Here's an 1800 LC I got last year for my Type set. I was browsing the lot boxes at Heritage's June Long Beach auction and saw the piece. It's in an OGH PCGS VF25BN holder. I'm a sucker for green copper and decided to bid on it. Low and behold I won it. The images are by Bob Campbell and I think he did an excellent job on it.
Really nice!!! You must have a great looking type set. I would love to see it! My type set does not go back that far because it would cost too much.
Just for your information, it is the S-212 with the die cracks on the bottom (not PMD) and the top of the lettering pushed up against the top. Here is one from the Holmes collection with a planchet lamination as well.
Thank you for the information Marshall, and thank you everyone for your kind comments. Here's a link to my Type Set, I hope you like it. http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetGallery.aspx?PeopleSetID=31610
The obverse scratches would have bothered me. That is probably why you won with your bid. Still a very nice piece with considerably less damage than mine.
That was ridiculous. Thank you for sharing your set. It is to die for. The 1917 SLQ is one of the nicest coins I've ever seen in a 63 holder, and don't even get me started on the Morgan.
That is quite a nice example of the S-212. Congratulations. S-212 is a R-3 die pairing, and the inner spike at C of 'Cent' is one of the key diagnostics, besides what Marshall mentioned. A bit difficult to gauge the color from the picture, and I am sure the photo exaggerates even minute surface imperfections. This is my example of the exact same die variety.
