Lot #327 - 1849-C NGC AU-58
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
22 graded AU-58, 10 higher at NGC. More attractive than a Charlotte quarter-eagle has a right to be, the surface pulls off some intriguing two-toned corn-gold and steely olive-green contrast that helps ignite very good visual appeal. Recognized as a grade-rarity with hardly any UNC examples known, this borderline-UNC coin further surprises potential bidders with a much better strike than expected, featuring virtually fully realized wing feathers and excellent dentilation all around both sides.

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.
