Lot 1203		1855-C. NGC graded AU-58. Nice golden toning with glorious surfaces that show no disturbances from very brief circulation. The strike is bold on Liberty's headdress as well as her flowing curls below. Her cheek is clean too, with no marks to distract the eye. These early Charlotte gold coins are quite rare, and almost never found in high grades like this. Their mintages are low, and survivors are few and far between. Hence, when a near mint state example like this crosses our desk, it deserves a lot of attention! So don't miss out if you love elegant and rare high grade classic gold rarities.

These early San Francisco gold coins are always in high demand, as the majority of those struck were the larger $20 gold coins. A prized condition rarity in this grade. Pop 3; 1 finer in 64.

(PCGS # 7569) Estimated Value $9,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1207		1870-S. NGC graded MS-65. Fully untoned with semi reflective fields and nicely frosted devices. This is a tough issue, with only 3,000 struck. Furthermore, branch mints were always quite busy striking these handsome coins from the Charlotte, Dahlonega and New Orleans mints since the beginning of the series, San Francisco came along too in the 1850s. Then the Civil War broke out in 1861 and branch mint gold stopped being struck, even from distant San Francisco! Then, one lone issue appears for the Gold dollar, the 1870-S as an outlier as no other branch mint gold dollars were struck through the end of the denomination in 1889. That's one reason this date and mint is so popular with collectors, plus its downright rare in any grade. This particular gem is one of the two finest seen! So don't miss it if you have been searching for a really special coin to represent this splendid San Francisco date. Pop 2; tied for the finest examples graded at NGC.

Lot 1209		1876. PCGS graded MS-67. Well struck and fully bright. Nice prooflike fields on both sides which offset the frosted devices. So few were struck that the dies never lost their original polish. It is curious that so few were made this year for this denomination, as it was the Centennial year of the United States and there were celebrations far and wide in this country. This is a glittering superb gem with unending eye appeal and glorious quality for the numismatist to long enjoy. Tied with just a couple of others as the finest seen of this date! Only 3,200 struck. Pop 3; tied for the highest graded examples at both services. (PCGS # 7577) Estimated Value $20,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

This is the centennial year issue of our country but was struck in very limited numbers. Reflective fields on both sides. Some light reverse lines in the planchet as made were caused when the planchet was rolled out between two massive steel rollers, which in this case left a few minor lines that still appear in the date and down to the left. Only 3,200 struck, and this is one of the finer examples seen. Pop 5; 5 finer, 2 in 66+, 3 in 67.

Pop 23; 6 finer, 1 in 68 Prooflike, 4 in 68 Star, 1 in 69. (PCGS # 7581) Estimated Value $7,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1212		1885. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. A magnificent gem Proof that offers not only outstanding surfaces, but also the desirable cameo contrast too.

This is one of the finer examples to survive, with glittering flash and unending eye appeal. Well struck and brilliant. Only 1,105 struck. Pop 3; 6 finer for Proof Cameo, 5 in 66, 1 in 67.
