Lot #177 - 1918 $50 St. Louis Fr# 831 - PMG F-15 minor repairs
US Currency-Federal Reserve Bank Notes, Large
Flat Creek, Missouri Collection. PMG has seen a grand total of only fifteen of Fr.831 -- not such a big surprise since St. Louis was the only district to release these FRBNs to circulation to the extent of only 4-thousand pieces. That said, the majority remain non-certified since over fifty examples are believed to currently exist. Interestingly, this note has a relatively high serial number by comparison to the very low emission. Regardless, the fact that about a quarter of all known notes are in museums means those very few that have ever been sold on the open market tend to remain impounded as a single-Friedberg type. Very decent margins surround this originally toned and choice example the "minor repairs" being closure of a couple of small edge splits.

Lot #419 - 1818 BD-1 NGC MS-63
Hammer: $49,750
Gold $5-Capped Bust to Left Half Eagle
Bass-Dannreuther-1 (R.5), early dies with no cracks. Perhaps as a result of the use of fresh dies, both sides received delightful sharpness as-struck, and the kind of beckoning luster that is requisite for a choice grade. A mere whisper on each of the eagle's talons could be the only possible indications of a strike that barely missed 100% accuracy. The obverse shows trivial adjustment marks that somehow evade the field and land only on the extreme right edge -- a bona fide perk for the collector who demands a minimum of possible distractions. One tiny copper spot past the fifth star hardly requires mention, but what must be noticed is the decidedly luxuriant eye-appeal that almost seems impossible of 200+ year-old gold coinage.
