An 1894 Morgan silver dollar in MS-66 and a 1927-S Saint-Gaudens gold double eagle in MS-64 are part of Heritage Auction Galleries‘ Sept. 27-28 Long Beach auction.

The 1894 Morgan is called remarkable by Heritage for its condition, in particular the blemish-free cheek on the obverse, which sale catalogers highlight. It was certified MS-66 by Professional Coin Grading Service, which has seen four 1894 dollars in this grade and none finer.

Of the 1927-S $20 the catalogers write, “The mint luster is thick and frosted. The bright surfaces have a noticeable overlay of reddish patina that deepens even more around the margins. Fully struck. There are a few scattered marks on each side.” It was graded PCGS MS-64.
