Lot #75 - Mexico - 1833/2-Do RM/L 8 reales - NGC MS-63
World Coins-Mexico
Ankh Consigonment. KM#377.4, Durango mint. A strong contender for "finest known" honors, the cataloger could find only a single PCGS choice UNC listed, although of course, these are known for inconsistent production as can be seen by a rim defect at 2:00 of the obverse. Fair luster traverses the aluminum-grey obverse while the revers boasts swirling silvery energy.

Lot #126 - 1863 $10 Fr# 95 - PMG AU-58/small tear
Hammer: $7,500
US Currency-Legal Tender Notes, Large
Often found cut a little askew, this particularly bright example has been almost ideally centered and squared properly when viewed from either side, which means the back of the note is as appealing as the front. Signatures were stamped a little high but are as bold and deep black as can be. A "small tear" as called out by PMG only just barely requires mention because it technically touches a portion of the design (the border line) else it would escape notice. Not mentioned is a tiny dab of greenish residue positioned below the offending "tear" -- the cataloger speculates a staple may have been professionally removed from the edge at some point.

Lot #89 - 18K Yellow Gold Jade Pendant
Hammer: $1,500
Jewelry-Pendants
Probably purchased in China during the 1960s, may we offer this absolutely stunning pendant fashioned from 18K yellow gold, diamonds and the most translucent green Jade. The three diamonds measure 2.5mm each for an approximate total weight of .18 cttw, SI clarity, I color. While most people know that the green color of a candy life saver is the best color of jade to own, the second most prized feature of a piece of jade is the translucency. This piece, although it looks like a moss green jade, if you get it near the light and under a loupe, it's more of an emerald green. And when I say this piece is translucent, I am NOT kidding. It is just so clear and so nicely carved that you know the artisan took great pride in creating the female deity you see here. While the piece is fashioned as a pendant, it also stands on its own and can be used as a small shrine. As to the deity this piece represents, I know not. It is what it is - just GORGEOUS! Dimensions 2” x 2.5”, 22 dwt.
