Lot #429 - 1906 NGC PR-66 Star CAC
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Dab Revisited Consignment. 1 graded PR-66+, 6 higher at NGC, however, at last check, the cataloger could not find in the NGC population report any mention of the present PR-66 "star" example, even though it was certified at least some twenty years ago. In 1906, the mint produced merely 85 proof half-eagles, the lowest mintage since 1898, and these were struck under different aesthetic intent from 19th century pieces. Cameo designations are extremely rare (and DCAM unheard-of) for the late-dates in the series. In this case, NGC did not go quite that far with designation, yet the "star" designation for superior eye-appeal clearly denotes the borderline cameo effect produced by delicate matte texture on the portraits. Mirrors are as deep as ever for the series -- the mint had merely elected to move to an "all brilliant" proof format early in the 1900s.

Curiously, it is actually more difficult to describe high-grade proof examples compared to coins with anomalies that require mention. Here, the surfaces are so immaculate and filled with pristine old-gold character that there is practically nothing off-quality to mention. Extremely faint handling marks can be found with persistence, lurking beneath Liberty's chin and an overly aggressive review finds one single diagonal hairline near the bottom of the obverse right field (ignoring a hairline on the slab itself that reflects in the mirror).

Lot #259 - Fifteen Proof Sets, 1950 through 1963, including a small date cent set, in three Capital Plastics holders
Hammer: $1,600
Collector Lots-Proof Sets
Frosty white devices clash with highly mirrored fields throughout this Capital plastics display set of fifteen consecutive United States proof sets. This run spans from 1950 through 1963 and includes and additional 1960 set that has a small date variety. Most every nickel offers a pleasing steely grey appeal and all but two cents are fiery red examples. The two outliers are the 1950 and 1960 small date Lincoln cents that offer wonderful toning displays that may be worthy of being sent in for certification (ck)?
