Lot #935 - Five Uncirculated silver commemorative half dollars, all PCGS
Silver Commemoratives-Silver Commemoratives Half-Dollars
Gem quality and clearly undipped surfaces aptly describes all five members of this PCGS certified group lot of Classic Commemorative half-dollars. Included in this five-piece lot is a 1925 Vancouver MS-65, a 1927 Vermont MS-64, a 1935 Connecticut MS-65, a 1936 Norfolk MS-65, and a 1947 Booker T. Washington MS-65. Each of these issues boasts truly original surfaces full of original toning and character with the B.T. Washington being the lone outlier as a bright and white example (ck).

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.
