Lot #902 - 1869/69 RPD FS-301 S-3 PCGS MS-65RB CAC
Small Cents-Indian Head
Bucky The Badger Consignment. 133 graded MS-65 RB, 15 higher at PCGS. Snow-3, FS-301 was once believed to represent a 9/8 overdate but that hypothesis has fallen out of favor as it is now believed to represent 1869/69, as spelled out on the sticker-happy PCGS slab. The obverse has mellowed only modestly away from the vintage copper-red hue while the reverse presents as at least 80% brown. Important to an issue considered difficult even without the added fame of the Snow variety, neither side carries noticeable evidence of carbon, and an impeccable strike brought about a four-diamond obverse.

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.
