  • Lot #502 - 1857-S Spiked Shield S.S. Central America with gold dust PCGS MS-65+
  • Gold $20-Liberty Head Double Eagle
  • Ex-S.S. Central America, "spiked shield" reverse. 9 graded MS-65+, 17 higher at PCGS. The enormous PCGS slab also contains a pinch of "California gold dust" although the encapsulated particles are irritatingly difficult to appreciate through the curiously frosted viewing panel. What is easy to appreciate is the exceptional quality of the 1857-S double-eagle, which appears fully MS-66 to the cataloger's eye. Outrageous, very-bright pale luster predominates over the impressively detailed motifs that suffer merely trivial little bagmarks. Upgrade may be denied by PCGS due to faint, shiny sliding abrasions left and below the chin but otherwise, the surface hardly looks like something which spent more than a century within the salty waters of the Atlantic.

  • Lot #450 - 1909-O CACG AU-58
  • Hammer: $15,750
  • Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
  • New Orleans struck Indian gold half-eagles only in 1909 and the low emission of 34-thousand pieces created an instant rarity as this and the 1929 are the two true keys to a complete collection. Ample detailing actually appears quite bold given a couple of points of wear from circulation and the sharpness overall hands-down exceeds expectations. The yellowish surface received scarcely anything more than a few whisper-light hairlines from circulation, and extremely light, shiny friction on design highpoints. There can be now doubt that this coin was "UNC" in past marketing events (prior to the days of certification) and almost seems suitable for a second opinion, although a coin of this scarcity will get heavily scrutinized by any competent grader.
