That 1826 CBH looks very familiar. I'd bet it's a dealer recycle. I also noted several other CBH's, seated halves, and seated half dimes that looked like recent offerings from dealer
inventories. At least one of these is making its 3rd trip to auction over the past year.

And one Gobrecht $ looks eerily familiar to one that TDN was commenting on earlier this year. But this one isn't slabbed.

The strike on the 1826 is incredible, is this date usually hammered this well, with that much definition in the stars.

Just stay away from that one

Per Stack's:

Description


1826 O-104a. Rarity-3. MS-66 (NGC).

Largely prooflike in appearance, especially on the obverse. Frosty head of Liberty and surrounding fields splashed with varied champagne, peach, violet, and electric blue highlights; the reverse is the same though more satiny than prooflike. A frosty beauty, a coin that deserves to be the sole MS-66* example certified by NGC.

NGC Census: 1; none finer within the variety designation.

Just found these very interesting 1¢ patterns..............


1850 pattern 1¢. J-124e, P-142. Rarity-unique per Judd. Proof-64 (NGC).

Copper. Plain edge. A pattern from dies similar to J-124c, here oriented with the reverse 90° from the left of normal. In copper, this variety is listed as unique in the Judd reference, just one known to exist. Logically, this is at once the highest and finest graded by NGC.

The obverse and reverse have medium toning of a brown and iridescent hue. The striking is needle sharp. An ideal opportunity for the advanced pattern specialist.

NGC Census: 1; none finer.






1851 pattern 1¢. J-131, P-155. Rarity-7+. Proof-65 (PCGS).

Copper nickel. Reeded edge. A lovely specimen of this very rare issue. Both sides are light silver with delicate toning. Well struck. In the absence of elemental analysis, it is not known whether this particular piece was actually struck with an alloy of one tenth silver. The intent was to produce a one-cent piece of significantly lighter weight than the large copper style in use in circulation. By adding one tenth silver to a nickel alloy, a small diameter could be achieved, yet maintain some aspect of intrinsic value. The present piece is important as a basically rare issue and also as the solo finest graded by PCGS.

PCGS Population: 1; none finer.

ttt...give this one another chance, judging by Keets' error find.
