Lot #452 - 1839 Head of 1838 NGC AU-58
Gold $10-Liberty Head Eagle
27 graded AU-58, 13 higher at NGC. 1839/8, large letters, and variously referred to as the "head of 1838". Marvelously sharp overall for an 1830s gold piece, even if the obverse stars display only minimal sharpness. Only limited cartwheel effect is able to project through light mustard-gold patina yet very little actual wear affects major details. Delicate marks fall across both sides, joined by a few mentionable light rim dings on the reverse.

Lot #128 - 1869 $1 Fr# 18 - PMG VF-30 EPQ
Hammer: $1,950
US Currency-Legal Tender Notes, Large
Unusual for this relatively lower grade level, the EPQ annotation draws attention to exceptionally sharp edges and terrific centering for this rainbow. So nice is the appearance that one might think it UNC at first glance, aside from incremental toning of the paper. Absolutely outstanding in every respect.
