Lot #599 - Nine Trade dollars
Silver Dollar-Trade Dollars
The Trade silver dollar is among the shortest-lived series of coins to ever be issued by the United States Mint and that creates a supply shortage that is easily noticed by any collector of the type. There are nine examples of this short-lived series in this group lot that includes the following: an 1876 (AU details, cleaned), 4x 1877 (XF), 3x 1877-S (XF details, cleaned), and an 1878-S (F). Collector grade examples of this scarcely seen type are a perfect entry point for any collector on a working man’s budget (ck).

Lot #823 - 1921-S NGC XF-45 CAC
Hammer: $825
Nickels-Buffalo
A superior quality planchet shows none of the usual alloy problems that plague 1921-S and the strike off of better dies yielded bold details, including a fully delineated horn. The only complaint the cataloger could register would be a slightly excessive supply of sharp abrasions over the bison's back and beneath his belly -- but hey, this IS a 1921-S after all and one can overlook such anomalies in light of the very good production quality.
