I have a small assortment of numismatic items available on my website. These items are also listed below with descriptions and pricing. Shipping and insurance are paid for by me and all items may be returned within a two week (14-day) period for complete refund. Payment accepted by personal, bank or business check or money order, USPS money order and PayPal options. I prefer to avoid the use of PayPal with the fees that are associated with this option, but if it is required please let me know via PM or email. Any questions may be asked within the thread or sent to me via PM or to my email address of tbush@tbnumismatics.com. Thank you for your time.
1) 1859-O PCGS MS63/CAC Seated Liberty Half Dollar. This is a wonderful NM Seated Liberty half dollar that I have been fortunate to recently acquire and place on my site. This coin features a rather attractive or “sexy” look and sports a reverse that may very well rank as an MS64. The eye appeal of this coin is such that most collectors would gravitate toward the coin for closer examination and most would be pleased after the examination, too. The rims feature a mix of auburn and navy while some light peach sparkles through the fields. All of the NM Seated Liberty half dollars are more difficult than published guides would have one believe and this seems to be a crime, in my opinion, since these coins appear to fly under the radar and many collectors undervalue what it is that they are viewing. All die marriages for the date are rather scarce in MS grades. $2,250.00
2) 1892-S PCGS EF45/CAC Barber Half Dollar. The 1892-S Barber half dollar is significantly easier to obtain than the 1893-S issue, but in Ch EF grades with original skin the coin can be a bear. This coin retains some mint luster underneath medium depth grey patina that is quite even comparing obverse and reverse. There is good detail in the tail feathers, eagle’s talons and even some separation at the very end of the highest row of wingtips. Published price guides can be completely out of touch with this series if one attempts to find quality, choice, original and attractive pieces. These coins did not survive in meaningful numbers with significant meat and those who collect the series today recognize the true scarcity of original Barber half dollars. A small handful of coins that look like this piece would truly be a wonder to behold. ON HOLD
3) 1860-O PCGS MS64 Seated Liberty Dollar. WOW!!! I’ve had some cool coins on my site. I’ve had some high grade coins on my site. I’ve had some expensive coins on my site. However, I have never had such a cool coin as this 1860-O Seated Liberty dollar on my site. What appear to be small nicks and ticks all over the coin are really flecks of toning and the grade limiting hits or marks are the small milling mark above the eagle's head on the reverse as well as the luster graze primarily visible from stars three through five in the left obverse field. In my opinion this coin would stand a good shot at a PCGS MS64+ upon regrade, but it has only gone to PCGS one time to receive the MS64 grade. It has also never been sent to CAC, but I cannot imagine it failing to gain the green CAC sticker. The coin has very hard surfaces and terrific mint frost. It shows no evidence of having been dipped and does not look like the typical Treasury hoard coin released in the 1960s. Obviously, this is considered a "common" date for the series, but anyone reading this also knows that true MS64 pieces are still a bit tougher than many folks realize. My consignor obtained this coin raw in a broken down Kraft style envelope. As mentioned, it has been sent to PCGS only one time and was never treated with acetone or any other agent. I believe the coin is original as the day is long, but the eventual buyer would have to make that decision after in-hand inspection for him or herself. The coin is priced consistent with PCGS MS64+ money, which I believe is reflective of the overall quality of the coin. I simply cannot stress enough just how cool this coin is. This coin has never been sent to CAC for evaluation, but I guarantee that it will receive at least a green CAC sticker when submitted. $10,750.00
4) 1851-O PCGS EF40/CAC Liberty Eagle OGH. This particular issue is one of the most commonly found NM Liberty eagles, but it is scarcer than the great majority of WM Liberty eagles and is not truly a generic coin. Although considered common in the VF and EF grades, pieces that retain their original, unperturbed skin are far tougher than those that have been processed, lightened or otherwise “improved” over the years. At the recent FUN show I was quite fortunate to have been in place when an old, small grouping of Liberty eagles came to light. Each coin was in a PCGS OGH and each was graded EF40. I was the first to be able to choose from this group and this is one of the coins that was purchased. ON HOLD.
