Lot #897 - 1856 Flying Eagle NGC PR-45
Small Cents-Flying Eagle
Snow-5, identifiable right away by noting a point on the bottom of "U" in UNITED, and a tiny dot inside the upper left serif of "N" in CENT. A sensational-for-the-grade Flying eagle cent garners the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award almost by virtue of pristine surface quality alone, with smooth placid fields surrounding beautifully high relief design elements. Deep, dusky olive-brown color could not possibly be more ideal for a lightly worn 1856, yet circulation was kind, imparting absolutely no distracting marks or spots. One ancient, faint hairline descends from "M' in AMERICA but blends completely into the surface.

Lot #483 - 1910-S PCGS MS-64
Hammer: $9,750
Gold $10-Indian Head Eagle
35 graded MS-64, 11 higher at PCGS. 1910-S has that curious population distribution whereby it exists by the thousands in circulated grades, and the hundreds in lower mint-state grade. Coins that grade near or at the gem grade level are an altogether different story as it suddenly becomes a bona fide key -- a "Top 10" sort of coin in other words. Given the mintage of 811-thousand, one must assume that the issue was widely distributed to circulation or melted.

As befits San Francisco gold production of the era, this is an intensely attractive and smoothly lustrous example that benefits from a decent strike. Trivial softness exists toward the ends of some feathers and at the eagle's shoulders, though. A carbon speck just off the end of Liberty's nose has expanded a bit into a lavender spot while a splash of additional lilac-gold toning spreads out over the upper right area above the headdress.
