1831 First Restrike Classic 1/2C PCGS PR66BN (CAC)
B-2. R-7. Both obverse and reverse surfaces display a winning combination of chestnut brown and magenta with splashes of mint red. A bisecting crack extends from T (UNITED) across the center of the coin, exiting at F (OF). As lovely as can be and exceedingly rare, with an estimated mintage of 25 coins.
Misattributed as "Reverse of 1840" on the PCGS label.
CAC certified.

1793 VINE AND BARS Wreath 1C PCGS MS64BN
Large cents and half cents were the first coins struck under the authority of the United States Government by the newly established Mint in Philadelphia. Each of the dies was hand engraved, a process that ultimately proved too tedious and resulted in the simplified Liberty Cap design later that same year. The labor intensive process, however, provided some intricate and lovely design elements rarely encountered on our country’s coinage. The present example is clearly from an early die state, free of clash marks or die cracks, and presents outstanding eye-appeal. The medium brown surfaces are bright and glossy, with semi-reflective fields creating a medal-like appearance. The striking details are particularly sharp with prominent definition on the hair curls of Liberty. This coin has been carefully cherished for more than two centuries, and hopefully will be so for many more. A breathtaking treasure from the infancy of our great nation.

1834 Capped Bust H10C PCGS MS66
This delightful Capped Bust half dime displays intermingled champagne and amber hues on wonderfully preserved surfaces. The fields reflect a semi-prooflike nature and each design element of the devices is exceptionally well defined. Highly appealing in all respects.

1859 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS MS66
A lower mintage date produced with the updated design which straightened the shield, widened the arms and added the drapery off the right elbow. Sensational rainbow color tones the obverse as well as a crescent of the eastern reverse rim. Design elements are boldly impressed throughout and the coin is delightful in every possible way.

1916-D MERCURY 10C PCGS MS64FB (CAC)
Light golden and plum patina over clean, impeccably struck surfaces lend this Classic date amazing eye-appeal. One of America's most popular rarities, the 1916-D dime is a numismatic star often mentioned in movies, books and other media as the epitome of rare coins. Struck in the first year of production, the Denver mint produced a mere 264,000 coins, the lowest mintage by far for the series. This example represents a fabulous numismatic value trading 20% off its recent market highs, and less than half the price of the next grade up.

1859 Seated Liberty 25C NGC PR67*
Although Mint records indicate that 800 proofs were struck in this year, an unknown number were melted at year's end as unsold, leaving this issue with a relatively high official mintage but low availability in all grades. PCGS and NGC have only graded 252 total coins, with only 7 receiving a 67 grade. This example mingles spring-green, wisteria, cornflower-blue and seashell pink around the honey colored centers for a stunning visual display. Well deserving of the star designation.

1876 Seated Liberty 25C PCGS PR65
A dazzler of a proof Seated Liberty quarter - bright green, orange and yellow hues predominate on the obverse, which boasts a trace of rose at the periphery. The reverse is a luscious blend of rose and green. Although it exhibits cameo contrast, it is not so designated on the holder. A mere 3 with 3 higher have been graded with a cameo designation for the date.

1807 DRAPED BUST 50C PCGS MS65
O-110. This is a coin that commands your attention: an utterly magnificent specimen possessing both amazing eye appeal and impreccable technical attributes. Visually arresting tones of violet and sapphire enhance intensely lustrous surfaces. The strike is outstanding, displaying sharp detail in the often weak part of Liberty's hair and perfectly formed breast feathers on the eagle. Each and every star shows its center; an extremely elusive quality in Draped Bust halves. Draped Bust halves in gem do not surface often, and even the famed Jung and Koshkarian type collections possessed lower graded examples. Without a doubt, this is the nicest Draped Bust half we’ve ever had the pleasure of handling.

1839 NO DRAPERY Seated Liberty 50C PCGS MS64
The unencumbered appearance of Christian Gobrecht’s original Seated Liberty design proved to be just as fleeting as the lull in the Hard Times during which they made their debut. The seated Ms. Liberty and perched eagle witnessed seemingly continuous tinkering by the Mint's staff. Enlarged lettering, arrows about the date, rays, and an ill placed scroll over the eagle's head would all take their turn at eroding the beauty and simplicity of this initial design. Well preserved survivors of the 1839 No Drapery issue are valued by numismatists both as examples of a brief, half-year type and as representatives of Gobrecht's original half dollar motif. High-grade mint state specimens, such as this, are exceptionally rare and almost never come to market. Save for limited flatness on the 4th and 5th stars, every feature of this near-gem is boldly delineated. Both obverse and reverse surfaces exhibit an impressive satiny luster topped by a vibrant golden hue. A sensational example of an important numismatic type which is certain to bring delight to any advanced specialist.

1855 ARROWS Seated Liberty 50C NGC PR66 Cameo
Normal Date. The finest known example from an estimated mintage of 12-20 pieces, beating out the Kaufman coin by garnering the coveted "Cameo" designation. It also wins finest honors for the two year (1854-55) proof Arrows type. Breathtakingly beautiful, with crimson, amber and teal highlights throughout. A magnificent numismatic treasure by all accounts.

1873 ARROWS Seated Liberty 50C PCGS MS65
The "Crime of '73" legislated the two cent piece, trime, and silver half dime out of existence, omitted the Seated Liberty silver dollar from the list of authorized coins, introduced the Trade dollar, and increased the weight of minor silver coinage. The half dollar's weight increased from 12.44 gm to 12.50 gm of .900 fine silver. The present coin is an exquisitely preserved example of the two-year Arrows type. Its surfaces exhibit a gorgeous combination of sea-green, sapphire, pale gold, and rose. The strike is quite sharp, and the lustrous surfaces are devoid of all but the most trivial of contact marks.

1876-S Seated Liberty 50C PCGS MS63
Type One Reverse, with an open bud above the H in HALF. Essentially untoned with an especially bold strike and semi-prooflike surfaces. In addition, the luster is bountiful, and the surfaces unusually faultless for a coin of this grade.

1938 Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67
The 1938-P is toughest Philadelphia half from the 1930's. The Mint, feeling the crunch of a slowed economy, cut mintages in half and produced no coins in the San Francisco Mint. The mint also used new hubs this year. As a result, the 1938-P is a favorite for the date set collectors and type collectors alike, as many specimens are sharply struck. Bold cartwheel luster coruscates atop perfectly struck, original surfaces.

1871 Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS PR65
Sporting a PCGS population of only 19 coins with a scant three coins higher is numerical proof of this Seated Dollar's rarity. This example has an appealing silver patina atop light cameo devices with iridescent blues peeking through. A sensational proof example of Christian Gobrecht's classic design.

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.
