1246<br />

1246 1950 50 Cents. NGC PR67. Completely brilliant<br />

with problem-free mirrors and sharply defined devices.<br />

A scarce and desirable first-year Franklin proof that is<br />

typically found in lesser grades. (photo)<br />

Est. 900-1,100<br />

1247 1951 50 Cents. PCGS PR64 Cameo. Impeccable<br />

mirror depth is instantly identifiable with pleasing<br />

frost on the central devices and peripheral lettering.<br />

Housed in an older green PCGS holder.<br />

Est. 350-450<br />

1249<br />

1249 1798 1 Dollar. XF Details, Damaged. B-24, R.2. A<br />

sharply defined example of this early Heraldic Eagle<br />

half dollar with attractive gray-tan coloration over<br />

both sides that lightens at areas with heavier wear.<br />

One pock mark to the right of Liberty’s face and several<br />

short pinscratches on the reverse would prevent<br />

problem-free certification. Still, above-average for the<br />

type and an affordable way to obtain an example with<br />

most of Liberty’s hair detail remaining. (photo)<br />

Est. 1,800-2,200<br />

1248<br />

1248 1795 Two Leaves - Small Eagle 1 Dollar. XF Details,<br />

Cleaned - Damaged. B-1, R.1. 27.01gms. A<br />

boldly detailed example of this avidly collected “small<br />

eagle” type with mostly untoned surfaces that hold<br />

some hairlines and edges that show some apparent<br />

damage. Given the overall appearance, authenticity has<br />

been questioned - and PCGS agreed, offering a “No<br />

Decision” upon return. As such, this example will be<br />

sold as is, with no returns. (photo)<br />

Est. 1,000-3,000<br />

1250<br />

1250 1798 1 Dollar. Fine Details, Cleaned. B-8, R.2.<br />

Free of all but the slightest contact marks with an attractive<br />

veil of patina over both sides. Underlying<br />

brightness suggests a past cleaning, but given the high<br />

percentage of survivors that have seen at least this level<br />

of cleaning, mild offenders, such as the present, are<br />

often allowed to slide by at the grading services. As<br />

such, this borderline “market acceptable” example<br />

may or may not receive detail-free grading at the leading<br />

grading services. (photo) Est. 800-1,000<br />
