Lot #918 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln PCGS MS-64RD
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Bucky The Badger Consignment. Coppery champagne-orange offers slightly matte texture, especially on the reverse where the aspect could easily be mistaken for a matte-proof striking. The reverse falls half a shade closer to the orange hue for which 1909 cents of all kinds are known, this key also flaunting bold, sharp details from a nearly full strike. Perhaps a couple of microscopic carbon flecks on the reverse could be mentioned, but otherwise, the surface remains cheerfully free from distractions.

Gold Dollars-Liberty Head
Lemonade Stand Collection. One could foresee the coin getting into a low-end UNC slab at some point but there is no denying the presence of faint, feathery hairlines on either side. Decently struck to the point that all four digits in the date were brought up.

I have to admit, this one won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but you will have to admit that it’s pretty darn cool! The center has a precious orangey marquise coral cabochon. There is a freeform, bezel set fossilized ammonite stone and the piece is completed with a elongated cabochon identified as rutilated quartz. None of the stones have indications of polymers or dyes, Stone Group Laboratories report #240827R-SJ. This piece has a pin on the back and also opens so it can be added to chain. Dimensions 4" x 1.5", 26.2 dwt.
