Lot #826 - 1839 No Drapery Choice BU
Dimes-Liberty Seated
Cochrane Gambit Consignment. Cataloger's grade: [MS-62], or possibly a point higher depending on how one views the presence of some exceedingly faint hairlines. A clean strike brought up luxuriant details, particularly at Liberty's head and sandal, while the wreath features crisp delineation. A splash of toning across the obverse far right briefly spills across the reverse right rim.

Lot #815 - 1886 NGC PR-66+ CAMEO
Hammer: $2,400
Nickels-Liberty Head
3 graded PR-66+ CAM, 5 higher at NGC. Razor sharp obverse definition mates up well with bold but not quite perfect reverse sharpness for this shimmering, ostentatious proof type coin that also happens to be the same date as one of the well-known keys. All by itself, the obverse likely grades at least PR-67-plus but on the reverse, one can find a brief area of planchet imperfection beneath TED, limiting the grade.
