Lot #258 - Collections of Franklin half dollars and Jefferson nickels in two Dansco albums
Hammer: $1,100
Collector Lots-U.S. Type
Witmor Farms Collection. A tale of two collections. The first chapter of this numismatic novel is a complete collection of Franklin half-dollars that can simply be described as bright and white. Every example within this completed set is in uncirculated condition with only a few examples showing intermediate levels of toning. The second set is a Jefferson nickel run that is complete from 1938 through 2020 and offers a truly exceptional level of overall quality. Lightly toned issues in uncirculated condition fills this truly dynamic collection leaving no work to be done by it’s new owner (ck)!

Lot #457 - 1929 PCGS MS-64+ CAC
Hammer: $52,750
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
17 graded MS-64+, 14 (all MS-65) higher at PCGS. The final entry into the Indian half-eagle also turns out to be one of the most difficult to obtain at the gem grade level. In some respects, 1929 could be considered the "easiest key" or the "most difficult semi-key" depending on how one delineates rarity. Probably only six other dates prove more elusive to collectors at this level.

Strong luster checks off the first item on the list of accolades, followed immediately by what appears to be unexpectedly and pleasantly original color, including medium golden iridescence joined by much grapefruit-orange accenting. A very good but not quite excellent strike is mostly responsible for all that nice energy, but the grade gets held back slightly by two tiny nicks on the brow and another smaller nick on the lip.
