Lot #605 - 1882 Trade NGC PR-66 ULTRA CAMEO
Silver Dollar-Trade Dollars
11 graded PR-66 UCAM, 1 graded PR-66 UCAM "star", 7 higher at NGC. Type II / II. Reasonably available for high-end proof type purposes, the original emission near eleven-hundred pieces yielded enough ultra-cameo examples to satisfy a limited amount of demand today. Astoundingly bright, immaculate white mirrors are incredibly free from hairlines and blemishes, save an as-struck little strikethrough in front of the shin. Perhaps a dozen tiny greyish dots sprinkle outward into the same area. Phenomenally sharp throughout except for a couple of upper obverse stars that just miss perfection.

Lot #365 - 1859 Old Reverse - Type 1 NGC MS-60
Hammer: $1,600
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
The reverse die seen on this type-1 example, with larger arrowheads, was discarded in 1859 for subsequent strikings of type-2 quarter-eagles. Here is a rather delightful example given the basal and severely underutilized mint-state grade of MS-60, showing unexpectedly nice multihued golden color and no evidence of circulation. Simple bag storage apparently accounts for the trivial flaws and delicate abrasions seen throughout.
