Lot #703 - 1893-CC PCGS MS-62 (green label) CAC
Silver Dollar-Morgan
Erasmus Rally Collection. Mottled silver-grey and russet iridescence washes broadly over the obverse while the reverse shows subtle golden hue on the letters over shimmering silver-white overall. While PCGS gave no designation, this key clearly shows semi-prooflike character, yet a closer look finds quite soft central definition on both sides, the strike unable to eliminate lengthy planchet striae raining down the portrait.

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.
