Lot #760 - 1837 Reeded Edge NGC MS-62
Half Dollars-Capped Bust, Reeded Edge
Bachelor Simon Collection. GR-17, a common die-marriage readily attributed by the extensive reverse die cracks. Softly lustrous and satiny overall despite at least two bold die clashes several degrees apart from each other and the original die rotation. A curious narrow gash on the face clearly determines the grade, but overall, this is a highly pleasing type coin with a hands-length smooth appearance and an unusually bold strike.

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.
