that would be a great accomplishment if you do for me it's the 1794 flowing hair dollar that I hoping to someday get

 

A new shop opened in town and a gold collection walked in. I had first dibs. Payed ms60 money, just came back from PCGS in a 64 holder.

 

Ive had this coin for a few months now and just decided to share it. Whats makes this coin rare is the reverse.

Not the prettiest commem, but it's another notch on the belt. And this is one of my faves.

 

Nice rainbow Morgan. Rim nick spoils what would have been a solid 64. NGC 63:

 

My first gold coin. Nothing overly special, but I wanted one
in my collection and the price was right.

 

More Silver for my stack! Will be buying more tomorrow from my nearest coins shop

 

1806 Draped Bust Half, Pointed 6, No Stem, O-109, VF30 PCGS-CAC

Nice midgrade Draped Bust half. The Overton-109 was the only Pointed 6, No Stem die pairing, so that makes this a Guide Book (Red Book) variety as well.

Enjoy!

Nice 1921-D George

 

Actually, it's kinda special. It is by far the highest-mintage gold coin issue from 1886 America. Here are the totals for all U.S. gold coin issues of 1886.

Indian Princess Gold Dollar. 5,000 plus 1,016 proofs.

Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. 4,000 plus 88 proofs.

Indian Princess Three Dollar. 1,000 plus 142 proofs.

Liberty Head Half Eagle. 1886 388,360 plus 72 proofs; 1886-S 3.27 million.

Liberty Head Eagle.1886 236,100 plus plus 60 proofs; 1886-S 826,000.

Liberty Head Double Eagle. 1886 1,000 plus 106 proofs.

Notice that San Francisco made no double eagles in 1886, the only such gap from 1854-S to 1911-S. Carson City was also not striking any coins, of any denomination, from 1885 to 1889, when they made only double eagles and silver dollars (both years). All those factors combined might explain why the 1886-S half eagle mintage was more than 3.2 million coins, versus 1.2 million for 1885-S and 1.9 million for 1887-S.

Nothing special within its own series? Perhaps. Something special within the wider context of American numismatics (and a nice original-looking coin, to boot)? Absolutely!
