Lot #348 - 1904 PCGS PR-67CAM
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
3 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 higher at PCGS. Between them, PCGS and NGC have managed fewer than fifteen aggregate UCAM/DCAM events in any grade, speaking to the difficulty of locating a specimen with superior contrast. This is partly due to a lack of special effort on the part of the mint to create high-contrast proof dies after the turn of the century. Nevertheless, this coin boasts exceptionally reflective fields on the obverse -- not quite UCAM but close -- and very good mirrors on the reverse. Contrast is thereby enhanced, but truthfully, the frosted-matte texture on the devices is also not strong enough to yield the kind of contrast that a UCAM designation demands.

Technically, the coin appears virtually flawless under 8x magnification, with fields that are as bright and pristine as possible and showing an absolute absence of hairlines. A single, tiny, sintered dot floats in space beneath the hair bun, just right of the smallest imaginable comma-shaped abrasion, and together, these could provide a pedigree marker for future collectors. A lintmark also occupies one point of the eleventh star.

Lot #580 - 1799 PCGS AU-53
Hammer: $4,825
Silver Dollar-Draped Bust
Robert Michaels Collection. Bolender-9, BB-166, "apostrophe reverse", the most common die-marriage for 1799. This example seemingly surpasses diagnostics for die-state V, which references basically a shattered obverse die and stars drawn to the edge. While very common, the B-9 is collectable by die-state, and such a collector might be interested to know that this is the latest die-state ever personally examined by the cataloger, most assuredly terminal and a fascinating case study as such. Add in very decent aesthetic qualities, including midnight-violet coloration throughout and a twinge of peripheral luster and one has a compelling case for the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award.
