Noe-1. 65.0 grains. Originally toned with lilac-gray and charcoal patina, the design is delicately executed but shows an uneven wear pattern with the top of the date and portions of the peripheral legends weak or missing from lack of striking pressure. A planchet clip is noted on the obverse at 9 o'clock and a Z-shaped scratch is located just beneath.         Population: 5 in 15, 13 higher.         $1,950 undated (1670-75) St. Patrick's Farthing, Silver, AU 55 PCGS. Struck in Dublin circa 1670-75, this pattern is now considered extremely rare. One of only two graded, (only about ten are known), the fields impart a bright, semi-reflective sheen with a hint of patina. Only the slightest rubbing is seen on the highpoints. Listed on page 20 of the 1998 ''Guide Book''.         Population: 1 in 55, none higher.       $10,500 London Elephant Token AU 55 PCGS. The most common of the Elephant tokens is the London type, which shares a common obverse die with the Carolina and New England Elephant tokens. Unlike it's counterparts, the London variety does not bear a date but it is believed they were struck around 1692-1694. This piece is well struck, well centered, and will make a nice addition to your collection.         Population: 3 in 55, 13 higher.         $1,475 Undated (1694) Elephant Token MS 62 Brown PCGS. Thick Flan. Both sides of this token are nice looking with a rich chestnut brown color and boldly defined devices. A popular Colonial issue that is very scarce in mint state grades. Population: 3 in 62, 5 higher.    $2,700 1694 Carolina Elephant Token, PROPRIETORS, VG 8 PCGS. Probably struck in England and intended as tokens to heighten the interest in Carolina plantations. The O in PROPRIETORS is struck over an E. This piece is very difficult to locate in any grade. The mahogany-brown surfaces are well worn, but each side is exceptionally smooth, and the coin is well centered. Listed on page 26 of the 1998 ''Guide Book.'' Population: 1 in 8, none higher.      $4,600 1723 Hibernia Farthing MS 63 PCGS. Silver Pattern. Originally intended for use in Ireland, the Hibernia halfpenny and farthing was eventually exported to the American colonies. This pattern example is struck in silver with deeply reflective surfaces, and razor-sharp definition. Some natural patina has gathered in the protected areas overall. An exceedingly rare opportunity for the specialist of early Americana.         Population: 1 in 63, none higher.       $5,950 1766 Pitt Halfpenny Token XF 40 PCGS. Sharply struck, the full face of the ship's lion masthead is clear. Some minute circulation marks are noted on the cheek. Otherwise, a clean, well centered, and well defined coin. Population: 5 in 40, 17 higher.   $1,625 1760 Voce Populi  Farthing XF40 PCGS, Brown         Population: 1 in 40, none higher.       $1,850 1760 Voce Populi Half-Penny MS 63 Brown PCGS. Exceptionally smooth chocolate-brown surfaces, a bold strike, and a well centered example. These coins are seldom seen this nice.         Population: 2 in 63, 1 higher.  $2,700 1787 New Jersey Large Planchet VF20 PCGS, Brown         Population: 3 in 20, 22 higher.         $360 1785 Vermonts Cent Fine 12 PCGS. Well centered, the striking details are a bit irregular on each side. Population: 3 in 12, 3 higher. $1,200 1789 Mott Token AU 55 PCGS. Thick Planchet. Another example, but a slightly higher grade, this one displays an even chocolate-brown color and excellent definition in the centers.         Population: 2 in 55, 8 higher.  $1,150 1789 Mott Token MS 62 PCGS. Thick Planchet, Plain Edge. Deep, glossy, chocolate-brown surfaces overall. Softly struck at the top of the shield at the center of the eagle, as usual for this variety.         Population: 2 in 62, 2 higher.  $2,000 1789 Mott Token AU 50 PCGS. Although dated 1789, many believe these were actually struck around 1839. Still, an interesting example of our early American coinage.         $2,175 1783 Washington Copper restrike PR65 PCGS, Brown         Population: 7 in 65, 1 higher.  $675 (undated) Washington  Double Head Cent AU55 PCGS, Brown         Population: 9 in 55, 4 higher.  $650 1791 Washington Cent AU55 PCGS, Brown         Population: 9 in 55, 21 higher.         $1,175 Undated (1795) Washington Liberty and Security Penny AU 50 PCGS. A very attractive Washington piece with a smooth, chocolate-brown color on both sides. The fields are free of troubling carbon flecks and there are only a couple of minor marks that are noticed. Listed on page 62 of the 1998 ''Guide Book''. Population: 2 in 50, 22 higher. $1,075 1795 North Wales Halfpenny VF20 PCGS, Brown         Population: 5 in 20, 2 higher.  $515 Washington Success medal, large. VF30 PCGS         Population: 1 in 30, 5 higher.  $380 1776 Continental Dollar AU 58 PCGS. CURRENCY, Pewter, EG FECIT. The first silver dollar sized coin of the United States. The coin was probably struck in Philadelphia, and the central design of interlocked _link_s was suggested by Benjamin Franklin...an exceptional specimen of early American numismatics. The pewter-gray color still shows much underlying mint luster and there are virtually no noticeable abrasions or distractions. The reverse exhibits a circular die crack, and has rotated about 220 degrees. Population: 4 in 58, 16 higher. $14,500 1783 Nova Constellatio Pointed Rays XF45 PCGS, Brown         Population: 4 in 45, 1 higher.  $760 HALF CENTS 1795 PLAIN EDGE XF40  PCGS, Brown         Population: 5 in 40, 24 higher.         $3,150 1804 MS 64 Brown NGC. Plain 4, Stemless Wreath. Very sharply struck, the obverse has an even olive-brown appearance while the reverse shows a bright cobalt-blue caste to the brown color.         Population: 16 in 64, 1 higher.         $1,750 PROOF HALF CENTS 1836 PR64, Red and Brown PCGS. From the Pittman Collection Sale, this mostly red copper displays twinkling mirrors and just a few tiny spots that may preclude full Gem status but do not detract from the overall appeal. Mintage: 42.         Population: 4 in 64, 3 higher.  $8,100 HALF CENTS 1855 MS64 PCGS, Red Population: 116 in 64, 15 higher.   $975 LARGE CENTS 1793 WREATH VINE/BARS VG10 PCGS, Brown         Population: 19 in 10, 167 higher.       $1,625 1812 AU55 NGC, Brown Population: 7 in 55, 23 higher.    $1,900 1813 MS62 NGC, Brown Population: 3 in 62, 4 higher.     $3,675 1826 MS 62 Brown NGC. A nice uncirculated example of this early date. Population: 3 in 62, 16 higher.         $1,300 1834 MS 62 Red and Brown ANACS. Lovely olive-brown color covers both sides of this conditionally rare piece.         $400 1840 AU 58 NGC. Small Date, N.4. Even brown color and evidence of slight circulation. Scarce. Population: 4 in 58, 30 higher.     $325 1847 MS64 PCGS, Brown Population: 11 in 64, 3 higher.   $535 1850 MS65 NGC, Brown Population: 44 in 65, 11 higher.   $515 1852 MS65 NGC, Brown Population: 57 in 65, 21 higher.   $515 PROOF LARGE CENTS 1850 Cent, Pollock-146, R.7, PR 64 NGC. Listed only on the Judd ''Appendix'', the obverse is a blank die having milling at the edge, the reverse shows the denomination CENT above and the date 1850 below. A rosette is on either side and the center is unperforated. Struck in copper alloy with a plain edge. The surfaces exhibit mild reflectivity and a moderate amount of original patina has gathered on each side. Population: 1 in 64, 1 higher.  $3,950 FLYING EAGLE CENTS 1858 MS65 PCGS Population: 103 in 65, 17 higher.        $2,275 PROOF FLYING EAGLE CENTS 1857 PR64 NGC Mintage: 485.         Population: 10 in 64, 2 higher.         $9,600 1858 Large letters PR63 PCGS         Population: 1 in 63, 20 higher.         $6,250 1858 Large letters PR 64 NGC. Well mirrored, colorfully toned, and conforming to all the diagnostics for proofs of this brief three-year type. The proof Flying Eagle issues from 1857 and 1858 can be considered vastly underrated in comparison to their better known first year counterpart. The 1858 Large Letters is by a small margin the scarcest variety, with Breen reporting that fewer than 20 have been traced, although we suspect the accurate number may be 30 or more pieces. Only a few minor carbon flecks on either side keep this impressive example from a higher category.      $8,400 1858 Small letters PR64 NGC Mintage: 280.         Population: 3 in 64, none higher.       $8,400 INDIAN CENTS 1859 MS64 PCGS Population: 235 in 64, 70 higher.        $750 1860 MS65 NGC Population: 84 in 65, 18 higher.  $595 1864 Bronze MS65 NGC, Red Population: 38 in 65, 15 higher.      $625 1864 Bronze MS 66 Red PCGS. First year of the new bronze composition and an important coin as such. Of additional rarity and importance as early Indian cents are very elusive in the better grades of uncirculated, especially with the original mint luster still fully intact. This is an attractive, lustrous piece that shows a few clash marks on the obverse. Population: 21 in 66, 1 higher.   $1,350 1865 MS65 NGC, Red Population: 20 in 65, 3 higher.      $1,200 1865 MS65 NGC, Red Population: 20 in 65, 3 higher.      $810 1871 MS64 NGC, Brown Population: 23 in 64, 10 higher.   $675 1871 MS65 Red and Brown NGC. A lustrous example of this scarce early date in the Indian series. Population: 44 in 65, 5 higher.      $1,675 1873 Closed 3 MS 64 Red PCGS. A strongly lustrous piece with predominantly orange-gold color. A few flyspecks limit the grade but no the eye appeal of this neat copper.         Population: 5 in 64, 10 higher.         $2,725 1874 MS65 NGC, Red Population: 16 in 65, 2 higher.      $1,675 1875 MS64 PCGS, Red Population: 31 in 64, 26 higher.    $1,200 1875 MS65 PCGS, Red Population: 22 in 65, 4 higher.     $2,700 1880 MS65 NGC, Red Population: 10 in 65, 7 higher.      $660 1881 MS65 NGC, Red Population: 23 in 65, 4 higher.      $650 1884 MS65 NGC, Red Population: 19 in 65, 5 higher.      $810 1896 MS65 PCGS, Red Population: 29 in 65, 8 higher.     $920 1909 MS66 PCGS, Red Population: 80 in 66, 2 higher.     $625 PROOF INDIAN CENTS 1859 PR 64 PCGS. A scarce proof
