2450 |

2750 |

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! |

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! |
200 |
  |
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

fabled Carson City Mint. |

  |
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-4 (re-punched 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. |

~ 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 serious marks, relatively well struck for the issue showing

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
