Lot #863 - 1865 NGC MS-66+ CAC
Nickel Three-Cent Pieces-Nickel Three-Cent Pieces
12 graded MS-66+, 6 higher at NGC. Common in nearly all grades, the inaugural 3-cent nickel unexpectedly enters rare territory at MS-66+ and above, with only a handful certified as fully superb gems at NGC. Elite, blazing pure nickel-white luster erupts from the surface, illuminating extensive mint frost that creates bountiful luster. Essentially immaculate and certainly free from any mentionable abrasions.

Lot #342 - 1860-S NGC MS-61
Hammer: $2,300
Gold Dollars-Indian Princess Head, Large Head
Mintage: 13,000. 23 graded MS-61, 17 higher at NGC. Lurking in an area of low survival rates in mint-state, the 1860-S is not quite as scarce as preceding years and often comes semi-prooflike, although this specific select representation shows only minimal flash. Roll friction scatters into the fields and takes on slightly deeper orange hue while coppery tones persist in better protected areas.
