Lot 2015		1855-C. PCGS graded AU-53. Lot of mint luster evident, however struck on a faulty planchet with a few shallow chips out of the fields, this feature is common to this issue and mint.

Lot 2016		1855-O. NGC graded AU-55. Only 55,000 minted and well struck for this scarce New Orelans issue. The surfaces are satin smooth and offer little more than a few trivial marks from brief circulation. The eye appeal is high for this early gold dollar! Nice golden toning (PCGS # 7535) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,233
Lot 2017		1870-S. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck and untoned with flashy luster and ample mint frost on the devices. The open fields are quite clean, with a few tiny scuffs and nicks that are not too distracting. This is one of the tougher mintmarked dates from the Gold dollar series, not only due to the tiny mintage and high attrition rate, but for the demand from many collectors who seek a high grade example. This one is high among the finest known. Only 3,000 struck. Pop 3; none finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7570) . Estimated Value $16,000 - 18,000.

Lot 2018		1873. Open 3. NGC graded MS-63 Prooflike. A nice untoned coin that shows strong reflectivity in the fields and well frosted devices. The surfaces are pleasing too. Pop 11; 2 finer in 64. Estimated Value $900 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,351
Lot 2019		1878. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Fully white with reflective surfaces. Most of the Gold dollars in this era have low mintages, here only 3,000 struck in 1878, and when compared with the millions of silver dollars struck this year puts things into a different perspective. Gems like this are highly collectible an popular with collectors for they offer great beauty as well as rarity in abundance. Pop 5; 2 finer, 1 in 66+, 1 in 67. (PCGS # 7579) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 2020		1879. PCGS graded MS-67 PQ. CAC Approved. The obverse has prooflike fields. Well struck and choice. Only 3,000 examples minted and this is one of the very finest certified, in fact it is tied at the top with seven others for this date and mint. The strike is bold and Liberty's head is well frosted by the dies. Notice too how splendid the fields are, utterly free of contact! It would be hard to even imagine a finer example of this tough date and mint. Pop 8; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7580) . Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500.
