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 #494 - 1855 PCGS AU-55
Hammer: $3,100
Gold $20-Liberty Head Double Eagle
44 graded AU-55, 90 higher at PCGS. Around the middle of the pack in terms of rarity for type-1 double-eagles, the 1855 is reasonably approachable even at the choice grade level. Decent cartwheel effect remains evident on the obverse while the reverse displays even more energy. Enriched with deeper golden hue.
