LOT 730 1836 Original Proof-Only, Electrotype COPY MS60 . Glossy medium brown. The surfaces are a bit granular, as made, but there are no marks or spots. The edge is lightly smoothed but there is no trace of a seam.

LOT 732 1840 Second Restrike Small Berries Electrotype Copy XF40 . The obverse is medium brown with over half the surfaces showing the underlying base metal, the reverse is mostly medium brown with hints of the base metal on the rims and a couple spots under IC in AMERICA.

LOT 728 1831 First Restrike Proof-Only, Electrotype COPY EF40 . Similar to the preceding lot but not quite as smooth and the edge has been lightly smoothed. Glossy brown and chocolate with a few small spots of roughness on the edge. Nice eye appeal.
