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 #785 - 1907 PCGS PR-67 CAC, Ex-Pittman
Hammer: $2,150
Dimes-Barber
Ex-Pittman (not listed on slab insert). 15 graded PR-67, 4 higher at PCGS Sadly, this coin has somehow lost its famous pedigree along its journey into the PCGS slab, as somebody foolishly (perhaps) removed it from the original NGC holder (SN: 638831-001) where it had the same grade (and also a green CAC sticker). Oh the lengths some will travel to eke a few extra dollars out of a plastic holder... but we digress. The Pittman dime is nothing short of incredible as it displays lovely, tasteful obverse peripheral toning and enormously satisfying indigo-violet hue across the entire reverse. As befits the grade, the surface shows simply zero distractions, except perhaps a singular carbon speckle at the front of Liberty's neck, which is helpful in identifying it for future generations. A Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award for obvious reasons, and we can only hope that the future owner will take the steps necessary to restore the esteemed pedigree to whatever slab the coin ends up in.
