Lot #795 - 1818/5 NGC MS-63
Quarter Dollars-Capped Bust
Bachelor Simon Collection. Browning-1. The Browning plate coin in this exact same die-state might be available for a quarter-million dollars, but for most other collectors, a choice off-white example like this with formidable luster should do just fine. The underdigit shows nicely under a loupe, as does the satiny greyish surface showing no problems. There truly are no post-production defects to mention but interestingly, faint adjustment marks show across the lower portrait. A boldly appealing example of the highly sought overdate.

Lot #779 - 1884 NGC PR-65 CAMEO
Hammer: $1,150
Dimes-Liberty Seated
13 graded PR-65 CAM, 1 graded PR-65 CAM "star", 47 higher at NGC. Bone white and struck with the extreme precision one expects. A low mintage of 875 pieces seems to have survived in poor quantities are gem-and-better examples are difficult to locate. Outstanding mirrors here might have been impetus for an ULTRA designation but the contrast is not as vivid as seen for true early strikes.
