Lot #639 - 1878-CC VAM 18 Doubled Leaves PCGS MS-62PL
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-18 plainly shows strong doubling on the leaves, as called out on the PCGS insert, but the ear, date and stars are also lightly doubled as usual for this variety. About as nice as MS-62 PL can get, the fields display only a minimal number of abrasions, while both sides feature exceptional and possibly full striking details.

Lot #550 - 1909-S NGC MS-66
Hammer: $17,500
Gold $20-Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
13 graded MS-66, zero higher at NGC. Not so many years ago, 1909-S was considered rare in high grade until a hoard of better examples entered the market and helped increase the supply of gem examples. That said, this spectacular coin, showing exceptional copper-gold color, exceeds the gem grade by a full point at NGC, and places it smack dab into the discussion of finest-known pieces at that grading company (PCGS claims two higher graded examples).

Close inspection reveals superbly frosted surfaces and a lack of major marks; the cataloger suggests the one lone depression down the left edge of Liberty's gown may be the most noticeable. On the reverse, what appears at first to be a micro pinscratch could actually be an interesting strikethrough, which could then be of significant interest as a provenance marker for a coin this scarce. An exquisite, much better date within the series that would be almost impossible to beat in terms of quality.
