Lot #704 - 1893-CC PCGS MS-64
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-2 has dropping letters in the mintmark. While population reports record thousands of 1893-CC silver dollars certified in UNC grade, we know these numbers must be inflated because the date has always been very elusive above MS-60. Here is a splendid, very choice example of this always-sought key issue, offering eggshell-white patina and an astonishing array of lustrous beams emanating from the surface. The date is well known for troublesome strikes and even this above-average example lacks a bit of sharpness over the ear. On the reverse, impressively sharp, full breast and wing feathers greet the eye. Liberty's cheek appears almost perfectly clean without a loupe though closer examination reveals a microscopic nick or two as well as a handful of exquisitely fine hairlines.

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
