Lot #867 - 1793 Wreath, Vine, and Bars PCGS F details/environmental damage
Large Cents-Flowing Hair
Sheldon-6 (R.3), with a vine-and-bars edge per PCGS. Border legends are as bold as can be and stand well clear from a partially dentilated obverse rim. The reverse features a considerable majority of the dentils throughout. PCGS calls out "environmental damage", yet the surface is not nearly as bad as that might imply, showing dusky wallet-brown with scant, tiny planchet voids and slightly uneasy surface texture.

Lot #428 - 1857 PCGS MS-64+ TOP POP
Hammer: $20,500
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
2 graded MS-64+, zero higher at PCGS, thus placing claims as the "finest known" 1857 five-dollar gold piece. NGC has never graded one above MS-63+, affirming the extreme rarity of choice and better examples. That so few survive seems surprising given a not-so-high but reasonable mintage of 98-thousand coins.

Tilting the coin back and forth beneath good lighting reveals exactly the kind of gleaming, satin-textured flowline effect one expects as the mint had ample experience striking superior half-eagles by 1857. One copper spot clings to the first start and a tiny carbon dot randomly flings into the obverse right field. A loupe also detects a one tiny hairline at the upper chin, with this trio of characteristics perhaps conspiring to limit full gem potential. The reverse seems particularly free from any mentionable defects while the entire presentation takes full advantage of an exceptional strike.
