Lot #756 - 1831 PCGS MS-65
Half Dollars-Capped Bust, Lettered Edge
Iam B. Kami Collection. 62 graded MS-65, 10 higher at PCGS. Overton-111, one of the most common die-marriages, and although Overton did not specifically call out die-states, the wavy crack underscoring the date makes it a cinch to attribute against all the other common varieties for the year. Delightful luster brightens up the appearance of this rose-gold, grey and Pacific-blue example, and the surface has managed to avoid nearly all signs of contact. A single nick on the throat and three tiny digs on the bust are all that need be accounted for in a complete description.

Lot #246 - 1998-D Washington quarter struck on a nickel planchet
Hammer: $425
Collector Lots-Error Coins
Clem Stevens Collection. While not perfectly centered the vast majority of design elements are nicely constrained to the somewhat smaller nickel planchet. Besides the obvious appeal of the error, this happens to be a superbly preserved example with razor-sharp central details that inevitably distend outward due to the lack of collar constraint.
