Lot #756 - 1831 PCGS MS-65
Half Dollars-Capped Bust, Lettered Edge
Iam B. Kami Collection. 62 graded MS-65, 10 higher at PCGS. Overton-111, one of the most common die-marriages, and although Overton did not specifically call out die-states, the wavy crack underscoring the date makes it a cinch to attribute against all the other common varieties for the year. Delightful luster brightens up the appearance of this rose-gold, grey and Pacific-blue example, and the surface has managed to avoid nearly all signs of contact. A single nick on the throat and three tiny digs on the bust are all that need be accounted for in a complete description.

Lot #869 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln NGC MS-62 RB
Hammer: $1,750
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Growth Collection. Struck to a typical level of sharpness for the date. All by itself, the obverse should grade at least MS-64 RB, or possibly fully red given ecstatic luster on that side and a near-total lack of potential distractions. On the reverse, an unusually blueberry-grey splash towards the left is to prominent to ignore and assuredly counts heavily toward constraining the grade, although otherwise, this side would be predominantly red as well.
