Lot #908 - Collection of Lincoln cents in two Dansco albums
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Witmor Farms Collection. Two Dansco albums, two types, one beautiful collection! Nearly every Lincoln cent from 1909 through 2021 is represented within this meticulous collection that is housed in two Dansco albums. The first album houses all of the Wheat cent issues that range in date from 1909 through 1958 and includes the following notable examples: a 1909 VDB (BU), a 1909-S VDB (PCGS VF-25 CAC), a 1909 (BU), a 1909-S (VF), a 1910-S (XF), a 1911-D (AU), a 1912-D (XF+), a 1912-S (VF), a 1913-D (BU), a 1913-S (AU), a 1914-D (PCGS F-12), a 1914-S (VF), a 1915-S (VF+), a 1916-D (XF+), a 1916-S (XF), a 1918-D (AU), a 1920-D (AU), a 1931-D (AU), and a 1931-S (XF). It is worth noting that there is no 1922 Plain example present. The second album is a complete run of Memorial cents from 1959 through 2021 that includes Gem Uncirculated and Gem proof examples from start to finish (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.
