 Lot 329 - united states draped bust cents - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841797 S-133 R5 Stemless Wreath VG10. A couple points sharper, perhaps even better on the obverse, but there are a few light contact marks on the obverse. The notable ones are some very fine hairline scratches across the date, a few more in the field left of the lower curls, and a rim nick left of the lower end of the hair ribbon. Only the rim nick is visible without the aid of a glass and the eye appeal of this cent is quite nice for the grade. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown with a few splashes of slightly darker olive brown toning on the lower half of the obverse. LDS, Breen state IV late, with a clear radial die crack from the rim over the bust tip to the neck near the bust. Struck on a planchet that shows partial diagonal reeding, Breen's planchet type V. A very nice example of a tough die variety. Graded F12 net VG10 and tied for CC#9 in the Noyes census, his photo #28067. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

 Lot 345 - united states draped bust cents - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #841798 S-165 R4 Large 8, Style II Hair F15. Five points sharper but there is a patch of microscopic roughness hidden in the hair near the ear. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a couple light contact marks under LI and into the hair, a rim nick under the 79, and a light rim bruise under the right side of the denominator. Rather glossy steel and olive brown blended with reddish chocolate toning in the hair were the microscopic roughness resides. Nicely struck MDS Breen state II, with die clashmarks at the throat but an uncracked reverse. The second T in STATES was first punched inverted, then corrected, and the top of the inverted T is clear. A nice example of a variety that's difficult to find in grades better than VG.
