Lot 1093		1854-O. Arrows, huge O. PCGS graded VF-30. Even toning. The O Mintmark was hand engraved, and generally blundered as its shape is oblong and way too thick. Clearly an early effort by some novice at the task of creating a mintamark. Popular Red Book variety. Pop 10; 35 finer, 10 in 35, 6 in 40, 7 in 45, 2 in 58. (PCGS # 5434) Estimate Value $2,000 - 2,100 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,998
Lot 1094		1854-O. Arrows, huge O. PCGS graded VF-25. Even old time toning. Popular key date. Pop 5; 35 finer, 20 in VF, 6 in 40, 7 in 45, 2 in 58. (PCGS # 5434) Estimate Value $1,900 - 2,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1095		1855. PCGS graded Proof 63. Wonderful blue golden toning that bathes both sides in rich originality. A scarce proof arrows type coin which adds considerably to the imporance of this rarity. The fields are clean and attractive, and the surfaces free of any distracting marks or spots. Only 20 struck, about 15 to 20 examples estimated to have survived according to PCGS Pop Report. A rare issue which is seldom offered in any grade, and this choice piece will certainly find many suitors who appreciate its many charms. Pop 4; 1 finer in 65. (PCGS # 5551) Estimate Value $7,000 - 7,500 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $8,519
Lot 1096		1856-S. PCGS graded EF-40. Even grey tone. A scarcer low mintage date (PCGS # 5440) Estimate Value $1,200 - 1,250 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,290
Lot 1097		1859. NGC graded Proof 65. Only 800 minted. The obverse offers rose-gold and blue toning while the reverse is more uniform with deep and lovely blue and purple toning. Scarce at the Gem level and highly desirable for the rich, original toning and depth of the strike. An early Proof like this, struck well before the Motto was aded to the reverse, is always a hard coin to find in Gem! Perfect for the advanced date or type collector. 1859 is the year where proof production finally became more widely available to collectors, and while hardly "common" today, these are somewhat available with patience. Pop 21; 19 finer . Estimate Value $3,000 - 3,400 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1098		1860-S. PCGS graded VF-20. Low mintage date with only 56,000 pieces struck, this one boasting attractive antique silver gray surfaces with deeper tones accenting the devices.

Pop 4; 31 finer, 15 in VF, 13 in XF, 2 in AU, 1 in 61. (PCGS # 5453) Estimate Value $3,000 - 3,200 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,820
