1793 1C Chain, America AU53BN PCGS #1341

S-2 R4+ Ex. Chapman (5/1885) Plated in NNP archives. Light chocolate brown obverse. Reverse slightly darker, looks UNC, containing several planchet voids or "drift marks" as Chapman called them, signifying impurities in the planchet that subsequently eroded away. Incredible example.

1793 1C S-5 AU55BN PCGS #35447

Sheldon 5. Very pleasing with no visible marks other than normal "background noise". No porosity, good color, a small planchet fissure behind the head, looks like a bit of extra hair. Few trivial rim nicks on the reverse. Probably the nicest S-5 I will ever own.

1797 1C S-135 MS64+ BN PCGS #35936

MS64+BN, CAC. ex. McAllister-Oakes. Source: Heritage. A great example of this Nichols Hoard variety. Perfect color and nice glossy surfaces. Unquestionably new.

1811 1C MS64BN PCGS #1555

S-287, R-2, Normal Date. EAC 60. CC #3 in Noyes. Breen Die State V, ex. James Mossman, Cardinal Collection. Rare "7-Digit Blue" holder. One of the difficult dates of the series, and the lowest reported mintage. Coin has nice original color and hints of original red throughout the reverse.

1839 1C Silly Head MS66BN PCGS #1748

Ex: Eliasberg, OGH CAC. Silly Head, Newcomb 9 with the bisecting die crack. I grade it EAC 67.

1852 1C MS66BN PCGS #1898

N-3, R-1 CAC. Nearly RB and prettier than most. Thanks, Andy!
