Lot 208		1824. Overton-104, Rarity 2. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC. PQ. A splendid example that is likely the very finest known and the only CAC example of the trio of MS65 examples known from these dies. The strike is glorious, with full curls on Liberty, the stars mostly sharp too. For the reverse the eagle's feathers are all bold, and the lettering crisp and sharp. The surfaces are stunning, truly a quantum leap above the typical lower grade seen. Notice the satin freshness of the fields, free of distracting marks, with luster intact and not limited by careless handling over the last nearly 200 years. A towering example with a fantastic pedigree that is nearly as old as the coin itself. Pop 1; tied for the finest examples graded at both services for the variety.

Lot 211		1861-O. CSA Obverse, FS-401 (FS-007), WB-102, Rarity 3. PCGS graded VF-20. A lightly toned example of this prized and sought after die pairing.

Lot 213		1875-S 50C PCGS MS66. PCGS graded MS-66. CAC. The obverse and reverse are bathed in lovely toning with mint fresh luster evident in the fields. The surfaces are worthy of long and pleasurable examination as so few of these exist so well preserved and this is borne out in the Population Report data noted herein. Merely 3,000 examples are estimated to have survived and this one is right at the top with just a few seen marginally finer. Amazing quality for the numismatist with an eye for quality.

Lot 217		1905-O. PCGS graded MS-65+. CAC. PQ. Nice rainbow toning with a few deeper gold streaks on the back of Liberty's head and a few scattered specks before her face. The strike is rather sharp here, particularly for a New Orleans issue, with strong feather details on the arrows, and excellent surfaces and fields. The coin is outstanding in hand, with strong luster and no distracting marks. A condition rarity this nice and quite a challenge to find so attractive as well. Pop 4; 11 finer at PCGS.

Lot 220		1920-S. NGC graded MS-65. A brilliant untoned frosty mint gem. A better than average struck specimen with full separation of the fingers and nearly full head on Liberty.

This is a memorable example and certainly worthy of a fantastic gem collection of Walking Liberty half dollars.
