Lot #348 - 1904 PCGS PR-67CAM
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
3 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 higher at PCGS. Between them, PCGS and NGC have managed fewer than fifteen aggregate UCAM/DCAM events in any grade, speaking to the difficulty of locating a specimen with superior contrast. This is partly due to a lack of special effort on the part of the mint to create high-contrast proof dies after the turn of the century. Nevertheless, this coin boasts exceptionally reflective fields on the obverse -- not quite UCAM but close -- and very good mirrors on the reverse. Contrast is thereby enhanced, but truthfully, the frosted-matte texture on the devices is also not strong enough to yield the kind of contrast that a UCAM designation demands.

Technically, the coin appears virtually flawless under 8x magnification, with fields that are as bright and pristine as possible and showing an absolute absence of hairlines. A single, tiny, sintered dot floats in space beneath the hair bun, just right of the smallest imaginable comma-shaped abrasion, and together, these could provide a pedigree marker for future collectors. A lintmark also occupies one point of the eleventh star.

Lot #275 - 1920 Wilson Silver Manila Mint HK-449 PCGS MS-63
Hammer: $1,950
Collector Lots-So-Called Dollars
HK-449, silver, Manila mint, and sometimes referenced by PCGS as "medal". It is collected as a member of both the U.S. Philippines and the "so-called dollar" series. Struck also in gold and copper, the present silver example is that most often seen. While landing within the choice grade range, one can see this as a superior specimen since the fields appear unusually free from distraction and excellent luster reaches across both sides.
