EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 454 1853 N-19 R1 Repunched Date, PCGS graded MS64+ Brown. Frosty golden tan and light steel brown with a small puff of slightly darker brown toning left of star 11. Only minor marks including a very fine hairline scratch through the end of the wreath stem. MDS, die state b. The earlier die line down from star 12 is gone but the repunching on all 4 digits remains visible, strongest under the 5 & 3. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. 406024.65/81448450

LOT 455 1853 N-19 R1 Repunched Date AU50. Close to mint state but there is a spot of reddish toning at star 3, and there is a trace of microscopic verdigris in the center of the spot. Otherwise quite nice with frosty light brown toning and just a hint of friction on the highest points. EDS, die state a, with sharp repunching on the 853.

 BOLDLY DOUBLE STRUCK 1853 N-19

LOT 456 1853 N-19 R1 Repunched Date VF20. Glossy light to medium brown with a streak of darker olive brown toning across the reverse. No marks or other defects, just moderately worn. This cent was struck twice. Both strikes were centered but the second was rotated 80 degrees clockwise relative to the first. Ample evidence of the first strike is visible on both sides. The tip of the coronet from the first impression touches star 2, the 3 from the date is at star 10, and ME from AMERICA touches the tip of the wreath stem. Much more of the first strike is visible but these three points can give you the idea. A great mint error. Removed from an NGC holder graded XF40 (NGC label #1629233-001 included, and it shows the attribution and “DBL STK, ROTATED IN COLLAR MINT ERROR.”
