Lot #701 - 1893 PCGS MS-63
Silver Dollar-Morgan
Benjamin J. Collection. VAM-3, popular for both a doubled-die obverse and reverse. Nothing impairs the vivid luster of this obviously-choice example, although frosted areas receive some bag abrasions on the cheek and potentially slidemarks on the neck. A rather amazingly well-preserved reverse actually looks MS-66(!), elevating overall appeal of this well-liked semi-key date.

Hammer: $4,000
US Currency-Federal Reserve Notes, Small
While not truly CU in appearance due to some light toning, especially on the back, the appearance is all that of "choice" and more. PMG additionally notes an "as made ink smudge" on the right side of the back. The fold which bars CU is at the lower right corner, barely intruding into the design

Lot #309 - Native American Squash Blossom
Hammer: $550
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970 and signed by Bobby Thompson of the Navajo nation, this sterling silver (tested, not marked) and turquoise squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 5-stone Naja at the bottom. The turquoise cabs are set in a shadow box setting and while most of the background has been blackened nicely, a couple panels need a touch up of color. The turquoise used in the making appears to be from the Sleeping Beauty mine. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Length 30”, 5.54 troy ounces
