Lot #870 - 1799 PCGS G-4
Large Cents-Draped Bust
Elm Then Almond Collection. Sheldon-189, a famously near-impossible key date to get straight-graded at any major grading service. Contrary to many low-grade pieces that have either a weak date or LIBERTY, this example features a nicely bold date, and LIBERTY has partial weakness only at the upper third of each letter. The coin was struck off of early dies, showing a small die chip between "E" of ONE and "T" of CENT -- a worthy diagnostic as to authenticity. An amazingly nice surface for the grade given the utter lack of environmental effects aside from normal circulation.

Lot #115 - Error Currency - 1974 $20/$10 Dallas FRN Fr# 2071-K Dual Denomination - PMG XF-40
Hammer: $18,000
US Currency-Error Currency
Morals And Liberty Collection. Double denomination $20/$10 notes, affectionately referred to as "thirty dollar bills" by some and dated 1974, began to show up in nearby Houston, TX in 1978 and the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank quickly took great pains to retrieve such mistaken notes for destruction. By that time, however, some had already entered commerce and were subsequently snagged by astute collectors, occasionally in time to retain CU freshness. Our note has serial number K46338252B and was pulled out of circulation in time to have collected only minimal wear to the tune of an XF40 grade. (By comparison, SN ...254B off the same sheet was saved immediately and garnered a CU464 EPQ grade some eight years ago, also at PMG.)

"Through the holder", this appears to be a fully original example with nice, bright paper quality and well centered design elements. Twenty points of wear has barely softened the sharpness of the design and created very slight corner wear. Broad margins all the way around and a trophy error place this note well within the realm of a possible record price, considering it has not been on the market in decades.
