1900-O. MS-65. This one has blotchy gold toning on both sides and we note some slide marks on Liberty's face. A rare date in gem grade, so make sure you view it carefully before the sale.
Estimated Value $7,000-10,000.

1905. NGC graded Proof 66. A stunning example of this date, the toning is quite alluring as it ranges from bright blue at the rims through red and gold towards light gold at the centers, similar on both sides. Perfectly struck and preserved, and a fine addition to a high grade set.
Estimated Value $2,200-2,600.

1905-O. PCGS graded MS-65. One of the finest graded by PCGS, they report 6 grade as such, with just 5 graded higher (best MS-68). This one has excellent luster and a good strike, with satiny gold toning starting to tone down the original white surfaces. One minor tick on Liberty's nose from a higher grade, but her cheek and the fields are very clean. A gem by any definition.
Estimated Value $3,500-4,000.

1907-O. NGC graded MS-66. A remarkable coin that boasts satiny gold luster and toning on both sides, and very few handling marks. Examination with a glass will note a couple of minor areas of contact. NGC has graded 5 this high, with 3 graded higher. Well struck by the dies and certainly one of the finest graded of the date. Take a look and see if this is one for your collection.
Estimated Value $2,000-3,000.
