Lot #590 - 1799 PCGS VF details/repaired
Silver Dollar-Draped Bust
Rebel Yell Collection. Bolender-12, BB-160, and an earlier die-state we believe, unless surface repairs effaced die cracks that help attribute the die state. Sharpness appears to fall about midway between VF and XF, leading to an early dollar with wonderfully bold major details. Despite overall abrading of the surface, especially the obverse, by no means does this coin offend the eye.

Lot #418 - 1807 Bust Left NGC MS-62
Hammer: $11,500
Gold $5-Capped Bust to Left Half Eagle
Bass-Dannreuther-8, by far the more available of two die marriages dated 1807. Not only is this "the right" variety to pick for type purposes, but in a competent grade of MS-62, one doesn't miss out on much as compared to a mere point's upgrade. This example features acceptable, slightly muted luster, and an excellent strike despite lightly clashed dies. Near-brilliant canary-gold hue generally dominates except where a trace of greyish overtone shows, particularly on the portraits. The cataloger could find no evidence of adjustment marks -- bonus points for many type collectors.
