The Becoka Collection

关于此套币: Do to uncontrolable circumstances I had to sell this wonderful set. It will be re-build someday as this is still my favorite design. I hope it remains enjoyable to others with the photos I have posted.You would never know from looking at the pictures or you might not even notice with it in hand, the $5 Indian Half Eagle is an incuse design. It is incredible that this much detail is possible where the highest point of the devices is no higher than the surface of the fields.

My goal is to have a matched set in MS62 with the major keys in AU58. For me MS62 is the sweet spot of this series for eye appeal and cost. I believe that since hair lines are darn near impossible to see without help that MS62 coins can look every bit as good as an MS64. Sometimes even better with a bit of dirt and toning mixed in. I have found a few but the task is difficult.

Take a look at a few photos while you are here, my favorites are the 1910-S and 1912 for the natural aged coloring. Please contact me with comments and questions as I love to chat.

I am always looking for improved MS62 examples. I think this is the sweet spot of collecting this series and plan on always being on the lookout for something better. I will even consider trading an MS64 example for an MS62 example with superior eye appeal.

If you are new to this series AU58 is the secondary sweet spot. With a little effort you can have AU58 examples that look almost every bit as good as MS62 for a fraction of the cost. Be patient as there are some dipped, unnatural, dinged up AU58's. There is a range within this single grade as there is within all grades and it is worth while personally and financially to look for the higher end of a single grade.
