The June 4, 2000, Dr. Jon Kardatzke Collection Parts II & III, Sale 5
Lot 1675
1912. MS-62. A nearly choice example of this common date. Nice luster.
Lot 1676
1912. MS-60. Frosty luster on both sides.
Lot 1677
1912-S. EF-45. Lightly cleaned at some time, but nice enough for the grade.
Lot 1678
1913. MS-63. Loads of mint luster and excellent color, but down the eagle may be spied a long and bright scratch, possibly made when the coin was removed from a slab, because it comes with a PCGS MS63 label (we don't know for sure if it was for this coin or not). If somebody can improve on this blemish, they will have a beautiful Eagle.
Lot 1679
1913. AU-58. Nice and fresh in the luster department, with a couple of tick marks.
Lot 1680 
1913-S. AU-58. One of the low-mintage dates that is seldom found better. This one has a touch of rub on the upper devices, and is graced by frosty luster. Deeply struck and very desirable.
Lot 1681
1913-S. AU-53. Another scarce date with a low mintage of 66,000. This one has a little rim tick below the date, but is nice otherwise. Normal bagmarks on Liberty's face.
Lot 1682
1914. AU-53. Frosty luster and with just a bit of circulation.
Lot 1683
1914-D. MS-60. Satiny luster and original. Minor handling marks and scarce.
Lot 1684 
1914-S. PCGS graded MS-61. Frosty mint luster and original. The fields and devices are clean for the assigned grade, with only a few minor tick marks from handling over the years.
Lot 1685
1914-S. AU-55. Vibrant luster and choice, with a couple of trivial contact marks.
Lot 1686
1914-S. AU-50. But cleaned.
Lot 1687
1915. AU-55. Choice for the grade.
Lot 1688
1915. AU-53. Frosty and lustrous, with a couple of minor tick marks on the reverse.
Lot 1689
1915. EF-40. Nice for the grade.
Lot 1690
1915-S. AU-55. Decent surfaces, but some of the luster is missing from the upper devices.
Lot 1691
1916-S. AU-55. One of the low mintage dates, this one with nice surfaces.
Lot 1692 
1920-S. PCGS graded AU-55. The key date of the collectible coins in this series. The surfaces are frosty and bright, with abundant luster in the fields. A few minor contact marks can be seen with a glass, but nothing deep or problematic. Identifiable by a field mark below the second S of STATES. Only light rubbing on the eagle, and on Liberty to keep this from a Mint State grade. Seldom found in any grade, PCGS notes that only 41 have been graded in all, keeping this date decidedly unavailable for collectors. Obviously, most were melted after issue, with just a few escaping into circulation.
Lot 1693
1926. MS-62. A glass notes some very fine hairlines in the fields, and a couple of tick marks on Liberty.
Lot 1694
1926. MS-60. Lotsa marks but lovely color and great luster. Sure to please plenty of collectors.
Lot 1695
1932. MS-63. Splendid original satiny luster, but an unfortunate mark on the Indian's face.
Lot 1696
1932. MS-62. Exquisite satiny luster and greenish gold color, but some marks here and there. Original as can be!
Lot 1697
1932. MS-60. Satiny luster and with a bagmark on Liberty's chin and another on the eagle's thigh. Plentiful mintage.
Lot 1698
1932. MS-60. Old-time light yellow gold color, and some marks. Nicer than most 60's!
Lot 1699
1932. MS-60. Old-time light yellow gold color, and some marks. Pretty attractive.
