Lot #327 - 1849-C NGC AU-58
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
22 graded AU-58, 10 higher at NGC. More attractive than a Charlotte quarter-eagle has a right to be, the surface pulls off some intriguing two-toned corn-gold and steely olive-green contrast that helps ignite very good visual appeal. Recognized as a grade-rarity with hardly any UNC examples known, this borderline-UNC coin further surprises potential bidders with a much better strike than expected, featuring virtually fully realized wing feathers and excellent dentilation all around both sides.

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.
