Lot #875 - 1810/09 PCGS XF details/cleaned
Large Cents-Classic Head
Sheldon-281, no clash marks and thus suggestive of an earlier strike. This Sheldon variety always seems to come a little softly struck yet the headband shows plainly and most definition within the strands of hair are nicely rendered. PCGS states "cleaned" but a more thorough inspection suggests that corrosion has been relieved from the surface, the whole coin later recolored nicely and nearly to the state of an original piece.

Hammer: $1,400
Half Cents-Liberty Cap, Head Facing Right
Land And Home Collection. Cohen-9 but the edge cannot be seen due to the old PCGS slab insert. A die crack enters the Liberty cap near 9:00 on the obverse and suggests the coin was struck between die states 1.0 and 2.0. An exquisite surface possesses slightly glossy Hershey patina form edge to edge, and bold details on the obverse. HALF CENT on the reverse has been mostly effaced by good, honest wear.
