1911 Great Britain George V Coronation Silver Medal PCGS SP-63

Among the most artistically distinguished British commemoratives of the Edwardian era, this 1911 matte silver medal marks the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary at Westminster Abbey. A rare double-portrait issue (Eimer-1922a), it features both monarchs in sharp relief with a velvety matte finish and attractive charcoal-gray patina. PCGS-certified SP-63, certified survivors like this are seldom encountered. Available for $850.

1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-67+

A classic San Francisco Mint issue from the height of the 1880s, this 1882-S Morgan showcases George T. Morgan's elegant Liberty portrait and heraldic eagle reverse. Blast-white and fully lustrous, it's an absolute headlight on both sides. NGC has certified it MS-67+, just a hair from the esteemed MS-68 level, where the coin quadruples in price with one tick higher. Only one available. On Sale for $1,575.

430-440 AD Roman Empire Theodosius II Gold Solidus Constantinople ANACS About Uncirculated 58

Among the most historically significant coins of late antiquity, this gold solidus of Theodosius II was minted in Constantinople between 430 and 440 AD, an era when the emperor codified Roman law and Christianity defined the empire. Known to come weakly struck, this conservatively graded example is boldly struck and beautifully centered with a rare reverse. ANACS-certified AU58, with substantial original luster across rich golden surfaces. Available for $1,994.

393-423 AD Western Roman Empire Honorius Gold Solidus NGC Choice Extremely Fine 5x4

One of the most historically resonant coins of the late Roman world, this gold solidus of Honorius was minted at Ravenna during the era that saw Alaric's sack of Rome in 410 AD. Over 1,600 years old, this brilliant example is perfectly centered on both sides. NGC-certified Choice XF with an exceptional Strike of 5. Far rarer than the price implies, with only 690 certified in all grades. Available for $2,392.

Among the most recognizable ancient coins ever produced, this silver tetradrachm of Alexander the Great features Heracles in his lion skin headdress and Zeus enthroned. A spectacular 2,350-year-old example, shimmering and lustrous, beautifully centered on a perfectly round flan. NGC has certified it Choice AU with the coveted "fine style" annotation, denoting the highest artistic quality. Only one available, and price more than doubles one grade higher.
