$700-900.
Lot 3807
1884-S. NGC graded
MS-60. A pretty and original coin, but it is rather baggy as one would
expect for the grade, mostly on the obverse as the more complex reverse devices
diverted most of the marks from the fields.
Estimated Value $250-300.
Lot 3808
1885. PCGS graded
MS-62. A few very light hairlines can be seen, but the luster is fresh and
bright, and we note quite a lot of "spin" on this one. The reverse is much
nicer.

few hairlines and a small planchet flaw near the eagle's beak.

nice, NGC has graded 38 this high, with a scant 4 higher in MS-63 and one coin
above at MS-64. Don't expect to find a better one, let alone afford it! Bid
accordingly.
Estimated Value $1,000-1,300.
