1855 Flying Eagle J-168 PR-64BN PCGS CAC (PS) $4,500
An attractive light chocolate brown example. There are hardly any marks. A great example of the Flying Eagle cent produced a year before the classic 1856.

1855 Flying Eagle J-173 PR-64BN PCGS (PS) $4,750
Two Leaves under E in STAES. Fully struck and a real beautiful example. There are really no marks or abrasions to warrant the grade. The dies show heavy die polish on both sides, but this is a desirable aspect of the coin. This is a very tough die pair with only eight examples graded by PCGS in all grades.

Fully struck with hardly a mark. It has an original chocolate brown look with very sharp features. The metrics of the coin are labeled on the holder.

1858 Flying Eagle / Laurel wreath J-191 PR-63 PCGS (PS) $4,000
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-208d Snow-PT35 Breen-1943 PR-64 PCGS (PS) $7,500
This is the rare exact transitional design of 1859 with the Pointed Bust obverse and Six Leaf Laurel Wreath reverse. The J-208 is a popular although relatively common pattern. But 99% of all examples are the Broad Bust and five Leaf Laurel die pair. I have traced only 9 examples. This is an outstanding example with only a small mark to the right of the date. There are some planchet streaks which my be the reason it is not a PR65. Only the Larson example is finer! Ex: NGC PR-65, Tag included.

1858 Small Eagle / Six-Leaf Laurel wreath J-202b PT-20 PR-65 PCGS (PS) $10,000
Six Leaf reverse as adopted in 1859. The finest known example of this very rare die pair. Only ten examples are believed to have been struck and only six are traced today. The mirrors are very deep and the devices frosty. It has a beautiful golden tone.

1868 J-608 PR-66 Cameo PCGS (PS) $2,450
The finest graded by PCGS. This small coin is about the size of a Half-Dime. It is what the cent would look like if Joseph Wharton had his way and made it propotional to the Five-cent and Three-cent nickels. If he was succsesful, what would we be calling "pennies" today? Hmm.. Nickels, Trickels and ...Pickles?

Flying Eagles

1856 Snow-1 "Titled ONE CENT" XF-45 (PCGS Genuine) $12,500
Here is the rare Snow-1 1856 which is probably the most famous and interesting die pair of the 1856's.

The coin is in a PCGS "Genuine" holder and should (and will) be sent back in to get the variety placed on the holder.

1856 Snow-3 XF-45 PCGS (PS) $12,500
Here is a beautiful original circulated example. This is the Snow-3 die pair which is the original striking of this issue. The coin has just light wear and very few marks.

1858/7 Snow-1 AU-55 PCGS (PS) $3,000

It was offered uncertified back in 1992 and brought $1800, so bidders at the time thought it was a gem. It still is! Ex:The Magic Collection, earlier Floyd Starr (1992).

Purchased from Eagle Eye in 1996.

1871 Shallow N Snow-5 AU-55 NGC $850

1873 Open 3 Snow-1 MS-63RB ANACS $850
50% RED. Well struck. This is a very scarce repunched date. The 3 looks like a Closed 3, but is really an Open 3. One of the top examples as a MS-63, but it has a large hit on the neck and might be better described as a MS-60RB. The reverse is a 64RB, bu this is a small consolation.

1873 Snow-1 Doubled LIBERTY AU-50 PCI $3,500
A chocolate brown example with lots of luster remaining. There is a long scratch from the ST in STATES to the first pearl. This reduces the price from about $5,000 to that listed. The doubling on the LIBERTY and the headress is very bold.

This has bold die file marks like 1864 CN S5. Although interesting, heavy die file marks fall into a die state status, rather than a true die variety. Some got in, but they shouldn't have.

1875 MS-64RD PCGS (PS) $2,000
Fully struck with only a few light marks. The color is a full gold with only a few light specks present.

1883 Breen-2005 MS-64BN PCGS (PS) $300

1883 MS-66RD PCGS (PS) $6,000
This is a very lustrous example with outstanding eye appeal. There are no marks to speak of, but it is a later die state which means there is more luster, but a slight distortion of the feather detail. The coin sits in a old light green holder from over 15 years ago. Coins in this grade from this era are very tough and in high demand.

1883 Snow-1 AU-50 $110
A cool variety with a 1 digit sticking out of the first pearl. An AU58 coin discounted because of a scratch on the reverse.

1883 Snow-1 MS-65BN PCGS (PS) $1,200

20% RED. Full strike with a few light marks and a spot by the second feather. The dies were very soft and the details on this variety are always very softly defined. The variety is a bold doubled die on the lower half of the reverse.

1888/7 Snow-1 Fine-15 PCGS (PS) $6,500
This is a very important variety which is lacking in most collections. This is a well-detailed example with original surfaces. The LIBERTY is full and the date shows the overdate very clearly. This grade level is right on the boundary where the price is reasonable and there is ample detail.

1909 VDB MS-64RD PCGS (..52) $125
Lustrous. Light spots on the reverse. Old 1st generation holder from over 20 years ago.

1909 VDB MS-65RD PCGS $275
Full strike with wonderful gold dust color.

1909 VDB PR-65RB PCGS CAC $52,000
40% RED. This is the toughest regular issue Lincoln Cent. The coin is essentially flawless with no obvious reason why it can not be graded higher. It has a golden amber color with a hint of emerald with magenta on the reverse. The 1909 VDB Proof was not released to collectors in a normal fashion. The entire mintage of 1,194 was struck in August 2, 1909. In a few days of the official release of regular issue cents, adverse media attention regarding the initials forced the Treasury Secretary only three days later to order the VDB removed. Millions of circulation issues were already released, but the Proofs that were already struck sat at the Mint. It is assumed that most of the Proof mintage was destroyed because less than 400 are known today. The Proof sets of 1909 were issued in five-piece "silver" sets and two-piece "minor" sets throughout 1909. Sets made prior to August had the Indian Cent. Later sets had the non-VDB cents. How were these VDB Proofs distributed? They were not sold through regular channels. The coins that did manage to get out were likely parceled out to friends of the Mint who specifically requested them. The rest were destroyed. All this contributes to a coin that has enormous numismatic importance. It was always known to be hard to find, but since the 1909 VDB business strike is so common, it has laid under the radar until the past decade. Here is a true calassic American Numismatic rarity.

Gold

1855 Kellogg $50 CHS restrike. Minted September 11, 2001 $5,750
Minted on the most infamous day in the 21st Century. This is a restrike minted from 2-1/2 oz. of gold recovered from a large bar from the SS Central America shipwreck of 1857. The dies were replicated from the real dies by Ron Landis. As a artifact of the California gold rush, it is a very important piece.
