Lot #487 - 1915 PCGS MS-64
Gold $10-Indian Head Eagle
Absolutely riveting, powerful luster is the hallmark factor driving eye-appeal for this generally very common issue. Several marks land on the eagle's back while the obverse features only trivial abrasions. How many could you fit into a burlap sack?

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.

Lot #308 - Native American Unsigned Squash Blossom
Hammer: $320
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970, this overly large sterling silver (tested, not marked) and chrysocolla squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 7-stone Naja at the bottom. With an overly bold design, the stone used in the making emulates a darker grade of turquoise than usually found in this type of necklace. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Unsigned piece so tribal affiliation is unknown. Length 26”, 8.40 troy ounces.
