1800 Half Cent, C-1, D/S-4.0. A pleasing, low grade example that is popular due to the date, 1800, which was just one year after the passing of George Washington. Our grade is G6 and this piece is priced at $55.
1804 Half Cent, C-6, D/S-9.5 (very scarce per Manley). This Spiked Chin 1804 half cent is popular due to the collectible die states. The reverse die really got used and abused in the C-6 die marriage, as evinced by the dramatic breaks and cuds. The coin grades F12 and boasts a nice, smooth planchet. $125 SOLD
1807 Half Cent, C-1, D/S-3.0. Chocolate-brown coloration with attractive surfaces. F12. $85 SOLD
1832 Half Cent, C-2. A nice type coin that grades a picture-perfect VF20. Cheap at $65
1850 Half Cent, C-1. This is an “eBay Unc.”, although the correct grade is AU55 and guaranteed to slab as such. In hand, this coin displays traces of mint red in the protected areas. $140 SOLD
1857 Half Cent, C-1. A tough and underrated date. We grade this example as MS60, with a respectable level of mint red on the obverse. A small rough area of debris on Liberty’s check precludes a higher grade, although this could be professionally conserved, if one so desired. $250
1794 Cent, S-21, R.3. The Flat Pole variety. Moderately rough surfaces, although quite pleasing to the eye. Check the Heritage archives to see what similar examples are selling for. VG8. Our price: $750
1794 Cent, S-26, R.2. An attractive F12 when grading by the variety. The central weakness on the reverse is caused by the shattered die. $1,250
1807/6 Cent, S-273, R.1. Popular due to the bold overdate. This example has eye-appealing, smooth surfaces and is priced to sell at $115.
1820 Cent, N-13. A Randall Hoard coin, no doubt. Although not obvious in the image, this is a lustrous coin that we grade as MS62. A toning streak from Liberty’s nose to star 3 being the only visible distraction. $450
1857 Cent. A nice VF representative of this challenging date. Although it is not a rare issue, hoarding has made locating a decent example challenging. A few rim bruises, as visible in the images, are commensurate with the assigned grade. $300
1915-S Nickel in VF20. $135
1891 Seated Liberty Dime, MS65 PCGS. Rich, satiny luster shimmers off both sides of this little Gem. Russet and indigo tones have settled into the obverse margins, while the reverse swirls with a broader combination of citrus and sea-green tones. The scuffs visible on the reverse image are on the holder and not the coin. Although this final-year Seated dime issue is available at the MS65 level, not all examples possess this level of eye appeal. If you would like an image of the coin in the PCGS holder, please contact us. PRICE: $775
1805 Draped Bust Quarter, B-3, D/S-V. A well detailed and eye-appealing coin. Becoming VERY difficult to locate in VF or better these days. Heck, who am I kidding…..these are hard to find in nice VG or Fine lately. This one is priced at $1,750.
1818 Capped Bust Quarter, B-8, D/S-III. Another tough coin lately. This looks nicer in hand. $700.
1805 Half Dollar, O-110, R.5. The consignor of this example stated to me that he and other early half dollar specialists have concurred that what appears to be a scratch on the reverse is actually a planchet flaw. Since we have not yet had the opportunity to examine this coin, we will be conservative and ask any potential buyers to consider the flaw to be a scratch. That being said, we would like to point out the positive attributes of this early half dollar, namely the attractive, original patina and the rarity of the variety. The obverse rim weakness is typical for O-110. This piece will appeal to fans of Draped Bust halves on a budget, as well as variety collectors. Grade: Net VG8. PRICE: $285
1806/5 Half Dollar, O-101, R.3, Doubled Edge Lettering Error. Dove-gray surfaces with amber highlights throughout. Hints of iridescence are observed within the protected areas, thus suggesting a higher technical grade, but a few minor disturbances in the right obverse field lands this example at the VF25 level. An attractive Draped Bust half with the added bonus of a seldom seen edge lettering error. Offered at $670.
1814/3 Half Dollar, O-101a, R.2. Pleasing gunmetal-gray toning over mostly smooth surfaces. This late die state displays numerous die breaks and clash marks. The rim weakness is typical for the variety when found in the lower grade levels and, as such, this coin actually has claims to a higher grade, but we are being conservative with our VG8 assessment. The 1814/3 overdate is one of the more popular varieties in the series and always in demand. $270
1818/7 Half Dollar, Small 8, O-102a, R.2. Well circulated, but charming nonetheless. The few flaws visible in the images provided here are commensurate with the assigned grade and do little to detract from the eye appeal of this piece. In the O-102a die state, the upper loop of the final 8 in the date is filled. List price: $110
This pleasing 1827 fifty cent piece displays ample luster and abundant detail. Subtle iridescent hues of pale-green, ocean-blue, and violet progress naturally from the peripheries toward the devices that themselves are accented with lighter highpoint color. Graded AU50 by PCGS. Offered at $615. SOLD
