Lot #151 - 1901 $10 Bison Fr# 121m - PCGS VF-25/minor glue
US Currency-Legal Tender Notes, Large
When is a mule a bison? As you ponder that question, take notice of backplate 322 for this bone-grey note that appears a little undergraded at first glance. The graders may have netted a few points off due to a brief tear that enters the design at far left (not mentioned) as well as "minor glue" mentioned on the holder.

Lot #486 - 1912-S NGC MS-64+
Hammer: $8,500
Gold $10-Indian Head Eagle
8 graded MS-64+, 11 higher at NGC. The lower mintage of 300-thousand seems to lead directly to extreme rarity at or just below the gem grade level. One would expect to see this incomparably pristine and lustrous example in a gem holder if not for one small constraint -- a minute shiny abrasion out in front of Liberty's lips. The fields on both sides offer texture that is somehow at once both satiny yet semi-granular, the result being a coin with vigorous energy when viewed under a good lamp.
