This pattern is William Barber's rendition of the Seated Liberty design. Like many pattern coins, these were sold in sets that included a Half Dime, a Dime, a Quarter, a Half Dollar, and a Dollar. A few sets included a Three-Cent Silver issue. All coins issued within the set had a common obverse design. Sets were available in silver, copper, or aluminum. Each set came with uniform plain or reeded edges.

This Liberty Seated Half Dime is an important Civil War date and the sole finest recognized example by CAC. The Philadelphia Mint issued the only half dimes in 1861 since the New Orleans Mint closed (and later reopened) after Louisiana seceded from the Union in January, 1861. Aside from the original patina the coin has acquired, it appears as if the piece was struck yesterday. No piece of detail is left to the imagination.

This So-Called Dollar was struck at the U.S. Mint's exhibit during the U.S. Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The World's Fair celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and took place from May 31 through November 30th, 1926. These coins were struck in copper, brass, gold-plated copper, nickel, and gold-plated nickel. These So-Called Dollars were struck for collectors on demand, who likely chose their desired metal composition for a nominal fee. Copper pieces were struck by different, higher-relief dies. In addition to the main exposition, the U.S. Mint also attended the "post-exhibition" period, which ran in December. The attendance did not meet projections.

Note: At this time, CAC Grading will grade So-Called Dollars as long as they were struck by the U.S. Mint.

The 1936-M Roosevelt-Quezon Peso was produced in 1936 and commemorates the founding of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. The obverse features the first Philippine Commonwealth president, Manuel L. Quezon, and U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt. The portrait of Roosevelt is strikingly similar to that on circulating Roosevelt U.S. dimes, which were not issued for another 10 years. Both portraits of Roosevelt were likely inspired by the same original artwork.

This 1859 pattern half dollar was designed by Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet. To the seasoned numismatist, this name may sound familiar, as it is the same engraver who created the rare 1861 and 1861-S Paquet Liberty $20 Gold Eagles. The coin pictured here was struck in Silver (J-247), but may also be found in copper (J-248). The reverse used on this pattern made its regular-issue debut on Liberty Seated Coinage the following year and carried over to Barber Dimes, where it remained in use throughout the series.

This 1921 Peace Dollar showcases the epitome of original toning. Due to the high-relief design, the pressure required to strike the coins and translate all the details to the coin was extremely high. These stresses reduced the lifespan of the dies. This piece is unquestionably a gem.

After a previous Memorial Cent was struck, fragments flaked off and remained in the striking chamber. When this coin (pictured) was struck, these residual fragments obstructed the dies, resulting in this "struck fragment brockage."

04/09/2026

The 1882 Proof Liberty Double Eagle ($20) has a low mintage of 59 pieces, with only 14-18 examples known. The 1882 mint-state counterparts also have an especially low mintage, with 571 pieces struck for circulation. Due to the low mintage, mint-state examples were widely used in commerce and are rarely seen in uncirculated condition. In fact, if a collector is seeking a high-grade example of a Liberty Double Eagle, his or her best option may be to purchase a proof coin. With 14-18 known survivors, the proof actually offers more opportunities to find an uncirculated example than its mint-state counterpart. They are still extremely rare, with only 3 recognized by CAC.

This magnificent piece is graded CAC PR65DCAM
