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 #752 - 1820 Large 0 B-2 NGC MS-62
Hammer: $5,500
Quarter Dollars-Capped Bust
Browning-2, large 0. References do not preach die-states for the B-2, but the cataloger has seen some examples where the lowest two die cracks that connect the olive leaf tip to dentils below are filled in; that is not the case here. Nicely appealing platinum-grey patina sweeps over most of the surface but misses highpoint details where tin color adheres. Decent luster persists through the fields but is likely not energetic enough to permit upgrade consideration.
