Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 3399		1866. With motto. PCGS graded Proof 64 Deep Cameo. A classic Proof rarity with an original mintage of a mere 30 pieces. This example is tied for "Finest Graded" by PCGS, one of only two PR-64DCAM's graded by them (quite possibly the same coin). The obverse is brilliant, with bold cameo contrast between the watery proof fields and the heavily frosted devices. The reverse features equally deep contrast, with a touch of milky iridescence around the peripheries. Identifying features include a small mark just to the left of Liberty's ear lobe and another in the left reverse field just to the right of the T in UNITED. Otherwise, the coin is essentially perfect and certainly every bit a Proof-64. We had a little trouble finding auction records for this date. Jeff Garrett's and John Dannreuther's "Significant Auction Records 1997-2001" failed to list any. Norweb didn't have one, Trompeter did, Harry Bass had two AU's, and so on. In recent years, the chance to even buy this date in Proof has been rare indeed, almost rarer than the coin itself. Don't let this opportunity slip away. Estimated Value $85,000 - 95,000 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $120,750
Lot 3400		1871-S. NGC graded AU-55. Quite scarce in high grade. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,150 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3401		1872-CC. NGC graded AU-53. Third rarest of the Type Two Twenties (only the 1870-CC and 1871-CC Twenties are rarer). This one is nice and clean, with only minor bagmarks and lots of original luster. AU-53 is actually a great grade for this date, as anything nicer starts to become both rare and expensive. The finest 1872-CC Double Eagles certified by NGC are four MS-61's. Estimated Value $5,300 - 5,700 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3402		1873. Open 3. PCGS graded MS-61. Smewhat baggy on the obverse, but with nice frosty luster on both sides and no indication that this piece ever circulated (PCGS # 8967) Estimated Value $950 - 1,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,208
