Lot #876 - 1814 Crosslet 4 XF
Large Cents-Classic Head
Cochrane Gambit Consignment. Sheldon-294, crosslet 4, early dies. A remarkably sharp strike invoked pinpoint accurate details from the dies, with denticles that would have been fully delineated if not for a slightly off-center presentation. Several small nicks on and in front of the neck are of no problematic consequence at the cataloger's grade [XF/altered surface], but observers will note an unusually low-contrast, ultra-fine matte surface on both sides. An unexpectedly appealing classic head example despite any potential modest faults.

Lot #16 - Chile - 1806-SO-FJ 8 escudos - NGC MS-62
Hammer: $3,700
World Coins-Chile
Morals And Liberty Collection. KM#54, Santiago mint. A tremendous example even at MS-62, luster and color carry this coin all day in terms of visual appeal. Unusual for the era, the planchet does not seem to retain much evidence of adjustment marks after striking, which is only of further benefit to most collectors. Absolutely outstanding and oh-so-close to the choice grade level.
