The latest word from my new web site company is they are working on updating the code on the "back side" of my web site. The plan is to completely remake the site with up-to-date code. The result should be basically an identical web site that works. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I was told it should be finished around the end of June or first week in July. Currently my old company is still hosting the crippled site, but they are supposedly ending operations June 30. I expect this site to disappear on or before that date. So it's possible that I will have NO web site for a week or so...hopefully that won't happen.

I am still able to make changes to the Home Page listings, but am unable to make changes to the "Coin Inventory with Thumbnails", so please call or email to confirm availability or request photos.

I DO NOT send coins to CAC and DO NOT designate CAC in my listings. Many of the coins in my inventory were purchased with CAC stickers. Please call or email about a specific coin or full list of CAC coins

New Purchases from June Long Beach and Great British from the repurchase of my British Collection:

1787 Fugio Cent (United States Variety) MS64BN NGC This Fugio has soooo much going for it. First off is a great strike front and back with every detail of the design and lettering bold and fully struck...easily in the top 10% OF THE GRADE for strike. Color is a nice even chocolate brown with tinges of original RED throughout. Surfaces are spectacular, free of marks with shimmering full luster, a characteristic that is RARE in Fugios. Also, this is the United States variety, not States United and much scarcer with this type showing a pop of only six coins graded MS64BN compared to 29 of the States United variety grading MS64BN. Distinct evidence of die clashing resulted in clear impressions of the reverse rings on the obverse. A few minor fly specks, as made, are the only detraction to this coin, accounting for the MS64 grade. IMO this coin would have deserved a MS66 grade without them and a price in the $13,000-$15000 range. Spectacular FUGIO...$6400

*SOLD* 1875-S Twenty Cent MS62 NGC Purchased from a dealer who bought it in a collection and sent it once to NGC, expecting a MS63 grade. I can't argue. This coin is fully struck, super nice surfaces, brilliant flashy white with blasting full luster. Amazing quality for the grade and price...$1250

1875 Seated Liberty Quarter MS62 NGC Well struck, very clean and fully lustrous with lovely light violet patina going to blue at the peripheries from 4 to 12 o'clock. Reverse shows just a hint of rose patina overall with blue rim toning. Not sure why this coin is not in a MS63 or MS64 holder. Looking for a great Seated Quarter type on a budget...$675

1939-D Oregon MS66 PCGS An original GEM, basically brilliant, but with a hint of ice blue patina overall. The usual satiny finish that is characteristic of this date, but with considerable flash, that is not characteristic of this date. A amazingly low mintage of 3,004. If this coin was Modern and had a mintage of 3000, it would be worth multiples of the current price...and every coin would be a perfect GEM housed in a Mint issued plastic case. One of the best values of the current coin market and a classic design...$875

World Coins:

*ON HOLD* 1807S CN Spain 2 Escudo Gold (22 mm) MS65 NGC An amazing condition rarity showing a sharp strike, clean surfaces and full luster.

1817 Coronet Cent (N-13, Frank Thomas Collection) MS62BN NGC Possibly the nicest coin for this grade that I have seen and certainly in the top 1% of this grade. Nicely struck with beautiful even chocolate brown color and strong luster. Completely free of spots and other distractions...$785
1818 Coronet Cent (N-10) MS63BN PCGS Very pleasing well struck specimen showing even, distraction free chocolate brown color with full luster...$875

1884 Indian Cent PF67RB NGC Just slightly mellowed from bright RED to a golden-rose patina on basically flawless, fully reflective surfaces. A beautiful Gem Proof...$2250

1906 Indian Cent MS67RB NGC Perfection is truly elusive when it comes to Indian Cents, but the present coin is about as close as you will get. Fully struck with impeccable, spot free surfaces and finished with a just slightly mellowed violet-orange-red color on the obverse and bright original RED on the reverse. Super strong, glowing luster finishes this one-in-a-million type coin. I can't tell you how many Indian cents graded MS66 and even 67 RED that are just unacceptable to me because of cuts or carbon spots. And these coins sell for multiples of the price of this problem free Monster Gem...$1485

1864 Two Cent MS66BN PCGS A stunning Two Cent Piece and one of only TWO graded by PCGS, with none grading higher. A full sharp strike on both sides, this lovely copper shows blue and rose highlights on even chocolate brown surfaces and is finished with glowing luster. Knockout quality and eye-appeal...$2075

1864 Two Cent MS66+BN NGC (Aspen Park Collection) This is the finest large cent for the BN or RB designation that I have seen. The strike is full and sharp. The color is far from Brown. Instead bluish-rose highlights perfectly blend with even chocolate brown on both sides. Surfaces are basically flawless and the luster glows. Inimproveable in terms of both technical quality and eye-appeal...$2500

*SOLD* 1865 Two Cent MS65RD NGC I buy almost no RED copper from this era for one reason. Virtually every piece is blotchy, has dark carbon spots and has poor eye-appeal. On occasion I find an exception and am thrilled when I can be the one to bring it to market. This Two Cent is the best for the grade that I have seen in many years. Fully struck, fully RED and fully lustrous, with no problems, marks or obvious carbon spotting. This coin is so exceptional, the dealer I purchased it from cracked it out of a MS65RD PCGS holder going for a MS66RD grade. NGC also graded the coin MS65RD and it comes with the old PCGS insert No. 5694237...$1975

Sharply struck front and back, this coin has MS64 quality surfaces and beautiful bullseye toning, starting with very light violet in the center, going out to medium violet in the fields and finished with medium sky blue around the peripheries. Reverse is similarly toned and the luster is strong. Off-the-charts quality and eye-appeal for the price...$1950

1911 Barber Dime MS65 PCGS Brilliant flashy white, this coin looks like it just dropped from the presses. A true Gem that shows a full strike, super clean surfaces (unlike most of the grade) and bright, blazing luster...$750

1912 Barber Dime PF65 CAMEO NGC Very strong brilliant Black and White Cameo with snowy white frosted devices contrasting very deeply mirrored fields front and back. Truly exceptional for the grade...$1750

1876 Seated Quarter MS64 PCGS Very attractive originally toned near GEM. Fully struck with a lovely even blend of golden-rose and blue-green patina over both sides.

1892 Barber Quarter MS65 NGC First year of issue and a beautiful type specimen. Fully struck and about 60% original white with lovely rose and blue toning at the left field and around the rims on the obverse and reverse. Full GEM surfaces, so much cleaner than the average Barber quarter of this grade and full luster. Exeptional type coin...$1475

1907 Barber Quarter MS65 PCGS Mint State Barber coinage of all denominations are among the toughest of all type coins to find with attractive toning. This piece is just beautiful. Fully struck with super clean, lustrous surfaces. The obverse shows just a hint of rose patina with a gorgeous blend of light blue-green and golden patina flowing out evenly into the fields and peripheries. Reverse is mostly brilliant with just a hint of rose, similar to the center of the obverse. You will not likely to find a more attractive Barber Quarter for the price in the next five years...$1395

1911 Barber Quarter PF68* CAMEO NGC WOW!! This Barber quarter looks like it just fell from the dies. Absolutely brilliant Black and White CAMEO that just misses a true ULTRA CAMEO, but is more deserving than many I have seen that actually bear the designation. Gorgeous snowy white strong CAMEO with a wonderful smooth appearance as opposed to the uneven die polished look that often comes on these CAMEO Proofs. Super deep mirrors and completely haze free. There are boring and unattractive PF68's and there are true MONSTER GEMS. This coin is among the top of the heap. "Star" designated by NGC for exceptional Quality and Eye Appeal...$12,000

1916-D Barber Quarter MS65 PCGS A lovely original Gem showing a full strike, super clean surfaces for the grade and splashes of blue and violet toning with full luster. Very pretty type...$1250

1858 No Motto Seated Half PF64+ NGC A wonderful deeply toned original near GEM example of this very tough early Seated Proof date. The Red Book shows an original mintage of only 300+.
