View Coin 1811 United States 1/2C 1811 PCGS F 15 BN My favorite half cent date. Most are the ugliest of the uglies.
1823
1831
1847
View Coin 1861 United States 10C 1861 S NGC VF Love those Civil War dated San Francisco dimes. I have an 1862-S too, but 1862 is not a prime number.
1867
1871
1873
View Coin 1877 United States 10C 1877 NGC IMPROPERLY CLEANED
View Coin 1889 United States $1 1889 PCGS MS 65 DPL VAM-8PCGS has only graded 3 higher, at MS66 DMPL.Also have a PCGS MS64DMPL in VAM-9 (SLANTED DATE).DMPL Condition Census (date): 3 x 66DM(P), 1 x 66DM(N), 26 x 65DM(P), 12 x 65DM(N)
View Coin 1901 United States $1 1901 PCGS MS 61 DPL 1901 PCGS MS61 DMPL VAM-13The date is a foremost rarity in mint state to start, a key in the series. As a prooflike it is an ultrararity. This specimen is the ONLY DMPL certified. I believe it is the one previously in the Spokane Collection.VAM-13 is one of the C4/C3 reverses with a prominent doubled olive. The other C4/C3 reverses for the date only have a shallow ghost of the second olive. Many other features are doubled as well, notably the eagle's eye and nostril as well as the olive branch and arrows.Despite the fact that this lone DMPL has mild contrast between fields and devices, the mirrors are quite deep. I can read the grey sheet from a foot away using it. It also claims a good strike. Liberty's hair is very struck up. The eagle's breast feathers are just short of fully struck. Weakness is noted in the stars by the date, typical for many Philadelphia and New Orleans dates between 1890 and 1902.
