In very recent history an MS-67 CAC 1796 Dime brought $881,000.00+ at auction. This is a Great early American coin. Around the same time that coin was being sold, we had an MS-66 specimen of the 1796 Draped Bust Dime on our website which we thought was a good price at $135,000.00. This coin was spotted and purchased by The American Independence Collection, a pedigreed collection of early American rarities. Here is a glorious example of the 1796 Dime graded by PCGS as MS-63 for what we think is a great buy on a top grade early bust dime of any kind, especially a 1796.....do you remember who was President then?More

Large Eagle, JR-1. This amazing early American silver coin is very rare and desirable to not only collectors of early coins and specifically 1790s coinage, but to the investor who is searching for true quality in a sea of mediocre coins. The overdate which is very neat is visible to the naked eye, and the drapery lines are strong. The coin has pleasant toning with light silvery devices and darker shades of grey and tan at the peripheries and is absolutely a cutie and a keeper for both fun and profit.More
