Rare Coin Inventory: Bret Leifer was a public accountant for a number of years. This demonstrated attention to detail comes in handy in the selection of rare coins. Every coin listed is hand picked for lack of marks and eye appeal- that we would want for our own collection. All the other coins we buy end up in the inventories of the usual suspects!

This icy deep mirrored specimen has outrageous colors on both sides, The reverse looks as if it were painted. <pinks, gold, blues and reds> ...Just a truly incredible type coin for the collector ! If you NEED a Trade Dollar for your collection, and love color, THIS IS YOUR COIN as this piece could easliy be in an MS 66 holder. | $7,950 |

| 1878 | $20 Liberty MS 64 by PCGS, CAC Approved. This coin looks as if it is a 1904, not a piece dated in the 1870's. Quite frankly- this coin should not exist. The obverse, is clean with a few minuscule scattered marks in the fields. An extremely original piece which was stored in Pennsylvania for almost a century, with the same family. Most likely, ''the FINEST Known piece''. | S O L D |

| 1909-S-VDB | Lincoln Cent. The first year of issue & from the San Francisco mint. The iconic piece that was on everyone's want list. This coin, although smudged, is a solid XF with issues. PCGS genuine, XF details. A better than average filler for that board set. A VERY affordable example. |
