Lot 958		1796. PCGS graded VF Details, Environmental Damage. Very popular type coin as the mintage was tiny and this type was only issued in 1796. Hence all type collectors need to find an example, and not many have survived at all. This one faces up well despite some issues, with lots of hair detail and balanced surfaces. Light even grey toning. Only 6,146 struck (PCGS # 5310) Estimate Value $16,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 960		1842. Large date. NGC graded MS-65. A pristine gem example with lovely electric blue and violet toning on both sides. Exceptinoally well struck and attractive. Only 88,000 struck.

Lot 961		1843. PCGS graded Proof 64. Needle sharp and lightly toned with a blush of pale gold.An extremely rare early proof issue, these were struck at irregular intervals in the 1840s, with some years producing no proofs at all, others just a couple. Sometimes 10 or so were struck, and all are desirable today. A few decades later, proof coin production became far more prolific, with mintages in the 100s or even 1000s for most copper and silver denominations. Compare that to a coin like this with only 10 struck, with about 6 to 8 examples estimated to have survived by PCGS Pop Report. Pop 2; 2 finer, 1 in 64+, 1 in 65.

Clearly, a few were saved like the present example, and carefully preserved right down to today. Here is arguably one of the finest known of this date and mint.

Lot 977		1892. PCGS graded Proof 66+. PQ. Boldly struck with wonderful rainbow toning which spans from vibrant blue in the fields and devices, changing over to russet-gold at the centers, and lighter iridescence closer to the rims. This toning is perfectly matched and balanced on both sides. A coin which offers exceptional eye appeal. The 1892 Barber coinage was launched on the dime, quarter and half dollar, with the obverse dies all of the same design. The reverse of the dime continued the same as seen on the prior Liberty Seated design since 1860. Mint Engraver Charles E Barber used the mirror image of the Morgan design of the silver dollar obverse (1878) for the head of Liberty, and cropped her hair in the back, and placed the balance of her hair beneath a large cap. This coin should be called PR67. Only 1,245 proofs struck. Pop 2; 55 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 5678) Estimate Value $3,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 987		1916. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Head. Lovely toning on both sides of antique gold and silver gray. The strike is sharp on Liberty's head, enough to earn the desirable Full Head designation for this key date. These 1916 Standing Liberty quarters were launched in early 1917, in fact collectors and the general public did not even know these were struck in late 1916. Furthermore they were released with all the 1917 quarters, hence not many noticed these 1916 quarters until they were well circulated. This is one of the finer examples seen today.
