Lot 1393		1849. Open wreath. NGC graded MS-62. A nice untoned coin (PCGS # 7502) Estimate Value $550 - 600 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $600
Lot 1394		1852-C. NGC graded MS-65. Among the finest known. This example shows an extra fragment of a post below the 1 in the date, and is one of two die pairings known to produce this rare Charlotte issue. The surfaces are satin smooth with ample luster to please the eye and the strike is sharper than commonly seen. The fields and devices are wonderfully free of contact marks, keeping the grade at the gem level. An astonishing coin to find so well preserved from this Southern mint. Only 9,434 struck. Pop 5; 1 finer in 66. (PCGS # 7518) Estimate Value $18,000 - 19,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $25,200
Lot 1395		1854. PCGS graded MS-65. A lovely well struck coin. Has lots of eye appeal for this classic Type I design with the small head of Liberty on the obverse. Delicate signs of die clashing are found in the reverse fields. Liberty's hair curls are particular well struck, and the surfaces are ablaze with classic orange gold luster. An impressive example of this important type issue. Pop 43; 28 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7525) Estimate Value $2,200 - 2,300 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1396		1854. PCGS graded MS-63. PQ. Well struck with nice orange-gold toning on both sides. Should be regraded for a higher grade as these Type II gold dollars are quite popular with collectors and rise in price dramatically for each grade point finer. This one offers clean surfaces and solid eye appeal (PCGS # 7531) Estimate Value $3,400 - 3,500 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1397		1855. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. Lovely golden toning on both sides. Very close to mint state (PCGS # 7532) Estimate Value $500 - 550 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1398		1868. NGC graded MS-67. Nice rich golden toning. Only 10,500 struck. Housed in an Old Style Holder. The surfaces are virtually perfect in preservation, with abundant mint luster present and undisturbed devices and fields. A tough date to find so close to perfect in quality. Pop 1; 3 finer, 2 in 67+ PL, 1 in 68. (PCGS # 7567) Estimate Value $8,500 - 9,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1399		1884. NGC graded Proof 68 Cameo. Super rich golden toning. As rarely seen on these the fields and devices offer the cameo contrast with incredible quality surfaces. Examination finds nothing to fault here, just pristine golden surfaces, mirrored fields and devices bathed in frost. The date shows strong repunching as commonly seen, usually on the Proofs of this year. Only 1,006 struck. Pop 3; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. (PCGS # 87634) Estimate Value $30,000 - 35,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1400		1885. PCGS graded Proof 66. A hint of gold tone. Regal color and surfaces that are outstanding in quality. The second 8 appears to have been punched over a 5, with the knob visible at the lower left loop. Further study is recommended as these Proofs are just starting to gain attention after John Dannreuther's new book on Proof coinage has ben released. Bold details. Only 1,105 struck. Pop 14; 12 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7635) Estimate Value $10,000 - 11,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1401		1885. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. A gem proof with undisturbed orange peel surfaces. We note a microscopic lint mark in the obverse field. Only 1,105 struck. Pop 4; 3 finer in Cameo and 10 finer in Deep Cameo at PCGS. (PCGS # 87635) Estimate Value $8,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1402		1886. PCGS graded Proof 66 Cameo. A superb brilliant proof specimen. This one is struck in bright yellow gold with a pale layer of orange gold. The strike is bold and precise and the surfaces are splendid in quality. Rare and desirable with the Cameo contrast, especially so when found this well preserved. Only 1,016 struck. Pop 4; 3 finer in Cameo and 5 finer in Deep Cameo at PCGS. (PCGS # 87636) Estimate Value $10,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1403		1888. PCGS graded Proof 65+ Deep Cameo. CAC. A magnificent gem proof glittering with perfection. Both sides are perfectly matched with bright yellow gold. The mirror surfaces are especially reflective while the devices seem to rise off the distant fields. A fantastic coin in hand. Only 1,079 struck. Pop 2; 4 finer at PCGS for Deep Cameo, 3 in 66, 1 in 67. (PCGS # 97638) Estimate Value $12,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1404		1888. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. Lovely light golden toning. The fields are nicely reflective while the devices are frosted with enough contrast to earn the cameo designation. Clean surfaces in terms of handling, and an appealing gold rarity. Only 1,079 struck. Pop 13; 26 finer at NGC.
