I have a small assortment of coins and currency 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 and currency. 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.
All coins listed on my website now have direct links under them with their certification number, which allows access to the NGC, PCGS and/or CAC database, as applicable. This has been instituted to better allow my clients to research auction history of a particular coin, confirm certification status, view possible alternative images and ascertain an accurate market price. Additionally, I am now carrying currency and PMG-certified currency is likewise linked to the PMG database.
1) 1898 Barber Dime PCGS MS66/CAC
Mid-date coins are often saved in smaller numbers than those pieces issued either very early or very late within a series. This observation does not hold particularly well with Barber dimes where the great majority of the P-mint coins are available throughout the MS grade range. However, finding an MS66 piece is always at least a bit of a challenge. This coin has a delightful champagne color with delicate rose along the rims on both sides, though stronger on the reverse. Overall, the coin has an elegant air about it that would serve it well within a high end type set. Although readily available in MS, these MS66 pieces are not common and this is especially true with the additional CAC evaluation. $1,275.00
2) 1838 Seated Liberty Quarter No Drapery PCGS EF40/CAC OGH
Sometimes a coin speaks to you. This coin not only speaks to me, but it veritably sings, dances and tells jokes, too. Those familiar with building either a complete type set or a Seated Liberty quarter set will realize that the No Drapery coinage is more difficult than mintages might suggest. This coin has a great slate grey color, some luster around the devices, retained dirt and a superior strike to go along with its old green holder and CAC sticker. Also, it appears to be on sale since it sold at a Heritage auction three-years ago for essentially the same price it is offered at today. $725.00
3) 1851-O Seated Liberty Quarter PCGS F15/CAC
Tough coin! Not only is this a very difficult issue to obtain with any mean on it, but the present coin has original surfaces, too. The coin is a medium cocoa and grey mix that features remarkably clean surfaces especially considering its moderate amount of wear. This issue gets mighty expensive mighty quickly, yet can be had for a relatively affordable sum in this grade level provided it can be found. $1,595.00
4) 1892 Columbian Half Dollar NGC MS63
The reverse of this coin looks like a solid MS66, but the obverse has much more muted luster and seems to indicate that the coin might have been stored in such a manner to cut the luster on the obverse. The obverse is ringed with a tinge of greenish-blue and gold while the reverse has a snowy white center with strong rings of tight navy and gold. This is a common coin, but it has a very distinctive look. SOLD
5) 1897-O Barber Half Dollar ANACS VG10 Small White Holder
A portion of every letter of LIBERTY is visible in the headband of Ms. Liberty and this, along with the overall feel of the coin, is more consistent with how most collectors and dealers define an F12 than it is how they define a VG10. As an issue the 1897-O is one of the most difficult coins to obtain and this is especially true in the more collector friendly, circulated grades. The coin itself has a medium depth auburn color with obverse details most consistent with the F15 grade as shown on the PCGS Photograde site and reverse details most consistent with either the VG10 or F12 grade on the same site. This is a great coin for either an album or to keep in the holder. $335.00
6) 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. ON HOLD
7) 1840 Seated Liberty Dollar PCGS VF30/CAC
For some reason, the premier issue of the Seated Liberty dollar series was not saved in large numbers upon release. It may have been due to the fact that the new design shared a similar obverse to the Gobrecht dollar and a similar reverse to the Seated Liberty quarter and half dollar. Alternatively, it may have been due to the inherent value of a dollar. Regardless, these coins are much more difficult from 1840 than might otherwise be expected. This piece is a beautiful dove grey with even wear and good retained dirt while featuring no bad hits. Truly, this is how they should look. $795.00
8) 1870 Seated Liberty Dollar PCGS EF45 OGH
Here is a coin with a lot of color. It appears that this coin must have spent significant time in an album, which may have followed long term storage in an envelope. Both sides feature a ring of very deep and incomplete ring of navy and chestnut with splashes of greenish-blue in the fields. Truly, this is one interesting looking Seated Liberty dollar. $1,150.00
9) 1886 Morgan Dollar NGC MS64*/CAC
This Morgan dollar has a lovely double crescent of toning; one crescent for each the obverse and reverse. The toning matches quite well in color, depth and luster and features a delicate rose with blue. The coin itself has very clean surfaces and a bit more luster might have popped the coin into an MS65 holder. $315.00
10) 1896 Educational Series Silver Certificate $1 Fr#224 PMG AU55 Great Embossing
The Educational Series has had an avid following for as long as I have been involved in coinage and currency. These beautiful large sized notes feature allegorical studies and the $1 silver certificate is known as “History Instructing Youth”. In addition to the figures on the obverse, there is a ring of wreathes with the names of 23-great Americans. The reverse has large portraits of George and Martha Washington. This particular note saw extremely little wear, has bright, vivid colors of green on the reverse along with blue serial number and red seal on the obverse and terrific embossing as noted on the PMG holder. The “Great Embossing” notation given by PMG is actually quite rare, in my experience, and sets the note apart from other pieces within the grade. $1,995.00
11) 1922 Gold Certificate $50 Fr#1200 PMG VF25
The $50 gold certificates are very difficult to find and, oddly enough, when obtained they seem to be quite ratty on average. The current note has really nice golden-orange obverse printing with a bright orange reverse. This note has good body and much better than average centering, but it does have residual folds that traverse vertically and are much more obvious on the reverse. This is a difficult note and a good value. $795.00
12) 1928 Gold Certificate $10 Fr#2400 PMG EF45 EPQ
This is a crisp note from the small size gold certificate issues that has earned the coveted EPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality) designation from PMG. The note has nice color and BOLD denomination written across the obverse. This is a really choice piece. $315.00
13) 1928 Gold Certificate $20 Fr#2402 PMG VF35
There is minimal creasing and really no folds to speak of for this note, simply there is too much wear to put it into the EF category. The note is quite attractive and has those odd little “GOLD” titles written on the scrolls along with the BOLD denomination. This makes for a really interesting counterpart to later green seal notes. $265.00
