Black Cat - Large Cent Type Set, Circulation Strikes (1793-1857) Coin Album
CAC - "The surfaces have faded from mint color magnificently, blending electric blue, pale violet, rose, and gold tones that enflame under direct light and mellow with indirect light to a perfectly placid deep tan. The lightest color, that closest to mint red, surrounds the peripheral legends. Deeper tones halo the date and LIBERTY on the obverse, and appear to pull away from the legends on the reverse. The fields are lively and reflective, vigorous with luster and prooflike in texture, framed by high upset rims on both sides. The detail is definitively raised, showing each engraved hair strand and leaf vein. The beaded borders are boldly rounded, each fully defined but for a small group in the upper left obverse." Ex. Charles J. Dupont, D. Brent Pogue Collection
CAC - S-13 - Dark brown, slightly glossy surfaces. The strike is good, with full beaded borders.
CAC - A surfeit of frost adds warm appeal to exquisitely preserved surfaces. With bountiful cartwheel luster and abundant persisting mint color. The obverse fields have barely faded to variegated pale olive and gold, a colorful contrast to the red that remains around all design elements and within Liberty's hair. The reverse is more even, a uniform frosty light brown that still reveals abundant faded mint color. The fields of both sides are nearly immaculate.
