The 1909-S VDB has ranked as a favorite with collectors ever since the advent of coin boards and coin folders, which made it a popular pastime to collect Lincoln cents by date and mintmark.

1914-D Lincoln Cent. NGC MS64
NGC graded MS64 BR. A satiny near-Gem with medium chocolate-brown and deep red highlights; a beautiful specimen with smooth surfaces and superb eye appeal. A key date rarity in the series, especially as a Choice specimen. At the assigned grade level, the 1914-D Lincoln cent becomes much more important than its counterpart rarity in the series, the 1909-S V.D.B. An exceptional piece that will do justice to any Uncirculated Lincoln cent set (PCGS # 2471)

1955 Lincoln Cent Doubled Die Obverse. NGC MS62
NGC graded MS62 BR. Smooth reddish-brown surfaces with traces of powder-blue in the recesses and attractive satiny luster, especially in the protected areas. Most design features show bold definition. Although some estimates place the mintage at 20,000 or more pieces, PCGS and NGC, considered together, have certified examples fewer than 6,000 occasions including resubmissions. Our question is: where are all the others? Probably the single most eagerly sought doubled die issue in American numismatics (PCGS # 2825)

SOLD: $2,500.00
Lot # 280

1852 Silver Three Cents. NGC MS66
NGC graded MS66. Highly lustrous and fully brilliant with a whisper of faint silver-gray patina on both sides. Nicely struck for the date, though a touch of peripheral weakness is noted in certain stars. Struck from lightly clashed dies. An exceptional example from the early days of the denomination with superior quality and eye appeal (PCGS # 3666)
|
SOLD: $4,250.00
Lot # 282
1858 Silver Three Cents. PCGS PF65
PCGS graded Proof 65. Estimated mintages for 1858 proof three cent silver coins range from between 60 to 75 pieces (Walter Breen, 1977) to 300 plus examples as listed in the 2009 Guide Book. The number is probably somewhere in between, judging from the almost 200 examples certified by PCGS and NGC combined.
A beautiful overlay of deep sea-green and crimson-rose toning does not limit the mirrored reflectivity in the fields. The design elements exhibit razor sharp detailing and virtually no areas reveal hints of weakness. Excessive die polishing has removed a couple of small segments of the star outlines in the lower left obverse quadrant, and associated die striations are noted in the obverse fields. A truly stunning Gem proof (PCGS # 3705)

SOLD: $1,900.00
Lot # 283
1871 Silver Three Cents. NGC PF66
NGC graded Proof 66. A Gem example, not certified cameo, but this is moot, as all are from the same die pair and all are either cameo or non-cameo, take your pick. An outstanding example with medium blue, golden-tan, and iridescent toning over deep mirror surfaces. If you have an eye for quality, contemplate this piece carefully, and then bid on it. Quality never goes out of style, and a quality coin such as this is at once elusive and wonderful to own (PCGS # 3722)
