Lot #918 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln PCGS MS-64RD
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Bucky The Badger Consignment. Coppery champagne-orange offers slightly matte texture, especially on the reverse where the aspect could easily be mistaken for a matte-proof striking. The reverse falls half a shade closer to the orange hue for which 1909 cents of all kinds are known, this key also flaunting bold, sharp details from a nearly full strike. Perhaps a couple of microscopic carbon flecks on the reverse could be mentioned, but otherwise, the surface remains cheerfully free from distractions.

Lot #281 - Engelhard 4ozs .999 silver bar, poured
Hammer: $2,400
Collector Lots-Bars
Anyone who has ever delved into the “vintage” silver bullion market knows that Engelhard is the king of kings within that realm. Odd sized pieces have taken on a marketplace of its own over the past decade or so and this piece is one of the scarcest offerings! This is a second series unique 4oz. ingot with a top hallmark in an elongated octagon. There are fewer than 100 of these pieces believed to be in existence and this is a particularly nice example for the type. Serial #3150 (ck).

Lot #308 - Native American Unsigned Squash Blossom
Hammer: $320
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970, this overly large sterling silver (tested, not marked) and chrysocolla squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 7-stone Naja at the bottom. With an overly bold design, the stone used in the making emulates a darker grade of turquoise than usually found in this type of necklace. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Unsigned piece so tribal affiliation is unknown. Length 26”, 8.40 troy ounces.
