APRC specializes in Choice and Gem Quality U. S., World and Ancient coins for collectors and investors. We travel to every major coin show from coast to coast buying the most beautiful, eye-appealing NGC and PCGS coins for our inventory and customer want lists. In addition, we are continually buying back great coins sold into collections 15-20 years ago.

When you deal with APRC, you deal directly with Evan Gale, sole owner and a professional numismatist for more than 30 years. APRC sets itself apart from virtually every other dealer by offering only the most high-end, eye-appealing coins for the grade. In addition, we select coins which we believe have great value in relation to the rest of the market and have the best potential to increase in value.

I am finally making some progress on my web site problems. After one month of calling and emailing my old company, with no results for the first time in 12 years, I have contacted a Denver hosting company and will be moving my site ASAP to be hosted by this new company. I needed some specific information from my old hosting company to move the site and luckily got that information from them with a message that they will be closing June 30.

It will probably take some time for the new company to figure out the problems associated with the site, repair it and get everything running as usual, but they seem to think that they can handle it, so I'm optimistic that we will be up and running soon.

I am still able to make changes to the Home Page listings, but am currently unable to make changes to the "Coin Inventory with Thumbnails", so please call or email to confirm availability or request photos.

*BUY NOW* Function Explained - I recently received a web site "Buy Now" order, so that function appears to have finally been repaired by my web company. Please send a follow up email if you use this function to make sure I get the order. To explain how this works...when you fill in your name and credit card information and click the button "Charge My Credit Card", I receive an email notification of the order with your Credit Card information. Your Credit Card is NOT automatically charged you will NOT receive an immediate automatic confirmation of the sale. I review the order, make sure it's not bogus, and charge the card myself through the processing machine in my office. I will personally send you an email confirmation. If you do not receive an email confirmation within 24 hours, please send me an email to let me know you placed the order or give me a call.

I DO NOT send coins to CAC and DO NOT designate CAC in my listings. Many of the coins in my inventory were purchased with CAC stickers. Please call or email about a specific coin or full list of CAC coins

New Purchases from the May 10-12 Denver ANA, April 18-21 Central States show and the April 5-8 PCGS Members Only Show:

*SOLD* 1787 Fugio Cent (United States Variety) MS63BN PCGS A great example of this tougher United States Variety. Absolute complete and solid strike front and back is the first thing to distinguish this coin from 95% of those in the same grade holder. Every detail of the coin is full and sharp. In addition the planchet is problem free and the color is an even chocolate brown with just a minor bit of darkness at 10 o'clock on the reverse. You will find about three "States United" varieties for every one of these. Value is about 10% higher than common according to the "Red Book", which lists the "States United" in "Unc" at $4000 and "United States" in Unc. at $4500. This coin...$5150

1875-S Twenty Cent MS62 NGC Purchased from a dealer who bought it in a collection and sent it once to NGC, expecting a MS63 grade. I can't argue. This coin is fully struck, super nice surfaces, brilliant flashy white with blasting full luster. Amazing quality for the grade and price...$1250

1875 Seated Liberty Quarter MS62 NGC Well struck, very clean and fully lustrous with lovely light violet patina going to blue at the peripheries from 4 to 12 o'clock. Reverse shows just a hint of rose patina overall with blue rim toning. Not sure why this coin is not in a MS63 or MS64 holder. Looking for a great Seated Quarter type on a budget...$675

1879 Liberty Seated Quarter MS64 PCGS Insanely nice coin for the grade. Full, sharp strike with cameo devices contrasting semi-prooflike fields on both sides. Super clean, basically mark-free.

1878-S Trade Dollar AU55 PCGS A truly great lightly circulated, completely original Trade Dollar. Medium to deep silvery patina with bluish highlights. Very sharply struck on semi-prooflike fields, this coin has the look of a proof...$785

*SOLD* 1901 $10 Liberty Gold MS64+ PCGS I finally found a $10 Liberty that is a good value. I can't tell you how many of these in MS65 holders are just not up to snuff...too many contact marks and scrapes. This one is just in a MS64+ holder and is truly better than most of the MS65's I see. Yes, it has a few minor contact marks...of course, but minor... and the coin has a full strike, great luster and pretty deep golden patina...$2450

*ON HOLD* 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS63 PCGS Brilliant white, fully struck with bright, haze free surfaces and strong luster. Super clean, distraction free surfaces...just a few microscopic hairlines account for the grade. A Lafayette with the look of a GEM at a great price...$2050

1939-D Oregon MS66 PCGS An original GEM, basically brilliant, but with a hint of ice blue patina overall. The usual satiny finish that is characteristic of this date, but with considerable flash, that is not characteristic of this date. A amazingly low mintage of 3,004. If this coin was Modern and had a mintage of 3000, it would be worth multiples of the current price...and every coin would be a perfect GEM housed in a Mint issued plastic case. One of the best values of the current coin market and a classic design...$875

World Coins:

*SOLD* 1699 Austria-Hall Leopold "The Hogmouth" Taler MS63 NGC A very sharply struck and attractively toned Taler, showing just very light patina overall with medium to deep silvery blue toning coming in about 1/4 inch from the peripheries on both sides. Choice uncirculated Talers from the 17th century are becoming non-existent in the market. This one came from a customer trade...$1550

1884 Great Britain Sovereign (Victoria Young Head) MS64 NGC Very scarce condition rarity. Tied with one other coin for Finest Graded, with only two others graded Unc...one MS61 and one MS63. A very high end coin with a strong strike, super clean surfaces, distraction free and fully lustrous. The best price comparison I can find is a recently sold 1853 Victoria Young Head Sovereign graded MS63 NGC with Pops: 5-61, 3-62, 5-63 and none higher. This coin, which has a total of 13 uncirculated specimens graded, five of which are MS63, brought $2990 in the April, 2012 Heritage World Coin Auction in Chicago. The 1884 specimen offered here is one of only two graded MS64, with only 4 uncirculated specimens graded in total...$4250

1807S CN Spain 2 Escudo Gold (22 mm) MS65 NGC An amazing condition rarity showing a sharp strike, clean surfaces and full luster.

1855 Braided Hair Half Cent MS65BN PCGS A superb type coin for the grade. Fully struck on both sides with even chocolate brown color and light blue highlights over the entire coin. Great surfaces and finished with strong glowing luster. Easily in the top 10% of the grade...$1385

1817 Coronet Cent (N-13, Frank Thomas Collection) MS62BN NGC Possibly the nicest coin for this grade that I have seen and certainly in the top 1% of this grade. Nicely struck with beautiful even chocolate brown color and strong luster. Completely free of spots and other distractions...$785
1818 Coronet Cent (N-10) MS63BN PCGS Very pleasing well struck specimen showing even, distraction free chocolate brown color with full luster...$875

*SOLD* 1862 Copper Nickel Indian Cent MS64 NGC Amazing quality and eye-appeal for the grade. I would have purchased this coin in a MS65 holder. Very sharp strike with impeccable surfaces, lovely bright reddish bronze color and full luster. Completely distraction free...$600

1884 Indian Cent PF67RB NGC Just slightly mellowed from bright RED to a golden-rose patina on basically flawless, fully reflective surfaces. A beautiful Gem Proof...$2250

1906 Indian Cent MS67RB NGC Perfection is truly elusive when it comes to Indian Cents, but the present coin is about as close as you will get. Fully struck with impeccable, spot free surfaces and finished with a just slightly mellowed violet-orange-red color on the obverse and bright original RED on the reverse. Super strong, glowing luster finishes this one-in-a-million type coin. I can't tell you how many Indian cents graded MS66 and even 67 RED that are just unacceptable to me because of cuts or carbon spots. And these coins sell for multiples of the price of this problem free Monster Gem...$1485

1864 Two Cent MS66BN PCGS A stunning Two Cent Piece and one of only TWO graded by PCGS, with none grading higher. A full sharp strike on both sides, this lovely copper shows blue and rose highlights on even chocolate brown surfaces and is finished with glowing luster. Knockout quality and eye-appeal...$2075

1864 Two Cent MS66+BN NGC (Aspen Park Collection) This is the finest large cent for the BN or RB designation that I have seen. The strike is full and sharp. The color is far from Brown. Instead bluish-rose highlights perfectly blend with even chocolate brown on both sides. Surfaces are basically flawless and the luster glows. Inimproveable in terms of both technical quality and eye-appeal...$2500

1865 Two Cent MS65RD NGC I buy almost no RED copper from this era for one reason. Virtually every piece is blotchy, has dark carbon spots and has poor eye-appeal. On occasion I find an exception and am thrilled when I can be the one to bring it to market. This Two Cent is the best for the grade that I have seen in many years. Fully struck, fully RED and fully lustrous, with no problems, marks or obvious carbon spotting. This coin is so exceptional, the dealer I purchased it from cracked it out of a MS65RD PCGS holder going for a MS66RD grade. NGC also graded the coin MS65RD and it comes with the old PCGS insert No. 5694237...$1975

*SOLD* 1865 Two Cent (Fancy 5) MS65BN NGC A wonderful two cent showing a full sharp strike, deep chocolate brown color with considerable original RED on both sides and lovely glossy luster. Very eye-appealing Two Cent...$650

*SOLD* 1872-S Seated Half Dime (Legend Obv.) MS65 PCGS (OGH) A super fresh, glowing little GEM. Basically brilliant white, this coins shows a full sharp strike (and few of them do) with a complete head, full drapery folds and lettering on the obverse and strongly detailed corn rows and leaves on the reverse. Just a hint of peripheral rose toning and thick, full luster finish this PQ type coin. Superb eye-appeal...$1100

1838 Seated Liberty Dime (No Drapery, Lg. Stars, Early NGC Holder, Aspen Park Collection) MS63 NGC Absolutely GORGEOUS type coin. Sharply struck front and back, this coin has MS64 quality surfaces and beautiful bullseye toning, starting with very light violet in the center, going out to medium violet in the fields and finished with medium sky blue around the peripheries. Reverse is similarly toned and the luster is strong. Off-the-charts quality and eye-appeal for the price...$1950

1911 Barber Dime MS65 PCGS Brilliant flashy white, this coin looks like it just dropped from the presses. A true Gem that shows a full strike, super clean surfaces (unlike most of the grade) and bright, blazing luster...$750

1912 Barber Dime PF65 CAMEO NGC Very strong brilliant Black and White Cameo with snowy white frosted devices contrasting very deeply mirrored fields front and back. Truly exceptional for the grade...$1750

1876 Seated Quarter MS64 PCGS Very attractive originally toned near GEM. Fully struck with a lovely even blend of golden-rose and blue-green patina over both sides. Completely distraction free and finished with shimmering luster, this coin is ready to find its home in a top notch type or date set...$1175

1890 Seated Quarter MS67 NGC Absolutely GORGEOUS Superb Gem showing a full, sharp strike with a beautiful even blend of sky blue and champagne-rose patina on shimmering semi-prooflike surfaces. Amazing quality and unimprovable Eye-Appeal...$5500

1890 Seated Quarter MS67 NGC A beautiful Superb Gem showing light Cameo devices constrasting glistening semi-prooflike fields. Light champagne patina overlays impeccable surfaces. Both sides are finished with lovely rose and blue peripheral toning. A standout beauty...$5500

1892 Barber Quarter MS65 NGC First year of issue and a beautiful type specimen. Fully struck and about 60% original white with lovely rose and blue toning at the left field and around the rims on the obverse and reverse. Full GEM surfaces, so much cleaner than the average Barber quarter of this grade and full luster. Exeptional type coin...$1475

1907 Barber Quarter MS65 PCGS Mint State Barber coinage of all denominations are among the toughest of all type coins to find with attractive toning. This piece is just beautiful. Fully struck with super clean, lustrous surfaces. The obverse shows just a hint of rose patina with a gorgeous blend of light blue-green and golden patina flowing out evenly into the fields and peripheries. Reverse is mostly brilliant with just a hint of rose, similar to the center of the obverse. You will not likely to find a more attractive Barber Quarter for the price in the next five years...$1395

1911 Barber Quarter PF68* CAMEO NGC WOW!! This Barber quarter looks like it just fell from the dies. Absolutely brilliant Black and White CAMEO that just misses a true ULTRA CAMEO, but is more deserving than many I have seen that actually bear the designation. Gorgeous snowy white strong CAMEO with a wonderful smooth appearance as opposed to the uneven die polished look that often comes on these CAMEO Proofs. Super deep mirrors and completely haze free. There are boring and unattractive PF68's and there are true MONSTER GEMS. This coin is among the top of the heap. "Star" designated by NGC for exceptional Quality and Eye Appeal...$12,000

1916-D Barber Quarter MS65 PCGS A lovely original Gem showing a full strike, super clean surfaces for the grade and splashes of blue and violet toning with full luster. Very pretty type...$1250

1858 No Motto Seated Half PF64+ NGC A wonderful deeply toned original near GEM example of this very tough early Seated Proof date. The Red Book shows an original mintage of only 300+. Pop: 1 in PF64+ with only 10 pieces graded higher. Absolute needle sharp strike with deep blue patina and showing considerable rose highlights on fully bright and reflective surfaces. Incredible quality and eye-appeal on this very rare Proof issue...$5750

1867 Seated Half PR64+ CAMEO PCGS The first "plus" coin graded of the date in any designation and a considerably scarcer early "Motto" date in all Proof grades. This example is superbly pleasing, showing a strong snowy white cameo with just a hint of violet-rose patina going slightly deeper into the fields and at its deepest at the peripheries on both sides. Fully bright and reflective with TOP FLIGHT eye-appeal...$3500

*SOLD* 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar (B-6, BB-25) XF40 NGC A wonderful, original early dollar. Well struck on both sides and completely free of adjustment marks and distractions.

Following the success of the exhibition, the palace was moved and reconstructed in 1854 in a modified and enlarged form in the grounds of the Penge Place estate at Sydenham Hill.

Exceptional Ancient Coins are now Featured on this web site. Click on "World Coins".

For more than 25 years now I have spent time at virtually every national coin show pouring over ancient coins. I have always been fascinated by these relics of history and have purchased a few for my collection. Over the past few years, I noticed that NGC has graded newly found Ancient hoards, generally giving the coin a simple grade like Uncirculated or Choice Uncirculated. Within the past two years, NGC has developed its Ancient grading department into a full blown service, giving detailed information and more specific grading, including a five point system for both strike and surface quality. With the advent of NGC grading, I believe that the collector base for Ancients will grow at an unprecedented rate during the coming years, as more and more collectors become attracted to the series. I know I personally feel more comfortable buying ancients that have been screened and certified by the independent experts at NGC.

I attended the 2010 International show in Chicago for the first time, only to discover that the show was about 80% ancient coins. That event gave me three solid days to examine a vast array of ancients from dealers throughout the US and Europe. I purchased a few select pieces at that show and decided to begin aquiring the most appealing ancients for Aspen Park Inventory. As I delved deeper into inventories, I realized that choice, eye-appealing ancients with interesting designs, detailed strikes and exceptional surfaces are few and far between. I have aquired a few choice pieces over the past year, including several at this year's 2011 International show in Chicago and present them for the first time on my web site. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I have enjoyed selecting them.
