Vine and bars edge. A choice example on a smooth medium brown planchet. A nearly perfect representation of one of America’s earliest and most desirable type coins. . . 14,500.00 1820 MS (67) Superb!

1853 MS (68) We recently acquired an un¬ paralleled group of 1853 Large Cents -a “mini-hoard” that has no doubt remained intact since the year of issue! The amazing assortment includes four MS 68’s and three MS 69’s, each with full, glowing
mint red! . 4,250.00
1853 MS (69) Amazing! 100% full original mint red color on both obverse and reverse. It is highly unusual to find a full red large cent as nice as the day it was made. This is a rare opportunity to purchase the best. Each of the pieces in our stock is of equal or superior quality to the MS 69 offered in our 1980 ANA Sale and sold for $5,000. An MS 69 1855 also sold in that sale for $10,000! Understandably, records for such high quality examples are few. The prices realized by our ANA examples should serve as ample testimony to the quality and desirability of any Large Cent to which we assign this lofty grade. Each of these spectacular coins will possess runaway potential when and if they are of¬ fered at public auction sale. . 5,450.00
