1873 3CS PR67CAM PCGS #83724

CAC - "This is a singularly beautiful Superb Gem specimen of this proof-only issue. At first glance, the rose and blue toning at the centers appears to be the lightest patina on the coin, but then at a different angle, the formerly "black" mirrors come to life with pale sea-green color."

1881 5C PR67DCAM PCGS #93836

CAC - Ex. Gerald Forsythe Collection

1815 25C Browning 1 MS66+ PCGS #38942

CAC - The Jimmy Hayes 1815 Quarter Ex. Pogue. "In the 1985 sale of the Hayes type collection, this coin was described as “a pristine example ... the coin really defies description.” " The finest 1815 quarter graded by PCGS

1881 25C PR68+ CAM PCGS #85582

CAC - "The patination comprises amber-gold, lavender and light-blue hues on the obverse, with more silver but a similar palette on the reverse. A fully struck and completely engaging example of the issue.."

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."

1942 50C PR68+ PCGS #6642

CAC - "Blinding, chrome-like mirrors beam with a quick-silver, liquid mercury brilliance and reflection. The mirrors are deep and offer the utmost clarity and are the epitome of cleanliness! Neon gold and blue iridescent toning is dusted across the surfaces deeper at the peripheries and more untoned on the centers. The flashy fields really bring out all the beautiful colors, especially as you twirl the coin in a light. The sharply struck devices are glossy and stand out boldly." Ex: YOUNG-MADISON

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.

1866 $1 Motto PR66DCAM PCGS #97014

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.

1879 T$1 Trade PR68CAM PCGS #87059

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."

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.
