Half Cents
	1804 Spiked Chin	MS61BN	NGC 1704312001	C-6	Choice	New Price $1600	Spiked Chin, Early Die State C-6, Rich Chocolate Brown Surfaces, Mark Free for Grade, Bold Diagnostics, Hill Collection. An early die state Cohen-6 example with die cracks from the denomination into (UNI)TED and at the tops of letters in AMERICA. Surfaces are essentially blemish free for the assigned grade. Strike is very well executed. Overall, this is an attractive example with bold obverse diagnostics. For those new the Draped Bust half cents, the 1804 Spiked Chin is an interesting die state when damage occured to an obverse die, resulting in a sharp, spike-like projection jutting out from Liberty's chin. The Spiked Chin obverse is paired with four different dies (Cohen 5 through Cohen 8). Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. A strong offering from the Hill Collection that has been off the market for at least 15 years.

Overall, this piece is choice with attractive surfaces as compared to many seen. Accurately graded and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. CAC attempt one might be warranted if not sold within the next 30 days. From the YL Coyote Collection and ready for a new home.

First Year Classic Head Type, Deep Chocolate Brown Patina, Complete Strike, Eroded Dies, Accurately Graded, Twin Lakes Collection. The 1809 Half Cent is the first year of the Classic Head series, replacing the Draped Bust type with a new design by John Reich. This surviving example saw little if any circulation. A rich chocolate brown patina covers both sides. Strike is weak at the peripheries on both sides as is typical for Cohen 6. Reverse is rotated left about 40 degrees. Ancient lines are seen between star 1 and the milling. Housed in 2014 PCGS Gen 5.0 holder. Another early type offering from the Twin Lakes Collection.

Limited mintage of only 39,800 and a much better half cent date. Mintage is similar to the 1849 date but scarcer in terms of TPG numbers ceritfied. Few are known with Red-Brown desingation. This example is perfectly original with near choice surfaces. Fields still show some red hues while higher wear points are brown-olive coloring. A typical strike with few field abrasions. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 holder. A nice original offering from new Lakewood Collection consignor that is priced to sell.

	1814 Classic Head	AU58	PCGS 03256604	Plain 4	Original	New Price $4450	New March 11! Plain 4, Late Die State Dies, Crusty Chocolate Brown Patina, Accurately Graded, Twin Lakes Collection. . The 1814 Plain 4 Large Cent is scarce in Mint State with no Red-Brown or Red example known for either the Plain or Crosslet 4 die variety. PCGS has only graded twenty-one Plain 4 examples and roughly the same amount in all Mint State grade. GFRC is pleased to be offering an AU58 graded example from the Twin Lakes Collection. This example was struck from late die state dies as noted by the heavy metal flow lines and eroded milling. Die spalling is apparent under Liberty's chin. Surfaces are toned a deep chocolate brown on both sides. An obverse die crack connects the the 8 digit to the lower curls along with star 11. Some faint chatter is seen on the obverse. Housed in old PCGS Gen 4.4 holder with blue label and standard ring insert. The Twin Lakes consignor says sell so offers will be considered.

	1833	AU50	ANACS 6024003	N-6	Original	$225	New April 15! Matron Head Design, Newcomb-6, Rotated Reverse, Well Struck, Red Coloring, Lakewood Collection. The 1833 Newcomb-6 die pairing is fairly common but the literature does not make mention of a rotated reverse. The GFRC illustration accurately captures the reverse rotation. Original surfaces have limited abrasions. Strike is well executed. Under a light source, luster takes on a satiny texture on both sides. Housed in ANACS gold label holder and please don't let this fact hold back a purchase decision.

Tokens
	1837	AU58	PCGS 11467383		Choice	$425	Choice Original, Feuchtwanger Token, Woodlands Collection. A choice example of the one cent Feuchtwanger token. Just a touch of rub on the obverse eagle's shoulder is visible. A very well struck example with crisp eagles feathers. Wikipedia provides an explanation on why Feuchtwanger tokens were struck and circulated during the "Hard Times". The Feuchtwanger Cent was a "German Silver" private token coin circulated by Lewis Feuchtwanger during the 1830-40s in the U.S. Three cent varieties were also available, though not as plentiful as the one cent tokens. The tokens were originally created as patterns to demonstrate a new type of metal for coinage, however when these proposals failed, they were temporarily used by the public during depressions to accommodate a small change shortage.
