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 #359 - 1850-C PCGS XF-45 CAC
Hammer: $3,500
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
26 graded XF-45, 81 higher at PCGS. Considered challenging but not particularly rare, this appears to be a significantly nicer example than average given lovely, grungy surfaces and attractive, original rose-gold hue within the fields. Even the strike does not disappoint despite being taken off of dies that clashed many times prior. And perhaps best of all, aside from one prominent surface nick above the head, the coin has not been as heavily abraded as many, leading to a premier opportunity for the Charlotte gold enthusiast.
