First year of issue for the Indian/Buffalo Nickel series and with the Type I design. Rose and blue hues touch both sides of this lovely piece. Because of the large mintage, this date is obtainable in high end examples at very reasonable prices.

A solid Buffalo Nickel from the Denver Mint. The 1935-D is usually found with a weak strike, this one offered here shows a full strike on both sides. Immaculately preserved surfaces exhibit wonderful sea-blue and caramel toning.

With over 10.3 million coins struck in 1875 for the seated dime you would believe this to be an available date, unfortunately most survivors are found in circulated condition. This Superb gem is extremely rare, in fact this is one of 7 coins to receive this grade from NGC and only 4 from PCGS with not a single coin higher. Now yes it is rare, but with this intense toning? Almost non-existent!

From an original mintage of 575,056 pieces, one would expect this date to be a bit more available, but to date, PCGS has only graded 73 coins total in Uncirculated condition and NGC just 62. With regrades and crossovers, this number is much smaller. Branch Mint dimes from the 1890s are historically conditionally challenged and with the scarcity of its Quarter counterpart, the 1896-S is a popular and tough issue. This MS66 is one of only 4 coins to receive this grade with a lone coin receiving the 66+ grade. In addition to this date being popular because of rarity, it stands out with glowing rose gold hues that are highlighted by bluish-green rims. A truly spectacular example!

What a great little coin. Super clean centers are framed perfectly in concentric intense colors of caramel, amber, blue and violet. With over 19 million coins minted this is one of 37 coins to receive this grade. Gorgeous, rare and under $1000, what more can a collector want?

With a population of over 1.2 million this Denver date is surprisingly scarce in gem and higher grades. Here is blazing “near gem” example with phenomenal cartwheel luster that you can purchase for 5 times less than a MS65! This artistic beauty was designed by Anthony De Francisci, an Italian-American sculptor, using his wife, Teresa for the model of Ms. Liberty.

The 1860 is scarce in all Mint State grades with a measly 7036 business strikes issued. Yes, there are coins available in higher grades but just at the MS63 level, plan on paying a few thousand more. Radiant luster reveals just a minute amount of surface abrasions, accounting for the MS62 grade. The design elements are sharply detailed with bright yellow-orange color that electrifies both sides. A very strong example for the grade.

Always a tough design, with the broad, open fields that easily pick up marks and make examples such as this scarce. This coin also shows a faint original antique patina with creamy caramel rims. It’s always nice to pick up a great MS66 example under $500 rather than paying the extra $2000 for an MS67.

OK, this is not a scarce coin, but this Iowa Commemorative looks as if it was freshly struck yesterday. A solid coin that doesn’t break the bank.

From a small mintage of 5006 here is one of the most popular and beautiful commemoratives in the series, also from a great pedigree, the Guttag Family Collection. The surfaces are touched by light golden toning that deepens and brightens near the rims.

Silver and golden-amber brighten the surfaces of this tremendous Civil War Commemorative. Struck in 1925 to mark the 101st anniversary of General Stonewall Jackson’s birth. The Commemorative was designed by Gutzon Borglum who also did the Confederate Memorial Carving in Stone Mountain, Georgia depicting three Confederate leaders of the Civil War, President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson (and their favorite horses, “Blackjack”, “Traveller”, and “Little Sorrel).

This Civil War copper-Nickel cent is stunning in every way. Along with gold and silver coins, the Copper-Nickel cent was hoarded during the war, making it available in lower mint-state and circulated grades. Shimmering unbroken luster illuminates the golden-honey surfaces. The detailing on the headdress and laurel wreath is precise.

The 1877 is a Proof only date with a small mintage of only 510 coins. This is a beautiful frosty example that displays lively, pristine surfaces. At first glance this coin looks untoned, but under closer examination lively pastel iridescence sparkles and grabs your attention. A lovely Shield Nickel! From the Teich Family Collection.

Wonderful luster radiates from this Liberty Nickel. There is the lightest golden hue that touches the portrait adding to the crisp cameo devices and allowing them to really stand out. This coin was originally produced without the word cents under the “V”, and later added to stop some from gold plating the coins and passing them as $5 coins. A tough coin in this condition, and PCGS has not graded a single coin finer.

Super golden surfaces just add to the radiating luster that abounds from this marvelous Liberty Nickel. A great “high end” example with only 13 coins finer, a very undervalued series.

An outstanding “Black and White” Cameo mirrored proof example of this popular Barber date. Deeply reflective fields are enhanced by crisply contrasted devices. From a small mintage of 731 proof coins very few have received the coveted Cameo designation. A lot of coin for the price.
