While reviewing the initial results in various categories of recent auctions, my initial take is that the sales were moderate to strong.
The 1925 Stone Mountain commemorative features the iconic, larger-than-life monument that was carved into the face of Stone Mountain in northern Georgia depicting Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis and rebel generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. More than 1.3 million coins were distributed, making it the second most-widely distributed classic commemorative half dollar following the 1893 Columbian half dollar. Sold for $1 each and promoted by the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association, the Stone Mountain half dollar was designed by Gutzon Borglum.
Many Stone Mountains are circulated, and a large number of these coins bear countermarks with various state abbreviations, numbers, and other markings. These counterstamps date back to a distribution system in which various numbers of the coin were sold by the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association through governors and program chairmen in various states. The counterstamped Stone Mountain half dollars are collectible in their own right. Meanwhile, most ordinary Stone Mountain halves are known in uncirculated grades ranging from MS63 to MS66. Pieces grading MS67 are scarce and those in MS68 or higher condition are extremely rare.

More than 300 lots, consisting of high quality Walking Liberty half dollars from the Mack C. Chase Collection are set to cross the auction block as part of Stack's Bowers Galleries' November Showcase Auction, the official auction of the Whitman Expo.
The 1943 bronze Lincoln cent, graded Extra Fine by PCGS, was acquired from a family that held it unverified since the early 1960s.
