A wonderful example of how a 210 year old coin should look when properly cared for. Never cleaned or abused, it exibits satiny luster underneath its two century old patina. Simply spendid.
Historical Note: President Washington had been dead less than a year, and the Louisiana Purchase was four years away when this piece was minted.

The second design of what was to become the workhorse of the U.S. currency. Struck only a short eight years after the establishment of the U.S. mint, with a scant mintage of 37,628.
Keep in mind that this coin was minted 4 years before the “Louisiana Purchase” of 1804.
A choice piece that is sure to provide great “pride of ownership” to its next caretaker.

A very impressive and conditionally challenging example of this popular first-year of issue for the Classic Head series. Because of the large mintage of over $657 million, this coin is quite available in AU and XF grades, but finding one in uncirculated condition is quite a feat. This beautiful coin has luminous yellow surfaces with a precision like strike that shows amazing definition in all aspects of the design.

Congress reduced the authorized weight of the various denominations through the Act of June 28, 1834. On August 2, 1834, the new standard went into effect. For the quarter eagle the weight was reduced from 8.75 grams to 8.36 grams. To readily distinguish the new coins from the old, modified designs were introduced. Chief Engraver William Kneass created what we call the Classic Head today. This is an amazing example with fully struck devices that are set off by the creamy yellow-gold coloration. Among Classic Head issues, the 1835 is scarcer in Uncirculated grades than the more heavily produced 1834 and 1836.

A more affordable example of this conditionally challenging O-mint Five, the surfaces are remarkably free of sizeable abrasions from its brief time in circulation. Nicely struck with bright yellow-gold coloration and plenty of rich luster remains throughout. A great type coin.

Extremely scarce with a small mintage of 9000 pieces struck for the last “No Motto” issue. Nice yellow gold color, most devices visible.
Coins of this grade attest to the fact that they were the “work horse” of the American economy in old west.

From a small mintage of 21, 198 comes this handsome 1874 Carson City half eagle. Soft muted luster adds to the wonderful eye appeal of this tough coin. A perfect coin for the numismatist who has looked long and hard for his/her Carson City gold piece.

The ’82-CC is one of the more frequently encountered Carson City Half Eagles, and is often the choice for type purposes. This Half Eagle Still has plenty of original luster and shows lovely golden color. Obviously original and quite desirable.
PCGS Cert #06753374
PCGS / NGC Population:
This well preserved half eagle is from a relatively available issue, but is desirable since it is high-end for the grade.
Both sides are crisply impressed. There are no abrasions that are out of context with the assigned grade.

A handsome example of what might be considered the most “common” Carson City half eagle. In our opinion there are NO common Carson City when it comes to this degree of preservation. Soft muted luster without any major marks. The “eye appeal” of this piece is undeniable. A perfect coin for the numismatist who has looked long and hard for his/her Carson City gold piece.

An extraordinary five dollar Liberty. Boldly struck throughout with rich yellow-golden luster equally coating each side. The surfaces lack the bagmarks from coin to coin contact that plague most survivors. PCGS has only graded one coin higher.
