Gold $3-Indian Princess Head
Zee's Densities Collection. Impairments place a damper on this 3-dollar duo, but how often does one find an auction lot with two certified examples? Included are: 1854 (delicate hairlines subtly traverse the lower portrait, erasing a few contact marks), and 1874 (glittering brightly as is typical of previously edge-mounted examples). Two coin lot.

Lot #659 - 1890-CC PCGS MS-63
Hammer: $1,150
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-14. While a thinly doubled profile is one characteristic of this VAM, a more telltale pickup point should be the way a reverse die crack traverses "ED ST" through the wing tip. A choice white example with a very good strike, the present 1890-CC features substantially less abrading of the cheek than usual, but does show delicate planchet striations over and through Liberty's ear.
