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 #55 - Great Britain - 1930 T$1 - NGC MS-64
Hammer: $725
World Coins-Great Britain
Lemonade Stand Collection. KM#T5, London mint. Wonderfully lustrous and preserved nearly to gem standards, the surface exudes delightful almond-grey hue throughout. A lavish and immaculately struck example for which the biggest "complaint" might be a few trivial rim marks
