Lot #413 - 1873-S NGC AU-53
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Cheddars de Voirs Collection. 16 graded AU-53, 29 higher at NGC. In a down year for gold, like 1873, San Francisco struck only 31-thousand half-eagles, accounting for a low number of high-grade survivors. The casually worn surface here shows a few more tiny marks than typical, but ample luster brings the grade near the choice level. Attractive, subtle steely green and khaki-gold predominate.

Lot #294 - 1849 Ten D. $10 Moffat NGC XF-40
Hammer: $13,750
Territorial Gold-Territorial Gold
Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-6a (R.5+). Though always weakly detailed, the central intricacies seem even flatter than usual for the type on the obverse, while the reverse seems a trifle sharper by comparison. More important, perhaps, the surface exhibits endearing carrot-gold hue that suggests a highly original surface. Trivial nicks in Liberty's central hair are the most obvious sign of contact, and the cataloger notes a shallow rim bump on the reverse at far right.
