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 #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.
