5224 1796 B-1. Rarity-4. MS-60 (see below) $38,000.00

- lightly cleaned and retoned. Deeply reflective surfaces show a mélange of olive, rose, and gold tones under the surfaces on deep pewter gray surfaces. Strong lustre remains and significant prooflike flash can be seen in the fields. Magnification reveals some light hairlines, parallel diagonal obverse adjustment marks are most easily seen on Liberty's shoulder, hair and chin but can also...  more

1843 MS-65 (PCGS). Warm golden gray surfaces with rich underlying lustre and a wealth of bright electric...
Warm golden gray surfaces with rich underlying lustre and a wealth of bright electric blue in the recessed areas. A sharply struck gem with impressive eye appeal, a coin that warrants all the high laudatory praise we can muster. Small wonder this attractive gem is tied for finest certified by PCGS. The present specimen deserves the gem classification, as anything more than a casual glance...  more
5226 1887 Proof-67 (NGC) (see below) $3,400.00
1887 Proof-67 (NGC). A satiny and lustrous gem with reflective fields and frosty motifs that are richly...
A satiny and lustrous gem with reflective fields and frosty motifs that are richly toned in rose, gold, and, on the reverse, rich violet and electric blue. From a Proof mintage for the date of 710 pieces, with not very many survivors from that mintage able to "meet or beat" the quality offered here.

5227 1892 Type I. MS-64 (NGC) (see below) $450.00
1892 Type I. MS-64 (NGC). Light brown toning with splashes of gold, over richly lustrous surfaces....
Light brown toning with splashes of gold, over richly lustrous surfaces. Extremely well struck. The reverse is a so-called Type I (should be Variety I) with the end of the crossbar of E (UNITED) visible. A splendid example of the first year of issue, a coin which is incredibly low priced on today's market.
5228 1897 Proof-68 Ultra Cameo (NGC) (see below) $12,000.00
1897 Proof-68 Ultra Cameo (NGC). Heavily frosted motifs and deeply mirrored fields, pale champagne...
Heavily frosted motifs and deeply mirrored fields, pale champagne in color, form a startling and vivid cameo contrast. A truly splendid survivor from the Proof mintage for the date of 731 pieces. Of those seen thus far by NGC, only six grading events have been registered in the Ultra Cameo designation by NGC across the grading spectrum. Of that half dozen pieces, the present specimen is one...  more
5229 1897-O MS-61 (NGC) (see below) $800.00
1897-O MS-61 (NGC). Sharply struck (a distinct advantage), highly lustrous, and quite attractive....
Sharply struck (a distinct advantage), highly lustrous, and quite attractive. Silver surfaces with some light splashes of brown and blue. Although this piece is graded "only" MS-61, it is one of the nicest we have seen within that category, and certainly is deserving of a bid higher than one might normally place for such a listing.
5230 1901 Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS) (see below) $8,500.00
1901 Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). Brilliant with frosty cameo contrast, a piece which cannot be much different...
Brilliant with frosty cameo contrast, a piece which cannot be much different from the day it was struck.
5231 1903 Proof-63 (PCGS) (see below) $550.00
1903 Proof-63 (PCGS). Gunmetal-blue and mottled iridescent toning over well struck surfaces. Portrait...
Gunmetal-blue and mottled iridescent toning over well struck surfaces. Portrait lightly polished in the die, as on all Proofs, a difference that commenced at the mint in 1902, for reasons not known today.
5232 1904-O MS-64 (PCGS) (see below) $1,800.00
1904-O MS-64 (PCGS). Brilliant, lustrous, sharply struck, and rare. The only thing this 1904-O does...
Brilliant, lustrous, sharply struck, and rare. The only thing this 1904-O does not have is a high price attached. Such pieces are few and far between in the market, the same is more or less true for other mintmark Barber coins from the mid-1890s through and including 1905. We see lots of value here.

A lovely, lustrous example retaining much of its original lustre. About typical strike with some lightness at the centers. Within the assigned category the coin is very desirable. If you aspire to own an AU, consider this carefully.

A satiny gem with incredible cartwheel lustre that highlights rich rose and golden iridescence. Every bit the gem the label proclaims it to be.
5235 1917 Type I. MS-66 (PCGS) (see below) $900.00
1917 Type I. MS-66 (PCGS). A brilliant, lustrous specimen with excellent striking. The head details...
A brilliant, lustrous specimen with excellent striking. The head details are about 70% full, the shield rivets are complete, and the feathers can be seen on the breast of the eagle on the reverse. A dandy coin, sure to please. As it is not marked FH, it will be significantly less expensive than would otherwise be the case.
5236 1917 Type I. MS-65 FH (NGC) (see below) $1,000.00
1917 Type I. MS-65 FH (NGC). Highly lustrous with a nuance of faint gold beginning to creep in at...
Highly lustrous with a nuance of faint gold beginning to creep in at the rims. A satiny gem, a coin possessed of a sharp and bold strike, which not only includes Liberty's head details but the shield rivets and central chevron on Liberty's shield as well. This is gem quality.
5237 1917-D Type II. MS-64 FH (NGC) (see below) $700.00
1917-D Type II. MS-64 FH (NGC). Brilliant and lustrous. However, weak at the center of Miss Liberty,...
Brilliant and lustrous. However, weak at the center of Miss Liberty, light on several of the shield rivets, and light toward the top of the date. On the reverse the eagle details are similarly light. A "poster example" of why a descriptor beyond "FH" is essential for true connoisseurs to use. Still, the coin is what it is, highly lustrous and attractive.
5238 1918-D MS-64 (PCGS) (see below) $500.00
1918-D MS-64 (PCGS). Brilliant and lustrous. About 80% full head. Some other weakness at the center,...
Brilliant and lustrous. About 80% full head. Some other weakness at the center, but with good eye appeal. Attractive overall.
5239 1928-D MS-66 (PCGS) (see below) $650.00
1928-D MS-66 (PCGS). Brilliant, lustrous, and very attractive. About typical strike for 1928-D.
Brilliant, lustrous, and very attractive. About typical strike for 1928-D.

Medium gray and gold toning on both sides. An item for consideration for a buyer who opts for toning instead of brilliant lustre. Important as the rarest single date and mintmark issue in the Washington series, although the 1932-S has a slightly lower mintage figure.
5241 1932-D AU-58 (ANACS) (see below) $525.00
1932-D AU-58 (ANACS). Nearly all lustre still remains on this attractive example of the lowest mintage...
Nearly all lustre still remains on this attractive example of the lowest mintage regular issue in the series. Flecks of light gray and golden toning. A dandy AU-58, a coin that is just right if you are seeking this level.
5242 1932-D AU-55 (ANACS) (see below) $450.00
1932-D AU-55 (ANACS). Much lustre is still seen on both sides. Light yellow and gray toning. Another...
Much lustre is still seen on both sides. Light yellow and gray toning. Another quality example at this level.

1932-D EF-40 (ANACS). Graded EF-40, this coin shows light wear at the centers. However, significant...
Graded EF-40, this coin shows light wear at the centers. However, significant lustre can still be seen in certain areas, most notably at the lower right of the obverse.
5244 1937 Doubled Die Obverse. MS-64 (PCGS) (see below) $10,200.00
1937 Doubled Die Obverse. MS-64 (PCGS). Satiny pale golden surfaces show broadly sweeping cartwheel...
Satiny pale golden surfaces show broadly sweeping cartwheel lustre. A newly popular rarity in the Washington quarter series, a variety with doubling at IN GOD WE TRUST as dramatic as that shown on its better-known counterpart from 1934, and with unmistakable doubling at the date as well. This variety is currently represented in the PCGS Population Report by just 11 grading events across the...  more
