2801. Lot 33443

Beschreibung:: 1812 50C MS65 S NGC. CAC. O-103, R.1. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This delightful MS65 S example possesses terrific eye appeal to complement its high technical grade. An iridescent ring of album toning immediately engages the eye. The brilliant centers burst with luster. The dentils and central devices are sharp and the surfaces are without a hint of any disturbance worth mention. The 1812 O-103 is a common die variety. In Gem condition, with staggering eye appeal the word "common" is totally inappropriate. The obverse design of the half dollar was modified slightly in 1812, with some subtle modifications to the drapery and higher relief on the hair curls. A large mintage of 1.6 million pieces was accomplished, with 10 die varieties known for the date. Stephen Herrman has located one example of the 1812 O-103 in MS66 and four pieces certified MS65. The Newman coin fits snuggly within this elite group. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $3.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $44,062.50 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.

2802. Lot 33442

Beschreibung:: 1812/1 50C Small 8 MS64 NGC. CAC. O-102a, R.2. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This impressive Choice specimen comes with classic album toning. While clash marks are standard for the issue, the crisp strike, clean surfaces and stupendous eye appeal are not. Vibrant mint luster shines through iridescent shades of lavender-gray, golden-brown, and cobalt-blue toning. In order to assist with the large mintage of half dollars in 1812, two unused obverse dies from 1811 were overdated by punching a 2 over the final digit of the date. One of these varieties used a Large 8 in the date (O-101) and the other used a Small 8 (O-102, the present coin). Both varieties are extremely popular with collectors. The only small 8 found among the ten die pairs of 1812 is on the O-102, offered here. Research suggests that only three or four 1812/1 Small 8's match or exceed the overall quality of the Newman specimen. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $10.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $22,325.00 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.

2803. Lot 33441

Beschreibung:: 1811 50C Small 8 MS66+ NGC. CAC. O-110a, R.1. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This well-detailed Premium Gem is a bit lighter in the centers than the last few offerings but with the same depth of undisturbed luster. The album toning displays hints of champagne-gold and violet toning at the peripheries. The strike and surfaces are impeccable. Stephen Herrman lists one example of an 1811 O-110 in MS66 and another Premium Gem specimen of the O-110a. The Plus designation gives this coin a slight edge over those examples and solidifies its claim to the number one spot in the Condition Census for the variety. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $3.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $44,062.50 .

2806. Lot 33440

Beschreibung:: 1810 50C MS66 NGC. CAC. O-108, R.3. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. We are tempted to repeat our description of the previous lot. The two coins are cut from the same cloth of quality, appearance and desirability. This delightful Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved surfaces, with no mentionable distractions. Oceans of mint luster shine through layers of bluish-gray and champagne-gold toning. The eye appeal is staggering. This coin, of course, is a candidate for the finest collection or Registry Set. A substantial mintage of nearly 1.3 million Capped Bust half dollars was achieved in 1810, with 10 die varieties known for the date. This coin represents the somewhat scarce O-108 variety, identified by the close proximity of star 13 to the curl and the widely spaced 50 C in the denomination. A thin die crack shows to the left of the date on the obverse. The reverse is severely cracked, with one crack bisecting the reverse from 0 in the denomination, through the eagle, banner, and E in STATES. Another crack extends from the denomination to the left, through the leaves and letters in UNITED STAT, to join the first crack at the rim. The O-108 is very rare in high grades. The Newman coin is tied with the Eliasberg/Kaufman specimen for the title of "Finest Known." Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $ 5.00 ; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $64,625.00 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.

2808. Lot 33439

Beschreibung:: 1808 50C MS66+ NGC. CAC. O-108a, R.3. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This high-end Premium Gem features sharply detailed design elements, most unusual on an 1808 half dollar, which typically comes softly struck. Vibrant mint luster shines through attractive shades of silver-gray, lavender, and champagne-gold toning. The obverse shows some dramatic clash marks around the date and in the right field. This coin shows indescribably rich toning. It is set apart from the preceding jaw-dropping MS65 examples in the same way that a mature observer might prefer Paul Newman to Brad Pitt or Lauren Bacall to a young Audrey Hepburn. In all events, this coin is a "must-have" for advanced specialists and Registry Set collectors. A large mintage of more than 1.3 million Capped Bust half dollars was accomplished in 1808, with 10 die varieties known for the date. Stephen Herrman's survey of auction appearances lists no example of an O-108 finer than MS61, and no O-108a finer than MS62. This coin is far and away the finest known example of the variety. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $4.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

2810. Lot 33438

Beschreibung:: 1808 50C MS65+ NGC. O-102a, R.2. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. From the same miraculous nest as the previous 1807 O-114 and 1808/7, this high-end Gem is sharply detailed throughout. The surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster and the brilliant centers are framed by vivid shades of lavender and golden-brown toning. More delightful album toning. The surfaces are pristine, with no signs of handling or contact with other coins. Need we add that the eye appeal is outstanding? Stephen Herrman's survey lists a single appearance of an O-102a in MS66 and four in MS65. This coin is tied for second place in the Condition Census for the variety and may hold that position by itself. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $5.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $30,550.00 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.
