Lot #884 - 1823 Copper Restrike NGC MS-64 BN
Large Cents-Liberty Head
Newcomb-3, restrike in copper. Awash in lovely, swirling neon blue undertones, both sides display obvious luster and boldness of detail despite the well-known reuse of these dies. When this coin was struck, the dies were in an earlier to middle state as the obverse shows trisecting cracks, while the reverse has only a single, lengthy arcing crack crossing above the denomination.

Lot #309 - Native American Squash Blossom
Hammer: $550
Jewelry-Silver
Circa 1960/1970 and signed by Bobby Thompson of the Navajo nation, this sterling silver (tested, not marked) and turquoise squash blossom necklace features 10 blossoms set between seamed beads and a 5-stone Naja at the bottom. The turquoise cabs are set in a shadow box setting and while most of the background has been blackened nicely, a couple panels need a touch up of color. The turquoise used in the making appears to be from the Sleeping Beauty mine. Condition is very nice for its age with a vintage patina to the metal. Length 30”, 5.54 troy ounces
