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 #417 - 1883 PCGS MS-64
Hammer: $10,000
Gold $3-Indian Princess Head
23 graded MS-64, 8 higher at PCGS. A very low mintage of 900 pieces explains why so many 1883s are prooflike, although the present example displays mostly typical luster with hints of flashy texture throughout the fields. Strangely, about half of examples seen tend to be mint-state, although few approach gem status. A sharp strike points to minimally used dies, such that even the lower curls of the hair are rather distinctly separated. Stray marks favor the right field just slightly even while overall, this coin managed to evade most of the bagmarks that often plague other issues within the series.
