Lot 972
1908. NGC graded
MS-63. A choice example of this, the first year of the new Indian design.

Estimated
Value $700-800.

coins.
Estimated Value $500-600.
Lot 974
1908-D. PCGS graded
MS-64. While PCGS has graded 147 in this condition, they have only graded 6
coins higher, making this grade really the best available. Frosty luster
throughout and well struck for the Mint. Don't wait for a better one, they
scarcely exist.
Estimated Value $1,800-2,200.
Lot 975
1908-D. NGC graded
MS-63. Frosty luster in the fields and well struck. This is a slightly
better date, with a mintage of 148,000.

Lot 976

MS-63. A few more handling marks but still lustrous and pleasing.

lightly toned. Quite attractive and decidedly rare in such high grade.
Estimated Value $1,800-2,200.
Lot 978
1909. NGC graded
MS-64. A tough date to find this nice, glowing luster and less than the
usual handling marks. Well struck and worth a look.
Estimated Value
$1,800-2,200.
Lot 979
1909. NGC graded
MS-64. Fresh mint luster throughout and well struck by the dies. For some
reason, this date is very difficult to locate in higher grades, for example,
only 18 have been graded higher by NGC while they have graded 194 as MS-64.
Needless to say, finding a higher grade example will be much more expensive
than the coin offered here.
Estimated Value $1,800-2,200.
Lot 980

MS-63. A choice coin indeed which boasts coppery toning and clean surfaces.

bird.
Estimated Value $700-750.
Lot 981

and worthy of a gem set.

better and the strike is more complete. Minor handling marks on both sides.
Estimated Value $1,750-2,000.
Lot 983
1909-D. PCGS graded
MS-64. Splashes of copper toning on both sides over lustrous fields and
devices. Well struck and very tough to find even a notch better, virtually

coin that will enhance your collection without breaking the bank entirely.
Estimated Value $1,750-2,000.

tick marks noted in the reverse fields.
Estimated Value $1,750-2,000.
Lot 986
1909-D. PCGS graded

hair-cord knot and frills.
Estimated Value $1,750-2,000.
Lot 987
1909-D. PCGS graded

examples to find just the "right" one to fit in your date set. What an
opportunity to match color and surface quality.
