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 #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.
