1839 1C Silly Head MS65 Brown NGC. N-9, R.2. A
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1839 1C Silly Head MS65 Brown NGC. N-9, R.2. A bisecting obverse die crack across the portrait to 5 o'clock identifies the die marriage. One of several ephemeral types from the transitional year of 1839, the Silly Head is scarcer than its Booby Head counterpart as only two die pairs of this type were put into service. Glimpses of original gold color emerge from protected areas of the reverse, while the majority of the smooth surfaces are dominated by rich golden-brown patina. Population: 6 in 65 Brown, 7 finer (3/04).From the Robert Bowling Collection. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
