1896-O
.
PCGS graded MS-62
. Frosty and white. Light bag-
marks. Scarce in this grade. A lustrous Select Uncirculated that
has pale silvery white color and a original luster. Struck with not
quite the required mathematical precision by the dies, some
central areas are incomplete by an unsuccessful strike left by
the rebound of the dies. This is one characteristic of many O-
Mint dates from the 1890s, however, and is taken into factored
in by the grading service. (

1899-O
.
PCGS graded MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike
.
The finest DMPL graded at PCGS. Fully white and choice. A
brilliant and exceptionally lustrous Gem that has exquisite
mirror fields and devices frosted like those of a Proof, giving
strong contrast. Struck with systematic exactness through-
out, a benefit of having been struck at New Orleans this
year. The 1899-O, as well as 1898-O and 1900-O almost
always display bold strikes. Collectors prefer these dates for
their beauty as ideally situated for a U.S. Type Set.
Pop 1;
none finer at PCGS

Estimated Value ........................................ $5,000 - 5,500
1221
1899-O
.
PCGS graded MS-67
. A superb white gem. This is a
pleasing, highly lustrous coin with a not a sing grade-limiting
luster graze in its pristine fields. Given the proper amount of
strike pressure for an 1899-O, the coin was fully brought up by
the dies.
Pop 114; 5 finer, 4 in 67+, 1 in 68
. (

Estimated Value ..............................................$1,700 - 1,800

.
PCGS graded MS-66
. A fully white gem. (

Estimated Value ................................................... $300 - 325
1223
1900-O, O over CC
.
ICG graded MS-65
. A hint of light gold
tone. Once the Carson City mint closed its doors forever in
1893, it must have had several spare reverse dies on hand
which were returned to the home mint at Philadelphia. There,
the dies were overpunched with an "O" mintmark and sent on
to New Orleans. Much of the underfigure "CC" remains. Both
sides of this frosty Gem piece have brilliant silver luster inside
the golden tint that hugs the periphery and produces a beautiful
dappled effect on the reverse; outstanding original sheen to the
silvery elements away from the rims. The surfaces are excep-
tional with fully lustrous devices, unusually strong on the design
details for an issue that has sometimes uneven strike. The strike
is indeed sharp throughout, and more than pleasing.
Estimated Value ..............................................$1,000 - 1,050
1224
1900-S
.
PCGS graded AU-58
. Nicely toned. Very close to
Mint State. (
PCGS # 7270
)
Estimated Value ....................................................... $80 - 90
