2851. Lot 33417

Beschreibung:: 1795 50C Two Leaves MS62 NGC. O-130, Low R.5. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. A scarce variety with a low overall condition census, the Newman specimen is plated in Beistle (reverse only) and is tied with the Pittman coin for second finest known. The only finer example is an MS63 NGC piece that last appeared for sale more than a decade ago. This lovely Mint State piece has a full complement of satin luster beneath original pewter-gray patina on both sides. Wisps of pale orange, sky-blue, and amber toning enhance the aesthetic appeal of this example. The surfaces exhibit a few marks, mostly consistent with the grade. A thin scratch on Liberty's neck and cheek must be mentioned, but no other blemishes are worth individual mention. The Newman collection of Flowing Hair half dollars offers variety specialists, date collectors, and type collectors an opportunity to add wonderful examples to their collections. 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 @ $40.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $47,000.00 .

2853. Lot 33416

Beschreibung:: 1795 50C 2 Leaves MS62 NGC. O-124, R.5. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This piece is a lovely example with brilliant luster beneath vivid orange, violet, and blue toning on both sides. The obverse is covered with adjustment marks in various directions, nicely shielded by the ancient toning and best seen with a loupe. Both dies are perfect with no die cracks, clash marks, or other die defects. We believe this to be the finest known 1795 O-124 half dollar, the only recorded Mint State example. It is the Beistle plate coin for Reverse Q. "Colonel" E.H.R. Green was a supporter of numismatic research and is mentioned in the author's foreword to A Register of Half Dollar Die Varieties, published by The Beistle Company in 1929. The author wrote: {blockquote}"This work would not have been brought up to its present completeness had it not been for my friend Mr. E.H.R. Green of South Dartmouth, Mass., who is an ardent collector as well as an advanced student of numismatics. I am very much indebted to Mr. Green for loaning me his entire collection of Half Dollars for checking die varieties, which enabled me to make this work more complete than otherwise. At the same time, it gave me an opportunity when making my plates, to photograph some of his finest and rarest specimens."{/blockquote} Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R.

2855. Lot 33415

Beschreibung:: 1795 50C Two Leaves MS62 NGC. O-119, R.4. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This lovely Mint State 1795 half dollar exhibits full satin luster on both sides with a few trivial haymarks, including one across Liberty's neck, that prevent a higher grade. Light silver-gray appears at the central obverse with album toning changing to russet, violet, turquoise, and amber near the border. The reverse is fully lustrous with light champagne toning that exhibits iridescent splashes. A gorgeous representative of the two-year Flowing Hair design. This example is almost certainly tied for the second finest known 1795 O-119 half dollar behind an MS64 PCGS example that appeared for sale seven years ago. One or two other uncirculated examples of the O-119 die pair may exist. The Eliasberg MS62 may rival The Eric P. Newman specimen. Bidders be warned -- the color and eye appeal of this coin are a match for the earlier described 1795 O-105, lot 3412. 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 @ $35.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $129,250.00 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.

2857. Lot 33414

Beschreibung:: 1795/1795 50C Recut Date, Three Leaves AU58 NGC. O-111, High R.4. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This near-Mint 1795 Three Leaves half dollar sports album toning, light silver-gray centers under splashes of pale gold and peripheral ultramarine toning. Additional sea-green and hazel toning shows on the reverse. The surfaces are mildly reflective. Both sides show the usual small handling marks with more prominent marks near the E in LIBERTY on the obverse and between STATES OF on the reverse. The obverse has a delicate die crack joining stars 3 through 6. The reverse has the usual distinctive die crack across the eagle's left wing and body, with a co-planar reverse die face. Note that the eagle's details below the crack are much sharper than those above the crack. The obverse of this example is plated as Obverse 4 in the Beistle reference. This is an important Guide Book variety that enjoys strong demand. The Overton reference rates the die pair as R.3, but most students of the series believe its rarity to be high R.4, with about 100 surviving examples in all grades. We believe the Newman coin may be the finest known 1795 Three Leaves half dollar. Although an uncertified MS63 example is listed in Overton, we can find no other reference to the coin and are unsure of its existence. Stephen Herrman records a cleaned AU from the Charlton Meyer collection as the finest recently offered for sale. That coin now resides in the Overton Collection. Herrman also lists one XF45 example and a few XF40 coins as having been offered over the last decade. The Eric P. Newman specimen is finer than any of those coins, and represents an extraordinary opportunity for the specialist. 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 @ $400.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $41,125.00 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.

2859. Lot 33413

Beschreibung:: 1795 50C Two Leaves MS63 NGC. O-108a, R.4. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Brilliant satin luster, uncommon to the Flowing Hair half dollars, shines through a pewter-gray patina and the delicate gold and iridescent toning of this Select Mint State specimen. This is the finest known survivor of the 1795 O-108 die pairing. The reverse of this example appears as Reverse F on the Beistle plate. Trivial surface marks are scattered over both sides of this piece, preventing an even higher certified grade. A slightly deficient strike is evident at the usual locations, at the back of Liberty's head and on the eagle's head and breast. However, the centering is excellent with complete borders on both sides. We believe that this example from the Eric P. Newman collection is the only Mint State 1795 O-108 half dollar that exists today. The obverse has raised die defect lines at the first star. Their origin is not understood, but they serve as an instant identifying feature for the die variety. This example shows the usual horizontal die crack from the border through star 15 to the bust. Another crack, unlisted in the Overton reference, connects the base of 17. A further delicate die crack appears on Liberty's profile, across the chin to her mouth, extending a short distance into the field between her lips. We have never seen that crack nor any description of it. The reverse has a rim break or developing rim cud below the right ribbon that is seen on all known examples. A crack joins the tops of AME, as described in Overton for the late die state. 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 @ $75.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $82,250.00 . Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.
