Warren Thorne Legacy Date Set (CS) 的钱币相册
Heritage Auctions Description (April, 2020): Satiny orange-gold mint luster appears unblemished on this remarkably high-grade Large Letters type coin. There is no carbon spotting, and the only interruption in the smoothness of the fields is a thing die crack that arcs through the eagle's tailfeathers. The strike is sharp, with particular note given to the tailfeathers and the wreath, including the bowknot.
CAC/EEPS; Rick Snow's Description (June 2020): Full strike. One of the finest known examples. As a one-year type coin, it is a highly important coin. Only 7 examples graded with none higher. Ex: Jasper Mantooth Collection.
Stacks Bowsers Auction Listing (June 2020): Here is a magnificent 1862 Indian cent, from the copper-nickel, Oak Wreath series of 1861 through 1864. The surfaces are essentially flawless, with subtle prooflike reflectivity in the fields and undisturbed frosty texture across the devices. A thin die crack is noted at the tip of Liberty's bust and through the left reverse wreath, but the devices remain nicely defined for the issue. The attractive surfaces are golden-tan with subtle accents of deeper bronze patina throughout. A small area of dark toning on Liberty's hair ribbon will help in tracing this superior piece through future cabinets. This is the sole finest 1862 cent graded by PCGS or NGC, and is tied with the very finest known across the entire Indian cent series. It is an ideal candidate for a high-end PCGS Registry Set of Indian cents or 19th century type coins. It simply cannot be improved upon.
CAC; Heritage Auctions Description (July 2008): The overall detail is crisp, including four complete diamonds on Liberty's ribbon, and the carefully preserved surfaces are vibrant with only slight variations in the prevailing copper-orange, lemon-yellow, and tan-gold shadings. Previously housed in a green label holder (as MS67) that showed an Eagle Eye Photo Seal sticker at the time of the 2008 Heritage sale. Coin was regraded to MS67+ and reholdered prior to August 2019 Heritage Auction. Ex: The Stewart Blay Collection of Indian Cents; Ex: The Joseph C. Thomas Collection, Ex: Estate of Robert R. Rollins Collection.
EEPS; Stack’s Bowers description (8/22): A phenomenal coin that is not only tied for CC#1 for the circulation strike 1902, but it also one of the finest Indian cents of all types and issues certified by PCGS. It is a virtually pristine coin with a smooth, frosty texture that is devoid of even the most trivial blemishes. Fully original mint color is generally medium rose with blushes of pale red evident as the coin rotates under a light. Striking detail is impressively sharp and the eye appeal is nothing short of outstanding. Simply put it would be difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a more delectable example of the 1902 Indian cent.
Heritage Auctions Listing Info (August 2020): Distinctly copper-orange surfaces glow with radiant mint luster. The cheek and adjacent fields are remarkably clean and carbon-free. A single tick appears left of the chin. Most importantly, this represents one of the three top-graded MS67+ Red submissions at PCGS.
CAC; Heritage Auctions Description (January 2025): Sharp definition spans the design elements, with faint die polish lines in the fields that attest to a very early die state. The bright copper-gold color is original, and neither side has a single notable blemish. A party of one at the top of the Condition Census, the Whispering Pines 1937-S cent surpasses even the most exceptional challengers for finest known. The quality here is simply stunning. It is also the only one of the top-grade specimens with CAC endorsement, leaving no debate regarding its status as the finest of them. Ex: Blay-Whispering Pines.
