare, and valued at $40.00.
3921 1801. Another, but only Good to V. Good. There is a small attempted puncture mark or so at R of LIBERTY.
A rare date.
3922 Early Silver, etc. 1796. Dime. First year of issue. The variety with a heavy break extending from star
to rim. Extremely Fine and unusually bold. Uncirculated examples have realized as much as $125.00 Plate.
3923 1795. Half Dollar. Beistle 19a-Gb. Small, narrow bust; two leaves under each wing of the eagle. This specimen
shows no evidence of the round die break at OF, upon the reverse, as described by Beistle, but does have
slight evidence of other die cracks. Extremely Fine. Not as advanced a die state as the obverse illustrated
in the Beistle text, but far superior in condition. Probably the finest known example of this exceeding y
rare variety. Plate.
3924 1795. Silver Dollar. Bolender 5. Flowing hair type; three leaves under each wing of the eagle. Strictly Very i” 1 ™-
and lustrous. A well struck and centered dollar, with only one or two microscopic imperfections. A $4U.UU
coin, and equal to specimens that have sold for more.
3925 1876. Trade Dollar. Iridescent Proof. Hardly in full brilliancy. Lists at $22.50.
3926 Philippine Islands. 1904. Silver Proof set. Ten, Twenty, and Fifty Centavos; Peso. Iridescent tarnish 4 Pcs.
3927 Cut and Counterstamped Money. Dominica. Dollar or "Ring." 1799 Mexican Eight Reales with round crenel-
lated cut from center. Wood 3. Fine. Really rare, and seldom offered. Plate.

The above coin was lot #476 in our 33rd sale, April 14, 1951, where it realized $95.00 after rather active competition.
Originally, it appeared in one of Lyman Low's sales, a good many years ago, and sold for over $100.00. Later, the piece was
listed as lot #592 in the Collection of a Prominent American (Granberg-Woodin), which was dispersed by VVayte Raymond,

Half and Quarter Eagle Mule. 1846. The obverse of an 1846 Half Eagle struck upon the reverse of an 1846
Quarter Eagle. A clear and intentional overstrike, and not a combination of two obverse dies. The reverse
(Obverse of the Qtr. Eagle) shows plainly the effect of the Half Eagle impression. Copper. Reeded edge
The planchet is somewhat irregular, undoubtedly due to the lock of a collar during the second operoticn
Copper. Abt. Unc. Assuredly a Mint product, and a muling of the obverses of A.W. 102 ond 103. Unique
The first that we have seen or heard of. Plate.
Silver Dollars. (1836) Original die strike for the obverse of the 1836 Silver Dollar by Christian Gobrecht
Struck upon an extremely thin planchet, in a fusible alloy composition resembling White Metal. An im-
pression from one of the later brass trial dies, made before the adopted steel die was completed. Liberty
appears thickset, stocky, and is apparently without a neck. Major parts of the final product seem to be
lacking, including most of the detail on the rock at Liberty's left. Engraver's lines appeor in the background.
This is the companion piece, and is almost identical to, the example in our 35th sale which sold for $36.00.
Both originated with a Philadelphia collector, who holds many interesting items from the Gobrecht estate

Adams 589 (Pa.). Extremely Fine and toned, the obverse from a broken die. Excessively rare, but three or
four examples known. Plate.
This curious piece has long been associated with Dana Bickford. Actually, it was designed and struck by Nicholas Vceder of
Pittsburgh, Pa. The dies were by Heeren Bros., of the same city. It was issued as a practical illustration of a cometallic coin-
oge, proposed by Veeder in a booklet published in 1885. A copy of the latter, in the catologer's library, bears the title
"Cometallism: A Plan for combining Gold and Silver in Coinage, for uniting and blending their values in Paper Money, and for
establishing a Composite Single Standard Dollar of Account." Contemporary comments branded both the unofficial pattern
and the idea "A version of fhe Goloid dream." Dr. Wright quoted Ed Frossard, on eorly dealer, as stating that only three were
struck, the dies yielding "on the third impression." In oddition to the above described piece, and the Zerbc, Boyd specimen in
the A. NS., we positively know of but one other, thot which appeared in the April, 1951 Schulman sale. A fourth is said to
be owned by a New York dealer.

All of the above described trial impressions were struck in Philadelphia by the firm that provided Clark, Gruber & Company
with their coining dies. Before sending the finished dies, the trial pieces were sent to Denver for the firm's opproval. They
are usually found in Copper with reeded edges, however, the 1861 senes exists in both Copper and White Metal with ploin
edges. "A PIONEER DENVER MINT" by Nolie Mumey, Denver, 1950, is highly recommended for all numismatists interested
in the history and coinage of the Denver establishment.

10 Dollars. 1850. Baldwin Or Company. San Francisco. Mounted vaquero riding to r. Restrike in White Metal
from the trial dies by Albrecht Kuner. The obverse shows some evidence of a rusty die. Adams 97. Un-
circulated, but slightly stained upon the obverse. Scarce, and currently bringing about $25.00.
5 Dollars. 1849. Cincinnati Mining Or Trading Company. Regulor dies, struck in Copper. Adams 69. V Good
There are five serious punch marks upon the reverse which were evidently intended to cancel this trial im-
pression. A rather battered example of an extreme rarity. From the H.O. Granberg and Waldo Newcomer
collections.
10 Dollars. 1850. Dubosq Or Company. San Francisco. Extremely thin trial die impressions or "Squeezings '
Obverse and reverse struck separate, in a fusible alloy composition, composed of tin and antimony, etc.
Uncirculated. From the effects of J. B. Longacre, the famous Mint engraver, who executed the regular U S.
Double Eagle at about the same time these impressions were made. Excessively rare, believed to be unique
2 Pcs. Plate.
5 Dollars. 1850. Dubosq Gr Company. Similar to the preceding. Trial die impressions of the obverse and revers
struck separately. W. Metal composition. Uncirculated. Like the last, from the J. B Longacre estate. Exces-
sively rare, presumably unique. 2 Pcs. Plate.
It seems oddly coincidental to us that Theodore Dubosq Sr. was a noted Philadelphia Jeweler at the same time J. B Longacre
was so active in Mint affairs. Two Dubosq trial pieces are known, dated 1849, which have T DUBOSQ across the obverse
field. It may be surmised, that the change from an original obverse design to on exceedingly close replica of the then current
U. S. Gold coins, could have been the result of Longacre's influence.
Dollar. 1849. Pacific Company. San Francisco. The obverse only, struck over a Spanish real of 1776 A trial
piece in Silver, apparently struck with a sledge hammer. Adams 65, and there called unique. Good. Originally
described and illustrated in the catalog of Ed. Frossard's collection, lot £912, Oct. 2 1884. At that time it
was thought to have been a private token of the period 1834-38, and brought only $9.60. Later it was in
the Woodward sale of J. C. Randall material, lot #1666, September, 1885; Woodward sole, lot #741, June
1886, Woodward's 108th sale, lot #256a; the Howland Wood collection, and finally, in the collections of
H. O. Granberg and Virgil Brand. It is mentioned in the July, 1902 number of the A.J.N., p. 25. We are told
that the fabulous Chicago collector valued this piece at the fantastic figure of $2,500.00. In any event, it is
undoubtedly unique, and represents the rarest denomination of the rarest U.S. series. Plate.
