  • Lot #895 - 1856 Flying Eagle PCGS AU details/plugged
  • Small Cents-Flying Eagle
  • Benjamin J. Collection. Sharply detailed without question, close examination reveals nearly complete feathers across the eagle's entire motif, as well as exceptionally intricate details within both stems of the wreath. Alas, there is no avoiding the visual effect of dark surfaces with myriad tiny planchet voids, as well as the plug at OF. Details at 11:30 of the reverse have been replaced with very good skill while the obverse still shows a plain outline of the plug repair.

  • 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.
