Lot #348 - 1904 PCGS PR-67CAM
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
3 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 higher at PCGS. Between them, PCGS and NGC have managed fewer than fifteen aggregate UCAM/DCAM events in any grade, speaking to the difficulty of locating a specimen with superior contrast. This is partly due to a lack of special effort on the part of the mint to create high-contrast proof dies after the turn of the century. Nevertheless, this coin boasts exceptionally reflective fields on the obverse -- not quite UCAM but close -- and very good mirrors on the reverse. Contrast is thereby enhanced, but truthfully, the frosted-matte texture on the devices is also not strong enough to yield the kind of contrast that a UCAM designation demands.

Technically, the coin appears virtually flawless under 8x magnification, with fields that are as bright and pristine as possible and showing an absolute absence of hairlines. A single, tiny, sintered dot floats in space beneath the hair bun, just right of the smallest imaginable comma-shaped abrasion, and together, these could provide a pedigree marker for future collectors. A lintmark also occupies one point of the eleventh star.

Lot #822 - 1919-D NGC MS-64
Hammer: $1,700
Nickels-Buffalo
134 graded MS-64, 32 higher at NGC. Long recognized as a strike-rarity within the series, one might not be aware of that reputation when examining only this boldly defined and cleanly struck example. Excellent definition down the Indian's braid, across the top of his head and an unusually sharp horn and tail (for the date) all speak to the primary reason a specialist will want to pursue this nickel. That said, the cataloger suspects the surface has been coated with a thin layer of protectant which creates a slightly glossy effect.
