1936 Buffalo 5c - NGC PF66 - Satin Finish ~ Brilliant, well struck, no spots, flashy satin surfaces exhibit bright rose and sky blue toning on both sides. The photos don't do justice to this beautiful, bright coin!

1964 Roosevelt 10c - NGC PF69CAM ~ Brilliant, deep mirrors, excellent cameo contrast, no spots, no haze, no toning. Final year of the silver dime.

1827 Bust 50c - PCGS MS63 - Square Base 2 ~ Superb for the assigned grade, fully struck design features, surfaces display bright full luster with even light silvery-violet patina, no spots. A beautiful, original Bust half dollar that appears to be graded on the conservative side.

1830 Bust 50c - NGC MS62 ~ Large '0'. Brilliant with sharply struck features and great luster for the grade, light peripheral golden toning on obverse and reverse. Great looking coin for the grade.

1946-D Walking Liberty 50c - NGC MS66 ~ Brilliant, good strike and luster, light dusting of original patina over clean surfaces.

1954-D Franklin 50c - PCGS MS65FBL ~ Brilliant white, well struck, flashy luster, clean surfaces for the grade, no toning or spots. It should be noted that a MS66FBL example realized $6670 at auction in 2001.

1965 Kennedy 50c - ICG MS67 SMS, 1966 Kennedy 50c - ICG MS67 SMS, 1967 Kennedy 50c - ICG MS67 SMS ~ Special Mint Set issues. Brilliant, well struck, flashy luster, clean surfaces, no haze or toning. Sold as a well-matched set.

1800 Draped Bust $1 - PCGS AU50 ~ B-12. Beautiful original light gray toning on the devices blending to a deeper blue-gray color in the fields, sharply struck with excellent detail throughout the design, smooth even wear with clean surfaces for the grade, no adjustment marks, remaining luster around the peripheries. Most examples of Draped Bust dollars show evidence of mishandling or cleaning. This wonderful high-end circulated early dollar is a delightful exception. A fabulous type coin!

1849 Seated Liberty $1 - NGC MS62 ~ Bright semi-prooflike surfaces overlaid with a very light golden patina. The well-defined design details display a hint of the characteristic weakness on Liberty's head and eagle's left leg and neck, much less than is normally seen. A few scattered marks are visible on both sides, none of which are distracting and within the technical parameters for the grade. An obscure mint-caused grease mark under the N of United is noted for accuracy. Curiously, there is a slight reverse die rotation in relation to the obverse. With a mere 62,600 pieces produced, this date in uncirculated condition is rare, underrated and difficult to locate with nice eye appeal. This conservatively graded example, which has more 'pizzazz' than the photos suggest, represents great value and a noteworthy opportunity for the collector.

1869 Seated Liberty $1 - PCGS PR63DCAM ~ Brilliant, flashy deeply-mirrored surfaces provide a stunning black and white contrast with the heavily frosted devices, well struck except for slight weakness in the eagle's left leg feathers, no distracting spots or marks, a few unobtrusive wispy hairlines prevent a higher grade. A miniscule struck-through depression, probably a fiber remnant from a worker wiping the dies with a cloth before the coin was struck, is noted for accuracy near star 10 on the obverse. Mintage was a scant 600. The photos don't do justice to this absolutely gorgeous coin for the grade!

It should be noted that the colors are more vibrant than depicted in the images.

1878-S Morgan $1 - NGC MS65 ~ Bright glowing luster, no spots or distracting marks, exceptional gold and sky blue peripheral toning graces both sides. A beautiful, original first-year Morgan with loads of eye appeal. Note: colors are more vibrant and deeper than depicted in the image.

1879 Morgan $1 - NGC MS64 ~ Brilliant lustrous surfaces, well struck, no serious marks, a light band of gold and sky blue toning surrounds the peripheries, no spots. Housed in an early NGC holder. Note: colors are more vibrant and deeper than depicted in the image.

1880-S Morgan $1 - NGC MS65 ~ Vibrant mint luster, semi-prooflike fields, obverse displays a crescent of vibrant rainbow toning while the reverse is bathed in rich golden color, well struck, no distracting marks. Pretty coin. Note: colors are more vibrant than depicted in the image.

1881-S Morgan $1 - PCGS MS65PL ~ Brilliant white, good strike, fairly clean cheek and fields for the grade, no toning or spots, good contrast between the frosted devices and lustrous proof-like surfaces that just miss the deep-mirror (DMPL) designation. A sparkling gem!

1882-S Morgan $1 - PCGS MS64 ~ Brilliant white luster, a broad swath of electric rainbow toning on the left obverse, well struck, a few scattered ticks on Liberty's cheek and left reverse field define the grade. A beauty!  Note: colors are more vibrant than depicted in the image.

1885-CC Morgan $1 - PCGS MS64 PL ~ Borderline deep prooflike surfaces provide moderate contrast with the frosty well-struck devices, a smattering of gold toning graces the reverse and attests to the coin's originality, no spots or distracting marks. The variety is VAM-2 (dash under second 8), but is not designated as such on the holder. A beautiful better date dollar from the fabled Carson City Mint.

1886 Morgan $1 - NGC MS64 ~ Flashy bright cartwheel luster enhanced by intense steel blue and gold-rose peripheral toning on both sides, good strike, no marks of any consequence.  Solid for the assigned grade and housed in old NGC holder. Note: colors are more vibrant and deeper than depicted in the image.

1886 Morgan $1 - PCGS MS66 ~ Brilliant, lustrous surfaces that are very clean for the grade, well struck, no spots, a touch of attractive red-gold toning around the peripheries. The variety is VAM-3 (doubled 1), but is not designated as such on the older green-labeled holder. A gorgeous, very high-end MS66 coin! It should be noted that this coin has been off the market since 1998.

1887 Morgan $1 - NGC MS65 ~ Bright cartwheel luster, right half of obverse is toned an intense steel blue and gold-rose color, well struck, no marks of any consequence, no distracting spots. The variety is VAM-9 (doubled 18), but is not designated as such on the holder. Note: colors are more vibrant and deeper than depicted in the image.

1887/6 Morgan $1 - PCGS MS64 ~ VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. Brilliant, flashy semi-prooflike surfaces display gorgeous cartwheel luster, well struck, no spots or toning. The lower loop of the underlying '6' is very prominent under the '7' using  low  magnification. A very choice example for the assigned grade.

1890-O Morgan $1 - PCGS MS65 ~ Bright flashy surfaces display gorgeous cartwheel luster, no distracting marks, relatively well struck for the issue showing slight weakness in the centers on both sides, no spots or toning. An above average example of this better date Morgan dollar.

1853 Liberty Gold $1 - NGC MS64 ~ Bright golden color, sharply struck, frosty cartwheel luster, clean surfaces for the grade, no spots or discoloration. A frosty little gem of a coin that offers good value for a type set!

1836 Classic $2.50 Block 8 - PCGS MS63  ~ Breen-6142 (head of '34). Brilliant golden color, exceptionally well struck with bold hair detail above Miss Liberty's ear (which is rare for this series), flashy proof-like surfaces that are very clean for the grade, no spots or discoloration. Gorgeous type coin and very elusive at this grade level. Loads of eye appeal and just a few minor ticks and lines from MS64 and a $20,000 price tag. There are two major varieties of the 1836 Quarter Eagle.  The Block 8 is rarer than the Script 8 by a factor of four-to-one, yet there is no price difference.

1878 Indian $3 - PCGS MS64 ~ Brilliant golden color, fully struck design details, flashy cartwheel luster, clean surfaces, no spots or discoloration, doubling is noticed in the "3" of the denomination and near Miss Liberty's mouth. This is the most available date for the series, making this coin an ideal choice for a type set. Premium quality for the grade!

1891-CC Liberty Head $10 - PCGS MS62 ~ Breen-7035 (re-punched mintmark). Brilliant golden color, good strike, flashy proof-like luster, very clean surfaces for the grade, no spots or discoloration. A scarce and exceptional example from the popular Carson City mint.
