The “Making the Grade” Featured Coin:
In each newsletter I pick out one coin to highlight. It doesn't have to be expensive; it just has to be interesting. Here is the pick of this newsletter. It happens to be expensive, but it is a rare and important coin.
1826/5 Capped Head Quarter Eagle. PCGS AU50 CAC
This is the key date to this short series, and very difficult to find in any degree of wholesomeness. It is usually the last coin in the series to be added to a date set (along with the 1834, if one is collecting the Reduced Size quarter eagles as well). This is only one of 3 coins to be verified by CAC in all grades combined [see photo below]. $42,500.
NEWPS Too New for Photos (in most cases)
I pledge to upload most if not all of the coins listed below onto my website (with deluxe color images, of course) very soon.
Next week I will be featuring a large group of spectacularly toned commems in the newsletter. So stay tuned for that.
1818 Large Cent. PCGS MS64 BN
The coin retains all of its cartwheel luster and about 20% of its mint red. $1495.
1820 Large Cent. PCGS MS63 BN
Large Date. Slightly prooflike, and has a magnificent appearance as such. $1150.
1844 Large Cent. PCGS AU58.
Even chestnut brown, with much cartwheel luster. A bit tougher date to find like this. $550.
1850 Large Cent. PCGS MS65 BN.
Booming, swirling cartwheel luster (something you cannot say about most large cents, regardless of grade) under tan surfaces. $1295.
1857 Flying Eagle Cent. NGC MS65 [fatty].
A dazzlingly toned example of this beautiful design. Rainbow rings of gold, green, blue & russet come in from the rims on both sides. The strike is bold, with every exacting detail of the eagle and the wreath visible. Even gems of this popular and short series can be ho hum. Not this one. $4500.
1882 Indian Cent. PCGS MS65RB [rattler].
About 40% brilliant red and 0% mellowed red. Stable since it is in the rattler for 25+ years. $425.
1897 Liberty Nickel. PCGS MS64.
Quite special due to the rings of Colorful pastel blue and gold toning on both sides. Great for a toned type set or date set, as toned V nickels are tough to find. $335.
1927 Buffalo Nickel. PCGS MS65 CAC
Super flashy luster, with faint gold and blue hues. Just gorgeous.$325
1947 Jefferson Nickel. PCGS MS66+
Normally not my kind of coin, but this is a toner with vibrant gold, blue and fading to light pink in the centers. Again – nickel coinage is very difficult to find toned, and beautifully toned nickel coins such as this are even tougher. $235
1910 Liberty Nickel. PCGS MS65 CAC.
Flashy, super-lustrous, well struck. $645.
1939 Mercury Dime. PCGS PR66 CAC [ogh].
White, flashy but with a faint patina of gold to show that it has never been dipped. Circa 1990 slab. $425
1942 Mercury Dime. PCGS PR65 CAC.
A pure white obverse and some light golden toning. The obverse has some slight cameo contrast. $265.
1900 Barber Quarter. NGC PF67.
Completely original. With hard mirrors, and lightly toned in variegated gold, green and light blue. Looks like it came straight from an original proof set. $3950.
1808 Bust Half Dollar. PCGS VF20.
For fans of spectacular toning – have I got a coin for you. Rings of gold, green and blue fade to white centers. Expect to be wowed [see photo below]. $495.
1810 Bust Half Dollar. PCGS VF20 [OGH].
Vibrant blue at the periphery fading to gold, gray and white centers. Another coin from a small group of vibrantly toned early type that I came across. $460.
1830 Bust Half Dollar. PCGS VF35.
Small O. Wild concentric rings of brilliant gold, green, and blue toning. Yet another coin for the toning enthusiast. $325
1876 Seated Half Dollar. PCGS AU53.
Vibrant cerulean blue fades to deep gold on the obverse, which sports a near-white center. The reverse has only slight golden peripheral toning. $460
1937 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. PCGS MS65 CAC [rattler].
White, and utterly untouched by human hands for 25+ years. $285.
1941-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. NGC MS65 CAC [fatty].
Creamy white and lustrous, and nearly perfect. $255.
1945 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. PCGS MS65 CAC.
Faintly golden and blue. $255.
1946-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar. PCGS MS65+ CAC.
A ring of light golden toning fades to creamy, pristine surfaces. $325.
1898 Morgan Dollar. PCGS MS64 CAC.
A spectacular two-sided toner. The prettiest coin in this listing, and that is really saying something [see photo below]. $495.
1921-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS MS64+.
Pure white and oh-so-close to a full MS65 on this San Francisco mint issue (an MS65 would sell for $1,250). $350.
1927 Indian Quarter Eagle. NGC MS63 CAC [fatty].
Rich gold and super lustrous. Like they used to grade them in the early days of the services. $750.
1921 Alabama 2x2 Commemorative Half Dollar. PCGS MS64 CAC.
White, lustrous. Booming luster of the kind not frequently seen on an Alabama. $700.
1936 Norfolk Commemorative Half Dollar. NGC MS66 Gold CAC [fatty].
A ring of light golden russet. Basically perfect. Everyone should have at least one God CAC'd coin in their collection, if only as a conversation and study piece. $695.
1925 Norse Medal. Thin. PCGS MS63.
Full, strong cartwheel with areas of blue and russet toning. $495
1936 Robinson Commemorative Half Dollar. PCGS MS65 CAC.
Light pastel blue toning in the fields serves to highlight the frosted devices. $345.
1925 Vancouver Commemorative Half Dollar. PCGS MS64.
A pure white knockout with the tiniest crescent of toning at part of both the obverse and reverse rims. $595.
1794 Flowing Hair Half Dime. Counterfeit; Struck in Copper. XF [uncertified] .
I cannot say with certainty if this coin is a circulating contemporary counterfeit, so I am not labeling it as one. Nevertheless it is a crude representation, and is struck in copper instead of silver. Ex. My personal collection. $750.
1844 Liberty Eagle. Copper. Contemporary Counterfeit. Very Fine [uncertified].
Quite crude, and very likely meant to pass as a genuine $10 gold coin at the time of manufacture. The only specimen I have seen in all my years of collecting these. $275.
