Lot #324 - 1842 PCGS XF-40
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
Mintage: 2823. 10 graded XF-40, 26 higher at PCGS. Charlotte and Dahlonega have earned their reputations for rare emissions, but Philadelphia struck even fewer quarter-eagles in 1842, yet its specimens are actually valued lower than those of either southern mint. Here is an utterly delightful example sporting faintly mustard patina with greyish accents. Softness seen throughout derives from honest wear only, the only contact being a small nick in the reverse right field. Estimates suggest less than 60 examples of 1842 surviving through today.

Lot #302 - 1854 $20 Kellogg and Company Long Arrows AU details/cleaned/scratch in a Capital Plastics holder
Hammer: $7,250
Territorial Gold-Territorial Gold
Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-2 (R.4) "long arrows" reverse. Cataloger's grade: [AU/cleaned/light scratch]. Evidence of cleaning will deter some collectors, but filling the void of demand will be enthusiasts for which the famous this private coinage is a long-time favorite, especially when found so well detailed and still in possession of noticeable mint luster. K-1 with the "short arrows" reverse has also been acclaimed the same R.4 rarity rating, but the cataloger feels that the present variety is actually a little scarcer. A hairline scratch extends of the end of Liberty's nose to modest detriment.
