William III (1694-1702), Shilling, 1700, taller 0s in date line, fifth bust right, legend surrounding, GVLIELMVS III DEI GRA. Rev, crowned cruciform shields, five strings to Irish harp, Lion of Nassau at centre, date flanking top crown, reads MAG BR FRA ET HIB REX (S.3516; Bull. 1150 ESC. 1121). Attractive lustrous toning with mint bloom, some haymarking on both sides, common for the type. Free from any surface markings with a balanced and detailed portrait. Reverse, equally impressive, other than a few hairlines, superb. Near extremely fine.

Found on the Baldwin's site. Nice coin. -Editor

1809/'6' Classic Head Half Cent

1809/'6' Classic Head Half Cent. C-5. Rarity-1. 9/Inverted 9. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC.

A popular variety of the first year 1809 Classic Head half cent that was long thought to be an overdate, Cohen-5 has since been reclassified as having the primary digit 9 in the date punched over an inverted 9. Remnants of the underdigit are clearly evident with the aid of a loupe. This variety barely edges our C-6 as the most readily obtainable of the issue with William R. Eckberg accounting for approximately 4,500 survivors in all grades in his 2019 reference The Half Cent, 1793-1857: The Story of America's Greatest Little Coin. The author further asserts, "UNCs are plentiful; probably at least 60 exist." Technically sound and visually appealing, the PCGS/CAC MS-64 BN example offered here will appeal to discerning numismatists, be they type collectors or early copper enthusiasts.

From the upcoming Stack's Bowers sale of the collection of Silas Stanley Roberts. -Editor
