Lot #863 - 1865 NGC MS-66+ CAC
Nickel Three-Cent Pieces-Nickel Three-Cent Pieces
12 graded MS-66+, 6 higher at NGC. Common in nearly all grades, the inaugural 3-cent nickel unexpectedly enters rare territory at MS-66+ and above, with only a handful certified as fully superb gems at NGC. Elite, blazing pure nickel-white luster erupts from the surface, illuminating extensive mint frost that creates bountiful luster. Essentially immaculate and certainly free from any mentionable abrasions.

Lot #789 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS VG-8
Hammer: $1,500
Dimes-Mercury
Collectors of the series are not wont to underestimate the difficulty of locating a nice, very-good 1916-D dime with no problems. This example, slightly glossy on the obverse but showing rich dove-grey patina on the reverse, boasts strong, fully rims and portions of the vertical lines within the fasces. A very difficult example that clearly spent decades within an old Whitman (or similar) "thumb-buster" coin folder.
