Choice 1794 (Head of 1794) Liberty Cap Cent PCGS AU55

Sirhc

S-44, B-33, R.1. One of the common 1794 varieties, this die combination is usually recognized at a glance by the die cracks on each side. The obverse is cracked through the 7 and 1, the lower hair curls, the left field, and along the outer edge of the cap to the border at 10 o’clock. The present example has minimal wear, evident on the hair curl above the ear. Its glossy surfaces are toned lavender-blue interspersed with mahogany-brown. An attractive representative with a slight lamination on the N in UNITED.

Listed at $13,300 in the CDN CPG and $12,500 in the PCGS price guide.

1793 Wreath, Vine & Bars Large Cent NGC XF45

Sirhc

After the public outcry over the Chain design, Mint Director David Rittenhouse ordered the preparation of new designs, resulting in the Wreath cents, a slight improvement over the Chain cents. Production began in early April and continued until the end of that month, picking up again in early July. Coinage was halted after the production of 63,353 Wreath cents. In-hand, this example is somewhat lighter than seen on our images.

Listed at $26,400 in the CDN CPG and $25,000 (in XF 40) in the NGC price guide.

Offered at $21,250

1793 Vine and Bars Wreath Cent PCGS/CAC AU55

Sirhc

A “Gemmy” AU From 93

The Mint’s second attempt at a design for the large cent was Adam Eckfeldt’s Wreath type. The obverse is not unlike that of the 1793 Chain cent, although Liberty’s portrait is more refined and a beaded border has been added. The reverse depicts the same statutory inscriptions as the Chain cent, although a wreath has replaced the chain as the central device. Breen believes that curious citizens saved a limited number of Wreath cents as novelties, but the extant population is probably no more than 6-7% of the 63,353 pieces produced. The one offered here is as pleasing as you’re likely to find, regardless of grade.

1842 Braided Hair Large Cent PCGS/CAC PR64BN

Sirhc

Very Rare Early Proof

The proof 1842 cent is much rarer than its 1841 predecessor. PCGS has graded only 4 examples at this grade and color designation, with just 2 higher, along with a single RB and a single RD representative. This beauty displays primarily walnut-brown surfaces with some darker mahogany toning. There are also some areas of reddish and blue iridescence, which show under a good light. In hand, up close and personal, this coin is noticeably more appealing looking.

1886 T-2 Indian Cent NGC MS66RD

Sirhc

The Sole Highest Graded at NGC

The 1886 Indian cent varieties, Type One and Type Two, were actually caused by a subtle but complete redesign of the entire obverse hub by Charles Barber, making the Type Two coins not only pointing their lowest feather between CA rather than IC but showing shallower relief. Only about 20% of the 1886 cents are of the Type Two 1886 cents show the lowest feather tip pointing between CA rather than IC. Today, full Red examples are scarce, and are rarely seen in Gem or better condition. In hand, this coin is considerably lighter, brighter and flashier than seen in our images.

1856 Flying Eagle Cent PCGS PR65

Sirhc

Let’s Go Flying

The 1856 Flying Eagle cent was originally issued as a pattern, to demonstrate the new small-size copper-nickel design. Large numbers were struck to showcase the design to Congressmen and other VIPs, in both proof and business-strike format. Most of the proofs were from the Snow-9 dies, characterized by a center dot under the upper-left serif of the N in CENTS. The issue has always been collected by Flying Eagle-Indian cent specialists and pattern collectors alike. Only seven have been graded higher by PCGS.

The Real Thing (but not Coca Cola) – 1969-S DDO Lincoln Cent PCGS/CAC MS61BN

Sirhc

The Real Thing (but not Coca Cola) – 1969-S DDO Lincoln Cent

PCGS/CAC MS61BN

We included the words “The Real Thing” in the listing title for this coin, because we receive weekly, if not daily inquiries about the 1969-S DDO cent. The doubling is distinct and quite impressive. Yet many collectors who own ordinary examples of this date, hope, wish or pray that they have the DDO and contact us, only to learn that they can spend their coins. 

The 1969-S Doubled Die cents have received enormous publicity in recent years, well-deserved given their status as among the few most spectacular doubled die errors in all U.S. coinage. Their only parallel within the Lincoln series is the 1955 Doubled Die Obverse cents, but the 1969-S cents are much, MUCH rarer. The PCGS population is only 3 with 6 higher! Listed at $36,300 in the CDN CPG.
