Black Cat - Complete Cents Type Set (1793-present) 的钱币相册
CAC - Smooth rich brown surfaces show hints of violet and blue, and ample mint red still clings to the protected recesses of the devices, particularly on the reverse. Both sides display a swirling cartwheel luster when rotated in a light, which is RARE for an early copper, especially one that has toned to a BN designation. Crisply struck, all of Liberty’s hair curls and drapery folds are fully defined, as are the intricate leaf details on the wreath.
CAC - This Premium Gem proof is stunning. Walter Breen discussed this piece in his Half Cent Encyclopedia: "At least one has the same kind of fiery brilliance as the 1841's; I have not seen this piece recently enough to verify if it also has the peculiar edge of the 1840 coins on this stock [Ex Charles A. Cass, "Empire": 107.] Others are more subdued in color, even when mint red." Richard T. Coleman, Jr. has extended the provenance of this piece back to the 1895 Richard B. Winsor sale of the Chapman brothers. A hint of light brown that has formed on the fiery orange surfaces of this amazing piece. Ex: Donald G. Partrick Collection
CAC - "The surfaces have faded from mint color magnificently, blending electric blue, pale violet, rose, and gold tones that enflame under direct light and mellow with indirect light to a perfectly placid deep tan. The lightest color, that closest to mint red, surrounds the peripheral legends. Deeper tones halo the date and LIBERTY on the obverse, and appear to pull away from the legends on the reverse. The fields are lively and reflective, vigorous with luster and prooflike in texture, framed by high upset rims on both sides. The detail is definitively raised, showing each engraved hair strand and leaf vein. The beaded borders are boldly rounded, each fully defined but for a small group in the upper left obverse." Ex. Charles J. Dupont, D. Brent Pogue Collection
CAC - A surfeit of frost adds warm appeal to exquisitely preserved surfaces. With bountiful cartwheel luster and abundant persisting mint color. The obverse fields have barely faded to variegated pale olive and gold, a colorful contrast to the red that remains around all design elements and within Liberty's hair. The reverse is more even, a uniform frosty light brown that still reveals abundant faded mint color. The fields of both sides are nearly immaculate.
CAC - Tied for Finest Cameo Proof at PCGS (6/21). "lovely golden-tan surfaces have deeply mirrored fields that frame the highly lustrous and sharply detailed devices on this Superb Gem Cameo proof". Ex: Perfection 2
CAC - The surfaces are smooth, serene and border on perfection. The finish combines bright reflectivity in the fields with a soft satin texture to the devices, resulting in the coveted Cameo rating from PCGS. Fully struck with gorgeous reddish-orange color
