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 #602 - Seven Morgan silver dollars, all NGC MS-64 (no line)
Hammer: $750
Silver Dollar-Morgan
Conservatively graded is the overriding theme for this seven-coin lot of NGC certified Morgan silver dollars. Each of these are housed in early generation “fatty” style NGC holders and additionally they have all been graded as MS-64. Light traces of toning that clings to the peripheries of each issue makes one believe that these are truly original examples. Included in this lot is an 1880-S, 3x 1881-S, an 1882-S, an 1883-O, and an 1885-O (ck).
