Lot 3546
1908. PCGS graded
MS-64. Really splendid surfaces for the grade, with few signs of handling

important, and scarce, first year of issue of the Pratt Indian design.
Estimated Value $900-1,100.
Lot 3547
1908. PCGS graded
MS-62 Premium Quality. Rich coppery gold and well struck. Very nice quality

Lot 3552
1911-D. MS-60 or
better. Light coppery gold toning on both sides, with minor handling marks
present in the fields. We note that the D mintmark is weak, but easy to see
with a glass, as is typical of this rare date. Always in demand and perfect for
a date collector.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
Lot 3553
1911-D. AU-50.
This one is the "weak D" version, although the mintmark is present, it is
fairly weak. Nice color and surfaces and always in great demand as the key date
to the short Indian Quarter eagle series. This one comes with an NGC insert
that reports the grade of AU-58, but the coin is broken out of the holder and
currently raw.
Estimated Value $800-1,200.
Lot 3554
1913. NGC graded
Proof 67. Tied for the finest graded by both NGC and PCGS, with a combined
PF-67 population of 3 coins, and importantly, there are none graded higher.
Hence, if you demand the best, and there simply aren't any finer, then here is
a delectable piece of caviar for the finest collection. The finish on these is
a fine sandblast proof. Nearly perfect surfaces, and certainly one of the
finest to survive of a mintage of 165 pieces. In NGC holder number 567450-007.
Estimated Value $20,000-25,000.
