1793 Wreath Cent, Vine and Bars |
PCGS XF40 | Created as the second type large cent for the foundling United States, the Wreath Cent was intended to replace the previously minted Chain cent which was seen as distasteful by the public. The obverse was modified slightly from the Chain cent's "frightful" lady Liberty to the more free-flowing example dipicted on the Wreath Cent. Public outcry was especially critical of the Chain Cent's reverse which pictured interlocking chain links that was suppose to represent unity but the public viewed as a slavery relation. |

1845 Half Dime-Richmond Collection |
NGC PF65 | Numismatic experts estimate that only 25 of these proof examples were minted for use in Proof Sets of the year. John Jay Pitmman never acquired an 1845 Proof Half Dime for his collection despite years of searching. Pop is 2 with 1 graded higher. From the Richmond Collection and priced slightly above the Trends of $30,000. Keep in mind that a Bowers and Merena auction brought $27,500 for a comparable coin in March of 1998. A richly toned coin with an overlay of turquoise. |

1932-D $.25 Washington Quarter |
PCGS MS65 | The Washington Quarter was created to commemorate in 1932 the bicentennial of the birth of George Washington. A national contest was initiated with 98 entrants submitting 100 designs. Designs ranged in quality from amateurish to good, the exception being an outstanding work submitted by Laura Gardin Fischer designer of the Oregon Trail Memorial. Unanimously, the Commission chose Ms. Fraser's design but Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon strongly opposed Ms. Fraser's work. Ultimately, Secretary Mellon, known for his stubbornness and chauvinism, chose a boring and bland design by John Flanagan. The true key date in the series, the 1932-D, is scarce at this level with only one graded higher! Priced well below the Trends indicator of $28,000. this coin is considered a "white" specimen and extremely eye appealing. |

1797 Half |
ANACS VF30 Details -Tooled-Cleaned | This coin has a pleasing look, but has been professionally tooled in the hairline to bring out more detail. An extremely rare coin in any case, and well worth the money. A two-year design type, with a combined 1796 and 1797 mintage figure of 3,918, it is one of the most coveted of all U.S. coins by numismatists and collectors. It is no wonder as there are less than 300 specimens estimated to have survived leaving many type collections with an empty space! |

1795 $1 3 Leaves Cardinal Collection |
PCGS MS62 | A two-year type (1794-1795), the Flowing Hair dollar, along with the half-dollar of the same design, were the first silver coins to be minted in the United States. Although congressional authority was passed in 1792, mint production of silver and gold coins was delayed until October 15,1794 because of the $10,000 bond required by both the Chief Coiner and Chief Assayer. Because ten thousand was a virtually unobtainable sum in those days, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson interceded on behalf of Mint Director Rittenhouse to lower the bond amounts. This roadblock took over a year to tear down resulting in the production of only copper coins in 1793. Once the legal snarls were straightened, the mint produced over 1700 silver dollars dated 1794 on a single day (October 15) from a single pair of dies. The 1794 dollars proved to have a weak strike and production was suspended until May 1795 when a new, better press was installed. 160,000 Flowing Hair dollars dated 1795 were minted through October. A design change from the Flowing Hair to the Capped Bust took place in late October 1795 bringing the end to this short-lived, but historically significant, series. Examples of the 1795 Flowing Hair dollar are somewhat plentiful in the circulated grades but increasingly difficult to locate in the EF to AU condition. Mint State specimens such as this coin, are quite scarce indeed! Population is 4/12 and the Coin Universe list is $95,000. |
