1922 No D Weak Reverse NGC 63 RB The reverse is slightly rotated counter clockwise. Die pair #3: Second 2 in date is weaker than first 2. TRUST is weak but sharper than IN GOD WE.

1880 Proof NGC 67 CAM Superb Gem mint brilliance. Bold cameo effect frosted devices. Glittering deeply reflective fields. There were 1, 355 Proof coins minted for this date. NGC has certified ten coins at this level with a mere three finer. This encapsulation features a green CAC hologram label, indicating the coin has met CAC's grading standards.
1895O PCGS 58 Nice mint luster. Lightly toned surfaces. There were 450, 000 coins minted for this issue. This encapsulation features a green CAC hologram label, indicating the coin has met CAC's grading standards.
1874CC PCGS 64 Chopmarked Nearly Gem mint luster. Well struck. Pleasing surfaces with a chop mark well concealed in the breast of Seated Liberty. This coin is one of two certified at this level with none finer by PCGS. Such counter stamps were used by bankers and merchants in the Far East to signal the acceptance of a certain coin as silver or suitable for trade. The American ideal of free trade silver in the Orient was a dismal failure with the Trade Dollar failing to meet the trading quota of the Mexican eight real. The Trade Dollar became a stepping stone of foreign diplomacy during its short time of issue from 1873 to 1885. Many of these coins and those of Mexico found their way to melting pots in China.
1850 Proof J-124G NGC 65 Pattern Listed in Judd as a Low Rarity 7 pattern and a known population of one piece, NGC has certified a total of three patterns of which two are at this level with none finer.
1918/7S NGC 40 A highly desirable, renowned, over date variety and a key issue to the Standing Liberty Quarter Series. Clear evidence of the underlying digit is noticeable across the top, down the right-side and into the lower loop of the numeral 8. Cline (Standing Liberty Quarters, Third Edition, 1997) cites several important diagnostics of this variety, including the presence of a die crack that transects the letter T of LIBERTY and evidence of die clashing, with remnants of the letter E, from E PLURIBUS UNUM, noticeable to the left of Liberty's knee. Only the T die crack characteristic is present on this particular coin, though not all examples exhibit the die crack. The over date is scarce in all grades, and circulated examples are highly prized by collectors.
1900O PCGS 64 Nearly Gem mint luster. Well struck. Pleasing toned surfaces.
