Lot #844 - 1837 No Stars Large Date, and an 1871, both AU
Hammer: $750
Half Dimes-Liberty Seated
Cochrane Gambit Consignment. Type half-dimes pair up to create a rather outstanding opportunity for the shrewd bidder. First is 1837 no-stars, cataloger's grade: [AU/cleaned], but really only mildly so, and later placed into an album such that now, the appearance borders upon very attractive and fully original. Accompanying is 1871, cataloger's grade: [AU-58] by strict standards, although generous album coloration and especially beautiful ocean-blue and sunset-orange on the reverse permit the appeal of a much higher grade. Two coin lot.

Lot #550 - 1909-S NGC MS-66
Hammer: $17,500
Gold $20-Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
13 graded MS-66, zero higher at NGC. Not so many years ago, 1909-S was considered rare in high grade until a hoard of better examples entered the market and helped increase the supply of gem examples. That said, this spectacular coin, showing exceptional copper-gold color, exceeds the gem grade by a full point at NGC, and places it smack dab into the discussion of finest-known pieces at that grading company (PCGS claims two higher graded examples).

Close inspection reveals superbly frosted surfaces and a lack of major marks; the cataloger suggests the one lone depression down the left edge of Liberty's gown may be the most noticeable. On the reverse, what appears at first to be a micro pinscratch could actually be an interesting strikethrough, which could then be of significant interest as a provenance marker for a coin this scarce. An exquisite, much better date within the series that would be almost impossible to beat in terms of quality.
