Lot #872 - 1801 100/000 PCGS F-15
Hammer: $825
Large Cents-Draped Bust
Sheldon-221, R.2, the very popular Redbook 100/000 corrected fraction reverse -- interesting in that five separate Sheldon die-marriages have the error 1/000 fraction that needed correcting to begin with. S-221 seems to be a winner in terms of availability, though many are found with planchet issues or other infractions. Several noticeable darker spots spatter the obverse of this PCGS example, but closer examination suggests that they haven't adversely etched into the surface, thus permitting a straight grade. Some irregular, ancient handling marks on the lower neck blend in well with the overall nut-brown patina.

Lot #417 - 1883 PCGS MS-64
Hammer: $10,000
Gold $3-Indian Princess Head
23 graded MS-64, 8 higher at PCGS. A very low mintage of 900 pieces explains why so many 1883s are prooflike, although the present example displays mostly typical luster with hints of flashy texture throughout the fields. Strangely, about half of examples seen tend to be mint-state, although few approach gem status. A sharp strike points to minimally used dies, such that even the lower curls of the hair are rather distinctly separated. Stray marks favor the right field just slightly even while overall, this coin managed to evade most of the bagmarks that often plague other issues within the series.
