EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

 PROOFLIKE OBVERSE N-13

LOT 66 1835 N-13 R4 Head of 1834, Small 8 & Stars, NGC graded MS63 Brown . Glossy chocolate brown with delicate overtones of bluish steel. The obverse fields are hard and reflective while the reverse fields are satiny from fine die flowlines. The sharpness is very close to mint state, but there are faint hairlines covering both sides (which only show in the obverse fields thanks to their smooth, prooflike finish). Otherwise this cent is virtually flawless. A good identifying mark is a tiny, barely visible lamination from a dentil up to the base of the 3 in the date. EDS, die state a. The small chip on the right bottom of the 5 in the date has not formed and the repunching under that numeral is sharp. Solidly in the condition census for this scarce variety, and the prooflike obverse die state is a definite plus. Called AU55 net EF45 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #25744. Bland says EF45 and tied for CC#3 among the confirmed examples in his census. Our grade is EF45+, very close to AU50 . 2038633-020 Ex Abe Kosoff-Robert Gildred, Kagin’s GENA Sale 10/1983:1129-Wesley A. Rasmussen, Heritage Auctions 1/13/2005:3651-Daniel W.

LOT 67 1835 N-13 R4 Head of 1834, Small 8 & Stars, PCGS graded AU58 . Glossy medium brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints of the devices. Possibly lightly cleaned long ago but the toning and eye appeal of this cent is quite nice. The only notable marks are a few light contact marks on the cheek, a speck of dark toning on the front edge of the neck, and a tiny tick on the very tip of the nose. M-LDS, die state f, with clear rim cud breaks at D-S and ST, but the die crack at stars 4-6 has not formed. Called EF45 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #21431. Bland says EF45 as well but tied for CC#3 in his list. Our grade is EF40. 37099.58/13086965
