1809, 9 over 8
.
PCGS graded MS-61
. Lightly toned with
rich orange-gold to copper tints on both sides. The strike is
sharp on Liberty' s curls and the surrounding stars, also on
the eagle. Both dies show evidence of clashing together
without a planchet between them, leaving their reverse
impressions on each other ever so lightly. Traces of die rust
are seen on the obverse, particularly around the drapery
and on Liberty' s neck. An impressive example of this
scarce coin. Lovely golden toning.
Pop 19; 84 finer at

1845-D
.
PCGS graded AU-53
. Mostly untoned. This is tough
issue to find this nice and is even more challenging to locate
any finer. Most of the 200 or so known fall into the VF or XF
grades while the finest are in the mid AU range to various Mint
State grades. Always popular as these branch mint issues tend
to be scarce and a collection of various dates from this Mint
would certainly make for a handsome display. Only 90,629
struck.
