Lot #840 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS AU-53
Dimes-Mercury
Even to a specialized collector who does not dabble at all in Mercury dimes, the 1916-D requires no introduction, since it has never had challengers for key-date status (ignoring esoteric "grade rarity" discussions) and is famous on multiple levels. The surface of this AU-53 example genuinely has the lustrous quality of an AU-55 coin, and without question, pewter-tan patina draping over the surface appears to be fully original. Therefore, one must probe other aspects of the grading process to figure out why a choice grade wasn't in play. Closer inspection reveals delicate, fluttering hairlines in the obverse right field, and additional superficial hairlining on the portrait, as well as similar activity within the reverse fields. Fortunately, long placement within a correct numismatic environment has permitted the surface to an antiqued appearance that so many enthusiasts covet, and absolutely nowhere can one locate even the tiniest abrasion.

Lot #825 - 1935-S/S/S and 1938-D/D/D/S, both NGC MS-65
Hammer: $290
Nickels-Buffalo
Clem Stevens Collection. Over-mintmarks immediately appeal to the collector seeking interesting diversions into the burgeoning field of Buffalo nickel varieties. Included are: 1935-S/S/S (appealing violet-orange patina and an excellent strike to go with the bold OMM), and 1938-D/D/D/S (the usual opulent nickel-white eye-appeal attending to a boatload of mintmarks on the reverse). Two coin lot.
