I've been waiting to get home from college for 3 months now in order to sell the following coins. My reason is similar to that of a couple of other younger
numismatists from this board who have recently decided to buy a car. I'm about to buy my first car too, and I need some final cash in order to pay for
this car in full. Many of the following coins have been in my collection for several years and have been great tools to study and learn about their history.
Now I wish to pass their history on to other collectors (like you) who wish to enjoy them as much as I have. There will be a no questions asked return
for 7 days on any item you are not satisfied with. I will also update this list after every inquiry or sale to avoid confusion.
For a payment method, I will take Check, Money Order, or PayPal (provided 3% addition to final cost).
All coins will be shipped fully insured through the USPS and the cost of this is already included in the price of the coin.
My first two coins are an 1807 Draped Bust Dime in NGC PO-01 (1 of 5 graded at NGC) and an 1847 Seated Dollar in NGC PO-01 (unique to NGC).
I am selling each of these for $400 or the pair for $760.
First up is a nice raw 1834 Capped Bust Quarter from my Type Set. Grade-wise it is a solid AU-50 coin (maybe slightly better), but with the spotted toning
on the obverse I am pricing this below AU price. This date has a relatively small mintage of 286,000, and is still seen as a bargain among early federal
coinage. Bust Quarters are going to become immensely popular in the near future with the issue of two or three new Bust Quarter books.
Sell for: $400
This next coin is a raw 1803 (O-101 R3) Draped Bust Half from my Bust Half Date set. Grade-wise, this coin is a solid F-12 and is almost completely problem
free. The only issue is some tiny surface friction and wear (a thin scratch is seen in the image and only barely visible in hand); not something that would
keep it from holdering, if that's what you plan on doing with this coin. Sell for: $350
1807 Draped Bust Half (being imaged). Raw VF-20(-), crusty, and problem free. Sell for $400
This next coin is the famous 1807 Bearded Goddess O-111a (R5) Capped Bust Half Dollar. This variety (O-111a), as I have researched, comes up for sale half
as many times as its counterpart O-111b. I find it to be on the much rarer end of the R5 scale with an estimated 40 or so in existence. The grade on this coin,
as confirmed by several Bust Half specialsts, has come to the overwhelming concensus of F-12 (Dick Osburn told me it could get F-15, but a solid F-12).
(The image picks up a lot more ticks and such that don't show up in hand.) Sell for $1250
Here's another early Capped Bust Half Dollar from 1827 (O-119 R4). This coin is really as good as its image shows it to be. It was originally graded AU-58
and then cracked from either a PCGS or NGC holder for my type set; I can't recall and have subsequently returned the paper holder.
I am selling this coin for $450
This last Capped Bust Half (1826) was the first AU Bust Half I ever bought and was the original Bust Half in my Type Set. The variety of this coin is an O-118a,
with a reverse die crack at the top of D STATES. This coin is problem free, although the fact that it is so white makes me think is could have been dipped in the
past, but I see no hairlines from being messed with. Sell for 350
The last item I'm selling is actually not before 1850, it is not silver, and it is not below the AU-58 grade.
This next coin is one of my favorite coins I have ever purchased. It is an 1865 2-Cent piece graded MS-65RD by SEGS. I know that SEGS does not get the
greatest reputation from dealers and collectors, but this coin is truly an awesome coin. It exhibits original Red surfaces with NO splotchy brown spots, something
that shows up on many "RD" designated coins currently in NGC and PCGS holders. You will not be disappointed in this coin.
Sell for $800
