Lot #874 - 1804 XF details/corrosion removed
Large Cents-Draped Bust
Sheldon-266, die-state IV, the 1804 date obviously a key and even more elusive due to how many collectors pursue S-266 by die-state. For this bold example, rim breaks show plainly over RTY and MERIC. Dies are rotated by about 20 degrees for a coin that makes the cataloger's grade of [XF/corrosion removed], and the surface has been rather nicely recolored with chestnut-brown patina that has olive inflections on the reverse.

Hammer: $1,250
Gold $10-Liberty Head Eagle
Swift cartwheeling luster cuts through plentiful but soft markings across the field of this eye-popping gem. Only a few rim knicks and pronounced scratching across the face of Liberty hold back this coin from a 64 grade.
