Lot #853 - 1901 NGC PR-67 Star CAMEO CAC
Nickels-Liberty Head
31 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 graded PR-67 CAM "star", 7 higher at NGC. Statistically, UCAM proof nickels minted after 1900 are highly elusive, and even this astonishing jewel shows UCAM contrast only the obverse, the reverse "merely" CAM. Exquisitely preserved and never mishandled, hairlines avoid the fields completely and the most careful examination finds no contact marks of any kind.

Lot #428 - 1857 PCGS MS-64+ TOP POP
Hammer: $20,500
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
2 graded MS-64+, zero higher at PCGS, thus placing claims as the "finest known" 1857 five-dollar gold piece. NGC has never graded one above MS-63+, affirming the extreme rarity of choice and better examples. That so few survive seems surprising given a not-so-high but reasonable mintage of 98-thousand coins.

Tilting the coin back and forth beneath good lighting reveals exactly the kind of gleaming, satin-textured flowline effect one expects as the mint had ample experience striking superior half-eagles by 1857. One copper spot clings to the first start and a tiny carbon dot randomly flings into the obverse right field. A loupe also detects a one tiny hairline at the upper chin, with this trio of characteristics perhaps conspiring to limit full gem potential. The reverse seems particularly free from any mentionable defects while the entire presentation takes full advantage of an exceptional strike.
