Rare Early American Type

1783 Chalmers 3 Pence PCGS/CAC AU50 ex: Newman

Annapolis silversmith John Chalmers issued silver threepence, sixpence, and shillings dated 1793 to reduce the amount of clipped and worn-out Spanish-American silver in circulation. This original AU displays lovely pewter-gray fields with fantastic blue and russet undertones. Though slightly off center, the legends are complete, and the overall eye appeal is captivating! An exciting opportunity for early American type collectors as the threepence is rarer than the Long and Short Worm shillings.

Choice Red Brown!

1851 1/2c PCGS/CAC MS64 RB ex: D.L. Hansen

Nice type coin. Milk chocolate color throughout with no carbon spots or distractions. Choice luster!

Stunning Gem

1847 1/2c NGC/CAC Proof 65 BN (Restrike)

First year Indian cent struck on bronze planchet. Absolutely hammered strike. Great original milk chocolate color.

Key Date

Popular key date. Some original mint red clings tightly to the letters and devices. Very choice.

Better Date

Plenty of original mint red remains on this example. Excellent luster with no major distractions.

Impressive luster and full red color. No distracting marks and the coin is fully struck.

Better Date

1957 1c PCGS MS66 RD

Old Green Label Holder

1914 1c PCGS/CAC Proof 66 RD (OGH)

Very scarce Matt proof issue. From a mintage of just 1,365 coins, few gems survive, and even fewer with CAC approval. An incredible beauty with dynamic color and spectacular eye appeal. An easy decision for CAC.

1957 1c NGC Proof 67 RD

1971-D 1c NGC MS66 RD

Popular & Scarce Variety

1972 1c PCGS MS65 RB (Doubled Die Obverse)

Very strong doubling is evident on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST. The secondary image is spread clockwise to the primary image. Genuine examples exhibit a small die gouge on the reverse near the rim above the D of UNITED.

2000 1c PCGS MS66 RD ("Cheerios" Cent)

1959 1c NGC Proof 67 RD

Scarce Type 2

1858 3cS NGC MS64

Type 2 3-cent silver. Primarily white with lightly toned gold peripheries. Outstanding luster for the grade.

Key, First Year Proof

1865 3cN PCGS/CAC Proof 66 CAM

The key date in the proof 3-cent nickel series along with the proof-only 1877. One of just 500 coins struck in proof this year. Excellent contrast between the fields and devices. Some weakness in the frost on the roman numerals holds it back from the DCAM designation. CAC approved for quality and eye appeal.

Essentially Flawless

1866 3cN NGC Proof 67 CAM *Star*

One of just 725 coins struck in proof this year, but very few exist in such incredible condition. Gold toning throughout that enhances and does not hinder the reflectivity. NGC has granted their Star designation for exceptional eye appeal. There are none finer in Cameo, though there are around two dozen known DCAM's.
