1842 1/2C Original PR66RD PCGS #1262

CAC - This Premium Gem proof is stunning. Walter Breen discussed this piece in his Half Cent Encyclopedia: "At least one has the same kind of fiery brilliance as the 1841's; I have not seen this piece recently enough to verify if it also has the peculiar edge of the 1840 coins on this stock [Ex Charles A. Cass, "Empire": 107.] Others are more subdued in color, even when mint red." Richard T. Coleman, Jr. has extended the provenance of this piece back to the 1895 Richard B. Winsor sale of the Chapman brothers. A hint of light brown that has formed on the fiery orange surfaces of this amazing piece. Ex: Donald G. Partrick Collection

1898 1C PR67CAM PCGS #82383

CAC - The surfaces are smooth, serene and border on perfection. The finish combines bright reflectivity in the fields with a soft satin texture to the devices, resulting in the coveted Cameo rating from PCGS. Fully struck with gorgeous reddish-orange color

1881 5C PR67DCAM PCGS #93836

CAC - Ex. Gerald Forsythe Collection

1910 5C PR68DCAM PCGS #93908

CAC - The Only PR68 Deep Cameo Certified in the Series. The fields show astounding depth of reflectivity. Likewise, the devices are heavily frosted. The combination yields the always-elusive Deep Cameo contrast. Each side presents as brilliant, but closer examination shows there is just the slightest hint of color present. As indicated by the PR68 grade, there are no contact marks on either side.

1877 20C PR67+ CAM PCGS #85305

CAC - The finest graded at PCGS

1877 20C PR67+ CAM PCGS #85305

CAC - The finest graded at PCGS

1815 25C Browning 1 MS66+ PCGS #38942

CAC - Browning-1. The finest 1815 quarter graded by PCGS. Both obverse and reverse glow with satiny luster, cartwheeling over silver gray surfaces blushed with peach and tinted with violet, gold, and pastel blue. Every design element is fully struck, each obverse star shows its complete center, and nearly every border denticle is bold and rounded, showing softness only to the left of 12:00 on the obverse, right of 12:00 on the reverse. The eye appeal, encompassing the superlative luster, elegant color, and complete detail, is perhaps unsurpassable. The Jimmy Hayes 1815 Quarter Ex. Pogue.

1896 25C PR68DCAM PCGS #95682

CAC - This stunning 1896 Barber quarter proof displays the desirable white-on-black appearance to maximum effect. Struck with pinpoint precision, the snow-white motifs float above jet-black fields that exhibit unfathomable depths of watery reflectivity. The delicate proof surfaces are exquisitely preserved and virtually pristine on both sides of this majestic Superb Gem specimen.

1917-D 25C Type 1 MS68FH PCGS #5709

CAC - The only MS68 Type I Standing Liberty Quarter Endorsed by CAC. The detail is excellent, not only on Liberty's head but on the small feathers of the eagle. Strong mint luster swirls beneath deep and gorgeous patina, which covers the surfaces in patches of peach-umber, green-gold, and muted powder-blue.

1833 50C MS68 PCGS #6163

CAC - One of two MS68 coins for the Type at PCGS (4/24). "The overall color scheme is one of reddish-orange patina yielding to vivid electric-blue highlights at the denticles. The right obverse, however, displays mottled sea-green overtones intermingled with silver-tinged near-brilliance. The impression is expertly centered on the planchet with fully evident denticulation bordering devices that are sharply delineated in virtually all areas. Lustrous with a softly frosted texture, the surfaces are uncommonly blemish-free."

1800 $1 MS65+ PCGS #6887

CAC - This is the Single Finest 1800 dollar of ALL varieties graded at PCGS, and it had not been offered publicly since the 1977 Bowers and Ruddy sale of the Fairfield Collection. "A superb coin with full luster under lovely lilac, sea-green, and iridescent toning. Virtually flawless. Except for the gorgeous natural toning, this coin is in the same condition as it was when it left the dies nearly two centuries ago." Ex. The Fairfield Collection, Bruce Morelan Collection.

1897 $1 PR68CAM PCGS #87332

CAC - "Incredible mirrors beam intensely bold from all over. The mirrors are borderline Ultra deep for sure. In addition, the mirrors are ultra clean and offer remarkable clarity. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors look like a rolling river of liquid mercury. You can easily see yourself from across the room in them! The coin clearly has bold contrast. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and are fully struck. The eye appeal is phenomenal!"

1925 $1 MS67+ PCGS #7365

CAC - "Luster is frosty, radiant, and entirely brilliant, preserved to virtual perfection with no obvious abrasions. Each side is frost-white and sharply struck, giving this coin wonderful eye appeal." Ex. JDC.

1852 G$1 MS69 PCGS #7517

CAC - "It appears to be from new dies with no evidence of lapping or other defects. In a word, this coin is Superb. Both sides have amazing definition of the design, showing every individual element exactly as it was intended by James Longacre. Frosty surfaces have rich orange-gold luster without blemishes of any kind, save for a single minute mark below the digit 5." Ex: Bender Collection.

1829 $2.50 MS67 PCGS #7669

CAC - This example is the finest certified 1829 quarter eagle by two grades and is the finest surviving mint state example from a meager mintage of just 3,403 coins. If fact, this arguably is the finest example for the type and the only MS67 that has earned CAC endorsement (11/24 nothing finer). This 1829 quarter eagle is noteworthy for its exceptionally bright luster and well frosted devices. Most survivors show some degree of prooflike fields, as the same dies were used to coin proofs of this year. This example is remarkable for its deeply mirrored fields and excellent cameo contrast. The strike is generally sharp, with good definition on Liberty's curls and on the eagle's feathers. Even the claws are sharp

1854 $3 MS67+ PCGS #7969

CAC - Lustrous and satiny example of this tremendous condition rarity in the three-dollar gold series. The strike is sharp throughout, with strong definition to Liberty's hair and the reverse wreath. Pristine surfaces and exceptional eye appeal

1837 $5 MS66+ PCGS #8175

CAC - Tied for the finest graded. Richly endowed with billowy mint luster, the surfaces are further enhanced by original color in vivid orange-gold. Fully struck.

1799 $10 BD-10, Large Stars MS65 PCGS #45723

CAC - This pristine, virtually flawless Gem 1799 eagle features a generally bold strike.

1906 $10 MS67+ PCGS #8759

CAC - The Finest Graded 1906 $10 at PCGS and finest CAC endorsed coin at CAC. The silky-smooth surfaces are stunning, as well as the rich endowment of undisturbed satin luster. Ex. Oliver Jung Type Collection

1911 $10 MS67 PCGS #8868

CAC - The central devices of the Indian and the eagle have an extra dimension from the boldness of the central strike. Mint luster coruscates across the raised devices and unblemished fields. Ex. Oliver Jung Type Collection
