<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 516254, member: 8959&quot;]The recent Goldberg sale of the March Wells collections had very many choice (and others not so choice, but very rare) varieties of large cents.&nbsp; A deadly trap for people like me who love these coins!&nbsp; I bid on a few 1794&#039;s, 1796&#039;s and 1795&#039;s hoping to get at least one. </p><p><br /></p><p>In spite of what i considered to be strong bids, over book on R-3 and higher varieties, i did not manage to win even one.......It is as though somebody knew what i was bidding, and continually upped me one!&nbsp; No sign of the difficult economic times at this sale, or maybe it was that people were willing to pay hefty premiums due to the pedigrees. I don&#039;t know. </p><p><br /></p><p>I then chanced to look at what Shawn Yancey was offering. As some of you know, Shawn specializes in this area, and has many nice coppers on offer. There i saw this little lady who now enhances my collection: 1796 Draped Bust S-102, R-4 VG8, with a decent planchet.</p><p>S-1-2 is not tremendously rare as a variety, but i think this coin offers a good compromise between rarity and condition. (i already have an S-102 but in AG3/4 condition. This one is much better).</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought some of you may enjoy seeing this lady from 1796,</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
