Lot #840 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS AU-53
Dimes-Mercury
Even to a specialized collector who does not dabble at all in Mercury dimes, the 1916-D requires no introduction, since it has never had challengers for key-date status (ignoring esoteric "grade rarity" discussions) and is famous on multiple levels. The surface of this AU-53 example genuinely has the lustrous quality of an AU-55 coin, and without question, pewter-tan patina draping over the surface appears to be fully original. Therefore, one must probe other aspects of the grading process to figure out why a choice grade wasn't in play. Closer inspection reveals delicate, fluttering hairlines in the obverse right field, and additional superficial hairlining on the portrait, as well as similar activity within the reverse fields. Fortunately, long placement within a correct numismatic environment has permitted the surface to an antiqued appearance that so many enthusiasts covet, and absolutely nowhere can one locate even the tiniest abrasion.

Lot #898 - 1937 Arkansas NGC MS-67
Hammer: $1,550
Silver Commemoratives-Silver Commemoratives Half-Dollars
23 graded MS-67, 6 graded MS-67+, zero higher at NGC. An extremely attractive example of a design not often called "beautiful", NGC pulled out all the stops in correctly calling out superb gem quality for this delightful half-dollar. Pastel bluish grey surfaces gleam with almost pearlescent effect, partially surrounded with dramatic iridescent amber-plum and royal gold hues. Close examination finds a couple of trivial micro-abrasions on the art deco designs, easily in keeping with the assigned grade.
