Lot #84 - Mexico - 1885-ZS 8 reales - NGC MS-65
World Coins-Mexico
KM#377.13, Zacatecas mint. Fiery orange mixes with cobalt and angular grey splashes along the obverse periphery to promote outstanding eye-appeal. Details were wonderfully impressed near the centers, but a shattering reverse die is to blame for somewhat weaker peripheral sharpness.

Lot #599 - 1885-CC GSA NGC MS-64
Hammer: $825
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-2. A tiny, delicate pinscratch just left of the eagle's portrait may be worth noting as the only other abrasions that can be found are in the usual place -- on Liberty's cheek. Bombastic white overall yet completely frozen over with frosted texture.

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
