Lot #870 - 1799 PCGS G-4
Large Cents-Draped Bust
Elm Then Almond Collection. Sheldon-189, a famously near-impossible key date to get straight-graded at any major grading service. Contrary to many low-grade pieces that have either a weak date or LIBERTY, this example features a nicely bold date, and LIBERTY has partial weakness only at the upper third of each letter. The coin was struck off of early dies, showing a small die chip between "E" of ONE and "T" of CENT -- a worthy diagnostic as to authenticity. An amazingly nice surface for the grade given the utter lack of environmental effects aside from normal circulation.

Lot #843 - 1841 CACG PR-66RB TOP POP
Hammer: $20,000
Large Cents-Braided Hair
Newcomb-1, R.5 as a proof-only die-marriage. With a total population estimated around fifty pieces, the 1841 cent provides one of the very few opportunities there are for obtaining an early proof copper for "a reasonable sum" of money. An incredible PR-65 RD example was certified by NGC perhaps 20 years ago, while this red-brown example scores an extra point in grade, but offers somewhat muted copper-red color with velvety greyish-brown overtones. The cataloger could not quickly identify a recent sale of this same coin, but pedigree markers might include a faint, linear abrasion between the eleventh and twelfth stars, as well as a small carbon dot clinging to the top-left of the upper loop of "8" in the date. Somehow, the CAC graders permitted two greyish crumbles to adhere to the obverse but overall, the coin offers splendid quality for the early proof collector.

Lot #101 - 18K Yellow Gold Coral Pendant, SGL #240827R-SJ
Hammer: $1,100
Jewelry-Pendants
I have to admit, this one won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but you will have to admit that it’s pretty darn cool! The center has a precious orangey marquise coral cabochon. There is a freeform, bezel set fossilized ammonite stone and the piece is completed with a elongated cabochon identified as rutilated quartz. None of the stones have indications of polymers or dyes, Stone Group Laboratories report #240827R-SJ. This piece has a pin on the back and also opens so it can be added to chain. Dimensions 4" x 1.5", 26.2 dwt.
