Lot #704 - 1893-CC PCGS MS-64
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-2 has dropping letters in the mintmark. While population reports record thousands of 1893-CC silver dollars certified in UNC grade, we know these numbers must be inflated because the date has always been very elusive above MS-60. Here is a splendid, very choice example of this always-sought key issue, offering eggshell-white patina and an astonishing array of lustrous beams emanating from the surface. The date is well known for troublesome strikes and even this above-average example lacks a bit of sharpness over the ear. On the reverse, impressively sharp, full breast and wing feathers greet the eye. Liberty's cheek appears almost perfectly clean without a loupe though closer examination reveals a microscopic nick or two as well as a handful of exquisitely fine hairlines.

Lot #115 - Error Currency - 1974 $20/$10 Dallas FRN Fr# 2071-K Dual Denomination - PMG XF-40
Hammer: $18,000
US Currency-Error Currency
Morals And Liberty Collection. Double denomination $20/$10 notes, affectionately referred to as "thirty dollar bills" by some and dated 1974, began to show up in nearby Houston, TX in 1978 and the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank quickly took great pains to retrieve such mistaken notes for destruction. By that time, however, some had already entered commerce and were subsequently snagged by astute collectors, occasionally in time to retain CU freshness. Our note has serial number K46338252B and was pulled out of circulation in time to have collected only minimal wear to the tune of an XF40 grade. (By comparison, SN ...254B off the same sheet was saved immediately and garnered a CU464 EPQ grade some eight years ago, also at PMG.)

"Through the holder", this appears to be a fully original example with nice, bright paper quality and well centered design elements. Twenty points of wear has barely softened the sharpness of the design and created very slight corner wear. Broad margins all the way around and a trophy error place this note well within the realm of a possible record price, considering it has not been on the market in decades.
