|
Four better 1832 die marriages.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Each die-marriage here (one is repeated) appears to be worthy of at least an R.4 rarity estimate, and all deliver pretty strong details, along with some caveats. ... |
|
| 701 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $4,900.00 |
|
1832 NGC MS-65.
|
|
Brock Megran Collection. Solid details include curvature that has been almost completely brought up by the dies, with only trivial incompleteness seen here and there, such as on the bottom right... |
|
| 702 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $330.00 |
|
1832 Large Letters (O-101a) AU.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Smoky beige patina settles over rather frosty surfaces to provide a nice presentation at AU-50. In this case, our assessment exceeds the consignor's XF-45 grade,... |
|
| 703 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $475.00 |
|
1832 (O-111) AU.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. It's easy to see why the consignor called this an "unc" given the extensive luster and near-blazing eye-appeal. Edge toning splashes the tiny areas just outside... |
|
| 704 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $380.00 |
|
1832 (O-115) AU.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Perhaps a bit overly white until not so long ago, the rims show evidence of recovered toning, as if the coin has spent some time in an album after being dipped. ... |
|
| 705 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $320.00 |
|
1832 (O-116) AU/hairlines.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. A strongly doubled profile shows up immediately under magnification. Each side shows heavy white frost which suggests both a pair of very worn dies, but also some... |
|
| 706 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $1,400.00 |
|
1832 (O-119) AU.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Rather charming and most definitely very attractive rim toning begins as a bright, narrow cobalt ring at the extreme edge, then advances rapidly through... |
|
| 707 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $1,150.00 |
|
1832 (O-121), UNC/planchet streak.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. A planchet streak rests right smack dab in the middle of the obverse, landing errantly on the portrait and causing a downgrade from what should otherwise be MS-63.... |
|
| 708 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $240.00 |
|
1832 (O-122) AU.
|
|
Ronald Zink Early Type Collection. Terrific vibrancy will suggest a slightly higher grade to some bidders, but the surface is a trifle too bright for silver of this vintage, resulting in a slight... |
|
| 642 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014 | $425.00 |
|
1832 NGC UNC details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Any hairlines that might lead to NGC's "cleaned" disclaimer may be well hidden by some mulberry toning that sweeps gently across each side, as there is no obvious evidence of cleaning. Indeed, there... |
|
| 567 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $320.00 |
|
1832 (0-109, R.4) PCGS AU-53.
|
|
Better as an R.4 die-marriage for 1832, the Red Book calls this a "small letters" variety. This is an evenly detailed example that enjoys percolating luster and pleasant medium-grey patina, dashed... |
|
| 825 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $260.00 |
|
1832 Small Letters (O-106, R.1) NGC AU-53.
|
|
Star 1 is a nicely recut at the southwest point, and the very bottom tip of the shield on the reverse shows the diagnostic defect for O-106, a common die-marriage. Sparse luster can be seen in the... |
|
| 551 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $360.00 |
|
1832 "Small Letter Reverse" (O-103, R.1) AU.
|
|
A die lump on the drapery fold and recut "5" in the denomination are usually given as the diagnostics for attribution, but an aberration in Liberty's cap just next to the eight star is another... |
|
| 761 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $390.00 |
|
1832 "Large Letters" (O-101, R.2) NGC AU-50.
|
|
CONSIGNOR: As you know, I bought this coin from a Scotsman auction a couple of years ago, and thought it went much too cheap at the time, which was great for me, no complaints here! I love this... |
|
| 762 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $475.00 |
|
1832 "Small Letters" (O-102, R.1) AU.
|
|
CONSIGNOR: So close to BU, not too bright but [darned] nice color. CATALOGER: Exquisite album color graces this entire coin with excellent symmetry, adding peach-gold and plush blue accents to the... |
|
| 494 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $390.00 |
|
1832 (O-116, R.3) AU Cleaned.
|
|
Strict evaluation shows that there is some rub on several high points, yet this late date bust half is very close to mint state sharpness. Unfortunately, an errant attempt to clean it and produce the... |
|
| 577 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $190.00 |
|
1832 Capped Bust half-dollar, XF-45
|
|
Despite a formal grade of only XF-45, the pretty rim toning that surrounds both sides lends premium appeal. Technically, this coin is extremely close to grading fully "about uncirculated", but the... |
|
| 595 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $450.00 |
|
1832 O-122 XF-45, 1834 O-101 XF, and 1836 O-110 XF.
|
|
All of the bust halves comprising this lot are choice, original coins with flawless surface quality, absolutely no signs of cleaning, and no other problems at all. An 1832 O-122 leads off. It is a... |
|
| 597 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $575.00 |
|
1832 O-122 Small Letters PCGS AU-53.
|
|
Semi-prooflike fields appear on both sides, though the reverse is a bit more reflective than the obverse. If not for nominal wear abrading the fields just a bit, this coin would be an amazing piece. ... |
|
| 598 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $475.00 |
|
1832 O-122 AU-55.
|
|
Frothy platinum-grey luster shimmers gracefully within the protected areas, while graphite color gently washes over the highpoints. Mark free aside from a short, nearly invisible hairline on... |
|
| 560 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007 | $425.00 |
|
1832 MS-60 Scratched.
|
|
This is a blazing white Bust Half that has a ton of luster and a great strike. Unfortunately, there is a small scratch on the obverse. |
|
| 1432 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $800.00 |
|
1832 O-111, R-1. NGC MS-62.
|
|
This "Small Letters 50C" variety exudes gorgeous shimmering luster that complements its lovely pastel aspect. A few ticks and flecks are indicated for accuracy. A nicely struck issue. |
