Lot #452 - 1839 Head of 1838 NGC AU-58
Gold $10-Liberty Head Eagle
27 graded AU-58, 13 higher at NGC. 1839/8, large letters, and variously referred to as the "head of 1838". Marvelously sharp overall for an 1830s gold piece, even if the obverse stars display only minimal sharpness. Only limited cartwheel effect is able to project through light mustard-gold patina yet very little actual wear affects major details. Delicate marks fall across both sides, joined by a few mentionable light rim dings on the reverse.

Lot #342 - 1860-S NGC MS-61
Hammer: $2,300
Gold Dollars-Indian Princess Head, Large Head
Mintage: 13,000. 23 graded MS-61, 17 higher at NGC. Lurking in an area of low survival rates in mint-state, the 1860-S is not quite as scarce as preceding years and often comes semi-prooflike, although this specific select representation shows only minimal flash. Roll friction scatters into the fields and takes on slightly deeper orange hue while coppery tones persist in better protected areas.
