Coin · 1881
Morgan Dollar
Blast-white surfaces under a full cartwheel, with a strike that leaves every hair curl of Liberty distinct. The finest example we have handled of the San Francisco issue.
Coin · 1907
Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
High-relief Liberty with a smooth, undisturbed field and no sign of cabinet friction. A single shallow contact mark sits below the knee and holds the grade at 67.
Coin · 1921
Peace Dollar
The relief is fully brought up on the hair and the ray tips, and the frost is thick enough to scatter light across the eagle's wing. No hairlines under magnification.

Panini Prizm
The foil is unmarked and every corner is square. Surface inspection at 10x finds no print lines or roller marks across the holographic field.
Coin · 1916
Mercury Dime
Fully split bands across the fasces, sharp on both central rivets, with luster that rolls unbroken through the reverse field.
Trading card · 1952
Topps flagship
Near-perfect centering left to right and only the faintest edge wear under raking light. Original gloss remains across the portrait.
Trading card · 1933
Goudey gum
Ninety-year-old stock with surprisingly little toning; the sepia portrait is sharp and the reverse checklist is fully legible. Two slightly soft corners set the grade.
