Sonoran Monsoon 的钱币相册
Common B5, B-27, R1. Die state II. Iridescent rim toning with gray centers.
The right obverse field is repaired with considerable tooling and smoothing. The surfaces are faint grayish-gold with a few hairlines and a minor reverse rim bump. Approximate grade: VF-20
Bowers -Borkhardt die state II. B-4, BB-61, R.3. Auqua blue, lavender, and light gray patina on both sides.
Enviromental damage. Coin formally slabbed by NCS with a "good-enviromental damage" label.
10x6 Large letters. B-3, BB-71, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. (Formally encapsolated in a NCS holder, VG details repaired, inproperly cleaned). Coin is thickly hairlined with steel-gray fields and pearl-gray devices. Appears to be carefully smoothed to remove marks. The reverse peripheral legend is faint, the types are well outlined and the portrait has some remaining hair detail.
Golden-amber patina with a hint of gun metal blue in the fields. Splotchy toned marks near edges. Formally housed in a NGC F-15 holder.
Very tough coin to find. Only a few have made it into a PCGS holder. 5 Stripes, knob 9. B-6b, BB-96, R.3, Die state 5. This piece seems to have characteristics of both die states 4 and 5. The die cracks of state 5 are present on both sides, yet the reverse has not been relapped. Both of the headless arrow shafts are visible, rather than being invisibe from die lapping as one would expect. This coin has considerable luster for the grade. Wear is consistant with XF-45. Pale amber and iridescent toning throughout. CAC sticker.
Plenty of luster remaining. Well worn, but within grade parameters.
7x6 stars. B-16, BB-158, R-2. Die state 3. Stone-gray through Walnut-brown toning. Some sky blue apparent. Upper reverse has faint mint-made roller marks. The reverse at 3 o'clock is slightly hairlined and has a small rim nick.
This coin has few light rim marks, none major. Wear is consistant with VG-10. Violet irridescence on even brown toning. A few very dark toned spots visible only when viewed straight on. A bit of luster remains. Previously housed in a NGC F-12 holder (I think the PCGS VG-10 is a bit more accurate, perhaps NGC was considering market grading, perfectly understandable).
B-15,BB-195,R.4. "10 arrows" reverse with 3 arrowheads not connected to shafts. Green CAC sticker. Green-gold and silver-blue patina.
Americai, Wide date, Low 8. B-11, BB-191. You never know where you are going to find a coin you need. I found this one at a non-major show in my home town. Pedigree: Hesselgesser

B-1, BB-211, R3. Bowers Die State II. This is the only 1801 variety with arrowhead beneath "U" in United,
Although this example is a problem coin, it is a very difficult coin to find in any condition. This coin has unnatural luster from whizzing. Small rim ding at 9 o'clock. Obverse has been lightly filed near 10:30.
1846 was the first year the New Orleans mint introduced the silver dollar. 59,000 were minted, a large enough number to satisfy collector demand, but low enough to prevent an huge surplus supply on the market.
Toned with various shades of grays and blues around the devices. Strong strike. Coins history: John Kardatzke Collection, sold at Goldberg's auction February 2000; Morris Silverman's Collection, sold at Heritage auctions April 2002.
The 1851 and 1852 dollars are very difficult to come by. During those years the price of silver reached $1.03 an ounce, exceeding the face value. As a result, very few made it into circulation. This example is evenly toned with reds and violets. A decent amount of luster remaining. Average strike. A few marks throughout, none serious.
Light gold toning with semi-prooflike surfaces and virtually no bag marks. Well struck with flash luster.
Plenty of silver luster. Strong strike. Some toning near rims. Fewer marks than most seated dollars.
A lot of luster still remaining, nice example for the grade. Formally in NGC XF-45 holder.
With the end of the Civil War, and mourning the loss of 600,000 people, a proposal was accepted to add the motto "In God We Trust" to silver coins with denominations higher than the dime.
Repunched Date variety. Traces of smaller date logo visible with loupe. Silver-gray with mottled reddish-copper iridescence at edges. Good strike on devices for grade, without any significant abrasions. Crossed over from NGC AU-55 holder.
Light silver, virtually untoned. Hints of the prooflike flash common to high grade CC's are still notable around the devices. Rare date.
Nice for the grade with origional golden brown tone. A few bag marks, but fewer than most. A very tiny reverse rim bump is the only notable mark. Tough rare date.
Appears lightly cleaned, but PCGS thought the cleaning was harsh, hence the genuine holder. Very light gold toning throughout. Some minor obverse rim marks, appear to be as-minted planchet porosity.
Retooled. A real shame. If left alone, the coin had enough detail and luster to grade AU-50 on its own merit. Unfortunately, some greedy person was probably trying to get it up to an uncirculated grade by retooling the coin. Formerly in a NGC AU-58 holder. It was a tough decision whether to lose perceived equity in the coin by crossing it to a PCGS Genuine holder. Due to the low population of the coin overall, I decided to cross it for my PCGS set; as it is a tough coin to come across in any grade.
Wear is consistant with given grade. Dark gray fields contrasted with lighter reliefs. Problem free coin.
Luster is so intense, that cartwheels can be viewed going in both directions at the same time. Surfaces are practically mark free, only a few very light scuffs can be noted. Golden brown toning near edges. Strong strike. Excellent eye appeal. CAC sticker on holder.
Reverse of 1878. Frosty luster. Marks consistant with grade. Average strike.
Very frosty luster. Well struck. A few typical small marks for a Morgan of this grade.
Blast white. Superb strike, very clean surfaces for grade. Purchased from Steve Twitty at PQ Dollars.
Vam 4, Top 100 variety. This "O/S Recessed" VAM, with the undermintmark placed slightly lower within the prominent O, relative to the VAM 3. This coin is well struck, near gem. Light golden toning at rim. Luster is frosty with unencumbered cartwheel sheen
Strong strike. Frosty luster with amazing cartwheels. Very few marks. CAC sticker.
Slightly frosty luster and average strike. Contact marks are light, but numerous.
Frosty luster. Strong strike. Some light scratches on obverse, no notable marks on reverse. A small dark toned spot on lower jaw is the only thing that hurts the eye appeal a bit.
Although a common date, this VAM-10 is a bit of a conditional rarity. A real beauty. Coin has an extremely strong strike, rarely seen in a New Orleans Morgan. Strong luster with light golden toning around edges of both sides. Contact marks are light and not too numerous.
Above average strike. Plenty of luster remaining, with just a hint of golden toning near the rim. Friction marks typical for the grade.
Vam 4 is depicted by a thick dash under the second 8 in date. Average to above average strike. Maybe a few more contact marks on obverse than most in this grade.
Frosty with above average strike (eagle claws a bit weak, otherwise well struck). Marks are few and light, but a bit too numerous to grade higher.
Flat to somewhat satiny luster. Below average to average strike. Marks are numerous, but light.
Frosty luster with toning near edges. Above average strike. A few light dings on reliefs and light scratches on fields. Encapsolated in old green holder.
The Vam 2 7/6 overdate is easily determined under light magnification. The bottom loup of the 6 shows as a long curved line starting up from the lower right bottom of the 7, and extends upward about 1/3 of the 7's height. This is one of only a handfull of Vam 2's that have been graded prooflike by PCGS.
Frosty luster. Strong strike. Several marks typical of grade. Dark toning beginning to emerge on reverse.
The 7/6 overprint (Vam 3) is considered a major variety. The outside curve of the 6 is slightly visible at the lower right of the 7. This coin has a satiny luster and weak strike. Marks are numerous on obverse, not as bad on reverse.
Very frosty luster. Bright white. Above average strike. Several light marks as expected for given grade.
Very nice eye appeal. Above average strike. Frosty luster with golden-red toning beginning to emerge. Marks are few and light.
Nice example of the Obverse Double die. Friction well is consistant with AU-55. Flat to satiny luster still remaining. Strike appears to be about average.
Looks like this was a strongly struck coin, as the wear is minamal for an XF-40. The eye appeal may have knocked it down a notch, although there is a slight reddish toning overall, the black splotches are somewhat distracting.
The 1893-S had the lowest mintage of the Morgan dollars making it one of the more expensive dates to acquire. This example has good luster remaining. Significant rubbing above eye and ear on obverse, as well as eagles breast on reverse.
Beautifully toned with blues and reds throughout. Frosty luster with above average strike. Several light marks.
Frosty luster, with almost prooflike fields. Strong strike. Several light scuff marks.
Satiny luster. Average strike. Only a few light marks. Dark toning spot on reverse.
Very frosty luster. Strong strike. A small ding on upper neck is and a couple of light scratches on obverse field kept this coin from grading higher. Excellent eye appeal. Housed in an old green holder.
Frosty luster. Strong strike. Very few marks for the grade. Spotty dark toned areas near the edges.
Deeply toned with reds and blues. Slightly frosty luster. Strong strike. Several ight marks.
Despite the high mintage, this coin is difficult to find in higher greades. This example has nearly a full strike, with a very strong wreath on reverse. Frosty luster with a hint of patina. Very few marks. Encapsulated in old green holder.
The high relief Peace dollars of 1921 had significant strike problems, this was a main reason for the mint to shift to a regular strike in the following years. This example is poorly struck, most notable in the hair. Satin luster, with relatively few marks.
Silver frosty luster. Well struck. No notable marks other than a small rim ding near tail feathers. CAC sticker.
A couple of dings above the nose and eye, otherwise fairly mark free. Satin to slightly frosty luster. Average strike.
Slightly frosty luster. Average strike. Relatively few marks, compared to most Peace dollars.
Satiny luster with strong cartwheels. Small area of luster grazes near obverse rim. Above average strike. Excellent eye appeal. Old green holder. CAC sticker.
Slightly frosty luster. Untoned, bright white. Strong strike. Several light scratches and dings.
Slightly frosty luster with mottled golden brown toning. Average strike. A few scattered marks.
Wear is consistant for grade. A decent amount of luster remaining. Coin is a bit crusty for my taste.
Very strong strike. Almost no marks. Pinkish-gold toning surrounded with a hint of blue at edges of obverse.
Very strong strike. Almost no marks. Pinkish-gold toning surrounded with a hint of blue at edges of obverse.
The type 1 is distinguished by a low relief or weak earth in the background of the vignette on the moon. Both sides of this example are strongly lustrious under light gold to orange patina with a squared off area of darker shading at the reverse interior.
The type 3 has the Carribean Islands beneath and to the left of Florida. The overall relief and details are strengthened. This example has a slightly frosty luster with a hint of overall bronze colored toning. Above average strike. A few light marks.
The 1973-P and 1973-D were issued only in mint sets, limiting the numbers available to about 2 million each. This example has brilliant luster over light gold toned surfaces. Very few contact marks. Previosly owned by Grandam.

The wounded eagle, also known as the speared eagle, has a die gouge that goes through the body of the eagle.
General Mills added this Sacagawea dollar in some of their Cheerios boxes. A total of 5,500 were released. It is unknown how many were spent. It was later discovered that these coins were made from a different die than was used later for the business strikes that were relased later. The "Cheerios" variety has more defined wing and tail feathers than coins released for circulation.
