1901-S. PCGS graded MS-66. Bright white and untoned with reflective fields on both sides. Although this date is not as rare as its little brother the 1901-S quarter, these are pretty tough to find really nice. This one offers a bold strike, outstanding fields and devices, with just a hint of peripheral gold toning over vibrant white luster. This is one of the finer examples of this date and mint to survive and worthy of a top-notch collection.Pop 3; 3 finer, 2 in 67, 1 in 67+. (PCGS # 6491) Estimated Value $10,000 - UP

1903-O. PCGS graded MS-66. Boldly struck and quite frosty. Deeply toned on the obverse near the edges with dark russet, the reverse is also toned but much more delicately. The strike is fairly sharp for a New Orleans issue of this period, and the fields and devices are exceptionally clean. Liberty's cheek is just beautiful, with soft satin frost and no distracting marks. Pop 7; 4 finer, 2 in 66+, 2 in 67. (PCGS # 6496) Estimated Value $7,000 - UP
