lustrous mint red fading to medium steel brown and light choc-
olate with at least 20% of the original bright mint red remaining
visible on both sides. The only marks are a very faint hairline on
the cheek, a shallow planchet flake on the truncation above the
1, and a bit of fine carbon inside the left half of the M in AMER-
ICA. MDS with a rim cud break from star 5 to star 7. A beautiful
cent in every respect. This piece is a new discovery that comes
to us from a non-collector family that inherited the cent. Our
grade is MS63. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.

700 1830 N-1 R1 EF45+. Frosty light to medium chocolate brown.
Mint luster covers the protected areas on both sides and this
cent offers excellent eye appeal. A small puff of darker choco-
late toning at the lower right of the date is a good identifying
mark. MDS with a die crack through star 2 to the dentils at stars
1 & 3. A nice cent, close to AU50.
Estimated Value ..................................................... $200 - UP
701 1830 N-11 R5 NGC VF Details, Environmental Damage.
Sharpness VF20 or slightly better but covered with microscopic
roughness on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. No ver-
digris and just a few marks. The notable marks are a shallow
planchet flake or pit at the dentils between the date and star
13, a scrape on the rim over the first T in STATES, and a dull rim
nick over the U in UNITED. LDS. The die crack at ATES-OF is
strong. Our grade is net F12. An imperfect but still decent
example of this very rare variety, in the lower end of the condi-
tion census.
Estimated Value ..................................................... $500 - UP
702 1833 N-1 R2 PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty mix of
olive brown, chocolate, and lighter brown. Traces of faded mint
color show in protected areas on the reverse. No notable marks,
but the luster is subdued by a thin layer of natural oxidation. It
looks like this cent has never been brushed. May be a good can-
didate for a little professional TLC to bring out the underlying
beauty. LDS. The lump between the T & A in STATES is gone
and the die cracks on the reverse are strong. Our grade is
MS60. Pop 23; 72 finer at PCGS.
Estimated Value ..................................................... $600 - UP
703 1834 N-1 R1 Small 8, Large Stars, Medium Letters PCGS
graded MS62 Brown. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate.
Mint luster shows in the protected areas. The only notable mark
is a nick on the jaw. MDS. Both side show die cracks (as always
on this variety) and the repunching inside the C in AMERICA is
dull but visible. Our grade is AU50. Pop 16; 31 finer at
PCGS.
Estimated Value ..................................................... $350 - UP
