1856 Snow 3. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$17,500.00 |
A desirable coin in this grade and format and one of the key dates to the entire Flying Eagle and Indian Cent series. Toned medium brown with traces of verdigris touching the rims and attractive for the grade. The strike is average for the issue. Apparently the majority of these were intended for circulation, but most were set aside as the first of their kind. The then current Large... more |

|
VERY CH BU |
$800.00 |
A frosty and bright coin that retains a lot of mint flash and appeal. No distracting spots have formed on the obverse, although there is a minor one near the right edge of the reverse. An impressive example of this short-lived type coin. PCGS MS64. |

1860 Pointed Bust. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
VERY CH BU |
$650.00 |
A sharp, frosty and bright example of this early Indian Cent. The head of Liberty is particularly bold and attractive, with no signs of spots or similar handling. On the reverse there is a trace of a fingerprint in the form of shadowy specks near the center, which scarcely show at all. A couple of tiny ticks on the truncation and in the field before Liberty's nose hold this one back... more |

1864 Copper-Nickel. Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
SUP GEM BU |
$400.00 |
Attractive amber toning at the peripheries and sharp. The centers have lighter straw-gold and both sides have acquired a dusting of haze. One minute speck at the top of the 'C' in AMERICA, and the surfaces are a delight with no signs of contact readily apparent. A common date in uncommon condition. |

1864 Bronze. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$380.00 |
A blazing Red coin that has no signs of spotting or fingerprints. The surfaces are exceptionally clean and lack the usual minor handling nicks present on most examples. The strike is reasonably sharp but a touch soft on the feather tips, and both dies show strong evidence of clashing. An extraordinary example of this date. NGC MS66 Red. |

A vibrant, radiant Red coin that boasts a sharp strike on the obverse and reverse devices, with exceptional lustre in the fields.

1869/69 Snow 3b. Repunched '69'. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$1,100.00 |
Here is a most perfectly balanced near-Gem featuring red and brown lustre and a bold strike on both sides. A solitary spot at 12:00 on the obverse is all that keeps this gorgeous specimen from a full Gem grade. This repunched date was long thought to be a 69/68 overdate. Although modern wisdom has corrected this error, collectors avidly pursue this variety for the strength of the repunching... more |

Glowing amber lustre joins lovely medium brown toning on this original, red and brown specimen.

1879 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated

GEM BU |
$100.00 |
Full Red on the obverse, slightly faded on the reverse. The strike is average, with softness noted on the second feather tip from the top, but the balance of the coin is sharp.

VERY CH BU |

- and still retaining virtually all of its original mint color. Sharply struck legends and devices are accompanied by a rich, satiny glow. There is a trace of fading at the reverse periphery, otherwise this impressive coin is quite red. A highly underrated issue in this state of preservation, and certainly worthy of strong bidder interest. |

1886 Type II. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated

VERY CH BU |
$1,300.00 |
For unknown reasons, the Type II Cents of this year that retain the full Red color are quite scarce. The surfaces on the present coin are gorgeous and the color shows just a hint of fading and a trace of a fingerprint on Liberty's neck. Difficult to locate this nice, and nearly impossible to obtain in a full Gem grade. PCGS MS64RD. |

This lovingly preserved Indian Cent is astounding in its beauty. Its obverse is deeply mirrored and toned in awesome gold, blue, violet and brown toning, while the reverse is a bright yellow-gold and rose in tone. Although 2,031 Proofs were struck in 1899, this specimen is undoubtedly one of the most attractive survivors of the issue. |
