Lot #829 - 1873 Arrows AU-55, 1873 Arrows PR-63 (green label), and an 1873 PR-64 (green label), all PCGS
Dimes-Liberty Seated
Cheddars de Voirs Collection. Focus on 1873 brings forth a trio of Seated Liberty dimes, all certified by PCGS. Included are: 1873 "no arrows" (surprisingly bold cameo and a phenomenally bold strike even for a proof example), 1873 "arrows" (silvery bright and showing only a minimum amount of contrast, perhaps accounted for by an incomplete proof strike), and 1873 "arrows" (circulation strike showing more than a trace of aluminum-bright luster and somewhat blunt detail at Liberty's head). Three coin lot.

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.
