Lot #429 - 1906 NGC PR-66 Star CAC
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Dab Revisited Consignment. 1 graded PR-66+, 6 higher at NGC, however, at last check, the cataloger could not find in the NGC population report any mention of the present PR-66 "star" example, even though it was certified at least some twenty years ago. In 1906, the mint produced merely 85 proof half-eagles, the lowest mintage since 1898, and these were struck under different aesthetic intent from 19th century pieces. Cameo designations are extremely rare (and DCAM unheard-of) for the late-dates in the series. In this case, NGC did not go quite that far with designation, yet the "star" designation for superior eye-appeal clearly denotes the borderline cameo effect produced by delicate matte texture on the portraits. Mirrors are as deep as ever for the series -- the mint had merely elected to move to an "all brilliant" proof format early in the 1900s. Curiously, it is actually more difficult to describe high-grade proof examples compared to coins with anomalies that require mention. Here, the surfaces are so immaculate and filled with pristine old-gold character that there is practically nothing off-quality to mention. Extremely faint handling marks can be found with persistence, lurking beneath Liberty's chin and an overly aggressive review finds one single diagonal hairline near the bottom of the obverse right field (ignoring a hairline on the slab itself that reflects in the mirror).

Lot #843 - 1841 CACG PR-66RB TOP POP
Hammer: $20,000
Large Cents-Braided Hair
Newcomb-1, R.5 as a proof-only die-marriage. With a total population estimated around fifty pieces, the 1841 cent provides one of the very few opportunities there are for obtaining an early proof copper for "a reasonable sum" of money. An incredible PR-65 RD example was certified by NGC perhaps 20 years ago, while this red-brown example scores an extra point in grade, but offers somewhat muted copper-red color with velvety greyish-brown overtones. The cataloger could not quickly identify a recent sale of this same coin, but pedigree markers might include a faint, linear abrasion between the eleventh and twelfth stars, as well as a small carbon dot clinging to the top-left of the upper loop of "8" in the date. Somehow, the CAC graders permitted two greyish crumbles to adhere to the obverse but overall, the coin offers splendid quality for the early proof collector.
