Presenting The Juniper Collection of Early US Silver!
 
The Juniper Collection is an important offering of Draped and Capped Bust US Silver coins consigned to me by a long time JRCS member. It includes many investment grade coins that are infrequently seen in today's market.  Many coins are also very affordable for the early silver enthusiast. Please feel free to contact me with any of your questions.
 
 
I also have many other coins on my website including many desirable collector grade bust and seated coins. Many are CAC approved. Feel free to email me at davidbsunshine[at]yahoo.com if you have any questions.
