Sorry, no first Ladies here. Just the classic Ladies.
1795 half PCGS F15
1831 25c PCGS MS62
1878-cc Trade Dollar PCGS VF25
1862 PCGS PF63 25c
1879 3c nickel NGC PF66 old holder
These are at this week's sale at Baltimore. Feel free to PM if you want particulars. I actually purchased the bust quarter raw for MS63 money. Honestly felt it was in the 63 range with a 64 shot. So we'll see what the crackout boys think of it. But 62 was pretty brutal on this one considering it has strong cartwheel luster (fields unbroken) with none of the usual wing tip, cheek, hair curl, or drapery rubs. The photos could certainly use more light.
The trade dollar appears way too detailed and original for just a VF25. Crusty orig coins like this fare better ATS. A tough coin to find in this grade and a key date for someone building a set.
The 1862 quarter is ex-Vermeulle sale and brought PF64 money ($1725) at that sale (Nov 2001). Needless to say I didn't fare well on this one!
The 1879 3c nickel is an old "friend" from early 1990. And a grim reminder of how far the market tanked on these things. Bought this originally raw as a gem mint state coin. NGC graded it PF66 in early 1990. Still in the same holder and never sent back. I'm not convinced it couldn't be an unc. The coin is not fully PL. The services went back and forth on these in the old days. In any event very choice for the grade and probably as nice as what you'll see in PF67
holders today. On this one, decided to take my chances on leaving it in the old holder and seeing what the floor bidders think of it.

Based on bids so far these will probably all sell on the floor.
No Reserves from me. Though it would appear the house started them at a price they felt was a fraction of current market.

the coin was extremely free of marks imo. I don't even recall where they were but somewhere near the outside reverse lettering.
Again, very minor. Nothing across Liberty's face or the eagle. It no doubt has had an old cleaning (s) in the past.....like 90% of these.
It doesn't quite looks so gray/white. In hand I'd say the appearance is lighter shade of gray.
