Lot #366 - 1911-D Strong D NGC MS-62
Gold $2.50-Indian Head Quarter Eagle
Far and away the scarcest Indian quarter-eagle, the 1911-D gets additional respect when a grading service provides the "strong D" moniker. The mintmark seen here cannot be mistaken at all, being readily visible without the aid of a loupe. Terrific for MS-62, this well struck coin practically glitters with faintly yellowed golden hue. A topnotch example at just about the most approachable quality grade for the date.

Lot #870 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln PCGS MS-63RB
Hammer: $2,000
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Leaning toward the brown side of the color designation, the surface does merge with stronger reddish orange toward the better protected peripheral areas. A cleanly struck and decently sharp key Lincoln cent, the surface shows very few disturbances for the grade, allowing for ready appreciation of subtle woodgrain toning.

Lot #308 - Native American Unsigned Squash Blossom
Hammer: $320
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970, this overly large sterling silver (tested, not marked) and chrysocolla squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 7-stone Naja at the bottom. With an overly bold design, the stone used in the making emulates a darker grade of turquoise than usually found in this type of necklace. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Unsigned piece so tribal affiliation is unknown. Length 26”, 8.40 troy ounces.
