Lot #151 - 1901 $10 Bison Fr# 121m - PCGS VF-25/minor glue
US Currency-Legal Tender Notes, Large
When is a mule a bison? As you ponder that question, take notice of backplate 322 for this bone-grey note that appears a little undergraded at first glance. The graders may have netted a few points off due to a brief tear that enters the design at far left (not mentioned) as well as "minor glue" mentioned on the holder.

Lot #408 - 1868 NGC MS-61
Hammer: $5,500
Gold $3-Indian Princess Head
Scott Laiter Collection. 41 graded MS-61, 37 higher at NGC. While more available as a date within the series, 1868 is at least not one of the truly common emissions. Without aid of a loupe, MS-61 almost seems too low given the lovely semi-flashy luster often seen for the date. Traces of lavender-gold show on both sides.
