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 #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.
