1886-S PCGS MS-64+ CAC.

|
Delectable lime-green iridescence layers just within the borders of the edge and instantly elevates aesthetic appeal for the obverse, while the reverse maintains steadfast, even medium-gold patina. A... |

1886-S PCGS MS-63.

1886-S NGC MS-61, and a 1902-S NGC MS-61.
|
|
Powdery golden patina resides within protected areas of the 1886-S, contrasting with slightly glossy details. 1902-S is two full shades brighter, perhaps brightened up by conservation, and affected... |

1886-S AU and 1905 AU/cleaned.
|
|
Though both of these half-eagles display heaps of luster, they do not quite achieve a fully uncirculated grade. 1886-S grades AU, and 1905 is AU/cleaned. Two coin lot. |

| 798 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $400.00 |
|
1886-S NGC MS-62.
|
|
Honest assessment is that there are too many abrasions on Liberty's portrait to permit an MS-62 grade. Still, luster is pleasing and flashy, and the strike quality excellent. |

|
1886-S and 1903 PCGS MS-62.

|
Though PCGS assigned an MS-62 grade to these 1886-S and 1903 quarter-eagles, their appearance is distinguished by color, with the former coin bearing a subtle ruby-red cast, and the latter coin being... |

1886-S NGC MS-63.
|
|
Obverse detail seems to be a little sharper than that of the reverse, and the fact that die failure on the reverse is just beginning to form a retained rim cud over STATES substantiates extended use... |

|
1886-S (NGC MS-62) and 1902-S (NGC MS-63) Coronet half-eagles.
|
|
Quite frankly, the grades of these coins would almost appear to be switched, as the 1902-S seems undergraded by a full point, while the 1886-S is a bit below average for the grade. The mint mark on... |

1886-S and 1901-S Coronet half-eagles, PCGS MS-62
|
|
The 1886-S is typically abraded for the grade and bears a sharp pinscratch in the right obverse field. It's companion, a 1901-S, has a noticeably finer appearance and seems to grade nearly a full... |

1886-S and 1901 PCGS MS-61 OGH.
|
|
Hazy patination occupies the entire obverse of the 1886-S. The mintmark is noticeably filled. The 1901 is far more brilliant, but is marred by the numerous wispy abrasions that typically feature... |

1886-S MS-62+.

This specimen's radiant golden glow permeates its velvety surfaces. A superb visual aspect is discerned and is not minimized by a meager number of scattered ticks. |

1886-S AU-58.

1886-S PCGS MS-61.
|
|
I bet a long time ago this was a monster coin. The fields are highly reflective and almost prooflike, the devices are amazingly sharp, and its color is bold and rich. There is broken luster on the... |
