The June 4, 2000, Dr. Jon Kardatzke Collection Parts II & III, Sale 5
Lot 860 
1925-S. MS-63. Flashy hard-white luster and only the tiniest of abrasions create a Gemmy appearance. A mint-caused light scuff on Liberty's neck is mostly why we don't call this MS65.
Lot 861 
1926-D. PCGS graded MS-66. Creamy white and Superb! Two tiniest of ticks on the obverse. The eagle's feathers are unusually devoid of abrasions, even microscopic ones. Not perfect, but close.
Lot 862
1926-D. MS-63. Strong white luster but some old lines and scuffs on both sides.
Lot 863
1926-S. NGC graded MS-65. Dark brownish gray toning. Surfaces look nice but it's hard to see through the color.
Lot 864
1926-S. MS-65. A delightful, well-struck coin showing almost no abrasions. Gem BU.
Lot 865
1927. MS-65. Luster a bit subdued, as often seen on this date from Philadelphia, but the marks are few and far between and the strike is nothing to complain about.
Lot 866
1927. MS-64. This is a lovely coin, very choice, satiny white luster, sharply struck.
Lot 867
1927. MS-60. Brilliant and well struck. Choice but for an obverse pinscratch.
Lot 868 
1927-D. MS-64. Flashy hard-white luster, boldly struck, and showing only tiny abrasions. The eagle's feathers are complete and frosted right down to their tips. Looks like a Gem, and we may be grading it too conservatively.
Lot 869 
1927-S. NGC graded MS-65. What a beautiful Gem BU this is! The luster is gleaming and satin-like in texture. The rims show delicate light gold iridescence. Liberty's face glows but has two microscopic ticks, while the eagle's feather tips show tiny fritzies. Few '27-Ss look this great.
Lot 870
1927-S. NGC graded MS-65. Not as wowwy as the other NGC-graded 65 of this date and mint, but still a nice, nice coin. The surfaces are a delicately golden hued white. A few abrasions yet one of the best of these to be found at this grade level.
Lot 871 
1927-S. MS-64. Stark white surfaces with only small abrasions on the eagle and showing a few wispy lines from being adored on velvet, more than likely.
Lot 872
1928. AU-55. Overdipped and with some marks, but no real wear.
Lot 873
1928-S. MS-62. Usual strike and usual small abrasions all over both sides, but great luster on this Choice BU dollar. "Fresh!".
Lot 874
1934. MS-63. Snow-white color and lovely surfaces, with nary a blemish.
Lot 875
1934-D. MS-63. Little fritzies on Liberty's "peaceful" face, but this is still a nice, white coin.
Lot 876 
1934-S. MS-63. Lovely white surfaces and few marks of any kind, but a few wispy hairlines on the front and some tiny abrasions on the back. Still, as nice as some common dates in 65 cases we've reviewed.
Lot 877
1935-S. MS-63. Choice BU, white, only small marks, a few light album slide-lines on the face.
Lot 878
1935-S. MS-63. Nice brilliance with a Gem obverse but some abrasions on the other side.
