Here are just a few of the highlights sold in the June 6 Bullet Auction:

1856-S 25C --Cleaned--ANACS. AU Details, Net AU50. The '56-S Seated Quarter is an absolute and conditionally rare issue. This piece is very lightly toned and barely worn over the highpoints of the design. Evidence of the cleaning is not readily evident.
From The Empire State Collection.(#5440) (Registry values: P7) REALIZED: $2,760.

1921 $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-3, R.7. A Top 50 Variety. Five star desirability rating. One of the most desirable Peace Dollar varieties, a ray through the first L in DOLLAR has been hand engraved on the working die such that it passes over rather than under the L. This very rare variety, in this high grade, is probably irreplaceable. Well struck and satiny, with traces of dark-gray mottling near the obverse margins, and scattered minor contact marks on each side of the coin.
From The William Bland Collection.(#7356) (Registry values: N1793) REALIZED: $2,760.
