Full strike with a honey-gold tone with traces of lavender and emerald on the reverse.

1871 MS-64RB NGC (PS) $1,750
70% RED. Full strike. Very few marks. This is a very tough date to find so nice. Most examples are closr to full brown. This is a very under-rated date.

50% RED. Full strike. A very scarce subset of a very scarce date. There are hardly any marks.

1872 Shallow N MS-65RB PCGS (PS) $6,500
50% RED. Fully struck. This is one of the finest examples of this very tough date. The shallow N reverse is part of the main set for the 1870-72 dates and is very difficult in such a high grade. Very original surfaces.

1873 Open 3 MS-65RB NGC (PS) $1,750
75% RED. Fully struck with very few marks. This is a very attractive example of this tough date.

80% RED. Fully struck with amazing details. The coin has barely any marks and looks like a gem. It has lots of red and is a real beauty. It is important to have a very good representative of this date in a collection. This coin would be excellent representative in either a MS65 or a MS64 set.

80% RED. Fully struck with outstanding eye appeal. Very close to full red.

1883 MS-67RB NGC $1,800

1891 MS-65RB NGC (PS) $700

1866 Snow-2 MS-65RD PCGS (PS) $12,500
Fully struck with hardly any marks. This is a beautiful full red. This is one of the lowest pop dates in this grade. It has been a long time since a gem full red has come along. The last example of this date was the Carnton coin, which sold at this price within 10 minutes of the purchase deal two years ago at the FUN show.

1869 MS-65RD PCGS (PS) $10,000
Full strike. Intense luster and glorious full red color. This is an outstanding example with jaw-dropping eye appeal. One of the finest you will find of the grade.

1874 MS-65RD PCGS (PS) $5,500

1883 MS-66RD PCGS (PS) $7,500
Full strike and an awesome coin. The surfaces are virtually perfect and the luster in intense! The die state is slightly late, which contributes to the cartwheel luster. It would not be hard to see this in a 67RD holder.

1885 MS-65RD PCGS (PS) $2,750
Full strike with outstanding luster. the color is a bright red, which is typically found on dates in the 1885-1888 range. It is totally original and is slightly prooflike.

Full strike. This is a beautiful orginal red example with very few marks. This is a very tough date and this is an exceptional example.

Fully struck with outstanding surfaces. Great luster and very few marks.

1894 MS-65RD PCGS (PS) $1,350

1858 J-191 Flying Eagle / Laurel wreath PR-63 PCGS (PS) $3,750
Fully struck with outstanding eye appeal. There are hardly any marks. It looks better than the grade suggests. This is an important pattern being that it is a transitional die pair with the obverse of 1858 (small letters) and the reverse similar to 1859 (five leaves).

1858 J-208, Indian / Laurel wreath, Snow-PT28 AU-50 PCGS $1,100
Here is a lightly circulated 1858 Indian cent. Impress your friends and show them that your Indian Cent set starts a year early!

1858 J-208d, Snow-PT35, Indian / Laurel (6 leaf) Laurel PR-60 $2,000
The exact transitional of the Indian cent. The obverse is the pointed bust adopted in 1859 and the six-leaf wreath which is also the same as adopted. This is a very scarce and desirable pattern with only 9 examples traced. Unfortunately it is lightly cleaned. Pedigreed back to 1973.

1858 J-211, Snow-PT33, Indian (Pointed Bust) / Oak Wreath PR-63 PCGS (PS) CAC $2,750
Full strike with very few marks. This is a vary scarce example with the pointed bust portrait. Only 8 examples are traced with this example being eied for 4th finest known. It is an exceptional coin. The dies are rotated as shown.

1858 J-211, Snow-PT33, Indian / Oak Wreath. PR-65 NGC (PS) $7,500
The Transitional Indian head with a pointed bust. This is the finest known example. The mirrors are meduim, as are all of this issue. There are very few marks and no spots. Dies are rotated as shown. Only eight example are traced.

1858 J-212, Indian Head / Ornamental shield. PR-64 NGC (PS) $2,650

This is the exact transitional with the narrow bust point, just like 1859 and the Low Leaves reverse of 1858. The coin is very attractive and only a small scratch on the portrait. The coin is in an old 1st generation holder from over 23 years ago. Very scarce as only 8 are traced.

1859 J-228, Reverse of 1860. MS-63 $1,500
Fully struck, even on the shield. Great luster. This is a popular transitional pattern exactly like the 1860 pointed bust, but dated 1859. It looks like a gem but has slight evidence of a remove spot by the E in STATES.

1859 J-228, Type of 1860 MS-63 $850
Full strike a transitional example with the shield reverse from 1860. There is a stain on the reverse. The coin was in a PCGS holder graded MS63 and was broken out by a previous owner. Tag included.

1864 J-356a No L MS-64RB PCGS (PS) $2,750
Snow-PT1e. The Judd attribution on the holder is for a copper, thick planchet piece, but the coin looks like it has an alloy. It is fully struck with a sparkly silvery color.

1865 Plain 5 J-406 Nickel alloy PR-64 PCGS (PS) $4,250
A nickel cent struck with the regular proof dies with the Plain 5. In my book, I combine the copper-nickel and nickel alloy pieces into one designation. The combined rarity is between 10 to 15 pieces. However 8 of the 10 examples traced are from a diferent die, the same die that struck Plain 5 Snow-1. Only one other example has been found with this die and it is a J-404. As such, this is presently unique.

1856 Snow-4 PR-63 PCGS (PS) $20,000
The Low Leaves reverse of which less than10 are traced with an additional 5 patterns (J-183) from this same die pair. This is a very tough die pair that was struck in 1858 at the same time as the 12-piece pattern sets. The coin has fairly deep mirrors and a light golden tone around the date and devices. This obverse die is distinctive for its very shallow date and pointed U in UNITED.

1857 $20 Obv. Clash. Snow-7 AU-50 (net 40) $4,000
This is a very popular variety and this example has lots of luster still remaining. There are some edge bruses and weakness on the right side, which tempers the price and grade. Only two examples graded higher.

1857 25c Rev. Clash, Snow-8 AU-55 ANACS $900
The clash on the reverse is very well defined. The strike is a bit weak and there is some lack of definition on the outer design areas, especially on the obverse. Discounted a bit because of this.

1857 25c Rev. Clash, Snow-8 XF-40 $800
Well struck with very few marks. The Eagle clash from the Seated Quarter is very easy to see.

1857 25c Rev. Clash. Snow-8 XF-40 ANACS $900

1857 MS-64 PCGS (PS) $1,650

Fully struck. Deep golden tone. The coin has very few marks.

1857 MS-65 PCGS (PS) $4,250

1857 Obv of 1856 Snow-2 MS-62 NGC (PS) $1,250

1857 Snow-10 AU-58 PCGS (PS) $1,250
This is a very scarce repunched date in a very desirable grade. Very few marks. This is a PCGS registry variety, although it is not yet listed on the holder. This is athe 4th finest in the condition census.

1857 Snow-15 MS-64 NGC (PS) $1,750
Another doubled die, similar to the S3 and S4. The coin is fully struck with very few marks. A very desirable coin. Old fat-style holder from over 15 years ago. 

1857 Snow-16 MS-64 PCGS (PS) $3,500

Full strike with very few marks. As close to gem as you can get in a 64 holder.

1858 Large Letters MS-64 PCGS (PS) $1,650
Beautiful light golden tone. Slight weakness on the tail and wreath. Very few marks. It probably missed MS65 due to the strike.

Very well struck with very few marks. This is a beautiful example.

1858 Large Letters Snow-3 XF-40 $300

Low leaves reverse. Very lustrous with a light golden tone.

Fully struck. The second overdate known for 1857. This one has remnants of the 7 to the right of the 8 and an additional 1 to the left of the date. It is also a doubled die. This is one of the top ten examples known. A great coin which is very affordable.

1858/7 Snow-7 MS-65 NGC (PS) $55,000
The very scarce Type-2 overdate. This is the finest known example. The overdate feature is visible as an extra 7 to the right of the 8 and an extra 1 to the left of the 1. The coin is fully struck with minimal marks. It is also a very bold double die. Only 9 example known in MS condition and no more than 20 in all. This is much rarer than the Snow-1 overdate, which in this grade sells for over $100,000.

1910-S MS-65RB PCGS $500
90% RED. Very few marks. A few stains are present.

1912-D Lincoln Cent MS-65RD PCGS CAC $2,750

Well struck. Many light marks.

1859/1859 Snow-1 MS-63 NGC (PS) $3,750

1859/1859 Snow-1 MS-64 NGC (PS) $15,000
There are MS64's and there are MS64's. This is one of the only early die state pieces seen. The honey emerald and russet toning is incredible! There is a dark toning area on the the reverse which might be all that keeps it from a 65. The only MS-65 (NGC) sold for about this price 4 years ago.

1860 MS-62 NGC (PS) $250
Full strike with a few light marks.

Full strike with only a mark above the date holding it back from a gem.

1860 Snow-6 MS-65 PCGS (PS) $1,850
Toothpick variety. Fully struck and a beautiful example of the date. There is a strong die line from the mouth which looks like a toothpick.

1860 Snow-6 MS-66 NGC (PS) $4,500
The toothpick variety. So-labeled because of the thin die polish line from Lady Liberty's mouth. The coin is virtually perfect! It is hard to find any marks. It has a beautiful light golden tone.

Full strike and prooflike! This is one of the best examples of this date I have seen. The fields are heavily polished and are mirrored in one light and with die striations in another.

Full strike. Sharp early die state. Bright luster.

Very scarce date. Lots of luster, but the obverse die is very mushy from over use.

1864 Copper-Nickel AU-55 $225
Full strike with lots of luster. Would be AU58 but it has a few light wispy hairlines.

1864 No L MS-65RD PCGS $1,000
Well struck and a blazing full red, but struck on a tapered planchet which left part of the rim weak.

1864 No L Snow-11 MS-64BN PCGS CAC $400
Fully struck with very few marks. This variety has curious concentric lathe lines on the portrait. It is still not fully understood how they were created. This is a very early die state piece.

1864 No L Snow-11 MS-65RB PCGS $450
75% RED. Fully struck with very few marks. This variety shows concentric lathe lines across the face. Although there is a spot on the reverse, it is still a very attractive coin. It is in an old green-label holder from over 15 years ago.

1864 No L Snow-4 MS-65RB ANACS $7,500
40% RED. Fully struck. The finest known example of this scarce variety and the only early die state known. It is the plate coin in my book and is labeled as such on the holder. The doubling is very sharp on the LIBERTY, feathers, and hair curls.

1864 No L Thin Planchet, 2.9 grams MS-64BN NGC (PS) $250
Perhaps a tapered planchet, since it is onlly weak on one side.

1864 With L MS-66RB PCGS (PS) $15,000
100% RED. Fully struck and a wonderul lustrous gem. This is really a full red coin and really a MS66, so it should be a MS66RD and I would Photo Seal it as such. It is an outstanding coin which is nicer than the Epstein/Gorrell MS66RD example ($30K). 

1864 With L Snow-12 AU-55 NGC (PS) $400
Full strike with very few marks. This is a very tough date to get this nice. I didn't add any premium for the repunched date.

1865 Plain 5 Snow-2 MS-63RD ANACS $800

Full strike with attractive chocolate brown color. Light debris on surface.

1866 MS-64RB PCGS (PS) $1,000
