Lot #184 - Uncut Sheet of twelve 1934-D $5 Fr# 1654Wi - PMG ChCU-64/annotation
US Currency-Silver Certificates, Small
Bold and beautiful. With a nearly nonexistent population of only two sheets reported, this very rare run of (12) 1934-D $5 Wide I (QA Block) silver certificates are certainly worth some serious attention. Bold blues clash against nearly Gem CU paper quality making this particular sheet a deserving recipient of the Choice UNC 64 grade it has been awarded by PMG. This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this run (ck)?

Lot #428 - 1857 PCGS MS-64+ TOP POP
Hammer: $20,500
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
2 graded MS-64+, zero higher at PCGS, thus placing claims as the "finest known" 1857 five-dollar gold piece. NGC has never graded one above MS-63+, affirming the extreme rarity of choice and better examples. That so few survive seems surprising given a not-so-high but reasonable mintage of 98-thousand coins.

Tilting the coin back and forth beneath good lighting reveals exactly the kind of gleaming, satin-textured flowline effect one expects as the mint had ample experience striking superior half-eagles by 1857. One copper spot clings to the first start and a tiny carbon dot randomly flings into the obverse right field. A loupe also detects a one tiny hairline at the upper chin, with this trio of characteristics perhaps conspiring to limit full gem potential. The reverse seems particularly free from any mentionable defects while the entire presentation takes full advantage of an exceptional strike.

Lot #309 - Native American Squash Blossom
Hammer: $550
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970 and signed by Bobby Thompson of the Navajo nation, this sterling silver (tested, not marked) and turquoise squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 5-stone Naja at the bottom. The turquoise cabs are set in a shadow box setting and while most of the background has been blackened nicely, a couple panels need a touch up of color. The turquoise used in the making appears to be from the Sleeping Beauty mine. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Length 30”, 5.54 troy ounces
