Lot #883 - 1822 UNC details
Large Cents-Liberty Head
Newcomb-11, and needle-sharp with details reminiscent of a common Randall hoard cent. Indeed, sharpness borders upon cataloger's grade of [UNC/altered surface], wherein oblique lighting angles reveal evidence that the surface was once burnished with exquisite care, lessening the effects of trivial, isolated microporous effects. The surface was subsequently recolored with some success except for remnants of olive-green mixed with overall sienna-brown hues. The ultimate consequence of all this discussion is that no perceptible luster remains, and the cataloger could see an EAC estimate of XF40.

Lot #299 - 1852 "900" $50 U.S. Assay Office AU details in a Capital Plastics holder
Hammer: $30,000
Territorial Gold-Territorial Gold
Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-14 (R.5+). Cataloger's grade represents DETAILS ONLY: AU. The coin has never been removed from its current Capital Plastics holder and we respect the wishes of the consignor to leave it so. Through the plastic, this massive production appears to be generally free from edge nicks and corner dings that tend to plague the series. Further, a tremendous strike exceeds expectations as it reached peripheral lettering often missed by even high-grade mint-state examples. All four digits in the date stand out clearly, and the final "A" in CALIFORNIA is strong as are all the letters nearest the corners. The eight points are where the most metal flow must occur, hence details tend to be weakest there.
