Lot #444 - 1912 NGC MS-65
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
45 graded MS-65, 5 higher at NGC. Nearly in the discussion for finest-known status, the quality seen here maximizes the appeal of devastating metallic mint luster and fabulous, bright golden color. A small nick in the reverse upper right field denies even further upgrade while the obverse displays merely a whiff of roll friction on the cheekbone. An example that will prove near impossible to improve upon.

Lot #580 - 1799 PCGS AU-53
Hammer: $4,825
Silver Dollar-Draped Bust
Robert Michaels Collection. Bolender-9, BB-166, "apostrophe reverse", the most common die-marriage for 1799. This example seemingly surpasses diagnostics for die-state V, which references basically a shattered obverse die and stars drawn to the edge. While very common, the B-9 is collectable by die-state, and such a collector might be interested to know that this is the latest die-state ever personally examined by the cataloger, most assuredly terminal and a fascinating case study as such. Add in very decent aesthetic qualities, including midnight-violet coloration throughout and a twinge of peripheral luster and one has a compelling case for the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award.
