Lot #886 - 1826 6 Over 5 SEGS (as described)
Hammer: $475
Large Cents-Liberty Head
Ex-Eliasberg. Newcomb-8, cataloger's grade: AU/surface defects. SEGS indicates a pedigree string of Eliasburg(sp) / B. Max Mehl / William Cutler Atwater and also states "obverse flaw". In addition to the area of roughness at upper left, two small dark scratches at upper right and isolated porosity on the reverse far left are also notable. Despite the relatively small size of the black-and-white photo in the Eliasberg catalog, this coin can be affirmed as lot 563 (May 20-22, 1996). As an early die-state example, the underdigit can be plainly viewed with a loupe, as can relatively beautiful, satiny lustrous surfaces throughout. It is interesting to note that the rarity of N-8 has diminished from R.3 in 1996, to R.2 today.

Lot #587 - 1872 Blundered Date Breen-5491 NGC MS-62
Hammer: $2,300
Silver Dollar-Liberty Seated
Breen-5491, Osburn-Cushing-3, blundered date obverse. A tiny remnant of a blundered digit shows immediately above "2" in the date, quickly denoting what is a rather common yet highly popular variety within the series. This happens to be a handsome example as well at just MS-62, exhibiting gorgeous luster and apricot-grey patina. The reverse all by itself might well grade MS-64 but random, trivial abrasions on the obverse spill over just enough to limit the grade.
