237The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$825.00
1881 NGC PF-67 CAMEO.
Bradford Pear Collection. Exquisite, swirling, spiraling bands of luminescence roam the fields and generate the eye-appeal for this peach-gold little jewel. Surfaces display the amazing level of...
530The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$330.00
1881 NGC PF-64 CAMEO.
Gus Johnson Proof Collection. Technical aspirations might be limited by some grazes in the obverse lower left field, but the coin overall shimmers with attractive white brilliance. Cameo format...
531The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$575.00
1881 NGC PF-66 CAMEO.
French Connection Estate. Silky luster caresses the fields and replaces the reflectivity demanded of a cameo proof. The pristine appearance stems from lovely nickel-white surfaces that show no spots...
333The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$925.00
1881 NGC PF-67 CAMEO.
Technically, just enough contrast exists on both sides to warrant a cameo designation, though arm's length viewing suggests very nice contrast, as well as highly attractive luster. A faint dash of...
318The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$500.00
1881 NGC PF-65 CAMEO.
Eye-appeal faces up as virtually pristine at arm's length. Truth be told, the "cameo" designation is probably just barely warranted, with light contrast discernible on each side. Aggravating to some...
319The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$925.00
1881 and 1888, both NGC PF-65.
Both coins are especially well matched to each other, as they display similar, bold obverse cameo contrast (not called out on the holders) and lovely crystal-blue patina in the fields. A number of...
971The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$625.00
1881 NGC PF-66.
Strong "gem" quality undoubtedly stems from proper numismatic storage, with the beginning of bull's-eye rainbow tone just starting to form at the periphery of both sides. Proof sharpness is...
465The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$1,100.00
Forty-two 1881 three-cent nickel varieties.
Proof format is represented by but a single piece (1881 P03a), and it grades PF-64, making it by far the most valuable single coin in the group. All the rest are circulation strikes, with varieties...
466The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$425.00
1881 (P03a, plate coin) PCGS PF-65 (green label).
1881 P03a RPD-006, Plate coin. An exquisite proof, both sides are nearly pristine, with occasional flickering hairlines barely visible under magnification. Some remarkable, tiny strikethroughs are...
467The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$625.00
1881 PCGS PF-66 CAM, CAC.
Gleaming aluminum-white fields shimmer with reflectivity and provide an impeccable backdrop for the primary devices. Those in turn are nicely frosted, providing impetus for the "cameo" designation. ...
285The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$750.00
1881 NGC PF-66.
Proof status is not obvious since low contrast gives much the appearance of a regular business-strike format. Subtle pastel-orange and peach iridescence swoops below Liberty's portrait and drives...
237The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,002.00
1881 PCGS PF-65, 1883 NGC PF-64, and 1884 NGC PF-64.
Despite a point variance in grade, these are a well matched trio of white, proof three-cent nickels. Included are 1881 PCGS PF-65, 1883 NGC PF-64, and 1884 NGC PF-64. The first two display...
175The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$575.00
1881 PCGS PF-66.
Strong cameo contrast on the obverse is mated with a reverse that is more fully brilliant, and both sides gleam with nearly unimpeded brightness. Trivial planchet flaws occasionally appear on either...
176The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$600.00
1881 NGC PF-66.
Though this NGC no-line holder suffers from the presence of sticky adhesive, the three-cent nickel housed within maintains its original appeal, nicely shielded from the effects of price-tag glue and...
177The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$575.00
1881 NGC PF-66.
1881 is considered to be one of the dates in the proof three-cent nickel series that can be readily obtained in high grade, and this pristine-chrome example fits that mold. Scant hints of tobacco...
178The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$815.00
1881 PCGS PF-67.
Pristine, silvery-white and struck off the reverse proof die that actually featured all leaf details (at least one other proof die was overpolished and always left off some leaf elements). This coin...
526The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$190.00
1881 MS-64PL.
A highly prooflike 1881 three-cent nickel that grades MS-64 and features very light silvery-beige patina. The loops of the second "8" are filled.
527The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$775.00
1881 PCGS PF-66.
Brazenly repunched digits "881" in the date demonstrate very clearly that proof dies for three-cent nickels were also used to strike coins intended for circulation, or vice-versa, as many 1881...
564The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$290.00
1881 NGC PF-64.
The sleek obverse is mated to a mundane reverse, producing the NGC PF-64 grade. An interesting and slightly erratic streak of root-beer tone slices through the final digit in the denomination.
565The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$925.00
1881 NGC MS-66.
Fantastic arctic-blue patina overlays the obverse, yielding to some steely-grey accent on Liberty's portrait. The reverse is more normally infused with silver-nickel tint. This is a really marvelous...
477The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$1,000.00
1881 Proof three-cent nickel, NGC PR-67 CAMEO
As is the case for the majority of proof 1881 three cent nickels, each bead on the coronet has been repunched, and each digit "8" in the date has filled loops. Dramatic "Longacre doubling" is also...
327The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$600.00
1881 PCGS PF-66.
A hint of lavender iridescence adorns this glistening silver specimen. A few speckles are seen beneath Liberty and around the date, but the sharply struck frosty devices that complement the...
381The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$575.00
1881 PCGS PF-65.
This lot offers a sparkling Gem Proof specimen displaying exceptional mirrored fields. Its exquisite motifs are a brilliant white. A toning spec here and there are the only blemishes to mar its...
383The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$700.00
1881 PCGS PF-66.
Just a bit of frost lacking from Liberty's hair bars this coin from a "cameo" designation. Despite the modest grade assigned by PCGS, the fields are clean and free of distractions.
1090The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$300.00
1881 NGC PF-64.
An awesome specimen with incredible splashes of crimson hues augmenting its glowing, reflective surfaces. The few randomly seen ticks and specks are virtually insignificant to this impressively...
