Original silver surfaces with light golden overtones. Much nicer than the grade might suggest.

 O-120a RARITY 4

PCGS AU 58  11785644

This is the "broken shield" variety, an early die state that shows only the beginning of a die break between vertical stripes 3 and 4.

The flashing, intense cartwheel luster seems too vibrant for a coin that "only" grades au 58.

Indeed, the reverse appears to be uncirculated while the obverse shows just a bare minimum of rub on the very highest points.

The coin presents as essentially white with just a hint of champagne toning.

It would be difficult to imagine an uncirculated example with more eye appeal.

This piece certainly ranks in the top dozen specimens extant and would be perfect for inclusion in a medium grade type set.

0-103 RARITY 3 NGC AU 55

331356-003

Intense underlying luster flashes through deep lilac,violet and electric blue highlights on both sides.

Strongly struck from clashed dies this example seems to be closer to au58.

Outstanding eye appeal!

$10,500

Having searched under a 30x scope for any traces of friction or rub and finding none, we can only conclude that this is an uncirculated coin.

With full unbroken luster and an absence of contact marks or other blemishes we believe this coin to be at least ms 62, perhaps higher.

Pearl grey and reddish gold toning at the centers yield to navy blue and violet at the peripheries for exceptional eye appeal.

Both sides show excellent centering and complete dentilation.

$11,500

O-105a RARITY 4 NGC AU 58

1275255-026

A rare die state in grades au 58 and higher. Auction prices realized catalogues only a half dozen appearances at auction in the last ten years.

Intensely lustrous and attractive with pearl grey and gold centers deepening to pink, violet and electric blue at the peripheries.

$8,950

NGC MS 62 1800341-010

 NGC was certainly stingy with the grade on this gorgeous coin.

While they saw fit to limit the grade to ms 62 the coin blows right past most ms 63 examples.

The obverse center has mixed light gold and pink which deepens to blue at the periphery.

The reverse shows light golden grey mixed with original silver.

The pictures are quite accurate except they don't display the incredible radiant mint luster that enhances the original toning.

The eye appeal is outstanding and is equal to or surpasses most coins one will find in ms 63 and finer.

$16,950

Lustrous surfaces with a light gold patina.

Great eye appeal for this grade.

$725

6871520

If only all capped bust halves could look like this!

With blinding cartwheel luster and untoned blemish free surfaces, plus a strong strike, there is little left to be desired if one is seeking one of the most attractive cbh around.

$13,500

NGC MS 63  253114-003

Intense underlying lustre flashes through iridescent rainbow toning of magenta, gold, blue and grey

$2475

NGC MS 64  2230065-001

With a strong strike, booming cartwheel lustre and very clean surfaces this coin rivals most seen in the ms 65 grade.

 A truly premium quality piece that just barely misses the gem grade.

Certainly worth the premium asked.

$4450

Frosty luster accented by attractive pale gold and lilac which deepens to vivid pink and violet at the peripheries.

The central portions of the devices are stongly struck including the hair of Liberty and the eagles talons and feathers.

The reverse is flawless and only a thin hairline at Liberty's jawline apparently keeps this coin from a gem grade with a greysheet bid of $21,500

$9950

Essentially untoned with just a slight hint of light gold patina. Wonderful cameo contrast between the frosty devices and the deep mirrored fields which appear as black in the photo but are actually sparkling white.

$4250

PROOF 66 ULTRA CAMEO  3128649-001

An incredible coin with stunning deep cameo contrast. The richly frosted devices seem to float as icebergs on a deep dark sea.

All the design elements are crisply and fully struck with eye appeal that is simply outstanding.

Tied with only two others in this grade and there are only three finer.

$9950

3126309- 004

Deeply mirrored and showing great contrast between the watery fields and the frosty devices.

$3950

1972648-001

As always we pay a premium price for truly premium quality coins.

$1650

Brilliant silver centers ringed by wonderful lilac blue and sea green toning on the obverse with splashes of blue and gold on the reverse.

Terrific eye appeal.

$3150

The smooth, unblemished, white centers are ringed with fabulous peripheral toning of red-gold and cobalt blue.

The wonderful eye appeal is attested to with NGC's awarding of the star designation for exceptional beauty.

$6750

Well struck with bright lustrous untoned surfaces.
