PRETTY 1809 C-3

 1809    C3, B4, G4      R1       MS63 RB                               $ 4,000
Wide Date. M2.0. Red and brown with mint color. Obverse color is fairly even except for a light, ancient fingerprint on the left field; the reverse color is more mixed with areas of red and areas of brown. The cartwheel is intense. Very late die state with weak peripheral lettering, dentils, and stars due to advanced die wear and a small cud (not a rim bump) at F.

                              MINT STATE 1810 C-1

 1810    C-1                     R1+    MS60+                                 $11,000
Die State 1.0. Choice, lustrous, colorful surfaces that show a mixture of brown, tan and steel, with traces of mint red. Unusually sharp. Full dentilation on both sides and all stars fully outlined.

     HIGH GRADE 1811 C-1

 1811    C-1                  R4       PCGS XF40                            $ 4,850
Sharply struck medium chocolate brown. Problem free. EAC VF35.

                             HIGH GRADE 1811 C-2

 1811    C2, B2, G1,     R2       EF40                                       $ 6,000
Close Date. M1.0. This example exhibits EF45 sharpness from a very strong strike, but the surfaces are dark and a little dull because of the poor quality of the planchet on which it was struck. Certainly one of the finer examples of this scarce variety.

 
1825    C-2                  R1       AU50                                       $   750
Frosty chocolate brown with lighter brown and tan faded down from mint color in protected areas, especially on the reverse. A small, well-hidden dark spot is located in the hair above the ear. Sharply struck EDS. Manley state 1.0 early. The reverse die clashmarks of the earlier 25 C1 die marriage are present., including the “egg” lump between the F and A (Manley says these were lapped off the die before this marriage, but a few early examples showing the clashmarks have come to light since the book published). Undoubtedly a rare die state.

PROOFLIKE 1825 C-2   EX. JULES REIVER

 1825    C2, B2, G1      R1       MS63                                      $ 4,500
Curl Above 25. M1.0.  Magnificent example from the Jules Reiver collection, where slabbed by NGC as MS62 and described as follows: “This coin was catalogued by Wayte Raymond as a Proof in 1947. …Unusually toned, the obverse is mostly dark brown with olive undertones and considerable original Mint red through the stars. The revere has an iridescent display with bright green and pale blue inside the wreath, a ring of original color through the leaves, and dark brown color outside the wreath.” After liberation from its slab and alight brushing, the true flashy luster that fooled The Great Wayte into thinking it was a Proof was revealed.

1828    C-1                  R1       AU58                                       $   550
Choice glossy medium brown with light chocolate highpoints. Frosty mint luster shows in the protected areas. No defects, just a hint of rub on the highest points. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0.

1828    C3, B2, G1      R1       MS64                                      $ 2,000
Thirteen Stars, 2 Punched Too Low. M1.0 or 2.0. Choice and spot free, full Mint red, though an area at the upper right obverse is beginning to tone. Common, but exceptionally nice for the variety.

 
1832    C-1                              MS63                                      $ 1,950
Choice light walnut brown. Some bluish steel and a trace of faded red on the reverse.
