Lot #231 - Collections of Mercury dimes and Roosevelt dimes in a Dansco album
Hammer: $790
Collector Lots-Dimes
Wry Legals Consignment. All but one. Only one solitary missing piece from this joint series Dansco album collection of Mercury and Roosevelt dimes and that is the 1916-D. Every other example from 1916 through 1945 is present and accounted for with mostly cleaned examples. There are several bright and white uncirculated examples mixed in for a fairly stark level of contrast. Ironically, there is a 1942/1-D issue that is in Extra Fine condition and really steals the show. The remainder of this collection is a complete run of Roosevelt dimes from 1946 through 2002 that includes the proof and silver proof issues as well (ck).

Lot #457 - 1929 PCGS MS-64+ CAC
Hammer: $52,750
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
17 graded MS-64+, 14 (all MS-65) higher at PCGS. The final entry into the Indian half-eagle also turns out to be one of the most difficult to obtain at the gem grade level. In some respects, 1929 could be considered the "easiest key" or the "most difficult semi-key" depending on how one delineates rarity. Probably only six other dates prove more elusive to collectors at this level.

Strong luster checks off the first item on the list of accolades, followed immediately by what appears to be unexpectedly and pleasantly original color, including medium golden iridescence joined by much grapefruit-orange accenting. A very good but not quite excellent strike is mostly responsible for all that nice energy, but the grade gets held back slightly by two tiny nicks on the brow and another smaller nick on the lip.
