Witmor Farms Collection. That’s Capital! Three various Capital plastic board sets form this large group lot and includes a 20th century Type set, a proof Lincoln cent set, and a short set of Mercury dimes.

Without question the 20th century Type set is the highlight of the group and includes the following note worthy examples: a 1902 Indian cent (AU+), an 1883 “No Cents” Liberty nickel (AU), a 1936 Buffalo nickel (BU), a 1908 Barber quarter (AU-58), a 1926 Standing Liberty quarter (AU-58), a 1907-D Barber half-dollar (AU-58), a 1944 Walking Liberty half-dollar (BU), and a 1900 Morgan dollar (BU) (ck).

Lot #457 - 1929 PCGS MS-64+ CAC
Hammer: $52,750
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
17 graded MS-64+, 14 (all MS-65) higher at PCGS. The final entry into the Indian half-eagle also turns out to be one of the most difficult to obtain at the gem grade level. In some respects, 1929 could be considered the "easiest key" or the "most difficult semi-key" depending on how one delineates rarity. Probably only six other dates prove more elusive to collectors at this level.

Strong luster checks off the first item on the list of accolades, followed immediately by what appears to be unexpectedly and pleasantly original color, including medium golden iridescence joined by much grapefruit-orange accenting. A very good but not quite excellent strike is mostly responsible for all that nice energy, but the grade gets held back slightly by two tiny nicks on the brow and another smaller nick on the lip.
