Lot #444 - 1912 NGC MS-65
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
45 graded MS-65, 5 higher at NGC. Nearly in the discussion for finest-known status, the quality seen here maximizes the appeal of devastating metallic mint luster and fabulous, bright golden color. A small nick in the reverse upper right field denies even further upgrade while the obverse displays merely a whiff of roll friction on the cheekbone. An example that will prove near impossible to improve upon.

Silver Dollar-Morgan
Flimsy, pale grey patina endows the whole surface and presents a reasonably vintage appearance. Fields are noticeably free from distraction while a few trivial handling marks land on the portrait.
