Lot #399 - 1842-D Small Date NGC AU details/cleaned
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
More available than the "large date" logotype but still hardly common given the mintage of under 60-thousand pieces. The pale, lackluster surface displays a thin coating of haze that helps subdue any potential remaining luster. Strike quality seems to be about as nice as is ever seen for 1842-D.

Lot #870 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln PCGS MS-63RB
Hammer: $2,000
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Leaning toward the brown side of the color designation, the surface does merge with stronger reddish orange toward the better protected peripheral areas. A cleanly struck and decently sharp key Lincoln cent, the surface shows very few disturbances for the grade, allowing for ready appreciation of subtle woodgrain toning.
