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.

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.

This is a very nice high-end coin in a PCGS old green holder (OGH). It is boldly struck with very clean surfaces throughout and certainly deserves to be categorized as a premium quality example (and would definitely rank among the top 10% of its like-graded brethren). The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices are well frosted rendering a pronounced cameo effect. There are scattered areas of very faint champagne patination but this coin is primarily white and very appealing.

A visually compelling coin and the quintessential Carson City DMPL dollar. It is sharply struck with a few grade limiting abrasions present on Liberty's chin with the balance of the coin being relatively mark-free. The dazzling brilliant fields are crystal clear and watery with ultra-deep reflectivity and snow white devices with a prominent (and highly desirable) halo effect around the eagle. An exceedingly flashy deep mirror black and white cameo prooflike -- what more is there to say?

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.

The reverse is awash in cinnamon-beige iridescence overall with deeper slate and blue-gray at the periphery.

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. 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.

Ex Battle Creek Collection. This lovely coin is fully struck with bright frosty mint luster and fewer flaws that one might expect given its grade designation. In other words, this is a really nice mid-range MS63 specimen. The obverse exhibits deep glowing luminescent teal and burgundy toning with subtle nuances of violet, lime-green and sky-blue thrown in for good measure. The reverse is brilliant white with a bit of ochre clinging to the periphery.

I've resubmitted this coin once believing that it was a lock upgrade but PCGS didn't agree with me. I still think it's undergraded and if it doesn't sell quickly I'll try it again. Anyway, this coin is boldly struck with squeaky clean surfaces throughout. The fields are deeply reflective and the devices are lightly frosted providing a distinct contrast. There is a touch of amber coloration at the rim which serves to frame and enhance the glistening surfaces. PCGS has certified one hundred sixty five at this level with just thirty graded higher.

CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. Although graded MS64 DMPL this is one of the most eye appealing example of this scarce date that I can recall. It is boldly struck with very nice surfaces that exhibit just a smattering of small inconsequential abrasions. The crystal clear glassy fields exhibit ultra-deep reflectivity while the devices are abundantly coated with icy white mint frost providing an atypically (in regard to this date) strong cameo contrast. Very flashy with lots of pizzazz. I can assure you that you could search high and low and not find its equal in terms of sheer eye appeal for the date. Moreover, this is a genuinely scarce coin as evidenced by the fact that PCGS has certified just eighty-nine at this level with thirty-three graded higher.

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.

Although not a viable candidate for resubmission in my opinion -- this coin is nonetheless a very high-end example. It is fully struck with all of the design details sharply impressed throughout. The glassy surfaces are exceeding clean and at first glance appear to be worthy of a higher grade. The gleaming mirror fields exhibit deep reflectivity but the devices offer no real discernable contrast rendering this specimen a classic example of a deep mirror "brilliant" prooflike. A premium quality example with positive eye appeal.

Here's another date that is genuinely rare in MS65 DMPL condition. The latest online PCGS Population Report states that only sixty three 1898-P dollars have achieved this grade designation with just twelve coins finer. This particular specimen is sharply struck with all of the details boldly articulated. The fields are quite deeply mirrored and the devices are creamy, rendering a subtle contrast. The surfaces have been meticulously preserved and are on par with a MS66 DMPL 1898-P dollar I sold a while back. A very thin film of pale champagne patina is evident throughout although it is more pronounced on the reverse. I seriously doubt that you will encounter a nicer example of this date in a MS65 DMPL holder.

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. The hallmark of this coin is its extraordinary flash and striking visual appeal. The strike is needle sharp and the crystal clear black mirror fields are unfathomably deep -- in fact, as deep as they can conceivably come. The devices are coated with bright snow white mint frost providing a stark black and white cameo contrast. There are scattered light abrasions in the obverse field which accounts for the grade designation -- but the sheer visual appeal will definitely knock your socks off and counter any deficiencies present. An altogether breathtaking coin.

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. 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.

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.

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.

At the very least this coin rests at the threshold of the next grade designation, but in my opinion is a legitimate candidate for crack out. It is fully struck with surfaces that rival those of the MS64 DMPL that follows. The fields are watery and clear with very deep mirrors and heavily frosted snow white devices that provide a striking cameo contrast. Tremendous flash and awesome visual appeal combined with the fact that this is truly a premium quality specimen equal exceptional value for the buyer of this coin. Moreover, ultra-deep mirror black and white cameo 1878-CC dollars are becoming extremely difficult to locate today.

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. 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.
