Lot #327 - 1849-C NGC AU-58
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
22 graded AU-58, 10 higher at NGC. More attractive than a Charlotte quarter-eagle has a right to be, the surface pulls off some intriguing two-toned corn-gold and steely olive-green contrast that helps ignite very good visual appeal. Recognized as a grade-rarity with hardly any UNC examples known, this borderline-UNC coin further surprises potential bidders with a much better strike than expected, featuring virtually fully realized wing feathers and excellent dentilation all around both sides.

Lot #483 - 1910-S PCGS MS-64
Hammer: $9,750
Gold $10-Indian Head Eagle
35 graded MS-64, 11 higher at PCGS. 1910-S has that curious population distribution whereby it exists by the thousands in circulated grades, and the hundreds in lower mint-state grade. Coins that grade near or at the gem grade level are an altogether different story as it suddenly becomes a bona fide key -- a "Top 10" sort of coin in other words. Given the mintage of 811-thousand, one must assume that the issue was widely distributed to circulation or melted.

As befits San Francisco gold production of the era, this is an intensely attractive and smoothly lustrous example that benefits from a decent strike. Trivial softness exists toward the ends of some feathers and at the eagle's shoulders, though. A carbon speck just off the end of Liberty's nose has expanded a bit into a lavender spot while a splash of additional lilac-gold toning spreads out over the upper right area above the headdress.
