Lot #9 - Bolivia - Five certified coins
World Coins-Bolivia
A bounty of Bolivian beauties is noticed within this five-piece group lot of NGC and PCGS certified examples. There are three NGC examples that includes a (1574-76) 4 Reales Rincon-Philip II VF-30, a 1680P 8 Reales VF-35, and a 1770P 8 Reales VF-35. The two remaining pieces are PCGS certified and includes a 1635 8 Reales Calico-1460 and a 1773-P 4 Reales Calico-929. It is worth noting that the PCGS 4 Reales is certainly in need of a quick re-holdering due to an internal crack in the holder (ck).

Lot #691 - 1901 CACG MS-61
Hammer: $4,300
Silver Dollar-Morgan
The 1901 suffers a double whammy of extensive circulation and mediocre production such that even mint-state pieces rarely show up "nice". All in all, at MS-61, this is a decent example that manages some noticeable windmill effect. Plentiful bagmarks scatter about, but none is individually overly intrusive on the eye. To its credit, nicer toning has evolved, starting with a nice mixture sea-blue, magenta-orange and rose at the rims and passing into predominant coral-rose nearer the centers.
