Lot #840 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS AU-53
Dimes-Mercury
Even to a specialized collector who does not dabble at all in Mercury dimes, the 1916-D requires no introduction, since it has never had challengers for key-date status (ignoring esoteric "grade rarity" discussions) and is famous on multiple levels. The surface of this AU-53 example genuinely has the lustrous quality of an AU-55 coin, and without question, pewter-tan patina draping over the surface appears to be fully original. Therefore, one must probe other aspects of the grading process to figure out why a choice grade wasn't in play. Closer inspection reveals delicate, fluttering hairlines in the obverse right field, and additional superficial hairlining on the portrait, as well as similar activity within the reverse fields. Fortunately, long placement within a correct numismatic environment has permitted the surface to an antiqued appearance that so many enthusiasts covet, and absolutely nowhere can one locate even the tiniest abrasion.

Lot #301 - 1855 $20 Kellogg and Company Short Arrows AU in a Capital Plastics holder
Hammer: $7,000
Territorial Gold-Territorial Gold
Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-3b (R.5) "short arrows" reverse. Cataloger's grade: [AU-50]. Lightly worn overall and not showing any blatant singular issues, the surface has managed to fend off the major contact marks that are often seen on such large, heavy coins. Kellogg & Company produced fewer double-eagles in 1855 than they had in the prior year and catalog values generally reflect that fact. The surface has likely been trivially cleaned at one time, as can be inferred by delicate sporadic hairlines, and some light reedmarks show in the obverse left field, joined by few delicate abrasions within the lines of the shield.
