A wonderfully toned Half Dime with fully original surfaces and not a trace of visible wear. Beautifully colorful, though my photographic skills have trouble catching it, and a proof like cameo effect on the reverse make the observer ask why this coin wasn't graded mint state. CAC likes it too, awarding this coin a coveted Gold Bean. Too bad my photography skills aren't good enough to fully capture the color and beauty of this coin.

PCGS MS 64
|
Ex: Louis Eliasberg, Sr. Purchased from the Gene Gardner sale in 2015, this toned half dime is CAC approved and look nicer in hand than the Heritage Auction photo accompanying the sale. At $881.25 including buyers premium, the coin was purchased at less than half of its original sale price of $1870 (as an estimated grade of MS66) in the 1996 Eliasberg sale, where it was touted as "possibly the finest known specimen" and "a remarkable opportunity for the discerning specialist". Today the coin resides in a PCGS MS64 holder with a green CAC sticker. Having examined the coin closely, I disagree with both grades, and feel the coin is a probable MS65, or at least a PCGS 64+. She's a nice coin, certainly, but the lofty 1996 marketing of the lot as MS66 wasn't realistic then and still isn't today.

Certainly this is one of the finer examples known." Graded PF65 by PCGS in 1996 (old green holder), the coin has not been photographed or sent to CAC, but the only uncertainty is whether it deserves a green sticker or the coveted gold football.

We couldn't decide between this low mintage proof and the equally attractive 1873 circulation strike in our collection. So we decided to keep both. That's the beauty of NGC Custom Sets. One can make his own rules as he builds his collection. One can't make any more 1871 Proof Nickels, however, and the 960 coin low mintage of this issue makes it a keeper. This coin is housed in an older PCGS green holder.

Probably my favorite owned coin, this 1881 Seated Liberty Dime resides in a Proof 66 PCGS holder with a CAC sticker, but the beauty of the coin goes far beyond its technical grade. Only the photographs of this toned coin can convey the quality and beauty of this low mintage issue. I truly believe that this coin, if resubmitted, would upgrade to MS66+ or possibly MS67. Mintage: 975. Realized $1430 in the May 1996 Eliasberg sale, lot 1222. Sold again 1/4/2007 for $2760, Heritage FUN show (Orlando). Ex: William Dickinson Collection; Chapman Brothers; J.M.
