Lot #411 - 1873 Closed 3 NGC MS-62
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Cheddars de Voirs Collection. 23 graded MS-62, 8 higher at NGC. Impressively struck for an 1870s emission despite some light peripheral die cracks on the reverse. A condition rarity, as is much of the gold series from the 1860s and 1870s, time has been relatively kind to this very select example, replete with unconventionally attractive two-toned medium orange hue. Fleeting hairlines skate over slightly flashy fields, accounted for in the grade.

Lot #483 - 1910-S PCGS MS-64
Hammer: $9,750
Gold $10-Indian Head Eagle
35 graded MS-64, 11 higher at PCGS. 1910-S has that curious population distribution whereby it exists by the thousands in circulated grades, and the hundreds in lower mint-state grade. Coins that grade near or at the gem grade level are an altogether different story as it suddenly becomes a bona fide key -- a "Top 10" sort of coin in other words. Given the mintage of 811-thousand, one must assume that the issue was widely distributed to circulation or melted.

As befits San Francisco gold production of the era, this is an intensely attractive and smoothly lustrous example that benefits from a decent strike. Trivial softness exists toward the ends of some feathers and at the eagle's shoulders, though. A carbon speck just off the end of Liberty's nose has expanded a bit into a lavender spot while a splash of additional lilac-gold toning spreads out over the upper right area above the headdress.
