Lot #704 - 1893-CC PCGS MS-64
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-2 has dropping letters in the mintmark. While population reports record thousands of 1893-CC silver dollars certified in UNC grade, we know these numbers must be inflated because the date has always been very elusive above MS-60. Here is a splendid, very choice example of this always-sought key issue, offering eggshell-white patina and an astonishing array of lustrous beams emanating from the surface. The date is well known for troublesome strikes and even this above-average example lacks a bit of sharpness over the ear. On the reverse, impressively sharp, full breast and wing feathers greet the eye. Liberty's cheek appears almost perfectly clean without a loupe though closer examination reveals a microscopic nick or two as well as a handful of exquisitely fine hairlines.

Lot #797 - 1795 LM-1 (R.6) NGC MS-62
Hammer: $15,500
Half Dimes-Flowing Hair
Robert Michaels Collection. Logan-McCloskey-1 (R.6). A very rare die-marriage, the cataloger looked at as many examples as could be found, and could discover very few others in such a late die-state. In addition to the die clashing seen on many, this example displays a fabulous die-crack extending from the ear, through the forehead and up between "TY". Add to this the discovery in such outstanding high grade (relatively speaking) and one can only hope the coin ends up in the cabinet of a researcher, or true fan of the half-dime series. Modest luster emanates from the peripheral areas where delightful chartreuse-lime and cobalt have seized hold, while lavender-grey and peach hues occupy much of the central areas. A small, isolated dig at the bottom of the portrait may be the lone grade determinant.
