Lot #348 - 1904 PCGS PR-67CAM
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
3 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 higher at PCGS. Between them, PCGS and NGC have managed fewer than fifteen aggregate UCAM/DCAM events in any grade, speaking to the difficulty of locating a specimen with superior contrast. This is partly due to a lack of special effort on the part of the mint to create high-contrast proof dies after the turn of the century. Nevertheless, this coin boasts exceptionally reflective fields on the obverse -- not quite UCAM but close -- and very good mirrors on the reverse. Contrast is thereby enhanced, but truthfully, the frosted-matte texture on the devices is also not strong enough to yield the kind of contrast that a UCAM designation demands.

Technically, the coin appears virtually flawless under 8x magnification, with fields that are as bright and pristine as possible and showing an absolute absence of hairlines. A single, tiny, sintered dot floats in space beneath the hair bun, just right of the smallest imaginable comma-shaped abrasion, and together, these could provide a pedigree marker for future collectors. A lintmark also occupies one point of the eleventh star.

Lot #797 - 1795 LM-1 (R.6) NGC MS-62
Hammer: $15,500
Half Dimes-Flowing Hair
Robert Michaels Collection. Logan-McCloskey-1 (R.6). A very rare die-marriage, the cataloger looked at as many examples as could be found, and could discover very few others in such a late die-state. In addition to the die clashing seen on many, this example displays a fabulous die-crack extending from the ear, through the forehead and up between "TY". Add to this the discovery in such outstanding high grade (relatively speaking) and one can only hope the coin ends up in the cabinet of a researcher, or true fan of the half-dime series. Modest luster emanates from the peripheral areas where delightful chartreuse-lime and cobalt have seized hold, while lavender-grey and peach hues occupy much of the central areas. A small, isolated dig at the bottom of the portrait may be the lone grade determinant.
