Lot #745 - Seven Capped Bust half dollars net graded by ANACS
Half Dollars-Capped Bust, Lettered Edge
Cheddars de Voirs. Varying degrees of cleaning from light to almost nonexistent plagues this seven coin group lot of ANACS certified Capped Bust half-dollars. Each of these issues are housed in the older style “soap box” holder and can be described as follows: an 1832 O-101 UNC Details Cleaned, an 1832 O-118 AU Details Cleaned, an 1833 O-102 AU Details Cleaned, an 1833 O-102 UNC Details Cleaned, an 1834 O-107 AU Details Cleaned, an 1835 O-101 AU Details Cleaned, and an 1836 O-119 AU Details Cleaned. All seven of these have begun to re-tone after the cleaning had taken place, giving them a better than average look for their assigned grades (ck).

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.
