Lot #888 - 1830 Medium Letters PCGS VF-25
Large Cents-Liberty Head
Newcomb-6 (R.4), medium letters, die-state B/B as is evident by the fourth star drawn to the edge and a die crack encircling portions of the reverse. N-6 gets representation in the Red Book with a valuation that is many multiples of any of the common large letters varieties. The surface offers exceptional chocolate-brown patina with merely a whisper of greenish overtone and suffers scarcely any detracting abrasions. A few trivial darker splashes occasion the lower obverse.

Small Cents-Indian Head
Bucky The Badger Consignment. 30 graded PR-66 BN, 17 higher at PCGS. If "BN" were the designation for "Blue Neon" then it would more adequately describe the astonishing overlay of cobalt toning that emanates from 90% of the obverse, while 80% of the reverse emits wintergreen overtones. In either case, the glassy smooth surface appears almost completely free from abrasions. Extraordinary eye-appeal for the type.
