Lot #840 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS AU-53
Dimes-Mercury
Even to a specialized collector who does not dabble at all in Mercury dimes, the 1916-D requires no introduction, since it has never had challengers for key-date status (ignoring esoteric "grade rarity" discussions) and is famous on multiple levels. The surface of this AU-53 example genuinely has the lustrous quality of an AU-55 coin, and without question, pewter-tan patina draping over the surface appears to be fully original. Therefore, one must probe other aspects of the grading process to figure out why a choice grade wasn't in play. Closer inspection reveals delicate, fluttering hairlines in the obverse right field, and additional superficial hairlining on the portrait, as well as similar activity within the reverse fields. Fortunately, long placement within a correct numismatic environment has permitted the surface to an antiqued appearance that so many enthusiasts covet, and absolutely nowhere can one locate even the tiniest abrasion.

Lot #295 - 1850 $5 Moffat PCGS AU-50
Hammer: $7,500
Territorial Gold-Territorial Gold
Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-7c (R.4), large eagle reverse. While the eagle's portrait on the reverse is not as refined as for K-7a or K-7b, the engraving work for the peripheral letters is of superior quality. A rather remarkable example for only AU-50, significant luster remains evident even after ten points of wear and the surface features nice, orange-gold coloration. Wonderfully problem-free and a truly great opportunity for the private gold collector.
