Lot #85 - Mexico - 1910 peso and 1921-Mo two pesos, both NGC MS-62
World Coins-Mexico
A pair of crown-sized Mexico pieces are highly appealing for type purposes. First is: 1910 peso, KM#453, and first year of issue represented by tremendous silvery luster but also faint abrading here and there. Accompanying is 1921 2-peso, KM#462, trivially clouded beneath very good luster and a pleasing strike. Two coin lot.

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.
