Lot #537 - 1895-S PCGS AU-55
Silver Dollar-Morgan
Thanks to an excellent strike, even five points of circulation has scarcely removed any of the sharp detail, such that either side hardly looks worn at all. Combine that with extensive, practically complete luster, and no wonder PCGS nailed the grade perfectly at AU-55. Abrasions from handling do leave a few tiny ticks here, a microscopic scrape there, everything in perfect accord with the near-mint grade.

Lot #580 - 1866 Rays PCGS MS-64 (shield)
Hammer: $575
Nickels-Shield
No, this is not Ray's nickel. It is, rather, a very choice example of the inaugural type for 5-cent coins struck on the copper-nickel alloy planchets that gave the mint such a fit, due to its toughness. Those difficulties are evident here as the small die-cracks and other over-polishing anomalies become apparent under a loupe. Only modest luster can be seen for this near-gem example.
