Lot #413 - 1873-S NGC AU-53
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Cheddars de Voirs Collection. 16 graded AU-53, 29 higher at NGC. In a down year for gold, like 1873, San Francisco struck only 31-thousand half-eagles, accounting for a low number of high-grade survivors. The casually worn surface here shows a few more tiny marks than typical, but ample luster brings the grade near the choice level. Attractive, subtle steely green and khaki-gold predominate.

Lot #751 - 1818/5 NGC MS-63
Hammer: $4,000
Quarter Dollars-Capped Bust
Robert Michaels Collection. Browning-1. One of the most outrageous coins to exist is the Newman example of this same die-marriage graded NGC MS-67 "star"... but it likely costs a third of a million dollars today. For everyone else, there are nicer choice UNC examples like the present salmon-grey specimen also certified by NGC. The surface seems immaculate -- certainly less bagmarked than one expects of the grade while an impressive strike brings up all of the stars as well as intriguing clash marks strewn into the fields. Minimal planchet striations over the lower bust are likely adjustment marks but they were mostly ironed out by the excellent strike. In this die state, all that remains visible of the underdigit is a small diagonal in the upper loop of "8" and a tiny remnant of the vertical part of the flag adhering to the left.

Lot #89 - 18K Yellow Gold Jade Pendant
Hammer: $1,500
Jewelry-Pendants
Probably purchased in China during the 1960s, may we offer this absolutely stunning pendant fashioned from 18K yellow gold, diamonds and the most translucent green Jade. The three diamonds measure 2.5mm each for an approximate total weight of .18 cttw, SI clarity, I color. While most people know that the green color of a candy life saver is the best color of jade to own, the second most prized feature of a piece of jade is the translucency. This piece, although it looks like a moss green jade, if you get it near the light and under a loupe, it's more of an emerald green. And when I say this piece is translucent, I am NOT kidding. It is just so clear and so nicely carved that you know the artisan took great pride in creating the female deity you see here. While the piece is fashioned as a pendant, it also stands on its own and can be used as a small shrine. As to the deity this piece represents, I know not. It is what it is - just GORGEOUS! Dimensions 2” x 2.5”, 22 dwt.
