Lot #421 - 1899 FS-301 (not on label), Repunched Date, NGC MS-65
Hammer: $1,450
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
FS-301. Perhaps because of the inherent cost of collecting gold coins, varieties are sorely underappreciated, but 1899/899 is one of the best available to collectors and this appears to be an earlier die-state example. The extra loop left of the "8" is plainly visible with a loupe -- some examples of the same repunched date really only show the extra outlines left of the 9s.

Lot #241 - Joseph L. Bates encased postage 1C stamp
Hammer: $550
Collector Lots-Exonumia
K.R. Consignment. HB-50, EP-6, R.6. JOSEPH L BATES / FANCY GOODS / 129 WASHINGTON St / BOSTON. Cataloger's grade: [very-fine] at the bare minimum. Possibly choice due to lovely, even powdery brass patina, the eye-appeal is improved a little by the stamp being better centered than some; U.S. POSTAGE is mostly legible beneath the upper rim of the encasing. All Joseph Bates encased stamps are rare, the 1-cent pieces being the only reasonably collectable denomination. Quality of the original mica is quite outstanding for the type, showing a faint hairline scratch but minimum visual impediments otherwise.
