I have a small assortment of coins listed below. Shipping and insurance are paid for by me and all items may be returned within a one week (7-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. 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.
Additionally, at this time I am also offering an advanced notice email option whereby you may receive descriptions and prices of all new purchases after each major show or, in the event that a larger purchase is made between shows, as soon as I have a nice group of coins. Simply send me a PM with your email address or send an email requesting to be placed on the advanced notice list. I will not hammer you with emails or a sales pitch; only the occasional update to my site. Lastly, if you would like to read more frequent updates as to my business, you may want to follow or "like" me on Facebook.
Please note that all PCGS and NGC-certified coins listed on my site now have active links that take the viewer to the PCGS, NGC and CAC (where applicable) websites to verify certification, find price information and view past auction history.
1) 1941-S Washington Quarter PCGS MS65/CAC Rattler Holder
This coin has wonderful, thick skin with pretty toning clinging to the rims. There were no US Mint Sets produced in 1941 and finding an attractively toned Washington quarter from this era can be tough. This coin was most likely in an album for many years where it fortuitously acquired its lovely color. A single hit on the upper portion of the cheek, which looks more severe in the images than it does in-hand, likely kept the coin in an MS65 holder when submitted in the 1980s. $155.00
2) 1912-D Barber Half Dollar PCGS AU55/CAC OGH
No Barber half dollars are common in AU, but the 1912-D is one of those issues that is found with greater frequency than most others. Regardless, when they look like this coin, which possesses original skin with medium depth patina that is mostly a hint of auburn overlaid onto steely blue, they can be pretty scarce. ON HOLD
3) 1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS F15
There are some coins that simply do not appear in certain grade ranges or with certain surface preservation and the 1916-S Walking Liberty half dollar fits that category. You want an AG3? No problem. How about a cleaned, slick F12? That can be obtained. Is a dipped out AU50 okay? Easily found. Would an MS63 work? They can be acquired. It would seem that every original skin, mid-grade (F15 through EF45) coin for this issue has disappeared into some 1916-S Black Hole. In reality, very few exist and those that are extant are typically held quite tightly and for the long-term. My experience with this series leads me to believe that this is one of the three most difficult issues to find in mid-grade and indeed might have the lowest percentage of coins unmolested. $595.00
4) 1935 Connecticut Half Dollar PCGS MS65/CAC OGH
The Connecticut half dollar is my favorite US commemorative coin. The stylized Charter Oak paired with Art Deco eagle is a wonderful piece of work that is bold, clean and memorable. These generally tone in a splotchy brown pattern with few coins that actually obtain real color. Those pursuing the most colorful commemoratives would do well to avoid this issue. Here, however, is a coin with a thin ring of lime green and pink toning around the rim of most of the Charter Oak side and lesser so on the eagle side. Also, the Charter Oak has some splashes of color in the leaves. Otherwise, this is simply a high end gem with an antique white color. $625.00
5) 1881-S Morgan Dollar PCGS MS64
This and the other PCGS MS64 1881-S Morgan dollar offered here are from the same original roll. The MS65 coins were sold at a premium and the MS64 coins essentially sold at a loss. This is the most commonly available date in the series and the present coin is essentially completely white with strong die polish present on the reverse, which gives the coin a very cool look when tilted. It wasn’t all that long ago when MS64 Morgan dollars were fetching $110 or more. $89.00
6) 1881-S Morgan Dollar PCGS MS64
This and the other PCGS MS64 1881-S Morgan dollar offered here are from the same original roll. The MS65 coins were sold at a premium and the MS64 coins essentially sold at a loss. This is the most commonly available date in the series and the present coin is mostly white with a very pretty ring of golden toning on the rims, which gives the coin a very cool look. It wasn’t all that long ago when MS64 Morgan dollars were fetching $110 or more. $89.00
7) 1891 Liberty Eagle PCGS AU53 OGH
Last year I had a small group of Liberty half eagles with the same look as this coin and those pieces were snapped up rather quickly. This coin has some pronounced pumpkin hue, which is likely from the copper in the alloy, present on the surfaces and is quite nice to look at. Wholesale buy prices for these coins are approaching $1,000 while the gold content is in excess of $800 so there is surprisingly little numismatic premium built into these at the moment. ON HOLD
8) 1897 Liberty Eagle PCGS AU55/CAC
This is a fresh, undipped classic gold Liberty eagle with some scattered copper spots attesting to the alloy mix. I like the piece and it has quite a bit of character. ON HOLD
9) 2006 Three-Coin American Silver Eagle Set
This is a bit of an odd offering for me, but I have two of these sets each complete with original packaging. Sealed boxes containing sets have recently sold for $500-$600 per set, presumably because the coins are still First Strike eligible and they have not been picked over in the marketplace. While these sets are not sealed, I can guarantee that have not been picked over, either, as I have had these put away since the time of issue. Raw, open sets from unknown sellers have been selling at up to $425 each, but these are a bit less and are pristine. $379.00 Each
