Lot #11 - Bolivia - 1774-PTS JR 8 reales - NGC MS-63
World Coins-Bolivia
KM#55, Potosi mint, Charles III. Dispersal of a small hoard many years ago explains why mint-state examples of this date become available from time to time. Bright surfaces display more than a hint of semi-prooflike character, including some cameo contrast. Sharply double struck and featuring pronounced details on both sides.

Lot #419 - 1818 BD-1 NGC MS-63
Hammer: $49,750
Gold $5-Capped Bust to Left Half Eagle
Bass-Dannreuther-1 (R.5), early dies with no cracks. Perhaps as a result of the use of fresh dies, both sides received delightful sharpness as-struck, and the kind of beckoning luster that is requisite for a choice grade. A mere whisper on each of the eagle's talons could be the only possible indications of a strike that barely missed 100% accuracy. The obverse shows trivial adjustment marks that somehow evade the field and land only on the extreme right edge -- a bona fide perk for the collector who demands a minimum of possible distractions. One tiny copper spot past the fifth star hardly requires mention, but what must be noticed is the decidedly luxuriant eye-appeal that almost seems impossible of 200+ year-old gold coinage.
