Breen's Die State III with light clashmarks in the area near the throat. Unlike some mid-19th century copper coins designated as Red and Brown, this piece actually shows considerable mint red on the obverse; the reverse is a bit less red but displays gorgeous shades of magenta and steel blue. The luster is extremely bold with both sides showing full, unbroken cartwheels. A really attractive example which would fit very well into a high quality type set. NGC 65 $2,875.00    1847 RESTRIKE Braided 1/2C NGC PR65RB A beautiful and rare half cent, that is one of only 27 struck. The obverse displays a lovely violet toning with mint red along the periphery. The reverse is nearly fully red, with a mere hint of golden and rose. This is an issue that infrequently becomes available and offers an unusual opportunity for the half cent specialist. NGC 65 $10,500.00    1866 Indian 1C PCGS MS65RD PCGS 65 $4,950.00    1886 VARIETY 2 Indian 1C PCGS MS65RB (CAC) According to Bowers' Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents only about 20% of the mintage exceeding 17 million coins for the 1886 issue consists of the Type Two pieces. This variety is the result of a new master die showing the lowest feather in the headdress pointing between CA rather than IC in AMERICA. Wonderfully lustrous surfaces display pleasing, mostly red surfaces enhanced by rose and golden highlights. CAC certified. PCGS 65 N/A    1867 Three Cent Nickels 3CN PCGS MS66 (CAC) The 1867 is a very common date in the lower Uncirculated grades, but it is surprisingly scarce in MS65 and actually quite rare in MS66. PCGS has graded just eleven as such with none finer. Very well struck from clashed dies. Both sides display a pleasing, pale golden hue. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $2,100.00    1872 Three Cent Nickel PCGS MS66 (CAC) The three cent denomination was popular until the mint began nickel production. By 1872 the demand for three cent coinage had dropped and mintages began to taper off. This early 70's example is a condition rarity with only a dozen coins so graded MS66 and no coins finer at either of the top services. Exceptional value. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $2,150.00    1873 CLOSED 3 Three Cent Nickel PCGS MS66 Unlike the 1873 on the Cent and Double Eagle, one can use the naked eye to distinguish between the Open 3 and Closed 3 subtypes of the Three Cent Nickel. The Closed 3 is similar to an 8 when viewed without magnification, hence the complaint by the Chief Coiner which resulted in a change of the logotype. The scarcer of the two varieties issued in this year and very elusive in Gem and finer conditions. PCGS has only graded 9 in MS66 with none higher. An even light silvery-blue coat enhances the surfaces of this example. PCGS 66 $3,750.00    1875 Three Cent Nickel PCGS PR66 (CAC) A scarce Proof issue with an original mintage of only 700 pieces, making it tied (with the 1874) for the sixth lowest in the series. Golden hues grace the background Not a single coin has been graded higher. A great date in a highly undervalued series. CAC Certified. PCGS 66 $2,150.00    1878 Three Cent Nickel PCGS PR67 Cameo A tougher proof-only issue featuring crisp devices and great cameo contrast. This is one of only nine so designated for the grade by PCGS, with only one PR65 deep cameo in any grade--a PR65. PCGS 67 $3,950.00    1863 Type 3 3CS PCGS PR66 A very scarce issue, with an original mintage of only 460 pieces, the lowest for the Type lll Three Cent Silver pieces. PCGS has certified just seven PR66's, (plus two Cameos). Here is a glittering jewel with breathtaking silver, pink and sea-green patina. PCGS 66 $2,995.00    1864 Type 3 3CS PCGS PR66 Of all of the Type 3 trimes, this Civil War date experienced the second lowest production with only 470 pieces struck. (1863 had the lowest, with 460 examples produced.) Sapphire blue is enhanced by emerald and sun yellow on both exceptionally attractive and harmoniously toned surfaces. PCGS 66 $2,495.00    1869 Shield 5C PCGS PR65 Cameo (CAC) This date has among the lowest Proof mintatge figures of any With Rays Shield Nickel with just 600 struck. The obverse is untoned while the reverse has some nice iridescent golden hues. PCGS 65 N/A    1883 SHIELD 5C PCGS MS66 A nearly brilliant example of the final year for the series, with a perfect strike displaying the design to its fullest. Slightly prooflike surfaces add additional appeal. PCGS 66 $995.00    1883 WITH CENTS Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 A crisply struck, champagne hued example with especially well-preserved surfaces and terrific luster. PCGS has graded only a single example higher for this first year of the type. PCGS 66 $950.00    1889 Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 Despite the high mintage figure (15 million plus), PCGS has only graded ten 1889 Liberty nickels at the MS66 level with none finer. Exceptionally well-preserved surfaces are lightly wrapped in the palest tone of golden peach. Certainly one of the very best surviving examples of this condition rarity. PCGS 66 $4,950.00    1891 Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 Sharply struck surfaces are overlaid with a pleasing golden patina. One of only 14 so graded by PCGS with no coins grading finer. An excellent find for a Liberty nickel collector seeking the finest quality, or type collector seeking a scarcer date and condition. PCGS 66 $2,650.00    1892 Liberty 5C PCGS MS65 Exceptionally well struck showing full stars on obverse and full corns on the lower reverse wreath.. It shows golden surfaces with just a hint of bluish-violet illuminating the center. PCGS 65 $1,150.00    1893 Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 An amazing Premium Gem with frosty, untoned surfaces and exceptional design features. Tied with a dozen coins for finest known status. It is a great time to purchase condition rarities in this series, as prices have dropped at least 25% from 2008 levels. PCGS 66 $4,375.00    1899 Liberty 5C PCGS MS65 A nice wood grain patina drapes across the sharp detail of this 19th century Lib nickel example. A clean gem example with great eye appeal from the light toning and the golden and blue hues. PCGS 65 $495.00    1900 Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 A bright example displaying a full strike and problem-free surfaces. The obverse and reverse display an interesting, layered toffee hue. One of the market's most undervalued series at the moment. PCGS 66 $1,050.00    1900 Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 (CAC) A better-date that is trading for about the price of a common. The Liberty nickel series is especially underappreciated right now. A good time to embark on the series if you are considering a new collection. Silvery-gold, original color appears on sharply struck, well-preserved surfaces. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $1,150.00    1905 Liberty 5C PCGS MS65 With crisp and bright surfaces devoid of any staining or spots, this gem Lib nickel is a pleasing specimen with great luster and eye appeal. A great type example of this popular series. PCGS 65 $495.00    1909 Liberty 5C PCGS MS65 An exceptional example with a vibrant golden hue enlivening sharply struck, lustrous surfaces. PCGS 65 $1,150.00    1912-D Liberty 5C PCGS MS65 The 1912 is the final year of issue. Choice lustrous surfaces show just a faint golden hue, and the devices are sharply struck. PCGS 65 $1,695.00    1861 Seated Liberty H10C PCGS PR65 This wonderfully colored H10c exhibits a pleasing deep plum patina in the rims that lightens to a vibrant golden color over the crisply struck central devices. A beautiful representation of the same patina clings to the rims along the outer wreath on the reverse with mostly white centers. A lovely example of this elusive Civil War issue. PCGS 65 $1,975.00    1867 Seated Liberty H10C NGC PR66* Gorgeous vivid rose and apricot centers are framed by plum and mediterranean blue. The fields are deeply reflective and clean, adding to the overall significant desirability. One of just 625 struck. Well deserving of the NGC Star designation. NGC 66 $2,750.00    1868 Seated Liberty H10C PCGS MS66 A very low mintage issue - just 88,600 were struck for circulation. Not surprisingly, high grade survivors are quite difficult to come by. PCGS has certified just 5 with only 2 higher. This specimen is sharply struck with frosty devices, problem free fields, and a rich golden patina on the rims. PCGS 66 $2,750.00    1872-S Mintmark Above Seated Liberty H10C PCGS MS65 A pristine, crisply struck example exhibiting excellent head detail. The light champagne toned surfaces display unusually strong luster giving this little gem big eye-appeal for such a small denomination. PCGS 65 $775.00    1827 Capped Bust 10C PCGS MS64 A wonderful example, possessing original autumnal shades of gold, green and russet with silvery undertones. A great representative of the last year of the "Large Denticles" Capped Bust Dime. (Note: there is a cloudy patch on the lower reverse that is in the PCGS plastic, not the coin.) PCGS 64 $4,350.00    1857 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR67 Perhaps 20-25 proof 1857 dimes survive today from an unknown original mintage. The present coin is the finest example graded by PCGS, being the lone PR67. The strike is razor sharp and the surfaces exude a prooflike quality. In addition, stunning rainbow color is added to the technically flawless surfaces, leaving absolutely nothing a collector could desire in such a rare numismatic item. Definitely a WOW coin. PCGS 67 $27,500.00    1867-S Seated Liberty 10C PCGS MS62 Fortin 101 - Die lump on the center upright of the M in DIME is clear, the die line to the left on the wreath is visible. Golden color throughout is joined by a lovely swathe of lilac along the right-hand side of obverse and reverse. Only 140,000 coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1867 and only a few remain in uncirculated condition. PCGS and NGC have only graded 19 coins mintstate in all grades combined. This being the only MS62 with 8 higher. PCGS 62 $4,950.00    1868 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR66 Deep Cameo This is the lone PCGS Deep Cam in PR66 with nothing finer. In fact, for the date, PCGS has only graded three other coins PR66, with no cameos or even non-cameo grading superb or better. A beautiful specimen with frost laden central devices enhanced by a beautiful ring of color through the lettering and date. PCGS 66 $10,950.00    1871 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR65 Cameo An amazingly attractive example featuring beautiful plum centers and iridescent blue along the rims. Scarce in the top grades, this is one of only five gem cameo examples with only six coins graded finer by PCGS and it is doubtful any are as pleasing to look at as this one. PCGS 65 $4,750.00    1873 Arrows Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR66 Cameo A touch of light golden toning can be seen on both sides and this offers great contrast to the very heavily frosted cameo devices. In fact, the obverse has enough contrast on its own to probably receive consideration as a Deep Cameo while the reverse does not quite have enough contrast to be designated as such. This is one of the most technically perfect 1873 With Arrows Dimes that we have seen. For the date, PCGS has graded six 1873 With Arrows Dimes in PR66 with none better. This is the only PR66 example that has been accorded a Cameo designation and none have ever been called a Deep Cameo. For all intents and purposes, the present example is the finest available PCGS graded Proof 1873 With Arrows Dime, making it very important to the advanced type collector. PCGS 66 $12,950.00    1874 ARROWS Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR67 The Mint Act of 1873 (a.k.a. "The Crime of '73") mandated a conversion of silver coinage to metrically weighed planchets. This required only a tiny increase in weight, but Mint officials were required to notify the general public, which they did by placing arrowheads at the date of all 1873 and 1874 examples, creating a two-year type. The current example is breathtaking. Deeply mirrored surfaces surround heavily frosted devices, all the while bathed entirely in a spectacular emerald green with hints of iridescent blue and gold added in for good measure. This is the singular PR67 graded for the date between either major grading service and neither have graded any higher in any designation. It is also the only PR67 graded by PCGS for the two-year type. PCGS 67 $37,500.00    1875 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS MS66 The cameo obverse devices are mostly untoned with a touch of color clinging to the periphery at 2:00. The mostly brilliant reverse is nicely framed with silver, green and amber hues through the wreath. Only four coins have been deemed finer by PCGS. PCGS 66 $1,595.00    1878 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR65 Cameo Pale olive and golden centers blend beautifully with teal and rose along the peripheries. Both sides display excellent field to device contrast, and the mirrored surfaces dazzle with their extraordinary display of color. PCGS 65 $2,400.00    1880 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR65 Cameo Both obverse and reverse surfaces are harmoniously toned in electric blue and sea-green peripheries surrounding orange and golden centers. The fields display strong reflectivity and contrast beautifully with frosty devices. Low production of business strikes for the year puts extra collector demand on proofs. PCGS 65 $1,650.00    1885 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS MS65 Breathtaking orange-red, honey-gold and light sea-green color covers the obverse and reverse. A wonderful lustrous example with nice mint frost and a very pleasing look. This coin is the epitome of originality. PCGS 65 $850.00    1892 Barber 10C PCGS MS66 1892 is the first year for the series and quite popular with type collectors. Stunning olive and sea blue mingle near the rims on the obverse while the reverse displays matching color along the lower half of the coin. The upper peripheries include attractive burgundy. Original and quite lovely. PCGS 66 $1,095.00    1900-S Barber 10C PCGS MS65 Pale champagne, satiny luster covers both sides of this gem Barber dime. A challenging S-mint dime in the better grades of Mint State, particularly in MS65 and higher. PCGS 65 $1,750.00    1906 Barber 10C PCGS MS66 A wonderfully lustrous example displaying pale golden color throughout. One of only a dozen so graded by PCGS, making it a terrific value. Housed in a green-tag holder. PCGS 66 $1,150.00    1906-O Barber 10C NGC MS66 Beautiful pastel rose centers juxtaposed with sea-blue peripheries adorn both sides of this sharply struck, pristine premium Gem. Rare and desirable at this lofty grade level. NGC 66 $1,495.00    1907 Barber 10C PCGS MS66 Nicely toned with light to medium champagne-gold in the center surrounded by an ice-blue halo. The current PCGS population is thirteen in MS66 with just a single coin graded higher. Here is a perfect example of a type coin that we feel is very good value. PCGS 66 $1,250.00    1909 Barber 10C PCGS MS65 A wonderful and affordable gem example of the Barber dime type. Very original with subtle golden coloring deepening a bit near the rims. PCGS 65 $575.00    1910 Barber 10C PCGS MS66 Flawlessly preserved with clean surfaces and strong striking characteristics. Lightly toned surfaces feature a pleasing blend of rose, gold and sky blue. A tougher issue in superb grades with a PCGS population of only 18 coins, and a mere 11 coin finer, numbers undoubtedly inflated by numerous resubmissions. PCGS 66 $1,295.00    1937 Mercury 10C PCGS PR68 Beautiful iridescent ruby, jade and sapphire colors lightly tone the surfaces when angled in the light. The second proof date of the series, and only the 1936 has a lower mintage. Neither major grading service has certified any examples finer. PCGS 68 N/A    1941 Mercury 10C PCGS PR68 An exciting, seemingly flawless Mercury dime example with beautiful centrical patination accentuating wonderful pristine surfaces. Spectacular both technically and aesthetically. PCGS 68 $5,250.00    1818 Capped Bust 25C PCGS MS64 Boldly struck with great star and hair detail. Coins from the period had many of the design elements punched into the hubs to produce the master dies used to strike the actual pieces. This interesting variety shows the "1's" in the date missing the left lower serif, and the capital "T's" on the reverse exhibit a small triangular chip missing from the right bottom serif. The fields and devices are devoid of distracting marks and lightly covered with a pleasing, original golden hue. PCGS 64 $8,450.00    1818 Capped Bust 25C PCGS MS66 B-4, R.2. Tompkins Die State 2, die crack from star 13-bust. Vividly toned peach-hued surfaces feature an intense band of electric-blue along the peripheries. Both sides exhibit frosty luster with well centered, precisely defined features and an amazingly sharp strike. In addition, the surfaces are nearly devoid of even the most trivial imperfection. One of the most spectacular examples of the Large Size, Capped Bust quarter we have seen of any date. Housed in a green-tag holder. PCGS 66 $39,500.00    1870 Seated Liberty 25C PCGS PR65 Cameo An elusive date within the cameo designation, as only three coins have been so graded and none grade higher. Brilliant centers are adorned with a vivid amber along both obverse and reverse peripheries. PCGS 65 $3,950.00    1875 Seated Liberty 25C PCGS PR65 Cameo Violet, electric blue, aquamarine and a flash of yellow blend to give this beauty fantastic eye-appeal. From a original mintage of 700, and with a population of only 7 in this grade and nothing higher by PCGS. PCGS 65 $2,950.00    1880 Seated Liberty 25C PCGS PR65 Still housed in the OGH, this example is richly hued with a deep blue and lavender patina over gem proof surfaces. This seated quarter has "electric" eye appeal in hand. A wonderful specimen with nice original surfaces. A great find for the toned type collector. PCGS 65 $2,250.00    1889 Seated Liberty 25C PCGS PR66 Cameo Brilliant, frosty devices contrast delightfully with clear, reflective fields. A hint of pale yellow washes across the central design of the obverse. Certainly amongst the finest of the surviving 711 proofs issued. PCGS 66 $3,750.00    1893 Barber 25C NGC PR63* Cameo A wonderful type example of the popular Barber quarter. This coin has the eye appeal of a much higher grade. Some very light lines keep this coin from grading much higher, but as the star designation indicates this has far above an average appearance, especially in this price range. A light blush of golden color enhances the strongly cameo'd surfaces. NGC 63 N/A    1901 Barber 25C PCGS PR66 An eye-catching Barber Quarter with the portrait of Liberty left untoned. Warm bronze and cobalt blue gravitate to the peripheries on the obverse. The reverse displays lovely golden centers with lavender, rose and sky-blue surrounding the rims. PCGS has only graded 9 higher. PCGS 66 $2,950.00    1908 Barber 25C PCGS PR66 (CAC) Stunning emerald green, electric blue and amethyst swirl around the bright tangerine centers on both the obverse and reverse of this radiant Barber quarter. The 1908's scant mintage of 545 pieces is among the lowest within the entire proof Barber run. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $3,250.00    1924-D Standing Liberty 25C PCGS MS65FH A very difficult issue to acquire in Full Head. This example exhibits superb head detail including a full ear hole. The satiny surfaces are aglow in a sensational champagne hue. A top notch gem in every respect. PCGS 65 $4,250.00    1925 Standing Liberty 25C PCGS MS66FH (CAC) A beautiful standing quarter example with crisply struck details and fabulous luster under a light golden and pink patina. An extremely clean superb specimen with great in hand eye appeal. Scarce in gem full head grades and better, with only six coins grading finer by PCGS for the date. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $2,650.00    1926 Standing Liberty 25C NGC MS65FH Satiny luster with the gentlest of golden and silver color. Pristine appearance and exceptional quality for this Full Head Standing Liberty Quarter. NGC 65 $1,595.00    1962 Washington 25C NGC MS67 Sensational light rainbow coloring tones the obverse periphery while the reverse displays a vivid array of emerald green, crimson and denim blue. NGC 67 $450.00    1825 Capped Bust 50C PCGS MS63 O-108. Golden centers are beautifully framed by aquamarine and pale green peripheries. Star 13 nearly touches the curl. On the reverse ED and AM are joined at the base. PCGS 63 N/A    1827 SQUARE Base 2 Capped Bust 50C PCGS MS65 PCGS 65 $9,950.00    1853 ARROWS AND RAYS Seated Liberty 50C PCGS MS64 A lovely, near-gem exhibiting an excellent strike and frosty, coruscating mint luster beneath a gentle rosy champagne patina. The Arrows and Rays design was only utilized for a single year, exclusively at the Philadelphia and New Orleans mints. An elusive and desirable issue that more than quadruples in price at the MS65 grade level. PCGS 64 $5,250.00    1860 Seated Liberty 50C NGC PR66 A superb proof "No Motto" half from the pre-Civil War era. The obverse features a rich array of color with gold, green and blue through the stars giving way to a pleasing blend of plum and gold. The reverse displays light lavender that darkens to an iridescent blue in the lettering. This breathtaking example is certainly among the very finest survivors of this issue. NGC 66 $9,850.00    1861 Seated Liberty 50C PCGS MS65 PCGS 65 $5,975.00    1884 Seated Liberty 50C PCGS PR67 Cameo An incredibly beautiful example that is the only PR67 Cameo graded for the date by PCGS. For the entire Seated Liberty series (1839-1891), a mere 14 coins have received this coveted grade and none have been graded finer. Intense mirrored fields reflect a sensational mixture of teal, violet, emerald and citrine harmoniously and completely toning both obverse and reverse surfaces. PCGS 67 $23,000.00    1885 Seated Liberty 50C PCGS PR66 Royal blue, rose, and bright yellow harmoniously tone both obverse and reverse of this pleasing example. PCGS has graded a mere 6 at this level, with only 2 finer. In addtion, there are no PCGS Cameos higher than PR65 and only a sole PR66 Deep Cameo. PCGS 66 $4,450.00    1890 Seated Liberty 50C NGC PR66 Cameo As the Seated series was coming to an end, the production numbers were drastically reduced. This example, from the second to last year for the type, is one of only 590 proofs struck (in addition to only 12,000 circulating examples). A beautiful cameo with centrical target toning featuring vibrant blues, greens, golds and plums. Spectacular for the type, a scarce coin by date, and a lot of coin for the price. NGC 66 N/A    1900 Barber 50C PCGS MS66 An exceedingly rare coin in this grade, PCGS has only graded 6 coins MS66, with only one coin finer. This example is sharp and clean with a lively array of rich patina throughout both obverse and reverse. PCGS 66 $7,950.00    1907-D Barber 50C PCGS MS66 (CAC) A tough coin in the superb grades, PCGS has only deemed two coins finer. This example exhibits crisp fields with good luster beneath a light golden green patina with hints of orange evident in the peripheries. A beautiful pastel example. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $7,250.00    1908 Barber 50C NGC PR65 Cameo An exceptionally tough date to locate in PR65 or higher grades, especially in Cameo condition. This example has superb field-to-device contrast and a true "black and white" look. Deeply reflective fields provide an enticing backdrop to the perfectly chiseled details of the design elements. NGC 65 $3,250.00    1909-S Barber 50C PCGS MS66 The 1909-S Half, one of over 1.7 million pieces struck, was heavily circulated, resulting in a scarce and somewhat overlooked issue in the better Mint State grades. This particular example is one of only 6 to receive a MS66 by PCGS, with only seven receiving a higher grade...numbers almost certainly inflated due to numerous resubmissions. Along with the rarity, the eye-appeal is stunning. Sea-green, bluish-silver and lemon-lime mix gently on both the obverse and reverse. PCGS 66 $7,500.00    1912-D Barber 50C PCGS MS65 (CAC) A well-preserved, beautiful gem example of the type, featuring steely blue toning along with hints of lavender and peach. The striking characteristics are strong throughout and the luster is characteristically strong. CAC certified. PCGS 65 $3,250.00    1916-D Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS65 The surfaces are blazing with luster and are also very clean with no marks noted to the naked eye. Nicely struck as well, with a nearly complete head and strong, nearly full thumb. Both obverse and reverse boast attractive crimson and sapphire hues along the rims. A lovely example of the first Walking Liberty half dollar struck at the Denver mint. PCGS 65 $2,475.00    1929-D Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS66 Beautiful in hand with a touches of gold on the highponts. Adorned with a thick mint frost, this early Walking Liberty issue was the first struck by the Denver Mint after its hiatus in 1921. A crisply struck with great details. As of this time, only one coin has been deemed finer at PCGS and NGC combined. PCGS 66 $4,500.00    1938 Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67 While this date is overshadowed by the illustrious 1938-D half, the 1938-P is rarely encountered in as exceptional a condition as the present specimen. Meticulously struck surfaces display rich, mint frost which is illuminated by a charming icy blue and bright gold patina. One of the finest examples of the date we’ve seen…and we’ve handled quite a few! PCGS 67 $2,950.00    1941-S Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS66 An extremely lustrous, fully brilliant example of this popular San Francisco date. 1941 is the first year in the often collected "Short Set" of walkers, which constitutes assembling one of each date and mintmark from 1941 through the end of the series in 1947. PCGS 66 N/A    1943 Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67 (CAC) Sharply struck with strong thumb detail and very clean fields. Lively luster is surrounded with a deep olive patina at the rims. A nice coin with great eye appeal. CAC certified. PCGS 67 $950.00    1943-D Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67 We have handled several Walkers with this unusual patina, and, if you’ve been hunting for toned Walkers, you’ve likely seen this type of color before. The centers are true pink in color and intense silver iridescence surrounds the peripheries and accentuates this coins natural halo frost. Provenance: The Wheat Collection handled by Pinnacle in 2004 PCGS 67 $995.00    1943-D Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67 A sensational high-quality example with a full strike and intensely bright golden surfaces. Very few marks and a look that screams Superb Gem! PCGS 67 $950.00    1945-D Walking Liberty 50C NGC MS67 The surfaces are completely untoned with strong, satiny luster. An exceptional value at current market valuations, with only two graded higher by NGC and none by PCGS. NGC 67 $795.00    1844 Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS MS62 The amount of bullion made available to the Philadelphia Mint in 1844 was meager enough to preclude a large production of Silver Dollars. Indeed, a mere 20,000 coins were struck in 1844. While scarce in all grades, this No Motto date is exceedingly rare in the MS60 and higher. This sensational example exhibits brilliant, semi-prooflike surfaces and a visually pleasing pale coral patina. Certainly not what one is accustomed to find in a MS62 grade, and most likely more appealing than several of the 11 pieces shown as finer on PCGS’s census. PCGS 62 $7,950.00    1858 Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS PR64 Cameo One of only 300 coins minted for the date, this cameo Seated dollar is tied for finest known with only one other specimen. Fully lustrous devices with mirrorred fields are accentuated with a light plum and iridescent blue patina in the peripheries. With low mintage, and low population figures, examples are of this date are rarely offered in the market place. PCGS 64 $34,500.00    1870 Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS PR66 Deep Cameo There were 1,000 pieces struck, but apparently nowhere near that many were actually issued. David Bowers writes in Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia: "It is one of those little anomalies of numismatics, and a spur to numismatic research and inquisitiveness, to note that today 1870 proof dollars are slightly scarcer than are, for example, those dated 1867 (which has a considerably lower mintage of 625 pieces). Apparently, most 1870 proof dollars were distributed with minor and silver proof sets. The scarcity of survivors suggests that quantities may have remained unsold at the end of the year and were melted, many after July 10, 1873. " Bright, fully brilliant surfaces display strongly mirrored fields set in gorgeous contrast to heavily frosted, white devices. The sparkling, illimitable depths of reflectivity seen in the fields cannot be overstated. A simply stunning example. PCGS 66 $46,000.00    1873 TRADE T$1 PCGS PR62 Struck during the first year of Trade Dollar production, this proof example is exceptionally pleasing despite its lower grade. A light blush of color drapes from the upper portions of the obverse on this otherwise brilliant proof example. PCGS 62 $2,750.00    1874 TRADE T$1 PCGS PR64 Cameo Dies for the trade dollar were prepared by Chief Engraver William Barber. The obverse displays Ms. Liberty seated at the shore on a bale of cotton, with a sheaf of wheat behind, representing trade and commerce. She faces left in the direction of China and holds an olive branch symbolizing peace and friendship. The American eagle on the reverse holds both three arrows and an olive branch in its talons. The present example is accented by a lovely champagne coloring, enlivening the beauty of the contrasting fields and devices. Certainly one of the finest survivors of the low, 700 coin mintage. PCGS 64 $5,600.00    1875 TRADE T$1 PCGS PR62 A well-preserved example of this lower mintage date featuring rich golden hues emanating from the obverse stars and across most of the semi-prooflike devices on the reverse. An extremely exceptional example for the grade. PCGS 62 $2,350.00    1875 TRADE T$1 PCGS PR62 Cameo A blazing, fully brilliant example with a few light hairlines in the fields, but consistent with the grade. The bright cameo contrast produces uncommonly amazing eye appeal. A lower mintage date with cameo examples decidedly tougher in all grades. PCGS 62 $2,750.00    1876 TRADE T$1 PCGS MS65 Obverse 1, Reverse 2, the usual dies. A gem example from the nation’s centennial year. Since the Trade dollar was intended for international commerce, particularly in China, it is logical that production primarily took place in San Francisco, close to the Western ports. Carson City struck barely more than half a million pieces in 1876, while figures weighed in at a mere 455,000 coins in Philly. From this relatively small production hails the present high-grade survivor, displaying faint layers of teal-blue and peach along with silvery-grey. PCGS 65 $10,950.00    1878 7/8TF STRONG Morgan S$1 PCGS MS64 VAM-41A. A Top 100 Variety. Visually arresting, multicolored toning enhances the obverse while the reverse remains brilliant. PCGS 64 $575.00    1878 7TF REVERSE OF 1878 Morgan S$1 PCGS PR64 Cameo This is one of only 250 coins struck proof with the 7 Tail Feather reverse in the first year of the Morgan dollar. A stunning example with light golden centers enhanced by iridescent blues and greens clinging to the rims. A flashy and scarce cameo example with only four coins so graded by PCGS and a lone example finer. Not often available in the market, this is an excellent opportunity for an astute collector to grab one of the Morgan series scarcest types. PCGS 64 $9,850.00    1878-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS64 Both obverse and reverse are bestowed with a rainbow of color enhancing sharply struck, intensely lustrous surfaces. PCGS 64 $675.00    1878-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS64 All 1878-CC dollars have the Reverse of 1878, with parallel top arrow feather and concave breast on the eagle. This was the first Morgan Dollar produced at the Carson City Mint. Although more examples were produced (2.2 million coins), the '78-CC is more difficult to locate as a Gem than the 1882-CC, 1883-CC, and 1884-CC. The present example displays semi-prooflike surfaces with a heavenly blend of crimson, sapphire and amber hues completely toning both surfaces. PCGS 64 $575.00    1878-S Morgan S$1 NGC MS65 An eye appealing first year of issue with crisp detail, clean fields and lustrous devices. The obverse is partially draped with a arching blend of deep gold, plum through Liberty's bonnet and lower curls, that extends to the rim turning a rich vibrant green. The reverse is mostly white, with the same frost and only a hint of yellow patina at the rims. A striking example. NGC 65 $285.00    1879 Morgan S$1 NGC PR67 Cameo A pale golden tone compliments both sides of this amazing Morgan. Wonderful frosty devices float above the watery fields. Mintage records indicate that 1100 proofs were produced in 1879, but according to Walter Breen, the mint only produced 750 pieces and then melted 100 of those in 1880. NGC 67 $13,750.00    1879-S Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 A magnificent turquoise crescent resides on the lower left obverse of this lovely example. PCGS 66 $285.00    1880 Morgan S$1 NGC MS65 Boldly struck, with full details in Ms. Liberty's hair and on the eagle's breast feathers. The obverse is toned in a lovely golden-rose mottled pattern, while the reverse has blazing untoned surfaces. NGC 65 $640.00    1880 TRADE T$1 PCGS PR65 For the third year in a row, the Philadelphia Mint produced Trade Dollars solely in proof format in 1880. Dramatic violet, iridescent blue and pale green toning forms thick rings around pale golden centers. An unusually attractive representation of this proof only issue. PCGS 65 $8,950.00    1880-CC 8/HIGH 7 Morgan S$1 NGC MS65 VAM-5, a top 100 vareity. An eye popping example of this interesting two sided variety. The obverse is adorned with a lively mix of deep gold framed with a band of blue. It exhibits the "High 7" under the 2nd 8 in the date, as designated by NGC. The reverse is predominately this same blue with a circle of gold, under which the slanting arrow feathers and 7 tail feathers are highlighted identifying this as a "Reverse of 1879". NGC 65 $1,575.00    1880-CC 8/LOW 7 Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. The obverse features Liberty facing a wave of blue green at the rim that gives way to rich golden hues with hints of rose and plum. The reverse is mostly white with a touch of deep patina through the upper lettering. A beautiful, frost laden example of this "Rev. of 1879" variety. PCGS 65 $1,650.00    1880-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS64 The obverse is enhanced by vivid apricot color framed by aquamarine along the periphery and the reverse is brilliant save for a hint of golden originality. PCGS 64 $695.00    1880-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 (CAC) Numerous varieties of this date exist, including the present variety with a small bar beneath the second 8 in the date. This variety is related to the overdate varieties of the year, although no other overdate features are visible. Appealing, multicolored toning enhances most of the obverse and a bit of orange-gold is found along the lower reverse rim. CAC certified. PCGS 65 N/A    1880-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 A gorgeous crescent of rainbow toning illuminates the upper portion of the obverse. Lovely bright fields with no distracting marks. A mere 27 examples have received a higher grade by PCGS. PCGS 66 $2,450.00    1880-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 A beautiful frost laden example with a crescent of rainbow colors gracing the upper obverse. A sharp specimen with undisturbed surfaces and exceptional eye-appeal. PCGS 66 $2,375.00    1881-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 With a mintage of 296,000 pieces, the 1881-CC should by most standards be a rarity today. But large quantities were stored by the Treasury to be released 80 years later to the delight of a new generation of collectors. The present coin is especially attractive with the upper left half of the obverse featuring a bright rainbow of color. The remaining surfaces are brilliant and frosty. PCGS 65 $1,050.00    1881-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 This example was encapsulated by PCGS with the reverse showing forward, because the reverse is amazing! The spectacular rainbow of colors are banded nicely across a sharply struck eagle. The obverse is mostly white with a touch of color evident at the rims. A common CC date with uncommonly monstrous eye appeal. PCGS 65 $1,050.00    1881-S Morgan S$1 NGC MS66 A technically wonderful coin with full brilliant luster and very clean surfaces. It is enhanced by sea-green, electric-blue, violet and golden colors that flow gently toward the centers but leave the rest of the obverse untouched. The reverse is untoned and bright. NGC 66 $295.00    1882 Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 DMPL A really incredible coin that, at first glimpse, looks almost exactly like a Proof. However, this is unquestionably a business strike that appears to have been among the very first produced from this die pair. The obverse is covered with attractive subtle lemon-gold hues while the reverse has similar but somewhat lighter color. Both sides are incredibly clean for a Morgan Dollar. DMPL examples of this date are very rare in Gem. The current PCGS population is seventeen in MS65 with just one better. For a mid-four figure price, this is one seriously rare--and attractive--1882 Morgan Dollar. PCGS 65 N/A    1882 Morgan S$1 PCGS PR66 Cameo Both the obverse and reverse display champagne color that deepens at the borders. Definitely not a borderline cameo as the surfaces showcase exceptional contrast. Both sides are unblemished and reflective. Not a hard date to find in the lower Proof grades, but seldom found in PR66, particularly with this degree of contrast. PCGS 66 $9,750.00    1882-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS64 The obverse of this Carson CIty Morgan dollar is overlaid with a vibrant golden hue. Lady Liberty looks into a blush of plum patina, while a halo of electric green encircles the back of her head. The reverse is 99% white with frost laden surfaces and only a few light contact marks evident. A spectacular specimen from a popular branch mint, with fabulous color, and a price of only $100 more than a non-graded GSA example. PCGS 64 $295.00    1882-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 An enticing array of sensational jewel tones adorns the obverse. Prooflike surfaces further enhance the eye-appeal of this wonderfully toned Carson City example. PCGS 65 $675.00    1882-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 In the 1970s the General Services Administration (GSA) offered 605,029 examples of the 1882-CC, or 53.4% of the original mintage of 1.13 million coins. Few pieces, however, exhibit the eye-appeal of this beautiful gem. Radiant cartwheel luster abounds from surfaces that show ample field-device contrast along with majestic obverse color. PCGS 65 $675.00    1882-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 A rich blend of fabulous color enhances the majority of the obverse along with a hint of the reverse rim. The remaining surfaces are frosty and brilliant, providing a splendid contrast. PCGS 66 $1,200.00    1882-O Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 Although not designated as such, both surfaces display noted prooflike characteristics. While the reverse remains essentially untoned, the obverse displays nearly the complete spectrum from pale gold to orange, violet, sapphire blue and emerald green. PCGS 65 N/A    1882-S Morgan S$1 NGC MS66 A lovely toned, common date Morgan dollar in uncommonly nice condition. Pale golden hue covers most of the obverse but a thin arc of powder blue, and flows down the left side. The reverse is bright and untoned. Both sides feature undisturbed surfaces and semi-reflective fields. NGC 66 $275.00    1883-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 A mostly white and lustrous example from the popular Carson City Mint. PCGS 65 $395.00    1883-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 A myriad of jewel tones envelops the obverse as well as the reverse rims. Shaprly impressed, lustrous surfaces further add to this coin's highly appealing nature. PCGS 66 $750.00    1883-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 The obverse is nearly completely toned in a rainbow of colors while the reverse displays a vibrant orange along a portion of the rim. Semi-prooflike surfaces further enhance exceptional eye-appeal. PCGS 66 $750.00    1883-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS67 PCGS 67 $3,250.00    1884-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 A vibrant obverse with a blend of rich plum and golden hue lay over a clean gem surfaces. The reverse exhibits a faint pastel patina over crisply struck devices. A beautiful and affordable Carson City example. PCGS 65 N/A    1884-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 A high-quality, exceptionally frosty example displaying virtually brilliant surfaces save for an arc of blue, green, plum and golden toning on the left side of the reverse. PCGS 65 $395.00    1884-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 An interesting and quite beautiful example from the popular Carson City Mint. The obverse is sharply executed with the upper portion draped with a deep patina of green plum and golden olive hues. The reverse is frost laden and devoid of any evidence of the obverse color. A striking gem example. PCGS 65 $545.00    1884-O Morgan S$1 NGC MS67 A beautifully toned New Orleans example. An attractive array of color drapes superb gem surfaces with rich blues that blend westward from behind Liberty to a bright golden patina across the fields in front of her face. Although generic coin in the lower grades, the 84-O becomes elusive in the superb grades. In fact, only two coins are graded finer by both PCGS and NGC, with very few PLs in all grades. NGC 67 $1,575.00    1885 Morgan S$1 PCGS PR66 (CAC) Only 930 pieces were struck, the majority of which have been dipped or have acquired faint hairlines. This exceptionally high grade proof is delightfully toned in iridescent violet, sapphire and vibrant gold through which deeply mirrored fields shine at all angles. A more sensational example of this date would be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $9,500.00    1885-CC Morgan S$1 NGC MS66 PL A exceptionally attractive example with lovely color throughout. The well-mirrored surfaces display an array of color from plum and vibrant blue-greens to rich golds and oranges. Scarce with the Prooflike designation in this grade and higher and certainly more so with this degree of eye appeal. NGC 66 $2,150.00    1885-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS63 DMPL A glittering example with frosted devices offset against deep mirrors. Splashes of gold are scattered through out the obverse and reverse. Exceptionally well preserved and attractive for the grade. Housed in an OGH. PCGS 63 $995.00    1885-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 Beautiful, iridescent obverse color contrasts with a nearly brilliant reverse. Noted prooflike surfaces, although not designated as such by PCGS. A highly appealing example in all regards. PCGS 65 $1,150.00    1885-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 Intensely vivid colors in a myriad of hues enliven the obverse of this dramatically toned example. The reverse, conversely, displays a subtle arc of color along the bottom rim. PCGS 66 $2,000.00    1885-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 A sharply struck Morgan with intense mint luster over superb fields and crisp devices throughout. The obverse is bisected with a pleasing blush of autumn orange. Struck just before the branch mint took a hiatus until 1889. A highly appealing example of this low mintage date. PCGS 66 $1,750.00    1887-S Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 This is an attractive and sharply struck example with delightful lilac and sunset orange color enhancing sharply struck, semi-prooflike surfaces. The technical attributes are exceptional, and the quality is virtually unimprovable. Only 23 examples have been graded higher by PCGS. PCGS 65 $2,500.00    1888-S Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 A dappling of sea-green, burgundy and golden-spice on both the obverse and reverse. There are no distracting marks worth noting. Magnificent for the issue and well-deserving of a place in any fine collection. PCGS 65 $2,450.00    1890 Morgan S$1 NGC PR66 Cameo From the lowest proof mintage by date, the 1890 proof Morgan dollar is inherently rare. This vividly toned original example has rich golden, green and lavender hue encircling a frost laden Liberty with a glimpse gold across the check. The reverse is blanketed in a similar, but more predominantly deep blue, that lightens to a bright rose-gold at the eagles head. A beautiful superb proof Morgan. NGC 66 $8,500.00    1890-O Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 This lovely coin is impressively preserved, displaying intense cartwheel luster and well defined striking details. Alluring multihued toning enhances the entire reverse as well as two-thirds of the obverse periphery. Although 19 have been awarded a finer grade by PCGS, select few can match the beauty of the present example. PCGS 65 $1,795.00    1890-S Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 The obverse and reverse of this San Fransisco date features deep golden orange hues throughout with highlights of iridescent blue green along the rim at the date and 12:00 reverse. A scarcer coin in gem and better grades this example is a beautiful representation from the Morgan series. PCGS 65 $795.00    1890-S Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 Lilac, teal blue and rose shadings grace both obverse and reverse rims of this immensely lustrous San Francisco Morgan, while the centers exhibit a pale champagne hue. A mere six examples have received a finer grade by PCGS. PCGS 66 $2,950.00    1891-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS64 A strikingly attractive example from the Carson City Mint with intense, highly appealing color on both sides. The obverse is draped with a vibrant plum over rich golden hues. The reverse is predominately blue-green with glimpses of the obverse's yellow. PCGS 64 $1,175.00    1892 Morgan S$1 PCGS PR67 Superb, multicolored toning appears on both sides. A absolutely tremendous type coin, and certainly one of the finest survivors from the 1,100 mintage. PCGS has graded just 5 higher within all designations for the date. PCGS 67 $16,750.00    1896 Morgan S$1 PCGS MS66 A band of rich blue and orange tone the peripheries of otherwise pale golden surfaces. Nearly impossible to locate in a higher state of surface preservation, as PCGS has graded a mere 26 examples higher. PCGS 66 N/A    1897 Morgan S$1 PCGS PR67 An eye-popping blend of color awaits whomever is fortunate enough to gaze at this amazingly toned wonder coin. Shades of lilac, plum, indigo, aqua, orange and several others combine to give this special numismatic item undeniable charm. Add to the outstanding eye-appeal this example’s nearly perfect surface preservation and you have an item certain to ignite serious collector passion. Truly a superb coin. PCGS 67 $16,950.00    1898 Morgan S$1 NGC PR65 Cameo A stunning coin with extreme contrast between fields and devices. The device elements are thick with frost, while the mirrors are deep and clear. Brilliant and extremely appealing. NGC 65 $5,750.00    1901 Morgan S$1 PCGS PR66 Cameo Nearly all post-1900 dates with cameo contrast are elusive, and 1901 is no exception. Deep violet toning forms thick rings around the obverse and reverse peripheries while the remaining surfaces contain a luminescent lavender. One of just 7 graded by PCGS, none finer. (There have been no Deep Cameos graded by either service for this date, in any grade.) PCGS 66 $10,950.00    1904 Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 A beautiful gem example featuring white centers framed with a lovely patina featuring vivid blue, green and orange colorations. PCGS has graded a mere 13 coins finer, with nothing grading better than 66 at either of the top services. Certainly among the very best survivors from this scarcer date. PCGS 65 $2,875.00    1924 Peace S$1 NGC MS66 Pristine surfaces are delicately overlaid with a light lavender patina attractively framed with a rich golden crescent along the obverse western periphery. A beautiful, high end example with sharp detail and wonderful eye appeal. NGC 66 $850.00    1925 Peace S$1 NGC MS67 The bright, lustrous surfaces display uncommonly beautiful toning in iridescent shades of rose, sky blue and bright gold on the obverse. In addition, the surfaces are wonderfully well-preserved and particularly lustrous. One of the prettiest examples of the lovely Peace Dollar design that we have encountered. NGC 67 $3,250.00    1925 Peace S$1 PCGS MS67 A truly superb Peace dollar with only the most inconsequential marks and full, unbroken mint luster. Though this date is one of the most common of the Peace dollar series, finding a superb gem can be quite a daunting task. With a PCGS population of only 67 in MS67 and only one graded higher, this coin has clean fields and is free of distractions. Both surfaces sport attractive golden tones that deepen near the rims. PCGS 67 $4,500.00    1925-S Peace S$1 PCGS MS64 Highly lustrous, champagne surfaces with an attractive bit of orange gently toning the peripheries. Ever so close to grading higher, prohibited only by a well- hidden scuff at the base of Liberty's neck. While we try to abstain from using this phrase, "premium quality" simply must be stated here. PCGS 64 $1,150.00    1926 Peace S$1 PCGS MS66 An absolutely striking looking Peace dollar with lots of personality and plenty of pizzazz. Many mint state 1926 dollars survived from a mintage of nearly 2 million pieces, but premium gems are challenging to locate, and higher-grade pieces are virtually unobtainable as not a single coin has been graded MS67 by PCGS and only one by NGC. This example features lovely golden toned satiny smooth surfaces with rainbow peripheries. PCGS 66 N/A    1927 Peace S$1 PCGS MS65 A sharp example still house in the OGH. Outstanding luster accentuates the gem surfaces on this beautiful, champagne hued example. A tougher coin in the high grades with only six coins grading finer by PCGS. PCGS 65 N/A    1927-D Peace S$1 PCGS MS65 A tougher Denver issue with uncirculated gem and better examples exceptionally scarce. This is a sharply struck example with frostly luster and brilliant surfaces which exhibit some subtle golden highlights throughout. PCGS 65 N/A    1927-S Peace S$1 PCGS MS64 The 1927-S is a key issue in the Peace Dollar series. This lovely example has beautiful golden toning on the obverse and iridescent coloring on the reverse with a swathe of deep amber. The strike is unusually crisp for the issue, with complete definition on the eagle's wing and Liberty's hair. PCGS 64 $1,150.00    1928-S Peace S$1 PCGS MS64 Delicate olive and gold clinging to the rim and outer devices give clues to a previous life in an old coin album for this near gem, key date. The cheek and fields of the obverse are nearly flawless with a few contact marks barely visible in the hair and crown. Gem eye appeal for a tenth of the cost. PCGS 64 $875.00    1934 Peace S$1 NGC MS66 Crisp devices and superb fields give this high end Peace dollar fabulous eye appeal. A mostly white example with great hair detail, and a sharp reverse eagle. This date is a tougher coin in the high grades with only eight examples graded finer by both PCGS and NGC combined. NGC 66 $2,750.00    1934-D Peace S$1 NGC MS65 Facing the economic decline of the late 1920's, the U.S. Mint ceased production of the Peace dollar for the five years from 1929 to 1933. In 1934, production returned for a short two year run. A near gem example of this rebirth, this example is nicely struck for the date with a light honey hue with a wonderful crescent of crimson, blue and plum on the right side of the obverse. The reverse has the lightest golden hue cast in a nice even tone. NGC 65 $1,150.00    1934-S Peace S$1 PCGS MS65 Golden-rose surfaces are uncommonly lustrous and devoid of distractions. Well struck for the issue with good detail throughout the design elements. The 1934-S is among the key issues in the Peace Dollar series and locating a Gem with nice original color is especially difficult. PCGS 65 $7,800.00    1935 Peace S$1 PCGS MS65 A well preserved Peace dollar from the series' final year of production. The final decade of the dollar saw lower mintage figures than the previous, and coins from these years are a bit more elusive. The bulk of surviving uncirculated examples are generally lower grades with gems scarce, and anything finer elusive and three times the price. This example has a lovely light patina of sky blue and gold. Sharply detailed with wonderful in hand eye appeal. PCGS 65 $795.00    1935-S Peace S$1 PCGS MS66 This specimen from the final year of issue features Liberty crowned with an autumn-hued rainbow across the upper obverse periphery. Amongst the finest survivors for the issue with just four coins garnering a higher grade by PCGS and NGC combined. PCGS 66 $2,875.00    1840-C Liberty $2.50 PCGS AU58 Variety 1-A. the only known dies. In 1840, Christian Gobrecht’s redesigned the quarter eagle. His Liberty Head obverse remained in use until 1907. The reverse was also slightly changed, placing the mintmark between the olive branch and the denomination. (It previously resided between Liberty and the date on the obverse.) Garrett-Guth (2006) suggest that only "about a dozen Mint State coins are known" for this date with resubmissions being responsible for the artificially high numbers at the grading services. This is a sharply struck coin that has bright, semi-reflective fields. PCGS 58 $6,750.00    1852-C Liberty $2.50 PCGS AU58 The 1852-C was extensively circulated due to the fact that no quarter eagles were produced in 1853. This is another date which comes poorly struck and again this specimen proves the exception. A truly lovely piece that exhibits beautiful color, a sharp strike, and only a trivial amount of wear. Only 7 have been so graded by PCGS, with a mere 2 finer. PCGS 58 $7,250.00    1903 Liberty $2.50 PCGS MS66 A beautiful superb example with creamy luster throughout. Spot free with a light orange patina eminating from the central devices on both obverse and reverse. A nice original quarter eagle type example. PCGS 66 $2,650.00    1907 Liberty $2.50 PCGS MS66 A pleasing superb quarter eagle with nice creamy luster and clean fields and devices. A nice golden coloration with one small copper spot at 9:00 in the dentils. A great type example from one of numismatics most prolific years. PCGS 66 $2,650.00    1908 Liberty $5 PCGS MS67 Struck in the last year of issue, this superb gem Liberty Half Eagle is a beautiful specimen. Spot free with wonderful deep golden color highlighted with a wisp of olive green evident along the obverse rim. Extremely elusive in this grade and date with a mere 7 coins so graded by PCGS and no coins grading finer. PCGS 67 $22,500.00    1915 Indian $10 PCGS MS65 A truly evocative Saint Gauden's eagle. The 1915 eagle has a relatively high surviving rate right up to the Gem level. However, gems are unusually difficult to locate, and there are only 6 premium gems appearing on the PCGS population report. Bright mint frost enhances sharply struck surfaces. Vivid golden-orange color rounds out this lovely coin’s attributes. PCGS 65 $9,600.00    1913-D Saint-Gaudens $20 PCGS MS65 A lower mintage date, the 1913-D is not easy to locate in gem and better grades. A mere five coins have been graded MS66 by PCGS. This example has no spots and highly lustrous fields generating unusually pleasing eye-appeal. PCGS 65 $6,600.00    1914-D Saint-Gaudens $20 PCGS MS65 A lower mintage Denver date with attractive orange peel luster. A spot free gem example with solid eye appeal. At these levels, this represents an excellent value for the gold bug. PCGS 65 $3,100.00    1927 Saint-Gaudens $20 PCGS MS65 Not a Pinnacle Rarity, but if you are like us and dislike 99% of generic MS65 Saints, this one has both eye-appeal and technical attributes that few MS65s can match. PCGS 65 $2,250.00    ALABAMA 1921 2 X 2 Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS66 (WPE) The original 2X2 Alabama mintage of 6,006 coins were intended and distributed during a Presidential visit. This example is well preserved with great detail in the eagle's talon and exceptionally clean and virtually mark free throughout. Light golden hues are accentuated by a slight plum across the high points on the obverse. Only five coins have been graded finer by PCGS.
