Lot #712 - 1796 PCGS Fair-2 (shield)
Quarter Dollars-Draped Bust
Browning-2, R.3 has the "high 6" in the date, identifying it as the far more prevalent obverse. Strictly honest wear, if a bit uneven, should strike the fancy for the next owner of this in-demand and all-time classic type coin. LIBERTY has succumbed to the ravages of many hands, but the date remains absolutely bold, as does the outline of Liberty's portrait. The reverse displays precious little detail, showing a partial outline of the eagle and ICA at lower right. Trivial pinscratches down the portrait will bother nobody since, after all, this coin retains but two points of grade. A humble and worthy alternative to the financial demands of even modestly better-preserved examples.

Lot #778 - Five Buffalo nickels, all PCGS MS-66 CAC
Hammer: $500
Nickels-Buffalo
VT Aerostyle Collection. Nearly perfect is an accurate phrase to describe all five of the Buffalo nickels that forge together to make this lot. All five of these issues are PCGS certified as MS-66 and have also been adorned by a CAC sticker to boot. Included in this group is a 1936-D, a 1937-D, a 1937-S, a 1938-D/D, and lastly a 1938-D/S. Steel grey surfaces that appear almost blue are nicely offset by hints of gold that make this herd really pop. Conservatively graded examples like these are sure to be a tremendous upgrade for almost any Buffalo nickel collection around (ck).
