Lot 1288		1805. 4 berries JR-2 Rarity 2 PCGS graded Genuine. Our grade is Unc Details with signs of cleaning. A neutral gray, matte-like specimen with resilient underlying boldness and gray toning highlights. From center to periphery, the coin is generally well struck with just a hint of weakness at the curves of the wings where they leave the shield. Desirable date for a Type Set of early 20th Century silver coins (PCGS # 4477) . Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1289		1829. Small 10¢. Sharpness of Extremely Fine. Cleaned at one time. Estimated Value $60 - 70. Ex Stack's March 1982 Sale, lot 799; The Dr. Charles Richman Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $207

Lot 1291		1853. Arrows. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck with a hint of gold tone. What is most noticeable when one first examines this Gem 1853 With Arrows Seated Dime is its thick, vibrant mint luster -- it swirls around each side unimpeded by abrasions and untouched by even a hint of discoloration. A coin of singular beauty and importance to the collector and numismatist. A dullish impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck many 1853 dimes, however, we're pleased to see and report that this is a splendid exception to that rule. The devices are boldly struck. Pop 64; 52 finer. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700. Ex: Ashland City Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1292		1873. Arrows. NGC graded MS-64. Nice and frosty with delicate golden toning. Pop 26; 16 in 65, 4 in 66. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1293		1879. PCGS graded Proof 65. Lovely blue and lilac toning on both sides. Only 1,100 struck. This is a lovely, nicely reflective Gem Proof, both sides being original with enviable characteristics that should attract many bidders. That said, the strike is also strong, in fact, keen-edged throughout, with clear definition to the high points. Minor silver coin totals fell dramatically in 1879-81, with the Dime-sized coins being notably scarce in Mint condition. This tends to put added collector pressure on the Proofs. Pop 27; 14 in 66; 7 in 67 (PCGS # 4776) . Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1294		1879. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. Almost fully white with strong cameo contrast between mirrors and frosted devices. Only 1,000 minted. Pop 23; 19 finer (PCGS # 84776) . Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1295		1882. NGC graded Proof 68 Cameo. A fully untoned and superlative gem. Only 1,100 Proofs struck. Swirls of mirror-deep luster flicker when light hits the coin, while the richer texture than average on frosty devices draws attention. Next a word or two about the strike. What inspection shows is that the pressure transmitted from the die to the blank left behind a fantastic razor-sharp impression. All design elements are bold: Liberty's gown and hair, the shield as well as all legends, and on the reverse, Longacre's imaginative Cereal Wreath rises up in sharp, cameo relief against a delightfully sleek field. Pop 3; none finer at NGC. Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,590

Lot 1301		1902. PCGS graded Proof 67. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Nice reverse toning. Part of an original proof set in this sale. Only 777 minted. Pop 5; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 4886) .

Lot 1304		1911. NGC graded Proof 66. A glittering bast white Gem Proof. Only 543 struck, among the lower totals in the 1892-1916 series. The 1911 Proof shares the distinction with several dates in the 1890s (1896 & 1898 in particular) along with 1909 & 1910 in featuring the most attractive two-tone frost on the Proof dimes of their respective years. Bright, gleaming, well struck and lustrous with near-pristine surfaces. Pop 4; 3 in 67; 3 in 68. Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 1305		1916. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck and frosty, untoned (PCGS # 4870) . Estimated Value $275 - 300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $345
Lot 1306		Complete Set of Barber Dimes. 1892-1916-S. Missing of course the rare 1894-S. Coins will range in grade from About Good to Very Fine. A nice old time collection. Housed in an old Whitman blue folder. Lot of 74 coins. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100. View details	Realized $1,093

Lot 1308		1916 and 1916-S Mercury Dimes. PCGS graded both MS-64 Full Bands PQ. Both coins are better than graded. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $130 - 140. The Dr. Charles Richman Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $230
Lot 1309		1916. NGC graded MS-68 Full Bands. Star. A frosty white Superb Gem. Both the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints coined fairly large quantities of the new dimes during the first months of 1916. The output of the Denver Mint was curtailed, as that facility struggled to meet an extreme demand for quarter dollars. All the same, it is a privilege for us to offer one of only 2 such examples graded by NGC in MS68 Full Bands. Swimming in mint brilliance over each side of this sharply made Gem the fields and devices are a blizzard of whiteness. Both the peripheries and the central reverse are also impressive for their sharpness of strike, and the frosty textured surfaces are unlike those of 1917 and later on the 1916 issue. Pop 2; none finer at NGC . Estimated Value $3,300 - 3,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1310		1916. PCGS graded MS-67 Full Bands. Attractive light gold toning around the edges. Well struck and a superb gem. Pop 89; 8 finer in 68FB (PCGS # 4905) . Estimated Value $500 - 550. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $546
Lot 1311		1916. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bands. Boldly struck and mostly white with blazing fresh luster. The somewhat wide rims are characteristic of 1916-P (and 1916-D) Mercury dimes. They are more properly termed Winged Liberty Head dimes, since the Roman god Mercury had wings on his feet and didn't wear a Liberty cap. But the Mercury name sticks and that is how these have lovingly come down to us in the 21st Century (PCGS # 4905) . Estimated Value $200 - 225. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $299
Lot 1312		1916-D. PCGS graded MS-63 Full Bands. Well struck and lightly toned. A popular key date. The federal government's production of only 264,000 Dimes at the Denver Mint in 1916 appears to have created a feeding frenzy among contemporary coin collectors when they discovered how scarce these coins truly were. Since quality control was still good for the sake of the new design, most 1916-P,D, and S Mercury dimes emerged from the presses with defined central and peripheral devices. Later issues would deteriorate as quality control lapsed. The present example and exemplar of Choice MS63 quality. Both sides are fully struck in all areas with crisp, well rounded crossbands. The surfaces are nicely frosted beneath delicate shades leaving much of the silvery iridescence intact and gleaming (PCGS # 4907) . Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000. The Dr. Charles Richman Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $14,375
Lot 1313		1916-S. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bands. A vibrant white coin. Much scarcer than the 1916-P when fully struck with Full Bands. Should prove tempting to bidders. Pop 62; 17 finer in 67FB (PCGS # 4909) . Estimated Value $800 - 850. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $920
Lot 1314		1917-S. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bands. Well struck and mostly white. A noticeably superior Gem with admirable luster and surfaces that are free from all but the most trifling luster grazes. Pop 62; 10 finer in 67FB (PCGS # 4915) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,050. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $978
Lot 1315		1917-S. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bands. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Mostly untoned with a hint of light gold tone, the eye appeal on this specimen just won't quit. Pop 103; 72 finer, 62 in 66FB, 10 in 67FB (PCGS # 4915) . Estimated Value $700 - 750. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $719
Lot 1316		1918. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bands. Well struck and mostly white except the obverse side from 7:00 to 9:00. Desirable in this Full Bands grade. Pop 92; 41 finer at PCGS (PCGS # 4917) . Estimated Value $600 - 650. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $690
Lot 1317		1918. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Bands. Nice even gold toning (PCGS # 4917) . Estimated Value $180 - 190. The Dr. Charles Richman Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $230
Lot 1318		1919. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Bands PQ. A hint of light tone (PCGS # 4923) . Estimated Value $150 - 160. The Dr. Charles Richman Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $196
Lot 1319		1920. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bands. Lovely blue and golden toning over lustrous surfaces. Bold strike. Pop 86; 13 finer in 67 (PCGS # 4929) . Estimated Value $425 - 450. Ex: Scheppman Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $529
Lot 1320		1920. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Nice light toning and boldly struck. The bands are almost full. Pop 64; 30 finer (PCGS # 4928) . Estimated Value $60 - 70. The Dr. Charles Richman Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $81
Lot 1321		1921. NGC graded XF Details, environmental damage. Not nearly as bad as this description might sound. Estimated Value $300 - 325. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $264
Lot 1322		1921. NGC graded VF-20. Popular Key Date. Estimated Value $150 - 160. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $207
Lot 1323		1921-D. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ. Well struck and white with glinting luster throughout the surfaces. The bands are almost full. 1921 and 1921-D are scarcer issues in the 1920s. After the boomtime conditions of 1917-18, things continued along fine in 1919-20 in the aftermath of the Great War Armistice of 11/11/1918, but then a recession set in in 1921 which caused the banks to request fewer circulating coins from the Treasury. The Treasury in turn ordered the Mints to reduce production as evidenced by the much lower mintage this year in most denominations except silver dollars. Pop 22; 52 finer (PCGS # 4936) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100. The Dr. Charles Richman Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,840
Lot 1324		1924-S. MS-63 Full Bands. A nice radiant glow tantalizes the eye from this lustrous S-mint piece, a coin whose mint frostiness goes round and round. We'd like to cover more ground with the mint bloom but don't want to skip the coin's sharp detail. Clockwork precision seen in the wing and fasces, including bold fully struck bands. Estimated Value $550 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $604
Lot 1325		1924-D. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bands. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Well struck with light golden toning, a coin whose beauty is plain to see in the photos but even more so when inspected under low magnification where all of its charm and detail reveals itself. Pop 73; 43 finer, 34 in 66FB, 9 in 67FB (PCGS # 4945) . Estimated Value $750 - 800. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $863

Lot 1327		1927. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bands. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Well struck and mostly untoned. Not as common in this outstanding state of preservation as it's mintage might indicate. Pop 109; 20 finer, 2 in 66+FB, 18 in 67FB (PCGS # 4961) . Estimated Value $400 - 425. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $437

Lot 1330		1927-S. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bands. Well struck with some light gold toning here and there. The satin-like gleam of originality is safe and sound from most abrasions of measurable size which makes this '27-S all the more enjoyable to describe for readers. In the light of the churning mint bloom, collectors will like to hear this piece is struck with exactitude rarely found on Mercury dimes struck in San Francisco. Become aware of the low census: Pop 29; 12 finer, 1 in 65+FB, 11 in 66FB (PCGS # 4965) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. Ex: Jay Eisenberg Collection.
