A lovely example of this very clear overdate. The underlying 1 sits boldly beneath the primary 2 in the date. The surfaces are choice and original. They’re a pleasing light coin-gray with some darker gray toning at the bottom of the obverse. The design features are bold and minimal marks are insignificant and well hidden.

Very attractive and an obvious overdate. The bold remnants of the underlying 1 beneath the 2 in the date are plainly visible. Liberty’s portrait remains well detailed for the grade, with clear facial features, visible hair curls, and bold stars and lettering. The reverse shows a lightly worn heraldic eagle with strong shield lines, legible […]

Small Stars Reverse. A highly attractive early U.S. gold issue. The obverse displays a bold Liberty portrait with strong remaining detail in the hair and cap, complemented by pleasing original surfaces. Rich, warm golden coloration remains throughout, with considerable mint luster on both sides. The reverse features the distinctive Small Stars arrangement above the eagle, […]

Large 3. A pleasing, problem-free example of the final-year Draped Bust dollar. Both sides retain strong, well-defined devices and the surfaces exhibit a medium-gray patina with darker steel and charcoal highlights, lending the coin an attractive, original appearance.

C-1. Very attractive with strong detail and nice problem-free light chestnut-brown surfaces.

14 Star Reverse. An outstanding example of this rare and desirable coin from a low-mintage year. Just 2,827 minted and an estimated 150 to 200 known survivors. This near-mint state specimen displays strong eye appeal with vibrant golden luster and only the slightest signs of friction on the high points of the design.

Small 8. A handsome and historically important 1804 Small 8 Half Eagle.

The reverse eagle is sharply rendered, with clear feather detail, a crisp shield, and bold legends throughout. The surfaces display a rich, […]

Spiked Chin. Cohen-8. The last marriage of the Spiked Chin obverse following Cohen-5, 6, and 7. This is a late die state of this durable die. A ‘Spike’ extends from Liberty’s chin, a ‘tongue’ appears to stick out between her lips, and curved die lines are seen in the field opposite her neck. This is […]
