Lot #826 - 1839 No Drapery Choice BU
Dimes-Liberty Seated
Cochrane Gambit Consignment. Cataloger's grade: [MS-62], or possibly a point higher depending on how one views the presence of some exceedingly faint hairlines. A clean strike brought up luxuriant details, particularly at Liberty's head and sandal, while the wreath features crisp delineation. A splash of toning across the obverse far right briefly spills across the reverse right rim.

Lot #793 - 1934-D NGC MS-67 FB
Hammer: $1,400
Dimes-Mercury
19 graded MS-67, 1 graded MS-67+, zero higher at NGC. Borderline sensational, the obverse offers blatant semi-prooflike cameo appeal while the reverse sees only a hint of the same flashing energy. Astute examination will reveal faded hints of a clashed die which required lapping, and that explains the plethora of die polish in the fields as well as the lightly mirrored effect. Astounding!

Lot #306 - Native American Unsigned Squash Blossom
Hammer: $475
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970, this sterling silver (tested, not marked) and turquoise squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 6-stone Naja at the bottom. The turquoise used in the making appears to be from the Cripple Creek mine. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Unsigned piece so tribal affiliation is unknown. Length 23”, 5.31 troy ounces.
