Half Cents
	1795 Plain Edge, No Pole	VF20	PCGS 06865666		Choice	$2250	New June 16! Liberty Cap Design Type, Choice Brown Surfaces, CAC Approval, StoneCold Collection. 1795 brought the half cent transition from a 104 grain planchet to a lower weight 84 grain planchet towards the end of that year. The lower weight planchet was too thin for edge lettering. Instead, the edge was left plain. The No Pole design is found with Cohen 5 and Cohen 6 dies varieties. The StoneCold Collection has decided to breakup its holding of early copper type and has released this choice original example. Surfaces a toned a uniform brown with embedded rose and purples during bright light inspection. Surfaces are minimally abraded with one line in the lower left wreath noted. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 holder with CAC approval. Please note that the reverse plastic is well worn with hazing and a long scratch.
	1806 Small 6, No Stems	AU53	PCGS 18269156		Choice	$625	New June 11! Choice for Draped 1/2 Cent Type, Chocolate Brown Coloring, Satiny Luster. Adding early copper to the GFRC price list is proving to be an enjoyable exercise. This 1806 Small 6, No Stems example brings rich chocolate coloring and smooth fields as its main highlights. Reverse die is heavily eroded leading to weakness at the legend. Typical verdigris surrounds the wreath leaves. A solid example that would fill the Draped Bust slot in a type set. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with Small 6, No Stems attribution on the label.

Large Cents
	1814 Plain 4	50BN	NGC 4192487011	S-295	Original	$2650	New June 25! Classic Head Type, Near Choice, Durham Eagle Collection. The last piece in the ultra-challenging Sheldon large cent variety set, the 1814 S-295 is distinguished by the absence of a crosslet in the 4. Die crumbling underneath Liberty's throat caused Sheldon to name this the "breaded variety." The present example is deeply toned with hints of evergreen in the central areas, while remaining luster is evident around the stars and reverse legend. Housed in a newer NGC holder.

How I love the Classic Head design on early copper and gold! This 1814 example is a deep brown coin with ebony shades.
