Lot #348 - 1904 PCGS PR-67CAM
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
3 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 higher at PCGS. Between them, PCGS and NGC have managed fewer than fifteen aggregate UCAM/DCAM events in any grade, speaking to the difficulty of locating a specimen with superior contrast. This is partly due to a lack of special effort on the part of the mint to create high-contrast proof dies after the turn of the century. Nevertheless, this coin boasts exceptionally reflective fields on the obverse -- not quite UCAM but close -- and very good mirrors on the reverse. Contrast is thereby enhanced, but truthfully, the frosted-matte texture on the devices is also not strong enough to yield the kind of contrast that a UCAM designation demands.

Technically, the coin appears virtually flawless under 8x magnification, with fields that are as bright and pristine as possible and showing an absolute absence of hairlines. A single, tiny, sintered dot floats in space beneath the hair bun, just right of the smallest imaginable comma-shaped abrasion, and together, these could provide a pedigree marker for future collectors. A lintmark also occupies one point of the eleventh star.

Lot #772 - 1823/2 NGC XF-40, and an 1835 PCGS AU-58
Hammer: $975
Dimes-Capped Bust
A pair of bust dimes offer pleasant strikes and generally acceptable appearance. First is1823/2, likely dipped in the distant past and now showing some orange-gold hue against the rims as well as a surprising burst of luster given the XF-40 grade. Lavender-grey entirely layers over the accompanying 1835, both sides benefiting from an above-average strike but also lacking luster overall. Two coin lot.
