This example shows honest, even circulation with a full network of folds and handling but retains respectable eye appeal. Paper remains sound and intact with complete margins and only modest edge rounding. The inks hold up well for the grade - the red serial and seal are still distinctly visible and the intricate green overprints remain strong, with the reverse displaying a pleasing, uniform green. A tiny pinhole to the right of STATES is noted, otherwise the note faces up evenly without major distractions.

This 1896 $1 Silver Certificate, Fr. 224, is one of the most artistically significant designs in all of U.S. currency. Known as the \"Educational Series,\" it features an allegorical scene of History instructing Youth, with the Washington Monument visible in the background. The series was short-lived, running only from 1896 to 1897, making these notes particularly scarce.

This Fine-VF example shows moderate but even circulation wear consistent with the grade. The paper retains good body and crispness despite multiple vertical and horizontal folds. The black and red inks remain clear and legible, though somewhat subdued from circulation. The reverse design, featuring portraits in oval frames, maintains strong detail with the green ink showing good contrast. The margins are complete and even, adding to the note's eye appeal despite its circulated state.

Choice AU originality with a well deserved EPQ notation and strong eye appeal. The paper is bright and fully original, with evident embossing and crisp, satiny surfaces. Inks are deeply impressed - the blue seal and serials pop, while the reverse shows a vibrant, even green. Margins are well balanced with sharp corners. One faint vertical bend seen under light limits the grade, but the note retains excellent snap and presence in the holder.

This 1875 $5 National Bank Note from The National Bank of Brighton, Massachusetts, Fr. 403, represents the classic First Charter period of National Banking. Brighton's Charter #1099 was issued in 1864, making this bank part of the early wave of National Banks established during the Civil War era.

This exceedingly rare note - the only 1875 $5 National known for this bank - is Graded Choice Fine 15 by PMG. The note shows honest circulation with moderate handling consistent with the grade. The paper exhibits some minor tears and rust spots, but the overall structural integrity remains sound. The intricate engraved vignettes on both sides retain good detail despite the wear, and the red Treasury seal and charter number remain clearly visible. The reverse historical scene maintains its dramatic composition with solid ink definition throughout the central oval.

The 1786 New Jersey copper represents a fascinating piece of early American history, struck during the Confederation period before the U.S. Constitution was even ratified. Minted at the Rahway mint by Thomas Goadsby, Albion Cox, and Walter Mould, these coins were authorized by the New Jersey legislature to address a severe shortage of small change in the region.

This VF30 example certified by PCGS displays perfectly-pleasing chocolate brown surfaces with the distinctive horse head retaining good definition despite moderate circulation. The shield on the reverse shows clear horizontal lines and vertical pales, with the distinctive narrow format clearly visible. The date and legends remain bold and readable, and the surfaces show honest wear consistent with the grade. The coin has developed a natural, even patina that enhances its eye appeal and speaks to its authenticity as a genuine colonial-era artifact. CAC doesn't sticker these issues anymore, but we can be pretty sure this one would earn a green bean if they did!

This VF example of an extremely scarce bank shows honest circulation with solid body and pleasing eye appeal. The blue charter numbers and serials remain vivid, the bank title and signatures are sharply printed, and centering is quite even with full frame lines. Paper surfaces are sound with no apparent repairs, and the reverse green retains good strength despite the folds. A touch of handling tone is present but non distracting. Housed in a clean PMG holder noting Woods - Tate, this specimen presents as a strong, problem free Twenty.

This example shows pleasing, evenly handled paper with solid body and balanced margins that frame bold, well-saturated inks. The blue seal and serials remain crisp, and the black printing retains strong contrast with good detail around the counters and cartouches. Surfaces are sound with no tears or repairs noted, and the edges are intact without fraying. Overall eye appeal is above average for the grade, with a respectable, problem-free look for a circulated FRBN Ace.

Richly original and evenly toned, this example shows glossy chocolate to olive-brown surfaces with subtle steel highlights and a whisper of remaining luster in the protected curls and wreath. Detail is strong and balanced for the grade, with complete rims and pleasing texture that reads “never messed with.” A few old lines are the only quibbles, otherwise overall eye appeal is satisfying and honest. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.

Rich, even chocolate-brown surfaces with a pleasing matte-gloss sheen and plenty of latent luster swirling. The strike is admirably bold for the issue, with crisp hair and wreath detail and strong, problem-free legends. Surfaces are impressively clean for early copper, showing only light, scattered ticks and slightly muted surfaces that cap the grade. No spots, corrosion, or color interruptions, just wholesome original skin and balanced eye appeal throughout. Housed in a fresh NGC holder.

Blazing mint red from rim to rim with lively satiny luster, this example has that scarce fresh-copper look everyone wants in early federal copper. The strike is admirably bold for the issue with crisp edges and strong central detail, and the skin reads fully original. A few tiny carbon specks keep it honest at the grade, but the eye appeal is undeniably outstanding. Housed in a current PCGS Gold Shield holder with the Large 6, Stems attribution on the label - a choice, vibrant Red survivor that pops in hand.

Lovely, problem-free XF with rich chocolate-brown skin and subtle mahogany and slate undertones that read as totally original. The 9 over inverted 9 is bold. Wear is even and honest, with crisp star points and strong wreath detail. Surfaces are smooth for the grade, with only a few scattered ticks in the obverse field limiting the number. Housed in a standard PCGS holder, this example offers balanced eye appeal and exactly the look we all prize.

Warm walnut-brown with lighter tan highlights and a pleasing, even skin, this Cohen 1, late die state (4-star cud) half cent offers textbook VF detail and notably smooth, original surfaces. The fields retain a soft gloss, rims and legends are bold, and the coin’s balanced wear gives it excellent eye appeal for the grade. For specialists who care, this variety is much tougher than others, as most on the market are earlier die states (sans cud). Housed in a PCGS holder with Cohen variety attribution and a well-deserved green CAC sticker.

Lovely, evenly worn chocolate-brown surfaces with lighter tan accents and honest circulation gloss give this example pleasing eye appeal for a solid Fine with dies rotated a full 180 degrees into Medallic alignment. The fields are smooth for the grade with no distractions of note, and the devices remain bold and well framed by intact rims. Housed in an NGC holder noting the Mint Error, this specimen offers original color, balanced wear, and an unusual orientation error to boot.

This 1922 $20 Gold Certificate, Fr. 1187, represents one of the most popular large-size types. Gold Certificates from this era were redeemable in actual gold coin, making them particularly desirable during their circulation period. The series stands out for its distinctive black obverse design with golden-orange Treasury seal and serial numbers.

Graded About Uncirculated 50 by PMG, this note shows minimal circulation while retaining most of its original brightness and crispness. The black and orange inks remain sharp and well-defined, with the orange elements providing striking contrast against the black design elements. The margins are well-centered, and the paper maintains excellent body. The golden-orange reverse displays strong color and detail, with the eagle motif particularly well-preserved.

Original paper surfaces and a well deserved PPQ designation highlight this Fr. 1215, offering strong eye appeal for the grade. The inks remain bold with rich contrast - the red overprint pops and the blue serials are crisp - while the paper retains pleasing body and evident originality. Margins are balanced and frame the design cleanly. The orange reverse is vibrant with deep color carry. Three vertical folds limit the grade, but the note stays attractive in hand. Housed in a clean PCGS Currency holder with clear labeling and plate A8/20 noted.

Evenly circulated and genuinely pleasing for the grade, this note shows strong ink contrast with a vivid red seal, bold blue serials, and a bright golden underprint that pops against clean, balanced margins. The paper retains solid body and an honest, original look, while the orange reverse still presents with appealing depth of color and good overall eye appeal. Securely housed in a fresh PMG holder.

Blazing full Red with vibrant copper-orange luster that races across satiny, undisturbed fields, this coin delivers knockout eye appeal for a solid 64 Red. Sharply struck with crisp star points and leaf detail, the surfaces are notably clean for the grade, with no big black or green marks as is typical with 64s. The color is even and original from center to rims, shifting from bright tangerine to rose-gold under tilt. Housed in a PCGS holder with the Gil Clark pedigree on the label - a choice, flashy specimen that pops in hand.

A TON of meat on this AG: Hard, evenly worn surfaces in a classic medium chocolate-brown with darker recesses give this coin an honest, original look. The entire portrait and LIBERTY shows well for the grade, while the reverse wreath is fully discernible despite heavy wear. The planchet is sound with only minor rim ticks, scattered light scratches, and a small old scuff at the lower reverse - no distracting corrosion or major issues. Eye appeal is respectable for a low-grade 1793, with a stable, natural patina throughout. Housed in a modern PCGS holder noting the Lettered Edge.

Chocolate to chestnut-brown with lighter tan highlights, this S-58 Head of 1794 shows pleasingly even wear and strong definition for the grade, with full rims, bold legends, and a crisp wreath and fraction. The surfaces are refreshingly original and smooth for early copper, delivering balanced, honest color and very good eye appeal. Housed in a PCGS holder with variety attribution and a well-deserved green CAC sticker.

The 1795 Liberty Cap cent represents one of America's earliest copper issues, produced when the nation's coinage was still in its infancy. The Letter Edge variety, referring to the lettered edge reading \"ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR,\" is a distinct type within this short-lived series. These early coppers were struck by hand at the Philadelphia Mint using primitive technology, resulting in frequent variations in quality and appearance.

This F15 example displays a pleasing chocolate-brown patina that has developed naturally over its 225+ years of existence. Despite moderate wear consistent with the grade, the important design elements remain clearly visible - Liberty's profile shows good definition and the reverse wreath details are well-preserved. The surfaces exhibit the honest wear expected of a circulated early copper, free from any significant problems that often plague these issues. For an 18th-century copper in this grade range, the eye appeal is quite strong, making this an excellent representative of our nation's earliest coinage.

Choice, evenly toned medium‑brown surfaces with that wholesome early‑copper look and no distracting porosity or verdigris. Wear is balanced and honest, with bold legends and date and plenty of hair definition for the grade. The reverse shows a thin, old diagonal scuff through ONE CENT and a lighter tick in the left field, both long-settled and not at all out of place for the issue. Rims are sound with only trivial nicks. Strong eye appeal for a circulated example, housed in a classic PCGS OGH to boot—PCGS got the grade just right here.

Choice, original early copper in a wholesome VG window - even chocolate-brown with subtle brick-red flecks and a stable old patina. Detail is balanced for the grade with full legends, a bold 98, and decent reverse wreath definition. Surfaces show light granularity and scattered circulation marks, with a couple of old rim ticks at the obverse top that do not distract in hand. Attributed S-148 on the NGC holder with the Rasmussen pedigree noted. A solid VG10 with steady, honest eye appeal.

Lovely, dead-original chocolate-brown color with lighter fiery red highlights and pleasing satiny gloss. The wear is even and honest, with smooth, problem-free fields for the grade and no distracting spots or corrosion. The overall eye appeal is quietly strong. Housed in a classic PCGS OGH and approved by CAC - a confident, choice VF that looks exactly right.

Glossy medium chocolate surfaces with lighter olive-tan high points give this S-197 a pleasing, even look and above-average eye appeal for an early copper in VF. Detail is bold where it matters, the legends and date are crisp, and the reverse wreath shows strong leaf separation. The fields are smooth for the grade with only honest circulation and no distracting porosity, while a tiny old rim nick at 4 o’clock on the reverse is of little consequence. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder, this example offers the kind of color and texture any early-cent appreciator will love.

Warm chocolate-brown surfaces with lighter cinnamon highlights give this early copper pleasing, even eye appeal. Detail is right where you want it for a wholesome mid-VF - bold date and legends, strong central hair and wreath definition, and sound rims. The planchet is attractive for the issue, with smooth, original skin and just a few trivial ticks. Nicely matched color on both sides, no gloss or unnatural brightness. Housed in an NGC holder with S-205 attribution and the Jules Reiver Collection pedigree noted on the label.

The year 1803 saw several different die combinations, making attribution of specific varieties an engaging pursuit for specialists in early American copper.

This VF20 example w/ small date + small fraction displays a pleasing, even chocolate-brown patina that has developed naturally over its 220+ years of existence. The surfaces show moderate, honest wear consistent with the grade, yet the important design elements remain clearly visible. Liberty's profile retains good definition, and the reverse wreath details are well-preserved with clear leaf veins still evident. The coin appears problem-free, lacking the porosity or corrosion that often plagues early copper. Its eye appeal is excellent for the grade, making it a worthy representative of this early American copper.

Rich chocolate-brown surfaces with steel and olive undertones give this S-254 a genuinely original look, evenly worn with bold, problem-free rims and surprisingly crisp hair detail for the grade. The fields are smooth and hard with a pleasing natural gloss, and the reverse lettering and wreath remain sharp, enhancing the overall eye appeal. A tiny reddish spot within the bow is noted but not distracting. Housed in a fresh NGC holder with full variety attribution, this example is a strong, satisfying VF with very reasonable claims to XF.

Warm chocolate-brown surfaces with olive overtones and a pleasing, even high-contrast patina give this Small Date, Large Fraction cent excellent eye appeal for the grade. Detail is strong throughout with crisp LIBERTY and well-defined wreath elements, and the planchet quality is notably sound for early copper. The fields are smooth and original with only minor circulation ticks - a tiny piece of fiber on the surface at 7 o’clock is the lone quibble. Nicely centered, problem-free, and housed in a PCGS gold shield holder, this VF-level example has the look we all chase in early large cents.

Choice, fully original medium-brown surfaces with subtle tan highlights and a soft, even patina give this VF a notably pleasing look, and the overdate is bold to the naked eye. The wear is perfectly balanced, the fields are smooth for the grade with no meaningful distractions, and a well-deserved green CAC sticker confirms the quality. Housed in a PCGS holder, this example offers excellent eye appeal for all of us who appreciate honest, problem-free early copper. CAC stickered population 2 for the grade with only 14 finer.

Warm chocolate-brown surfaces with subtle olive and tan highlights give this coin a pleasing, completely original look, with hard, smooth fields free of porosity or distracting spots. Detail is exactly what you want at mid-VF - LIBERTY clear, stars and wreath leaves well defined, and even wear throughout - delivering strong eye appeal for the grade. Nicely centered, problem-free edges, and an attractive, natural gloss round it out. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder with the Large Date attribution on the label.

Completely original and evenly worn, this VF example shows smooth, problem free surfaces in a rich chocolate brown with subtle olive and steel undertones that pop under light. Detail is bold for the grade, with balanced wear and pleasing definition throughout, delivering strong eye appeal for a circulated Classic. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder and approved by CAC - the Crosslet 4 attribution on the label.

Lovely medium chocolate-brown with soft steel undertones and nicely balanced wear, this VF example shows wholesome, original surfaces and smooth fields that retain a pleasing circulated cameo look. Detail is strong for the grade with crisp legends and a well-formed date, and the color is even from rim to center. This coin presents as an honest, problem-free Classic Head cent that simply looks right.

Choice Brown with CAC approval and strong eye appeal. Even medium chocolate surfaces glow with satiny cartwheel, showing just a few trivial ticks. Strike is crisp with bold rims and star points, and the reverse is likewise clean, displaying the tiny center dot and fine line beneath ONE CENT from the dies rather than mishandling. Free of carbon, spots, or verdigris, the coin sits in a modern PCGS holder and easily reads as a high-end example for the grade.

Fresh, original paper with evident embossing and strong press still in the surfaces. The blue seal and serials are deeply saturated, contrasting nicely against bright, clean fields. Margins are well balanced with sharp corners, and registration is spot on. The reverse shows a vibrant, uniform green with excellent depth. A faint darker area is noted to the right of the seal limiting this to gem, otherwise the note presents as superb gem (or beyond.)

Classic PCGS OGH with a well-earned green CAC sticker, housing an evenly worn, problem-free 1826 cent with excellent eye appeal. The surfaces show rich milk-chocolate and autumnal tan hues with soft gloss, completely original and pleasantly matched side to side. Details are bold for the grade, rims are full, and the texture is smooth with no trace of roughness or cleaning. This example sits right at the top of XF - exactly the kind of wholesome, original coin CAC loves.

Rich mahogany and cocoa-brown surfaces with subtle russet highlights give this coin a wonderfully original look, with soft satiny luster clinging in the protected recesses and around the legends. Detail remains strong and even, the fields are notably clean for the level, and the color is attractively uniform from rim to center. A tiny spot above CENT on the reverse is noted under close light, but it does little to mute the pleasing eye appeal. Housed in an NGC holder with a well-deserved green CAC sticker, this example delivers that classic, wholesome AU look.

The 1856 Flying Eagle cent represents a pivotal moment in American numismatic history. This was the first small-sized cent, created as a pattern coin to replace the larger copper cents that had become impractical due to rising copper prices. Though technically a pattern issue, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent had a mintage of approximately 2,000 pieces, making it significantly rarer than its 1857-1858 counterparts that went into full production.

This VF25 example displays is a Snow 3 and a true mint-state (as opposed to proof) example. It shows honest wear from circulation with a pleasing chocolate-brown patina that's developed naturally over its 165+ years of existence. The eagle's wing feathers show moderate wear but remain clearly defined, while the reverse wreath details are still sharp and well-preserved. The surfaces are remarkably smooth for a circulated Flying Eagle cent, with none of the porosity or environmental damage that often plagues these early copper-nickel pieces. The eye appeal is excellent for the assigned grade, making this a desirable example of this historically significant transitional issue.

The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is a classic in American numismatics. Struck as a pattern, this coin set the groundwork for the small cent size we recognize today.

This coin, graded PR65+ by PCGS with the coveted CAC green sticker, is a stunning example. It boasts smooth, reflective fields with sharply struck details. The rich, medium-brown patina and minimal contact marks highlight the coin’s premium eye appeal.

Warm, original nickel-tan surfaces with a soft satiny cartwheel and notably sharp detail for the issue. The obverse shows a tiny reddish toning fleck on the lower wing and a few scattered ticks, while the reverse is impressively clean with crisp devices and undisturbed texture. Color is even and pleasing from rim to center, with no spots or discoloration of consequence. Eye appeal lands solidly above the grade, and the green CAC sticker nods in approval in this current-generation PCGS holder.

The 1858 Flying Eagle cent is noteworthy as the third and final year of this short-lived but highly collectible series.

This CAC-approved MS63 example displays beautiful original surfaces with rich, honey-bronze color throughout. The strike is impressively bold, with sharp definition on the eagle's feathers and the wreath details on the reverse. The fields show minimal marks for the grade, and the overall eye appeal is outstanding with warm, natural luster that radiates across both sides of the coin. The original mint bloom remains intact, giving this coin a distinctive presence that separates it from lesser examples.

Silky, original copper-nickel surfaces with warm khaki-gold color and strong, even cartwheel luster - exactly what you want in a Gem. The strike is crisp with sharp feather tips and bold shield lines, and the fields are remarkably clean for the issue, with only a couple of trivial ticks. Free of carbon, spots, or distractions, the eye appeal is legitimately superior. Housed in a current PCGS holder and blessed with a well-deserved green CAC sticker.

Classic PCGS OGH with a green CAC sticker and all the right looks. This coin shows abundant original mint red transitioning to mellow brown, with satiny cartwheel luster that pops in hand. Surfaces are notably clean for the grade. Sharp definition, smooth fields, and wonderfully even color throughout give this example excellent eye appeal for an RB.

The 1873 \"Doubled Liberty\" Indian Cent is one of the most popular and widely collected varieties in the series. This variety shows clear doubling on the word \"LIBERTY\" in the headband, making it easily identifiable even to casual observers. The variety occurred when the working die received a second, slightly offset impression during the hubbing process, creating the distinctive doubled letters.

This PCGS XF40 example displays excellent detail for the grade, with sharp features throughout and particularly nice definition in the feathers and facial details. The surfaces show attractive chocolate-brown patina with smooth, problem-free skin. The eye appeal is solid, with minimal marks and excellent color saturation. The doubling on LIBERTY is clearly visible and well-defined, making this a textbook example of this popular variety.

The 1877 Indian Head Cent stands as the undisputed key date of the series, with a mintage of just 852,500 pieces - a tiny fraction compared to most other dates in the run. Economic conditions during the mid-1870s led to reduced demand for cents, resulting in this dramatically lower production figure that has made the 1877 a cornerstone rarity for over a century.

This CAC-approved AG3 displays honest, even wear throughout both sides, with all major design elements still clearly discernible despite the extensive circulation. The surfaces show a pleasing chocolate-brown patina that's completely original and problem-free. While heavily worn, the coin retains solid eye appeal with smooth, natural-looking surfaces free from any concerning marks or damage. A solid, affordable example of this classic key date that earned its CAC approval through careful preservation over the decades.

The 1877 Indian Head Cent stands as the undisputed key date of the entire series, with a meager mintage of just 852,500 pieces. This was the lowest production figure for any Indian Head Cent, making it one of the most coveted coins in American numismatics.

This PCGS VG08 example displays excellent eye appeal for the grade, with smooth, even surfaces that show minimal disturbance from circulation. The date remains bold and clear, and Liberty's portrait retains good definition despite the honest wear. The chocolate-brown patina is uniform and attractive, free from any concerning spots or corrosion. For a key date that's often found heavily worn or damaged, this coin represents a solid, problem-free example that would fit nicely into any Indian Head Cent collection.

The 1877 Indian Head Cent stands as the undisputed key date of the series, with a minuscule mintage of just 852,500 pieces - a stark contrast to the multi-million mintages of most other dates. Economic conditions during the mid-1870s reduced demand for small denomination coins, and many 1877 cents were later melted when bronze planchets became more valuable than face value. This combination makes the 1877 one of the most sought-after coins in American numismatics.

This PCGS F12 example displays even chocolate-brown surfaces with smooth, problem-free skin that's typical of a nicely preserved Fine grade coin. All major details remain visible despite the circulation wear, and the coin shows no corrosion, scratches, or environmental damage. The eye appeal is solid for the grade, with natural color and surfaces that clearly demonstrate this coin was simply worn through normal use rather than damaged or cleaned. A respectable example of this legendary key date.

The 1877 Indian Head Cent stands as the undisputed key date of the series, with a meager mintage of just 852,500 pieces - dramatically lower than the multi-million mintages typical of most other dates. This scarcity was compounded by the economic depression of the 1870s, which meant fewer coins were saved by the public, making survivors genuinely tough to find in any grade.

This CAC-approved VF30 example displays excellent eye appeal with rich chocolate-brown surfaces and smooth, problem-free skin. The coin retains sharp detail in Liberty's feathers and facial features, with the reverse showing clear definition in the wreath and shield. Both sides exhibit that desirable original patina that speaks to careful preservation over nearly 150 years. A solid, honest example of this elusive key date that would make an excellent addition to any Indian Head set.

Choice, original medium-cinnamon brown with lighter tan highlights and a smooth, even skin that screams integrity - exactly what CAC likes to see. Wear is balanced and honest, with strong definition and pleasing texture in the protected areas, plus a whisper of remaining cartwheel in the fields. Surfaces are refreshingly free of distractions for the grade, with only a tiny speck below the portrait that is not at all bothersome. The eye appeal is well above average for an XF, and the green bean confirms it. We found this coin raw and had it slabbed & stickered - a fresh-to-market example housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.

The 1879 Indian Head Cent boasted a solid mintage of over 16 million pieces, making it one of the more common dates in the series. However, finding examples that have retained their original mint red color - or even a good mix of red and brown - becomes significantly more challenging as most have long since toned to full brown.

This PCGS MS65RB gem showcases exactly why the Red-Brown designation can be so appealing.

The strike is sharp throughout, and the fields show minimal contact marks - just what you'd expect from a solid gem-grade example. Clean, lustrous, and undeniably attractive, this coin represents an excellent opportunity to add a high-quality example to your Indian Head collection.

The 1895 Indian Head cent had a solid mintage of over 38 million pieces, making it one of the more common dates in the series.

Seated in a clean, modern NGC holder, this example delivers classic Gem Red pop and pleasingly original color.

The 1906 Indian Head cent had a hefty mintage of over 96 million pieces, making it one of the more common dates in the series.

With a tiny mintage of just 484,000 pieces before the controversial designer's initials were removed, this coin has achieved legendary status. The San Francisco Mint's production was less than 1/25th of Philadelphia's output for the VDB variety, making this coin instantly rare from its first day of issue.

Ahhh the beloved 1909-S VDB -- one of the most famous and sought-after key dates in American numismatics. With a mintage of just 484,000 pieces, it represents the perfect storm of numismatic desirability: the first year of the Lincoln cent, the San Francisco mint mark, and the controversial designer's initials that were quickly removed from the design after public criticism of their prominence.

This MS64 RB example (with CAC approval) displays an appealing blend of original mint red transitioning to light brown toning. The surfaces show excellent preservation with minimal marks and strong definition throughout the wheat stalks and portrait. The eye appeal is exceptional, with beautiful luster across both obverse and reverse.

The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is the undisputed king of the Lincoln series.

The coin exhibits solid eye appeal with nice original color and no concerning spots or corrosion. All major design elements remain sharp, and the surfaces are pleasingly smooth. A solid example of this important first-year key date that represents excellent value in the circulated grade range.

The San Francisco Mint was still finding its footing with cent production in these early years, and the relatively low output combined with heavy circulation in the West means high-grade survivors are genuinely tough to locate.

This PCGS MS63BN example proudly sports a gold CAC sticker, confirming extreme conservatism in grading (the coin borders on RB and is a minimum 64+).

The 1914-D Lincoln Cent stands as one of the true key dates of the entire series. With a mintage of just 1,193,000 pieces - tiny by Lincoln cent standards - this Denver issue is scarce in all grades and represents a major hurdle for anyone building a complete set. Most examples that survived saw extensive circulation, making problem-free VF coins like this one quite desirable.

The 1919-S Lincoln Cent is a semi-key date in the series, with a mintage of just 139.7 million pieces – modest for the era. San Francisco cents from this period are notoriously difficult to find with full original red color and strong strikes, as the mint was known for producing coins with weaker strikes and less vibrant surfaces than its Philadelphia counterpart.

This exceptional MS64RB example showcases impressive surfaces for the grade. The coin retains significant original mint red color with subtle brown toning beginning to develop. The surfaces are remarkably clean with minimal marks. The strike is better than typically encountered for this date, with good definition on the wheat stalks and Lincoln's hair details.

The dramatic doubling is clearly visible on the date and lettering, showing the full, bold characteristics that make this variety so desirable. The reverse remains sharp with clean, well-defined wheat stalks and central lettering.

The 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Cent stands as one of the most dramatic and sought-after error coins in American numismatics. During production, a misalignment in the hubbing process caused significant doubling on the obverse, most visible in the date and inscriptions. With an estimated mintage of only 20,000-24,000 pieces, this error has become a legendary rarity that transcends typical Lincoln cent collecting.

The surfaces display an even, medium-brown patina with traces of original mint luster still visible in protected areas. The dramatic doubling is bold and clear, particularly visible in the date and lettering. For a coin that briefly circulated, the surfaces are remarkably clean and problem-free.

The 1975 Lincoln cent had a massive mintage of over 5.4 billion pieces, but finding examples that retain their full original red color in superb mint state condition is a completely different story. Most copper cents from this era have long since toned to red-brown or brown, making full red examples like this increasingly scarce and desirable.

This PCGS MS67+RD gem is simply spectacular. The coin blazes with vibrant orange-red luster that practically jumps out of the holder. The surfaces are remarkably clean and show virtually no contact marks or blemishes - exactly what you'd expect from a coin earning the coveted \"+\" designation. The strike is razor-sharp with full definition in Lincoln's hair and beard details. The eye appeal is absolutely outstanding, displaying the kind of pristine preservation that makes high-grade modern copper coins so challenging to locate.

The 1982 Large Date bronze cent represents a fascinating transitional moment in American coinage. This was the year the Mint switched from the traditional bronze composition (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc) to the zinc-core planchets we know today. While both large and small date varieties were produced in bronze during 1982, bronze production essentially ended this year, making these among the final examples of \"real\" copper cents. The Large Date variety is considerably scarcer than its small date counterpart in high grades.

This spectacular MS67+RD example showcases everything you want in a top-tier bronze cent. The surfaces blaze with original mint luster, displaying that coveted brilliant red color throughout.

This coin represents copper at its finest - a true gem that captures the end of an era in American cent production.

The 1922 No D Lincoln cent is one of the most famous rarities in 20th-century American numismatics. This error occurred when a worn die at the Denver mint struck coins without the mintmark showing. Of the few examples known, the \"Strong Reverse\" variety is particularly desirable, as it shows strong details on the reverse while the obverse die was severely worn - exactly the characteristics visible on this specimen.

This CAC-approved G04 example displays honest, even wear with a pleasing medium-brown patina that has developed over its century of existence. Despite its well-circulated state, the reverse lettering remains bold and clear, confirming its \"Strong Reverse\" designation. The surfaces show normal circulation marks but remain free of significant damage or problems that would detract from its status as a legitimate example of this famous mint error.

The 1922 No D Lincoln cent is one of the most famous error coins in American numismatics. Due to aggressive polishing of the dies at the Denver Mint, the D mintmark was completely obliterated on some coins, creating what appears to be a Philadelphia issue from a year when no cents were actually struck there. The \"Strong Reverse\" variety is the more desirable of the two main types, showing full wheat ear details rather than the weak, mushy reverse found on other examples.

This CAC-approved VF30 displays excellent eye appeal for the grade, with smooth, even brown surfaces that show minimal disturbance. The obverse retains strong detail in Lincoln's profile, while the reverse wheat ears are fully defined - exactly what you want to see in a Strong Reverse variety.

We bought this as a 66 RD CAC and thought it was better -- we were...kinda right?

The 1937 Lincoln Cent proof represents an important year in U.S. numismatic history, as it was only the second year of proof coin production following a 21-year hiatus. With a mintage of just 9,320 pieces, these proof pennies were specifically created for the growing numismatic market during the Great Depression. Their limited production makes high-grade examples particularly desirable.

This PR67 Red specimen, graded by PCGS and bearing a CAC sticker, is truly exceptional. The coin displays pristine mirror fields with razor-sharp reflectivity that contrasts beautifully against the frosted devices. The surfaces are virtually flawless, showing none of the carbon spotting that often plagues copper coins of this era. The original mint red color remains vibrant and complete, with rich coppery-orange tones that flash brilliantly when rotated under light. The eye appeal is absolutely outstanding, placing this coin among the finest survivors of this limited proof issue.

Gem RB copper with glowing satiny luster and genuinely original skin, this example shows rich pumpkin and cinnamon tones with vibrant mint red tucked into the recesses and lettering.

This VF30 example certified by NGC displays an attractive, even chocolate-brown patina that has developed naturally over the past century and a half. Despite moderate circulation, the shield's vertical lines remain clearly visible, and the wreath on the reverse shows good detail throughout.

No pesky toning or haze—just bright, original skin. Seated in a modern PCGS holder and blessed with a green CAC sticker that feels well earned.

The 1868 Three-Cent Nickel is a fascinating piece from the post-Civil War era. With a modest mintage of only 600 proofs, these coins are treasured glimpses into a unique period in American numismatic history. The series, introduced in 1865, was part of a broader move towards small denomination coins following the Civil War, facilitating everyday transactions when silver was scarce.

This proof specimen, graded PR65CAM by PCGS and adorned with a beloved Gold CAC sticker, exhibits exceptional eye appeal. The frosted devices stand out brilliantly against mirror-like fields, showcasing the cameo contrast that embodies the coin's beauty. Its surfaces are pristine, with no noticeable distractions, making it a superb example of this scarce issue and clearly conservatively graded as a 65. We grade this a strong 66+ Cameo.

The 1879 Shield Nickel comes from the later years of this distinctive series, which was the first nickel five-cent piece produced by the U.S. Mint. This is an exceedingly rare date -- one of the keys in the shield nickel series -- with only 25,900 minted.

This CAC-approved coin displays lovely original surfaces with a pleasing silver-gray patina. The strike is bold, with crisp shield lines on the obverse and clear star details on the reverse. Under magnification, the surfaces reveal minimal marks for the grade, and the fields exhibit attractive cartwheel luster when rotated under light. The eye appeal is excellent, with the coin presenting a harmonious, untouched appearance that exemplifies what CAC looks for when making their selective approvals.

The 1883 Shield nickel holds significance as one of the later issues of this historic design, which would soon be replaced by the Liberty Head (or \"V\") nickel later that same year. While not particularly rare with a mintage of over 1.4 million pieces, high-grade examples like this have become increasingly desirable as type coins representing the first nickel denomination issued by the U.S. Mint.

This MS64 CAC example displays exceptional quality for the grade and is packaged in a lovely original PCGS Rattler. The surfaces show rich, satiny luster with pleasing light silver-gray toning that gives the coin outstanding eye appeal.

Bright, choice Mint State surfaces with extremely lively cartwheel luster and a pleasing nickel-silver sheen that leans to pale champagne at the rims. The strike is confidently bold with crisp stars and corn-wreath detail, while the reverse is notably clean for the issue. Satiny texture throughout gives this example a fresh, original look and strong eye appeal. A few scattered ticks on the high points of the cheek and neck set the ceiling, but PCGS called this one right.

The 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel represents the inaugural year of this iconic series, but more importantly, it's the scarcer of the two design types produced that year. The Type I design, featuring the buffalo standing on a raised mound, was quickly modified mid-year to the Type II design with the buffalo standing on a line after it became clear that the raised mound would wear too quickly in circulation.

This CAC MS64 example showcases exactly why this type is so beloved. The surfaces display beautiful golden-brown toning with exceptional originality and eye appeal. The strike is sharp throughout, with full detail visible on both the Native American portrait and the buffalo. Contact marks are minimal and well-hidden, making this coin appear much finer than its technical grade suggests. The lustrous surfaces and clean fields make this an outstanding representative of this historic first-year type.

The 1913 Type 1 Buffalo Nickel represents the first year of James Earle Fraser's iconic design and the first of two distinct varieties produced that year. The Type 1 version, with the buffalo standing on a raised mound, was quickly replaced by the Type 2 design with recessed ground, making these early examples particularly significant to numismatic history.

This MS66 CAC-approved example is absolutely stunning with exceptional luster and crisp, well-defined details throughout. The surfaces display a pleasing silver-gray patina with remarkable preservation and virtually no notable contact marks - rare for a coin that typically shows numerous bag marks even in high grades.

The eye appeal is outstanding, with the coin's natural surfaces remaining completely original and undisturbed since the day it was struck.

Glowing gem with full, satiny luster and a rich antique-gold skin that deepens to amber at the rims - terrific eye appeal. The strike is crisp and even, with bold detail across the portrait and bison. Surfaces are notably clean for the grade, with only a tiny tick on the cheek under magnification. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder and blessed with a green CAC sticker, this example has that fresh, original look you want in an MS66 Type 2.

Fields are wonderfully clean for the assigned level, with only a tiny tick near the reverse field under the bison noted on close study. The overall eye appeal is strong and decidedly premium. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.

The 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel represents one of the most significant overdate varieties in American numismatics. During production, a 1917 die was repunched with a 1918 date, creating a visible \"7\" underneath the \"8.\" \n This is a prized key date rarity for serious Buffalo Nickel enthusiasts.

This CAC-approved VF30 example shows honest wear consistent with its grade, yet retains impressive detail throughout. The overdate feature remains clearly visible under magnification, and the surfaces display an attractive medium-gray patina free of problematic marks or issues. The reverse shows strong horn detail and clear definition on the buffalo's shoulder and head. The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade, with smooth, problem-free surfaces that indicate this coin circulated naturally without harsh cleaning or environmental damage.

Smooth, satiny luster rolls across pleasing silvery-champagne surfaces, giving this example strong, even eye appeal for the date.

Clean fields and frosty devices show just a few trivial ticks under magnification, nothing that disturbs the look. Housed in a modern PCGS Gold Shield holder, this specimen reads every bit high-end for the grade and glows in hand.

Silky, satiny luster rolls evenly across both sides, showing off superbly original nickel-silver color with a faint champagne cast. The strike is unusually bold for the mint - strong braid definition and a crisp, full horn - with sharply rendered legends and rim detail. Fields are wonderfully clean for the grade, with only a few trivial ticks keeping it from the next step of 67. The frosty texture and balanced surfaces give this example excellent eye appeal, and the PCGS plus-grade feels exactly right in the current Gold Shield holder.

This ANACS F12 example of the scarce and lesser-known 36-D \"3 1/2 legs\" variety shows exactly what you'd want in a mid-grade Buffalo - honest wear with no problems. The surfaces display a pleasing, even brown patina that speaks to decades of natural aging. Both the Indian's profile and the buffalo retain solid detail despite the circulation, with the date and mintmark remaining crisp and easily readable. A straightforward, no-nonsense coin that would fit perfectly in a Buffalo variety collection.

The 1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo Nickel is one of the most famous and sought-after varieties in all of American numismatics. Created when a Denver Mint employee over-polished a die to remove clash marks, the process inadvertently erased most of the buffalo's front right leg. This dramatic variety was discovered by collectors shortly after release, but even in circulated grades it remains highly collectible.

This CAC-approved VF20 example has superb eye appeal for the grade, with smooth, problem-free surfaces and natural gray-brown patina. The surfaces are remarkably clean with no distracting marks or scratches, and the coin retains strong peripheral lettering on both sides. A solid, affordable example of this legendary variety.

Certified in a PCGS gold shield holder and approved by CAC.

A lovely mid-AU example with even, original dove‑gray color and soft satiny luster clinging in the protected areas. Wear is balanced and honest, with no distracting hits — just a few light, grade-appropriate ticks in the fields.

Head details and bison’s shoulder hold up well for the level, and the rims are sound. Housed in a fresh NGC holder and blessed with a green CAC sticker for its originality and eye appeal.

Frosty, original nickel-gray surfaces with subtle champagne highlights and a steady, cartwheeling luster for the grade. The obverse shows a few honest ticks while the reverse displays light abrasions in the central flank and field below, but nothing distracting. The “3 Legs” diagnostics are bold and clean, with crisp die polish in the foreleg area and no chatter to muddy the look. Strike is balanced, rims are problem-free, and the overall eye appeal is confidently MS63. Housed in a current PCGS gold-shield holder.

Silky, satiny luster rolls across warm champagne-silver surfaces, with a touch of pale gold at the peripheries and plenty of pop for the grade. Sharply detailed with a bold reverse, this coin sits high in the band - the CAC sticker says as much (we thought it was a lock Gold bean, but no such luck.) Housed in a classic PCGS rattler, the look is wonderfully original and fresh, with just a few scattered ticks in the fields keeping it out of a gem holder. Strong eye appeal in an old-school slab that we all love.

This \"MS65\" example of a common date in a lovely package -- a gold CAC + gold-embossed NGC fatty is a genuine superb gem with impressive eye appeal. The surfaces display rich, original copper-gold toning with vibrant cartwheel luster that rotates beautifully under light. Both the obverse and reverse are exceptionally clean for the grade, showing minimal bag marks and strong strike characteristics throughout. The bison's horn and head details are boldly defined, and the coin's pristine surfaces suggest it was carefully preserved since the moment it left the Denver Mint.

Superb gem brilliant proof - glassy, deep mirrors with frosty devices and a bold, silvery-white sheen that picks up a whisper of pale champagne at the rims. The fields are watery and highly reflective, delivering crisp, squared edges and needle-sharp detail. Eye appeal is truly flashy and vibrant, with just a couple of tiny ticks in the reverse field keeping it in this lofty grade. In an NGC holder with a well-deserved green CAC sticker.

The 1937 Buffalo Nickel represents the penultimate year of this iconic American series, making it a historically significant transitional issue. While business strikes are not particularly rare (with over 79 million struck at all mints), high-grade proofs are genuinely scarce, with just 5,769 minted in 1937.

This spectacular PR67 example, both PCGS-certified and CAC-approved, displays exceptional mirror-like fields with stark contrast against the frosted devices. The surfaces are virtually flawless, showing remarkable preservation with no significant contact marks or imperfections. The eye appeal is absolutely outstanding, with brilliant, pristine surfaces that flash dramatically when rotated in the light. The strike is razor-sharp, with full horn and tail details on the buffalo and complete feather definition on the obverse.

This CAC-approved PR68 example is truly exceptional. The mirrored fields display flawless reflectivity with razor-sharp contrast against the frosted devices. Every detail is crisply struck, from the Native American's braids to the buffalo's fur and horn. The surfaces are virtually pristine with no significant imperfections, and the coin exhibits a pleasing silver-white brilliance with subtle hints of light toning around the peripheries. The eye appeal is absolutely phenomenal - this is about as nice as a Buffalo Nickel proof gets.

A valuable Jefferson Nickel -- who knew? The 1939 Jefferson Nickel \"Doubled Monticello\" shows clear doubling on Monticello and other reverse elements, making it one of the more dramatic doubled dies in the Jefferson series. While 1939 nickels are common, this specific variety is considerably scarcer and eagerly sought after.

This gem example, graded MS65 by PCGS with CAC approval, displays exceptional quality and eye appeal. The surfaces exhibit bright, satiny luster with minimal marks, and the strike is remarkably sharp throughout. The doubled features on the reverse are clearly visible, adding both visual interest and numismatic significance. The pristine, original surfaces show no signs of improper cleaning or handling, allowing the full brilliance of this error variety to shine through.

Plastic collectors rejoice! A common coin in a very uncommon and collectible holder. This PCGS PR67 Jefferson nickel is a super nice coin - \ndeeply mirrored fields and frosted devices, nice cameo contrast, all of that jazz.

But you're not here for the nickel. You're here for the nickel...in a Doily. So relish in its Doilyness and enjoy!

The 1837 Capped Bust half dime holds the distinction of being the final year of this beloved series before production ceased entirely. The half dime denomination would disappear for a year before returning in 1838 with the new Liberty Seated design. The 1837 also features several interesting varieties, making it a popular date among variety specialists and type collectors alike.

This MS62 example displays excellent luster and eye appeal for the grade. The surfaces show a bright, satiny sheen with minimal contact marks, and the strike is sharp throughout both the obverse and reverse devices. The coin maintains strong original mint bloom with just light cabinet friction preventing it from achieving a higher grade. Clean fields and well-preserved details make this an attractive representative of this classic early American silver type.

Pleasing silvery-grey with faint champagne at the rims, this CAC-approved AU55 half dime shows lively remaining luster for the grade and wonderfully original, unmesssed-with surfaces. The devices are crisp with balanced high-point friction and a smooth, even skin that gives the coin a classic circulated cameo look. A tiny spot in the reverse field is not at all distracting. Certified in a PCGS gold shield holder and approved by CAC - an attractive, confidently graded example with strong eye appeal.

Choice, original XF with that album-kissed rainbow look everyone loves - olive and tan centers framed by vibrant rings of teal, rose, and amber at the rims. Surfaces are smooth for the grade and utterly natural, with pleasing detail and a gentle, even wear pattern plus a whisper of retained luster in the protected recesses. Eye appeal is well above average, which the green CAC sticker confirms. Housed in a current PCGS holder.

1820 dimes were struck during a transitional period in American numismatics, when the young nation was establishing its monetary identity, making these early dimes historically significant.

This coin, graded XF40 by PCGS and bearing a CAC sticker, is an exceptional circulated example. The surfaces display attractive medium gray patina with subtle underlying luster still visible in protected areas. Despite moderate circulation, the coin retains excellent detail in Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's wing feathers. The fields show honest wear with minimal marks for the grade, giving this coin outstanding eye appeal.

Housed in an NGC holder with JR-5 attribution and the Bailey Collection pedigree noted on the label - a wholesome, collector-ready specimen.

The 1863-S dime represents a fascinating piece of Civil War-era numismatics. While the Eastern states grappled with wartime economic upheaval and hoarding of precious metal coins, the San Francisco Mint continued regular production using California gold rush silver. The 1863-S had a mintage of just 157,500 pieces - significantly lower than Philadelphia's production that year - and survivor figures even lower, with an estimated 250 pieces still collectible. This is one of the scarcer dates in the Seated Liberty dime series.

This PCGS VF20 example with CAC approval shows exactly the kind of honest wear and original surfaces that make Civil War-era coinage so appealing. The coin displays even circulation with all major design elements clearly visible and well-defined. Liberty's head shows good detail, and the shield lines remain crisp. The surfaces are smooth and problem-free with attractive light gray patina throughout. A solid, original example that captures the era perfectly.

The 1895-S Barber dime stands as one of the key semi-key dates in the series with a modest mintage of just 1,120,000 pieces. San Francisco mint coins from this era were produced primarily for circulation in the West, where they saw heavy use in commerce, making well-preserved examples particularly elusive today.

This F12 example has developed a lovely, even patina that highlights the essential design elements. Despite its years in circulation, the coin maintains clear detail in Liberty's hair and the wreath on the reverse. The \"S\" mintmark remains bold and legible. The surfaces display honest wear with no distracting marks or damage, giving the coin excellent eye appeal for the grade. An ideal representative of this scarce issue that would enhance any Barber dime collection.

The 1916-D Mercury dime is the undisputed key date of the series, with a tiny mintage of just 264,000 pieces - making it one of the most sought-after coins in 20th century numismatics. Denver's first year striking Mercury dimes produced this legendary rarity that has challenged collectors for over a century.

This ANACS AG 3 example shows honest, heavy circulation wear but retains all the essential details that matter most. The date and mintmark are both clearly readable, Mercury's profile remains well-defined, and the reverse fasces are still distinct despite the extensive wear. The surfaces display that smooth, even gray patina typical of heavily circulated silver, with no concerning marks or damage. For collectors seeking an affordable entry point into owning this famous key date, this represents solid value in a problem-free example.

The 1916-D Mercury dime stands as the undisputed key date of the entire series, with a meager mintage of just 264,000 pieces. The Denver Mint's first year producing Mercury dimes resulted in this legendary rarity that has captivated numismatists for over a century. Even heavily worn examples command substantial premiums, making this one of the most significant 20th century key dates.

This ANACS AG3 example shows honest, even wear throughout both sides while retaining all major design elements. The surfaces display a pleasing light gray patina with no significant problems or harsh cleaning. Liberty's profile remains clearly defined despite the wear, and the reverse fasces and olive branch are still easily discernible. For an AG 3, the eye appeal is quite respectable - a solid, problem-free example of this numismatic treasure that represents an affordable entry point into owning the king of Mercury dimes.

Wholesome, evenly worn and absolutely original, this example shows pleasing sandy-taupe and pewter tones with smooth, honest circulation.

Housed in a clean NGC holder and approved by CAC, the eye appeal is notably strong at this level.

The 1916-D Mercury dime stands as the undisputed key date of the entire series. With a meager mintage of just 264,000 pieces from the Denver Mint, it's dramatically scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart from the same inaugural year.

This honest G6 example with its well-deserved CAC sticker shows exactly what you want in a lower grade key date - original surfaces with even, natural gray patina and no problems whatsoever.

The eye appeal is solid for the grade, and the coin presents as a textbook Good-6 that hasn't been messed with over the decades. An excellent opportunity to add this essential key date to your set.

The 1916-D Mercury Dime stands as one of the most legendary key dates in American numismatics. With a tiny mintage of just 264,000 pieces – the lowest in the entire series by a substantial margin – this coin was scarce from the moment it left the Denver Mint. Most examples were released into circulation before collectors realized their significance, making well-preserved specimens particularly elusive.

This CAC-approved F12 example presents exactly what you'd hope to find in a mid-grade key date Mercury. The coin displays even, honest wear with a pleasing silver-gray patina that's developed naturally over its century-plus existence. Despite its time in circulation, the date and mintmark remain clear, and Liberty's profile retains good definition. The reverse fasces and surrounding olive branches show similar consistent wear but remain well-defined. This is a textbook example of a properly graded Fine Mercury dime with excellent eye appeal for the assigned grade.

The 1916-D Mercury dime is the undisputed key date of the entire series, with a mintage of just 264,000 pieces compared to the millions struck at Philadelphia and San Francisco that year. This was the first year of the Mercury dime series, and the Denver Mint's low production makes this date a must-have for serious collectors. Most examples that survive show heavy wear from decades of circulation before anyone realized their significance.

The 1916-D Mercury dime is the undisputed key date of the series, with a mintage of just 264,000 pieces. As the inaugural year of Weinman's new design, the Denver Mint produced significantly fewer dimes than Philadelphia, making this date essential for any Mercury dime collection. It's the one coin that separates casual Mercury dime enthusiasts from serious collectors.

This PCGS AU53 example with CAC approval is without question one of the nicest examples we've ever handled. The surfaces display lovely gray-silver color. All major design elements remain sharp with only light high-point wear on Liberty's hair and the reverse fasces. The fields are clean and free from distracting marks, and the overall strike is quite respectable for a Denver Mint product of this era. A solid, problem-free example of this essential date.

The 1921 Mercury Dime stands as one of the key dates in the series, produced during the post-World War I economic recession when mintages were generally lower. While the Philadelphia mint struck over 68 million dimes that year, many were heavily circulated and few were saved in higher grades, making this VF20 example a solid representation of this historically significant issue.

This coin displays an attractive original patina with subtle rainbow toning that has developed naturally over its century of existence. The surfaces show honest wear consistent with the VF20 grade, with Liberty's features somewhat flattened but still well-defined. The fasces on the reverse remains clear with recognizable details in the olive branches. The coin's natural coloration gives it superior eye appeal compared to many examples at this grade point that have been cleaned or otherwise mishandled.

The 1921-D Mercury Dime is a standout semi-key date in the series, with a mintage of just 1,080,000 pieces - the second lowest of all regular-issue Mercury Dimes. This Denver Mint issue was produced during the economic downturn following World War I, when coin production was generally reduced across all denominations. As a result, the 1921-D has become one of the more sought-after dates in the entire Mercury Dime series.

This VF20 example displays honest wear consistent with its grade, showing clear major design elements while the minor details have softened from circulation. The coin has developed an attractive medium-gray patina that gives it an authentic appearance. Surface marks are minimal for a coin that saw this level of circulation, and the overall eye appeal remains strong for the assigned grade.

The 1942/1 Mercury dime overdate ranks among the most famous and sought-after varieties in the entire series. This occurred when mint workers used leftover 1941 dies to create 1942 production dies, failing to completely efface the underlying \"1\" before punching in the \"2\". The result is a clear diagnostic where both numerals are visible, with the underlying \"1\" most evident in the lower loop of the \"2\". This variety was discovered relatively early and has been a cornerstone of Mercury dime collecting ever since.

This solid VF30 example housed in a classic ANACS Soapbox shows the overdate feature beautifully - you can easily make out the telltale \"1\" peeking through the \"2\" in the date. The coin displays smooth, even wear consistent with the grade, and the surfaces retain nice original color with good eye appeal. No significant marks or problems detract from this classic variety, making it an excellent representative of one of the series' most important overdates.

This superb MS68FB example represents the absolute pinnacle of quality for 1942 Denver issue Mercury dimes. Just a hair away from perfection, the coin displays immaculate surfaces with pristine, satiny luster that radiates across both obverse and reverse. The strike is remarkably sharp, with fully split bands on the reverse fasces. The original surfaces show subtle peripheral toning that frames the brilliant centers, creating a dramatic visual effect.

Finding a Mercury dime with this combination of technical grade and aesthetic beauty is extraordinarily rare.

The 1942/1-D Mercury dime represents one of the more available overdate varieties in the series, created when the Denver Mint reused 1941 dies and overpunched them with a \"2\" to create 1942 dies. While not the rarest overdate in the Mercury series, it remains highly sought after by variety collectors and commands a solid premium over regular 1942-D dimes.

This ANACS-graded XF40 example shows honest wear consistent with the grade, displaying natural gray-silver surfaces with good overall eye appeal. The overdate feature remains discernible despite the circulation, and the coin exhibits smooth, problem-free surfaces with no notable marks or defects. A solid mid-grade example of this popular variety.

The 1942/1-D is the most famous and sought-after overdate in the Mercury dime series. When the Denver Mint began striking 1942-D dimes, they used leftover 1941-D dies that had been overpunched with a \"2\" over the \"1\" in the date. Only about 10,000-15,000 pieces are estimated to exist, making this one of the key dates that every serious Mercury dime collector needs.

This ANACS XF40 example (housed in a classic \"Soapbox\" holder) shows excellent detail retention for the grade with natural pewter-gray toning throughout. The overdate is clearly visible, and both sides display smooth, problem-free surfaces with no notable marks or distractions. The coin exhibits solid eye appeal with original color and a clean appearance that makes it an excellent representative of this important variety.

The 1945-S Mercury Dime features the scarce \"Micro S\" variety, where the San Francisco mintmark is noticeably smaller than the standard size used that year. This variety was created when a different punch was used to apply the mintmark, resulting in a distinctive and sought-after variant that commands a premium among Mercury Dime specialists.

This superb PCGS MS66FB example displays outstanding eye appeal with brilliant, lustrous surfaces that practically glow with mint bloom. The strike is razor-sharp, earning the coveted Full Bands designation with complete separation of the fasces bands on the reverse. The surfaces are remarkably clean for the grade, showing only the most minimal contact marks while maintaining excellent luster throughout both sides. A truly exceptional representative of this popular variety.

The 1936 proof Mercury dime had a mintage of just 4,130 pieces, making it a scarce coin in the context of the series. Proof production in the mid-1930s was still relatively modest, catering to a small but dedicated collector base who appreciated the superior striking quality and mirror finishes that proofs offered.

This PCGS PR66 example with CAC approval showcases everything you want in a high-grade proof Mercury dime. The surfaces are brilliant and reflective with deep, watery mirrors that provide stunning contrast against the frosted devices. The strike is razor-sharp throughout, and the surfaces are remarkably clean with only the most trivial hairlines preventing a higher grade. The eye appeal is exceptional - this coin radiates quality from every angle and would make a superb addition to any high-end Mercury dime collection.

This exceptional PR67 example of a tough year for high-grade proofs (only 4,130 were made and many were of much lower quality) represents the pinnacle of 1936 proof dime production. The coin has developed a light, natural toning over its perfectly-original surfaces. It's virtually flawless - with no distracting marks or imperfections to detract from its original beauty.

CC twenty-cent'ers rarely look this honest - original, even dove‑gray skin with a faint champagne cast and steady, balanced wear. Luster peeks through the protected areas, more evident around the stars and reverse legends, giving the coin a soft, circulated glow. Surfaces are smooth for the grade with just scattered light marks and a couple of trivial rim nicks that stay out of the way; no distracting hits. Eye appeal is quietly strong and entirely natural. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder and blessed with a green CAC sticker. PCGS nailed the grade here and CAC agrees.

Housed in a PCGS OGH with a green CAC sticker - a well-deserved nod to its originality and overall look.

One of the most spectacularly appealing examples we've ever seen. A wholesome, evenly worn Fine with natural pewter and steel-gray patina accented by faint olive-gold in the protected recesses. The fields are pleasingly smooth for the grade, LIBERTY and the date are strong, and the rims are largely full, giving this example a balanced, honest look on both sides.

The 1805 Draped Bust quarter represents the early years of American coinage, struck during Jefferson's presidency when the young nation was still finding its footing. With a mintage of 121,394, the 1805 isn't the scarcest date in the short-lived series, but finding any Draped Bust quarter in collectable condition remains a challenge. These coins saw heavy circulation and most survivors show significant wear from decades of commerce in the early 1800s.

The surfaces display even, chocolate-brown toning with smooth fields free from major marks or damage. Liberty's profile remains clearly defined despite the extensive wear, and the date is bold and easily readable. The reverse eagle retains its basic form with the shield still visible. For a coin that's over 200 years old and clearly saw extensive use, the eye appeal is quite respectable. A solid, problem-free example of this early American classic.

The 1805 quarter represents early American silver coinage at its finest, with a mintage of just 121,394 pieces. This was only the sixth year of quarter production at the fledgling U.S. Mint, making any surviving example a tangible piece of our nation's numismatic infancy. The relatively low mintage combined with heavy circulation losses over more than two centuries makes even heavily worn examples like this one genuinely scarce.

This ANACS G6 example shows honest, even wear throughout with all major design elements still clearly identifiable. The surfaces display that classic medium-gray patina and stunning \"circulated cameo\" look that early silver develops after decades of circulation. Liberty's profile remains bold despite the wear, and the reverse eagle, while softened, retains its essential details. The coin is refreshingly problem-free - no scratches, gouges, or environmental damage - just the natural wear you'd expect from a quarter that actually did its job in commerce over 200 years ago. Were CAC to sticker ANACS coins, we're confident this would make the grade.

The 1805 Draped Bust quarter is a significant early American rarity from the dawn of U.S. coinage.

This CAC-approved XF40 example displays exceptional quality for a coin that saw moderate circulation. The surfaces retain impressive detail, particularly in Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's breast feathers.

Lettering and borders are strong for the grade, and the reverse retains respectable definition. A thin mark on Liberty's nose is noted, but it does little to distract. Housed in a clean NGC holder and ready to slot into a quality early-quarter cabinet.

1806 Draped Bust quarters quickly disappeared from circulation during the great silver melt of the early 1800s when silver value exceeded face value. So finding ANY example, let alone a lovely original example such as this, is an accomplishment.

This VF35 coin from the renowned Jules Reiver Collection boasts a medium gray patina that has developed naturally over its more than two centuries of existence. Despite moderate circulation, the coin retains impressive detail in Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's wing feathers.

The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade, with no distracting marks or issues that would detract from its originality.

A nice, wholesome early quarter in a straight-graded NGC holder with a green CAC sticker to boot.

The 1820 Capped Bust Quarter with the Large 0 variety is a fascinating early American coin from a time when quarters were still somewhat uncommon in daily commerce. With a modest mintage of only 127,444 pieces for all 1820 quarters, this specific Large 0 variety is much scarcer than the Small 0 counterpart, making it an important coin for early quarter specialists.

This PCGS XF40 example displays an attractive, even gray patina that has developed naturally over its two centuries of existence.

The 1828 Capped Bust Quarter had a mintage of just 102,000 pieces, making it one of the scarcer dates in the series.

Ughhhhh this coin is SO delicious.

This CAC-approved XF40 seated quarter just has that perfect, original, XF look. Despite moderate circulation, the coin retains sharp details, particularly in Liberty's drapery and the eagle's feathers. The overall eye appeal is exceptional for a mid-grade example of this important transitional variety.

Frosty, blast-white gem with lively cartwheel luster and superbly crisp definition throughout. The fields are notably clean for the grade, with only a few trivial ticks. Surfaces remain fully original with a whisper of champagne at the peripheries, and the strike is admirably bold with razor edges. Excellent eye appeal in a fresh NGC holder.

The 1861-S Seated Liberty Quarter is a significant Civil War issue coin minted at the San Francisco facility during the opening year of the conflict. As the nation was being torn apart, the San Francisco Mint produced only 96,000 of these quarters, making it one of the scarcer dates in the series.

This CAC-approved VF20 example displays honest wear consistent with its grade, showing clear definition of the central design elements while exhibiting smooth, problem-free surfaces. The coin has developed an attractive medium-gray patina. The eye appeal is excellent for the grade, with no distracting marks or issues that would detract from its desirability.

The 1862 Liberty Seated Quarter stands as a significant Civil War issue, struck during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. As the nation was torn apart by conflict, the Philadelphia Mint continued production of these silver quarters, though many were hoarded as the public lost faith in paper currency. The resulting mintage of just over 900,000 pieces seems substantial but finding mint state examples with original surfaces has become increasingly difficult.

This CAC-approved MS62 example displays exceptional quality for the grade. The coin exhibits lovely original toning with hints of champagne and silver-gray hues that complement its underlying luster. Both the obverse and reverse showcase strong strikes with excellent detail in Liberty's drapery and the eagle's feathers. The surfaces show minimal marks for the grade, and the overall eye appeal is outstanding. The CAC endorsement confirms this coin as a premium example within its grade level.

This AU58 example graded by PCGS is actually a lightly-circulated proof in a mislabeled holder. It doesn't change the value much and we don't want to lose the lovely OGH holder, so here it sits. \n\nThe coin displays a pleasing original gray patina with traces of underlying mirrors still visible in the protected areas. The strike is bold, with well-defined stars and drapery lines on the obverse and crisp feather details on the reverse eagle. Light wear is evident only on the highest points, consistent with the AU58 grade. The surfaces remain remarkably clean for a coin that briefly circulated, with minimal marks and excellent eye appeal.

An absolutely lovely AU55 with an extremely well-deserved CAC sticker. Perfectly even color, balanced wear, a nice crust, and a delightful display of original, real luster beneath the skin. A textbook mid-AU coin. This coin brought nearly $600 when it sold at Heritage a few years ago - no wonder.

The 1891 Seated Liberty Quarter represents one of the final issues of this long-running series, which would be replaced the following year by the Barber design. While not particularly scarce in circulated grades, finding examples in About Uncirculated condition with original surfaces has become increasingly difficult as many have been improperly cleaned over the years.

This AU55 example housed in a classic ANACS soapbox displays gorgeous natural toning, with subtle blue and russet hues developing around the peripheries that frame the devices beautifully. The underlying luster remains surprisingly vibrant for the grade, especially in the protected areas. Strike details remain sharp throughout Liberty's gown and the eagle's feathers, with only light wear on the highest points. The eye appeal is exceptional, with clean surfaces that show fewer marks than typically encountered on coins of this era that saw brief circulation.

The 1891 Seated Liberty Quarter holds special significance as the final year of this long-running series that began in 1838. After over half a century of faithful service, the Seated Liberty design gave way to the new Barber Quarter in 1892. The Philadelphia Mint struck 3,920,600 pieces in 1891, making it one of the more available dates in the series, but finding pleasing high-grade examples with original surfaces is still a challenge.

This ANACS AU58 example showcases spectacular original toning that elevates it well above typical survivors. The obverse displays warm gray and brown hues with hints of blue, while the reverse explodes with vibrant peripheral toning in shades of blue, orange, and gold that frames the eagle beautifully. The surfaces are remarkably clean for the grade, showing only the lightest friction on the high points. The eye appeal is outstanding - this coin has clearly been preserved properly throughout its 130+ year journey. A gorgeous representative of this historic final year.

The 1874 Seated Liberty Quarter with arrows represents the second and final year of this short-lived variety. The arrows flanking the date were added in 1873 to denote a slight weight increase from 6.22 to 6.25 grams, mandated by the Coinage Act of 1873. Only 700 proof quarters were struck in 1874 with arrows, making this a genuinely scarce issue that was discontinued after just two years when the arrows were removed in 1875.

This stunning PR65 example housed in an old PCGS 1st-generation \"Rattler\" holder showcases the eye appeal that makes proof Seated Liberty quarters so desirable. Rich violet and blue toning dominates both sides, with deeper hues gathering in the protected areas around the devices and legends. The mirrors remain bold and reflective beneath the toning, creating beautiful contrast with the frosted motifs. The surfaces are exceptionally clean for the grade, showing only minor hairlines that keep it from an even higher designation. A gorgeous example of this brief but important variety.

The 1892 Barber quarter represents the first year of Charles E. Barber's classic design, which would grace America's coinage for the next 25 years. As with most first-year issues, these quarters were saved in higher numbers by contemporary collectors, making gem examples more available today than many later dates in the series.

That being said - very few of those saved look like his stunning MS66 example. It's got blazing cartwheel luster that radiates across the surfaces. The strike is remarkably sharp, with full detail present in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The surfaces are nearly pristine, showing minimal marks that are well below what's typically expected for the grade. The eye appeal is extraordinary, making this an ideal candidate for a high-grade type set.

The 1896-S Barber Quarter stands as one of the key dates in the series, with a modest mintage of just 188,039 pieces. This San Francisco issue is significantly scarcer than its Philadelphia and New Orleans counterparts from the same year, making it highly sought after in all grades. Most examples entered circulation and remained there for extended periods, which explains why high-grade specimens are particularly elusive.

This CAC-approved G06 example displays honest wear consistent with its grade, showing clear definition of the major design elements despite extensive circulation. The surfaces exhibit a pleasing, even gray patina that has developed naturally over time. While well-worn, the coin retains clear date and mintmark visibility, with no distracting marks or damage that would detract from its numismatic appeal.

In a fresh CACG holder, this key-date survivor shows wholesome, evenly worn surfaces with a natural oatmeal-silver to steely gray patina and just the right amount of honest circulation. The date is bold, rims are largely complete for the grade, and both sides read cleanly without distractions or impairing marks. Texture is smooth and original, with light dirt nestled into the devices enhancing the contrast and overall eye appeal. The look is utterly correct for an AG3 and exactly what CACG likes to see.

The 1913-S Barber quarter stands as one of the key dates of the entire series, with a minuscule mintage of just 40,000 pieces. This was among the lowest production figures for any Barber quarter, making survivors genuinely scarce across all grades. The San Francisco mint's limited output that year created an instant rarity that has only grown more elusive with time.

This PCGS VG08 example earned its CAC sticker through solid originality and problem-free surfaces. The coin displays even medium-gray patina throughout, with smooth, natural wear patterns typical for the grade. Liberty's profile retains good definition despite circulation, and the surfaces are remarkably clean without any distracting marks or issues. For a key date that's notoriously difficult to find in any condition, this represents an excellent opportunity to add a quality example to your collection.

The 1917 Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter represents the second and final year of Hermon MacNeil's original design before modifications were made to address concerns about Liberty's exposed chest and the vulnerability of the date to wear. With a mintage of over 8 million pieces, examples are far more obtainable than the legendary 1916, but finding ones with full head detail intact is significantly more challenging.

This PCGS MS65FH example showcases exactly why CAC gave it their coveted sticker. The surfaces radiate with creamy, original luster and display virtually no distracting marks. The strike is superb, delivering the full head detail that gives this coin its special designation. Light silver-gray color with hints of golden toning around the peripheries creates outstanding eye appeal. A truly superior representative of this important first-year type.

Frosty, satiny luster rolls across fully original silver-gold surfaces, with a pleasing, even skin that screams originality. The strike is excellent - a true Full Head with crisp shield detail and razor wing feathers. Both sides are wonderfully clean for the grade, with only a few scattered ticks in the fields holding it at 65. Color is uniform and attractive, free of dips or haze, and the eye appeal is confidently high. Housed in a modern PCGS Gold Shield holder for added peace of mind.

Gem, Plus and FH - and it looks the part. Vibrant cartwheel luster floods the fields, framed by handsome peripheral color in gold, russet, and wisps of violet over frosty silvery centers. The strike is razor-crisp with a bold full head and strong shield detail, giving this example real presence. Surfaces are remarkably clean for the level, with only some tiny marks keeping it out of the next box. Superb eye appeal in a PCGS gold shield holder.

The 1917-S Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter is a significant issue from the first full year of the series' production. The San Francisco mint struck just 1,952,000 quarters that year, making it considerably scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart. This coin features the more controversial \"bare breast\" design (gasp!) that was modified later in 1917.

This MS61 example offers more than its grade might suggest. The surfaces display attractive original toning with hints of russet patina forming around the devices and near the rims. Despite the expected light bagmarks for the grade, the central details remain impressively sharp, earning the coveted Full Head designation. The reverse eagle shows strong feather definition and the coin retains good luster beneath the light toning. The eye appeal exceeds what's typically found at this grade level, making this a desirable example of this early San Francisco mint issue.

The 1917-S Type 2 Standing Liberty Quarter features the modified design with Liberty's partially covered torso. This modified design was introduced midway through 1917 in response to public concern over the original \"bare breast\" depiction. The San Francisco mint produced fewer of these Type 2 quarters than Philadelphia, making the 1917-S Type 2 notably scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart.

This NGC MS64 example with CAC approval exhibits impressive quality for the grade. The surfaces display bright, satiny luster with minimal marks or abrasions. Its strike is notably strong, with well-defined head details and shield elements that often come weak on this issue. The coin has developed a light, natural silver-gray patina that enhances its eye appeal while confirming its originality. The eagle on the reverse is particularly sharp, with excellent feather definition throughout the wings.

Frosty silver luster races around both sides with a pleasing champagne glow at the peripheries. The strike is notably bold for the issue with crisp shield lines and strong central detail, though just a touch shy of a Full Head. Surfaces are exceptionally clean for the grade with only a few light ticks in the open fields. The plus feels well earned and the eye appeal is decidedly high end. Housed in a modern PCGS gold shield holder.

The 1923-S Standing Liberty Quarter represents one of the more challenging San Francisco mintage issues of the series. With a modest production of just 1,360,000 pieces, it stands as one of the lower mintage dates from the 1920s. The economic pressures of the early 1920s resulted in reduced coinage production, making well-preserved examples from this era particularly desirable.

This XF40 example exhibits the honest wear expected for the grade, with a pleasing medium-gray patina that has developed naturally over its nearly century-old surfaces. The detail retention is quite respectable, with clear definition still visible in Liberty's flowing robe and the eagle's wing feathers. The fields show minimal marks for a coin that circulated, and the overall eye appeal is excellent for the assigned grade.

Silky cartwheel luster races across frosty, original surfaces, ringed by warm champagne-gold with russet accents at the left obverse rim and soft peach on the reverse. The strike is impressively crisp with bold shield detail and well-rendered feathers, while the head remains typical. At MS67-level, distractions are negligible and the eye appeal is excellent, fully fresh and vibrant. Housed in a current PCGS gold shield holder.

Frosty, blazing cartwheel luster rolls beneath a pleasing veil of champagne and amber rim toning, giving this MS67 terrific eye appeal. The strike is confident with just a whisper of typical softness at the head, while the fields and devices remain impressively clean for the grade, with only a few tiny, toning-hidden ticks and no meaningful distractions. Both sides show uniform satiny texture and original skin that reads fresh in hand. Housed in a current PCGS gold shield holder, this example absolutely looks the part of a top-end 67.

Tied for numerically finest coin at PCGS (sharing the podium with a 67FH which most recently sold for $90,000), this is the sole MS67 without the FH designation, with none finer. A capstone to any outstanding SLQ set.

Original, even color with pale champagne-silver centers and a subtle ring of blue-violet at the rims, this XF45 shows balanced wear and pleasing residual luster tucked into the recesses. The strike is a touch soft at the centers, typical for the issue, yet the overall definition is strong for the grade. Surfaces are honest and undisturbed, with only some scattered contact marks in the fields. Housed in a PCGS holder and approved by CAC, this example offers unusually good eye appeal for a circulated 1927-S.

Blast-white to pale champagne surfaces beam with frosty, satiny cartwheel luster, giving this Gem FH example crisp, lively eye appeal. The Full Head is razor sharp, with equally bold shield and feather detail, and the fields are notably clean for the grade. Housed in a CACG holder, this specimen has the look and pop you want for a top-tier 1929 SLQ.

The 1929-D Standing Liberty Quarter had a relatively modest mintage of just 1,358,000 pieces, making it one of the scarcer issues in the series. Denver mint quarters from this era are typically found heavily worn from circulation, so finding choice AU examples like this one requires patience and persistence.

This CAC-approved AU58 displays excellent eye appeal with lustrous, original surfaces that retain much of their mint bloom. The coin shows only light high-point wear consistent with the grade, while the fields maintain their satiny texture. Clean, mark-free surfaces and strong detail throughout make this an exceptional representative of both the date and grade. A solid choice for the discerning collector seeking quality in this challenging series.

The 1929-S Standing Liberty Quarter is a notable issue from the final years of the series, produced just before the Great Depression would dramatically impact coin production. While not the rarest date in the series, finding gem examples has become increasingly difficult as many were either placed into circulation or improperly stored over decades.

This spectacular \"MS65\" example certified by PCGS and endorsed with a gold CAC sticker represents exceptional quality for the issue. The coin displays gorgeous original surfaces with rich, champagne-gold toning on the obverse that transitions to vibrant rainbow hues on the reverse. The strike is bold and complete, with sharp definition throughout Liberty's gown and the eagle's feathers (and, most importantly, in Liberty's head.) Lustrous fields flash brilliantly when rotated under light, and the surfaces are remarkably clean for the grade with minimal marks. The eye appeal is extraordinary, particularly with the dramatic contrast between the mostly untoned obverse and the colorfully toned reverse.

Silvery-champagne patina with frosty, satiny luster that spins hard for the grade and gives this example real eye appeal. The strike is unusually bold with crisp hair detail and strong feather definition, and the surfaces read fully original with no signs of mishandling. Just a whisper of friction on the cheek and eagle’s breast caps the AU designation. Housed in a CACG holder, and it looks every bit the “slider” that we all hope to find and slip past paying the (hefty) mint state premium.

Rich, satiny luster rolls across softly frosted surfaces of this key-date gem, framed by attractive album toning - warm champagne centers washing to honey-gold and light russet at the peripheries. The strike is crisp for the issue, with notably bold detail and squared rims, and the fields are impressively clean for a gem. These often come meh, even in 65. This coin is not meh in any way shape or form - a flashy winner. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder, this example delivers the look you want to cap off the hard work on your Washington collection.

Fresh, original Gem-plus from CACG, showing satiny cartwheel luster under warm champagne-gold and pale ice-blue toning that hugs the devices and peripheries. The strike is impressively full for the issue, with crisp hair detail and better-than-usual feather definition on the reverse. Surfaces are unmolested and notably clean for the grade, with only some scattered contact in the fields limiting a higher bump. The eye appeal is strong and undeniably original - a well-curated specimen that CACG clearly liked.

The 1936 Proof Washington Quarter represents a fascinating piece of numismatic history. With only 3,837 proof coins struck that year, these quarters were produced during a time when the U.S. Mint was just reviving its proof coin program after a 20-year hiatus.

This PR66 example with CAC approval shows beautiful original toning that has developed naturally over nearly nine decades. The surfaces display a subtle blend of silver-gray and champagne hues with hints of russet, particularly near the peripheries. Despite a few small carbon spots visible on the obverse (common for coins of this era), the mirrored fields maintain impressive reflectivity and contrast nicely with the frosted devices. The eye appeal is exceptional for a pre-war proof, with the CAC sticker confirming its premium quality for its grade.

Finding a 1936 proof quarter with this level of preservation and originality is increasingly difficult, as many examples have been dipped or improperly cleaned over the decades. This coin represents an ideal opportunity for the advanced collector seeking an authentic, premium-quality specimen from the early modern proof era.

Lovely, fully original Good with even dove gray color and surprisingly smooth, problem free surfaces for the grade. Wear is uniform and honest, the rims are largely intact with bold legends and date, and there are no distracting digs or scratches - just a faint scattered tick or two to mark time. The reverse shows weakness from the later and rarer O-105a die state (which has a characteristic weakness in the central reverse at all grades.) The look is wholesome and natural throughout, delivering pleasing eye appeal in a modern PCGS gold shield holder.

The 1794 Flowing Hair half dollar represents one of America's earliest silver coin issues, produced during just the second year of official U.S. Mint operations. With a limited mintage of only 23,464 pieces and struck using relatively primitive technology, these coins rarely survived in any condition, let alone circulated examples with this level of detail preservation. First-year half dollars are true artifacts of the early American republic.

This VG08 example certified by PCGS displays honest wear from its time in circulation during the nation's formative years. The coin exhibits a pleasing medium gray patina that has developed naturally over its 230-year existence. Despite moderate wear, the major design elements remain clearly visible, with Liberty's profile and the eagle on the reverse still well-defined. The surfaces show expected smoothing from circulation but are free from significant problems that often plague early federal coinage.

A wholesome, evenly worn early half housed in an old ANACS soapbox holder. Natural pewter-gray patina with deeper charcoal in the recesses and soft dove-gray on the high points gives this example a wonderfully original, circulated look. Rims are mostly complete with clear legends and date; stars are present and distinct for the grade. The reverse shows a bold wreath-and-eagle silhouette with scattered honest ticks and light marks, none distracting. No gloss, no wipe - just solid surfaces and eye appeal that’s exactly what you want at VG.

The 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar represents one of America's first silver denominations, produced during just the second year of U.S. Mint operations. With only 299,680 pieces struck and many lost to melting during silver price spikes, this issue stands as a cornerstone of early American numismatics. The United States Mint produced these coins during its formative years when striking technology was still developing, making well-preserved examples especially desirable.

This VG08 example, certified by PCGS, displays the honest wear of a coin that circulated during America's formative years. The surfaces exhibit a medium gray patina with even wear across the high points. Despite its circulation, the major design elements remain clear - Liberty's profile and flowing hair are still well-defined, while the eagle on the reverse retains its basic form amid the laurel wreath. The eye appeal is excellent for the grade, free from major marks or damage that often plague early silver of this era.

A wholesome, evenly circulated VF with honest dove‑gray patina and consistent wear across both sides — exactly what you want for an early half. The obverse shows pleasing contrast with a soft “circulated cameo” look; fields display only light, old abrasions and faint lines, with no distracting digs. Rims are sound for the grade, denticles mostly bold, and legends strong. The reverse is attractive and balanced, with clear feather detail and retained leaf definition that fits the assigned level. Eye appeal is solidly above average for a mid‑grade early piece. Housed in a modern PCGS shield holder, attributed on the label as Overton 122.

Classic early silver look with evenly circulated surfaces and some of the finest eye appeal we've ever seen for the issue. The skin is a wholesome blend of pewter and soft slate with subtle golden undertones, fully original and nicely matched on both sides. Detail is exactly where you want it for a solid mid- (or even high-) VF, with smooth fields and rims free of distractions. Housed in a PCGS OGH and blessed with a green CAC sticker, this example has that quietly confident, problem‑free look everyone chases.

Ughhhh this coin is so perfect. A delightful XF45 example with a medium gray patina that's developed naturally over centuries, providing a pleasing, authentic appearance. Both the obverse and reverse retain strong detail - Liberty's flowing hair shows clear definition, and the eagle's wing feathers remain well-defined. The fields show expected light circulation marks but remain remarkably clean for the grade. A textbook XF45 with just outstanding eye appeal.

This delightful CAC-approved VF35 Draped Bust half displays excellent eye appeal with original medium gray surfaces and natural, even wear patterns. The coin retains strong central detail on both Liberty's portrait and the eagle, with all stars clearly defined and readable date and lettering. The surfaces are remarkably smooth for the grade, showing minimal marks or disturbances. A solid, problem-free example of this early half dollar that perfectly represents the type.

The 1803 Draped Bust Half Dollar had a modest mintage of just 188,234 pieces, so examples that survived the rigors of circulation in quality XF condition like this one are genuinely scarce.

This PCGS XF40 displays excellent eye appeal with smooth, problem-free surfaces and attractive natural toning throughout. The wear is perfectly even and consistent with the grade, showing nice detail retention in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The coin has clearly avoided any harsh cleaning or environmental damage, presenting with the kind of original skin that makes early half dollars so appealing. A solid, honest example that would fit beautifully in any early type set.

Even, natural dove-gray with soft tan highlights gives this VF a wholesome, untouched look. Wear is balanced and honest, with strong central detail for the grade and clear legends. Surfaces are pleasingly smooth for an early half, showing only scattered ticks that are old and unobtrusive. The reverse retains good feather definition and crisp shield lines, adding to the eye appeal. Housed in a current PCGS gold shield holder, and PCGS nailed the grade here.

The 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar represents an important transitional period in early American coinage. The year 1806 saw substantial half dollar production, but finding CAC-approved examples in XF condition (or really any condition) remains challenging as most survived with significant wear or damage or were harshly cleaned at some point.

This NGC XF40 CAC example displays absolutely exceptional quality for the grade with attractive medium-gray patina throughout. The surfaces show honest wear consistent with the grade but remain remarkably free of distracting marks or problems. Liberty's hair details remain well-defined, and the eagle's wing feathers show impressive detail. The eye appeal is outstanding for a circulated early half dollar, with smooth fields and natural toning that enhances rather than conceals the coin's features.

The 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar represents the final year of this iconic early American series. This CAC-graded and approved AU50 example showcases excellent preservation for a circulated early half dollar.

The surfaces display appealing medium gray-brown toning throughout, with clean fields that are remarkably free of the heavy marks often seen on these large early silver coins. Liberty's portrait retains sharp detail in the hair curls and drapery, while the reverse eagle shows strong feather definition. The eye appeal is solid - a quality representative of this important final-year issue that clearly spent minimal time in circulation before being preserved.

The 1806/5 overdate represents a fascinating glimpse into early mint practices, when economy demanded the reuse of dies whenever possible. Rather than creating entirely new dies for 1806, mint workers simply punched a 6 over the 5 in the date, creating this distinctive variety that remains highly sought after today. The overdate is clearly visible under magnification, making this one of the more obvious and collectible overdates in the early half dollar series.

This PCGS VF20 Draped Bust half with CAC approval displays exactly the kind of honest wear and original surfaces that make early silver so appealing. The coin shows even circulation with no harsh marks or damage - just the smooth, natural wear you'd expect from a piece that saw regular use in commerce over two centuries ago. The eye appeal is excellent for the grade, retaining strong detail in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The surfaces have developed a pleasing medium gray patina that speaks to the coin's originality and long-term preservation.

An honest, choice VF Draped Bust half with great skin and balance. The coin shows even, natural dove‑gray patina with soft rose and gunmetal at the peripheries, smooth surfaces for the grade, and no distracting hits; rims are complete and unbruised. Wear is perfectly uniform with pleasing definition where it matters, and there are faint, original luster traces tucked into the stars and reverse wing crevices. A wholesome, CAC‑approved VF that delivers notably strong eye appeal in-hand.

This coin nails the strong XF look - evenly worn with solid definition under a totally original skin. The color is textbook old silver: pewter and antique silver-gray with subtle steel-blue and pale gold at the peripheries, with faint flashes of luster clinging in the protected curls and around the shield. Surfaces are smooth for the level, choice and undisturbed, with only a tiny spot near the obverse ribbon that is not at all distracting. Nicely centered rims and balanced devices add to the eye appeal. Housed in an NGC holder with the plus designation and a well-deserved green CAC sticker.

Choice and wonderfully original, this XF45 shows even, natural dove-gray patina with subtle lighter highlights and traces of luster tucked into the devices. Surfaces are pleasingly smooth for the grade with no cleaning or distracting hits; just honest wear and a few tiny rim ticks at 6 o’clock (both sides) and a faint old scuff in the left obverse field. Legends and rims are full, the strike definition is strong where it counts, and the overall eye appeal is decidedly above average. Housed in a current PCGS holder and carrying a green CAC sticker that feels well earned.

The 1808 Capped Bust half dollar marked the second year of John Reich's revolutionary new design, replacing the Draped Bust type that had been in use since 1796.

This PCGS VF25 example with CAC approval displays exactly what you want to see in a circulated early half dollar. The surfaces show smooth, even wear with no signs of harsh cleaning or environmental damage.

Housed in a clean NGC holder, this example offers notably pleasing eye appeal for an XF45.

The 1859-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar hails from the New Orleans Mint during a fascinating period just before the Civil War. With a mintage of 2.8 million pieces, this issue is considerably scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart. As tensions between North and South increased, many of these coins saw heavy circulation throughout the Southern states, making well-preserved examples particularly desirable.

This PCGS XF40 example displays impressive quality for the grade with even, medium-gray toning throughout. The surfaces show honest wear consistent with the grade, yet retain sharp definition in Liberty's drapery and the eagle's feathers. The fields are remarkably clean for a circulated New Orleans mint product, displaying minimal marks or abrasions. The original mint luster still peeks through in the protected areas, enhancing the eye appeal of this handsome pre-Civil War half dollar.

Wholesome, original surfaces with an even antique gray - tan patina and balanced wear give this example notably pleasing eye appeal for the grade. LIBERTY is mostly readable, stars and dentils are complete, and the reverse feathers and shield lines are nicely retained.

Housed in a modern PCGS holder and topped with a well-deserved green CAC sticker.

The reverse is smooth and problem‑free, with natural darker recesses accenting the devices. Eye appeal is quietly confident for the grade. Housed in an NGC holder and pedigreed to the John W. McCloskey Collection - a nice provenance for a tough 1866‑S No Motto.

The 1873-CC with arrows is a genuinely scarce coin that marks an important transition in American coinage. The arrows flanking the date were added to indicate a slight weight increase from 12.44 to 12.50 grams, and the Carson City Mint struck only 214,560 pieces. Most 1873-CC arrows halves that survived did so in lower grades, making even F12 examples relatively desirable among Carson City enthusiasts.

This PCGS F12 displays honest, even wear consistent with the grade. The surfaces show a pleasing medium gray patina with no major marks or problems - just natural circulation wear that has smoothed the high points while preserving the essential design elements. The eye appeal is solid for the grade, with clear date and mintmark visibility. A respectable example of this popular Carson City issue.

Strike is crisp with bold devices and sharp denticles, and the surfaces are nicely preserved for the grade, with only some scattered contact in the fields keeping it out of the next level.

The 1875 half dollar was struck during a period of economic recovery following the Civil War, with the Philadelphia Mint producing over 6 million pieces that year. While not originally scarce by any means, finding well-preserved examples with original surfaces, strong eye appeal, and mint state condition becomes increasingly challenging as these coins approach the century-and-a-half mark and survivorship totals dwindle.

This PCGS MS64 example showcases excellent preservation with vibrant cartwheel luster radiating across both sides. The surfaces display the kind of original, untoned silver-gray color that's becoming harder to find, with only minor contact marks appropriate for the grade. The strike is sharp throughout, with Liberty's details fully rendered and the reverse eagle showing crisp feather definition. The eye appeal is quite strong for an MS64, making this a solid representative of the type.

The 1876 Seated Liberty Half Dollar carries significant historical importance as it was minted during America's centennial year. While not particularly rare in terms of mintage figures, high-grade examples with CAC approval represent a small fraction of survivors, making this MS63 example especially desirable.

This CAC-approved coin packaged in a delightful OGH displays wonderful original surfaces with light silver-gray toning that deepens slightly toward the edges. The strike is bold, with crisp details visible in Liberty's drapery and the eagle's feathers. Under magnification, the surfaces show minimal bagmarks consistent with the MS63 grade, while the overall eye appeal is beyond exceptional for the grade. The fields retain substantial luster that swirls nicely when the coin is rotated under light, giving it a vibrant, dynamic appearance.

The 1877/6 overdate represents a fascinating piece of 19th-century Mint economy. When the Philadelphia Mint found itself with leftover 1876 dies as the new year began, they simply punched a \"7\" over the final \"6\" to create 1877-dated coins rather than waste the steel. This FS-301 variety shows clear evidence of the underlying \"6\" beneath the final \"7,\" making it a must-have for variety specialists and a wonderful conversation piece for type collectors.

This PCGS MS62 CAC example displays gorgeous original surfaces with rich golden-brown toning that's simply stunning under proper lighting. The CAC sticker confirms the coin's quality for the grade, and rightfully so - the surfaces are remarkably clean with only minor contact marks consistent with the MS62 designation. The overdate feature is clearly visible, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. The luster remains vibrant beneath the original patina, creating depth and character that makes this coin far more appealing than your typical business strike half dollar from the era.

Lovely, original pewter-gray skin with pale tan highlights and evenly balanced wear that fits the grade just right.

Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder and approved by CAC, this example checks all the boxes for a quality 1877-CC half in VF territory.

The 1877-S Seated Liberty half dollar represents solid collecting value from the final era of this long-running series. With a mintage of 5,356,000 pieces, it's not a rare date, but examples with original surfaces and solid detail like this one are always appreciated by collectors building sets or looking for representative type coins.

This PCGS XF40 displays excellent originality with smooth, even gray patina across both sides. The wear is perfectly consistent with the grade - Liberty's head shows light smoothness while maintaining sharp hair detail, and the shield lines remain crisp and well-defined. The reverse eagle retains full feather definition in the wings and breast. No significant marks or distractions interfere with the coin's solid eye appeal, making this an excellent example for the grade.

The 1879 Seated Liberty half dollar had a robust mintage of nearly 5 million pieces, making it one of the more available dates in the series. However, finding examples with original surfaces and appealing toning in higher mint state grades remains a challenge, as most survivors show significant handling marks or have been cleaned or otherwise processed over the decades.

This CAC-approved MS64+ example showcases exactly what makes original Seated Liberty halves so desirable. Beautiful peripheral toning frames both sides - electric blue and gold hues create a stunning contrast against the lustrous silver centers. The surfaces are remarkably clean for the grade, with only minor contact marks that don't detract from the overall eye appeal. Sharp strike details throughout and excellent preservation make this a standout example that CAC rightfully recognized as having met their tough grading standards.

Wholesome, evenly toned dove gray with a pleasing old-time skin and balanced wear that screams original. Soft, native luster peeks through the protected areas, giving the fields a gentle satiny glow. Details are strong for the grade with crisp lettering and feather definition, while only light, scattered contact keeps it squarely in mid AU.

Surfaces are choice for AU50 - just scattered ticks and some friction, nothing distracting - and the overall eye appeal is pleasingly balanced and natural.

Purely original and wonderfully wholesome, this example shows an even, antique silver-gray patina with warm golden accents hugging the obverse stars at right.

Detail remains strong in the feathers and drapery folds, with balanced, natural wear. PCGS got this one right, and the well-deserved green CAC sticker underscores the coin’s originality and eye appeal. Housed in a PCGS holder, fresh and ready for an advanced Seated half cabinet.

This is one of only 3 AU58s ever to earn the green CAC sticker and the only to appear in public auction, where it brought an astonishing $3120 way back in the pre-COVID dark ages of 2018. A true condition and CAC rarity.

Rich, album-style color makes this proof pop—electric blue and violet at the rims ceding to warm gold and apricot centers on both sides, the reverse especially vibrant. Mirrors are present but slightly muted by scattered hairlines, but nothing distracting in-hand and no meaningful hits. Devices are sharp and frosty, rims are clean, and the fields retain that watery proof flash under the toning. Housed in an older ANACS soapbox holder, this example offers far better eye appeal than the grade suggests and reads as an honest, original piece.

The 1891 proof Seated Liberty half dollar represents the final year of this beloved series, as production would cease after 1891 to make way for Charles Barber's new design.

This PCGS PR65DCAM exhibits the deep cameo contrast that makes some proof Seated Liberty halves so visually striking. The heavily frosted devices create a dramatic contrast against the jet-black mirrored fields, giving Liberty an almost three-dimensional appearance as she emerges from the dark background.

The eye appeal is exceptional - this coin delivers the full visual impact that proof collectors seek in this classic 19th century series.

Gem+ quality surfaces glow with satiny luster beneath an original skin of antique gold and champagne, ringed by hints of blue and pale lavender at the peripheries. The strike is bold with crisp feather detail and star centers, and the fields are impressively clean for the date. Certified in a CACG holder and sporting textbook gem eye appeal - a beautifully original, never-messed-with specimen that absolutely earns its CACG grade. We would not be surprised in the slightest to find this coin in a 66 or better holder at some point.

The 1893-S Barber Half Dollar stands as one of the key dates in this challenging series. With a mintage of just 740,000 pieces, it's one of the lowest production figures for any Barber half from the San Francisco mint. The economic troubles of the Panic of 1893 resulted in many of these coins seeing heavy circulation, making well-preserved examples particularly scarce.

This CAC-approved VG10 example offers exceptional eye appeal for the grade. The coin displays an attractive, even gray patina with honest wear consistent with its grade. Despite its time in circulation, the major design elements remain clear and well-defined, with Liberty's profile and the eagle's features still boldly visible. The distinctive \"S\" mintmark remains sharp and unmistakable. The smooth, problem-free surfaces indicate this coin circulated naturally without abuse or damage.

With a mintage of 5.5 million, this Philadelphia issue is more available than some of the key dates in the series, but still presents a challenge to find in higher grades.

The surfaces remain remarkably clean for a coin that saw brief circulation, with no distracting marks or abrasions to detract from its excellent eye appeal.

The 1901 Barber half dollar represents the early years of this classic series, struck during Charles Barber's tenure as Chief Engraver. With a mintage of over 4.2 million pieces, the Philadelphia issue isn't particularly scarce, but finding problem-free examples with original surfaces and good eye appeal becomes more challenging as you move up the grading scale.

This PCGS VF25 example displays exactly what you want to see in a mid-grade Barber half - honest wear with no distracting marks or issues. The surfaces show attractive medium-gray patina with excellent detail retention for the grade. Liberty's facial features remain sharp and the eagle's feathers show good definition. The coin has that appealing \"old silver\" look that comes from decades of natural aging, and the overall eye appeal is quite pleasing for a circulated example.

The 1915 Barber half dollar represents one of the final issues of this classic series, with production ending the following year. While not considered a key date with its mintage of 138,000 from Philadelphia, the 1915 is notably scarcer than many other dates in the series, particularly in nice circulated grades like this F15 example.

This CAC-approved coin displays even, medium-gray toning throughout both sides, with a pleasing, original appearance that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. The surfaces show honest wear consistent with the F15 grade, maintaining clear detail in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The fields are remarkably clean for a coin that spent time in circulation, with no distracting marks or damage. The eye appeal is excellent, with the original patina highlighting the design's architectural elements rather than obscuring them.

Blazing cartwheel luster rolls across satiny, undisturbed surfaces, framed by a soft champagne-gold skin with a faint whisper of ice-blue at the reverse rim.

The eye appeal is decidedly high end for the grade, and the well-earned green CAC sticker in a PCGS gold shield holder seals the deal on this standout 1915-D.

The 1917 Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents a pivotal year in American history as the United States entered World War I. Philadelphia mint examples like this one were produced in reasonable quantities (8.7 million), but finding specimens that retain significant mint luster after more than a century is increasingly difficult.

This CAC-approved AU58 example sits right at the cusp of uncirculated condition, displaying only the slightest trace of wear on the highest points. The coin exhibits impressive luster that cascades across the surfaces when tilted under light. A pleasing silver-white patina covers both sides, with subtle hints of natural toning developing around the peripheries. The strike is bold, with crisp details throughout Liberty's gown and the eagle's feathers. The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade - this is what we'd call a \"slider\" that could easily be mistaken for a mint state coin at first glance.

Original and wonderfully wholesome in a rare and choice grade, this AU58+ CAC reverse-mintmark Denver shows satiny, antique-gold and honey-tan patina with soft olive accents in the recesses and a steady glow of underlying luster. The high points show just a brush of friction, while the fields remain pleasingly clean for the grade. Detail is strong on Liberty’s skirt lines and the eagle’s breast and leg, giving this example notably above-average eye appeal. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder carrying a well-deserved green bean.

Blazing cartwheel luster pours across frosty, unmolested surfaces, with subtle champagne and pale blue peripheral color adding depth and balance to this exceedingly high quality example of a tough date.

We would not be surprised in the least to find this coin in an MS66 holder (and see its value double) one day.

The 1917-S Walking Liberty half dollar with its obverse mintmark represents a fascinating variety from early in the series' production. When the San Francisco Mint began striking these coins, they initially placed the \"S\" mintmark on the obverse below \"IN GOD WE TRUST\" - a placement that was quickly corrected partway through the year when dies were modified to move the mintmark to its intended location on the reverse.

This CAC-approved VF30 displays excellent originality with smooth, natural gray surfaces that show honest wear without any concerning marks or problems. The coin retains strong detail in Liberty's gown and the eagles feathers, with all major design elements clearly visible. The eye appeal is solid - exactly what you'd want in a mid-grade example of this elusive variety. A great opportunity to add this scarce mintmark placement to your collection at a reasonable grade level.

The 1918-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents a significant branch mint issue from the early years of this iconic series. With a mintage of just 3.8 million pieces and produced during America's involvement in World War I, these coins saw heavy circulation and many were melted during the silver rushes of the 1970s and 1980s. Finding a choice XF example with CAC approval is particularly noteworthy.

This PCGS XF45 CAC-approved example exhibits exceptional quality for the grade. The coin displays a pleasing light silver-gray patina with hints of original luster still visible in protected areas.

The CAC approval confirms this coin is solid for the grade and a superior example for type collectors.

The 1920-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar had a relatively modest mintage of 1,551,000 pieces. The Denver mint produced fewer half dollars this year as the nation adjusted to post-World War I economic conditions, making this date particularly desirable among early Walking Liberty issues.

This VF20 example, with CAC approval, displays honest wear consistent with its grade. The coin exhibits a pleasing medium gray patina that has developed naturally over its century of existence. Despite moderate circulation, the essential design elements remain clearly visible - Liberty's head and gown folds are well-defined, and the eagle's wing feathers show good detail for the grade.

The key date of the Walking Liberty series - the 1921-D - saw production of only 208,000 pieces. As the economic conditions during the early 1920s did not demand high quantities of half dollars, these coins were just not produced in large numbers. Finding any 1921-D in decent condition is a challenge, making this a must-have for any serious Walking Liberty collector.

This CAC-approved VF30 displays excellent eye appeal for the grade. The surfaces show even, natural wear with no troublesome marks or damage. Liberty's gown retains nice detail, and the eagle on the reverse shows solid definition in the feathers and breast.

All the major design elements remain crisp and well-defined, showing just the right amount of wear for the grade. The coin's originality shines through, making it an excellent representative of both the date and grade.

The 1929-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar was produced during the tumultuous year that marked the beginning of the Great Depression. While many coins from this era were lost to melting during the economic crisis, the Denver mint produced a respectable quantity of these halves just before the stock market crash that would change America's economic landscape for years to come.

This coin, graded AU58 by PCGS and bearing CAC approval, sits just below mint state classification with only the slightest traces of wear on the highest points. The surfaces display an attractive natural silver-gray patina with underlying luster that still flashes prominently when rotated in the light.

The CAC endorsement confirms this coin's superior quality within its grade - truly a premium example that just narrowly missed a full mint state designation.

This example offers pleasing, original dove-gray skin with a faint champagne wash and steady satiny luster that rotates nicely in hand.

Eye appeal is solid and even, with no spots or haze. Housed in a current PCGS holder and PCGS nailed the grade here.

The 1929-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar was produced during the final months of the Roaring Twenties, just before the stock market crash that would plunge America into the Great Depression.

The natural silver patina gives the coin an authentic appearance that CAC clearly appreciated when applying their coveted green sticker.

Silvery centers with pale champagne and wheat-gold rim toning set off satiny, unadulterated surfaces that cartwheel hard under light.

This CAC-approved AU58 example sits at the pinnacle of almost uncirculated grades, displaying exceptional eye appeal and original surfaces. The coin retains abundant mint luster that swirls vibrantly across both obverse and reverse fields. The minimal wear is confined to the highest points of Liberty's gown and left leg, with the eagle's breast feathers on the reverse showing similar slight friction. The fields remain remarkably clean for the grade with a pleasing silver-white patina that speaks to its originality. This is what AU58 should look like: a coin that at first glance appears uncirculated until closer inspection reveals only the slightest evidence of brief circulation.

Bright, satiny luster rolls across both sides, framed by attractive champagne-silver surfaces with light golden-russet accents at the rims. The strike is better than typical for the date, with crisp feather detail and excellent definition throughout. Cartwheel flash is strongest on the reverse, giving this example notably strong eye appeal for the grade. A touch of scattered contact in the right obverse field likely sets the ceiling, but CACG clearly liked the look - housed in their holder and it absolutely earns the 64.

The 1942-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck during a pivotal moment in American history, as the nation fully mobilized for World War II.

There are minimal hairlines and virtually no contact marks, consistent with the high grade. The strike is exceptionally sharp, with full detail on Liberty's hand and the eagle's feathers.

Proof Walking Liberty half dollars from 1937 are scarce, with a mintage of just 5,728 pieces. These were produced specifically for the growing collector market and represent some of the finest examples of Weinman's iconic design. The Philadelphia Mint struck these proofs with extra care, creating coins with deeply mirrored fields and sharply frosted devices that showcase every detail of Liberty's flowing gown and the majestic eagle reverse.

We don't typically deal in Details-graded coins, but made an exception with this one: It looks *really* good, and it's priced right. It shows honest wear from its time in circulation during the early American republic and despite being cleaned at some point in its 228-year history, the coin retains strong definition of the major design elements and very pleasing color and surfaces.

The obverse shows clear flowing hair details and visible stars, while the reverse eagle remains well-defined within its wreath. The medium gray patina has developed naturally over time, giving the coin an authentic appearance that speaks to its journey through American history.

This absolutely spectacular VG10 example shows honest wear consistent with its grade and a superbly pleasing medium gray patina that has developed over its 225+ years of existence.

The eye appeal is excellent for the grade, with even wear and no distracting marks or problems.

With only 160,295 pieces minted across all varieties, these coins saw heavy use in early American commerce, before being replaced by the Draped Bust design.

This NGC VG10 example shows honest wear consistent with a coin that circulated during the early Federal period. The surfaces display an attractive medium gray patina that has developed naturally over more than two centuries.

The reverse eagle retains good detail in the wings and wreath. This is an authentic piece of American history that has survived remarkably well considering its age and use in commerce.

The 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar represents the second and final year of America's first silver dollar design and the only readily collectible date. With the Flowing Hair series spanning just two years (1794-1795), these coins hold tremendous historical significance as the earliest large silver coins produced by the fledgling U.S. Mint.

This PCGS VF25 example displays outstanding eye appeal for the grade, with smooth, original gray surfaces that show honest circulation wear. The obverse retains strong detail in Liberty's hair and facial features, while the reverse eagle shows good definition in the feathers and wreath.

The 1798 Large Eagle dollar represents a pivotal moment in early American coinage, marking the transition from the Small Eagle reverse to the more heraldic Large Eagle design that would continue through 1803. This design change reflected the young nation's growing confidence and desire for more impressive, stately coinage. While the 1798 Large Eagle had a respectable mintage, most examples have been heavily circulated or damaged over the past two centuries, making solid choice examples increasingly scarce.

This CAC-approved VF25 displays excellent eye appeal with rich, even gray-brown toning across both sides. The wear is perfectly consistent with the grade - Liberty's hair details remain well-defined, and the reverse eagle retains sharp definition in the wings and shield. The surfaces are remarkably clean for a coin that's over 225 years old, showing minimal marks or distractions. The CAC sticker confirms this coin represents absolute quality for the grade...(and CAC is exceedingly picky on early federal coinage like this.)

The 1798 Draped Bust dollar represents a fascinating chapter in early American numismatics. Struck during a time when the young nation was establishing its monetary system, this date is particularly notable as it falls within the brief first series of silver dollars produced by the United States Mint from 1794-1803. These early dollars were the workhorses of commerce before production was suspended until 1836.

The surfaces are stable and unmessed-with in color, with natural circulation texture and no gloss. Some very minor old obverse scratches and a rim ding appear to account for the Damaged tag, yet the rims are otherwise sound and the reverse remains especially attractive for the grade level. A solid, problem-noted example housed in a clean NGC holder that will slot neatly into a circulated early dollar set.

The 1799 Draped Bust Dollar represents the early years of American silver dollar production, with only about 423,515 pieces struck at the Philadelphia Mint. As one of the early dates in the short-lived Draped Bust series, the 1799 holds particular appeal for type collectors and early American specialists. These dollars saw heavy use in commerce during an era when paper money was viewed with suspicion, making survivors in any grade increasingly scarce.

Eye appeal is quietly confident—problem-free, natural, and exactly what you want in a circulated early dollar. Housed in the current PCGS gold-shield holder, and PCGS nailed the grade here.

The 1799 Draped Bust dollar represents a significant year in early American coinage, with a relatively limited mintage of just 423,515 pieces. These early dollars served as the workhorses of commerce during America's formative years, and many were exported or melted for their silver content. The 1799 issue is particularly desirable as it marks the middle year of the Heraldic Eagle reverse design, which was produced for only five years (1798-1803).

This VF35 example shows honest wear consistent with its time in circulation. The surfaces display an attractive medium-gray patina that has developed naturally over the centuries. Despite moderate circulation, the key design elements remain well-defined: Liberty's hair details are still visible with good separation, and the eagle's wing feathers on the reverse show clear definition. The fields are remarkably smooth for the grade, free from the distracting marks or adjustment lines often found on early dollars. The eye appeal is exceptional for a circulated 18th-century dollar, with balanced wear and no significant flaws.

Handsome, evenly worn 1799 dollar in a vintage ANACS soapbox EF 40 holder, sporting original steel and gunmetal skin with subtle blue at the rims and warm gold in the lower obverse.

Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder, this specimen has that honest, untouched look we all crave.

The 1799 Draped Bust Dollar represents the early years of American silver dollar production, when the fledgling U.S. Mint was still finding its footing. With a mintage of 423,515 pieces, the 1799 is among the more available dates in the early dollar series, though \"available\" is a relative term when discussing coins that are over two centuries old. Most survivors show significant wear from heavy circulation during an era when these large silver coins saw active commercial use.

This PCGS AU50 example displays the hallmarks of a coin that saw only light circulation before being preserved. The surfaces show even, natural toning with gray-brown patina that speaks to decades of careful storage.

Eye appeal is solidly above average, and the well-earned green CAC sticker confirms the quality. Housed in a current PCGS Gold Shield holder.

The 1800 Draped Bust dollar represents a pivotal era in early American coinage. With a modest mintage of just 220,920 pieces, these early dollars served as workhorses of commerce during America's formative years. The turn-of-the-century date adds historical significance, marking the transition to the 19th century and the final years of the Federalist era in American politics.

This AU50 example certified by PCGS displays exceptional preservation for a coin over 220 years old. The surfaces exhibit a pleasing pearl-gray patina with subtle hints of original luster still visible in protected areas.

Minted during a time when silver dollars were primarily used in international trade rather than domestic circulation, the 1841 Seated Dollar had a modest mintage of just 173,000 pieces. This lower production figure, combined with the fact that many were either exported or melted down for their silver content, makes surviving examples genuinely scarce today.

We wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the label on this coin instead said XF40 or better.

Kind of a weird one here -- NGC as part of their bulk-grading programs in the past would only give broad letter grades vs. a specific numeric grade. This is one of those examples -- not a problem coin at all, just no specific numeric grade.

And the coin is indeed delightful. Honest wear from circulation with a pleasing medium gray patina that has developed naturally over more than 160 years. The obverse stars are still visible, and on the reverse, the eagle's wing feathers show reasonable detail.

Rims are sound, legends sharp, and the overall eye appeal is confidently above average for a circulated Seated dollar. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.

The 1869 Seated Liberty dollar is a true post-Civil War prize, with a remarkably low mintage of just 423,700 pieces.

The 1878-S Trade Dollar represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatic history. With a mintage of just 4,162,000 pieces, this issue was primarily intended for trade with China and other Asian markets rather than domestic circulation.

This CAC-approved VF35 example displays the honest wear of a coin that likely fulfilled its intended purpose in international commerce. The surfaces exhibit a pleasing medium-gray patina with subtle highlights that accentuate the design elements.

Some scattered friction in the obverse field keep it in the mid grade, but the look is all there and far nicer than a typical 63.

By 1882, Trade Dollars were no longer being struck for circulation, having been discontinued for that purpose in 1878. However, the mint continued producing proof examples specifically for the collector market through 1885. The 1882 proof had a mintage of just 1,097 pieces, making it a genuinely scarce coin.

This PCGS PR62DCAM example showcases exactly why the Deep Cameo designation exists. The mirrors are deep and reflective, creating a stunning contrast with the heavily frosted devices that seem to float above the surface. The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade - the surfaces are remarkably clean with only the most minor hairlines that keep it from a higher numerical grade. The strike is razor-sharp throughout, with every detail of Liberty and the eagle rendered in crisp relief. A beautiful example of this short-lived proof-only issue.

This first-year-of-issue Morgan dollar features the 7 tail feathers reverse, which was modified midway through production after the initial 8 tail feathers design was revised. The \"REV 1878\" designation indicates this coin bears the third reverse hub of 1878, used in the latter part of the year.

This CAC-approved MS62DMPL OGH example is a standout specimen with impressively reflective fields. While showing some light contact marks consistent with the MS62 grade, the pristine mirrors remain intact. The strike is bold and well-defined, with sharp detail throughout Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The untoned silver surfaces allow the coin's natural brilliance to shine through undiminished.

The 1878 Morgan Dollar with Reverse of 1879 represents a fascinating transitional variety in the first year of Morgan Dollar production. The original 1878 reverse design was quickly modified to show the eagle with more parallel arrow feathers and a flatter breast, creating what we now call the Reverse of 1879. This variety shows how the Mint was actively refining the design in real-time during the first year of production.

This MS63 example certified by ANACS displays strong cartwheel luster and crisp strike details, particularly evident in the eagle's breast feathers that define this variety. The surfaces show minimal bagmarks for the grade, and attractive original toning is beginning to form around the edges. The eye appeal is outstanding, with bright, flashy surfaces that really pop when the coin is tilted under light.

For variety specialists and Morgan Dollar enthusiasts, this represents an excellent opportunity to own a high-grade example of this important transitional design. The strong technical grade combined with the historical significance makes this coin particularly appealing.

This CAC-approved MS63 example 78-CC showcases exceptional quality for the grade. The surfaces exhibit brilliant luster with clean, minimally marked fields that exceed what's typically expected at this grade point.

The coin's natural silver-white surfaces remain untouched by artificial toning, giving it fantastic eye appeal.

The 1878-S Morgan represents the first year of production from the San Francisco Mint, with a mintage of just 9,774,000 pieces - significantly lower than Philadelphia's massive 19.9 million coin output that year. The VAM-27 Long Arrow Shaft variety (aka \"Long Nock\") is even more special, earning its place in the prestigious Top 100 VAM list due to its distinctive arrow shaft that extends notably longer than normal varieties. This makes it one of the most sought-after and collectible Morgan varieties.

This CAC-approved VF35 example displays excellent detail retention for the grade, with strong hair definition and clear facial features on Liberty. The surfaces show typical circulation wear but remain smooth and problem-free, exhibiting the kind of honest wear that CAC loves to see. The eye appeal is solid, with original gray-silver color and no distracting marks or issues. A fantastic opportunity to add this key variety to your collection at an accessible grade level.

The VAM 57 Long Arrow Shaft (aka \"Long Nock\") is one of the coveted Morgan varieties and stands as a significant die marriage from the inaugural 1878-S production. This variety is distinguished by the extended arrow shaft that extends well below the eagle's tail feathers - a dramatic die characteristic that makes identification straightforward. As a first-year San Francisco Morgan with major variety status, it holds dual appeal for both date collectors and variety specialists.

This XF40 example proudly sports its CAC sticker, confirming its quality within the grade. The surfaces display lovely original pewter-gray toning with no signs of cleaning or mishandling. Despite the expected high-point wear consistent with the XF grade, all major design elements remain sharp and well-defined. The eye appeal is excellent for a mid-grade circulated Morgan, and the variety's diagnostic features are clearly visible. A solid representative of this important early variety.

The strike is bold, with full definition on the high points and complete breast feathers on the eagle.

A pleasing, evenly worn semi-key CC that nails the Fine tier, with totally original dove-gray color and smooth, problem-free surfaces.

The 1880-CC Morgan represents one of the more available Carson City issues, but that's all relative - with a mintage of just 591,000 pieces, it remains a key date that's significantly scarcer than its Philadelphia and San Francisco counterparts. Carson City Morgans have always commanded a premium due to their Wild West heritage and the romantic appeal of the Nevada mint that served the Comstock Lode.

This CAC-approved MS65 example housed in an original OGH displays excellent eye appeal with blazing cartwheel luster and clean, well-preserved surfaces. The strike is sharp throughout, with full hair detail and crisp feather definition on the eagle. Light contact marks are minimal and well-hidden by the coin's brilliant luster.

The 1881-CC represents one of the more available Carson City Morgans, with a mintage of 296,000 pieces. While not as rare as some other CC dates, it remains a key coin for any serious Morgan dollar collection. The Carson City facility operated for only sporadic years, making all CC Morgans highly sought after. Most 1881-CC dollars remained in government storage until the great treasury releases of the 1960s, which is why higher grade examples like this one survived.

The 1881-CC Morgan Dollar stands as one of the most coveted Carson City issues from this iconic series.

Sharply struck with crisp hair and eagle feather detail, the surfaces are notably clean for the grade and deliver excellent eye appeal.

This MS64 example of a common date exhibits absolutely stunning and very uncommon rainbow toning that transforms an ordinary Morgan into a spectacular numismatic treasure.

The 1884-S Morgan dollar stands as one of the most elusive condition rarities in the entire Morgan dollar series. While its mintage of 3.2 million pieces might not suggest extreme rarity, this date is notoriously difficult to locate in high grades. Most examples were immediately released into circulation, with very few preserved in mint state condition.

This CAC-approved AU50 example displays the honest wear and patina that define a properly graded About Uncirculated coin. The surfaces retain significant original mint luster in the protected areas, with light, even wear across the high points. The coin has developed a pleasing silver-gray patina that enhances its original appearance. Despite its time in circulation, the eye appeal remains excellent with well-defined details, particularly in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. An exceptional representative of this challenging San Francisco issue.

The 1884-S is a semi-key date in the Morgan series with a mintage of just 3.2 million pieces - significantly lower than most other dates. Unlike many Morgan dollars that sat in Treasury bags for decades, most 1884-S coins were released into circulation relatively quickly, making higher grade examples genuinely scarce. Finding choice AU or better examples requires patience and often a willingness to pay strong money.

The 1885-O Morgan Dollar is common enough in circulated grades, but examples with true Deep Mirror Prooflike surfaces are genuinely scarce. The New Orleans Mint's production methods and die maintenance typically didn't lend themselves to creating the deeply mirrored fields required for the DMPL/DPL designation.

This NGC MS64 with CAC approval showcases exactly what makes prooflike Morgans so captivating. The deeply reflective fields create a stunning contrast with Liberty's frosted portrait, giving the coin an almost proof-like appearance.

Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder, this example presents exactly the look you want for a circulated Carson City key.

The 1889-CC represents one of the more available Carson City Morgan dollars, but that's a relative term when discussing CC mintages. With 350,000 pieces struck, it's far scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart's massive 21.7 million coin production. Carson City dollars remain among the most coveted in the entire Morgan series, as the frontier mint's romantic Old West heritage continues to captivate collectors decades after its closure.

This PCGS XF40 example displays excellent eye appeal with smooth, natural gray-brown toning across both surfaces.

The 1890-O Morgan Dollar is one of the more common New Orleans issues, with a mintage of over 10 million pieces. Unlike some of its scarcer O-mint siblings, the 1890-O was well-represented in the Treasury hoards that were released decades later. However, finding quality examples with original surfaces and strong eye appeal still requires patience.

This CAC-approved MS63 delivers exactly that - clean, lustrous surfaces with a sharp strike and excellent originality.

The New Orleans Mint struck over 10 million Morgan dollars in 1890, making this a relatively common date in the series.

This CAC-approved MS63 exhibits far better surfaces than typically seen from New Orleans. The coin displays vibrant cartwheel luster that rotates beautifully under light, with clean fields that show only minor contact marks appropriate for the grade. The strike is sharp throughout, with excellent detail in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. Original silver-white surfaces maintain their mint bloom, creating impressive eye appeal that easily justifies the CAC endorsement.

The 1890-S Morgan had a mintage of 8,230,373 pieces - respectable for the era but on the lower side compared to many Morgan dates. What makes San Francisco Morgans from this period more challenging is that they didn't benefit from the massive treasury bag releases of the 1960s. While Philadelphia and some Denver issues sat preserved in government vaults for decades, most San Francisco coins entered circulation and acquired the wear and tear that comes with commerce.

This PCGS MS65 example showcases exactly why gem San Francisco Morgans command attention. The surfaces display a lovely combination of satiny luster and original silver-white color with hints of golden toning around the peripheries. The fields are remarkably clean for the grade, showing only the most minimal contact marks that you'd expect from a coin that achieved MS65 status.

Excellent eye appeal in a PCGS gold shield holder, topped with a well-deserved green CAC sticker.

The 1891-CC Morgan Dollar stands as one of the most sought-after Carson City issues. While not the rarest CC-mint Morgan by mintage (with 1,618,000 produced), its enduring popularity stems from its association with the Wild West and the famous Nevada mint that processed silver from the legendary Comstock Lode. Carson City Morgans have always commanded a premium due to their historic significance and the mint's relatively short operational period.

This MS63 example certified by PCGS showcases bright, frosty luster with excellent eye appeal. The surfaces display minimal bag marks for the grade, and the strike appears sharp and well-defined throughout the high points. The fields are remarkably clean and reflective, with pleasing cartwheel effect when rotated under light.

The surfaces display lustrous, frosty fields with minimal marks for the grade. Light, attractive toning is beginning to form around the peripheries, while the central devices remain crisp with excellent definition in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The eye appeal is outstanding, with the coin showing signs of proper storage and handling throughout its 130+ year history.

The 1892-O Morgan dollar represents the first year that New Orleans struck silver dollars after an eight-year hiatus. While not particularly scarce with a mintage of 2.7 million pieces, the New Orleans Mint typically produced coins with weaker strikes than its Philadelphia or San Francisco counterparts, making well-struck examples like this one considerably more desirable.

This CAC-approved MS63 example boasts exceptional eye appeal for the grade. The coin displays vibrant, frosty luster with beautiful rainbow toning forming around the peripheries. The fields are remarkably clean for an MS63, with fewer bagmarks and much better luster & \"pop\" than typically seen at this grade level.

The original surfaces and natural color progression suggest this coin has been well preserved since the day it was minted.

With a mintage of just 378,792 pieces from the Philadelphia Mint, the 1893 Morgan stands as one of the scarcer dates in the series.

A solid choice for a date set or type collection seeking an affordable example of this scarce date.

The 1893 Morgan Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint is a particularly sought-after coin due to its low mintage of just 389,000 pieces.

This CAC-approved AU53 example shows the ideal traits of a lightly circulated Morgan. The coin displays a pleasing pewter-gray patina with hints of original luster still visible in the protected areas. The high points show honest wear consistent with the grade, while the fields remain relatively clean with minimal marks or abrasions. The reverse eagle retains excellent feather definition, and the overall eye appeal is superior for the assigned grade. A handsome representative of this popular 19th-century silver dollar.

The 1893 Morgan Dollar is one of the semi-key dates in the series, with a mintage of just 378,792 pieces - significantly lower than most other Philadelphia issues. This was the beginning of the end for regular Morgan production, as economic conditions were shifting and silver dollar demand was waning. Finding original, problem-free examples becomes increasingly challenging as the date gets scarcer.

This CAC-approved AU53 is a textbook example of the grade with strong remaining detail and excellent eye appeal. The surfaces display original silver-gray patina with no signs of cleaning or other issues. Luster peeks through in the protected areas, particularly around the lettering and devices.

The 1893-CC Morgan dollar represents the final year of coinage from the legendary Carson City Mint, making it one of the most historically significant issues in the Morgan dollar series. With a modest mintage of just 677,000 pieces, this coin has always been in high demand as both the last Carson City dollar and a key semi-key date for the series. The closure of the Carson City Mint after 1893 makes this coin the final chapter in Nevada's silver dollar production story.

This VG10 example, with CAC approval, exhibits honest wear from circulation during the days when silver dollars were workhorses of commerce in the American West.

CAC's endorsement confirms this is a superior example within its grade range, with excellent eye appeal for a well-circulated Morgan dollar.

The 1893-CC Morgan dollar represents the final hurrah for Carson City silver dollar production. With a mintage of just 677,000 pieces, it was already scarce from the start, but the real damage came during the 1918 Pittman Act when hundreds of thousands of CC Morgans were melted down. This makes survivors like this one all the more significant in the collecting world.

The 1893-S Morgan Dollar stands as the undisputed king of the circulation strike Morgan series. With a tiny mintage of just 100,000 pieces, it's the rarest date among business strike Morgans.

The 1894 Morgan Dollar stands as one of the most important dates in the Philadelphia Mint's production of this iconic series. While not as famous as the 1893-S or 1895 Proof, the 1894 still saw a relatively modest mintage of just 110,000 pieces - making it a significant semi-key date that's often overlooked by more casual enthusiasts.

The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade, with just the right amount of detail remaining on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers.

The 1895-O Morgan dollar stands as one of the most coveted \"semi-key\" dates of the series.

The 1896-O Morgan Dollar ranks among the tougher New Orleans issues to locate in high grades. While the mintage of 4,900,000 pieces was respectable, most examples saw heavy circulation in the South and West, making AU and better specimens genuinely scarce.

PCGS clearly got this one right, and the eye appeal is all there in hand.

The 1900-O/CC represents one of the most popular and widely collected varieties in the entire Morgan Dollar series. This overmintmark occurred when the New Orleans Mint reused dies that had previously been sent to Carson City, creating a clear \"CC\" mintmark visible beneath the \"O\". The variety was first discovered in the 1960s and has since become a must-have for serious Morgan collectors, as it provides tangible evidence of the mint's die recycling practices during this era.

A high-end, vibrant O/CC with serious eye appeal in a fresh, current PCGS holder.

The 1900-S Morgan dollar represents an interesting piece of San Francisco Mint history.

The surfaces are exceptionally clean for the issue, with a notably smooth cheek and crisp devices, while pale champagne at the rims slides into bright, silvery centers for lively eye appeal. A couple of tiny ticks in the left obverse field keep it out of the next level, but this coin still screams high-end and looks every bit the part in hand.

The 1921 Peace Dollar represents a pivotal moment in American numismatic history as the first year of issue for this iconic series. Rushed into production in late December 1921, these dollars were struck in high relief, creating a stunning artistic effect but proving impractical for mass production. The design was modified to lower relief for subsequent years, making these 1921 high relief examples true one-year type coins.

This PCGS MS63 example showcases the distinctive high relief design with remarkable clarity. The surfaces display attractive satin luster with minimal bag marks for the grade. The striking detail is exceptional, with Liberty's hair strands and the eagle's feathers showing bold definition rarely seen on later dates. The coin has developed a light, even patina that enhances its eye appeal without diminishing the impressive relief.

The 1921 Peace Dollar holds the distinction of being the first year of this iconic series and the only year struck in high relief. The high relief design created significant production challenges at the Philadelphia Mint, with the coins requiring multiple strikes and causing excessive die wear. This led to the design being modified to low relief for all subsequent years, making the 1921 high relief a one-year type coin that's essential for any serious Peace Dollar collection.

The high relief design required multiple strikes and caused excessive die wear, making it impractical for mass production. This makes the 1921 High Relief a one-year type coin that's essential for any serious Peace Dollar collection.

Authorized by the Act of March 3, 1849, these coins were struck using California gold fresh from the rush that had begun the year before. The \"No L\" designation simply indicates the standard Type 1 variety, where the \"L\" of Longacre's initial is absent from the wreath on the reverse. With a mintage of 688,567 pieces, the 1849 saw heavy production to meet the demand for small denomination gold coins during this exciting period in American history.

High-grade survivors like this one represent a small fraction of the original mintage.

The 1860 represents a solid middle-date in the Type 3 Gold Dollar series, with a respectable mintage of 36,668 pieces. While not rare by gold dollar standards, finding nice uncirculated examples like this one becomes increasingly challenging as most were heavily circulated or melted during various gold recall periods.

As silver dollars designed specifically for the Hawaiian kingdom, they've become coveted rarities, especially in higher grades. Most examples entered circulation and remained there for extended periods, making choice XF specimens like this one particularly desirable.

This CAC-approved XF45 example displays impressive quality for the grade. The surfaces exhibit an attractive, even gray patina that has developed naturally over time. Despite moderate circulation, the intricate details of the royal Hawaiian coat of arms remain sharp and well-defined, with impressive detail in the shield and royal mantle. The portrait shows strong definition with minimal wear on the high points. The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade, with clean fields that show fewer marks than are typically encountered on circulated Hawaiian dollars.

Mint errors don't get much cooler than this. These 1981-P nickels somehow got mated together during the striking process, creating a fascinating two-coin error that's been certified as a matched pair by NGC. Mated pairs occur when two planchets get fed into the coining press simultaneously and struck together - it's an extremely rare mint error that error collectors absolutely love. The fact that both coins survived the process and remained together makes this even more remarkable.

The primary coin earned a solid MS66 grade with excellent luster and clean surfaces, while its mate received UNC Details due to scratches likely sustained during the mating process itself. You can clearly see how the coins are physically joined together, creating this unique numismatic oddity. The eye appeal is fantastic - not just for the individual coin quality, but for the sheer novelty of seeing two nickels that literally went through the minting process as conjoined twins. A perfect conversation piece that showcases just how wild things can get at the mint.

A dramatic multi-struck bonded foldover cent, all as-made and wildly three-dimensional, with blazing red flashes over steel-gray exposed zinc and crisp flow lines lighting the ridges - the eye appeal is immense and the wow-factor is even more immense. Multiple incuse and raised fragments of legends and rims are visible across the accordion-like folds, and the luster pops from every angle, especially on the copper-plated facets. Surfaces are fresh for the grade with only a trace of mellowing on a few high ridges. Housed in the desirable ANACS soapbox holder, this specimen delivers the kind of factory chaos error specialists crave.

Dramatic double-denomination overstrike with bold dime undertype wrapping the peripheries - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DIME leap out around both sides while Roosevelt’s profile ghosts through the Lincoln Memorial. Satiny, bright silver-gray surfaces show lively cartwheel and crisp cent details, especially on the reverse where the Memorial is sharply defined atop the dime’s rims. The piece sits in an NGC holder with the full Mint Error attribution for overstruck on 1985‑P dime. A few tiny carbon specks and a small amber spot at the reverse rim are noted, but the eye appeal for an MS-level error is terrific.

Mated pairs represent one of the most exciting categories in error numismatics - two coins that were literally created together during a single catastrophic minting event. When a struck coin fails to eject from the die chamber, it can create a brockage (mirror image) on subsequent planchets while simultaneously receiving additional strikes itself. Finding both coins from such an event and keeping them together as a mated pair is exceptionally rare, making this 2000 Lincoln cent duo a genuine numismatic treasure.

The visual drama of this pair is absolutely stunning. Coin #1 displays a bold brockage where Lincoln's portrait appears as a ghostly mirror image overlaying the normal obverse design, creating an almost surreal double-exposure effect. Coin #2 shows the corresponding deep indentations from being struck by its mate, with pronounced concave impressions that mirror the relief of the other coin. Both pieces retain beautiful original copper-red surfaces with strong underlying luster despite the mechanical trauma they endured. The eye appeal is remarkable - these errors tell the complete story of their violent birth at the mint in vivid, three-dimensional detail.

The 1836 Gobrecht dollar is a notable piece in American numismatics, representing an important transition period in the U.S. Mint's history. Named after its designer, Christian Gobrecht, this dollar features the iconic Seated Liberty design. The restrike version, cataloged as Judd-60, was created to cater to collector interest and used the same dies as the original issue.

This coin is graded PR62 by PCGS, indicating it has pleasing surfaces with some minor hairlines, but nothing significant to detract from its overall eye appeal. The coin exhibits strong details with reflective fields, and the devices maintain sharpness typical of the proof strikings of the era. The coin’s luster and originality add to its desirability, making it an excellent addition to any advanced collection.

Fresh, original Proof with even dove-gray and champagne-gold toning that suits this what-might-have-been pattern Seated half perfectly. Liberty sits with Mercury-esque fasces and the bold, powerful eagle on the reverse looks ready for battle.

The mirrors are still plenty lively for the grade, with soft frost on the devices. A light old wipe in the left obverse field hold it to 62, though there are no distracting hits and only a couple of tiny rim ticks visible under close light. Sharply struck with squared rims and pleasing reflectivity that pops in-hand. Housed in a modern PCGS gold shield holder with the J-235 attribution on the label - eye appeal comfortably above average for the grade.

The J-237 pattern represents one of the experimental half dollar designs considered by the U.S. Mint in 1859. Featuring Longacre's \"French head\" design (though research has questioned whether this might be a Paquet design instead), pattern coins like this were struck in extremely limited quantities as the Mint explored potential design change. As a pattern, this coin holds exceptional numismatic importance - these weren't intended for circulation but rather served as proposals for what American coinage might become.

This PCGS PR63CAM example with CAC approval showcases the beautiful cameo contrast that makes early proof patterns so desirable. The deeply mirrored fields provide a striking backdrop for the frosted devices, creating that classic \"black and white\" effect. Some light hairlines and minor contact marks are visible, consistent with the PR63 grade, but the overall eye appeal remains strong. The CAC approval confirms this coin meets their strict standards for the grade, making it a solid choice for pattern enthusiasts seeking both historical significance and visual appeal.

Classic Feuchtwanger metal with an even pewter-olive patina and pleasing, well-balanced wear that fits the VF tier perfectly. The eagle’s feathers and the reverse wreath show strong definition for the grade, with smooth, natural surfaces that read original under magnification. Eye appeal is solid - the coin has that honest, circulated look collectors want without distractions. Housed in a current PCGS holder, this example is a satisfying, no-questions piece for a cabinet that values originality.

Lewis Feuchtwanger's 1837 tokens represent a fascinating chapter in early American numismatic history. This German immigrant and chemist created these pieces from his patented \"German silver\" alloy (actually a nickel-copper-zinc composition) and petitioned Congress to adopt his metal for official U.S. coinage. While his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, these tokens circulated widely in New York and remain among the most important and historically significant of all early American private issues.

This PCGS XF45 example displays excellent detail retention and pleasing surfaces for the grade. The eagle's feathers remain well-defined, and the reverse lettering is bold and clear throughout. The coin shows an attractive medium gray patina with good eye appeal and minimal distracting marks. The surfaces are smooth and even, with the typical wear patterns expected for a choice XF grade. A solid representative example of this important early American token.

The 1837 Feuchtwanger token represents one of the most fascinating chapters in American numismatic history. Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger, a German immigrant and chemist, struck these tokens in his \"German silver\" composition as a demonstration to Congress that his metal alloy was superior to copper for coinage. Though his proposal was ultimately rejected, these privately-issued pieces circulated alongside official federal coinage and are among the most historically significant of all American tokens.

This PCGS VF20 example shows honest wear from circulation with well-preserved details throughout. The allegorical scene remains sharp and clear, with good definition in the drapery and facial features. The surfaces display even gray toning with some scattered dark spots on the obverse - typical for the composition and age. The reverse is particularly nice, showing crisp lettering in both the central denomination and the surrounding company name. A solid, problem-free example of this important piece of American monetary history.

A cent with the obverse a quarter eagle! An experiment from a timer when the mint considered complete standardization across all denominations (we're glad this exists but also glad they didn't go with it ;)

Silvery-pewter proof surfaces with soft gold and ice-blue overtones give this J-150 real presence, the fields showing good mirror flash against delicately frosted devices for a pleasing contrast. Sharply struck throughout with crisp rims and fully defined leaves on the reverse wreath. The look is original and even, with just a touch of faint field friction that caps the grade. Housed in an earlier-generation holder, augmented by an Eagle Eye Photo Seal and a well-deserved green CAC sticker - the eye appeal is confidently above the assigned number.

This 1869 quarter (J-730) is a remarkable piece of pattern coinage reflecting a fascinating period of experimentation in U.S. Mint history. Patterns like this represent test designs or compositions, often produced in limited numbers, making them highly sought after.

Graded PR64RD by PCGS, this coin is a splendid example of a proof with remarkable details, radiant color, and original red surfaces. Struck in copper with a plain edge, this is one of our namesake coins - a Rarity 7 with less than 12 known surviving examples. A truly rare coin.

This 1869 quarter (J-731) is a remarkable piece of pattern coinage reflecting a fascinating period of experimentation in U.S. Mint history. Patterns like this represent test designs or compositions, often produced in limited numbers, making them highly sought after.

The Standard Silver design was produced in small quantities and sold directly to collectors. Of course, numismatics was in its infancy in the US in the mid-1800s, so only a few sets were produced and sold.

Graded PR66CAM by PCGS, this coin is a splendid example of a proof with remarkable details and frosty cameo surfaces. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge, this is one of our namesake coins - a Rarity 7 with less than 6 known surviving examples. PCGS has registered only 5 grading events in total, and only 2 with the Cameo designation. A truly rare coin.

One of the most jaw-dropping and heart-stopping coins we've ever handled. In an NGC holder as J-1120 w/ a well-earned Cameo designation, this pattern shows bold contrast with deep, glassy mirrors framed by thick, frosty devices. The fields wear an even steel-blue to gunmetal patina with subtle violet and golden iridescence at the rims, giving it confident eye appeal. Struck up crisply, the devices are sharp and undisturbed, while a handful of light lines - plus a whisper of field friction at right obverse - define the assigned grade. A handsome, original Cameo specimen that wows in hand.

A silver cent! Struck on a 90% silver 10c blank, this silver-toned cent shows the dramatic reduced diameter with peripheral loss of lettering while retaining a bold date and mintmark. Satiny cartwheel luster rolls across frosty, nickel-white surfaces with wisps of champagne and pale blue at the rims. The strike is impressively even for the off-metal host, delivering sharp central detail on both sides. Choice Mint State eye appeal in an NGC Mint Error holder noting 2.5 g, with only some minor surface toning otherwise limiting the grade.

A wild mint error nickel with serious eye appeal - a massive broadstrike out of collar (noted as such on the holder: Huge!) featuring an estimated 90 percent uniface obverse and a centrally bold reverse, the devices crisp with wide unstruck crescents at 6 and 12. Lustrous Gem surfaces beam with bright cartwheel, shaded in champagne gold and cool ice-blue. The uniface side shows silky planchet texture and is virtually free of distractions - just a tiny pinpoint on that face noted. PCGS holder correctly attributes “Huge B/S & 90% Uniface,” and the Gem level is well earned.

This 1776 Continental Currency dollar is a significant piece of American history minted during the Revolutionary War. Often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, though more recent research by David McCarthy calls its entire original backstory into question. Regardless, it's a major numismatic rarity and exceedingly significant piece.

Graded MS62 by PCGS and adorned with the coveted CAC sticker, this coin offers exceptionally well-preserved details for its age. The surfaces are smooth with a pleasing, even patina that adds to its historical authenticity. The devices are sharp and clear, displaying minimal contact marks. This coin's substantial eye appeal makes it a captivating addition to any collection, capturing a pivotal moment in numismatic history.
