Lot #348 - 1904 PCGS PR-67CAM
Gold $2.50-Liberty Head Quarter Eagle
3 graded PR-67 CAM, 1 higher at PCGS. Between them, PCGS and NGC have managed fewer than fifteen aggregate UCAM/DCAM events in any grade, speaking to the difficulty of locating a specimen with superior contrast. This is partly due to a lack of special effort on the part of the mint to create high-contrast proof dies after the turn of the century. Nevertheless, this coin boasts exceptionally reflective fields on the obverse -- not quite UCAM but close -- and very good mirrors on the reverse. Contrast is thereby enhanced, but truthfully, the frosted-matte texture on the devices is also not strong enough to yield the kind of contrast that a UCAM designation demands.

Technically, the coin appears virtually flawless under 8x magnification, with fields that are as bright and pristine as possible and showing an absolute absence of hairlines. A single, tiny, sintered dot floats in space beneath the hair bun, just right of the smallest imaginable comma-shaped abrasion, and together, these could provide a pedigree marker for future collectors. A lintmark also occupies one point of the eleventh star.

Lot #843 - 1841 CACG PR-66RB TOP POP
Hammer: $20,000
Large Cents-Braided Hair
Newcomb-1, R.5 as a proof-only die-marriage. With a total population estimated around fifty pieces, the 1841 cent provides one of the very few opportunities there are for obtaining an early proof copper for "a reasonable sum" of money. An incredible PR-65 RD example was certified by NGC perhaps 20 years ago, while this red-brown example scores an extra point in grade, but offers somewhat muted copper-red color with velvety greyish-brown overtones. The cataloger could not quickly identify a recent sale of this same coin, but pedigree markers might include a faint, linear abrasion between the eleventh and twelfth stars, as well as a small carbon dot clinging to the top-left of the upper loop of "8" in the date. Somehow, the CAC graders permitted two greyish crumbles to adhere to the obverse but overall, the coin offers splendid quality for the early proof collector.
