Lot #651 - 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 PCGS MS-64 CAC
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-4 properly designates that the reverse is in the style of 1878 with feathers running parallel to the arrow shaft. While not truly fully struck, this gleaming Arctic-white example features superior sharpness as well as a deft touch of cameo effect despite fully lustrous fields. The reverse may grade gem all by itself while delicate abrasions visit the cheek and obverse left field to help determine grade.

Lot #823 - 1921-S NGC XF-45 CAC
Hammer: $825
Nickels-Buffalo
A superior quality planchet shows none of the usual alloy problems that plague 1921-S and the strike off of better dies yielded bold details, including a fully delineated horn. The only complaint the cataloger could register would be a slightly excessive supply of sharp abrasions over the bison's back and beneath his belly -- but hey, this IS a 1921-S after all and one can overlook such anomalies in light of the very good production quality.
