Lot #866 - 1873 Open 3 PCGS PR-64BN (green label)
Two Cent Pieces-Two Cent Pieces
Cheddars de Voirs Collection. 32 graded PR-64 BN, 23 higher at PCGS. Needle sharp throughout, the shield displays meticulously straight, defined lines and the motto appears fully struck save a breath of softness at "WE". Delicately glowing brick red accents flame outward from the devices but there is no doubt at all that brown patina occupies the vast majority of the surface. There are no obvious grade-limiting detriments to suggest limiting the grade to PR-64.

Lot #428 - 1857 PCGS MS-64+ TOP POP
Hammer: $20,500
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
2 graded MS-64+, zero higher at PCGS, thus placing claims as the "finest known" 1857 five-dollar gold piece. NGC has never graded one above MS-63+, affirming the extreme rarity of choice and better examples. That so few survive seems surprising given a not-so-high but reasonable mintage of 98-thousand coins.

Tilting the coin back and forth beneath good lighting reveals exactly the kind of gleaming, satin-textured flowline effect one expects as the mint had ample experience striking superior half-eagles by 1857. One copper spot clings to the first start and a tiny carbon dot randomly flings into the obverse right field. A loupe also detects a one tiny hairline at the upper chin, with this trio of characteristics perhaps conspiring to limit full gem potential. The reverse seems particularly free from any mentionable defects while the entire presentation takes full advantage of an exceptional strike.

Lot #231 - 18K Yellow Gold Pocket Watch
Hammer: $1,600
Jewelry-Watches
This 18K pocket watch has a beautiful movement marked “E.KOEN, GENEVE, No 77628”. Unfortunately, the chiming mechanism doesn't seem to work. On the inside lid it is engraved “Fr. Stanley Goodwin, Christmas 1891, H.R. EKEGREN GENEVA” and the outside back lid has a fancy monogram of “C.H.S.” Winds, sets and runs. 72.9 dwt.
