Early Commemoratives
	1925 50c	MS64	PCGS 11842392	Choice	$200	Lexington-Concord Sesquicentennial, Near-Gem Original, Well Preserved. The 1925 "Lexington" issue commemorates two famous battles fought during 1775 with a Minuteman on the obverse and the Old Beltry at Lexington on the reverse. This near-gem example is very well preserved and quite pleasing. Rich granular frosted luster is consistent on both sides. Golden hues are more predominant on the obverse. Surfaces are pristine. A superior example. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval.
	1936-D 50C	MS65	PCGS 38726056	Gem	$450	Cincinnati Music Center, Olive-Gold Patina, Granular Frosted Luster, Gem Original, Bart Chapman Collection.. As the United States early silver commemoratives began being overrun with dubious causes leading to the 1936 watershed, the Cincinnati Music Center fit right into the fray. First the Stephen Foster bust bears no relationship to the commemoration. Second, the coins were struck to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Cincinnati being a music center. OK, there must have been some heavy lobbying in Congress for this one. All kidding aside, this is another wonderful Chapman lot with olive-gold obverse toning and granular frosted luster. Peripheral gold nicely frames an untoned reverse center with the luster being quite creamy. Pristine surfaces round out the positives for bidding on this lovely lot. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1952 50C	MS62	NGC 3703927010	Choice	$45	Washington-Carver Commemorative, Golden Rose-Blue Colors, Brilliant Frosted Luster. A beautifully toned Washington-Carver half that is worthy of a small premium. Brilliant frosted luster amplifies the natural toning. Some wispy obverse hairlines, under 10x loupe, account for the certified grade. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1901 G$20	MS64	PCGS 04731934	Choice	$3475	New June 22! Attractive Orange Good, Granular Frosted Luster, Near-Gem Original, CAC Approved. A pleasing 1901 Liberty double eagle that offers classic orange-gold coloration. When viewed under a bright light, the luster has a granular frosted texture while the cartwheels are dynamic and fun to manipulate. Surfaces are consistent with the certified grade with only a few scattered micro abrasions. Overall, a near-gem that will be satisfying upon arrival. The CDN CAC guide currently stands at $4120 as reference. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 holder with CAC approval.
	1909-S G$20	MS64	CACG 356705764	Choice	$3650	New June 22! Honey-Gold, Granular Frosted Luster, Near-Gem Original, CAC Approved. The 1909 San Francisco struck gold double eagle is a readily available date. This new GFRC inventory example offers honey-gold coloration, a sharp strike, and a granular frosted "look".
