Nor have any been graded finer than the example offered here. Thus, the collector seeking a Gem example of this type has one option -- buy this coin! Estimated Value $30,000 - 40,000.

Lot 1144		1865-S $5 Liberty. EF-45. A pleasing example that spent some time in circulation but came out in pretty good shape. Sadly, few people collected coins by mintmark in 1865, so the chance of finding a Mint State example today is just about impossible (although an MS-64 example has traded hands twice for over $40,000 in the past five years). This example has nice luster, an attractive, pinkish-gold color, and a high degree of rarity. Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,668

Lot 1150		1875 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-40. The Dr. Jon Kardatzke coin, described (in part) by us in our June 2000 sale of his collection, as follows: "One of the rarest coins in the entire sweep of United States Numismatics. Only 200 were struck for circulation, of which Breen estimated that 'fewer than 5 are known.'…This particular coin does not appear to be the Wolfson coin (Stack's, October 12-13, 1962, lot 511) but it is hard to tell with the old half-tone photographs (this same coin was resold in the 1974 ANA sale, Lot 884). Perhaps it is the Boyd coin which was offered in the World's Greatest Collection Sale, 1945, lot 429. This is a date which is offered perhaps two or three times a decade [although the recent sales of the Bass collection have skewed this number upwards for the 1990's], and is more common in proof than other grades. The Dr. Kardatzke coin is a superb example for the grade, with very little wear even on the highest devices. The fields, rims and devices show light bagmarks, fewer than usually seen on common date coins of this era in this grade. Fully struck and a delight to behold… For identifying marks from which to trace pedigreees, this one has a tiny bagmark above and right of the upper olive leaf, and there is a very small mark on Liberty's lower neck above the 8. In PCGS holder #407023." Today, three years later, this is the only EF-40 graded by PCGS, with 4 coins finer (the best being a pair in AU-53…or possibly the same coin submitted twice). For comparable pricing, we point to two "raw" EF-45 examples that sold in two separate Heritage sale in 1997, for $40,250 and $43,125. A remarkable opportunity for the advanced collector (PCGS # 8336) . Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000. Ex: From our sale of the Dr. Jon Kardatzke Collection, June 4-6, 2000, Lot 1350.

Lot 1152		1878 $5 Liberty. SEGS graded Proof 65 Deep Cameo. A well struck example with glowing golden-orange surfaces and excellent cameo contrast. We note a few trivial hairlines scattered about in the unprotected fields, none of which are really worthy of note. It is only when great collections are sold that one has the opportunity to acquire this important issue. A major rarity in proof condition as only 20 were minted of which less than 9 still survive. Estimated Value $25,000-UP. View details	Unsold

Lot 1164		1901-S $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-65. Intense, radiant luster flashes forth from the sunny-yellow surfaces of this Gem half eagle. Far superior to most examples seen of this date -- the sort of quality that is eagerly sought-after in today's market. Even better, the holder is one of the older generation versions, with a green label. These have become tremendous values in our opinion. We recall back in 1989, when MS-64 common date Liberty Head Half Eagles were bringing over $6,000! (PCGS # 8404) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,300.
