Lot #930 - 1955/1955 Doubled Die Obverse, UNC details/cleaned
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Cataloger's grade: [UNC/dipped], even though subsequent album placement induced unexpectedly attractive multi-circumferential rings of color to the obverse. Closer inspection finds some glossy texture, but the mistreatment of the surface integrity seems only mildly obvious at this point.

Lot #392 - 1911-D Strong D PCGS MS-62
Hammer: $8,000
Gold $2.50-Indian Head Quarter Eagle
At first glance, the quality seems much superior to MS-62, and even careful scrutiny will find only the most trivial abrasions, about the size of flea specks. MS-64 almost seems like a possibility until one discovers light hairlines erratically scattered within the fields, albeit they are clearly toned down by the attractive yellow-gold color. Almost fully struck and showing a nice, sharp "D" mintmark on the reverse.
