Lot 219
1835. Small date, small 5¢, LM-10, V-7, R-1. SEGS graded MS-65 Prooflike. This one is toned with burgundy and blue hues and we note minor signs of handling underneath the toning. Fairly well struck, and slightly prooflike in the fields as noted on the insert. A coin to be evaluated by prospective purchasers.
Estimated Value $600-700.

Lot 220
1836. Small 5¢, LM-5, V-6, R-2. AU-55. Dark gold toning on both sides, with hints of luster beneath. Solidly struck, with no trace of weakness. The reverse shows clash marks. These Capped Bust half dimes have not seen price increases in this grade in decades, and are becoming more avidly collected by die variety all the time. As offered here, a nearly mint state coin can be purchased for a nominal sum, and we don't expect this to always be the case.
Estimated Value $150-170.
