SECOND FINEST T ERMINAL
STATE NEWCOMB-5
622 1846 N-5 R2 Repunched Date VF35+ . Glossy medium
brown and light chocolate with slightly darker chocolate
brown toning on the lower part of the reverse. Frosty mint
luster shows in protected areas on both sides. No notable
marks. A tiny swipe of lighter tan toning on the end of the
wreath ribbon can help identify this cent. Nice for the
grade, close to EF40. Extremely rare TDS, die state i, with
clearly defined rim cuds over STATES plus narrow rim cuds
from star 10 down to star 13. The repunching on the date
is weak but still visible, clearest under the base of the 1.
CC#2 of only 6 known in the terminal state in the Grellman
census. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU58BN
(NGC label #308005-012 included, and it shows the attribu-
tion and Reiver provenance).
Estimated Value ................................................. $300-UP

623 1846 N-6 R1 Repunched 46 AU58. Very close to mint state
but there are two extremely faint horizontal scratches on the
cheek and a diagonal one under the earlobe. Otherwise the only
notable defect is a small nick-like planchet chip at the bottom of
star 10, as struck. Lustrous light olive brown and steel with gen-
erous traces of slightly faded mint color remaining on both
sides. E-MDS, die state b. There is minor roughness in the
obverse fields from die flowlines but the repunching at the bot-
toms of the 4 & 6 is clear.
Estimated Value .......................................................$200-UP

624 1846 N-6 R1 Repunched 46 AU55. Very attractive lustrous
light olive and steel with peeps of very faded mint color on both
sides. Great eye appeal for the grade. No spots, stains, or nota-
ble marks, just a hint of friction on the highest points of the
design. LDS, die state c. The repunching under the 4 is faint but
it remains clearly visible on the bottom of the 6.

bruise at the R in AMERICA. EDS, die state a. The diagonal die
lines from the dentils under star 13 and the adjacent 6 are clear.
Our grade is AU50 sharpness net EF45. The attribution is
shown on the NGC label.

627 1846 N-7 R3 EF40+. Attractive glossy medium brown and
light chocolate. Frosty luster covers the protected areas on both
sides. Smooth and quite nice for the grade, close to EF45. The
best identifying mark is a shallow planchet flake hidden in the
hair under the B in LIBERTY (as struck). Rare LDS, die state d,
with a strong rim cud from below the 6 to right of star 13. CC#7

Ex Jack Wadlington-Chris McCawley 5/2011-Doug Durasoff.
628 1846 N-8 R1 MS60. The obverse is very attractive lustrous
light greenish olive and steel brown, a classic "greenie." The
reverse is a less-attractive glossy medium brown with frosty
light greenish steel toning in protected areas outside the
wreath. No notable marks or other defects. Sharply struck MDS,
die state b early. The die lines at the throat are dull but visible.
Estimated Value .......................................................$300-UP
