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 #856 - 1869 PCGS MS-65RB
Hammer: $1,700
Small Cents-Indian Head
Bucky The Badger Consignment. The reverse shows a noticeable trace of clashing while the obverse die must have been lapped such as to remove any such anomaly, the result being a coin with significant vibrancy that places it squarely into the realm of "gem". A broad splash of violet-cobalt on the obverse dissolves into disparate splashes of similar hue on the reverse. One semi-colon abrasion in front of the portrait joins fewer than a handful of other vague bagmarks.
