Lot #873 - 1803 100/000 PCGS VF-25
Large Cents-Draped Bust
Sheldon-249, 100/000 fraction, and apparently die state II with the "mumps" die defect attached to Liberty's jaw. From a commercial standpoint, sharpness may be slightly better than VF-25, this offset by a rather generous helping of small circulation marks strewn across the obverse. Decent eye appeal unfolds on both sides due to much nicer powder-chocolate patina that shows remarkably few distractions other than those abrasions.

Lot #18 - China - 1927 $1 "Military Issue" L&M-58 (incorrect on label) E NENTO CIIINA Spelling Error, DDR - PCGS AU details/cleaned
Hammer: $775
World Coins-China
L&M-58, KM#318a.1, error variety much akin to an "Office Boy" reverse such that MENENTO and CIIINA are misspelled. The PCGS insert incorrectly states "LM-51E" which actually appears to be a non-existent variety, perhaps a perversion of "LM-58"? If so, that would be perfectly in character for this famous and hotly pursued variety which has very few known examples. A "cleaned" disclaimer might scare away nobody who understands the popular nature of the coin, but not mentioned is a tiny dig in the obverse left field that has been filled in. A curious example on multiple levels yet one which will see persistent bids for sure.
