Lot #826 - 1839 No Drapery Choice BU
Dimes-Liberty Seated
Cochrane Gambit Consignment. Cataloger's grade: [MS-62], or possibly a point higher depending on how one views the presence of some exceedingly faint hairlines. A clean strike brought up luxuriant details, particularly at Liberty's head and sandal, while the wreath features crisp delineation. A splash of toning across the obverse far right briefly spills across the reverse right rim.

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.

Lot #307 - Native American Unsigned Squash Blossom
Hammer: $425
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970, this sterling silver (tested, not marked) and turquoise squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and an 8-stone Naja at the bottom. The design of the piece is mostly original with a slight twist on modernism. The turquoise used in the making appears to be from the Cripple Creek mine. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Unsigned piece so tribal affiliation is unknown. Length 28”, 5.78 troy ounces.
