  • Lot #429 - 1906 NGC PR-66 Star CAC
  • Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
  • Dab Revisited Consignment. 1 graded PR-66+, 6 higher at NGC, however, at last check, the cataloger could not find in the NGC population report any mention of the present PR-66 "star" example, even though it was certified at least some twenty years ago. In 1906, the mint produced merely 85 proof half-eagles, the lowest mintage since 1898, and these were struck under different aesthetic intent from 19th century pieces. Cameo designations are extremely rare (and DCAM unheard-of) for the late-dates in the series. In this case, NGC did not go quite that far with designation, yet the "star" designation for superior eye-appeal clearly denotes the borderline cameo effect produced by delicate matte texture on the portraits. Mirrors are as deep as ever for the series -- the mint had merely elected to move to an "all brilliant" proof format early in the 1900s. Curiously, it is actually more difficult to describe high-grade proof examples compared to coins with anomalies that require mention. Here, the surfaces are so immaculate and filled with pristine old-gold character that there is practically nothing off-quality to mention. Extremely faint handling marks can be found with persistence, lurking beneath Liberty's chin and an overly aggressive review finds one single diagonal hairline near the bottom of the obverse right field (ignoring a hairline on the slab itself that reflects in the mirror).

  • Lot #250 - Collection of 12 gold type coins in a Capital Plastics holder
  • Hammer: $11,250
  • Collector Lots-Gold Type
  • Morals And Liberty Collection. For most collectors, the thought of collecting an entire series of United States gold coins by denomination is simply an unattainable dream. This twelve piece United States gold type set is the answer to the aforementioned conundrum. Yellow-orange luster drips from the surfaces of several of these examples that includes a 1923 $20 St. Gauden ( AU++), a 1910 $10 Indian (AU++), a 1909-D $5 Indian (XF, cleaned), a 1928 $2.50 Indian (XF, cleaned), an 1853 Type 1 $1 Liberty (AU), an 1854 Type 2 $1 Indian Princess (XF++), an 1874 Type 3 $1 Indian Princess (AU), an 1895 $20 Liberty (AU+), a 1902 $10 Liberty (AU+), a 1903-S $5 Liberty (AU+), and an 1873-S $2.50 Liberty (AU, heavy cleaned). All of these are nicely housed in a black Capital plastics display board that provides a very appealing contrast (ck).
