<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 10773881, member: 42034&quot;]Once many years ago I bought by mail &amp; returned an 1805/4 Bust half in similar grade.&nbsp; This was when I was a teenager in the 70&#039;s and the coin was a little cheaper. I ended up eventually buying an 1803 half and later an AU 1806.</p><p><br /></p><p>The stolen 1795 Large Cent is the most recent 1795 sold by Heritage July 15, 2022 and wasn&#039;t particularly cheap for the type nor undergraded*.&nbsp; It&#039;s a common variety apparently and also a coin (&#039;95 LG cent) that I&#039;ve tried to buy unsuccessfully in the past.&nbsp; Due to the dent on the back I think I can easily remember this specimen.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1805 $5 gold is also a very notable and important coin.&nbsp; Personally, I&#039;d prefer an ms-62 in 1798 but this is a really nice 61 and a slightly better date at 1805. It too was sold by Heritage but in Feb 27, 2014 at $14.1 K.&nbsp; It&#039;s unique because of the little ding in the middle of the shield vertical lines Reverse.&nbsp; Possibly this downgraded it from a 62?</p><p><br /></p><p>All very solid collector coins.&nbsp; Not regrading nor reslabbing, nor a sale to a collector IMO.&nbsp; Any collector who could afford all this stuff <u>together</u> would definitely upgrade on some of them: tho individually they&#039;re all very nice.&nbsp; I&#039;d guess they were being sent to a specialist dealer in Early American coinage?&nbsp; I can definitely keep a lookout for these few pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>* I really collect Roman bronzes so my opinion here is not that of an expert...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
