Lot #391 - 1878 NGC MS-64+
Gold $3-Indian Princess Head
Unquestionably very attractive, thick, rippling frosted texture peaks-and-valleys through the fields and creates impressively opulent appeal for this oft-used type date. Admirable strike quality nearly brought up full details, just missing perfection on the lowest cascaded curls as well as at the ribbon knot on the reverse. Slight strike-doubling shows on the lips, and both sides incur an absolute minimum of contact marks -- appreciably fewer than what are often seen for very choice 3-dollar gold pieces.

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.
