Vibrant rainbow tones “pop” for the viewers delight on the lower half of the obverse. Always difficult to locate a Morgan Dollar with toning, but finding one to this degree, is always a pleasure. Yes, the color is the immediate draw, but take that away and what you see is sure thrill you. The strike is strong and the coin is very strong for the grade, in fact if you were to see this in a 65 holder, you would not question it. Housed in an “Old Rattler Holder.”

A tremendous coin with crisp frosty devices; this example is spectacular. Rose and blue swirl over both sides of this stunner! The design was by Charles Barber and ran for 30 years. A small mintage of 1,817 coins were minted for the year, this being one of 35 coins to receive this grade with only 3 finer.

With a large mintage of over 3.3 million pieces, one would expect to easily add this New Orleans mint date to their collection, and finding it in circulated condition, this is true. However, locating this in gem or better condition, this gets tough. This premium gem is one of only 9 coins to receive this grade from PCGS with just 2 coins finer. And looking at the impressive eye-appeal on this coin, it can rival even those. Glorious jewel tones of sapphire, aquamarine and ruby intoxicate the viewer and takes your breath away. Superior striking details are clearly evident on both sides. A wonderful opportunity for the Barber Collector!

A great opportunity to buy a super “Fresh” Seated Half Dollar that screams with originality. From an extremely small mintage of 4800 this coin is tough in any grade, but one at this level, brutal! This example has so much character. Wonderful golden-amber rims that highlight the bright un-marked centers. Bountiful luster with an exacting strike sums it up.

A gorgeous example of the only 25c commemorative coin! Plus coins offer such value in today’s market. The last MS66 Isabella sold in auction for $7475.00, while a MS67 just sold for a whopping $9775.00, this MS66 + seems like a “no brainer”. A super, well preserved example, with golden-mahogany that kisses the peripheries and leaves the center, bright and lively. Distributed at the Chicago Columbian Exposition but was completely overshadowed by the Columbian Half Dollar that was also being distributed. An original order for 40,000 coins were to be minted, but because of lack of demand, and interest, 15,809 coins were returned to the mint for melting.

You can spend the 20-30 thousand dollars on one of the 4 MS67 Alabama 2×2’s graded by PCGS or you can buy this example, the lone MS66+ for four or five times less. But you may ask is this less of a coin? No way, gorgeous, lustrous surfaces glisten beneath the design, a design by the way that is impeccable. A great value for an outstanding coin!

This is the lone example to receive the MS67+ grade from PCGS, with just a single coin finer. Crystal blue centers gently flow to golden glowing rims that glisten with rainbow hues. A delightful treat for the viewer! Always a popular and a beautiful design that was minted 5 years, this 1934 being the inaugural year, which was the only year that the coin was only minted in Philadelphia, the 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1938 were minted at all three mints.

Tied for the finest known! Breathtaking tones of fiery amber-gold radiate though out the precision like obverse design while warm magenta and emerald green touch the outermost rims. The same tones are seen on the reverse, but they are much more intense. A phenomenal proof Two Cent Piece! The Two Cent Piece has always been in high demand and finding those special pieces with great surfaces, is tough. A great series to collect; the two cent piece only ran for nine years

Fantastic detail just adds to this amazingly toned Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The centers look as when it was minted but the rims are ablaze with golden-honey, red-rose and glowing sky-blue. Just a phenomenal San Francisco Mint Walker.

The Jefferson Nickel was designed by Felix Schlag. Schlag’s original design was of a side view of Monticello on the reverse but was rejected by the Federal Fine Arts Commission. Although minor changes have been made though-out the years, the basic design is still in use today. This stunning example displays intense golden tones that flow into gentle rainbow hues that near the portrait.

Yes, this is a tough coin, PCGS has only graded 1 coin at this level, with 7 examples finer, but this example has much more going for it. The colors that are seen on this Barber are spectacular!
