Lot #863 - 1865 NGC MS-66+ CAC
Nickel Three-Cent Pieces-Nickel Three-Cent Pieces
12 graded MS-66+, 6 higher at NGC. Common in nearly all grades, the inaugural 3-cent nickel unexpectedly enters rare territory at MS-66+ and above, with only a handful certified as fully superb gems at NGC. Elite, blazing pure nickel-white luster erupts from the surface, illuminating extensive mint frost that creates bountiful luster. Essentially immaculate and certainly free from any mentionable abrasions.

Lot #175 - 1882 $50 Brown Back - Chicago, IL Charter #5106 - PMG VF-30
Hammer: $4,000
US Currency-National Bank Notes
The Corn Exchange National Bank of Chicago, Illinois. Evenly circulated and complete, and boasting large, fully legible penned signatures. This $50 brownback makes an outstanding choice for representation of a very difficult type and denomination combination, and it may be a little surprising it did not earn an EPQ designation. Considerable eye-appeal, especially for a Friedberg number far more often found in low grade.
