I wanted a proof-like Morgan, and this combination of condition, mirrors, and toning is all I could ask for. Edit: NGC MS65 PL
For my collection, this is a barn burner! An 1888 $5 gold Liberty. This is a conditional rarity of a scarce coin. PCGS has graded two others at MS63 plus and 4 higher and not above MS65. Thanks to Mike at ToughCoins for tracking this one down!
A pretty nice BU 1867 Twenty Lib . . . I think this could grade a point higher on a good day. May be worth cracking out and submitting again. And a very scarce error $10 Indian. I've seen very few errors on $10 Indians, and was eager to pay the premium for this coin. A noticeable strike through on the reverse, and a much more prominent one on the front.
Had a few "So-Called Dollars" arrive lately . . . . . . Photos of a few of my favorites. 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition HK-301 (copper) Which will be joining the HK-299 and HK-300 that I have been fortunate enough to acquire . . . . . . . (copper, silver, and gold plated brass)
A little "Pocahontas" anybody . . . . . ? 1907 Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition HK-346 (bronze) & HK-347 (gilt) . . . . although most of the gilt is gone . . . . . The Pocahontas twins . . . . . .
1903-S 10c VG Detail - Damage, Reverse 3 transition variety. While the condition is not impressive, the "thick ribbon" reverse is not easy to find for 1903-S. The extra fold in the ribbon was added in April 1901 and used throughout the rest of the series to 1916. But for some reason San Francisco reverted to the previous 1900 Reverse 2 "thin ribbon" design in 1903 for the majority of coins. To me this makes it one of the more interesting US design varieties - the "normal" design for the year is scarce, two years after it was implemented.
