Lot #591 - 1799 PCGS VF-25
Silver Dollar-Draped Bust
Bolender-8, BB-165, R.3, one of the die-marriages for the series that had exclusive use of both the obverse and reverse dies. "N" in UNITED was originally punched in upside-down and subsequently corrected, this earlier die-state coin retaining remnants of an errant serif between "NI". Nicer patina visits this smooth and honestly worn example, for which there are no sudden or unexpected abrasions.

Lot #751 - 1818/5 NGC MS-63
Hammer: $4,000
Quarter Dollars-Capped Bust
Robert Michaels Collection. Browning-1. One of the most outrageous coins to exist is the Newman example of this same die-marriage graded NGC MS-67 "star"... but it likely costs a third of a million dollars today. For everyone else, there are nicer choice UNC examples like the present salmon-grey specimen also certified by NGC. The surface seems immaculate -- certainly less bagmarked than one expects of the grade while an impressive strike brings up all of the stars as well as intriguing clash marks strewn into the fields. Minimal planchet striations over the lower bust are likely adjustment marks but they were mostly ironed out by the excellent strike. In this die state, all that remains visible of the underdigit is a small diagonal in the upper loop of "8" and a tiny remnant of the vertical part of the flag adhering to the left.

Lot #231 - 18K Yellow Gold Pocket Watch
Hammer: $1,600
Jewelry-Watches
This 18K pocket watch has a beautiful movement marked “E.KOEN, GENEVE, No 77628”. Unfortunately, the chiming mechanism doesn't seem to work. On the inside lid it is engraved “Fr. Stanley Goodwin, Christmas 1891, H.R. EKEGREN GENEVA” and the outside back lid has a fancy monogram of “C.H.S.” Winds, sets and runs. 72.9 dwt.
