Dan Holmes’ Sale Yields First Million Dollar Large Cent

Part I, the” EARLY DATES”, of the Dan Holmes Large Cent Auction has elevated several of those special Early American Coppers to a new height. The legendary 1795 Reeded Edge Sheldon-79 brought $1,260,000 (with the 15% buyer’s commission); a new record price paid for any US Large Cent. For a video replay of this lot use this link(1). Apparently purchased by a dealer for a serious large cent copper specialist. However, it wasn’t the only star amongst the group. Lot 352, the Mint State 1799 Sheldon-189, considered by many to be the most valuable large cent in the auction, came in a close second at $977,500 (including the commission). Marvelous results for all Large Cent collectors and investors.
But that’s only the beginning. Lot 24, the Finest Known Bisected Obverse 1793 Sheldon-14 was hammered down at $506,000 including the buyer’s commission. Then there was Lot 531which was the Unique Certified Mint State 1804 Sheldon-266c graded MS 63 BN by PCGS that fell at $661,250 with the commission.
The Sheldon-Holmes Color Set which consisted of 6 Colonials and 60 Large Cents sold for $37,950 with the 15% commission.
We will have a more detailed analysis as we digest the results. Congratulations Dan and Family, Ira and Larry, and of course Chris and Bob.

Noncollectible Large Cent Varieties in the Dan Holmes’ Collection
Posted in Dan Holmes Large Cents, Gammill Numismatics, Ira and Larry Goldberg, large cents, Noncollectible large cent varieties, numismatics, tagged 1794 NC-9, 1795 "Unique" Jefferson Head NC-4, 1800 NC-4 EDS, Bob Grellman, Chris McCawley, Dan Holmes’ Collection, Gammill Numismatics, Ira and Larry Goldberg’s auction, Jefferson Head 1795 NC-1, Noncollectible large cent varieties on August 26, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Ira and Larry Goldberg’s auction of the Dan Holmes collection of Large Cents, in collaboration with Chris McCawley and Bob Grellman, will offer the large cent collector an opportunity to bid on a total of 68 NC varieties. There are 55 NC varieties recognized by collectors and Dan was able to assemble 54 of the 55. The one missing from his collection is the unique (1795 NC -5) which is located in the American Numismatic Societies Museum in NYC.
In Dan’s collection of NC varieties there are 14 coins where there are duplicates. Several of those NC varieties are of considerable interest and value. For example, Lots 77 and 78 are examples of the 1794 NC-9, R7+. Lot 77 is net graded Good-5 but the reverse vertical die crack is very weak (EDS, Breen state 1). In the case of Lot 78, net graded About Good-3, the sharpness is slightly better and the reverse die crack is very strong indicating its LDS. There are only four known examples of the 1794 NC-9 variety, two of which are in Holmes’ auction. The census of these four examples are, 7-6-5-3. The estimated value of these two lots is in the $20,000 range. The VG-6 example was sold in February 2008 by Superior Galleries for $36,500.
Lots 129 and 130 offer two examples of the Jefferson Head 1795 NC-1, R8+. Lot 129 is the “Unique” Thick Planchet Jefferson Head with Lettered Edge of 1793. One of only three examples of the 1795 NC-1 and the only one struck on a thick planchet. Graded by PCGS as Fine-15 and by McCawley/Grellman as Fine-12. Estimated value for Lot 129 is $50,000. Lot 130 is the thin planchet example of the NC-1 of which there are only two known examples. Lot 130 grades as a Fair-2 with an estimated value of $20,000. The second example has a grade of VF-20.
Lots 132 and 133 are also a pair of Jefferson Head NCs. Lot 132 is the 1795 “Unique” Jefferson Head NC-4 (R8+) Thick Planchet Overstruck on a 1795 NC-1. The coin is holed at the top of the head but is the second finer of only two known for the variety and grades Fair-2. It is also unique that it is overstruck on an NC-1 thick planchet! This varieties estimated value is $20,000 and UP. This is truly a unique specimen. Lot 133 is another “Unique” Jefferson Head NC-4. This Jefferson Head is struck on a Thin Lettered Edge Planchet and grades Good-5. The estimated value of this NC-4 is $30,000.
There is also Lots 394 and 395. Lot 394 features an Outstanding 1800 NC-4 EDS. It is the finest known of eight examples in all die states. It grades EF-40 and is the Noyes plate coin. Estimated value is $20,000. Lot 395 is the 1800 NC-4 in MDS and grades Fair-2. Estimated value is $4,000.
A complete listing of the NC varieties is listed in the table below. It offers a unique opportunity for the large cent specialist.
