- Undated 1C Washington Double Head Cent MS61 Brown NGC. Baker-6, W-11200, R.2. The Double Head cents are undated, though Bowers suggests they were made in Birmingham no earlier than 1820, long after the Conder token era. Produced in quantity (Rulau and Fuld estimate as many as 50,000 pieces) and exported to the United States, they circulated as one cent coins alongside the Hard Times tokens of the 1830s. As a result, Mint State survivors are rare, and no Red and Brown pieces have been certified by NGC or PCGS (3/14). This example is designated Brown, but exhibits a remarkably substantial copper-red hue beneath light burgundy patina. The strike is bold and the preservation is excellent on this truly exceptional coin. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,997.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Draped Bust, No Button MS64+ Brown NGC. Baker-2B, Vlack 15-K, R.6. Struck about 1820, according to Rulau and Fuld, this rare variety is easily attributed by a heavy die break below the date that runs from the rim between the 7 and the 8, through the bottom loops of the 8 and the 3, and back to the rim. This is the only use of Vlack's obverse die 15, though reverse K is also paired with obverse 16 and the MELBOURNE mule, dated 1851, which depicts a kangaroo. This piece is boldly struck, with excellent surface preservation and outstanding visual appeal. Intermingled medium brown hues accent glossy burgundy patina on each side. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,937.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Small Military Bust, Engrailed Edge AU55 NGC. Baker-4B, Vlack 1-A, W-10150, R.6. Baker-4B is unique in that it exhibits an engrailed (or corded) edge, whereas all other Washington Military Bust coppers exhibit a plain edge. Both small bust varieties (corded and plain edge) are significantly scarcer than their large bust counterpart, and the engrailed edge variant is the rarer of the two. Struck from terminal dies, with numerous prominent cracks seen across the obverse, this piece displays medium auburn-brown patina over smooth surfaces, with nearly complete detail on the central devices. Only one example has graded numerically finer at NGC (4/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $940.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Large Military Bust AU55 NGC. Baker-4, Vlack 5-D, W-10190, R.1. Struck in copper with a plain edge, possibly around 1820, as suggested by Rulau and Fuld. The initials of the die cutter, Thomas Wells Ingram, and the painter whose artwork was adapted for use on the coin, Edward Savage, are seen in the lower reverse field. A defective left crossbar on the W of WASHINGTON and speckling on the reverse rock identify this piece as being struck from Vlack's dies 5-D. The devices are sharp, with only a touch of wear seen upon close examination. Light auburn hues complement the rich burgundy patina on each side, with smooth, problem-free surfaces. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $705.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Large Military Bust MS63 Brown NGC. Baker-4, Vlack 6-E, W-10200, R.1. Washington Military Bust coppers are dated 1783, but were likely struck no earlier than 1820, according to Bowers and Fuld. Robert Vlack describes nine die varieties for the large bust variant, with 6-E being determined in part by striking weakness on CE of INDEPENDENCE. This piece is boldly detailed at the centers, though the reverse dentils are indistinct. Substantial copper-red luster shines through the rich burgundy patina on each side, delivering exceptional visual appeal. This example exhibits a 180 degree die rotation, and is tied for the finest certified at NGC (4/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $5,287.50.

- 1796 TOKEN Myddelton Token PR63 Brown NGC. Breen-1074, W-8900, R.7. 170.6 grains. NGC reports that this example is 99% copper and 1% trace elements, not surprising for a product of Matthew Boulton. In his 1875 colonial reference, The Early Coins of America, Sylvester S. Crosby described these pieces as "unsurpassed" for their beauty of design and execution. However, that was apparently a concern to Boulton, who identified these pieces as halfpence. On February 12, 1796, he wrote to Myddleton about the design: {blockquote}"I must acknowledge that for so small a piece as a halfpenny [sic], there are too many figures, too much intricacy, & too little Simplicity which is a beauty in Medals: moreover it will make the Dies rather too Expensive & take more time than I fear you can allow. Copper � pence will chiefly pass through the hands of unlettered [sic] persons & the device should be such as to be understood at first sight."{/blockquote} This impressive proof reproduces Myddelton's design concept in copper, with fully mirrored fields and bold design motifs. Both sides exhibit mahogany and blue-steel surfaces that show inconsequential hairlines. A delightful example of this rarity. Ex: Roper Collection (Stack's, 12/1983), lot 350; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $21,150.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
