U.S. Silver Dollars (1935-1999)

Lot 1896
1935-S. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium quality. Satiny luster abounds and both sides have a delicate golden tone. Well struck, but with shallow relief on the reverse lettering, as always seen. In an old style PCGS holder, and one that will no doubt be resubmitted for a gem grade.
Estimated Value $300-350.

Lot 1897
1935-S. MS-60. Pleasing BU, white, only small marks, a few light album slide-lines on the face.
Estimated Value $90-100.

Anthony Dollars

Lot 1898
1979-S Type I. PCGS graded Proof 69 Deep Cameo. Unimprovable quality, the deeply frosted devices appear more like a coin cut out as the deep mirror fields seem to fall away from the frosted design elements. Superb, as much as an SBA can be.
Estimated Value $50-75.

Lot 1899
1980-S. PCGS graded Proof 69 Deep cameo. An example of modern numismatic marketing run amok. As fine as can be located.
Estimated Value $50-75.

Lot 1900
1981-S Type 1. PCGS graded Proof 69 Deep cameo. As fine as these are found.
Estimated Value $50-75.

Lot 1901
1981-S Type 2. PCI graded Proof 67 Deep Cameo. Excellent contrast accounting for the deep cameo designation. As struck.
Estimated Value $150-200.

Lot 1902
1981-S Type 2. PCI graded Proof 67. A curious design, the obverse shows Susan B. Anthony, with a rather stern expression on her face, the reverse with the eagle landing on the Moon, with the olive branch of peace extended to the little lunar creatures. The Earth is placed in the background, with an over-sized America predominating. What will we think of next? Then again, we have.
Estimated Value $125-175.

Lot 1903
1981-S Type 2. PCI graded Proof 66. Light golden toning over deeply frosted devices and ankle-deep mirror fields. As pretty as we usually see these.
Estimated Value $75-100.

Lot 1904
1999-P. PCGS graded Proof 69 Deep cameo. Superb.
Estimated Value $50-75.

Lot 1905
1953 and 1957 Proof sets. Each five piece set is choice and the silver has a slight blush of toning. Both are mounted in a red Capital plastics style holder. Lot of 2 sets or 10 coins.
Estimated Value $120-150.
