Lot #24 - China - Cd1901 Dot Eyed Dragon L&M-244 $1 - NGC AU details/cleaned
World Coins-China
L&M-244, dotted eyes on dragon, Kiangnan. The NGC disclaimer may do little to dissuade strong bids for this highly desirable type. Really only sparing, moderate hairlines disturb the fields, and considerable luster still remains present. Perhaps a trivial hint of handling shows on portions of the rims.

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.
