The 1925 P Mercury Dime is a common issue, in the context of pre 1934 issues. This example however in MS67 FB is quite challenging, very few survivors at this level of preservation, and the coin is clearly original.

Owner Comments
1937 was the second year of the brilliant modern proof Lincoln Cents and saw a mintage of just 9,320, the last year with a mintage below 10,000. This example is a hard to find Red PF67 Cameo with interesting toning in hues of copper red and golden orange. The holder is quite rough and makes the coin difficult to photograph, may reholder.

The 1937 Quarter has the second lowest mintage in the series with 5542 minted and becomes a truly scarce coin in grades PF67 and higher. This PF67+ example has nearly flawless surfaces, great mirrors and eye appeal. Between NGC and PCGC only 33 have graded higher.

Owner Comments
The 1893 S, with a mintage of just 77,000 is the King of circulation strike Morgan’s and is not cheap in any grade. Why I selected this coin: due to the cost of this issue I have chosen a coin graded as G6, the only Good in my Morgan collection and still valued at approx. $2,500 even in this grade. This coin has nice even wear, problem free surfaces, a natural battleship gray color, and remaining detail looks very close to VG.

The 1894 S is another fairly common date Double Eagle. This MS62 has a nice rich color along with good luster, it does show some light contact marks as expected with a 62 grade, but nothing particularly distracting.

Owner Comments
The Classic Head Half Eagle was minted for just 5 years, from 1834-1838. They were popular for use in commerce and as a result are challenging to find in higher AU grades and higher. This AU58 example has great eye appeal, the reverse is close to PL, it has just a touch of wear, great surfaces and a good amount of luster is present.

Owner Comments
The Walking Liberty Half was minted from 1916-1947 and is another that was part of the coin renaissance of the early 20th century. I have again selected a proof coin as the representative of this example. This coin has great eye appeal with a nearly cameo look, very rare among the Walker Proofs. It has great mirrors, exceptional surfaces, with light toning around the perimeter. In addition to earning a grade of PF68 it has also earned a star designation for exceptional eye appeal.

The type 2 Liberty Double Eagle with a mintage run from 1866-1876 is the toughest of the Liberty Double Eagles and quite a challenging issue overall. This AU58 example has nice color, plenty of luster and very light wear.

From 1908 till the end of the Gold Eagle for production as a coin for commerce at least, in 1933 it was produced with the Motto. This coin is a great example that on a good day would be a Gem, MS 64+ with a CAC sticker, coin has great strike, color, luster, and surfaces with just a few light notable only under magnification, contact marks.

The 1894 O is a challenge to find in any grade, and is the last half Eagle from the New Orleans mint. This coin is a bit scruffy, but has very nice color, luster, and some PL reflectivity and overall I consider it PQ for the grade. Only 17 graded higher at NGC, and 13 at PCGS. Mintage of only 16,600.

The final true Silver Dollar began in 1921 issued to memorialize the peace following WWI. The first year a high relief version was minted but due to production issues was modified to low relief version after the initial year. This example has an above average if not great strike light toning with plenty of luster and mostly smooth surfaces.

The 1938 Mercury Proof with a mintage of 8,728 is a bit easier to find than its predecessors, however, is slightly scarcer in the highest grades as only 10 have graded higher than 68 from either NGC or PCGS. This coin has deep mirrors, nearly flawless surfaces, and the reverse has as much cameo contrast as I have ever seen on a Mercury Dime proof. Exceptional eye appeal.
