  • Lot #429 - 1906 NGC PR-66 Star CAC
  • Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
  • Dab Revisited Consignment. 1 graded PR-66+, 6 higher at NGC, however, at last check, the cataloger could not find in the NGC population report any mention of the present PR-66 "star" example, even though it was certified at least some twenty years ago. In 1906, the mint produced merely 85 proof half-eagles, the lowest mintage since 1898, and these were struck under different aesthetic intent from 19th century pieces. Cameo designations are extremely rare (and DCAM unheard-of) for the late-dates in the series. In this case, NGC did not go quite that far with designation, yet the "star" designation for superior eye-appeal clearly denotes the borderline cameo effect produced by delicate matte texture on the portraits. Mirrors are as deep as ever for the series -- the mint had merely elected to move to an "all brilliant" proof format early in the 1900s.

    Curiously, it is actually more difficult to describe high-grade proof examples compared to coins with anomalies that require mention. Here, the surfaces are so immaculate and filled with pristine old-gold character that there is practically nothing off-quality to mention. Extremely faint handling marks can be found with persistence, lurking beneath Liberty's chin and an overly aggressive review finds one single diagonal hairline near the bottom of the obverse right field (ignoring a hairline on the slab itself that reflects in the mirror).

  • Lot #352 - 1838 NGC MS-63
  • Hammer: $7,500
  • Gold $2.50-Classic Head Quarter Eagle
  • 6 graded MS-63, 16 higher at NGC. With 47-thousand pieces struck off a single pair of dies, it's no wonder early strikes can be somewhat prooflike, whereas this mid/later die-state example features smoothly frosted surface texture yet still retains a smidge of flashy aspect. An excellent strike popped up deeply sculpted peripheral stars on the obverse, as well as extremely intricate details on the eagle's claws. After nearly two centuries, the surface offers bright, pale lemon-gold hue with no distractions. The grade appears to be constrained by limited, but visible stray hairlines within each of the major fields
