Auction 296 | Lot 6606 » Dimes » Early Dimes

1805 10C 4 Berries AU55 NGC. JR-2, R.2. Mintage of Half Dimes resumed in 1805 after a two-year hiatus. The final issue of the Draped Bust series had a scant mintage of 15,600 pieces, which was divided among two reverse varieties. The iridescent aqua-blue, yellow-green, and golden-brown patina adds considerably to the eye appeal. The strike is soft on the eagle's shield, while the wings have razor sharp details. The devices have abundant bright luster. The obverse has a few unimportant abrasions, while the reverse is carefully preserved. Struck from lightly clashed dies.

Auction 296 | Lot 8830 » Silver and Related Dollars » Trade Dollars

1883 T$1 PR65 Cameo PCGS. A gorgeous Gem that has a razor sharp strike and essentially undisturbed surfaces. There is a tiny planchet flaw (as struck) above the R in GRAINS. A small portion of the eagle's plumage has been lost, as struck due to die polish. The advent of the Morgan Dollar in 1878 coincided with the end of circulation strikes of the Trade Dollar. Trade Dollars continued to be struck through 1883, in proof format only for sale to collectors. The extremely rare 1884 and 1885 proofs were unknown to collectors for many years thereafter. Population: 4 in 65 as Cameo, 1 finer (3/02).

Auction 296 | Lot 5065 » Classic Commemoratives » Commemorative Silver

1892 50C Columbian PR68 * Cameo NGC. What can we say? When it rains, it pours. This was the third proof 1892 Columbian Half Dollar consigned to this sale, and it is the finest of the three coins. An unrivalled specimen as far as NGC and PCGS are concerned (4/02), the diagnostics are the same as on the other two coins in this sale. We do note, however, that the central reverse may be even more completely defined. Glassy reflectivity shimmers in the fields with golden-orange highlights drifting toward the distinctly defined denticles. The billowy mint frost that overlays the devices is the final requisite of the noteworthy Cameo designation. With extraordinary eye appeal and unsurpassable technical merits, we suggest that Commemorative specialists enter strong bids for this numismatic rarity. (PCGS# 9295)

Well centered for the type with the tops of some of the letters on the right portion of each side off the planchet.
