Lot #7 - Argentina - 1825-RA CA 2 Soles - NGC XF-40
Hammer: $725
World Coins-Argentina
KM#18, Rioja mint, medallic alignment. In the cataloger's experience, the 1825 Ra-CA is considerably scarcer than 1826 examples, which can be found on the market with persistent searching. This is an absolutely outstanding example -- a gorgeous "sunface" 2-soles bathed in drop-dead gorgeous, original powdery ash-grey with faint honey undertones. As always, the strike was imperfectly centered upon a very good flan, causing either side to favor north, yet those dentils that made it onto the flan are tack-sharp. While not a typical selection for the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award, it isn't often that a humble coin off of the Rioja mint is so well preserved despite much circulation, so the award seems most apropos.

Lot #719 - 1815/2 NGC VF-35
Hammer: $4,300
Half Dollars-Capped Bust, Lettered Edge
O-101, prime dies. There is no evidence of clashed dies for this famous key to the series. Scarcity for the date can be explained by the one-day delivery of the entire mintage -- 47-thousand -- on January 10,1816 which was the day immediately preceding a major fire at the Mint. The mint was not operational again for practically the rest of the year. One might not state that the surfaces for this sharp example are entirely original as some glossy tan texture shows, interspersed with purple and neon-violet peripheral accents, but the coin suffers no damage nor distracting issues. Individual feathers within the eagle's right (observed) wing are nicely outlined while a few feathers in the left wing merge just slightly.
