Lot #559 - 1914-S NGC MS-63
Hammer: $2,800
Gold $20-Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
Aliyah Darnell Collection. Minor variety: a boldly raised die-line crosses over the rays left of Liberty's gown. The cataloger has noted this obverse die before and gut feel is that it comprises perhaps ten percent of 1914-S Saints? At any rate, a lustrous yet somehow slightly subdued example with a typically slightly soft strike.

Lot #458 - 1839 Large Letters, Head of 1838 NGC AU-55
Hammer: $7,500
Gold $10-Capped Bust to Right Eagle
Mintage: 25,801 for a variety appropriately known as the "old portrait" obverse. The design compared side by side with that of latter years is distinctly different and leaner by comparison. The right edge of "9" in the date shows recutting sometimes mistaken as 98, and the portrait has a swirl of hair laying across the ear, rather than above it.

An untroubled example with minimal luster, the surface exhibits mostly mustard-yellow accents over pale golden color typical of the era. While rather well struck overall, five points of wear, likely joined by limits of then-current technology kept away perfect delineation of the wavy hair at the top of the portrait. The eagle's feathers are individually sculpted, however. The coin overall shows only expectant small abrasions -- not a single major mark requires separate mention.
