Lot #151 - 1901 $10 Bison Fr# 121m - PCGS VF-25/minor glue
US Currency-Legal Tender Notes, Large
When is a mule a bison? As you ponder that question, take notice of backplate 322 for this bone-grey note that appears a little undergraded at first glance. The graders may have netted a few points off due to a brief tear that enters the design at far left (not mentioned) as well as "minor glue" mentioned on the holder.

Lot #871 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln PCGS MS-64RB CAC
Hammer: $2,900
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Growth Collection. There was a phase about ten years ago when MS-64 RB was considered "best" for the 1909-S VDB in terms of bang for the buck, and perhaps that holds true today. This example certainly seems on the verge of a red designation as either side gleams with 85% of the vintage brick-orange hue. Interestingly, this key cent was possibly struck off of a very slightly clipped planchet, since what appears to be a trio of tiny rim dings at first glance prove, upon closer inspection, to be almost certainly as-struck. An exceptionally detailed Lincoln cent with virtually no disturbances that would meaningfully preclude higher grade consideration.
