Lot #462 - 1897-O PCGS MS-61
Gold $10-Liberty Head Eagle
Mintage: 42,500. Heavier abrasions thump the reverse while overall, both sides show a number of the bagmarks expected of the date. 1897-O is not actually rare despite the lower mintage, but certified mint-state examples prove difficult to find at PCGS. A glittering example with occasional greyish crumbles that suggest a non-cleaned surface.

Lot #431 - 1882-CC NGC AU-58
Hammer: $6,750
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Although not truly rare, the 1882-CC sports that all-consuming mintmark that many collectors cannot resist, and the attractive sub-hundred thousand mintage helps ensure forever popularity of the date. This lustrous and fully golden-yellow example displays the typical, slightly soft strike usually seen, yet the details give up almost nothing to brief circulation. In fact, the only real evidence of commercial usage appears to be a number of fleeting hairlines in the fields.
