Lot #348 - 1904 PCGS PR-67CAM
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
3 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 higher at PCGS. Between them, PCGS and NGC have managed fewer than fifteen aggregate UCAM/DCAM events in any grade, speaking to the difficulty of locating a specimen with superior contrast. This is partly due to a lack of special effort on the part of the mint to create high-contrast proof dies after the turn of the century. Nevertheless, this coin boasts exceptionally reflective fields on the obverse -- not quite UCAM but close -- and very good mirrors on the reverse. Contrast is thereby enhanced, but truthfully, the frosted-matte texture on the devices is also not strong enough to yield the kind of contrast that a UCAM designation demands.

Technically, the coin appears virtually flawless under 8x magnification, with fields that are as bright and pristine as possible and showing an absolute absence of hairlines. A single, tiny, sintered dot floats in space beneath the hair bun, just right of the smallest imaginable comma-shaped abrasion, and together, these could provide a pedigree marker for future collectors. A lintmark also occupies one point of the eleventh star.

Lot #840 - 1793 Wreath Lettered Edge PCGS F-12 (green label)
Hammer: $5,750
Large Cents-Flowing Hair
Robert Michaels Collection. Sheldon-11(b or c) (R.3), "vine-and-bars" being "a" of course. The cataloger could not discern "a" versus "b" due to being unable to examine the edge. An attractive leather-brown example with mahogany accents on the raised devices, the extreme edges on either side also display additional coppery exposure. Minor to modest surface granularity is textured to such a fine matte level that it scarcely distracts from the bold presentation. An outstanding example for major type or date entry purposes.
