Lot #437 - 1908 Indian NGC MS-65
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
116 graded MS-65 35 higher at NGC. "Eye appeal" is in the eyes of the beholder but one would be hard-pressed to find anything not appealing about such a superbly preserved half-eagle with clean lines and marvelous definition. This smooth, softly frosted surface offers a hint of lime-green within the recesses and showboats virtually no distinguishable abrasions.

Lot #871 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln PCGS MS-64RB CAC
Hammer: $2,900
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Growth Collection. There was a phase about ten years ago when MS-64 RB was considered "best" for the 1909-S VDB in terms of bang for the buck, and perhaps that holds true today. This example certainly seems on the verge of a red designation as either side gleams with 85% of the vintage brick-orange hue. Interestingly, this key cent was possibly struck off of a very slightly clipped planchet, since what appears to be a trio of tiny rim dings at first glance prove, upon closer inspection, to be almost certainly as-struck. An exceptionally detailed Lincoln cent with virtually no disturbances that would meaningfully preclude higher grade consideration.
