Lot #400 - 1842-D Large Date ANACS AU-53 details/cleaned
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Large date, large letters. 1842-D wrangles with 1861-D as a contender for the rarest Dahlonega half-eagle, and a high-grade survivor of any description will be in demand by astute collectors. ANACS claims this AU sharpness example to be cleaned, and indeed, glossy lemon-yellow shows across both sides, accompanied by obvious hairlines in the obverse lower right field. Perhaps as important as anything, the surface actually displays a lot fewer abrasions than typical for a southern mint gold coin.

Silver Dollar-Draped Bust
Robert Michaels Collection. Bolender-1, BB-73 (R.3). Seemingly struck off of unusually late dies, clash marks show throughout each side and die cracks cross over "97" in the date. A softly charming lavender-grey coin, the design elements feature ample wear but all major details are boldly outlined and retain some internal definition. A small nick on the bust might be the only mentionable mark as the balance of the surface remains essentially free from noticeable marks.
