CAC. R-6. A scarce and desirable pattern as it was designed nearly three decades before the Two Cent denomination was finally issued by the Mint. The obverse features a small eagle on a cloud, reminiscent of the Draped Bust silver dollar reverse design. The reverse has TWO CENTS in the center surrounded by a laurel […]

Hagerstown. Washington County Savings Institution. Counterfeit. Comment: Minor Repair. Light repair near the upper right corner is minor.

R.E. Russell, Low-128, HT-309, R.5. Dr. Feuchtwanger presumably struck this one-bit token variety on behalf of New York merchant R.E. Russell, since the alloy is German silver, and the obverse die is common to Breen-6 HT-268 Feuchtwanger cents. While the Feuchtwanger cents are fairly common, the R.E. Russell token is seldom encountered. The obverse features […]

Well struck with choice original surfaces and just a touch of high-point wear.

A very rare and highly desirable early Proof from the first year of Christian Gobrecht’s new Seated Liberty design. Just 30 proofs were struck and today about 25 have survived. This coin displays sharp definition in Liberty’s figure, shield, and gown folds, with reflective fields that retain attractive mirrored surfaces. The reverse wreath is crisply […]

Well detailed with original yellow-gold surfaces and plenty of remnant luster.

Well-preserved, displaying bold design detail with light, even wear confined to the highest points. Original silver-gray surfaces show soft luster, with crisp stars, lettering, and a sharply defined eagle. An attractive early half dollar offering strong eye appeal for the grade.  

A highly desirable, near–Mint State example of the short-lived Reeded Edge half dollar type. This coin retains strong mint luster with only light, high-point friction evident under magnification. Liberty’s portrait is sharply detailed, with crisp stars and bold LIBERTY across the cap. The reverse eagle displays excellent feather definition, a well-defined shield, and clean legends. Subtle, […]

No Drapery, Large Stars. Fantastic quality with rich satiny white luster over almost flawless surfaces. The strike is needle-sharp with every minute detail boldly present. Just 4 coins have graded numerically finer at PCGS.
