Lot #502 - 1857-S Spiked Shield S.S. Central America with gold dust PCGS MS-65+
Gold $20-Liberty Head Double Eagle
Ex-S.S. Central America, "spiked shield" reverse. 9 graded MS-65+, 17 higher at PCGS. The enormous PCGS slab also contains a pinch of "California gold dust" although the encapsulated particles are irritatingly difficult to appreciate through the curiously frosted viewing panel. What is easy to appreciate is the exceptional quality of the 1857-S double-eagle, which appears fully MS-66 to the cataloger's eye. Outrageous, very-bright pale luster predominates over the impressively detailed motifs that suffer merely trivial little bagmarks. Upgrade may be denied by PCGS due to faint, shiny sliding abrasions left and below the chin but otherwise, the surface hardly looks like something which spent more than a century within the salty waters of the Atlantic.

Lot #756 - 1876 NGC PR-65
Hammer: $1,600
Quarter Dollars-Liberty Seated
Type-2 reverse. A large mintage of 1150 pieces anticipated heavy demand as the centennial year of the nation's birth. Expectations may also explain the apparent extra care taken to produce these proofs as this is a typically razor-sharp example with no sign of weakness whatsoever. Phenomenal, velvety violet-green deeply saturates the obverse and layers over the outer areas of the reverse where it surrounds salmon-gold hues.
