Lot #400 - 1842-D Large Date ANACS AU-53 details/cleaned
Gold $5-Liberty Head Half Eagle
Large date, large letters. 1842-D wrangles with 1861-D as a contender for the rarest Dahlonega half-eagle, and a high-grade survivor of any description will be in demand by astute collectors. ANACS claims this AU sharpness example to be cleaned, and indeed, glossy lemon-yellow shows across both sides, accompanied by obvious hairlines in the obverse lower right field. Perhaps as important as anything, the surface actually displays a lot fewer abrasions than typical for a southern mint gold coin.

Lot #294 - 1849 Ten D. $10 Moffat NGC XF-40
Hammer: $13,750
Territorial Gold-Territorial Gold
Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-6a (R.5+). Though always weakly detailed, the central intricacies seem even flatter than usual for the type on the obverse, while the reverse seems a trifle sharper by comparison. More important, perhaps, the surface exhibits endearing carrot-gold hue that suggests a highly original surface. Trivial nicks in Liberty's central hair are the most obvious sign of contact, and the cataloger notes a shallow rim bump on the reverse at far right.
