1776 Continental Dollar - "Mind your business" 1962 Bowers Restrike - So Called Dollar HK-854a
Beautiful Proof example. Both PCGS & NGC will grade these and higher end pieces are fairly valuable. I think this one is cool as a raw piece with the original envelope from Empire Coin Co. (sold in the early 70's I believe) so I never sent it in to be entombed.
This was part of an old collection of tokens I purchased some years ago and the plastic it's in is brittle and aged. Whoever placed it in there also put a fingerprint on the coin. You can see it in the photo and I've never tried to remove it.
Aside from that, its a beautiful piece, Asking $80.
1879 General Grant Political Parade Token - Given out during a parade in Philadelphia as part of his presidential campaign.
Really high grade example with what I believe to be the original envelope it was given out in. I've never seen another one with the paper still and although I'm sure they're out there, this is the nicest one I've ever seen.
Prooflike fields and bold strike. It does have an unfortunate fingerprint on the obverse which is greatly exaggerated from the lights and the photo. Not nearly as glaring in hand.
SOLD , THANKS
1950 Something? Grease Filled Die Struck Lincoln Wheat Cent. Both front & back struck with the same greasy die...
I think this example is fairly unique. There's some mint red copper/luster around the obverse portrait giving a really cool halo effect. It's a pretty major example - I'm super curious what PCGS would grade it? Is it mint state? AU? I'm not sure... It probably circulated for a time but it's hard to say for certain what is wear and what is from the strike.
SOLD, THANKS
