Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state III, with a fine die crack arcing from the dentils through the N in UNITED and the wreath to the ribbon bow and another from the dentils through the M to the leaf below.

 Lot 366 - united states draped bust cents - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841800 S-199 R4 G5. Off Center. Several points sharper but lightly corroded, strongest in the fields and protected areas. No marks or verdigris. The toning is a rather glossy light chocolate brown on the devices and darker olive brown in the fields and protected areas. The two-tone appearance accents the devices and the eye appeal of this cent is decent in spite of the roughness. MDS, Breen state IV, with a tiny cud break in the dentils over the F in OF (this cud would not show if the strike was centered on the planchet). Struck at least 5% off center to K-10 leaving some letters of the legend tight against the edge of the planchet. The date is strong and the legends are clear.

 Lot 377 - united states draped bust cents - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841801 S-219 R2 3-Error Reverse VG8. Slightly sharper but there is a cut on the rim over AT in STATES and a smaller one under the fraction, but neither one reaches inside the dentils. In addition there are faint hairline scratches on the portrait and a couple very shallow pit marks in the field before the face while the remainder of the planchet is smooth. Glossy medium chocolate brown with traces of lighter brown in protected areas on the reverse. EDS-MDS, Breen state II. There are dull die clashmarks through ERTY but no die cracks on the reverse.
