C-3. This lustrous chestnut-brown example shows well-defined hair curls, strong star detail, and a problem-free obverse with a tiny trace of mint red. The reverse wreath remains sharply rendered with clear, undisturbed lettering and attractive lustrous surfaces that retain a bit more red than the obverse. Free of notable marks and displaying pleasing, original surfaces, […]

The surfaces are smooth with no porosity and minimal marks. This is a date that often comes with poor planchet quality. It’s […]

Small Date. This coin displays even wear with strong remaining detail. Surfaces exhibit a deep, natural chocolate-brown patina with darker olive and steel-brown undertones. Minor marks and faint surface roughness are typical for early copper and fully consistent with the grade, with no major distractions to eye appeal.  

Small 8. The overdate is clearly evident, with remnants of the underlying “1” visible beneath the final digit. Liberty’s portrait remains well defined as light, even wear is confined to the highest points, consistent with the assigned grade. The reverse is equally sharp and the surfaces are smooth and natural, displaying attractive silver-gray toning with […]
