Half Cents
	1853	MS64BN	NGC 456378003	C-1	Choice	$735	Early Copper Type, Near-Gem Original, Chocolate Brown Coloration, Pristine Surfaces, Fully Struck. A premium 1853 Braided Hair half cent that would be ideal for an advanced type set. Mintage for the date totaled 129,694 which is typical of the era. Bright light inspection revealed chocolate brown surfaces with some embedded reds. Fully struck with pristine fields and motifs. The reverse verdigris is further testament to the strict originality. I certainly like this piece and believe the buyer will too. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	1853	MS64BN	PCGS 11913354		Choice	$650	Near-Gem Original.. Mahogany-red patina evenly covers both sides of this late-date half cent, accompanied by minimal crust in the protected areas. This is a well-struck example, with most stars revealing inner detail. The half cent was a hefty coin in the “hard money” era, with a weight approaching that of a quarter dollar. CAC has certified 49 examples at this level, with 48 pieces finer. The CAC price guide value is $671. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
Large Cents
	1820 Large Date	MS65RB	PCGS 34351291		Gem	$3000	New October 19! Gem Original, A Type Set Offering, Island City Collection.. Steely, frosted luster blankets both sides of this GFRC-Gem rated example, and a light source easily activates flashy cartwheels. Partial red and orange patina is evident in the protected areas, throughout the stars and wreath. A die crack encircles the obverse and serves to identify this example as the N-13 variety. Most of the N-13 pieces originate from the Randall Hoard, a wooden keg of large cents found underneath a Georgia railway platform some time after the Civil War. CAC notes 68 coins in all grades with 32 pieces in MS65RB and eight coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $3,000. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval. The label documents the Large Date attribution.
	1838	MS63BN	PCGS 28157801		Gem	$900	New October 19! Gem Original, A Type Set Offering, Island City Collection.. Lightly mirrored surfaces reflect fiery red color in the protected areas. The originality of this GFRC-Gem rated example is strong, as confirmed by hairline-free fields. The availability of a 19th century type coin in such an elevated condition, at a price point less than $1,000, is noteworthy. The CAC census records 200 coins in all grades, 27 pieces in MS63BN, and 101 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $850. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
