Lot #776 - Complete collection of Walking Liberty half dollars in two Whitman albums
Half Dollars-Walking Liberty
Cheddars de Voirs. Uniform wear and natural surfaces are noticed throughout this complete collection of Walking Liberty half-dollars that are housed in two Whitman coin albums. The first album runs from 1916 through 1940 while the second album houses everything from 1941 through 1947. Grades range fairly tightly from Good to Extra Fine with the majority of the tenants grading somewhere in between. Included in this even keel collection are the following examples: a 1916 (GD), a 1916-D (VG), a 1916-S (GD+), a 1917-D Obverse (GD), a 1917-D Reverse (VG+), a 1917-S Obverse (VG), a 1917-S Reverse (F), a 1918-D (VG), a 1918-S (VG), a 1919 (GD), a 1919-D (VG), a 1919-S (VG), a 1920-S (VG), a 1921 (AG+), a 1921-D (VG+), a 1921-S (GD+), and a 1938-D (VF). Every example in the “short set” from 1941 through 1947 is filled with fresh examples ranging in grade from Very Fine to Extra Fine and could not be any more original (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.
