Lot #398 - 1842-C Large Date PCGS XF-45
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Large Date. 31 graded XF-45, 44 higher at PCGS. Identified by noticing that "2" in the date rests closer to the rim than to the bust and considered somewhat less rare than the small-date logotype. Very subtle greyish-canary deposits rest within the central area of all fields, and contrasts well with the underlying glint of Charlotte gold. While every single star except the first unexpectedly retains full dentilation, inevitable contact marks across the center of the portrait and spreading out left of the mintmark speak to the level of wear, as does the obvious loss of intricacy to circulation.

Lot #862 - 1901 PCGS PR-66BN
Hammer: $775
Small Cents-Indian Head
Bucky The Badger Consignment. 11 graded PR-66 BN, 3 higher at PCGS. An unexpectedly low population adds ample appeal to this already remarkable very-gem proof type cent. The obverse offers a startlingly lustrous appearance, replete with magenta, chartreuse-sienna and ruby-cobalt colors while the reverse features outrageous sea-green surrounding turquoise-carbuncle hues that must be seen to be believed.
