Lot 1023		RARE GEM 1916-S $5. PCGS graded MS-65. One of the finest known of the date, the NGC and PCGS combined Population Reports show the following: only 12 graded this high, with just 3 coins graded higher. Each service shows similar numbers, and there is a very high likelyhood that some coins are represented twice with resubmittals to the grading services a common practice. Thus, this coin is likely much rarer than the Population Reports would dictate. While this date is available in lower mint state grades, in true gem condition, it is extremely rare. This particular coin has vibrant luster throughout, and a hint of toning on the reverse rim. A glass will note a few widely scattered marks, but this coin is truly superb. We note one very thin scratch below the Indian's chin for accuracy. If you demand one of the very finest of the date, then here is a coin for you. In PCGS holder #5781543. Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $12,650
Lot 1024		1916-S $5 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Blazing gold luster throughout and well struck by the dies. The mintage for the year came in at 240,000 pieces, and the denomination was retired until 1929. With the war unfolding in Europe, most of these entered circulation, or were shipped overseas to pay for the huge war effort. The fields and devices are far better than usually encountered on this date, and to find an example with such abundant eye-appeal is quite a challenge for the date collector. The current PCGS Population Report notes only 57 have been graded as such, with just 6 coins graded higher. That makes this grade the finest readily available. Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1025		1916-S $5 Indian. NGC graded MS-63. Speckled coppery toning throughout and choice. Minor handling marks on the devices and fields, but decidedly better than most seen. Blobby mintmark, as usual. Almost impossible to find better, aside from the gem just offered, and this is certainly the best most collectors could ever hope to attain without spending a fortune. Estimated Value $1,700 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,668
Lot 1026		1929 $5 Indian. Fine To Extremely Fine. A nice selection for the date collector. Lot of 7 coins. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details	Realized $1,208
