1853 PCGS MS-65RB CAC.
|
|
50% red on the obverse and 60% red on the reverse means the PCGS "RB" designation could not be more apt, especially given the pleasing brick color that describes the mint areas. The quality has "gem"... |

1853 (N-22, R.2+) NGC MS-63 BN.
|
|
Mike Wrinkle Collection. NGC does not show the N-22 attribution on the slab. Olive-brown patina drapes virtually the entire coin, with a tentative vestige of mint red peeking through here and there.... |

1853 NGC MS-65 RD.
|
|
With blazing luster over naked-copper surfaces, there is no shortage of eye-appeal, that's for sure. Probably 95% of the surface is mint-red, with a widespread dash of tiny greyish flecks comprising... |

1853 NGC MS-64 BN.
|
|
The "BN" designation seems hopelessly conservative given the amount of blazing grapefruit-red color seen across both sides, though proportion may technically be the limiting factor. The obverse... |

|
Two 1853 large cents and two half-cents.
|
|
Sharp details and good surfaces are two of the most positive attributes for this quartet of copper coins that together only add up to three cents face value. An 1809 half-cent grades XF-40 despite... |

1853 PCGS MS-64RD.
|
|
As a likely hoard coin, N-10 is one of the most common Newcomb die-marriages available in mint state, and this is borne out by two uncirculated examples in today's sale. The variety is easily... |

1853 PCGS MS-65BN.
|
|
Flickers of smoldering red color illuminate the stars and the edge of the devices, but 95% of the surfaces are brown, as indicated in the grade. This common N-10 example is free from carbon spots and... |

1853 NGC MS-65 RB.
|

| 182 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $230.00 |
|
1853 PCGS MS-63BN.

An attractive, frosty brown coin with pleasing, original surfaces. Verdigris and faint carbon appear on either side, but have no impact on the luster. |

1853 (N-3) NGC MS-65 BN.
|
|
Brown copper isn't always exciting to many collectors, yet this 1853 N-3 certainly provides more pizzazz and attractive features than expected of such a copper piece. This coin displays fantastic and... |

|
1853 NGC MS-64 BN.
|
|
Remarkable appearance is granted by the deeply imbued olive-bronze tone that pervades across each side. "3" in the date is dramatically recut. |

1853 Large Cent MS-63 BN and an 1833 Half Cent MS-62 BN.
|
|
Though not matched at all for color, both of these early coppers are uncirculated coins, and each is very well struck. The 1833 half-cent grades MS-62 and has dark walnut brown color overall. ... |

1853 MS-64 RB.

Astoundingly rich reddish-orange and brown hues blend to produce a splendid aspect. A light array of speckles are detected if viewing with a glass. All design elements are prominent and crisp. |
