1837 Feuchtwanger Cent MS 65+ NGC. A super example of this private issue token. These were coined to help with the shortage of cents. German engineer created his metallic composite metal. Extremely well struck with an abundance of luster. The word CENT on the reverse has the typical evidence of crumbling of the dies. These now exist in sparse numbers. A pre Civil War relic.

1860-C $5 Liberty No Motto MS 64 - An incredible pre-Civil War piece. This coin is most likely the finest known. This is 1 of only 2 coins to have been graded MS 64 by NGC. PCGS and NGC have graded 1 each in MS 63.  This is Astonishing Quality. CAC Approved
We think the coin is still under-graded
. The original surfaces of the obverse looks Gem to us. The piece has tremendous original mint frost on the devices on both sides of the coin. The face on the obverse is fully frosted with creamy white mint frost. The obverse has the typical massive striations in the field. The branch mint at Charlotte, N.C. was known to have used rusted dies. This produced a blurred look to the gold coins as if the reverse of the coins were melted. In addition to this coin being only 1 of a handful of uncirculated pieces, this is the overdated variety # 6645 which Breen describes as "extremely rare" above XF/AU. He goes on to say that the date is extremely rare. Akers says that the grade most encountered is VF-XF. Uncirculated specimens are rare. Modern writers say they have only seen 10-12 specimens of this overdate in total, in their entire 30+ years of research. With a total production mintage of a mere 14,813 this no motto coin is a prize for the advanced collector, and would be the highlight of virtually any collection. Breen #6645. We think the coin grades closer to MS 65(if not MS65) than to MS 64. It has a few miniscule light contact marks in the obverse field. This specimen is a trophy!  Probably the finest known of the date... A Southern Masterpiece!
$59,500

CAC Approved. $17,750

1910-D $10 Indian MS 63 PCGS A superior choice coin. Miraculous luster throughout the Headdress on the obverse. This near GEM coin has more luster than many $10 Gem Indians.       CAC Approved                                     $1,425
