Black Cat - 19th Century Type Set No Gold (1800-1899) 的钱币相册
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
CAC - A surfeit of frost adds warm appeal to exquisitely preserved surfaces. With bountiful cartwheel luster and abundant persisting mint color. The obverse fields have barely faded to variegated pale olive and gold, a colorful contrast to the red that remains around all design elements and within Liberty's hair. The reverse is more even, a uniform frosty light brown that still reveals abundant faded mint color. The fields of both sides are nearly immaculate.
CAC - Tied for Finest Cameo Proof at PCGS (6/21). "lovely golden-tan surfaces have deeply mirrored fields that frame the highly lustrous and sharply detailed devices on this Superb Gem Cameo proof". Ex: Perfection 2
CAC - "The coin is beautifully preserved and well contrasted, with fields that are more deeply mirrored than usual for the Shield nickel type. Every detail is sharply brought up, and the coin is brilliant save for tinges of champagne warmth around the outer peripheries." Ex. The Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part II
CAC - "The mint luster is thick and frosty, the strike is essentially full, producing complete detail on all peripheral elements -- remarkable in itself. Finally, the patina, consisting of flecks of iridescent cherry, cobalt-blue, mint-green, pale lavender, and amber-gold, is especially attractive, contrasting against light silver-gray areas." Ex: he Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part III
CAC - Wonderful rainbow toning on both sides which varies from russet to gold with a touch of blue. The toning deepens around the reverse rim, while the centers are brighter with antique flecks of color intermixed. Boldly struck and the coin has reflective field surfaces, reflecting careful die polishing.
CAC - Beautiful lavender, ocean-blue, and green-gold toning grace each side, complementing boldly struck, frosty design elements. Glimmering mirrored fields surround the frosted central devices. The Finest graded at PCGS.
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.
CAC - "Remarkable concentric toning is the hallmark of the present pristine specimen. The obverse has a small peach-gold center framed by rings of cherry-red, ocean-blue, and apricot. The reverse displays similar bands of color; except they are relegated to the margins while the center remains brilliant. Fully struck and magnificent."
CAC - "This spectacular coin is the sole-finest 1874 Arrows proof quarter certified in either Cameo or Deep Cameo finish -- a high-end Superb Gem, with a pinpoint-sharp strike and the all-important PCGS Plus designation. Exquisite turquoise and russet-tan toning decorates each side, suggesting original proof set color."
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.
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."
CAC - The finest endorsed CAC coin (as a plus) - A very challenging coin. "Each side displays medium-density reddish-golden patina, with accents of blue around the margins. There is no sign of the reverse die cracks that some business strikes and proofs alike exhibit." Ex: The Jim O'Neal Collection of U.S. Half Dollar Types
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.
CAC - An absolutely amazing Superb Gem Deep Cameo proof of its exceptional quality. Both sides have frosty bright silver devices that exhibit bold design definition. The surrounding fields are unendingly deep mirrors that are brilliant silver close to the design motifs, changing to russet, violet, and electric blue at the borders.
CAC - The Norweb Name Below Base 1836 Gobrecht Dollar. "The fields on both sides are deeply mirrored, surrounding devices struck well enough to educe every fine detail from the dies. The force of the strike has upset a fin or wire rim around both sides from 5:00 to 11:00. Carefully preserved since its moment of striking, this coin's featureless obverse field shows only very minor hairlines and a single small mark near the denticles just above 3:00. Several lintmarks are noted, including one immediately left of C. GOBRECHT F., another near the elbow of Liberty's pole arm, one left of the base of the cap, and another at the denticles near 11:00, parallel to Liberty's lips. The immaculate reverse shows lintmarks below A of DOLLAR and left of the star under C of AMERICA. The toning is ancient and lovely, featuring light tones of blue and rose on the obverse that appear milky gray away from a light source but erupt into a cavalcade of pastels in a direct beam. The reverse is similar but more intense, with milky gray tones yielding a spectacular range of blue, violet, and rose that bespeaks ancient and well-guarded originality."
CAC - "lightly toned interiors with gorgeous, natural shades of violet, ocean-blue, mint-green, rose, and golden-orange color elsewhere. The delicate iridescence allows for full appreciation of the contrast that exists between the razor-sharp devices and watery, unmarked fields."
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!"
