  • Lot #783 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS MS-64FB
  • Hammer: $25,250
  • Dimes-Mercury
  • 107 graded MS-64 FB, 76 higher at PCGS. Without question the most recognized key in the Mercury Dime series, and a "name key" over the entire U.S. compendium, the 1916-D dime requires no introduction to collectors. Like the 1909-S VDB cent, a surprising number of high-grade examples exist because they share the status of "first year of issue" coins, meaning the sheer number saved by contemporary Americans led to some fortuitous circumstances that laid aside a small percentage of mint-state survivors. Exceptionally original copper-grey patina completely endows this contact-free dime and as expected of a specimen that earned a "full bands" designation, both sides feature an incomparably sharp strike.

    There appears to be a bit of fascinating history for the certification of this specific 1916-D as well. It was once certified before 2010 in Ex-PCGS blue-label holder 4907.64/06629787, and at some point along the way, that slab garnered a CAC sticker. But the CAC website currently states "This cert# is no longer active and is not included in the current CAC Pop report.". The new PCGS slab (relatively speaking -- it is still blue-label generation) bears SN 25582302, but it has no sticker. Not only does this coin possess outstanding technical merit, but the aqua and sea-green accents on the rim are next to some pleasing ruby-grey peripheral toning that only enhances the charming eye-appeal.

  • Lot #289 - Sterling Silver Necklaces
  • Hammer: $330
  • Jewelry-Silver
  • The first necklace is circa 1960/1970 and signed H W on the reverse (possibly H. Wood of the Navajo nation). This 24” sterling silver (tested) bead necklace features a shadowbox pendant holding a turquoise cab with an engraved design. The turquoise looks like it might have come from the Fox Mine of Nevada. Some of the beads have some denting. The second necklace is also circa 1960/1970 and is an unsigned 18” sterling silver (tested) squash blossom necklace for a child, possibly of Navajo origin. This necklace features turquoise cabs that look like they might also be from the Fox Mine of Nevada with a seven stone Naja pendant and eight blossoms. 3.60 troy ounces.
