1805 1C NGC VG8 S-267 Dbl Struck 2nd 80% Off Ctr Mint Error - Mervis Collection
Though other memorable large cent collections have perhaps featured a greater number of outstanding condition rarities among the more available varieties, the Mervis Collection is especially noteworthy for its inclusiveness within the very rarest die marriages. It is rich in R-7 (4-12 known), R-8 (2-3 known) and even Unique varieties. In the latter category it is obvious that Mr. Mervis alone possesses such rarities until bidders have a chance to secure them in Heritage Auctions’ sale of this magnificent cent collection.
Presented, a Double Struck 1805 S-267 is just a representation of an elite memebership to some of the most important pieces within this immense collection. They include the rarest Sheldon-numbered varieties, as well as a particularly extensive run of the NC (non-collectable) die marriages that are the real test of a cent collector’s determination. There are important pieces, too, within the later Newcomb-numbered issues of 1816-57.
Double strikes
A double strike occurs when the coining press fails to eject a newly minted coin completely from the striking area, and it then receives a second blow from the dies while partially outside the collar. Just as a single clipped-planchet coin can have more than one clip, multiple-strike coins can receive more than one extra strike. Each double strike is unique, and eye appeal plays a significant part in determining the value of any given piece. However, this type of error is not encountered nearly as often as off-center coins and clips, and this scarcity is reflected in higher market values.
Another double strike variety occurs when the coin is properly/normally struck on the first strike, but fails to fully eject from the coining chamber landing again (and maybe again) partially onto the collar die. This coin can receive additional, off-center strikes before it eventually fully ejects from the coining chamber. You now have a slightly different type of error coin which may be described as "first strike on-center, additional strikes off-center".
Finally, a double strike can occur when one coin received two different designs altogether. At the FUN show in January 2000, Fred Weinberg handled a double-denomination New Jersey statehood quarter which had been struck on a 1999 Roosevelt dime. It was the size and weight of the dime, but had part of the design from the New Jersey quarter, with the dime's design visible underneath. Weinberg sold this coin for ,000.
The Mervis Collection History
The 1795 Liberty Cap, Reeded Edge cent, cataloged as the Sheldon 79 die marriage in Penny Whimsy by William H. Sheldon, is the top highlight of the Adam Mervis Collection, to be offered by Heritage Auctions Jan. 9. The auction will be conducted in Orlando, Fla., in conjunction with the Florida United Numismatists Convention.
The coin is graded Very Good 10 by Professional Coin Grading Service.
The coin last sold Sept. 6, 2009, for .265 million, by Ira and Larry Goldberg Auctioneers in conjunction with McCawley-Grellman, The Copper Specialists, in the sale of the Dan Holmes Collection of Early Date Large Cents, Part I.
The 2009 price realized includes a 15 percent buyer’s fee.
Considered the finest known 1795 Liberty Cap, Reeded Edge cent among seven examples confirmed, the coin is one of some 1,200 lots comprising the Mervis large cent collection.
The collection also boasts two of the four known varieties of 1793 Flowing Hair, Wreath, Strawberry Leaf cents. The varieties derive their name from the plant appearing below Liberty’s portrait and above the date.
The Strawberry Leaf cents are classified as noncollectible varieties because they are known by three or fewer examples.
Mervis assembled the bulk of his collection of large cents over a four-year period between 2007 and 2011 with the guidance of Greg Hannigan from Hannigan’s Rare Coins/U.S. Currency LLC in Royal Palm Beach, Fla.
The Mervis Collection includes all 302 Sheldon die marriages that fall outside of the “noncollectible” category, according to Hannigan, who sold Mervis all the coins in his large cent collection.
The Mervis/Hannigan numismatic collaboration began in 2006 when Mervis purchased from Hannigan via eBay an 1844 Coronet cent certified Mint State 65 red and brown by Numismatic Guaranty Corp.
A decisive moment in the assemblage of the Mervis Collection came with Hannigan’s placement of the winning bid in 2009 for the 1795 Liberty Cap, Reeded Edge cent, a bid that almost didn’t get placed as Mervis hesitated.
Hannigan had been provided with Mervis’ bidding limit before the lot containing the 1795 Reeded Edge cent opened. Once bidding began, it soon eclipsed Mervis’ limit.
Hannigan said Mervis had wanted to acquire the coin for 0,000 or less, but Hannigan said he told Mervis that to win the coin would take million or more. And it did.
Mervis’ lots from the Holmes sale, for which Hannigan placed the winning bids, cost more than .5 million, Hannigan said.
Mervis, 52, said that although he began his numismatic collecting some 40 years ago filling holes in Whitman coin folders, his interests multiplied six or seven years ago with the attention given by his then 13-year-old son, Alec.
Alec has the better eye for coins, and he especially liked the early dates, Mervis said. That, coupled with the older Mervis’ meeting with Hannigan, put him on the road to aggressive pursuit of the large cents by Sheldon variety.
Mervis credits Hannigan’s tenacity and enthusiasm in the effort to help him attain his collecting goals with the large cents.
Next to the large cent collection assembled by Roy E. “Ted” Naftzger Jr., Hannigan considers the Mervis Collection the highest in quality among large cent collections of the 302 Sheldon die marriages to come to auction.
At the 2009 Holmes auction, where he purchased the 1795 Reeded Edge cent, Hannigan also acquired the two 1793 Strawberry Leaf cents for his own collection.
Hannigan didn’t decide to part with the coins until 2010, when he broached the subject with Mervis before a scheduled trip to meet Holmes at his Cleveland, Ohio, home and discuss their common zest for large cents.
Hannigan said he brought the Strawberry Leaf cents with him on that trip and handed them over to Mervis. Hannigan said he provided Mervis the opportunity to consummate the deal several months later, with payment in 2011.
