EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 287 1834 Overton-103 R2 Large Date & Letters EF45. Sharper with nice eye appeal but there is a diagonal scratch on the cheek and neck and a small planchet chip on a curl over the clasp (as struck). The reverse is flawless.

LOT 288 1834 Overton-106 R1 Large Date, Small Letters AU58. A mint state piece that was dipped long ago; now naturally retoned a very attractive lustrous silver with beautiful electric blue overtones edging in towards the centers on both sides. Just a few tiny ticks on the neck from flawless.

LOT 285 1833 Overton-102 R1 AU50. Attractive and lustrous, very close to mint state with great eye appeal, but there are a few hairline scratches on the neck plus a small scratch on the eyebrow. Otherwise choice. Overtones of light bluish steel and champagne add to the eye appeal. MDS with fine radial die flowlines, but the repunching on star 1 remains visible.
