Lot #902 - 1869/69 RPD FS-301 S-3 PCGS MS-65RB CAC
Small Cents-Indian Head
Bucky The Badger Consignment. 133 graded MS-65 RB, 15 higher at PCGS. Snow-3, FS-301 was once believed to represent a 9/8 overdate but that hypothesis has fallen out of favor as it is now believed to represent 1869/69, as spelled out on the sticker-happy PCGS slab. The obverse has mellowed only modestly away from the vintage copper-red hue while the reverse presents as at least 80% brown. Important to an issue considered difficult even without the added fame of the Snow variety, neither side carries noticeable evidence of carbon, and an impeccable strike brought about a four-diamond obverse.

Lot #486 - 1912-S NGC MS-64+
Hammer: $8,500
Gold $10-Indian Head Eagle
8 graded MS-64+, 11 higher at NGC. The lower mintage of 300-thousand seems to lead directly to extreme rarity at or just below the gem grade level. One would expect to see this incomparably pristine and lustrous example in a gem holder if not for one small constraint -- a minute shiny abrasion out in front of Liberty's lips. The fields on both sides offer texture that is somehow at once both satiny yet semi-granular, the result being a coin with vigorous energy when viewed under a good lamp.
