Lot #795 - 1818/5 NGC MS-63
Quarter Dollars-Capped Bust
Bachelor Simon Collection. Browning-1. The Browning plate coin in this exact same die-state might be available for a quarter-million dollars, but for most other collectors, a choice off-white example like this with formidable luster should do just fine. The underdigit shows nicely under a loupe, as does the satiny greyish surface showing no problems. There truly are no post-production defects to mention but interestingly, faint adjustment marks show across the lower portrait. A boldly appealing example of the highly sought overdate.

Half Cents-Classic Head
Robert Michaels Collection. Cohen-1. It wouldn't seem reasonable for a brown early copper to dazzle the eye with vibrancy, but somehow, this gorgeous burgundy-brown coin offers extensive satiny luster that holds up well to close scrutiny. A razor sharp strike and surfaces free from contact fill in the gaps of expectations of the gem grade level. Stars are mostly boldly detailed and fine dentilation completely surrounds both sides.
