Lot #138 - 1902 $10 Blue Seal - Unionville, MO Charter #13268 - PMG VF-25/corner missing/previously mounted
US Currency-National Bank Notes
Ex: Eric P. Newman collection. Last seen in a PCGS holder with a grade of "VF20 apparent", additional notations on the PMG insert agree as well: "corner missing, previously mounted". That does not alter the rarity of this 1902 plain-back for which only four examples are reported. Unionville, a far suburb of St. Louis, was the last Missouri bank to issue large National notes, partially explaining the rarity and appeal of this very low serial number (34) ten. During the upgrade from PCGS to PMG, the important Newman pedigree was lost, and the cataloger hopes the next owner will be astute enough to have PMG restore it.

Lot #428 - 1857 PCGS MS-64+ TOP POP
Hammer: $20,500
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
2 graded MS-64+, zero higher at PCGS, thus placing claims as the "finest known" 1857 five-dollar gold piece. NGC has never graded one above MS-63+, affirming the extreme rarity of choice and better examples. That so few survive seems surprising given a not-so-high but reasonable mintage of 98-thousand coins.

Tilting the coin back and forth beneath good lighting reveals exactly the kind of gleaming, satin-textured flowline effect one expects as the mint had ample experience striking superior half-eagles by 1857. One copper spot clings to the first start and a tiny carbon dot randomly flings into the obverse right field. A loupe also detects a one tiny hairline at the upper chin, with this trio of characteristics perhaps conspiring to limit full gem potential. The reverse seems particularly free from any mentionable defects while the entire presentation takes full advantage of an exceptional strike.
