Lot #916 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln NGC MS-64 BN
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Delightful surface gloss brings out Hershey-brown coloration for this excellent, superbly original key Lincoln cent. Overall even patina and virtually unsullied quality serve to emphasize an utterly exceptional strike. A small mark left of the portrait and a very faint sliding abrasion at upper right are all that defy full gem consideration.

Lot #788 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS Good-6
Hammer: $1,100
Dimes-Mercury
Given the state of grading today, one must step up to at least Good-6 to have decent odds of full rims on both sides, and this ultra-original key dime very nearly delivers. The obverse rim without question offers complete encircling of the legends while the reverse rims bears isolated softness above AMER. The triangular interior of the mintmark instantly grants authenticity to this frequently-counterfeited key representative.
