Lot 2105		1892. PCGS graded MS-66. A frosty, pure white Gem with semi-Prooflike fields on both sides. This coin has a great "look" and should fetch a final bid way above current levels for the grade.

Lot 2110		1893. PCGS graded Proof 68 Cameo. Here is a phenomenal superb gem specimen.

Lot 2111		1893. PCGS graded Proof 67 Cameo. An icy-white Gem in absolutely stunning condition. The obverse fields are semi-satiny, which makes this piece look like the most amazing circulation strike. The reverse is highly reflective and approaches the pinnacle of perfection. To date, PCGS has certified only 8 Proof-67 Cameos, plus only two finer (both in PR-68 Cameo). While this one won't go cheap, it won't approach the "cost-of-a-house" price required for a 68 Cameo! Estimated Value $16,000 - 18,000 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2112		1893. PCGS graded Proof 65. PQ. Toned in delicate lilac pastels in the centers, with delightful sea-green and blue toning at the peripheries.

Lot 2113		1895. NGC graded Proof 68 Cameo. Intense cameo contrast in a pure-white format (why isn't this a Deep Cameo?). The only toning present on this coin is a wisp of golden color on some of the outer rims. Perfect for type purposes. NGC reports 10 coins at this level, with only one finer (PR-69 Cameo). Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,475
Lot 2114		1895. PCGS graded Proof 66. PQ. Superb color for the toning aficionado. The obverse features a lilac head of Liberty surrounded by olive-green and blue peripheries.

Lot 2142		1907. NGC graded MS-68. An incredibly frosty example, with drifts of snowy luster creating a winterland of crystalline white color on both sides. Considering how this coin was made, it is a miracle it has survived in such an extraordinary condition. Unlike Proof coins, these were made for circulation using a "quantity, not quality" method. As soon as the coins were struck, they fell into a bag or hopper, clanging neighbor against neighbor, imparting dings and milling marks to each other. Even having avoided these tribulations, this coin started out special, as one rarely sees Mint State Barber Quarters with the depth of luster seen here. It is truly a breath-taking coin and the finest example yet available of this date. NGC has graded only this coin in MS-68 -- PCGS has graded none. Neither service has graded anything finer. Estimated Value $6,000 - 9,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,613

Lot 2147		1908. PCGS graded Proof 67. Impressive, milky rainbow pastel toning on the obverse. The reverse, on the other hand, is toned in a rich, uniform sea-green and lilac pastel iridescence.

Lot 2149		1908-S. PCGS graded MS-66. Well struck, with light, original gold toning on both sides. This is an important condition level for this lower mintage date -- PCGS reports only 3 in this grade, 1 in MS-67, and 1 in MS-68. A wonderful opportunity for the specialist in this series (PCGS # 5652) Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,750
Lot 2150		1909. PCGS graded Proof 66. Toned in deep, olive-blue, with scattered hints of light pinkish-lilac. Liberty's head is white, as is a small circle of white at the top of the reverse. The upper right obverse and lower left reverse present a dusky, almost charcoal color (a bit brighter and this coin might have graded Proof-67). PCGS reports 28 at this level, 14 in Proof-67, and a mere 4 examples in Proof-68 (PCGS # 5695) Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,105
Lot 2151		1909. NGC graded Proof 62 PQ. A very flashy brilliant white proof example with pleasing cameo contrast and a touch of tone about the borders. Only 650 proofs made. In an older holder. Estimated Value $325 - 350 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $719
Lot 2152		1909-D. NGC graded MS-64. Nicely toned on both sides. In an old NGC holder. Estimated Value $300 - 335 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $403
Lot 2153		1910. NGC graded Proof 68. Beautifully toned in a mottled blend of rainbow iridescence on the obverse. The reverse is not quite as bright, but is every bit as impressive and colorful, displaying deep sea-green and sky-blue toning that sizzles under a light source. Obviously well cared for, this piece sits at the top of the condition ladder with 7 coins similarly graded by NGC (which has yet to assign a higher grade to this date). Estimated Value $7,000 - 9,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,763
