Lot #502 - 1857-S Spiked Shield S.S. Central America with gold dust PCGS MS-65+
Gold $20-Liberty Head Double Eagle
Ex-S.S. Central America, "spiked shield" reverse. 9 graded MS-65+, 17 higher at PCGS. The enormous PCGS slab also contains a pinch of "California gold dust" although the encapsulated particles are irritatingly difficult to appreciate through the curiously frosted viewing panel. What is easy to appreciate is the exceptional quality of the 1857-S double-eagle, which appears fully MS-66 to the cataloger's eye. Outrageous, very-bright pale luster predominates over the impressively detailed motifs that suffer merely trivial little bagmarks. Upgrade may be denied by PCGS due to faint, shiny sliding abrasions left and below the chin but otherwise, the surface hardly looks like something which spent more than a century within the salty waters of the Atlantic.

Lot #117 - Error Currency - 1976 $2 Chicago Star FRN Offset Printing Error Fr# 1935-G* - PMG ChCU-63 EPQ Star
Hammer: $825
US Currency-Error Currency
Roman Powers Collection. Given that a star note is intended to replace another note rejected due to quality, it is highly remarkable that this star example itself shows a major error -- offset printing of the reverse design across the entire front of the note. While not very well centered, examination "in the holder" suggests strong paper quality and vibrant ink.
