D.T.'s Coin Album
In 1979 Frank Sinatra sang about a modern day New York--New York but did you know N.Y was founded more than 400+ years ago. This 1745 'First New York Penny' is the first cooper coin to see widespread circulation in N.Y. And talk about aging well, the date on the coin looks absolutely stellar! The coin's technical name is a 'Duit' which is a bit of an oddball name in itself but the coin had a practical side. Its value was 1 cent & in 1745 it could buy a loaf of bread, a pint of beer, a newspaper or even a pipe-full of tobacco. Making this oddball coin even more interesting was it longevity-- it stayed in circulation for 68 years from 1726 - 1794. For numismatics who collect early coins, those were the good old days!

TIME TRAVEL ALERT! In 1989 Cher sang, ‘If I could turn back time.’ Well, hold on to your vinyl records, fellow numismatists—in the D.T. Cabinet, you don’t just turn back time, you fire up the DeLorean and punch in 1670! At over 350+ years old, this St. Patrick New Jersey 1/4 Pence isn’t just an early American copper; it’s an authentic, pocket-sized time machine! Cher might have wished for it, but this ancient coin actually pulled it off—delivering three & a half centuries of grit and soul straight into the modern era! As an old-school collector, I am honored to serve as the 21st-century custodian of such an extraordinary piece of numismatic history.

This 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent rocks the house! In the 1790s, coins were heavily circulated as everyday money. Most became completely worn down, damaged, or lost.

Pop Higher is only #193 which gives you an idea of how scarce this coin really is. This is a coin with a lot of soul. A welcome addition to any collector cabinet.

GRIPPED EDGE??? This 1797 Large Cent (S-121b) boasts the enigmatic, unofficial gripped edge. Why did 1790s Mint workers apply these rough file-serrations? A secret metallurgical test? An anti-counterfeiting prototype? History is silent, but this PCGS AG03 survivor is a piece of history that transcends normal numismatics. We may never know why the Mint put gripped edges on this 1797, but we do know this coin is history on steroids. The D.T. Cabinet is honored to house this R-3 mystery! Even Sherlock Holmes would have trouble getting to the bottom of this ‘whodunit.’

THE TWO-FACED 1797 SURVIVOR. Not all AG03s are created equal, and this 1797 Large Cent is living, copper-bound proof. Acquired through Great Collections for the D.T. Cabinet, this classic early copper wears a striking split personality: a whispers-from-the-past FR02 reverse paired with a bold, defiant obverse featuring a solid date that punches far above its weight—barking at the heels of Good-04. The PCGS wizards thread the needle perfectly on this split-grade puzzle, sticking the landing on a solid AG03. A textbook example of why original 18th-century planchets carry an allure that no numeric grade can ever fully capture!

For a coin more than 228+ years old, this 1798 Large Cent has an impressive survival rate—but don't let that fool you! Finding an example that has been perfectly, evenly worn down to a PO01 grade is a feat akin to climbing Mt. Everest: extremely difficult, rarely achieved, but monumentally rewarding. Its the ultimate 'top pop' from the bottom up, making it the absolute perfect crown jewel for this PCGS Lowball Registry set!

Rare Coin Alert! Ooh Baby! An extremely scarce 1799 Large Cent in PO01--a Low-ballers dream coin! For that matter, its a mega prize for any Large Cent collector. The 1799 1C in straight grade is almost mythical. This rare coin is a legendary 'set stopper.' Its R-5.6 rarity scale actually understates its true rarity. With less than 700 survivors, the collector demand for this showcase coin completely outstrips supply. The South Pacific musical from 1949 sings, 'Once you have found him, never let him go.' Likewise for this coin, once you have found it, never let it go--I know I won't.
Yowser! Yowser! Yowser! Condition Rarity! 1800 Large Cent - only 16 in this PO01 grade by PCGS. As a bonus this PO01 has a decent readable date. In 1800 Thomas Jefferson was elected as President (by the Electoral College) after a tie with Aaron Burr. Either of these famous figures could have had this very coin in their pockets. Oh my, this coin exudes history! A great PO01 for any collection!

Oh Boy, talk about the mint engraver having a bad day. The 1801 3 Errors Draped Bust Large Cent features three distinct punch mistakes on the reverse die: a 1/000 fraction error instead of 1/100, an upside-down U in UNITED that looks like an II, and a missing wreath stem at the bottom left. Pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong! What it all adds up too is that this coin in PO01 grade is actually pretty rare with a PCGS Pop #5. A super nifty coin to have in my collection, to be sure!

Think about it! In 1802 Thomas Jefferson was President and maybe, just maybe, this newly minted coin was in his pocket. Since then, this P/FR PCGS graded coin has had a rough go of it. It's been knocked around, gone down for the count but somehow, some way, got up off the canvas & found a home in the D.T. Twilight Zone Cabinet. And as a bonus, this 225+ year coin has a readable date! Now, that's what I'm talking about!

This 1802 1C had a very high mintage of more than 3.4 Million. Total surviors are 15K to 25K which is a large amount but is less that 1% of the total mintage. Finding this coin in PO01 took some hunting, but it was well worth it, as this coin is a key addition to my lowball set. As a bonus the date is outstanding!

The No Stems 1802 One Cent has a famous engraver's error on the reverse. On a totally semi-related' note, 1802 was also the year the U.S. Congress established the United States Military Academy at West Point. This very coin could have been in the pocket of a West Point cadet! p.s. The date on this AG3 coin is superb!

This 1803 Large Cent in FR02 grade is well worn but it has a good looking readable date. I was the winning bidder at a Great Collections auction & I have given this coin a good home in my PCGS lowball registry.

This 1803 Draped Bust Cent in FR02 grade is a lowball collector coin. This particular coin look like a PO01 on the Reverse and a FR02 on the Obverse, with the PCGS graders landing on FR02. Beyond that, it shows some wear and has clearly been knocked around a bit for the past 200+ years, but its still a welcome addition to the D.T. Cabinet.

The Philadelphia Mint produced more than 3 Million of these 1803's but few with an outstanding date like this one in AG03 grade! Not super high on the Sheldon scale, but definitely a coin that is easy on the eyes and a must have straight grade for any early Large Cent collection.

Stop the Presses! This fabled 1804 Draped Bust Large Cent—authenticated and straight-graded in PCGS AG03—is a low-ball collector’s absolute crown jewel. It's a serious set-stopper, and to say that this coin is elusive is a massive understatement. This uber rare coin is often referred to as a ‘Mini-Holy Grail,’ and finding a problem-free 1804 in an original, straight-graded AG03 holder is as sweet as it gets. The Rolling Stones spent decades singing, 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction.’ They clearly never hunted down a straight-graded 1804 Large Cent! This historic beauty guarantees you'll get 100% pure, unadulterated 'numismatic' satisfaction!
This coin is an R-3 rarity with less than 2,500 survivors. PCGS POP for this FR02 is only #8. The date is fuzzy but the expert PCGS graders are 100% confident that this is an 1805.

This 1806 Large Cent is moderately rare (R-4.6), though not as rare as the 1799 & 1804 1C. This FR02 has a decent date and an above average obverse as well as a good reverse. An important coin for this collectors lowball cabinet.

This P/FR coin is trying to fight above its weight class. Aside from a few scratches on the reverse & a slight bent, this could be a PO01 grade, maybe even FR02. Nonetheless, this 200+ year old coin sits at the bottom of the totem pole. However, no worries, it has found its home in the D.T. Twilight Zone Cabinet, where it resides happily with its fellow P/FR friends. p.s. PCGS TrueView pics bring out the date!

PCGS Pop in this FR02 grade is #3. This puppy was hard to find. The 1811/0 is considered three times rarer than the normal-date 1811 large cent. The number of survivors is extremely low, with only a few thousand (or fewer) estimated to exist in any condition. Talk about a rare puppy! As a bonus this FR02 coin has a readable date! Bravo!

With 8,000 survivors this coin is not super rare, but it has a bit of 'Demand' rarity because collectors need this coin to fill multiple PCGS registry sets, including the high end 1822 (4 coin) Mint Set. This particular coin has had a bit of a tough life but the 1822 date is clear & readable. This coin is findable but may have to do some diligent searching, particularly in the higher grades.

How on earth did this 1948 One Cent get in here? In a cabinet dominated by worn, battle-scarred planchets from the late 1700’s to the early/mid 1800’s, this 1948 Lincoln Cent looks like it wandered in from the wrong century. At just 78+ years old, it’s practically brand new. My second ‘newest’ piece is a 1901 Nickel, and after that, we jump all the way back to 1856 before taking the numismatic time machine into the 1700’s entirely. The irony doesn't stop there: graded MS65, this humble wheat penny is officially the highest-graded coin in my collection. It’s not rare by standard numismatic measures, but inside this specific registry, it’s a total Unicorn. Handle with care—it still has luster, which deeply confuses its neighbors!
How on earth did this 1948 One Cent get in here? In a cabinet dominated by worn, battle-scarred planchets from the late 1700’s to the early/mid 1800’s, this 1948 Lincoln Cent looks like it wandered in from the wrong century.

A 100% unique coin with a Broadstrike error which causes a pancake effect guaranteeing that no two error coins are alike. Accentuating this mint state coin is the 'clear' PCGS slab which gives you a pristine panoramic view of this brilliant MS63-Red specimen. And notice that PCGS uses a bit of 'tongue in cheek' humor with the words MINT ERROR at the top of the slab being 'off kilter.' Hey, who says PCGS doesn't have a sense of humor! All in all, a subtle coin with a bit of panache. A contemporary coin that fits perfectly in the D.T. Cabinet of Oddball Coins!

Really??? A 1901 Liberty V Nickel that I purchased for $5 is an oddball coin, really? A regular coin with a staggering mintage of 26 Million & a huge survivor count of 70,000+ an oddball, really? Yes really! Of the 50 Million+ coins PCGS has graded since 1986 less than .01% have been graded P/FR, the lowest grade on the scale. Its highly likely that this 1901 5C coin is a Unicorn by being the 'ONLY' 1901 nickel graded P/FR. And that my friend, is why this coin is the perfect fit for the D.T. Cabinet of Oddball coins! p.s. Check out the date on this coin--its readable--not bad for a coin more than 125+ years old. Ain't it grand!

Hard to find coin that is considered a major numismatic rarity R-5. with approximately 200 survivors! This coin was plugged and almost certainly someone wore it around their neck. An amazing piece rated Details-VG by PCGS. Great TrueView pictures!
Rare key date coin. 1811/09 overdate in straight AG03 grade. Rarity scale: R-5 - 200 - 250 survivors. PCGS POP #13. Key coin for any Dime registry!
A precise number of 1821 dimes graded Poor/Fair (P/FR) is not explicitly stated by PCGS, but based on broader PCGS CoinFacts data, a highly accurate guesstimate is that fewer than #10 1821 dimes exist in this unique grade. So, while overall, the 1821 10C has a fairly high survivor rate, finding one like this in P/FR grade is challenging, to say the least, which makes this coin a perfect addition to the D.T. Twilight Zone P/FR Cabinet.

This 1822 10C AG3 is a rare coin (PCGS R-7). Its a pricey coin for sure but beyond the price, the real test is finding one. With less than 300 survivors of which only 150 are estimated to be in straight grade, this coin is elusive, to say the least. It took some real searching and patience to find this one in straight grade. It also sits in my 1822 (4) coin Mint Set registry set which PCGS has pedigreed as the D.T. Cabinet, so its an especially valued coin for my collection.

WOW, absolutely super great date on this FR02 coin! With a mintage of 1.3 Million its a fairly common coin but there are only 49 in this grade by PCGS. And did I mention the absolutely outstanding date, more like a G06 or even a VG coin. A stylish coin for any collector!

White Whale! Very rare coin with a mintage of 6,146 with less that 650 survivors. Note that the date on this 1796 Quarter is absolutely stunning!

Beautiful TrueView pictures!

After the 1807 quarter, there was a nine-year hiatus on quarters until the Mint finally dropped this beauty in 1815. This example proves you don’t need an MS-65 to have incredible eye appeal. The deep, rich patina framing the remaining details gives Lady Liberty a dramatic silhouette. An honest survivor of the War of 1812 era that has stood the test of time and then some!
This quarter has been out in the world surviving for well over two centuries, and honestly? It’s aged better than most of us. Despite a hefty mintage of over 360,000, finding one today that retains this kind of smooth, matched, problem-free circulation skin is surprisingly tough. A gorgeous workhorse of early American commerce and a welcome addition to the D.T. Cabinet.
Don't let the 'G06' on the label fool you; this is a stealth rarity. With fewer than 1,000 estimated survivors left across all grades, seeing this coin is a statistical anomaly. The details are worn smooth by history, but the "Small 9" remains clear and proud. It's a low-grade, high-character ghost with a ton of soul.

A very nice VG08! While it's not the rarest date in this quarter lineup, it makes up for it in pure classic appeal. It’s a highly collectable, universally loved early type coin. The "Large 0" variety stands out beautifully, offering just enough extra design detail to make you appreciate the craftsmanship of the early U.S. Mint.

Welcome to Rarity-4 territory. PCGS Numismatic Rarity estimates that only 500 to 1,000 of these have survived the melting pots and pockets of time. It’s got that beautiful, deep gray crust that Bust material collectors lose their minds over. This G06 didn't just survive; it did so with absolute style! A wonderful coin for any early quarter enthusiast!

This 1822 25C has a ton of soul & history. A scarce R-3 variety with roughly 1,000 survivors left on the planet. It’s got a certain 'pocket piece' charm—smoothly worn from centuries of changing hands, yet entirely honest and completely original with just the right dash of panache! It also sits in my 1822 (4) coin Mint Set registry set which PCGS has pedigreed as the D.T. Cabinet, so this is a coin I am especially gratified to have in my cabinet.

The Second Holy Grail. An astonishing R-8.8 rarity with only ~31 known survivors, this 1823/2 Capped Bust Quarter stands apart as a monument to true classical numismatics. Originating from the distinguished collection of the late William Alonzo Rinehart IV, this coin embodies an 'old school' philosophy—where character, history, and the pure soul of a piece take precedence over a numeric grade. Mr. Rinehart was the quintessential collector's collector, and following the path he forged is both an honor and a guiding light for the D.T. Cabinet. An absolute privilege to have this second of two 1823/2 quarters in this eclectic collection.

The Holy Grail. Beyond rare, this 1823/2 Capped Bust Quarter is an astronomical PCGS R-8.8 rarity with a microscopic ~ 31 known survivors. To top it off, this example honors a legendary pedigree, tracing its lineage back to the elite collection of the late American composer, Jerome D. Kern. This isn't just a coin; it’s a numismatic high like none other. It is a privilege and a humbling experience to be the current steward of such a magnificent piece. This is one of two 1823/2 Capped Bust Quarters in the D.T. Cabinet.

Think the 1823/2 Holy Grail quarter is the only over-date star attraction? Think again. The 1824/2 quarter in is a genuine numismatic elite, with fewer than 450 survivors estimated to exist. Coming in at a solid, crusty VG08, the over-date is unmistakable. It's the perfect lieutenant to accompany the 1823/2 in this quarter line.

This crisp VG-10 1828 is an absolute looker. The PCGS TrueView photography perfectly captures its deep, uniform, old-school look. With a mintage of 102,000 and less than 2,000 survivors, this stately looking coin is a must have for any serious quarter collector!

This 1833 quarter in XF45 is an absolute beauty! The 1833 mintage was only 156,000 (the lowest in the reduced size 1831 - 1838 quarters), making it a somewhat scarce but not super rare coin. Survivor estimates about 1,775. PCGS Pop #37. Pop Higher - only #133.
A solid looking 1837 quarter in VF25 grade. With a modest mintage of 252,400 and a PCGS survivor estimate of 2,400, this coin is accessible but definitely harder to find in higher grades. Both the trouble free obverse & reverse on this coin indicate this coin is at the upper range of the VF25 grade.
In 1838, the Philadelphia Mint produced two entirely different quarter designs: the final year of the classic Capped Bust and the debut of the new Seated Liberty design.The 1838 Bust Quarter is a readily accessible coin for collectors, but in VG10 grade its a beautiful example of a mid-grade coin that is easy on the eyes & a welcome addition to any registry. PCGS Pop in VG10 grade is #7.
This 1822 50C in F15 grade has clean lines and a strong date, as would be expected in this mid-grade. The PCGS TrueView pics show the real character of a coin that has survived for more than 200+ years. It also sits in my 1822 (4) coin Mint Set registry set which PCGS has pedigreed as the D.T. Cabinet, so its a prized coin for my cabinet.

The 1823 Half Dollar is a common date in the Capped Bust series thanks to a rather hefty mintage of nearly 1.7 million coins. This particular XF40 coin definitely has a high end look and may be closer to an XF45 or even on the edge of a AU50. A coin that could be considered 'handsome' and is a welcome addition to this numismatics collection.

Unicorn sighting! One of a kind coin! A gorgeous PCGS AU58 'straight' graded Liberty Head Nickel (V Nickel) with No Date - Mint Error - Struck Through Obv/Rev. None other like it on Planet Earth! PCGS POP Higher #0. Date guesstimate is 1900. p.s. This coin absolutely pops with amazing PCGS TrueView pics! p.p.s. Did I mention Unicorn!
POP #1 alert! This 1796 Liberty Cap 230+ year old coin is beyond cool. Its super cool. A total mintage of 110,000 with a decent survivor count of 1,000, but this 1796 Large Cent (PO01) is uber rare. PCGS rates it a POP #1 in this S-87 variety. Yes, the only one on the Planet in S-87. A prized catch for any lowball collector!

1796 Liberty Cap 1 Cent: In 1796 George Washington was President & the U.S. Mint produced 109,825 Liberty Cap large cents with less than 400 survivors. PCGS rates this coin an R-3 and in P/FR grade its a unique coin for sure! Overall the coin has the look of a classic PO01 for a lowball collection but the scratch on the Obverse mandates it's P/FR status. However, no worries as this classic coin has found a home in the D.T. Twilight Zone P/FR Cabinet. Hmm, maybe George even carried this coin in his pocket, but if he's the one who scratched it, he's got some explaining to do!

POP #1 alert! This 1796 Liberty Cap Large Cent in PO01 grade has quite the story. Its a sleeper! I found it in a ICG slab (P1) & crossed it successfully to PCGS. Its a POP #1 coin & the only one on the planet in this S-89 variety. The 1796, with only a 1% survivor count is somewhat rare, but the Pop #1 status is off the charts! This coin could the the crown jewel of any lowball set & for that matter it's an amazing coin for any numismatist's cabinet.
POP #1 alert! The Holy Grail of Lowballs: 1796 S-107 in PO01! Offered raw at Stack’s Bowers from the legendary estate of numismatist titan William Alonzo Rinehart IV, this 1796 Large Cent came with Rinehart’s own attribution as a S-107 variety. In the PCGS Lowball Registry, an S-107 is a mythical beast worth a massive 72 points—provided it hits the bottom rung. Stack’s cataloged it as Fair, but to my eye, it had the makings of a true PO01. One nerve-wracking PCGS submission later, the graders confirmed it: straight-grade PO01 S-107. Legendary variety. Unimpeachable Rinehart provenance. Solitary top pop. An absolute honor to have Mr. Rinehart's coin in the D.T. Cabinet!
POP #1 alert! This 1796 FR02 1 cent coin had a long & winding road before it found a home in the D.T. Cabinet lowball registry. I found it in an ANACS slab graded AG03, which to my eye was a slight over-grade. I threw away my safety net & took a chance & cracked the slab & sent to PCGS with my fingers crossed they would see it as an FR02 for my lowball set. Maybe it was kismet, but PCGS agreed with my FR02 assessment & as a bonus, this uber rare variety S-112 (only 8 known) is a Pop #1 coin. Some might think coin collecting is boring! This Top Pop bonus coin says otherwise! Ah, the life of a numismatics, its life on the wild side. For sure dude!
POP #1 alert! This coin checks all the boxes! An amazing 1797 1 Cent in S-129 variety with 30 -75 known examples. PCGS POP for this FR02 low-ballers coin is ONE! R-5 on Sheldon scale. Outstanding readable date and a prized coin for the D.T. Cabinet.

Famous error coin 1798/7. Less than 500 survivors! Only 2 in this grade by PCGS, Pop #7 in all varieties! This FR02 Large Cent teeters on the edge of being a PO01 but the PCGS graders correctly graded it FR02 based on a decent date. This coin is a true survivor!

POP #1 alert! This 1798 Large Cent (S-160) in FR-02 is a PCGS POP #1 coin. Low-ballers rarely find FR02's that are the lowest in grade but when they do find them, they are equal in points to a generic PO01 coin, which makes them very sought after. As a bonus, the date on this coin is exceptional for a coin more than 228+ years old. A welcome addition to this low-ballers cabinet.

POP #1 alert! I won this fabulous coin in a super heated E-Bay auction. While the 1798 large cent had a strong mintage and is readily available to collectors, this particular variety #36057 is a PCGS POP #1 coin. Its the only PO01 grade in this S-161 die set, which makes it mega rare! It's a uber rare find and is the consummate addition to any collectors cabinet.

Rare Coin Alert! The 1799 Large Cent in 'ANY' grade is a rare find & is a notorious 'set stopper.' For a Lowballer, finding one like this straight grade PO01 is much like finding a Unicorn. In the 1867 sale of the Joseph Mickley collection, the 1799 was described as the rarest of American cents. Fast forward to the 21st Century and not much has changed in that regard. Its still uber rare and a dream coin for early American copper enthusiasts! This coin absolutely pops in PCGS TrueView pictures!

Good looking date on this G04 coin in S-224 variety. Not rare but a work-horse coin for sure!

I found this 1802 FR02 in an Anacs soapbox slab and crossed it to PCGS in FR02 for my lowball set. It wasn't a guaranteed cross, but the ANACS soapbox slabs are usually spot on with rigorous grading and typically cross to PCGS without any major issues. This is a solid coin with a nice looking date!
UNICORN SIGHTING! Surviving 220+ years just to be labeled a hopeless PO-01 ‘NO DATE’ in an ANACS slab? I had a quiet feeling there might be more than meets the eye with this coin. In a leap of faith, I busted it out of its plastic purgatory and threw a Hail Mary straight to PCGS. Miracle of miracles: PCGS didn't just resurrect the date as 1803, they nailed the variety as S-260. Boom—an orphaned ‘NO DATE’ copper disc instantly turned into a POP #1 - 72 point mega-bonus lowball coin. A numismatic once-in-a-lifetime discovery, and a true badge of honor for the D.T. Cabinet.
POP #1 alert! The lyrics in the 1953 song 'Young at Heart' say: 'Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, if you're young at heart.' Oh baby, have I got a fairy tale for you. I purchased an 1806 Large Cent housed in a ICG slab rated PO01 for $60. (Yes, $60). I sent the coin (still in its ICG slab) to PCGS hoping for a crossover as a PO01 for my PCGS lowball set. Successfully crossing a 2nd tier ICG slab to PCGS is far from a sure thing. Nonetheless, the fairy tale did come true as the expert graders at PCGS certified the coin as PO01 & as a bonus the variety (S-270) is a POP #1. For this humble 'Young at Heart' numismatist, fairy tales do come true!
The 1807/6 Large Cent is an over-date (7 over 6 with a large date 7) from the final year of the Draped Bust design. I found this coin in a yellow ANACS slab in FR02 & crossed to PCGS in FR02. The Observe of this coin is PO01 territory, but the reverse is a solid FR02 with the PCGS graders settling on a bona fide grade of FR02. A solid coin for lowball collectors to round out their registry sets.
This 1822 Large Cent in G06 grade has an outstanding date and aside for a few scuffs, its a good looking specimen. It also sits in my 1822 (4) coin Mint Set registry set which PCGS has pedigreed as the D.T. Cabinet, so its a treasured coin for my cabinet.

Rock & Roll Baby, this is one cool coin! A super rare 1802 10C in JR-4 variety rated R-5 on the rarity scale.. PCGS CoinFacts estimates a minuscule 165 survivors across all grades. As a bonus the date on this P/FR coin pops! The only thing keeping this coin from a coveted LowBall PO-01 or FR02 grade is pitting on the obverse on the bust shoulder. No two ways about it, this 220+ year old coin absolutely rocks the house! p.s. Incredibly, I acquired this coin in raw state and gave it a permanent home in a PCGS slab with TrueView pictures that capture the true essence and beauty of this beyond amazing rare coin! p.p.s. I consider the six small pitting marks on the obverse as testaments to the real soul & history of this coin, a badge of honor if you will.
Many early quarter collectors refer to this coin as a mini Holy Grail. It's famous for its Market rarity--Absolute rarity--Condition rarity & incredible Collector Demand. The 1804 Quarter (R-4) has a minuscule mintage of 6,738, with less than 400 survivors. This coin is a serious set stopper and incredibly difficult to find in ANY grade, let alone a 'straight' grade like this FR02. As a bonus this coin has an absolutely amazing date that is more like an VG8. PCGS Pop in this FR02 B-1 variety is TWO--Yes #2. p.s. I found this coin in an ANACS slab rated FR02 and successfully crossed to PCGS as an FR02. Looks absolutely fabulous in PCGS TrueView pictures!
Holy over-date, Batman! This isn't just an over-date—it’s a triple over-date chaos piece. The Mint die-sinkers were clearly having a wild day when they punched a 5 over a 4 over a 2. Only about 1,500 to 3,000 of these 1825/4/2 quarters exist across all grades for this Browning-2 variety. It’s got the ultimate 'pizzazz' factor for die-marriage brainiacs and even Robin, our favorite 'Boy Wonder' would dig this coin!

Hold on to your socks! This 1788 Massachusetts Cent absolutely steals the show! Of the 50 Million+ coins PCGS has graded since 1986, less than .01% are graded P/FR. It's virtually 100% certain that this is the 'ONLY' 1788 Cent PCGS has graded P/FR. Can you say Unicorn! And against all odds, it has a clear, fully readable 1788 date! A magnificent piece of post-colonial copper that wandered in the wilderness for 238+ years but has now found a permanent home in the D.T. Twilight Zone P/FR Cabinet! Or as the Fonz would say: PERFECTOMUNDO!

This coin is a doozy! It represents the highest mint error in U.S. History! More than 250,000 struck coins completely bypassed the edge-lettering machine at the mint! Most mint errors are isolated flukes affecting a single coin, but this colossal blunder meant that 250,000+ George Washington $1 coins had no date, no mint mark and no 'IN GOD WE TRUST.' So while this individual coin isn't a 'one of a kind', this mistake is so mind-boggling massive that it is truly a 'one of a kind' mint blunder that we almost certainly never see again in our lifetime! This 250,000 error coin gaffe is the Unicorn of U.S. Mint faux pas, which makes this coin a perfect fit for the D.T. Cabinet of Oddball Coins!

So bad to be good! This 1794 Large Cent is a true survivor with a readable date. If you look closely at the TrueView pics you will see this coin is right on the edge of being a 'Details' coin. It has multiple surface marks & dings but was just good enough to get a PO01 straight grade from PCGS. A coin with 230+ years of rough living that has now found a home in the D.T. Cabinet.

A bona fide census ghost with a 100-Year Bonus! Struck in 1974 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary (CENTENNIAL) of the 2nd San Francisco Mint, this MS65 medal is an incredibly rare piece of exonumia. PCGS Pop #1 with only one graded finer. The real plot twist? The PCGS encapsulation team was so enthusiastic about the mint's longevity that they labeled it a BICENTENNIAL. Far be it from me to critique PCGS, my favorite & absolute 'go-to' grading service, but I just love that they casually awarded this medal an extra century on the slab. You’ve gotta love a rare piece that comes with its own built-in PCGS time machine!

POP #1 alert! The 1804 1 Cent is a VERY difficult coin to find in ANY grade, let alone a straight grade like this FR02. While it has a decent survivor count--500 to 1000, this coin experiences 'Demand Rarity', whereby there are simply more buyers than coins available. For many collectors this coin is a 'set stopper.' I was fortunate to find this gem in an NGC slab rated FR02 & successfully crossed it to PCGS in FR02. PCGS lists this FR02 as Pop #1. Its the 'ONLY' FR02 1804 S-266c variety in the entire PCGS universe! This 1804 1C stands only second to the uber-rare 1799 cent as a premier date required for a complete large cent collection. Can I get a witness!
