Lot #634 - Four Morgan dollars graded MS-65 by PCGS
Hammer: $550
Silver Dollar-Morgan
Espresso Logic Collection. Pearly white fields that are void of any noticeable bag marks and flaws reaches all four corners of this PCGS certified group lot of Gem Uncirculated Morgan silver dollars. Included in this rather handsome lot is an 1879-S, an 1883-O, an 1884, and an 1886. While each of these are more than deserving of their MS-65 grade, the 1879-S has an added layer of attractiveness with nearly proof-like surfaces (ck).

Lot #550 - 1909-S NGC MS-66
Hammer: $17,500
Gold $20-Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
13 graded MS-66, zero higher at NGC. Not so many years ago, 1909-S was considered rare in high grade until a hoard of better examples entered the market and helped increase the supply of gem examples. That said, this spectacular coin, showing exceptional copper-gold color, exceeds the gem grade by a full point at NGC, and places it smack dab into the discussion of finest-known pieces at that grading company (PCGS claims two higher graded examples).

Close inspection reveals superbly frosted surfaces and a lack of major marks; the cataloger suggests the one lone depression down the left edge of Liberty's gown may be the most noticeable. On the reverse, what appears at first to be a micro pinscratch could actually be an interesting strikethrough, which could then be of significant interest as a provenance marker for a coin this scarce. An exquisite, much better date within the series that would be almost impossible to beat in terms of quality.
