  • Collector Lots-Proof Sets
  • Any collector of early United States proof sets can tell you just how difficult it has become to find these sets “out in the wild”. A consecutive run of five such sets from 1938 through 1942 fill this group lot. Each of these sets are carefully housed in a Capital plastics holder and offers superb quality. Nearly all of the silver issues offer trace amounts of light toning while the nickels and cents show slightly higher degrees of toning that is typical for the type. There is very little question to the natural integrity of each of these sets (ck).

  • 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.
