CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. Oh my, this glorious coin is the epitome of this grade designation and is certainly among the most perfectly preserved Morgan dollars that it has been my pleasure to own and present for sale -- and, it is more than deserving of the STAR designation bestowed upon it by NGC. The strike is absolutely full with all of the design elements presented in bold detail. As I stated at the beginning, the surfaces are immaculately maintained and rest upon the very threshold of perfection. The luster exhibited by this jewel is at the same time shimmering, coruscating, blazing and glistening -- a truly scintilating sight to behold and the means by which the alluring natural toning is set aglow. And speaking of toning -- the obverse is awash with a striking blend of gleaming crimson, copper, teal, emerald, violet and lemon iridescence, while the reverse is primarily white in coloration with a touch of turquoise and amber at the rim. This is an altogether enchanting specimen of the highest quality from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. Moreover, it's compelling visual appeal is certain to satisfy the most fastidious collector and/or connoisseur of beautifully toned dollars. I can state without reservation that (in my opinion) this is currenty the finest MS68 Morgan dollar offered for sale on the market today.

Here's a stunning coin that certainly deserves the STAR designation bestowed upon it by the graders at NGC. This lovely gem boasts truly scintilating mint luster that is at once sparkling and luminous. Moreover, the surfaces are exceptionally clean in light of the stated grade designation. However, it is the dazzling original toning that elevates this coin to an even higher level of desirability. The obverse is literally aglow with brilliant lemon, tangerine, fuchsia, violet, teal and emerald hues the culminate in deep burgundy luminescence. A thin crescent of peacock, crimson, aquamarine, lilac and amber iridescence adheres to a third of the periphery. A glowing premium quality jewel with wonderful visual prescence.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. A beautiful premium quality coin that is boldly struck with blazing mint luster and surfaces that are much better preserved than the stated grade would indicate. This is a very high end specimen to be sure. The obverse is engulfed in beautiful rainbow hues comprised of forest green, burgundy, teal, violet, fuchsia, tangerine, lemon and pale blue-green iridescence while the reverse exhibits blinding white luster throughout. Very flashy with awesome eye appeal.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. A thoroughly engaging coin with bright voluminous coruscating luster throughout along with a needle sharp strike. The surfaces are well preserved and fresh -- further enhanced by the prescence of beautiful original color. The obverse is a glowing palette of lemon, pale apple green and sky blue iridescence overall with vivid turquoise, lavender, crimson and tangering hues covering the upper right quadrant. The reverse is blast white with a hint of amber at the rim. Uncompromising quality and excellent eye appeal without the huge Battle Creek price tag attached.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. To begin with, this stunning coin is perched at the uppermost end of the grade designation and would not be out of place in a MS65 holder. Bright fresh mint brilliance throughout with surfaces free of significant distractions. The obverse is aglow with scintilating lemon and pale apple green luminescence overall and a bright colorful crescent comprised of brilliant turqouise, teal, violet, magenta and crimson hues while the reverse is blast white. A premium quality specimen with strong technical and visual attributes.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. Here's another example from this collection that was undergraded by NGC and is definitely a point better than the grade indicated on the insert. This coin is fully struck with sharp detail throughout. The vibrant surfaces are extremely clean and exhibit blazing frosty mint luster. The obverse is vividly toned beginning with neon emerald and fuchsia on the left side, which gives way to luminescent canary, apricot, tangerine, lemon and sky blue hues over the balance of the coin. The reverse is riveting blast white with a hint of lemon at the rim. A very flashy specimen with powerful visual appeal.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. This is a premium quality coin that is boldly struck with radiant coruscating luster and surfaces that rest at the uppermost end of the grade designation. The reverse is completely engulfed in glowing luminescent toning comprised of forest green, burgundy, pink, magenta, lemon, lime, emerald, teal, azure and violet hues. Moreover, a distinct textile pattern is apparent in the field between the Eagle's left wing and the wreath. An altogether alluring coin with strong visual appeal and an ethereal, almost hypnotic quality about it. Or as the Fonz would say, cool-o-mundo.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. This is a very cool toned gem deep mirror prooflike Carson City dollar. It is sharply struck throughout with well preserved surfaces. The fields exhibit very deep glassy reflectivity while the devices received an ample quotient of mint frost that provides a nice cameo contrast. It was really difficult to capture the color on this coin and I'm not 100% satisfied with our image so I'll try and paint a picture with words. The obverse displays shimmering aquamarine and turquoise iridescence overall with underlying hints of olive when rotated under a coin lamp while the reverse is brilliant white. Moreover, there is some textile pattern evident in the upper half. This is a coin that looks much better in person.

This is an altogether exceptional example for this date and grade designation -- and, it is quite scarce as such, PCGS having certified just fifty nine MS66 DMPL's with a single coin graded higher. The strike is needle sharp throughout and the gleaming surfaces have been extremely well maintained. The deep glassy reflective fields are deeper than one would normally encounter with this particular date and the devices are well frosted, providing a pronounced cameo contrast. This is as nice a top flight 1885 DMPL as one is likely to locate.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. WOW, here's an end roller that might light your fire -- it sure did mine. This little jewel packs a heck of a powerful punch in terms of its sheer visual appeal. It is sharply struck with dazzling frosty mint brilliance throughout, and as the grade designation would indicate, very well preserved surfaces too. I have to tell you though -- it's the wild neon toning that delivers the knockout punch. The obverse exhibits brilliant flourescent teal, peacock, fuchsia, tangerine and crimson hues laid out in a well defined geometric pattern atop a canvas of lemon, lilac and sky blue iridescence. The reverse is primarily white with a crescent of light ocher clinging to the rim at the bottom. Monster eye appeal and a more than ample quotient of pizzazz combine to form a genuine numismatic work of art.

This is an altogether magnificent example of this particular date with engaging mint bag toning. The strike is unanimously bold and the scintilating luminous surfaces are quite clean. The obverse has been blessed with extraordinarily beautiful toning that's a veritable artists palette of brilliant burgundy, lime, teal, violet, magenta, lemon, lilac, sky blue, cinnamon, apricot and tangerine iridescence. The reverse is primarily blast white with a small crescent of bright ochre and aquamarine toning clinging to the lower rim. This is a breathtaking coin with very strong visual appeal.

This is the finest specimen from the small group of original toned 1878-S dollar I recently purchased. To begin with it is sharply struck throughout with rich creamy mint frost in abundance. The surfaces are exceedingly well preserved and this coin rests at the uppermost end of the assigned grade designation. The obverse is aglow with luminescent pale lemon, aquamarine, turquoise, lilac and plum hues with a touch of crimson at the periphery. The reverse displays salmon, pale lemon, aquamarine, turquoise, electric blue and slate iridescence over the entire surface. A beautiful premium quality example.

Here's another lovely original 1878-S dollar from the small group I recently acquired. Although not monster toners with A plus color -- these are nonetheless very attractive coins. This specimen is sharply struck throughout with frosty coruscating luster and wonderfully preserved surfaces. The obverse is covered in a harmonious blend of russet, pale lime, aquamarine, sky blue, lilac and salmon iridescence while the reverse displays aquamarine, turquoise, pale lime, lilac and plum hues.

The quintessential deep mirror prooflike Carson City silver dollar with all the flash and eye appeal that one could hope for. Boldly struck with very well preserved surfaces. The dazzling fields are deeply mirrored and the devices are snowy white providing a stark black and white cameo contrast. From a technical quality and eye appeal perspective this coin is much nicer than many I've encountered in MS66 DMPL holders. If PCGS were not so brutally (and in opinion unrealistically) tough at the moment I'm confident that this coin would be graded higher. At the very least this gorgeous DMPL dollar is right at the top of the grade designation.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. A strikingly beautiful gem example of this date, which can be quite difficult to locate with colorful toning. This specimen is sharply struck with glowing creamy mint luster and well preserved surfaces. The obverse is aglow with brilliant aquamarine, pale violet and apricot iridescence encompassing the entire surface while the reverse exhibits a light dusting of champagne patina. An altogether alluring coin with excellent visual appeal.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. WOW, this is an absolutely striking coin -- the quintessential deep mirror prooflike Carson City silver dollar. To begin with it is fully struck with all of the design details present and sharply defined. The fragile mirror surfaces have been very well maintained and are on par with those of many other CC dollars I have seen in MS65 DMPL holders. The fields exhibit ultra deep glassy reflectivity and are sharply contrasted by snow white devices that provide a compelling cameo effect. Exceedingly bright mint brilliance combined with compelling black and white contrast equal monster visual appeal. A truly breathtaking deep mirror prooflike dollar with an abundance of pizzazz.

An altogether extraordinary example of this date and surely one of the finest of the fifty-nine specimens graded MS66 DMPL by PCGS thus far. To begin with this coin is boldly struck throughout with well maintained surfaces. Now here's where we separate this particular coin from its like graded brethren. The crystal clear glassy fields are more deeply mirrored than those of any other 1885-P dollar I have encountered. Moreover, the devices are richly coated with snow white mint frost rendering a stark black and white cameo contrast that is not normally seen as far as this date is concerned. Extraordinary flash and eye appeal with few (if any) peers in my experience.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. Now here is a tantalizingly beautiful early "S" mint Morgan dollar. It is very sharply struck throughout with wonderfully preserved luminescent satin surfaces. The obverse is aglow with striking original mint bag toning comprised of tangerine, violet, sky blue, turquoise, aquamarine, lemon, magenta and teal iridescence. The reverse is white overall with a trace of patination at the rim. A superb visually appealing gem in every respect with an extra helping of pizzazz.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. Although I am in agreement with the assigned grade it certainly rests at the very threshold of the next level. In fact, this coin easily surpassess a number of MS66 DMPL 1885-CC dollars that I've seen and /or handled on all levels (including the specimen Irecently consigned to the Heritage Baltimore ANA Signature Sale wherein it realized $8,675). The gleaming surfaces have been wonderfully preserved throughout and are more than worthy to be catgegorized as premium quality. The glassy mirror fields display ultra deep crystal clear reflectivity while the devices are completely awash in vibrant icy white mint frost rendering a powerful black and white cameo effect. This is not your average quality MS65 DMPL 1885-CC dollar and bears little resemblance to most of its like graded brethren. A truly extraordinary specimen that has been blessed with awesome eye appeal and lots of pizzazz.

This is a very impressive (and atypical) example of this date and here's why. The vast majority of deep mirror prooflike 1896-P dollars fall into the "brilliant" DMPL category, which means the fields are adequately mirrored but the devices provide no real contrast to speak of. This coin is the exception to the rule and is the most cameoed example of this date that I have ever seen. The fields are very deeply mirrored and the devices are well frosted providing a pronounced (nearly black and white) cameo effect. Moreover, this awesome coin is boldly struck with wonderfully preserved surfaces that reside at the upper end of the grade level. A premium quality deep mirror cameo prooflike specimen that has few if any peers. By the way, this coin is very scarce in this state of preservation as evidenced by the fact that PCGS has certified just one hundred nineteen coins at this level with a scant eleven graded higher.

This coin is very boldly struck with wonderfully preserved surfaces that rest at the uppermost end of the assigned grade. The fields exhibit (atypical) ultra-deep watery reflectivity and the devices are well frosted accounting for a distinct cameo effect. The obverse is awash in glowing amber iridescence with a touch of aquamarine at the rim. A premium quality example with excellent visual appeal.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. PCGS has certified a mere sixteen examples of this date as MS64 PL with none having been graded higher. As a side note there are but eighteen MS64 DMPL's certified with none finer. This is an undeniably rare coin in this condition and very desirable as such. It is well struck throughout and the fragile reflective surfaces reveal only minor distractions. The fields are actually quite reflective and the devices are lightly frosted rendering a distinct cameo contrast. There is a faint blush of light champagne patination present.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality and it is PQ+ all the way. This coin is fully struck with needle sharp definition throughout and wonderful frosty coruscating luster. The surfaces are very clean (particularly in light of the stated grade) and exhibit just a few tiny inconsequential abrasions, none of a serious or highly distracting nature. Another example of PCGS's current ultra strict grading, which is a bit too stringent at the moment in my opinion -- a sentiment shared today by many professionals who themselves possess strong grading skills.

Although designated as a PL this coin displays deep crystal clear reflectivity throughout that is on par with many examples that are certified as DMPL's. The strike is 100% full with all of the design elements boldly impressed. The surfaces are very clean overall the devices are lightly frosted providing a distinct cameo contrast.
