Lot #429 - 1906 NGC PR-66 Star CAC
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Dab Revisited Consignment. 1 graded PR-66+, 6 higher at NGC, however, at last check, the cataloger could not find in the NGC population report any mention of the present PR-66 "star" example, even though it was certified at least some twenty years ago. In 1906, the mint produced merely 85 proof half-eagles, the lowest mintage since 1898, and these were struck under different aesthetic intent from 19th century pieces. Cameo designations are extremely rare (and DCAM unheard-of) for the late-dates in the series. In this case, NGC did not go quite that far with designation, yet the "star" designation for superior eye-appeal clearly denotes the borderline cameo effect produced by delicate matte texture on the portraits. Mirrors are as deep as ever for the series -- the mint had merely elected to move to an "all brilliant" proof format early in the 1900s.

Curiously, it is actually more difficult to describe high-grade proof examples compared to coins with anomalies that require mention. Here, the surfaces are so immaculate and filled with pristine old-gold character that there is practically nothing off-quality to mention. Extremely faint handling marks can be found with persistence, lurking beneath Liberty's chin and an overly aggressive review finds one single diagonal hairline near the bottom of the obverse right field (ignoring a hairline on the slab itself that reflects in the mirror).

Lot #812 - 1883 No Cents MS-66, 1889 MS-65+, and a 1902 PR-65, all NGC
Hammer: $1,125
Nickels-Liberty Head
Clem Stevens Collection. Sparkling examples only mean that this trio will appeal to collectors who place high value on eye-appeal. Included are: 1883 "no cents" (surprising cameo despite slightly cracked dies and a very good obverse strike), 1889 (tremendous luster and detailing and not at all prooflike as are many of this date), and 1902 (slight obverse cameo against virtually no contrast on the reverse, all wrapped up in a glassy, pristine package). Three coin lot.
