Half Dollars-Capped Bust, Lettered Edge
Cochrane Gambit Consignment. Overton-119 (R.4), a somewhat better die-marriage for 1834, almost all examples seen, including this handsomely toned coin, will show softness within the broad juncture of the eagle's left (observed) wing and body. That said, it appears this dynamic coin received slightly above average details throughout. Circumspect examination finds a fair number of subtle hairlines in the obverse left and upper fields, suggesting an old wipe that leads to the cataloger's grade: [AU/cleaned]. That said, remaining details likely fall within AU-55 to MS-60 sharpness and the surface suffers unusually few abrasions.

Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
New Orleans struck Indian gold half-eagles only in 1909 and the low emission of 34-thousand pieces created an instant rarity as this and the 1929 are the two true keys to a complete collection. Ample detailing actually appears quite bold given a couple of points of wear from circulation and the sharpness overall hands-down exceeds expectations. The yellowish surface received scarcely anything more than a few whisper-light hairlines from circulation, and extremely light, shiny friction on design highpoints. There can be now doubt that this coin was "UNC" in past marketing events (prior to the days of certification) and almost seems suitable for a second opinion, although a coin of this scarcity will get heavily scrutinized by any competent grader.
