Lot #294 - 1852 $1 J-148 PCGS PR-65 CAC
Patterns-Patterns
Judd-148, R.6, and a very rare annular production by the U.S. mint with a proportionally large opening in the center to permit a larger overall denomination with the proper amount of gold content. The necessarily narrow remaining planchet area permits only limited design elements in addition to the 1852 date as well as USofA and the DOLLAR denomination. An exquisitely original example, this pattern features a remarkably high-relief fin around the central hold, speaking to a powerful strike but simultaneously speaking to one of the technical challenges of striking a holed coin.

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.
