Lot #230 - Collection of Barber and Mercury dimes in a Dansco album
Collector Lots-Dimes
Cris Lindy-Ping Collection. Twice as nice. While a complete run of Barber dimes is a fairly seldom seen phenomenon, seeing that in tandem with a completed run of Mercury dimes is a far greater achievement! Here lies both a complete collection of Barber and Mercury dimes and they are all under one roof inside of a Dansco album. There are certainly too many examples to mention them all her but the following standouts are present: an 1892-S (XF+), an 1893 (AU), an 1893-O (VF, cleaned), an 1893-S (XF+), an 1894 (XF), an 1894-O (VF), an 1895 (AU, cleaned), an 1895-O (GD+), an 1895-S (XF, cleaned), an 1896-O (VF), an 1896-S (VF), an 1897-O (VF, rim bruise), an 1897-S (VF), a 1901-S (F+), a 1902-S (VF, cleaned), a 1903-S (VF), a 1904-S (VF), a 1905-O (VF+), a 1906 (AU), a 1908 (BU), a 1909-D (XF, cleaned), a 1913-S (F), a 1916 (AU++), a 1916-D PCGS GD-04, a 1917 (AU++), a 1917-D (AU), a 1921 (F), a 1921-D (VF, cleaned), and a 1942/1 (VF, light clean). Nearly every example from 1934 through 1945 is in Choice Uncirculated condition and wraps up this set very nicely (ck).

Lot #458 - 1839 Large Letters, Head of 1838 NGC AU-55
Hammer: $7,500
Gold $10-Capped Bust to Right Eagle
Mintage: 25,801 for a variety appropriately known as the "old portrait" obverse. The design compared side by side with that of latter years is distinctly different and leaner by comparison. The right edge of "9" in the date shows recutting sometimes mistaken as 98, and the portrait has a swirl of hair laying across the ear, rather than above it.

An untroubled example with minimal luster, the surface exhibits mostly mustard-yellow accents over pale golden color typical of the era. While rather well struck overall, five points of wear, likely joined by limits of then-current technology kept away perfect delineation of the wavy hair at the top of the portrait. The eagle's feathers are individually sculpted, however. The coin overall shows only expectant small abrasions -- not a single major mark requires separate mention.
