Lot #413 - 1873-S NGC AU-53
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Cheddars de Voirs Collection. 16 graded AU-53, 29 higher at NGC. In a down year for gold, like 1873, San Francisco struck only 31-thousand half-eagles, accounting for a low number of high-grade survivors. The casually worn surface here shows a few more tiny marks than typical, but ample luster brings the grade near the choice level. Attractive, subtle steely green and khaki-gold predominate.

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.
