Lot #398 - 1842-C Large Date PCGS XF-45
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Large Date. 31 graded XF-45, 44 higher at PCGS. Identified by noticing that "2" in the date rests closer to the rim than to the bust and considered somewhat less rare than the small-date logotype. Very subtle greyish-canary deposits rest within the central area of all fields, and contrasts well with the underlying glint of Charlotte gold. While every single star except the first unexpectedly retains full dentilation, inevitable contact marks across the center of the portrait and spreading out left of the mintmark speak to the level of wear, as does the obvious loss of intricacy to circulation.

Lot #458 - 1839 Large Letters, Head of 1838 NGC AU-55
Hammer: $7,500
Gold $10-Capped Bust to Right Eagle
Mintage: 25,801 for a variety appropriately known as the "old portrait" obverse. The design compared side by side with that of latter years is distinctly different and leaner by comparison. The right edge of "9" in the date shows recutting sometimes mistaken as 98, and the portrait has a swirl of hair laying across the ear, rather than above it.

An untroubled example with minimal luster, the surface exhibits mostly mustard-yellow accents over pale golden color typical of the era. While rather well struck overall, five points of wear, likely joined by limits of then-current technology kept away perfect delineation of the wavy hair at the top of the portrait. The eagle's feathers are individually sculpted, however. The coin overall shows only expectant small abrasions -- not a single major mark requires separate mention.
