Lot #44 - France - 1825-BB 5 Francs Gad-643 - PCGS MS-64
World Coins-France
Ba-Ga Maidi Collection. KM#720.3, Strasbourg mint, Charles X. PCGS sees this as the finest known example and for sure, the quality is almost that of a modern production. Luxurious turquoise-blue and cinnamon-purple lines the obverse left margin and presents a splashy appearance through most of the reverse inner periphery. Numerous adjustment marks may have played into grade consideration, but this amazingly lustrous coin will command maximum interest.

Lot #844 - 1843 Petite Head - Small Letters NGC MS-61 BN
Hammer: $675
Large Cents-Braided Hair
Newcomb-9, a somewhat common die-marriage that can show up in various interesting die-states. The NGC insert covers up a portion of the rim where a small cud eventually develops but it isn't readily apparent in this instance. The glossy ebony-brown surface is actually not as unattractive as is often implied by the MS-61 numeric grade level, and neither side displays much by way of contact.
