Lot #867 - 1793 Wreath, Vine, and Bars PCGS F details/environmental damage
Large Cents-Flowing Hair
Sheldon-6 (R.3), with a vine-and-bars edge per PCGS. Border legends are as bold as can be and stand well clear from a partially dentilated obverse rim. The reverse features a considerable majority of the dentils throughout. PCGS calls out "environmental damage", yet the surface is not nearly as bad as that might imply, showing dusky wallet-brown with scant, tiny planchet voids and slightly uneasy surface texture.

Lot #550 - 1909-S NGC MS-66
Hammer: $17,500
Gold $20-Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
13 graded MS-66, zero higher at NGC. Not so many years ago, 1909-S was considered rare in high grade until a hoard of better examples entered the market and helped increase the supply of gem examples. That said, this spectacular coin, showing exceptional copper-gold color, exceeds the gem grade by a full point at NGC, and places it smack dab into the discussion of finest-known pieces at that grading company (PCGS claims two higher graded examples).

Close inspection reveals superbly frosted surfaces and a lack of major marks; the cataloger suggests the one lone depression down the left edge of Liberty's gown may be the most noticeable. On the reverse, what appears at first to be a micro pinscratch could actually be an interesting strikethrough, which could then be of significant interest as a provenance marker for a coin this scarce. An exquisite, much better date within the series that would be almost impossible to beat in terms of quality.
