Lot #605 - 1882 Trade NGC PR-66 ULTRA CAMEO
Silver Dollar-Trade Dollars
11 graded PR-66 UCAM, 1 graded PR-66 UCAM "star", 7 higher at NGC. Type II / II. Reasonably available for high-end proof type purposes, the original emission near eleven-hundred pieces yielded enough ultra-cameo examples to satisfy a limited amount of demand today. Astoundingly bright, immaculate white mirrors are incredibly free from hairlines and blemishes, save an as-struck little strikethrough in front of the shin. Perhaps a dozen tiny greyish dots sprinkle outward into the same area. Phenomenally sharp throughout except for a couple of upper obverse stars that just miss perfection.

Lot #580 - 1799 PCGS AU-53
Hammer: $4,825
Silver Dollar-Draped Bust
Robert Michaels Collection. Bolender-9, BB-166, "apostrophe reverse", the most common die-marriage for 1799. This example seemingly surpasses diagnostics for die-state V, which references basically a shattered obverse die and stars drawn to the edge. While very common, the B-9 is collectable by die-state, and such a collector might be interested to know that this is the latest die-state ever personally examined by the cataloger, most assuredly terminal and a fascinating case study as such. Add in very decent aesthetic qualities, including midnight-violet coloration throughout and a twinge of peripheral luster and one has a compelling case for the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award.
