Three Leaves Below Wings SP $3,000.00 A second. Fine, or better. Despite light even wear, it is clear that this specimen was very well struck given the bold high rims and the intricate details remaining in the feathers. Surfaces are a charming silver-gray tone and feature subtle lavender highlights. Light friction lines and a short scratch at the top of Liberty's head are noted for completeness of description.

Pointed 9 CH VF $1,600.00 Choice Very Fine. A mostly untoned coin with just a hint of light silver and gold.

An untoned coin that has been lightly cleaned. A tiny rim mark at 7:00 hardly detracts. Some heavy mint-made adjustment marks on the central reverse. Well struck. 2886 1798 B.26 (R-5).

Brilliant Uncirculated BU $15,000.00 A lovely specimen with full frosty mint lustre. The color is pale silver with some sky blue toning at Liberty's head. This die state was formerly known as Bolender 18, but has since been delisted because it is only a later die state of Bolender 13.

Liberty Seated Silver Dollars Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2894 1840 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $6,000.00 Iridescent gray surfaces surround superbly struck central figures.

Slight hairlines can be seen beneath nice, light gray and russet toning. Typical strike for this early Dollar date. 2896 1846 AU $400.00 About Uncirculated.

Pale gray toning over well struck surfaces. A tiny rim nick on the reverse at 9:00. Plenty of mint lustre under the toning. 2898 1859'O' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $5,000.00 - if not a tad finer. Very nicely toned in palest silver and russet. Very pleasing surface quality, the fields seem shimmery and clear. 2899 1859'O' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $700.00 - with claims to a higher grade. Another. Silver-white lustre cartwheels are in plain evidence on this boldly struck New Orleans mint issue.

Pale silver in color with outstanding lustre and just a trace of russet around the rims. Here is a specimen that probably harkens back to the hoard of 1859'O' and 1860'O' Silver Dollars found in Treasury vaults in the 1960's. 2901 1863 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $3,850.00 Fields are uninterrupted mirrors of pure reflectivity, while the central devices and legends are somewhat frosted for a pleasing light cameo effect. Gently orange-gold toning lends a touch of class to this high quality, fully original specimen. Here is a high quality survivor of this No Motto issue of which just 460 Proofs were produced. 2902 1865 Proof CH AU $550.00 This specimen escaped briefly into circulation, receiving light wear that would fall into the Choice About Uncirculated range if this were a business strike. Deep champagne-gold and lavender tones beautify this lovely specimen whose only ''problem'' is inadvertent circulation wear! A mere 500 Proofs were struck of this last collectible No Motto Proof issue. 2903 1869 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $4,400.00 Super reflective surfaces that are well contrasted with the frosted devices. A bit of light gold color is apparent. A tiny slide mark is visible under the eagle's neck that continues to the top of his left shoulder. Still a very pleasing example of this popular type coin. One of only 600 proofs struck. 2904 1870'CC' AU $2,300.00 About Uncirculated. Toned in rich olive gold and iridescent tones, this specimen displays some very subtle hairlines beneath this beautiful layer of color.

S. Trade Dollars Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2906 1873 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $1,900.00 Exceptional cameo contrast causes frosty devices to float on deep-mirror fields of exceptional visual quality, all framed by gold-toned squared rims. A couple of diagnostic die file lines can be found in the drapery above Liberty's ankle. One of 865 struck, die rust on Liberty's arm suggests the final 65 Proofs delivered in the last quarter of the year. 2907 1873 Brilliant Proof BR PF $1,400.00 - virtually Choice. A second. Glittering reflectivity is the defining characteristic of this bright silver specimen featuring lightly frosted devices and subtle golden toning at the peripheries.

Pleasing russet and gold allow underlying silver to peep through at various points, notably the reverse rim. Here is a charming example of the first San Francisco date, most of which went overseas as intended, leaving remarkably few high quality Uncirculated pieces for later generations of collectors.
