Hide Coin Descriptions Description Service Grade Price    1866 Indian 1C NGC MS66RB (CAC) Frosty mint orange with pale gold and deeper orange highlighting the reverse. Sharp and appealing with exceptional luster and a faint wood grain pattern throughout. This example has predominantly red color, particularly on the obverse, but selling at a quarter of the price of a full Red. CAC certified. NGC 66 $2,450.00    1883 Indian 1C PCGS MS66RD Rich in color, this is an excellent type example of one of the more popular series in numismatics. A superb, deep red specimen that is virtually mark free and as pristine as the day it left the mint well over a century ago. PCGS 66 $3,250.00    1885 Indian 1C PCGS MS66RD An exceptionally elusive issue to acquire in this splendid state of preservation. Vibrant, bountiful luster combines with attractive color and distraction-free surfaces. Rounding out this beauty's attributes is the bold delineation of the design, including clarity in the four diamonds and on most of the feather tips. Housed in a first-generation "rattler" style holder, this isthe nicest example of this date we've ever encountered, bar none. PCGS 66 N/A    1916 Lincoln 1C PCGS MS67RD (CAC) Certainly one of the finest examples of this issue in existence, with gorgeous orange-golden color and strong cartwheel luster. An impeccable strike and surfaces completely devoid of carbon round out the appeal. None have been certified higher at either PCGS or NGC. CAC certified. PCGS 67 $4,350.00    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    1873 CLOSED 3 Three Cent Nickel PCGS PR66 (CAC) Toned in a stunning iridescent lilac with golden rims. The surfaces have amazing reflection. As the specialist well knows, this is one of the hardest dates in this series to find in PR66 and PCGS has only ten awarded this grade with none finer. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $1,850.00    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 Nickels 3CN PCGS PR67 A pleasing light cameo example of this tougher proof only date. The obverse is full cameo with brilliant frost on all devices. The reverse is sharp and problem free with a hint of cameo appearance. The PCGS Population shows 14 with one higher. With only a handful of similar quality cameos graded, this specimen is among the finer examples for the date. PCGS 67 $2,650.00    1878 Three Cent Nickels 3CN 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 $4,500.00    1863 Type 3 3CS PCGS PR66 (CAC) From a small mintage of 460 comes this gorgeous jewel. Both obverse and reverse are toned in concentric circles of aqua-marine, violet and tangerine. The wonderful contrast, color and technical merits create a definite sight to behold. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $3,150.00    1864 Type 3 3CS PCGS MS68 We simply cannot recall ever handling a more enchanting Three Cent Silver. The obverse is delightfully toned in an intense sapphire and turquoise-blue combination surrounding a hint of lavender in the center. The reverse has bright golden color bordered with the exact same blues that appear on the obverse. Underneath the fabulous color are impeccable surfaces that display razor-sharp striking characteristics and a semi-prooflike finish. Ideal for any aficionados of the series or for inclusion in a world-class type set. PCGS 68 N/A    1873 Type 3 3CS NGC PR66 Gorgeously toned with pink and orange centers blending into blue and green toward the borders. Light cameo contrast adds to the eye appeal of this little jewel. NGC 66 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 $1,195.00    1892 Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 (CAC) A mostly white example with a wisp of golden patina gracing the reverse central devices. A tough grade with good luster and bold striking evidenced by strong detail in the reverse design elements. Scarce with only thirteen coins so graded by PCGS and no coins finer by either top grading service. A very pleasing example. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $3,950.00    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    1909 Liberty 5C PCGS MS66 (CAC) The 1909 is the lowest Liberty nickel mintage after 1896 and was heavily circulated, creating elusiveness in all grades. A boldly struck example featuring a hint of blue and gold on both obverse and reverse surfaces. Tied for finest known, this is one of only 22 coins so graded by PCGS. No coins have graded higher by either major service. CAC certified. PCGS 66 $2,950.00    1849/8 Seated Liberty H10C PCGS MS64 Sensationally clean and lustrous surfaces for the grade. A wonderful original coin with subtle cobalt blue peripheries. A great overdate Half dime. PCGS 64 $1,975.00    1853 ARROWS Seated Liberty H10C NGC MS66 Sparkling luster emanates from the exceptionally well preserved surfaces of this scarce and desirable three year type coin. The strike is full and the overall appeal is grand. NGC 66 $2,350.00    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    1871-S Seated Liberty H10C PCGS MS66 Crisply struck throughout all the design elements, this is a beautiful representative of a condition rarity. The surfaces are intensely lustrous, with a hint of champagne color attesting to its originality. An interesting, but little known fact is that the reverse die is the same as that used for the unique, seven-figure 1870-S. From a low mintage of 161,000. PCGS 66 $5,450.00    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    1859 Seated Liberty 10C PCGS PR66 An impressively preserved example hailing from a proof mintage of a mere 800 coins. The lovely, fully struck surfaces are awash in an appealing mix of electric-blue, lilac and gold. PCGS 66 $5,250.00    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    1891 Seated Liberty 10C NGC MS66 Struck in the last year for the series, this Seated Dime is boldly struck with bright electric blue and crimson enhancing a golden obverse center and the entire reverse. A gorgeous, clean and sharp illustration of Christian Gobrecht's design. NGC 66 $1,575.00    1893 Barber 10C NGC PR66 Cameo Fully brilliant surfaces with fully frosted devices lend terrific eye-appeal to this early proof Barber. The depths of the mirrors are endless. Type demand was satisfied by the 1892 production, leading proof mintages to drop significantly in 1893. A scant 792 proofs were struck. Certainly among the most appealing survivors. NGC 66 $1,995.00    1896 Barber 10C PCGS PR64 Deep Cameo A stunning, untoned jewel with dramatically frosted devices seemingly floating above the contrasting deep mirror fields. One of only 3 so graded with 6 higher. PCGS 64 $1,675.00    1900-O Barber 10C PCGS MS66 A superb example of a lower mintage issue as well as a condition rarity with a PCGS pop of only five coins with no coins grading finer. Adorned in a light multihued patina and exhibiting excellent luster and New Orleans Mint striking characteristics. A perfect candidate for a world-class Barber dime collection. PCGS 66 $7,500.00    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    1913 Barber 10C PCGS MS65 (CAC) A wonderful gem Barber dime. Light peach-golden hues accent smooth surfaces. CAC certified. PCGS 65 $595.00    1916-D MERCURY 10C PCGS MS66FB This is an immaculately preserved example of the most popular date in the Mercury Dime series, and absolutely one of the nicest examples we’ve ever seen of the issue. Amber coloring is highlighted by sea-green and cobalt blue highlights as intense luster shines beneath. PCGS has graded eighteen in MS66FB and six better, numbers unquestionably inflated by multiple resubmissions. Classic rarities such as this have been proven to retain and appreciate in value perhaps more so than any other numismatic market segment. The present specimen should perfectly satisfy someone’s Key date quest. PCGS 66 $67,500.00    1878 Twenty Cent Pieces 20C PCGS PR66 The final-year Twenty Cent Piece, a mere 600 pieces were produced. It is perhaps the most difficult of the proof dates to acquire in this short-lived series. The level of preservation on this example is exceptional. Both surfaces are richly and originally toned in aquamarine and vivid, sunset orange. Certainly among the finest survivors of this elusive, proof-only issue. PCGS 66 $19,500.00    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 $8,950.00    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. PCGS 66 $39,500.00    1867 Seated Liberty 25C PCGS PR66 Cameo A superb cameo example with spectacular peripheral toning enhancing nearly brilliant centers. One of a mere 625 Proofs produced and a very low population issue in the higher Proof grades, particularly with Cameo designation. PCGS has just graded three coins at this level with none finer. PCGS 66 $5,950.00    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    1889 Seated Liberty 25C PCGS PR66 An absolute Cameo, albeit housed in a green-tag holder prior to the era when PCGS distinguished as such. Brilliant, frosty devices contrast delightfully with clear, reflective fields. A hint of pale yellow washes across the central design of the obverse. PCGS 66 $3,750.00    1892-O Barber 25C PCGS MS66 PCGS 66 N/A    1893-S Barber 25C PCGS MS64 Breen-4135. Mintmark Far Right. 1893-S quarters are difficult to locate in all grades and rare at the near-Gem level. Not many MS64 Barber issues catch our eye, but this one certainly does. Scintillating semi-prooflike fields are enhanced by a gentle rosy-champagne hue. A mere dozen have been graded finer by PCGS and gems exceed $5,000. You can't beat this quality/price combination. PCGS 64 $2,150.00    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 N/A    1908 Barber 25C PCGS PR66 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. PCGS 66 $3,250.00    1909-D Barber 25C PCGS MS66 It is surprising that among the more than 5 million pieces produced, few examples of this Denver issue survived in gem and higher conditions. This noteworthy exception appears to have been stored in a paper envelope for decades, as the surfaces are adorned with a highly appealing array of vibrant hues. In addition, the strike has been perfectly executed on all design elements. Exceptional in all regards. PCGS 66 $2,875.00    1913 Barber 25C PCGS MS65 PCGS 65 N/A    1913-D Barber 25C NGC MS66 NGC 66 N/A    1917-S TYPE 2 Standing Liberty 25C PCGS MS66FH The 17-S Type II is typically softly struck and of poor quality. Thus gem and better full head examples are exceedingly tough. This example has sharp detail in all design elements including the skirt and shield. It exhibits swirling luster under a light patina that darkens slightly on the obverse high points. A beautiful quarter in scarce superb gem condition. PCGS 66 $8,950.00    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    1941-S Washington 25C NGC MS67 (CAC) NGC 67 N/A    1942 Washington 25C PCGS PR68 An immaculate example of this series' final issue until proof coinage production resumed in 1950. Both sides possess clean, glassy mirrors and faultless surfaces. The toning is magnificent, with bold rainbow halos surrounding brilliant centers on both obverse and reverse. PCGS has certified a mere 14 PR68 Washington Quarters from the 1936 to 1942 period, and, of course, none higher. This is one of a mere 6 so graded for the date. PCGS 68 $5,250.00    1950-D/S Washington 25C PCGS MS64 (CAC) A wonderful specimen with a clear look at the 'S' under a doubled 'D'. Serifs from the underlying mintmark are evident to the west and north of the 'D'. An attractive, fully brilliant specimen that superior to the vast majority at this grade level. CAC certified. PCGS 64 $995.00    1950-S Washington 25C PCGS MS67 (CAC) Likely album kept, this superb Washington quarter is awash in shades of luminous gold and pale blue. The edges exhibit a more vibrant gold and reddish ring with hints of iridescent green. A beautiful, high end example with no coins ever deemed finer by PCGS. PCGS 67 $1,975.00    1837 REEDED EDGE Capped Bust 50C PCGS MS66 A two-year type with the first year,1836, being exceptionally elusive in high grade. Reeded Edge half dollars were the first regular-issue U.S. series struck on a steam press. This piece obviously benefited from that technology as all design details are well defined. Both sides exhibit delicate champagne-apricot peripheral highlights and pleasing olive-lavender toned centers. One of only 6 so graded for both the year and type with a mere 2 finer. PCGS 66 N/A    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    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. PCGS 63 $950.00    1890 Seated Liberty 50C PCGS PR67 Deep Cameo The 1890, total production of just 590 pieces is the lowest such figure since 1877, though the 1890 is valued much the same as its more available counterparts. This untoned specimen offers spectacularly brilliant surfaces with phenomenal contrast against the snowy devices. This coin is essentially pristine and extremely well executed. A wonderful specimen and the lone example to receive this lofty grade. PCGS 67 $36,500.00    1893 Barber 50C NGC PR65 Cameo In the second year of the Barber coinage, the Philadelphia Mint nearly doubled the production of circulating coinage, but reduced the number of proofs by nearly half to a paltry 792. Clear, reflective fields contrast beautifully with richly frosted devices. A high-end gem which is as delightful to behold as it must have been back at the turn of the last century. This is no ordinary PR65 Barber Half. NGC 65 $3,950.00    1899 Barber 50C NGC PR64 Cameo Clear, deep mirrors present a lovely backdrop for the nicely frosted devices. The obverse is essentially color-free and the reverse displays a light champagne hue. A fine looking coin! Original mintage of 846. NGC 64 $1,995.00    1917 Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS65 (CAC) Sharply struck, this satiny early date is pleasantly toned throughout with a subtle coral hue. An excellent, high-end gem example of the second date in this highly popular series and one of our all-time favorite numismatic designs. CAC certified. PCGS 65 $995.00    1936 Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67 A superb specimen with sharp central details and creamy undisturbed luster. A faint iridescent patina washes over virtually flawless surfaces. To date, only two coins have been deemed finer by PCGS. PCGS 67 $1,150.00    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 $3,150.00    1939 Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67 A beautiful Walker example with both sides exhibiting iridescent blue-greens surrounding a light golden patina through the centers. A crisp example with great luster, sharp central details and amazing eye appeal. PCGS 67 N/A    1941-S Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS66 (CAC) A blast white example of the Key to the short-set. The present example has dazzling, brilliant surfaces and as strong a strike as you are likely to encounter for the issue. The surfaces are devoid of any but the most trivial of marks, making it a standout for the grade. CAC certified. PCGS 66 N/A    1945-D Walking Liberty 50C NGC MS67 (CAC) A pleasing superb example with clean fields and crisp device detail. Short set dates in MS67 are excellent numismatic values at these levels. The wonderful quality of this example showcases the Denver Mint's stricter standards for coins produced in 1945 than in previous years. Only two coins have been deemed finer by both top grading services combined. CAC certified. NGC 67 $895.00    1945-D Walking Liberty 50C PCGS MS67 Fresh, brilliant luster and bold striking detail lend this later Denver Walker superb eye appeal. An excellent numismatic value in today's market. Likely as nice a '45-D as you'll ever find, as PCGS hasn't graded a single example finer. PCGS 67 $1,095.00    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 200,000 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 $8,950.00    1857 Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS MS62 PCGS 62 N/A    1859 Seated Liberty S$1 NGC PR67 Cameo Although 800 examples were produced by the mint in 1859, it is unlikely that more than 450 of those coins were actually distributed by year's end. Those that failed to find buyers were destroyed by the Mint. The present example is certainly among the very finest survivors. Obverse and reverse exhibit a delicate golden iridescence as well as ample cameo contrast between the fully mirrored fields and generously frosted devices. One of a mere 3 so graded at PCGS and NGC combined, with not a single specimen grading finer. NGC 67 $35,000.00    1860-O Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS MS64 (CAC) This satiny, near gem displays partially reflective surfaces refreshingly devoid of the bagmarks usually attributed to this issue. It has the appearance of having been faithfully preserved for decades in a single coin cabinet. Lovely sea-green and rose create a harmonious patina on the semi-prooflike surfaces. An impressive example of the final New Orleans Mint issue of the type. CAC certified. PCGS 64 $7,800.00    1860-O Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS MS65 Following the production of an illustrious series of Liberty Seated (Gobrecht) pattern dollars in 1836, 1838 and 1839, the Liberty Seated style was first produced in 1840. Of all the post-Bust silver types, Seated Dollars are the most difficult to find in the higher Uncirculated grades. They are large and have an open design giving flaws no place to hide. They were shipped in bags causing coins to clash against each other and acquire numerous abrasions in the fields. This example is among the top three No Motto business strikes we’ve ever owned. The luster is amazingly bold with a very frosty and slightly reflective texture. An appealing combination of honey-gold and teal-blue tones both obverse and reverse. This is a type that nearly every serious collector lacks in high grades. An exciting opportunity to acquire this very difficult issue in the ultimate grade. PCGS 65 $56,500.00    1865 Seated Liberty S$1 PCGS PR64 Deep Cameo On April 2, 1865, the Confederacy evacuated Richmond after Petersburg fell to Union forces. Less than a week later, Lee surrendered to Grant near the Appomattox Court House. In that same year, the Philadelphia Mint produced a mere 500 proof silver dollars, although far fewer are available to collectors today. Of those, PCGS has designated only three coins Deep Cameo (one PR62, this coin and one PR66). Bright silver surfaces display a faint whisper of golden toning. The fields exhibit illimitable reflectivity contrasting dramatically with heavily frosted devices. PCGS 64 $16,950.00    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 NGC MS64 Type 1/2. A relatively small population out of the modest mintage of 218,200 coins has been spared from melting or impairment (cleaning, chopmarks, etc.), and a few dozen mint state pieces apparently survived, Primarily a product of the western branch mint in San Francisco, it is little wonder so few Trade Dollars were produced at the Philadelphia Mint in 1875. Curiously, this date commands almost no premium over much more plentiful dates within the series. Mostly untoned surfaces are devoid of all but the most trivial of marks. ex. Richmond Collection NGC 64 $4,500.00    1875-S TRADE T$1 PCGS MS64 The Trade Dollar was created to compete with the Mexican peso and other bullion coins in the Asian markets. It was heavier than a regular Silver Dollar (420 grains vs. 412.5), allowing it to be easily accepted where regular U.S. silver dollars were not, and providing American merchants with a previously unknown competitive advantage. In their initial years of production, Trade Dollars were legal tender up to $5. In 1876, however, silver prices dropped precipitously, and the American government revoked their status. This understandably caused much confusion and ill will amongst those who had received payment in Trade Dollars. As a result, business strike production was halted in 1878, although Proofs were continued for several more years. The present specimen is unusually appealing, with near gem-quality surfaces featuring subtle golden color. PCGS 64 $3,450.00    1884-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS65 A high-quality, exceptionally frosty example displaying virtually brilliant surfaces save for a hint of gold through the central portion of the reverse. Housed in a green tag PCGS holder. PCGS 65 $450.00    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 This issue boasts the lowest mintage of all the Carson City Morgan dollars, and the third lowest for the entire series. However, most of the mintage remained in the treasury in sealed bags. The Carson City Mint closed in 1885 and the majority of coins that were produced in January and February were never placed into circulation. While a hearty amount are known in gem condition, most examples grade out MS64 or less, with the populations dropping dramatically in the grades higher than MS65. This is a pleasing mostly white example still housed in the old PCGS "rattler" and has a touch of golden patina on the obverse rims. A very pleasing example from this storied Nevada mint. PCGS 65 $1,150.00    1889-CC Morgan S$1 NGC MS62 A wonderful uncirculated example with a precise strike and abundant luster. The obverse exhibits some minor bag marks, consistent with the grade and typical for the date. The reverse is remarkably clean and slightly prooflike. A great, eye-appealing example of this rare Carson City issue. NGC 62 $23,950.00    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    1892-CC Morgan S$1 PCGS MS64 Bright untoned centers with lovely golden coloration near the rims. A beautiful example of this highly sought after Carson City date that nearly triples in price in the next higher grade. PCGS 64 $2,395.00    1900-O O/CC Morgan S$1 NGC MS65 One of the most interesting and widely collected varieties in the entire Morgan series with the undermintmark clear visible below light magnification. Untoned centers are highlighted by wonderful golden-amber rims. NGC 65 $1,375.00    1922-D Peace S$1 PCGS MS65 With excellent cartwheel luster atop high-end gem surfaces, this slightly better Denver date is a perfect type representative. PCGS 65 $595.00    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. Nice golden tones that deepen near the rims. PCGS 67 $4,500.00    1927-S Peace S$1 PCGS MS64 PCGS 64 N/A    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 $7,500.00    1843-C SMALL DATE Liberty $2.50 NGC AU58 Variety 4-C, the only known variety. The 1843-C Small Date has the distinction of having the lowest mintage figure of any Charlotte quarter eagle. It is the rarest date in the series overall and it is a very hard issue to find in higher grades. We are aware of four to six Uncirculated coins, with the best of these a pair of MS62s. The present coin has 100% original green-gold and orange hues on the obverse and reverse. The Die State is typical for the issue with the left obverse field noticeably swollen and a crack plainly evident from the tip of the bust down to the rim. What makes this coin special is its exquisite originality. NGC 58 $9,750.00    1844-C Liberty $2.50 NGC MS61 Variety 6-E, the only variety known to exist. This issue is almost exclusively found in lower grades because the already small mintage of 11,622 saw heavy circulation for a couple different reasons. Public confidence in Bechtler gold coins decreased at the time and a July 28, 1844 fire in the Charlotte Mint halted production until 1846. These factors combined to make the 1844-C a classic rarity in all Uncirculated grades. The present coin displays bright brass-gold surfaces that retain considerable luster. NGC 61 $13,250.00    1846-C Liberty $2.50 PCGS AU55 Variety 7-F, the only known variety. A fire in July of 1844 closed the Charlotte Mint until 1846. It is also presumably responsible for the die rust seen on all surviving coins of this date and mintmark. After the fire in July 1844, the dies lay around unused and rust accumulated on their surfaces. Production was limited to 4,808 coins, making the 1846-C is rare in all grades. All design elements are well executed, notably the central star detail, Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s leg feathers. In addition the color and mint luster are exceptional for the grade, providing this specimen with superior eye-appeal. PCGS 55 $7,950.00    1848-C Liberty $2.50 NGC AU58 Variety 9-F. There are few survivors of the 16,788 pieces that were minted in 1848 at the Charlotte Mint. PCGS has graded 113 coins total and NGC only 150. Only 19 of these coins are in Mint State. This AU58 example boasts bright yellow-gold surfaces and displays a great amount of luster. NGC 58 $4,600.00    1850-C Liberty $2.50 NGC AU55 Variety 12-H. Bright yellow-gold example with a somewhat inconsistent strike, as is expected of the issue and slightly reflective luster. The '50-C Quarter Eagle is only a median rarity among C-mints despite its limited mintage, but is legitimately scarce in grades approaching Mint State. NGC 55 $3,450.00    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 $7,950.00    1854-C Liberty $2.50 PCGS AU58 Variety 15-I, the only known variety. Very well struck and quite lustrous with medium natural orange-gold color. Only 7,295 were produced and properly graded AU55 and finer pieces are quite rare. This is a great looking example of this tough date. PCGS 58 $6,350.00    1862 Liberty $2.50 PCGS AU50 Early quarter from the Civil War era are scarce in all grades. This quarter eagle is no exception. Exceedingly tough in the uncirculated grades this AU example exhibits great detail, problem free surfaces with strong luster in and around the stars. A great coin for the gold collector and a key find for the quarter eagle date aficionado. PCGS 50 $1,695.00    1855 Three Dollar Gold $3 PCGS MS64 Knocking on the door of condition census, this enticingly well preserved near-Gem is original and exceptionally attractive. Both sides display vibrant medium-gold color with intermingled green-gold undertones. The satiny surfaces exhibit swirling luster encircling a clean and frosty Princess. With only a handful grading higher, this is an unusual opportunity to acquire a fabulous example of this underrated condition rarity. PCGS 64 $14,950.00    1905 Liberty $5 PCGS MS66 Despite a mintage of 302,308 pieces, the 1905 is scarce in the better grades of Mint State. This is a lovely example that exhibits orange-golden mint luster with no singularly reportable abrasions. To round out this special example, an exceptional strike imparts uniformly strong definition to each of the design elements. PCGS 66 $6,950.00    1911 Indian $5 PCGS PR67 Between 1908 and 1915 the Mint in Philadelphia began experimenting with different types of finishes for proof coins of the various denominations, including cents and nickels. The Indian half eagles, along with quarter eagles, eagles, and double eagles of the same period, were struck in a matte or sandblast finish. The surfaces have a grainy appearance with thousands of tiny gold facets visible under magnification. Tied for finest graded by PCGS with only 4 other coins, this example is flawless. A rare opportunity to buy a perfect representation of this elusive issue. PCGS 67 $79,500.00    1799 SMALL STARS OBVERSE Draped Bust $10 PCGS MS61 (CAC) Irregular Date, Breen-6840, Taraszka-20, BD-8, R.5. The Irregular Date obverse die is identified by the 17 in the date tilted far right, especially the 7, which is also higher than the 1. On the reverse, the star point of S12 touches the scroll as well as the upper beak with the eagle appearing to bite the tip. The Irregular Date obverse was combined with two different reverse dies. This T-20, BD-8 variety is especially rare with a mere 45 or 50 examples known in all grades. The reverse has a heavy die crack through MER and a heavy break inside the C--typical of all known specimens of this variety. The surfaces of the present piece are fully lustrous with traces of green over the light yellow surfaces. Both sides display excellent surface preservation with only a few scattered marks. Early eagles are some of the most prized acquisitions in all of numismatics as there is a certain thrill in simply viewing such an impressive masterpiece. CAC certified. PCGS 61 $39,500.00    1910-D Saint-Gaudens $20 PCGS MS65 The 1910-D is is relatively scarce in properly graded MS65 and quite rare in MS66. This is a beautiful example for the grade with vibrant color and exceptionally robust luster. PCGS 65 $3,100.00    1911-D Saint-Gaudens $20 PCGS MS65 PCGS 65 $2,850.00    1911-D/D Saint-Gaudens $20 PCGS MS64 An interesting variety of this popular Denver issue with clear definition of the repunched mint mark--60% of the under-D shows to the right of the final punch. A highly pleasing example without carbon spotting or major distractions. RPM FS-501. PCGS 64 $2,450.00    ALABAMA 1921 Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS66 A beautiful example of this numismatically significant commemorative. The coin was issued in commemoration of Alabama's centennial, with William Wyatt Bibb being the first governor, and T.E. Kilby the governor at the time. The depiction of Kilby raises some controversy as no living individual was supposed to be used in coinage. This specimen has a lovely wash of gold with a halo of amber over Kirby and Bibb's heads. PCGS 66 $2,950.00    ARKANSAS 1936-D Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS66 A very special Arkansas with clean surfaces and dramatic obverse rainbow peripheral toning in rose, green, and cinnamon hues. The centers are untoned, and the reverse displays the same colors in a lighter hue. PCGS 66 $575.00    ARKANSAS 1936-S Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 A technically and visually splendid example. Both obverse and reverse exhibit iridescent violet and pink centers joined by rich golden-orange coloration along the rims. PCGS has only graded 9 at this level and nothing at all finer. PCGS 67 $3,600.00    BOONE 1938-D Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 (CAC) A pristine and satiny coin with rich golden and orange blushes about the peripheries of both sides. This final year of issue Boone has among the lowest original mintage figures in the series, just 2,100 pieces. CAC certified. PCGS 67 $1,250.00    CALIFORNIA Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 Wonderful superb example with mostly white centers framed with a bold russet and golden hue and glimpses of blue and green patina near the rims.

This virtually mark-free example resides at the top of the pop reports, with PCGS certifying a mere 3 coins finer. PCGS 67 $1,075.00    GRANT 1922 Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS65 A lustrous example with pale yellow hue with powder blue highlights near the peripheries. This is among the most popular of all silver commemoratives, and despite its relatively high mintage is not seen as frequently as one might think. PCGS 65 $695.00    HUDSON Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS66 This wonderful example displays a pleasing original look with light golden hues that deepen slightly at the rims. A tougher coin for the series, and decidedly rare in the superb grades. PCGS 66 $2,595.00    ISABELLA 1893 Silver Commemorative 25C PCGS MS64 The Isabella Quarter was issued in conjunction with the Columbian Exposition. This coin was the original” commemorative quarter. The souvenirs were sold exclusively by the Board of Lady Managers at the Columbian Expo in the building dedicated to women’s contributions to American culture. The obverse depicts a young Queen Isabella of Spain, who along with King Ferdinand financed Columbus’ expeditions. This obverse design was the first U.S. coin to depict a foreign monarch. A mixture of spring-green, blue-lapis, pink-rose and sunflower mingle in a stunningly random pattern. PCGS 64 $950.00    LAFAYETTE 1900 Silver Commemorative $1 PCGS MS65 Altlhough we frequently encounter MS65 graded Lafayettes, we find problems with 9 out of 10. This one, however, was love at first sight. It displays gorgeous color above faultless surfaces. Obverse and reverse exhibit shades of gold, olive green, crimson and teal. A top-notch Lafayette Dollar in every single respect. PCGS 65 $11,750.00    LONG ISLAND Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS66 This delightful example displays richly toned honey and rose peripheries, highlighted by bright, spring green accents. The centers contrast beautifully with the rims, being fully brilliant. Housed in an old, green tag holder. PCGS 66 $850.00    MAINE 1920 Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 One of only sixteen to have received this grade from PCGS and as such, one of the ten rarest silver commemorative types in this condition. The lustrous and immaculately preserved surfaces feature a pale,-golden hue. Besides the faintest of coloration, this superb specimen certainly appears much as it must have off the mint presses in 1920. Not a single coin has been graded higher. PCGS 67 $6,250.00    MARYLAND 1934 Silver Commemorative 50C NGC MS67 Designed by Hans Schuler, the obverse displays a bust of Cecil Calvert (known as "Lord Baltimore") who founded the colony. The reverse bears the coat of arms for the state of Maryland. Pale rose glistens through an overall golden hue. One of the best values in the series right now. NGC 67 $795.00    MONROE 1923-S Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS65 John Quincy Adams and James Monroe, both known for their association with the Monroe Doctrine, are portrayed on the obverse. The Western Hemisphere as represented by two female figures is shown on the reverse. Toned in shades of blue, rose, lemon-gold and olive on the obverse periphery. Leaving the center and the reverse a pale golden color. ex. Troy Wiseman PCGS 65 $1,295.00    OREGON 1926-S Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 Lovers of original Oregon half dollars take note - this is an exciting and virtually unimprovable example. Light steel blue and blushes of purple color are present on both sides, colors often identified with this year of issue, only. An appealing appearance and absence of marks put this among the finest available. PCGS has graded 53 at this level and just four higher. CAC certified. PCGS 67 $1,875.00    OREGON 1934-D Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS66 Light tones of peach, powder blue and golden tones enhance both obverse and reverse.

PCGS 66 $595.00    OREGON 1938-D Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS68 Pedigreed to the Troy Wiseman collection this Denver Mint Oregon example is a remarkable specimen. Superb gem surfaces with attractive crescents of green, gold and lavender grace both obverse and to a lesser extent reverse. Wonderfully original and in a high end state of preservation, PCGS has only deemed two coins finer. A great find for the toned commem collector, a great fit for the Oregon Set builder, and a near top pop for the Registry minded. PCGS 68 $4,750.00    PANAMA-PACIFIC Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS65 A brilliant blazer completely drenched in luster. The design is a joint effort of Charles Barber (obverse) and George Morgan (reverse, he borrowed the Eagle from his better known Dollar design!). Its mintage is tiny for an early commemorative, just 27,134, compared with over a million for the 1893 Columbian. PCGS 65 $2,295.00    RHODE ISLAND 1936-D Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 Commemorating the 300th anniversary of the founding of Providence, Rhode Island's capital, by Roger Williams. The obverse depicts Williams in a canoe being welcomed by a Native American, while the reverse bears the anchor of Hope. The present example is blessed with a beautiful array of hues.

PCGS 67 $1,975.00    TEXAS 1935-D Silver Commemorative 50C NGC MS67 Early date Texas commems often come with a frosty luster and this example does not dissappoint. An amazingly sharp specimen with screaming luster and crisp detail throughout. This superb piece exhibit cameo contrast and virtually flawless surfaces. A fabulous Texas type example, with only a handful of coins grading finer by both PCGS and NGC combined. NGC 67 $595.00    TEXAS 1935-D Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 Although they can range from having semi-prooflike, reflective, to satiny luster, 1935-D Texas's probably come the prettiest of any date of the Texas Commemorative issue. This example holds true to the rule, as it is very pretty indeed. Golden rims and iridescent blue hues on the obverse and reverse overlay swirls of satiny luster. Virtually no marks and a great value for its overall appeal. PCGS 67 $625.00    TEXAS 1936 Silver Commemorative 50C NGC MS67 Golden apricot adorns both sides of this lovely Lone Star State Commemorative. A wonderful design prepared by Pompeo Coppini.

PCGS 67 $750.00    VANCOUVER Silver Commemorative 50C NGC MS66 A spectacular example, superb in every way! Both sides possess a spectrum of color, consisting of golden-honey, violet, and electric-blue. The frosty surfaces are exceptional and the strike is very full. NGC 66 $1,375.00    VANCOUVER Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 (CAC) Laura Gardner Fraser served as the designer of what has proven to be one of the tougher Classic Commems to locate in superb condition. Although the coins were minted in San Francisco they bear no S mint-mark. The intensely lustrous surfaces are enhanced with a vivid orchid hue intermingled with iridescent blue and orange along the upper left obverse as well as lower left reverse. PCGS has graded only one coin higher and it in no way compares favorably to this lovely example. CAC certified. PCGS 67 $4,250.00    WASHINGTON, BOOKER T. 1946-S Silver Commemorative 50C NGC MS67 Gorgeous low intensity golden-orange toning is complimented by traces of iridescent red of this well struck, magnificently preserved S-mint Booker T.

PCGS 67 $4,750.00    WASHINGTON, BOOKER T. 1950-S Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 (CAC) This commemorative issue was widely distributed for funding the Booker T. Washington Birthplace Memorial "to perpetuate the ideals and teachings of Booker T. Washington and to construct memorials to his memory." The building on the lower portion of the reverse of the coin is Washington's log cabin birth-place. The other structure is the Hall of Fame at New York University. Highly lustrous with stunning golden and amber hues sweeping across the obverse. PCGS 67 $1,795.00    WASHINGTON, BOOKER T. 1951 Silver Commemorative 50C PCGS MS67 (CAC) A difficult issue to locate in this pristine state.

PCGS 66 $250.00    WASHINGTON-CARVER 1952-S Silver Commemorative 50C NGC MS66* (CAC) Attractive light Mediterranean blue and lemon lime shadings cover exceptionally clean surfaces. Well deserving the "Star" designation from NGC. Only 5 coins have been graded higher.

Beautifully toned with a vibrant sea green and golden hue over crisp details. Tied for finest known, PCGS has only graded four other examples with nothing finer by either top grading service.
