1 | 1783 Washington Portrait Piece; Large Military Bust beautiful chocolate brown XF or very nearly so. | ![]() | $160 |
2 | Georgius Triumpho Token (1783) VG+. Considered a Washington Piece, the Georgius Triumpho tokens celebrate Washington's victory over the British in the Revolutionary War. Many have commented that the likeness on the coin is much more like that of King George III than it is of George Washington. | ![]() | $125 |
3 | 1787 Massachusetts Cent Talons in Left Claw "Horned Eagle" variety (so named because of a large die crack coming off the eagle's head attaching to the H in the "Massachusetts" legend). Strong F, attractive uniform brown color on a lovely evenly worn planchet. Small old scratch thru "COM' but inconsequential in terms of the coin's overall aesthetic appeal. | ![]() | $300 |
4 | RARE vintage printing block, two copper rounds w/ reversed images for obverse & reverse of 1796 No Pole half cent, on metal plate on wooden block, measures 54 x 20 x 23mm; only marking is light stamped image on wooden side "26 2" under small bust; likely used for illustration in numismatic book; seldom offered | ![]() | $5,000 |
5 | 1809 "9 over Inverted 9" C-5. This variety is also referred to as "9 over 6". Beautiful brown AU pleasing in every way. | ![]() | $300 |
6 | 1853 Braided Hair beautiful XF original. | ![]() | $80 |
7 | 1794 Liberty Cap S-44 VG Obv; G+ overall. Some small rim bumps but quite pleasing for a Liberty Cap Cent | ![]() | $200 |
8 | 1796 Liberty Cap S-87 F detail net VG. Nice type coin for a Liberty Cap Cent, dark brown w/ even color. Light obv marks but they do not detract from the coin's overall appearance. | ![]() | $500 |
9 | 1798 over 7 Draped Bust S-151 net G. Probably VG or better detail but even corrosion reduces the coin's net grade and overall appeal. But the over-date and all legends are clear. Inspection recommended. | ![]() | $150 |
10 | 1802 Draped Bust Normal Rev S-232 VF. Even dark brown, surfaces a bit rough, still appealing overall especially for a Draped Bust large cent. | ![]() | $240 |
11 | 1802 Draped Bust S-236 XF+. Surfaces are a bit rough but the coin is a beautiful even dark brown and has great detail. Ideal for type. | ![]() | $500 |
12 | 1813 Classic Head S-293 Near Star variety F+ detail, net VG+. A bit of roughness on the planchet but even dark brown color and ample detail. | ![]() | $180 |
13 | 1817 15 Stars N-16 F+ net; even dark brown. Slightly rough on the rev but all characteristics of this interesting variety are present. The origin of the 15-Star obv is unknown. Though it is not scarce in an absolute sense (Bowers estimates 1,250 to 1,500 exist), demand is high because most large cent enthusiasts want one. However most are in low grades. | ![]() | $120 |
14 | 1818 "Connected Stars" N-10 XF. A common variety due to the Randall Hoard, still a very attractive even brown coin that would be great for a middle-date type. (A large quantity of uncirculated Large Cents mostly bearing the dates 1818 and 1820 was discovered in Georgia in the late 1860s. They were purchased by a man named John S. Randall and sold to the numismatic public for the next two decades. Mint State coins of 1818 N-10 and 1820 N-13 comprised a large part of the hoard. Coins of these two varieties, when in high grade, are generally referred to as Randall Hoard coins.) | ![]() | $125 |
15 | 1835 "Head of '36" N-14 AU detail. Beautiful on the obv, the rev unfortunately shows light pitting likely from corrosion or other environmental damage. However, the coin has been expertly preserved though the re-coloring on the rev is somewhat incomplete leaving a few coppery colored areas amongst the natural brown. | ![]() | $100 |
16 | 1837 Medium Letters N-7,8 AU brown. Late die state w/ prominent rev crack through "STATES OF". A few hairlines and spots, still quite appealing. | ![]() | $130 |
17 | 1839 "Silly Head" N-4 VF+ | ![]() | $80 |
18 | 1840 Large Date N9 VF+ some obv corrosion. Bisecting obv die crack faintly visible but enough to identify the variety. | ![]() | $46 |
19 | 1845 N-10 XF+ perhaps better. Beautiful even brown color. | ![]() | $75 |
20 | 1851 N-10 an apparent uncirculated coin but closer inspection suggests that the coin is likely whizzed, though 95% of collectors are unlikely to detect it. A late die state for N-10 resulting is rather mushy detail, still lovely color and smooth surfaces. Inspect for a better idea if this is a coin for your collection. | ![]() | $150 |

23 | (3) Trio of Draped Bust Large Cents incl a couple of 1798 and an 1800. We didn't attempt to attribute these due to the low grades (all AG w/ problems) but a casual view suggests that the 1800 is an S-205 or S-206 (more likely). | ![]() | $100 |
