  • 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 #428 - 1857 PCGS MS-64+ TOP POP
  • Hammer: $20,500
  • Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
  • 2 graded MS-64+, zero higher at PCGS, thus placing claims as the "finest known" 1857 five-dollar gold piece. NGC has never graded one above MS-63+, affirming the extreme rarity of choice and better examples. That so few survive seems surprising given a not-so-high but reasonable mintage of 98-thousand coins.

    Tilting the coin back and forth beneath good lighting reveals exactly the kind of gleaming, satin-textured flowline effect one expects as the mint had ample experience striking superior half-eagles by 1857. One copper spot clings to the first start and a tiny carbon dot randomly flings into the obverse right field. A loupe also detects a one tiny hairline at the upper chin, with this trio of characteristics perhaps conspiring to limit full gem potential. The reverse seems particularly free from any mentionable defects while the entire presentation takes full advantage of an exceptional strike.
