Lot #863 - 1865 NGC MS-66+ CAC
Nickel Three-Cent Pieces-Nickel Three-Cent Pieces
12 graded MS-66+, 6 higher at NGC. Common in nearly all grades, the inaugural 3-cent nickel unexpectedly enters rare territory at MS-66+ and above, with only a handful certified as fully superb gems at NGC. Elite, blazing pure nickel-white luster erupts from the surface, illuminating extensive mint frost that creates bountiful luster. Essentially immaculate and certainly free from any mentionable abrasions.

Lot #458 - 1839 Large Letters, Head of 1838 NGC AU-55
Hammer: $7,500
Gold $10-Capped Bust to Right Eagle
Mintage: 25,801 for a variety appropriately known as the "old portrait" obverse. The design compared side by side with that of latter years is distinctly different and leaner by comparison. The right edge of "9" in the date shows recutting sometimes mistaken as 98, and the portrait has a swirl of hair laying across the ear, rather than above it.

An untroubled example with minimal luster, the surface exhibits mostly mustard-yellow accents over pale golden color typical of the era. While rather well struck overall, five points of wear, likely joined by limits of then-current technology kept away perfect delineation of the wavy hair at the top of the portrait. The eagle's feathers are individually sculpted, however. The coin overall shows only expectant small abrasions -- not a single major mark requires separate mention.
