1162The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,950.00
1903-S NGC MS-65.
Apart from a bagmark on the neck, little contact can be seen elsewhere. Lovely sheening luster amplifies the eye-appeal and benefits from a hint of two-tone patina. Fairly sharp overall, the curl...
906The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,250.00
1903-S PCGS MS-64+ CAC.
Excellent quality for the grade range, neither side shows evidence of marks, helping to suggest the PCGS "plus" designation. Add to that very finely textured satin luster, and one has a coin that CAC...
507The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,050.00
1903-S PCGS MS-64.
Exceedingly pale overall, yet very strong luster activates an energetic appearance. Examination with a loupe finds more ticks and marks than expected on Liberty's cheek.

1903-S MS-62.
Lovely gleaming cartwheel luster illuminates surfaces that are free from major contact marks, and affected only by several wispy abrasions. 1903-S is a common date for the series even in high grade,...
809The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$400.00
1903-S NGC MS-62.
Lightly cleaned, with a rash of patchy hairlines in the lower left obverse field providing the best evidence of past encounters with the jeweler's cloth. Still, booming luster remains unimpeded, and...
810The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,050.00
1903-S PCGS MS-64.
Finicky collectors may find this to be a little more pale than what would be ideal, but the sparkling luster practically jumps off the coin, and strike quality is decent. Some erratic pin scratches...

1903-S PCGS MS-64.
Precisely struck, this 1903-S half-eagle features a fair amount of copper-tan patina to complement potent mint luster. Housed in a PCGS green label holder.
918The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,300.00
1903-S PCGS MS-63.
Proof that undergraded coins are still found in old holders is in evidence right here, as this 1903-S half-eagle is undergraded as MS-63 in this PCGS doily holder. Perhaps more important than the...

1903-S PCGS MS-64.
