Lot #886 - 1826 6 Over 5 SEGS (as described)
Hammer: $475
Large Cents-Liberty Head
Ex-Eliasberg. Newcomb-8, cataloger's grade: AU/surface defects. SEGS indicates a pedigree string of Eliasburg(sp) / B. Max Mehl / William Cutler Atwater and also states "obverse flaw". In addition to the area of roughness at upper left, two small dark scratches at upper right and isolated porosity on the reverse far left are also notable. Despite the relatively small size of the black-and-white photo in the Eliasberg catalog, this coin can be affirmed as lot 563 (May 20-22, 1996). As an early die-state example, the underdigit can be plainly viewed with a loupe, as can relatively beautiful, satiny lustrous surfaces throughout. It is interesting to note that the rarity of N-8 has diminished from R.3 in 1996, to R.2 today.

Lot #844 - 1843 Petite Head - Small Letters NGC MS-61 BN
Hammer: $675
Large Cents-Braided Hair
Newcomb-9, a somewhat common die-marriage that can show up in various interesting die-states. The NGC insert covers up a portion of the rim where a small cud eventually develops but it isn't readily apparent in this instance. The glossy ebony-brown surface is actually not as unattractive as is often implied by the MS-61 numeric grade level, and neither side displays much by way of contact.
