Lot #888 - 1830 Medium Letters PCGS VF-25
Large Cents-Liberty Head
Newcomb-6 (R.4), medium letters, die-state B/B as is evident by the fourth star drawn to the edge and a die crack encircling portions of the reverse. N-6 gets representation in the Red Book with a valuation that is many multiples of any of the common large letters varieties. The surface offers exceptional chocolate-brown patina with merely a whisper of greenish overtone and suffers scarcely any detracting abrasions. A few trivial darker splashes occasion the lower obverse.

Lot #428 - 1857 PCGS MS-64+ TOP POP
Hammer: $20,500
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
2 graded MS-64+, zero higher at PCGS, thus placing claims as the "finest known" 1857 five-dollar gold piece. NGC has never graded one above MS-63+, affirming the extreme rarity of choice and better examples. That so few survive seems surprising given a not-so-high but reasonable mintage of 98-thousand coins.

Tilting the coin back and forth beneath good lighting reveals exactly the kind of gleaming, satin-textured flowline effect one expects as the mint had ample experience striking superior half-eagles by 1857. One copper spot clings to the first start and a tiny carbon dot randomly flings into the obverse right field. A loupe also detects a one tiny hairline at the upper chin, with this trio of characteristics perhaps conspiring to limit full gem potential. The reverse seems particularly free from any mentionable defects while the entire presentation takes full advantage of an exceptional strike.
