  • Gold $3-Indian Princess Head
  • Unquestionably very attractive, thick, rippling frosted texture peaks-and-valleys through the fields and creates impressively opulent appeal for this oft-used type date. Admirable strike quality nearly brought up full details, just missing perfection on the lowest cascaded curls as well as at the ribbon knot on the reverse. Slight strike-doubling shows on the lips, and both sides incur an absolute minimum of contact marks -- appreciably fewer than what are often seen for very choice 3-dollar gold pieces.

  • Hammer: $49,750
  • Gold $5-Capped Bust to Left Half Eagle
  • Bass-Dannreuther-1 (R.5), early dies with no cracks. Perhaps as a result of the use of fresh dies, both sides received delightful sharpness as-struck, and the kind of beckoning luster that is requisite for a choice grade. A mere whisper on each of the eagle's talons could be the only possible indications of a strike that barely missed 100% accuracy. The obverse shows trivial adjustment marks that somehow evade the field and land only on the extreme right edge -- a bona fide perk for the collector who demands a minimum of possible distractions. One tiny copper spot past the fifth star hardly requires mention, but what must be noticed is the decidedly luxuriant eye-appeal that almost seems impossible of 200+ year-old gold coinage.
