(1694) TOKEN London Elephant Token, Thin Planchet AU55 PCGS. Breen-187, Hodder 2-B, W-12040. Much more elusive than its Thick Planchet counterpart. An essentially unabraded mahogany-brown representative. The left sides are softly struck, retaining the planchet surface in selected areas, while the right border has a normal strike. Slight spreading on PRESERVE suggests a later die state. Listed on page 44 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 2 in 55, 6 finer (10/09).
1722 1/2P Rosa Americana Halfpenny, D. G. REX MS62 PCGS. Martin 2-B, W-1218, High R.4. A scarcer variety with the abbreviated obverse legend. Minor doubling or tripling of details, especially the letters, is seen on both sides, as often on these pieces. Smooth and glossy olive and dark brown surfaces show few imperfections. There is no color designation assigned to this piece on the PCGS label. Listed on page 40 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 6 in 62, 0 finer (10/09).
1744-BB SOU M French Colonies Sou Marque MS65 PCGS. Breen-616, Vlack-257, R.2. Incorrectly designated as 1744-A by PCGS. Possibly a 1744/3-BB, prospective bidders should examine the lot in person and draw their own conclusions. An attractive Gem example of this French Colonies issue. The luster is primarily satiny silver-white, though splashes of peach are also visible. A number of parallel planchet lines pass over the L on the reverse. Listed on page 51 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1785 COPPER Connecticut Copper, African Head AU53 NGC. Miller 4.1-F.4, W-2355, R.1. Predominantly olive-brown with occasional glimpses of rose-red in reverse crevices. The strike is generally good, although the right border still shows traces of the granular texture of the planchet. NGC has certified 11 examples, but among those, only the present coin is graded higher than XF40 (10/09). Listed on page 59 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, AUCTOPI XF40 NGC. Miller 42-kk.2, W-4245, High R.5. A pleasing, relatively smooth XF example of this rare variety. Deep chocolate-brown surfaces show lighter cinnamon-gold color at the worn high points. Listed on page 60 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1787 COPPER Connecticut Copper, ETLIR AU53 PCGS. M. 33.43-hh.2, High R.5. A partly lustrous medium brown example of this much better Miller variety. The usual ETLIR dies are 30-hh.1 or 31.1-gg.1. Due to slight die misalignment, the strike shows some softness near the obverse nose and opposite behind the head on the reverse. Otherwise well struck, and the lightly circulated surfaces are pleasantly free from marks or verdigris. Listed on page 60 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Small Planchet, Plain Shield XF45 NGC. Maris 46-e, W-5245, R.1. The familiar variety with prominent clashmarks from the shield near the plow. A smooth and attractive medium-brown state copper with no indication of verdigris or corrosion. Listed on page 66 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1783 COPPER Nova Constellatio Copper, Pointed Rays, Small US XF45 PCGS. Crosby 2-B, W-1865, R.2. Attractive olive-brown and sepia surfaces with slightly lighter design motifs. An excellent example. Listed on page 52 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Federal Contract Coinage
1787 1C Fugio Cent, STATES UNITED, 1/Horizontal 1 Fine 15 PCGS. Newman 10-T, W-6705, R.5. A rare variety listed on page 83 of the 2010 Guide Book. Though the chocolate-brown surfaces show significant wear, the overdigit is plain. Both sides have a number of planchet flaws with deeper color. Population: 2 in 15, 2 finer (10/09).
1787 1C Fugio Cent, New Haven Restrike, Copper MS61 Brown PCGS. Newman 104-FF, W-17560. An unworn medium-brown example of this popular restrike. Luminous surfaces show a number of wispy abrasions. Listed on page 84 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1787 1C Fugio Cent, New Haven Restrike, Copper MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. Newman 104-FF. An excellent example of this 19th century production, produced from copy dies that were similar to the original design. Both sides have considerable mint red, with light brown and iridescent surfaces. Listed on page 84 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Colonials
1787 TOKEN Auctori Plebis Token AU50 NGC. Breen-1147. A pleasing and unblemished deep walnut-brown example. A small curved mint-made clip is noted at 8 o'clock. The obverse profile is lightly brought up, and a few letters are partly off the flan due to centering. The usual die state with a banner-like break around the seated figure. Listed on page 70 of the 2010 Guide Book. Census: 3 in 50, 8 finer (10/09).
1789 TOKEN Mott Token, Thin Planchet, Plain Edge XF40 PCGS. Breen-1021. The Thin Planchet pieces are scarce relative to the usual Thick Planchet variety. An early dies example that lacks the often-seen die break from the northwest clock corner. The centers show traces of an undertype, probably an off-center Mott token. Chocolate-brown and free from consequential marks. Listed on page 70 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1794 1C Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent, NEW YORK MS66 Red PCGS. Breen-1029, Fuld-4, W-8590, R.1. This is the most extraordinary Talbot, Allum & Lee cent we have ever seen. This is the only full red example graded by either service in any grade. The surfaces are bright and show uniform, unmellowed color over both sides with sparkling, semiprooflike fields. Sharply struck throughout. The most curious part of the full red and high grade of this Talbot, Allum & Lee cent is the date: this is a 1794, not a 1795. According to Breen's Encyclopedia, "Those dated 1795 were formerly considered rare, but a hoard found in Britain after WW II yielded many Unc. examples, mostly brown to light olive, fewer original red." Population: 1 in 66 Red, 0 finer (10/09). Listed on page 72 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1794 1C Talbot, Allum & Lee/Iohn Howard Mule MS63 Brown PCGS. Breen-1049, W-8720, R.4. British philanthropist John Howard is featured on the portrait side of this interesting Talbot, Allum & Lee mule. The strike is typically deficient in certain areas of the design, but the surfaces exhibit a pleasing glossy brown sheen that is only interrupted by diagnostic die lumps in the obverse fields. Sole finest among 11 certified by PCGS (10/09).
1794 1/2 P Talbot, Allum & Lee/Birmingham Halfpenny Mule MS63 Brown NGC. Dalton & Hamer Warwick 54, Rulau-NY-883, W-8665, High R.4. A handsome medium brown representative. Boldly struck, although the boy's hair lacks absolute detail. The right obverse field has minute planchet flakes, as made. One of several elusive mulings known for the Talbot, Allum & Lee cent tokens, struck by Peter Kempson's mint to capitalize on the crest of copper "Conder" collecting in England during the late 1700s.
1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Small Military Bust, Plain Edge AU55 PCGS. Baker-4A, W-10155. A bold medium brown representative that exhibits an interesting clash mark (as made) above the olive branch. A wispy slide mark is noted in the right obverse field. The Small Military Bust is noticeably scarcer than its Large Military Bust Baker-4 counterpart. Listed on page 75 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Draped Bust, No Button, Copper Restrike, Engrailed Edge PR66 Brown PCGS. Baker-3. This Premium Gem mahogany proof is highly attractive with deeply mirrored fields and fully lustrous devices, creating exceptional contrast. Listed on page 76 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1783 COPPER Washington & Independence Cent, Draped Bust, No Button, Copper Restrike, Engrailed Edge PR65 Red NGC. Baker-3. A magnificent orange-red specimen with reflective fields and an exacting strike. Contact is absent, and carbon is inconsequential. Between NGC and PCGS, only four examples of this issue have been certified as full Red, and the present piece is the sole Gem. The obverse is rotated double struck, most apparent on the date. Listed on page 76 of the 2009 Guide Book.
1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Draped Bust, No Button, Silver Restrike PR62 PCGS. Baker 3A. The elusive silver version of the W.S. Lincoln restrike produced in the mid-19th century. This sharply detailed proof has excellent contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and lustrous devices. Both sides are brilliant with only a hint of gold and iridescent toning. Listed on page 76 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Undated 1C Washington Double Head Cent MS62 Brown NGC. Baker-6, R.1. The undated Washington Double Head cent is part of a series that is usually associated with the year 1783. The obverse (WASHINGTON) is fully lustrous with sepia patina and the reverse (ONE CENT) is deeper agate toning. The high points on each side show slight weakness. Listed on page 76 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Undated PENNY Washington Liberty & Security Penny MS62 Brown PCGS. Baker-30, W-11050, R.2. Its larger format makes the Liberty and Security penny one of the most majestic and desirable of all the Washington colonial pieces. This lovely Mint State example has bold design motifs, lustrous surfaces, and reflective fields. Both sides have intermingled yellow-brown and deep brown, accented by a touch of ultramarine on the high points. Listed on page 80 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Undated PENNY Washington Liberty & Security Penny, Corded Rim MS60 Brown PCGS. Baker-30D, W-11055, R.7. The scarcer Corded Rims variety, which exhibits tooth-like dentils on the rim. Mahogany-brown in color with frequent glimpses of lighter golden-brown toning. The strike is strong overall, particularly on the eagle's breast, although the epaulet is not fully defined. Listed on page 80 of the 2008 Guide Book.
Half Cents
1793 1/2 C --Scratches--NGC. VG Details. C-2, B-2, R.3. Both sides have dark brown surfaces with lighter tan devices. The surfaces are noticeably scratched, but the overall appearance is still acceptable. This first-year half cent will make a nice filler for a date or type collection. MRB AG3.(Registry values: P8)
1793 1/2 C --Corroded--ANACS. Fine 12 Details. C-2, B-2, R.3. The 1 in the fraction is well centered over 200. At arm's length the piece has a smooth, evenly worn appearance. Closer examination reveals moderate corrosion over the charcoal-brown surfaces. A planchet flaw (as made) extends from Liberty's temple to the top of the neck. Clockwise die rotation is noted on the order of 45 degrees. MRB Good 4.(Registry values: P8)
1795 1/2 C Lettered Edge MS62 Brown NGC. C-1, B-1, R.2. Manley Die State 2.0 with a bulge through AME. The second year of the Liberty Cap type, but with an entirely different head than appeared in 1794. The basic design is the same, but engraving differences are enough that the 1795 to 1797 half cents should be considered an entirely new design.
Lustrous mahogany surfaces exhibit the usual scattered marks that often accompany high grade pieces, and they are generally attributed to planchet roughness before the coins were struck. The fields are faintly reflective, and retain remnants of original mint red near some devices. This extraordinary piece will be a nice addition to the cabinet of a specialist or a type collector. MRB AU50.(Registry values: P6)

MRB AU50.(Registry values: P6)
1796 1/2 C With Pole Good 4 PCGS. C-2, B-2, High R.4. The more common of the two 1796 half cent variants, though still very scarce in an absolute sense and bordering on rare. The year's strikingly low mintage for half cents--just 1,390 pieces--has made it celebrated among collectors of the denomination. This well-worn example has deep brown surfaces with a touch of cinnamon. Both sides show general striking weakness, as sometimes found, and modest porosity is present at the margins, yet the eye appeal of this piece is strong. For the grade, a noteworthy survivor. MRB Fair 2. Population: 8 in 4, 25 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P9)
1800 1/2 C AU58 NGC. C-1, B-1, R.1. Manley Die State 4. A well-preserved chocolate-brown piece that has just a hint of highpoint friction. The smooth surfaces have a few faint hairlines and other insignificant distractions. This piece is important for its technical quality and first year of issue design, but also for slightly doubling on the obverse. Liberty's neck, lower lip, and chin are doubled, as are the letters in LIBERTY and the lower edge of the hair ribbon. MRB AU50.(Registry values: P5)
1803 1/2 C XF40 NGC. C-3, B-3, R.1. The obverse with the 3 in the date widely separated from the rest of the digits is diagnostic. Dusky brown surfaces are lightly textured but minimally abraded. VF25.(Registry values: P6)
1804 1/2 C Plain 4, No Stems MS64 Red and Brown NGC. C-13, B-10, R.1. This variety is characterized by a raised die line from the wreath through the E in UNITED. Crisply struck on the major devices, the obverse dentils are softly defined, characteristic of the later die state for the variety. Ample original salmon-pink color frequents the borders, while the devices have toned in medium brown hues. Well preserved, a single tiny spot is noted in the field near the chin. MRB AU55.
Ex: September Long Beach (Heritage, 9/1998), lot 5572, which realized $4,255.(Registry values: P4)

1805 1/2 C Small 5, Stems Fine 12 PCGS. C-3, B-3, R.4. Manley Die State 2.0. A heavy die bulge appears in the right obverse field. This is the usually seen die variety of the Small 5, Stems, although it is hardly common. Only about 100 examples are known in all grades, usually well worn and corroded or otherwise damaged. Despite some old faint scratches and selected strike softness on HALF CENT, this piece has a pleasing medium brown appearance. In a green label holder. MRB VG8.(Registry values: P5)
1825 1/2 C MS62 Brown NGC. C-2, B-2, R.1. Liberty's curl is over the space between the 2 and 5 in the date. Smooth medium-brown surfaces have blue and violet overtones. Well-defined for the issue. MRB AU55.(Registry values: P3)
1853 1/2 C MS66 ★ Brown NGC. C-1, B-1, R.1. An amazing Premium Gem, this 1853 half cent has frosty luster with considerable faded orange mint luster, combined with delicate blue and steel-brown toning. MRB MS63.(Registry values: P1)
1853 1/2 C MS66 Brown NGC. C-1, B-1, R.1. Frosty surfaces and rich steel-blue and medium brown toning characterize this impressive Premium Gem. MRB MS60+.(Registry values: P1)
1854 1/2 C MS66 Red and Brown PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.1. A sharply struck Premium Gem showing considerable red mint color combined with light blue toning over the rest of the obverse and reverse. Both sides exhibit brilliant mint frost. This is a lovely Braided Hair half cent destined for a first-rate date or type collection. MRB MS63.(Registry values: P1)
1855 1/2 C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.1. Fire-red fills outlines design elements, while the unabraded fields and portrait are toned chocolate-brown. A good strike with selected softness on the right-side dentils. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: P1)
Large Cents
1793 Chain 1C AMERICA Poor 1 PCGS. S-3, B-4, Low R.3. The bust line appears to be smoothly curved, characteristic of S-3. A shadow of the bust is visible on the obverse and a nearly complete chain is evident on the reverse. Although some typical handling marks are present on each side, this piece is surprisingly nice for its low numerical grade. MRB Basal State 1.(Registry values: N1793)
1793 Chain 1C Periods Good 4 ANACS. S-4, B-5 Large Cent, R.3. The sole Chain cent variety with periods after the obverse legends. LIBERTY, the chain, and ONE CENT are clear. The date and fraction are legible, as is most of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Moderately granular, particularly on the obverse, as expected of the grade. MRB 2.(Registry values: P5)
1793 1C Wreath Cent, Vine and Bars Good 4 PCGS. S-6, B-7, R.3. The so-called Sprung Die variety, due to a linear die bulge on the obverse, although it is barely visible on this example. Minutely granular with deep olive patina and lighter tan on the devices. A pleasing low grade Wreath cent for a date or type collector. MRB Good 4.(Registry values: N1793)
1793 1C Wreath Cent, Lettered Edge Fine 12 PCGS. S-11c, B-16c, Low R.3. Possibly the scarcer S-11b, since the holder precludes proper examination of the edge. A chocolate-brown cent that has an attractive obverse. The reverse has minor peripheral pitting and a few thin vertical laminations. A popular type, struck only during the initial year of the U.S. Mint. MRB VG 8.(Registry values: P4)
1794 1C Starred Reverse VG8 PCGS. S-48, B-38, R.5. There are only a few coins that can be identified without mentioning their date. The Starred Reverse is one of those coins. It gets its name from the 94 tiny stars sprinkled around the border of the reverse die. This example provides some grading challenges, as do most Starred Reverse cents. The reverse is much lower grade than the obverse.
In our opinion, the obverse has the sharpness of VG10, with a number of minor scratches and other marks. The reverse has the sharpness of Fair 2, also with a number of faint scratches. We consider the net grade to be Good 6 obverse, Fair 2 reverse, or Good 4 overall. With careful study, a little over half of the stars can be seen. MRB Good 4.(Registry values: P1)

1796 1C Draped Bust, Reverse of 1796 Fine 15 PCGS. S-92, B-28, R.3. Incorrectly designated as a Reverse of 1795 variety on the holder. The reverse has ONE and CENT widely separated. A wonderful piece for the grade, with smooth olive-brown and tan surfaces, showing lighter reddish color on the high points. A few trivial marks on each side are consistent with the grade. MRB Fine 12.(Registry values: N991)
1800/1798 1C VF20 ANACS. S-191, B-2, R.3. A pleasing example with extensive reverse die damage. While a glass reveals many faint hairlines, the overall appearance is excellent. MRB Fine 12.(Registry values: P1)
1802 1C XF40 PCGS. S-238, B-11, R.4. Die State II, with crack through UN of UNITED. The reverse is distinctive, with a die crack through the asymmetric fraction a strong diagnostic. Luminous chocolate-brown surfaces show granularity at the lower left reverse and a depression between the wreath and the first A of AMERICA. On the obverse, there are light scattered marks and an abrasion at 3 o'clock on the rim. MRB VF25.(Registry values: N991)
1812 1C Large Date VF35 PCGS. S-289, B-4, R.1. Pleasing medium brown with smooth surfaces. The S-289 is rather plentiful, but elusive in better grades. MRB VF25.(Registry values: P1)
Errors
1817 1C 13 Stars--10% Off Center--VF20 PCGS. N-10, R.1. Struck about 10% off-center at 6 o'clock. The surfaces are dark with minor corrosion, but insufficient to prevent PCGS from grading this piece. MRB VG10.(Registry values: N208)
Large Cents
1820 1C Large Date MS65 Brown PCGS. CAC. N-13, R.1. The well known Randall Hoard variety with heavy peripheral obverse die cracks and a triple-punched L in LIBERTY. Unlike most hoard examples, the present Gem is virtually carbon-free and has pleasing powder-blue and orange surfaces. MRB MS63.(Registry values: N1793)
1820 1C Large Date MS66 Brown NGC. N-13, R.1. A Randall Hoard cent, and very sharply defined as are all examples of this variety. Both sides have frosty blue-brown luster with splashes of original orange mint color. MRB MS60+.(Registry values: N1793)
1820 1C Large Date MS66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. N-13, R.1. The usual Randall Hoard variety, and one of the best made Coronet Head varieties of any date. All of the design features on both sides are well defined, and the surfaces have brilliant, frosty mint luster. This example displays considerable light orange mint color with splashes of pale blue toning. MRB MS63. Population: 6 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1837 1C Head of 1838 MS66 Brown NGC. CAC. N-10, R.1. This satiny chocolate-brown Premium Gem is gorgeously unabraded and spot-free. Well struck at the centers with minor incompleteness of strike near the rims. Housed in a prior generation holder. MRB MS60. Census: 33 in 66 Brown, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1837 1C Head of 1838 MS66 Brown NGC. N-11, R.1. Considerable reddish-orange color remains on this supposedly "brown" coin, particularly on the reverse. Well struck in the centers but with visible softness at the obverse stars. MRB 63.(Registry values: N1793)
1839 1C Silly Head MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. N-4, R.1. The ever-popular Silly Head variant, offered here as a brightly lustrous Select coin with a mix of mahogany, olive, and copper-orange color. Two vertical toning streaks pass through the wreath on the reverse. Housed in a green label PCGS holder. MRB MS63.(Registry values: N991)
1848 1C MS65 Brown NGC. N-41, R.1. Grellman Die State b, with light crumbling between the outer left loops of the second 8. N-41 was unknown to Newcomb, but many have been found since it was discovered, and now it is considered a common variety. Frosty and lustrous with noticeable original orange mint color on each side. MRB MS63.(Registry values: N1793)
1853 1C MS66 Brown PCGS. N-25, R.1. Grellman Die State b. The "Brown" designation is uncharitable, since considerable reddish-orange and mahogany is visible at the margins. Well-defined at the centers, if a trifle softly struck at the margins. Strong eye appeal for this hoarded variant. MRB MS63.(Registry values: N1793)
1853 1C MS65 Red and Brown NGC. N-25, R.1. The familiar variety with a "strong horizontal bar from dentils left of star 2," as described by Grellman in his invaluable reference. This chestnut-gold Gem approaches full Red, but the obverse border has mellowed in olive hues. Void of carbon and virtually unabraded. MRB MS63.(Registry values: N1793)
1853 1C MS64 Red PCGS. N-25, R.1. A brick-red near-Gem whose reverse is especially attractive. Thorough evaluation locates a few pinpoint obverse flecks. The strike is bold aside from several soft star centers. MRB MS64.(Registry values: N1793)
1854 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. N-8, R.1. Fire-red is plentiful along the borders, while the centers are toned chocolate-brown. This well struck Gem appears completely unabraded and has only the occasional peripheral flyspeck. MRB MS63.(Registry values: N1793)
1855 1C Upright 5s MS65 Red and Brown NGC. N-4, R.1. Nearly 50% original red remains on the obverse, with more than 25% on the reverse. The balance is attractive olive-brown with pale blue highlights. MRB MS63.(Registry values: N1793)
1855 1C Upright 5s MS64 Red PCGS. N-4, R.1. Two lumps left of the ear lobe and two more on the neck confirm the variety. This lustrous and nicely struck pumpkin-gold Choice Mature Head cent has a few splashes of apple-green, but marks are virtually absent aside from a faint contact above the jaw. MRB 64.(Registry values: N1793)
1857 1C Large Date MS65 Brown NGC. N-1, R.1. Mint orange is observed in some of the areas around the design elements; the relatively smooth, well-preserved surfaces otherwise display a soft light brown patina. Generally well struck, except that most of the stars do not show the radials. A very pleasing large cent with great eye appeal. MRB MS60. Census: 19 in 65 Brown, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Large Cents
1848 1C PR66 Red and Brown NGC. Ex: P. Kaufman. N-19, Low R.6. A very rare proof-only variety. Walter Breen, in his Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins, presents a roster of 16 pieces, but then says: " ... I have excellent reason to believe that this enumeration is far from complete."
This Premium Gem has impressive, well-preserved surfaces on both sides. The obverse displays intermingled mint orange color with hints of blue, while the reverse offers tinges reddish-orange with a strong presence of deeper blue. The strike is sharp, and there is slight but noticeable cameo contrast. On the obverse there is a tiny planchet flake out of the field between the top of the 1 and the end of the bust. The reverse shows a similar tiny flake below the C in CENT. Census: 2 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09). The highest Red and Brown coins at PCGS are three PR65s. MRB PR63.(Registry values: P2)

Flying Eagle Cents
1857 1C MS64 PCGS. Housed in an early small size PCGS holder, this highly lustrous near-Gem has frosty surfaces with splendid tan color. An outstanding example for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1857 1C MS64 PCGS. The obverse of this Choice Mint State piece has light tan at the center, with deeper golden-brown along the border, matching the reverse. Somewhat weakly struck, but attractive.(Registry values: N1793)
1857 1C MS64 PCGS. Both sides are awash with golden-tan luster and are well impressed. A couple light marks and tiny flecks barely preclude Gem status.(Registry values: N1793)
1858 1C Large Letters MS65 PCGS. High Leaves Reverse. Closed E in ONE. Despite an estimated mintage of 12.3 million pieces, Q. David Bowers states the 1858 Large Letters Flying Eagle cent is "very tough to locate" at the MS65 level. The present specimen is sharply struck, with bright yellow-tinge reddish color, and outstanding eye appeal. A few darker specks are noted on the obverse.(Registry values: N2998)
1858 1C Large Letters MS66 PCGS. High Leaves Reverse, Closed E in ONE. An incredible Flying Eagle cent for the grade or for any grade, this piece is boldly defined and highly lustrous with frosty mint brilliance. Both sides have rich golden-tan luster with pristine, virtually mark free surfaces. Population: 28 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
Proof Flying Eagle Cents
1858 1C Large Letters PR66 NGC. Snow PR-1. High Leaves, Closed E in ONE. An incredibly rare small cent issue, one of only 80 examples of the Large Letters Flying Eagle cent struck in the proof format, a mintage figure that automatically makes this date about 20 times rarer than the 1856 Flying Eagle cent. On top of that, perhaps only 50 or 60 pieces from that original production figure of 80 coins can be traced today. By way of contrast, the 1858 Small Letters proof coinage amounted to 200 pieces, and for the 1857 nearly 500 specimens were issued. The reflective, sunset-orange surfaces show considerable faded red around the obverse periphery and most of the reverse, which adds accents of aqua and indigo. All design elements are sharp and crisp, and one must search diligently with a loupe to detect even the smallest detrimental marks or flecks. A collection highlight in the making. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N10218)
1858 1C Large Letters PR67 Cameo NGC. Snow-PR1, the obverse with small die chips in the denticles below the date, which slopes up and to the right; these chips are weakened but visible. The reverse is the High Leaves variety, as with all proof 1858 Large Letters cents. Richard Snow lists an estimated mintage of 100 Large Letters proofs in his Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents.
As might be expected a mintage of just 100 pieces, high-grade specimens are rarities; in the NGC Census Report, there are only four proof Flying Eagle cents at the 67 grade level, regardless of issue or contrast designation, with none finer (10/09). Of the four pieces, three are of the 1858 Large Letters Variety, two Cameo and one Ultra Cameo, and the possibility of a multiple submission among the three 1858 Large Letters coins cannot be ruled out entirely. In addition, the PCGS Population Report shows no 1858 Large Letters pieces in PR67 or higher.
Snow notes for the issue in his Guide Book, "The Proofs of this year are usually exceptional with deep mirror fields and outstanding strikes." True to those words, this Superb Gem has remarkably reflective surfaces, rose-accented copper-gold with pale lilac-blue peripheral elements. Lightly frosted, decisively struck devices supply considerable contrast that meets more than the minimum needed for a Cameo designation. A small contact mark below the second S in STATES serves as a pedigree marker, and a minor strike-through is visible below the trailing ribbon to the left of the knot on the reverse.(Registry values: P2)

Indian Cents
1860 1C MS67 PCGS. A gorgeous Superb Gem, this 1860 Indian cent has the usually seen rounded bust tip. It is held in a green-label PCGS holder. The surfaces are satiny and lustrous with a full quota of mint brilliance, while the design motifs are fully and completely detailed. Only 11 submissions to NGC and PCGS combined, have been certified MS67 (10/09), including eight at PCGS. With 86 collectors working on Indian cent collections in the PCGS Set Registry, only one of every 11 collectors can hope to have an MS67, and then only if the population has no resubmissions. Here is one of the great opportunities in the present sale.(Registry values: N4719)
1863 1C MS66 PCGS. A boldly defined Premium Gem, this 1863 Indian cent has brilliant and satiny golden-tan luster. Only a few feather tips on the obverse are illdefined, with all other details sharp. The surfaces are remarkable for the grade. This amazing piece is equal to a small number of others that are tied for finest certified. Population: 28 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1864-L 1C Repunched Date MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. Snow-1, FS-2301 (formerly FS-006.7). In the Cherrypicker's Guide, Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton rate this variety as URS-6, meaning that they believe only 17 to 32 examples are known. Compare that survival to the 1873 Closed 3 Doubled Die, Snow-1, with an estimated survival of 126 to 250 pieces, or the 1888/7 Snow-1 Overdate, with a survival estimated at 33 to 64 coins.
This variety has a dramatic doubled date that may actually be a tripled date. With its listing on the PCGS Set Registry, it is especially important for specialists. Consider also that PCGS has only certified two coins identified as Snow-1 or FS-2301, and the other piece grades XF40! The present Choice Mint State example is mostly red with some mellow brown toning. It is an exceptional example that deserves spirited bidding competition as it has no peers.(Registry values: N1793)

1864 1C L On Ribbon MS64 Red NGC. CAC. A stunning near-Gem with a single small mark on the neck that prevents a higher grade. This lovely piece has brilliant orange mint luster with traces of iridescent toning that adds to its overall aesthetic desirability. Census: 23 in 64 Red, 19 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1869 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. A lovely Premium Gem with considerable subdued orange mint luster blended with medium brown toning. Census: 10 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1869 1C MS64 Red PCGS. Light pinkish-orange mint color with some darker patina. An outstanding Choice Mint State example with its full brilliance. Population: 43 in 64 Red, 35 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1873 1C Open 3 MS66 Brown PCGS. Violet-brown color graces the centers of this pleasingly detailed Premium Gem. Considerable golden-brown color is present near the rims. Overall, an attractive example of the Open 3 logotype.(Registry values: P5)
1877 1C Fine 12 ICG. Even wear over the high points makes one wonder when did this coin leave circulation and who handled it? The surfaces have light tan and chocolate-brown colors interspersed. Minimal handling marks for a Fine coin.(Registry values: N1793)
1877 1C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. VF Details. Both sides of this key-date Indian cent show moderate wear. Surfaces are pale copper-pink with scattered hairlines and patches of violet retoning near the rims.(Registry values: N1793)
1877 1C XF40 ANACS. With a small original mintage of 852,500 pieces and an unusually low survival rate, the 1877 Indian Head cent is the least available issue of the series. Moderate, even wear is seen on both sides of this attractive specimen. The surfaces are free of distracting abrasions, and much original detail remains evident on the devices. The surfaces are deep brown overall with a small specks of pinkish-red scattered about.(Registry values: N1793)
1877 1C AU50 PCGS. Light wear shows on the high points of this key date Indian cent. Soft brown surfaces exhibit well defined design elements, including sharpness in LIBERTY and the reverse wreath. No unsightly spots are evident and the only mark worthy of mention occurs on the nose.(Registry values: N1793)
1881 1C MS66 Red NGC. A remarkable Red piece notable for its attractive color. Orange-gold luster bathes this boldly impressed Premium Gem, and the infrequent minuscule fleck fails to detract from the coin's overall pleasing eye appeal. Housed in a prior generation holder. Census: 11 in 66 Red, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1886 1C Type Two MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. The last feather tip of Liberty's headdress points between C and A of AMERICA, indicating that this piece is an example of the Type Two Indian cent design, referred to as "Variety 2" on the PCGS insert. This example is lustrous and boldly struck overall, if a tad weak on several of the obverse high points. Nicely preserved with minimal marks and just one or two unimportant specks.(Registry values: N1793)
1908-S 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. The Eliasberg catalog notes that 1908-S cents were struck on silver presses. The hardness of bronze compared to silver might help explain why this issue is usually found softly struck. That being said, Mr. Eliasberg held out for a sharp one. This piece displays one of the strongest strikes we can remember on this issue. Otherwise, the surfaces display muted red and brown patina, and there are no mentionable flaws.
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 657.(Registry values: N1793)
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 657.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S 1C MS62 Brown PCGS. The second S-Mint Indian cent, and the final issue of the design, struck at the beginning of the year. Medium olive surfaces retain hints of light orange.(Registry values: N991)
Proof Indian Cents
1860 1C PR66 ★ NGC. The Rounded Bust variety, as are all proof 1860 Indian cents. Proof 1860 cents are rarer than their 1,000-piece mintage might suggest, as 450 or so were melted or released into circulation due to poor sales (Richard Snow, 2006). Copper-gold, crimson, and sky-blue patina adorn the well cared-for surfaces of this Premium Gem that was awarded the coveted Star designation. The design elements are sharply struck, except for the usual softness on the feather tips. Census: 1 in 66 ★ , 0 finer with Star (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1862 1C PR64 PCGS. CAC. Pale orange toning over the usual tan surfaces of the copper-nickel Indian cents creates excellent eye appeal on this Choice proof.(Registry values: N1793)
1862 1C PR65 NGC. Light copper-orange color in the centers turns dusky at the margins. This Gem proof is well struck with a small spot below the ST in STATES.(Registry values: N2998)
1864 1C Copper Nickel PR64 Cameo PCGS. Exquisitely struck with bright gold-tan patina that shows tiny splashes of pastel green, rose, and violet. A few scattered flecks are noted over each side. Population: 22 in 64 Cameo, 27 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1866 1C PR67 Red and Brown NGC. Orange color on the obverse cedes to deep reddish-purple on the reverse, and a well directed strike leaves razor-sharp definition on the design elements. Neither side reveals mentionable abrasions or carbon spots. Additionally, field-motif contrast is evident at various angles. Census: 1 in 67 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1867 1C PR66 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. Only a blush of blue and lilac toning over otherwise fully brilliant orange mint surfaces prevents the full Red designation from NGC. A stunning Premium Gem, this piece appears to have 90% of its fully brilliant original color remaining on both sides. Census: 11 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1868 1C PR65 Red Cameo NGC. Beautiful copper-gold color adorns both sides, each of which exhibits sharply struck design elements. Well preserved throughout. Full Red pieces are unusual, as most are Red and Brown (Richard Snow, 2009). The coin possesses a nearly full medal turn, typical of the issue. Census: 2 in 65 Red Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4)
1869 1C PR66 Red NGC. In contrast to this issue's comparatively small proof mintage of 600 coins, production surged to a four-figure level the following year. This crisply struck, carefully preserved example offers bold, bright orange surfaces with a hint of olive and rose on each side. Census: 5 in 66 Red, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1884 1C PR67 Red NGC. CAC. The 1884 proof Indian Head cent saw a high mintage of 3,942 pieces and can be located through PR65 Red without to much difficulty. Premium Gem Red examples are more challenging, and finer coins are elusive. Luminous copper-gold surfaces of this red Superb Gem display splashes of orange joined by whispers of light blue on the reverse, and are exquisitely struck. A couple of tiny flecks on each side are undisturbing. Census: 4 in 67 Red, 0 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Lincoln Cents
(7) 1909 VDB 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Lot of seven coins, each fully brilliant with rich orange mint luster and excellent eye appeal. The 1909 VDB cent is a great story coin that remains affordable. Here is an excellent opportunity to acquire a hoardlet of these coins.(Registry values: N208)
1909-S VDB 1C PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has obverse damage. While the obverse shows significant scrapes on Lincoln's beard and below the second T in TRUST, the deep brown surfaces are surprisingly smooth otherwise.
1909-S VDB 1C Fine 15 ANACS. This medium-brown piece was perhaps softly struck, since the obverse shows light detail on the portrait of Lincoln. The date and mintmark are bold, however, and on the reverse, the initials are as sharp as the wheat ears.(Registry values: N1)
1909-S VDB 1C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. Sharply defined with slight rub. The outer reverse zones have retoned deep reddish-brown and sunset-orange, but the reverse is lighter with dimmed luster from a past cleaning.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. A well-defined example of this famous first-year variety with light wear across the devices. Cinnamon-gold and reddish-violet surfaces are luminous with scattered hairlines from a past cleaning.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. A well-defined and minimally worn example of this ever-popular key date. Both sides have patchy green-brown and pink-gold color indicative of a past cleaning.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C --Cleaned--ANACS. AU50 Details. A boldly impressed, lightly circulated example of this famous key Lincoln cent. The luster of the peach and copper-gold fields is bright but disturbed, the result of a past cleaning.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C MS61 Brown NGC. Deep brown color with occasional cinnamon and rose-gold overtones. Though a number of wispy abrasions are visible on the surfaces, this well struck piece has better eye appeal than the grade might suggest.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C MS62 Red and Brown NGC. The generally honey-gold fields occasionally cede to olive and sky-blue, but are closer to Red than Brown. Crisply struck and lustrous with a small gray spot on the upper right obverse field and a few scattered minute flecks on the reverse.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This shimmering key date Gem is orange and fire-red with hints of lilac on the vest and obverse field. Essentially bereft of abrasions. The strike is bold, even on the important VDB initials, which sometimes come blurry due to their placement near the rim. The initials were removed later in 1909, but reappeared on Lincoln's bust truncation in 1918.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. A definite woodgrain appearance characterizes the surfaces of this important key date Gem. Well struck with minimal marks and only a few scattered flyspecks on each side. Variegated lime-green, tan, and rose coloration enhances the eye appeal of this carefully preserved example.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red and Brown NGC. Considerable mint orange is apparent on this Gem key-date Lincoln cent, intermixed with occasional blushes of bluish-tan. Sharp definition is noted on the design features, including fully delineated lines in the wheat stalks. The surfaces on both sides are quite clean, revealing no significant abrasions or unsightly spotting.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. The S-VDB is secure in the pantheon of 20th century rarities, in spite of its seeming availability in major auctions. After seeing a number of these pieces one tends to notice they usually have a yellow cast or a woodgrain texture. This piece is unlike most examples of this low-mintage issue we have seen. The color is a rich, flaming red. No yellow and no woodgrain. It appears more like the P-mint cents from the 1920s than an S-VDB. The strike is full throughout, and the surfaces are definitely upper-end, thus explaining the CAC sticker.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Copper-gold luster invigorates this key date Gem and an impressive strike delivers sharp definition to the design elements, except that the VDB initials are just a tad soft. Close inspection reveals no mentionable contact marks or flecks. This eye appealing piece reposes in a first generation holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. CAC. A sharply struck Gem with brilliant orange mint luster on both sides. This is a spectacular coin for the grade, free of spots and surface marks.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S 1C MS66 Red NGC. The passage of a century has scarcely muted the rose and orange color on this shining Premium Gem. The strike is impressive, particularly in how it reveals the early intricate textures in Lincoln's hair. Only a few tiny flecks are visible in out-of-the-way parts of the fields.(Registry values: N991)
1909-S 1C S Over Horizontal S MS65 Red NGC. FS-1502, formerly FS-012.3. The S/S is a scarce and popular variety of this already-seldom-seen first-year issue. The surfaces of this piece display the usual orange-gold that has just a hint of yellow. Sharply struck.(Registry values: P2)
1910 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Copper-gold peripheries encompass lime-tinged fields and devices. Unabraded and lustrous with a few trivial chestnut freckles above LIBERTY. A good strike with minor blending on the O in ONE.(Registry values: N491)
1910 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Magnificent color and overall preservation of surfaces. The interiors of each side are bright orange-gold with an outline of subtle cherry-red at the perimeter. Fully struck.(Registry values: N491)
1911 1C MS66 Red NGC. Interesting surfaces. Each side has matte-like granularity with an overlay of soft mint frost. The strike is complete throughout, and there are no mentionable abrasions. A really sharp looking early Lincoln cent.(Registry values: N991)
1911-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. A well struck and carbon-free pumpkin-gold Gem of this scarce early Denver issue. The mintmark impression is unusually light, particularly on its base, and the dies are moderately rotated.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-S 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Even though this Gem is certified as Red and Brown, we have seen pieces with less orange mint luster that are certified as full Red. This brilliant and lustrous cent has only slight mellowing of the mint color on each side. A few trivial marks and spots prevent a higher grade. Population: 54 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1911-S 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Luster shimmers throughout this sharply struck Gem, partly toned Brown but with ample dusky orange-red, particularly on the reverse. Carbon is minimal. An elusive early S-mint issue.(Registry values: N1793)
1912-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. A beautiful brick-red Gem that provides satin sheen and outstanding preservation. The strike is imprecise only on the top of the O in ONE. Branch mint issues from the initial years of the series are seldom seen in such quality.(Registry values: N1793)
1913 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Mint State 1913 cents are relatively plentiful in all three color designations. Full Red Premium Gems such as the present offering are more difficult to come by, however. Lustrous copper-gold surfaces exhibit well struck devices and are devoid of contact marks. Light minuscule flecks on the lower reverse are undisturbing. Population: 60 in 66 Red, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1913-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. Bright copper-orange and peach colors prevail on this Red Gem, though the lower reverse shows a small patch of ruby-violet. Strongly impressed with a single small abrasion between Lincoln's beard and the first 1 in the date. One of just 16 MS65 Red examples graded by NGC, with none numerically finer in the color category (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1914-D 1C AU50 PCGS. Deep chocolate-brown surfaces are slightly glossy with faint but evocative blue overtones. Well-defined with light, even wear, strongly appealing for the issue and the AU50 designation.(Registry values: N991)
1914-D 1C --Cleaned--ANACS. AU55 Details. Strongly struck with only minor rub and spotting, a scarcely worn example of this still-underrated issue. Copper-peach surfaces have the pinkish tints and light hairlines that are indicative of a past cleaning.(Registry values: N991)
1914-D 1C AU58 PCGS. This is a coin that will appeal to a wide variety of collectors. While not cheap by any means, it nevertheless is much less expensive than a strictly Uncirculated coin. All the striking details are present, and there is little friction evident over the high points. As such, this even brown, lightly handled example represents excellent value in a series that is still the most widely collected in U.S. numismatics.(Registry values: N991)
1915 1C MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. This lovely orange-gold Gem exhibits scintillating luster and has an especially pleasing obverse. The mintage is low for a Philadelphia issue. Encapsulated in a green label holder.(Registry values: N991)
1915 1C MS65 Red PCGS. One of the more obtainable early Lincoln cents, this 1915 has complete red color and fully struck devices with complete beard details.(Registry values: N991)
1915-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Even cherry-red color is seen over each side with a few dashes of lavender in the right obverse field. A fully struck example of this scarcer mintmarked issue from the teens.(Registry values: N991)
1915-S 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. Pumpkin-orange and light brown shadings mingle on this earlier S-mint Lincoln cent. Few marks are present on the slightly granular surfaces.(Registry values: N991)
1915-S 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. A splendid example of this semikey Lincoln cent, one likely to appeal to the many collectors assembling non-Red cents of this elusive series. The obverse is brick-red and lavender, with some pretty bluish-brown tints on the reverse. Sharply struck and appealing. PCGS has certified only 14 Red and Brown coins finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1916 1C MS66 Red PCGS. This sun-gold Premium Gem exudes dynamic luster and has an exemplary strike. The obverse is virtually pristine, and the reverse has only two tiny flecks at 2:30 and above the base of the E in ONE. Encased in an old green label holder.(Registry values: N991)
1917-D 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Copper-orange and mahogany elements converge on this lustrous D-mint Gem. Strongly struck and minimally marked with excellent eye appeal for the grade. Population: 26 in 65 Red and Brown, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1918-D 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Retained in an older green-label PCGS holder, the present Gem has bold details with excellent reddish-orange luster. A few subtle spots are present as expected. Population: 21 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1918-S 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Whispers of light tan visit the lustrous copper-gold surfaces of this lovely Gem. Sharply struck and devoid of mentionable contacts or spots. Population: 19 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1920 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Dazzling luster and an unimprovable strike highlight the present Premium Gem. Peach and straw-gold with a dash of deep crimson on the N in CENT. PCGS has certified only five examples as Red in higher grades (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
1921-S 1C MS65 Brown PCGS. Highly attractive medium golden-brown patination graces both sides of this Gem, each of which reveals a semigloss finish and well struck design elements. This is a well cared for piece. Housed in a first generation holder. Population: 3 in 65 Brown, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1922-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Gem Mint State 1922-D cents are difficult to locate with a combination of original color, sharp strike, and good eye appeal. This splendid Gem meets those criteria. Lustrous copper-gold surfaces exhibit sharply struck design elements and are devoid of mentionable marks or spots. A highly appealing piece. Population: 82 in 65 Red, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse Fine 15 NGC. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. A tempting walnut-brown coin of distinctly better quality than the typically seen Fine example. A few spots of deeper teak color appear on and around the portrait.(Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse VF20 ANACS. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. Blue overtones grace the deep chocolate-brown surfaces of this No D cent. Even with the moderate wear present on this piece, the lines of the wheat ears remain sharp where still visible.(Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse--Obverse Scratched--NGC. VF Details. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. Medium-brown overall with a slight golden cast to the obverse, while the reverse has heather accents. The obverse shows numerous abrasions and a few scratches: curving ones to the left of Lincoln, a few gouges above him, and a horizontal letter "H" scratched to his right.(Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse VF25 PCGS. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. Evocative blue-violet overtones enhance the walnut-brown surfaces of this midrange No D cent. Lightly marked overall with a depression noted to the left of the C in CENT on the reverse.(Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse VF35 PCGS. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. A Choice VF example of the famous No D variety with chocolate-brown surfaces that show faint gold and lavender overtones. Glossy luster and few abrasions.(Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse XF40 ANACS. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. Glimpses of blue and violet add color to otherwise deep walnut-brown surfaces, while the reverse also shows a touch of gold. Strongly impressed on the reverse, though the obverse shows the characteristic mushiness and lack of detail that caused the No D variety.(Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse--Polished--ANACS. XF45 Details. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. This famous variety is popular regardless of grade. The obverse of this mildly worn example shows a number of abrasions and is more heavily polished than the reverse.(Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse AU58 PCGS. FS-401, formerly FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. An unusually high-end example of this desirable die pair, distinguished by the sharp lines in the wheat ears. Chocolate-brown surfaces show light lavender accents on the reverse. Only minor rub is present on the high points, though a few shallow marks are also present on each side. Population: 42 in 58, 37 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1924 1C MS66 Red PCGS. 1924 one cent pieces are available through the MS65 level of preservation with relatively little difficulty. Full Red Premium Gems such as the coin in this lot, however, are considerably more challenging. Its lustrous orange-gold surfaces yield well struck design motifs and are free of significant marks. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 65 in 66 Red, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1925-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Both sides of this Gem are awash in attractive copper-gold luster. The design features boast better definition than usually seen, especially on the obverse. The right wheat stalk is weak, but the remaining reverse elements display relatively nice detail. These factors are significant as the '25-D is considered one of the most poorly made issues in the entire Lincoln series (David Bowers, 2008). Additionally, notable contact marks or flecks are absent. Population: 40 in 65 Red, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1925-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. In 1925 the San Francisco Mint was more concerned about quantity than quality in its output. As a result, Red Gem examples of the 1925-S cent are extremely difficult to locate. This Red Gem is housed in a green-label PCGS holder and is one of just 10 pieces so graded that PCGS has certified in more than 22 years. They have never graded a finer example (10/09).This piece has wonderful light orange surfaces with satiny luster. A few faint spots are visible, mostly limited to the reverse, but the eye appeal is strong. The strike is excellent for the issue.(Registry values: N4719)
1926 1C MS67 Red PCGS. A fully brilliant Superb Gem with bright orange mint luster and splashes of gold on the reverse. This is an exceptional example for the Set Registry collector. Population: 77 in 67 Red, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
1926-S 1C MS64 Brown NGC. Certified as Brown, but deservedly a Red and Brown example. The obverse has mostly pale orange mint color and the reverse is lustrous dark brown.(Registry values: N1793)
1926-S 1C MS64 Red PCGS. CAC. This is an extremely important offering for the Set Registry collector and is just one of several important condition rarities in the series. Nearly every branch-mint Lincoln cent from the 1920s is rare with full red color. The condition rarity of the '26-S is legendary among collectors. Only two pieces have been certified as MS65 (one at each service), and the PCGS MS65 Red coin we sold in our FUN Sale in January 2006 realized an astonishing $149,500. With this in mind one can easily see the value represented by a high-end MS64 Red coin such as this one. The design elements are sharply defined, and each side has highly attractive pale orange luster with only a few grade limiting blemishes. The next owner should be very pleased with this Choice coin. Population: 66 in 64 Red, 1 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1927-S 1C MS64 Red PCGS. Boldly struck and displaying slightly muted golden-red color and a few small toning spots. There is a small abrasion between the O and N of ONE on the reverse. Elusive any finer, with just 15 such Red pieces known to PCGS (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1928-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. A copper-red Gem with booming luster and mark-free surfaces. The reverse exergue has a hint of olive and rose. Sharply impressed except for the O in ONE. Housed in an old green label holder. Population: 74 in 65 Red, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1929 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Fresh apricot and copper-gold colors dominate the eye appeal of this shining Superb Gem. Strongly struck with immense eye appeal. Despite a mintage in excess of 185 million pieces, the 1929 cent is scarce in certified MS67 red condition, and neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer Red example (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1929-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. This pumpkin-gold Gem is devoid of contact or toning. Lustrous and well struck with only the most inconsequential reverse carbon. Exceptional quality for the grade.(Registry values: N991)
1929-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. A satiny Gem that has lovely cherry-red and olive tints. Boldly struck and nearly unabraded with minor carbon left of the right wheat ear. The mintmark is filled.(Registry values: N991)
1929-S/S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. FS-501, formerly FS-013.65. The secondary S mintmark is evident north of the primary mintmark. The 5th edition of the Cherrypickers' Guide indicates that the issue is considered rare and tough to locate in any grade. Blazing copper-orange luster emanates from lovingly preserved surfaces. Well struck throughout. Population: 2 in 65 Red, 0 finer (10/09).
1930-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. A peach-gold beauty whose lustrous fields and devices appear devoid of contact. Extensive study is required to find the infrequent pinpoint carbon on the obverse field.(Registry values: N491)
1931-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Apparently fated to always live in the shadow of the 1931-S, the 1931-D is a scarce issue (some would say scarcer than the '31-S) in Gem condition and with full red color, as seen here. The surfaces are rich cherry-red with lilac shadings intermingled, and there is a smudge of darker color at the top of the reverse.(Registry values: N991)
1933-D 1C MS67 Red NGC. Amazing, bright, even red color covers each side of this beautiful MS67 piece. Census: 39 in 67 Red, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1937-S 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Copper-orange luster endows this Superb Gem S-mint specimen, and a solid strike delivers sharp definition to the devices. Impeccably preserved with no mentionable blemishes.(Registry values: N208)
1943-D/D 1C MS65 NGC. FS-501, formerly FS-019. The secondary mintmark is widely southwest of the primary mintmark. According to the FS reference, " ... extremely tough to locate." This is a bright coin with even zinc surfaces.(Registry values: P2)
1944-D/S 1C MS64 Red NGC. FS-511, formerly FS-020. A scarce overmintmark variety, both sides are intensely lustrous with a vivid crimson-orange sheen. A small scrape in the upper reverse field is noted for accuracy.(Registry values: P2)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. FS-101, formerly FS-021.8. The doubled letters and digits are starkly outlined on the obverse. Both sides show cloudy and unnatural luster on brown surfaces that show green and violet elements.(Registry values: N991)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. FS-101, formerly FS-021.8. A boldly doubled, briefly circulated example of the issue that inspired more concentrated study of doubled dies. Golden-brown surfaces have a pinkish cast and hairlines, two telltale signs of cleaning.(Registry values: N991)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS61 Brown NGC. FS-101, formerly FS-021.8. Attractive medium brown patination graces the semiglossy surfaces of this well known variety. Well struck except for minor softness on some of the lines of the rightmost wheat stalk. A few minuscule contact marks are visible, but no mentionable spots.(Registry values: N991)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS62 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. FS-101, formerly FS-021.8. A lovely example for the grade, with considerable faded orange mint luster that gradually changes to medium brown, especially on the devices. A few trivial abrasions on each side suggest the grade, although there are no spots or significant blemishes on either side.(Registry values: N991)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-021.8. A strongly struck and immensely appealing near-Gem example of the signature Lincoln cent doubled die. The dusky reddish-orange surfaces, minimally abraded for the grade, show occasional violet and green accents in the fields. PCGS has certified 18 finer Red representatives (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1956-D 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Bright copper-orange surfaces show peach and apricot accents. Only a few small flecks are apparent on the reverse, and the fields and devices are nearly mark-free. A remarkable Superb Gem, tied for finest Red example certified by NGC or PCGS (10/09) and a Registry collector essential.(Registry values: N208)
1963-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Ron Bozarth Collection. Boldly struck with uniform golden-red surfaces that show innumerable die polish lines. A gorgeous Premium Gem. Population: 52 in 66 Red, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N69)
1971 1C Doubled Die MS64 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-031. LIBERTY and the date exhibit obvious die doubling. A boldly impressed example with potent luster and radiant pumpkin-gold color. The reverse exergue has a couple of minor ocean-blue speckles.
1971 1C Doubled Die MS65 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-031. Doubling is most prominent on LIB(ERTY) and the 97 in the date. The pale copper-rose surfaces offer fresh mint bloom, with only a small planchet stain visible behind Lincoln's head. Fully Red representatives of this popular doubled die are elusive and prized.
1972 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-033.3. The surfaces are wonderfully original. The obverse is light red with yellow peripheral accents, while the reverse is a bit deeper in hue.(Registry values: N991)
1987-D 1C MS68 Red PCGS. Vibrant orange-gold adorns both sides of this breathtaking Superb Gem. Beautifully preserved with exacting detail. Population: 20 in 68 Red, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N208)
Proof Lincoln Cents
1913 1C PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. The obverse of this boldly impressed example has lovely copper-orange patina with traces of rose and lavender, while the reverse offers deeper mahogany, peach, and amethyst. An exacting strike imparts exquisite detail to the design elements. Population: 10 in 66 Red and Brown, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1936 1C Type Two--Brilliant Finish PR66 Red NGC. The earlier satiny proofs of this year (Type One) were replaced with a fully mirrored format (Type Two). Splashes of yellow-green visit the copper-orange surfaces of this Premium Gem. This sharply struck impeccably preserved specimen is completely free of annoying marks or spots. Census: 20 in 66 Red, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1939 1C PR67 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. Impressive luster radiates from both sides in well-blended orange-red and cherry-red hues. The smooth, fully brilliant features are essentially pristine. Population: 27 in 67 Red, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1959 1C PR69 Cameo PCGS. Essentially flawless with strong contrast between mildly frosted devices and gleaming gold-orange mirrors. A great specimen from this initial proof Lincoln Memorial issue. Population: 8 in 69 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1964 1C PR70 Red PCGS. A gorgeous fire-red specimen without any trace of carbon or other imperfections. For the collector who will not settle for less than the ultimate grade. Population: 10 in 70 Red (10/09).(Registry values: N69)
Two Cent Pieces
1864 2C Small Motto MS64 Brown NGC. FS-401, formerly FS-000.5. An attractive, well-defined example of the elusive Small Motto variety. Dusky medium-brown and walnut-hued surfaces also show cinnamon and violet accents.(Registry values: N1793)
1864 2C Large Motto MS66 Red NGC. Although this first year of issue is plentiful in most lower grades, it is conditionally rare in Premium Gem, especially with the full and brilliant orange mint luster that appears on this example. Both sides have trivial specks that are hardly worth mentioning. Census: 1 in 66 Red, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1865 2C MS65 Red PCGS. Orange-gold luster endows both sides of this sharply struck Gem, each of which is devoid of mentionable marks. Light clash marks are visible on the central reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Two Cent Pieces
1867 2C PR65 Red PCGS. CAC. Reflective fields display moderate contrast with the motifs when the coin is tilted slightly beneath a light source. Copper-gold color embraces both sides, each of which exhibits exquisitely struck design elements. A few tiny flecks may well preclude an even finer numerical grade. Outstanding eye appeal is aptly reflected by the affixed CAC green label. Population: 20 in 65 Red, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1871 2C PR66 Brown NGC. CAC. A pleasing tan Premium Gem proof with traces of blue and remnants of original orange luster. Census: 7 in 66 Brown, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1871 2C PR65 Red and Brown NGC. The obverse of this Gem is fully brilliant with light orange mint color, while the reverse is moderately toned in light brown and delicate blue. A lovely example.(Registry values: N991)
1871 2C PR65 Red and Brown NGC. Smooth surfaces show a progression from muted copper-orange to medium-brown on the obverse. A boldly appealing Gem proof with a reverse that comes closer to being fully Red.(Registry values: N991)
1871 2C PR66 Red PCGS. CAC. Orange-gold color dominates the obverse, accented with pastel yellow-green at the margins, while the reverse features a distributed mix of the two color palettes. A powerful strike delivers bold definition to the design features, and well preserved surfaces are devoid of significant marks or spots. Population: 11 in 66 Red, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Three Cent Silver
1852 3CS MS66 PCGS. Light golden-gray patina with dappled violet-gray accents on the obverse bathes the lustrous surfaces of this attractive Premium Gem, and a better-than-average strike leaves sharp detail on most of the design elements. We note no marks of consequence. Population: 79 in 66, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1853 3CS MS67 NGC. Fully struck and free of die clash marks, this is a conditionally rare Superb Gem that is one of the finest-certified examples known. A total of 12 pieces have been so graded at NGC and PCGS combined, while none have been seen any finer at either service. The vibrantly lustrous surfaces are free of marks. A series of dark-green toning streaks are noted on the obverse. Census: 8 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1854 3CS MS64 PCGS. Dusky walnut-brown toning blankets this satiny and mark-free near-Gem. Fully struck, without any of the shield waviness characteristic of the series. Struck from moderately clashed dies.(Registry values: N1793)
1854 3CS MS67 ★ NGC. In 1854 the design of the three cent silver piece was modified to include two lines around the obverse star. Also, the metallic composition was changed to .900 silver and .100 copper. Trimes of this style were produced from 1854 through 1858 inclusive, and are referred to as Type or Variety Two. Of all three silver three cent types, the 1854-1858 style is the most difficult to locate. Few Uncirculated pieces were saved, so Mint State examples are quite rare today.
MS67 is the highest grade assigned to an 1854 three cent silver by NGC and PCGS; the two services have graded two Superb Gems each (10/09). The MS67 offering in this lot is the only 1854 given NGC's Star designation. A melange of orange-gold, sky-blue, purple, and crimson covers the obverse, while champagne, violet-purple, lavender, and sky-blue adorns the reverse. A solid strike delivers virtually full definition to the design elements, an unusual attribute for the usually weak Type Two. Immaculately preserved lustrous surfaces round out the coin's delightful eye appeal. Light clash marks are visible on the obverse, as is a spindly crack in the right field.(Registry values: N4719)

1857 3CS MS65 NGC. CAC. A satiny Gem with peach and blue hues on each side. Well struck and carefully preserved with noteworthy eye appeal. Census: 34 in 65, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1862 3CS MS66 PCGS. CAC. This Civil War Premium Gem has mildly prooflike fields and only a hint of tan toning. No marks are visible, and the strike is decidedly above average. PCGS has certified just 11 pieces finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1870 3CS MS66 NGC. Of the 3,000 business strike trimes minted in 1870, many went to the melting pot, and survivors are few today. Cobalt-blue, lavender, yellow-gold, and light green patination graces the lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem. Impeccably preserved surfaces exhibit exquisitely struck design elements. Census: 11 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Three Cent Silver
1858 3CS PR63 PCGS. Medium intensity multicolored toning subdues the reflectivity somewhat. Nicely struck except for incompleteness in the lines of the lower left side of the obverse star. A well cared for three cent silver.(Registry values: N1793)
1859 3CS PR65 PCGS. Deep gold and cobalt-blue are the primary colors of this attractively toned Gem proof. The 1859 is desirable as the first year of issue for the modified Type Three design. Population: 14 in 65, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1864 3CS PR65 Cameo NGC. Because of Civil War era hoarding, very few business-strike 1864 silver three cent pieces were represented in 19th century collections. The date was believed to be a proof only issue until research by R.W. Julian established that 12,000 regular-issue coins were delivered on August 30, 1864, to complement the 470 proofs issued earlier in the year. Even though their survival rate is higher than their business-strike cousins, examples in PR65 Cameo are rare. The present coin is magnificent, with strongly impressed devices contrasting boldly with deeply reflective fields to produce the coveted cameo effect. Census: 4 in 65 Cameo, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1867 3CS PR66 NGC. Richly toned and gorgeous. Green and blue outer bands give way to violet, rose, and silver-white colors at the centers. Carefully preserved beneath the patina. Census: 22 in 66, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1868 3CS PR65 Cameo NGC. Boldly contrasted through a thin layer of gold-tinged toning. This Gem has thickly frosted central devices and impressive mirrors which combine for great eye appeal. Census: 7 in 65 Cameo, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1869 3CS PR67 NGC. Easily one of the best-preserved survivors from this later issue of just 600 proofs. Elegant aqua and green-gold shadings drape the deep mirrors, while the central devices display soft, dusky violet accents. Exquisitely detailed with impressive technical preservation and powerful eye appeal. Census: 8 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1870 3CS PR64 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. Deeply reflective, as always, in spite of the blue and rose toning seen in varying amounts on each side. Die striations are also present in the obverse fields (again, as always seen on this year).
Ex: Chapman brothers, November, 1901 to J.M. Clapp; Clapp Estate, 1942, to Louis Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 879.(Registry values: N991)

1871 3CS PR66 NGC. A flashy specimen with lovely ice-blue, rose-red, and gold toning. Sharply struck aside from the arrows ribbon and selected portions of the shield. Only 960 proofs were struck. Census: 20 in 66, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1873 3CS PR67 ★ NGC. This is one of the finest certified examples from the fateful final year of the three cent silver series, one of several coin series legislated out of existence by the "Crime of '73." The 1873 three cent silver were issued only in proof format, all with the Close 3 date style. Glints of scarlet and ice-blue generously coat both sides of this Superb Gem, which is wonderfully distraction-free. This coin, one of two non-Cameos at this highest certified grade level, would be a super acquisition for last-year-of-type collectors.(Registry values: N4719)
Three Cent Nickels
1869 3CN MS66 NGC. A well struck Premium Gem that boasts ample satiny luster. Peach-gold and nickel-gray shadings consume the smooth surfaces. Census: 14 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1873 3CN Closed 3 MS66 PCGS. Light caramel-gold and olive-gray embraces this lustrous and mark-free Premium Gem. The strike is exacting apart from minor blending on the curls at the base of the bust. An underappreciated issue in Uncirculated grades, and a rarity at the MS66 level. Encased in an old green label holder. Population: 9 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1882 3CN MS67 NGC. Nickel-white surfaces reveal moderately frosted motifs and are devoid of mentionable marks or spots. Sharply struck, except that much of the dentilation is incomplete, somewhat more so on the reverse. Stunning eye appeal. From a relatively low mintage of 22,200 circulation strikes. Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1888 3CN MS67 PCGS. This incredible Superb Gem has amazing design definition, virtually complete on both sides. The surfaces are frosty and highly lustrous with wisps of gold toning over nickel-gray mint brilliance. This ranks near the top of certified examples, and is a beauty for the connoisseur. Population: 33 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Three Cent Nickels
1865 3CN PR64 Cameo PCGS. Bright untoned surfaces with pleasing field-motif contrast greet the observer of this near-Gem proof nickel three cent. A well executed strike leaves virtually full detail on the design elements, falling just slightly short where the lines of the III join the upper crossbars. Close inspection reveals no mentionable marks or spots.(Registry values: N2998)
1867 3CN PR65 Cameo NGC. CAC. This beautiful Gem Cameo proof features fully mirrored fields, satiny devices, and wispy champagne toning over its blue-gray surfaces and bold design motifs. Census: 32 in 65 Cameo, 34 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1873 3CN Closed 3 PR67 Cameo NGC. The white surfaces of this Superb Gem display excellent Cameo contrast and are devoid of of abrasions or flecks. A decisive strike rounds out the coin's captivating eye appeal. One of only two Superb Gem Cameos graded by NGC and PCGS. Neither service has seen any finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1874 3CN PR67 NGC. Delicate gold and iridescent tones grace the deep olive-gray surfaces of this Superb Gem proof. The devices are mildly lustrous, although insufficient for a Cameo designation. However, the aesthetic appeal of this beauty is extremely high, as is its rarity in so fine a grade. Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1876 3CN PR66 PCGS. Soft sky-blue and beige-gold hues are slightly more noticeable on the obverse of this Premium Gem proof. Exquisitely struck, including fullness on the lines of the III. A nicely cared for three cent nickel. Population: 11 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1877 3CN PR66 PCGS. The lowest-mintage of three proof-only three cent nickel issues, the 1877 has an estimated production slightly north of 510 pieces. As a result, high-end specimens such as this Premium Gem are elusive prizes. Attractive green-gold toning drapes most of each side, with the color bolder on the obverse. PCGS has certified just three finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1877 3CN PR66 Cameo NGC. The proof-only 1877 is the key to the three cent nickel series. Sharply struck, frosty design elements stand out against the mirrored fields of this Premium Gem. Nicely preserved surfaces display hints of light gold color.
A small die crack or raised metal is noted on the left side of the base of the second 7. One might wonder if this is an example of what Walter Breen lists as an 1877/6 overdate in his 1988 Encyclopedia. In any event, Kevin Flynn and Edward Fletcher in their 1999 three cent nickel reference present evidence refuting such an overdate. In their 2009 updated reference, they refer to it as a Repunched Date 1877/18 showing the following die markers: small die scratch from the left side of the bottom of the 7, broken top of T of UNITED, and a disconnected leaf above the right ribbon. This example displays these markers.(Registry values: N2998)

1877 3CN PR66 Cameo NGC. This appears to be one of the scarce overdates with repunching visible at the bottom of the 1 and faint traces of a 6 to the left of the final 7. A proof-only date and the key to the series along with the proof 1865. Only 510 proofs were struck. The field-device contrast is stark on each side, but appears more so on the obverse with its near-absence of color. The reverse shows light golden toning. An impressive example of this key issue. Census: 45 in 66 Cameo, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1878 3CN PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. A pinpoint-sharp Premium Gem of this popular proof-only date. Virtually brilliant, and without visible carbon, contact, or strike-throughs. Population: 63 in 66 Cameo, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1878 3CN PR66 Cameo PCGS. A proof-only issue with a mintage of 2,350 coins. Many survivors remain, but mostly in lower grades. This lovely Premium Gem has deeply mirrored fields and lustrous devices with excellent contrast. Vibrant iridescent toning adds to its appeal. Population: 64 in 66 Cameo, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1878 3CN PR67 Cameo NGC. Tied for the finest Cameo proof certified by either NGC or PCGS, this beautiful Superb Gem has exceptional contrast. Both sides are boldly defined with untoned surfaces. The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices are fully lustrous. Census: 27 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1878 3CN PR67 Cameo NGC. Traces of almond-gold visit this predominantly brilliant Superb Gem. Imperfections are elusive even when inspected beneath a loupe. A pinpoint-sharp specimen of a proof-only issue. Census: 27 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1879 3CN PR67 NGC. A medley of pastel yellow-gold, blue, and violet patina runs over the impeccably preserved surfaces of this exquisitely struck Superb Gem. A degree of field-motif contrast is evident at various angles. Census: 61 in 67, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1883 3CN PR67 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The nearly untoned obverse cedes to freckled light gold-tan color on the reverse, and exquisitely struck frosty motifs stand out against the mirrored fields. One tiny obverse graze does not detract. Population: 32 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1885 3CN PR66 Cameo NGC. A distinctly contrasted piece with light nickel-white color overall and occasional hints of gold and green. This charming Premium Gem offers great eye appeal. Census: 16 in 66 Cameo, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1887/6 3CN PR67 NGC. FS-302, previously FS-007. Remnants of the underlying 6 are visible on the lower left side of the 7 and both 8s are repunched. Soft golden-gray and light blue patina covers the obverse while slightly deeper bluish-gray dominates the reverse. Impeccably preserved surfaces exhibit sharply struck design elements. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1889 3CN PR66 Cameo PCGS. The wreath and portrait are frosty, and light variegated sun-gold toning confirms the originality. Fully struck. One small gray fleck to the right of the third pillar. Population: 35 in 66 Cameo, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Shield Nickels
1868 5C MS66 PCGS. Light bluish-violet and champagne-gold patina rests on the lustrous surfaces of this sharply struck Premium Gem. Close inspection reveals no mentionable contacts or flecks. Pleasing overall eye appeal. Population: 25 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1872 5C MS65 NGC. An exquisite, untoned Gem with frosty nickel-gray luster, struck from a shattered obverse die. Shield nickels provide countless possibilities for the variety and die state enthusiast. Census: 32 in 65, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1873 5C Open 3 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Doubled obverse die with slight doubling on the annulet and top leaf groups left and right of the cross. The surfaces are satiny light gray with hints of iridescent toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1876 5C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Blushes of light golden-gray visit this satiny and fully struck Centennial-year Gem. Practically devoid of marks, and housed in an old green label holder. Population: 32 in 65, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1882 5C MS66 NGC. This Premium Gem shows considerable reflectivity on the obverse, but the reverse is satiny. Minimally toned overall with a sharp strike, which is most noticeable on the stars. Census: 57 in 66, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1882 5C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Medium honey-gold enriches this thoroughly lustrous and essentially immaculate Premium Gem. The 882 is lightly repunched. Population: 70 in 66, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1883 5C MS66 ★ NGC. An eye-catching Premium Gem from the final year of the design. The luster is remarkably reflective, bordering on the prooflike, though softness on the leaves and the lower right stars signals this coin's circulation-strike origins.(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Shield Nickels
1867 5C No Rays PR65 Cameo NGC. Reverse IIa. The shield is icy, and the fields are nicely mirrored. Brilliant aside from a brief streak of tan toning on the central reverse. Only 600 proofs were struck. Census: 13 in 65 Cameo, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1871 5C PR65 Cameo PCGS. This fully struck Gem exhibits delicate almond-gold patina, and appears flawless aside from the infrequent peripheral carbon fleck. Population: 17 in 65 Cameo, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1873 5C Closed 3 PR66 PCGS. CAC. This gorgeous Shield nickel displays delicate blue, rose, and gold toning over satiny, reflective surfaces. The devices show bold design details with noticeable contrast. Population: 21 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1875 5C PR66 NGC. Light green-gold color offers an infusion of personality on this strongly reflective Premium Gem proof. Minimally frosted devices lend a modicum of contrast. Census: 22 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1875 5C PR66 NGC. Beautifully detailed for this proof Shield nickel issue with gleaming mirrors. Dramatically, if subtly toned with broad zones of pastel-yellow and sky-blue. Census: 22 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1875 5C PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Light peripheral golden toning confirms the originality of this mirrored and boldly struck Gem. No planchet flaws or hairlines are apparent, even when viewed beneath magnification. Population: 17 in 65 Cameo, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1876 5C PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. Proof Shield nickels from 1876 exist in fair quantities. As David Bowers (2006) indicates, however, some searching is required to locate one with deep mirrors and nice eye appeal. We present such a coin in the present lot. Its mirrored fields highlight the crisply struck, frosty motifs and its untoned surfaces are virtually unimprovable. A highly appealing coin in all respects. Census: 4 in 66 Ultra Cameo, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1877 5C PR64 PCGS. Deep gray surfaces exhibit faint traces of blue and iridescent toning on both sides of this key proof-only Shield nickel. The surfaces have a slight haze as usual on original proofs. While a high percentage of 1877 nickels have survived, they are also in extreme demand.
Ex: B. Max Mehl (12/23/1927), $3.00.(Registry values: N1793)
Ex: B. Max Mehl (12/23/1927), $3.00.(Registry values: N1793)
1878 5C PR65 PCGS. A proof only issue from a mintage of 2,350 coins. This Gem is housed in an older PCGS holder, and like many, has satiny nickel-gray luster rather than the expected proof mirrors. Both sides have tinges of peripheral gold.(Registry values: N991)
1878 5C PR66 Cameo NGC. Nearly every known 1878 Shield nickel, and all 2,350 coins were struck as proofs, has satiny, lustrous surfaces. Pieces such as the present Premium Gem Cameo proof with deeply mirrored fields are extremely rare, and much more highly desired. This early die state piece has remnants of repunching inside the lower loop of the second 8. The surfaces are entirely brilliant, untoned nickel-gray, with lighter gray devices. A remarkable example. Census: 10 in 66 Cameo, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1879 5C PR67 Cameo NGC. This is the variety with a tiny spike at the upper right part of the ball over the date, historically called an 1879/8 overdate, although such a determination is difficult to make. Today, some believe as this cataloger does, that the "1879/8" is merely a repunched date. Regardless, the present Superb Gem Cameo proof is a piece of beauty. It is fully brilliant and untoned, with deeply mirrored fields and excellent contrast via lustrous devices. Pristine surfaces are virtually perfect. Census: 7 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1880 5C PR67 NGC. Boldly defined with light gray surfaces, mirrored fields, and lustrous devices, creating a light cameo appearance. The date is scarce and business strikes are extremely rare, adding demand for the surviving proofs. Census: 31 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1880 5C PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Much more attractive than the average proof Shield nickel, this Premium Gem is sharply struck throughout, with few of the small mint-made irregularities that plague this series, save for a partial wire rim on the right side of the reverse. Opaque green-gold patina graces much of each side. Population: 63 in 66 Cameo, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1882 5C PR66 Cameo PCGS. A brilliant and untoned Premium Gem, this lovely nickel has excellent contrast and wonderful eye appeal. Population: 60 in 66 Cameo, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1882 5C PR66 Cameo PCGS. Evenly frosted legends and devices contrast favorably with the flashy fields. Intricately struck and exquisite. A few tiny lintmarks near the right-side rims are of mint origin.(Registry values: N1793)
Liberty Nickels
1883 5C No Cents MS67 NGC. The nickel-white surfaces of this Superb Gem are devoid of mentionable marks and exhibit sharply struck devices. Frosty luster embraces each side, becoming somewhat thicker on the motifs. Census: 51 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1883 5C With Cents MS66 NGC. This strongly lustrous example, well-defined at the centers with slight softness at a few of the stars, has traces of rose, peach, and orange toning at the margins. The With Cents nickels are far scarcer so fine than their No Cents counterparts. Census: 35 in 66, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1884 5C MS65 NGC. A boldly struck and moderately prooflike Gem that has minimal toning and no obvious marks. The obverse field is particularly flashy. Census: 63 in 65, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1886 5C MS61 NGC. A lustrous representative that exhibits pastel ice-blue and rose-red toning. Shallow strike-throughs (as made) limit the grade. Among business strikes, only the 1885 and the 1912-S have lower mintages.(Registry values: N991)
1886 5C MS63 PCGS. Sharply struck with pale gray-gold surfaces and splashes of deeper gold toning. This pleasing piece represents an elusive issue in Mint State grades.(Registry values: N1793)
1893 5C MS66 PCGS. Sharply defined in all areas except the lower left part of the wreath, although the ear of corn shows slight detail. The surfaces of this Premium Gem are excellent, with frosty and brilliant light gray luster. Faint champagne toning is evident upon close examination. Population: 14 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1894 5C MS67 NGC. A scarcer issue from the fourth lowest mintage of any Liberty nickel coined for circulation. Only 1885, 1886, and 1912-S have lower mintages. This sharply detailed piece has brilliant, frosty luster with deep gray surfaces that provide a background for pleasing gold and iridescent toning. Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1896 5C MS66 NGC. Brilliant and frosty surfaces host splendid gold toning on this sharply struck 1896 nickel. The 1896 is one of the scarcest dates in the entire series, especially in Gem or finer grades. This is an exceptional and aesthetically desirable specimen. Census: 4 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1904 5C MS66 PCGS. CAC. For some reason the 1904 Liberty nickel seems more elusive in Gem or Premium Gem grades than most other dates in the 1900s. This example has brilliant blue luster with full mint frost. Population: 66 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1904 5C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Dazzling luster and a nearly pristine appearance ensure the immense quality of this conditionally scarce Premium Gem. Lightly clashed near the neck curls, and on the opposite portion of the wreath. Population: 66 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1906 5C MS66 NGC. Potent luster sweeps the immaculate fields and devices of this lovely Premium Gem. Light tan toning is apparent, particularly near the rims. Census: 5 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1912-D 5C MS65 NGC. CAC. In 1912, the only branch mint issues of this design were produced at Denver and at San Francisco. This Denver Mint example has the usual central weakness and typical satiny luster. The surfaces are attractive with vibrant gold and lilac color. NGC has only certified 27 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1912-S 5C MS64 PCGS. One of three keys to the always-popular Liberty nickel series with a mintage of only 238,000 pieces. This issue is invariably seen with satiny mint luster rather than the frosted variant that one usually sees from San Francisco. The surfaces on this piece are sharp throughout and covered with light, iridescent toning. A couple of flecks of carbon and tiny planchet flakes are apparently enough to keep this coin from the Gem category.(Registry values: N1793)
1912-S 5C MS65 PCGS. The 1912-S Liberty Head nickel boasts the lowest mintage of the series with only 238,000 pieces struck. Its popularity is increased by the fact that it is the only Liberty Head nickel from the San Francisco Mint. The example is sharply struck, and shows deeper shadings of golden-champagne and olive toning over nearly unblemished surfaces. Population: 86 in 65, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Liberty Nickels
1885 5C PR66 PCGS. A thin layer of light gold-orange patina with violet accents resides over each side of this Premium Gem. Sharply struck, moderately frosted motifs display a degree of contrast with the fields. Devoid of mentionable marks or spots. Population: 97 in 66, 16 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1885 5C PR65 Cameo NGC. The rarity of the business-strike 1885 puts added pressure on high-end proof examples such as this Gem Cameo. Frosty, exceptionally well struck motifs stand out against the reflective fields. Well preserved surfaces display soft champagne-gold color with violet accents. Great overall eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
1885 5C PR66 Cameo NGC. A lovely layer of frost covers the devices, which show excellent cameo contrast against the highly reflective fields. The strike is full, as one would expect from a proof. A couple of faint marks are located in the lower right reverse field and a minor reverse rim bruise is visible at 5:00. Proof 1885 nickels are especially desirable due to the scarcity of their business strike counterparts. Census: 27 in 66 Cameo, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1886 5C PR66 NGC. Soft sky-blue, yellow-gold, and lavender patina adheres to the well preserved surfaces of this lovely Premium Gem. A decisive strike emboldens the design elements.(Registry values: N991)
1890 5C PR66 Cameo NGC. A stunning Premium Gem with pale olive-gold and blue toning over deeply mirrored light gray fields, the devices lustrous and deeper gray. Census: 18 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1891 5C PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. A brilliant Premium Gem with spectacular black-and-white cameo contrast between the powerfully mirrored fields and icy-frosted devices. Careful inspection under magnification reveals only a few tiny marks and flyspecks. Just 2,350 proofs were struck. Census: 2 in 66 Ultra Cameo, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1893 5C PR68 ★ NGC. NGC and PCGS have graded a few hundred 1893 nickels, none of which match the elegant quality of this PR68 with the Star designation. Variegated pastels of yellow, rose, violet, green, and orange grace each side, and an exacting strike imparts exquisite detail to the design features. Immaculate preservation characterizes both faces. Census: 1 in 68 ★ , 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1909 5C PR66 ★ Cameo NGC. This untoned and smooth Premium Gem is sharply struck aside from the tell-tale left ear of corn. The white on black obverse approaches an Ultra Cameo designation, and the reverse also exhibits obvious contrast. Census: 5 in 66 ★ Cameo, 6 finer as Cameo with a Star designation (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1910 5C PR67 NGC. An impressive display of iridescent album toning accents the deeply mirrored fields and lustrous devices of this Superb Gem. Census: 45 in 67, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Buffalo Nickels
1913 5C Type One MS67 NGC. CAC. A remarkable Type One Buffalo nickel with frosty luster beneath amazing magenta, sea-green, and gold toning. NGC has only certified 12 pieces finer than this Superb Gem (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1913-S 5C Type One MS66 PCGS. A satiny and beautiful Premium Gem with gold-green patina across parts of the otherwise nickel-white devices. Strong overall detail, though the bison's shoulder is a trifle soft.(Registry values: N1793)
1913-S 5C Type Two MS64 NGC. Orange-gold and olive patina bathes this shimmering and unmarked near-Gem. The date and mintmark are sharp, while the tail and the hair above the braid show expected incompleteness. A popular low mintage issue, and a better value in Mint State than in circulated grades.(Registry values: N1793)
1914-D 5C MS66 NGC. Luminous gold, violet, and nickel-gray surfaces are attractively preserved. Though this Premium Gem shows slight striking softness at the high points, the overall eye appeal is impressive. Census: 13 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1917-S 5C MS65 PCGS. Beneath the emerald, gold, violet, and iridescent toning is a sharply struck and highly lustrous 1917-S Buffalo nickel. This is a conditionally scarce issue in a highly popular series, and it should see a flurry of activity at the sale. Population: 77 in 65, 22 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1918/7-D 5C Good 4 ANACS. FS-101, formerly FS-016.5. This unblemished stone-gray key date nickel has clear legends with the exception of the date. The tiny loops of the 8 and the thickness of its downstroke indicates the presence of an underdigit 7.(Registry values: N1)
1919-S 5C MS64 NGC. Soft multicolored toning bathes the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem. The design elements are typically struck in that weakness shows on the obverse center as well as on the hair on the bison's head. Both sides are devoid of mentionable contact marks or spots. This issue is difficult to acquire any finer.(Registry values: N2998)
1919-S 5C MS64 NGC. The 1919-S Buffalo nickel is an available issue, with a reported mintage of 7.5 million pieces. The issue becomes scarce at the Near-Gem level, and specimens in MS65 or better are rare. The present coin shows the obverse weakness always seen on the issue, but the reverse strike is better than average. Attractive shades of lilac and rose toning highlight the flawless fields.(Registry values: N2998)
1919-S 5C MS64 NGC. Fully defined 1919-S nickels are nearly unknown, they being one of the great strike challenges of the Buffalo nickel series. This near-Gem displays weakness in the outer parts of LIBERTY and on the hair of the bison's head. The remaining elements actually reveal rather good detail. Light gray patina accented with lavender and yellow-green bathes the lustrous surfaces that have been well cared for. NGC has seen only 21 higher-grade specimens.(Registry values: N2998)
1920 5C MS66 PCGS. CAC. A medley of sky-blue, gold, orange, and violet patination bathes the radiantly lustrous surfaces that exhibit impeccable preservation. A well executed strike delivers sharp detail to the design features. Difficult to locate any finer.(Registry values: N1793)
1920-S 5C MS64 PCGS. This Choice Mint State 1920-S Buffalo nickel is an exceptional example with brilliant, satin gray luster and pale gold toning on both sides. Traces or iridescence remain. The strike is less than full, but it is clearly better than usual. An important opportunity for the specialist. Population: 236 in 64, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1920-S 5C MS64 NGC. Shades of golden-rose greet the viewer on both sides of this lustrous near-Gem coin. Gem examples of this issue are quite rare. This piece shows few contact marks, but the strike on the reverse, in particular, is typically weak. Nonetheless, the generous luster and well-preserved surfaces should make this piece an attractive acquisition. NGC has certified only 16 coins finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1921-S 5C XF45 PCGS. Light gray surfaces display traces of luster in the recesses and are minimally marked. Sharply defined on the devices. The '21-S is one of the most difficult Buffalo nickel issues.(Registry values: N991)
1921-S 5C AU58 ANACS. Luminous coffee-gold color drapes each side of this attractive S-mint Buffalo nickel, minimally marked with just a touch of friction on the high points. Solidly struck with eye appeal to match.(Registry values: N1793)
1923-S 5C MS65 NGC. The 1923-S can be located with some difficulty through near-Gem, but becomes quite challenging in MS65. Higher grade pieces are nearly unobtainable. Light golden-gray patina resides on the lustrous surfaces of this Gem. Generally well struck and revealing no mentionable blemishes. Census: 29 in 65, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1924-D 5C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Pleasing gray-gold toning subdues the frosty luster of this Choice Mint State piece. Both sides are pleasing with only a few trivial marks. The strike is strong on the obverse and somewhat weaker on the reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1924-S 5C XF40 PCGS. Light to medium intensity lilac-gray and gold-beige patina resides on both sides of this low-mintage scarce date representative. Nicely defined, with no more marks than what might be expected for a coin having seen light circulation.(Registry values: N1793)
1925 5C MS67 PCGS. A sharp striking impression on the reverse fully outlines Fraser's famous design, including the more subtle aspects of the bison's head, hair, and face. The obverse is boldly detailed if not quite as razor-sharp, with more typical softness noted on the Indian's hair detail. The surfaces are impeccably preserved, however, and display remarkable shimmering luster, along with appealing golden-gray coloration. Population: 7 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1925-D 5C MS64 PCGS. Soft violet and gold patination bathes the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem. Typically seen minor strike softness is evident in the Indian's and bison's head hair. Nicely preserved.(Registry values: N1793)
1925-S 5C MS62 NGC. Pastel powder-blue and gold patina invigorates this lustrous and unmarked branch mint Buffalo nickel. The mintmark is distinct, unlike sometimes seen on this scarce branch mint issue. Die wear creates an orange peel effect near the rims, as made.(Registry values: N991)
1928-S 5C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Vibrant gold and iridescent toning masks the satiny luster of this sharply struck Buffalo nickel. A few minuscule carbon flecks are evident on each side. PCGS has certified 69 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1928-S 5C MS66 NGC. A delightful Premium Gem, this 1928-S Buffalo nickel exhibits full satiny mint brilliance with exceptional design details. Both sides have lovely blue and lilac at the centers, surrounded by a frame of light yellow toning. Census: 8 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1929-S 5C MS67 NGC. A remarkable Superb Gem representative of this San Francisco Buffalo nickel issue, pleasingly lustrous beneath striking gold, blue, and peach toning. Slight softness of strike is noted in the centers, but the bison's horn is sharp. Tied for numerically finest known to NGC or PCGS (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1936-D/S 5C MS64 PCGS. FS-511, formerly FS-019.8. As stated in the Cherrypickers' Guide: "This variety, first reported by Bill Fivaz, has received a fairly large amount of publicity, yet few have been found." This near-Gem is an attractive and higher-end example, well struck and lustrous with light golden toning overall. A spot of deeper color is present on the rim to the left of the word LIBERTY.
1937-D 5C Three-Legged VF25 PCGS. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2. This popular variety has pleasing light gray surfaces overall that are outlined in deeper russet-gray patina. The remaining detail is consistent for the grade, perhaps even above-average. A few small contact marks and shallow, short scratches are noted on the bison.(Registry values: N991)
1937-D 5C Three-Legged AU53 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2. This lightly circulated example is free of severe marks and reveals mostly gunmetal-gray color on both sides. A famous Buffalo nickel variety that is desired by every collector of this immensely popular series.(Registry values: N991)
1937-D 5C Three-Legged AU53 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2. Light to medium gray patina in the fields and interstices highlight the lighter relief features. Well defined and minimally marked.(Registry values: N991)
1937-D 5C Three-Legged AU58 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2. A nicely struck and lustrous example with only slight wear on the high points as usual for this issue. The Three-Legged Buffalo nickels remained in circulation until the variety was discovered, so the majority of these coins are worn to some degree.(Registry values: N991)
1937-D 5C Three-Legged AU58 NGC. CAC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2. A tan-gray key date nickel with minimal wear on the bison's hipbone and on the tip of the tail. Impressively free from abrasions, and all diagnostics of this popular variety are readily evident.(Registry values: N991)
1937-D 5C Three-Legged AU58 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2. The light gray surfaces of this three-legged variety retain a good amount of luster and are remarkably clean. Strong detail shows on the design elements.(Registry values: N991)
1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS66 ★ NGC. CAC. This is an incredible 1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo nickel. The story of the Three-Legged Buffalo is the oft told story of a Mint workman who was overzealous when polishing the reverse die to remove clash marks or other defects. He went so far that he removed the bottom half of the right front leg.
This Star designated Premium Gem has satiny luster with attractively intermingled turquoise, amber, and violet toning on both sides. The strike is well above average, and the overall desirability is amazing. NGC has certified two examples as MS66 ★ , one other as MS67, and one as MS67 ★ (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
This Star designated Premium Gem has satiny luster with attractively intermingled turquoise, amber, and violet toning on both sides. The strike is well above average, and the overall desirability is amazing. NGC has certified two examples as MS66 ★ , one other as MS67, and one as MS67 ★ (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1937-S 5C MS67 PCGS. Powder-blue, canary-gold, and lime shades encompass this lustrous and well struck branch mint Superb Gem. None have been certified finer by PCGS (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1938-D 5C MS68 ★ NGC. The first Buffalo nickels were coined in 1913, and for 26 years it was a popular and well-liked design. This coin, struck in the 26th year of production, represents the final issue of the design. The new Jefferson nickel design by Felix Schlag made its debut and was on the way to a long production run that is still current today. The '38-D Buffalo that we are offering here is highly attractive with frosty luster and a delightful blend of pale rose, gold, and mint-green toning. The design features are sharp, with a full braid on the obverse and full details on the reverse with no surface distractions. The NGC Census records 15 examples in MS68 with seven of those that have received the coveted MS68 ★ designation (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1938-D/S 5C MS67 PCGS. FS-511, formerly FS-20.5. OMM-1. Any Buffalo nickel specialist will inform you that there are several 1938-D/S varieties, but this is the most important one, which shows the undermintmark S above and to the left of the prominent D. A lustrous Superb Gem with medium gold toning, a sharp strike, and one tiny gray spot on each side.(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Buffalo Nickels
1913 5C Type One PR65 PCGS. CAC. A meticulously struck Gem with satin luster and outstanding eye appeal. Essentially as made save for light tan toning, a few microscopic flecks on the lower obverse, and one small spot on the N in UNUM. The sole year for the design subtype, since mint officials worried that FIVE CENTS would wear too quickly in circulation.(Registry values: N2998)
1914 5C PR63 PCGS. A boldly defined matte proof with satiny surfaces and gold toning sprinkled over the light gray surfaces. Myriad tiny freckles limit the grade.(Registry values: N991)
1914 5C PR65 PCGS. CAC. Caramel-gold and stone-gray adorn this satiny and fully struck Gem. Perfect aside from infrequent microscopic carbon. A pleasing example of this scarce early proof date.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 5C PR65 PCGS. Beautifully toned in variegated orange streaks. The strike is razor-sharp, and both sides appear pristine save for a nearly imperceptible spot on a headdress feather.(Registry values: N1793)
1915 5C PR64 PCGS. This is a brilliant matte proof with the expected, but still surprising, completeness of detail on each side. Magnification shows this to be an upper-end example for a PR64.(Registry values: N991)
1936 5C Type One--Satin Finish PR68 PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. This incredible example has stunning nickel-blue surfaces with lovely pale rose toning on each side. The surfaces are fully brilliant with the satin finish that creates a beautiful proof nickel. Only a few can equal the quality of this nickel, and NGC and PCGS have combined to grade just one finer coin. Population: 27 in 68, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1937 5C --Environmental Damage--NGC. Proof. Both sides of this piece are peppered with tiny black carbon spots. However, it has amazing iridescent toning with a complete absence of hairlines or other imperfections.(Registry values: N1)
1937 5C PR65 NGC. Apricot-gold and cream-gray shades dominate this crisply struck Gem. The fields are more satiny than reflective. A glass reveals a few pinpoint flecks. Encased in a prior generation holder.(Registry values: N991)
1937 5C PR66 PCGS. CAC. A pastel-toned specimen with darkly reflective fields and luminous devices. The strike is bold despite minor blending on the hair above the braid. The final year of the proof type, although a business issue was coined at Denver in 1938.(Registry values: N1793)
1937 5C PR67 ★ NGC. The deeply mirrored field area of this Superb Gem proof, a characteristic of the issue, offers mild variance with the motifs. Pastel violet, yellow-gold, and lilac reside on each side and a solid strike leaves bold detail on the design features. A few tiny flecks are only visible under high magnification. Impressive overall eye appeal highly deserving of the Star designation. Census: 17 in 67 ★ , 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1937 5C PR67 PCGS. CAC. A near-pristine Superb Gem of the last proof Buffalo nickel issue with deeply mirrored fields and exquisitely detailed design elements. Delicate steel-blue and rose-apricot shadings grace the gleaming surfaces. Struck from moderately rotated dies and housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
Jefferson Nickels
1953-S 5C MS64 Full Steps PCGS. Bright luster invigorates this near-Gem that displays a barely discernible veneer of champagne-gold color. This Full Step specimen is better defined on the remaining design features than typically seen, despite evidence of incipient die wear. A few minuscule marks preclude Gem status, but still a very appealing coin. Population: 15 in 64 Full Steps, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
Proof Jefferson Nickels
1952 5C PR68 Cameo PCGS. A stunning Superb Gem Cameo proof with brilliant and untoned nickel-gray color. Both sides have incredibly deep mirrored fields and satiny devices. Population: 13 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N208)
Early Half Dimes
1794 H10C --Mount Removed--NGC. Fine Details. V-4, LM-4, R.4. This is the most plentiful of four varieties, and it was struck in 1795 as were all 1794-dated half dimes. The obverse has evidence of solder at the center, and both sides have minor old scratches.(Registry values: P6)
1794 H10C --Plugged, Repaired--ICG. AU 50 Details. V-3, LM-3, R.4. The die pair is easily distinguished by the reverse, which has the lowest leaf to the left away from the center of the U in UNITED and two berries parallel to the I in UNITED. The plug mentioned is in the area of BER at the top of the obverse. Curiously, pinscratching is also seen in the same area, implying after the hole was plugged, the coin was then scratched. Also lightly cleaned with dense golden-gray toning over each side and blue accents at the margins.(Registry values: P6)
1796 H10C XF40 ANACS. V-1, LM-1, R.3. Powder-blue tints illuminate this well defined representative. A few faint thin marks on the obverse field, but much satin luster shimmers from design recesses. The Draped Bust, Small Eagle type was only coined in 1796 and 1797. Encased in an old ANA cache holder.(Registry values: P7)
1800 H10C --Damaged--ANACS. XF40 Details. V-1, LM-1, R.3. The large 8 and evenly spaced date are diagnostic, and the B in LIBERTY is perfectly formed. A leaf is joined to the third A in AMERICA. This well-detailed piece has lovely gunmetal-gray patina with lighter accents on the high points. A few hairlines in the fields and a couple of shallow marks are barely noticeable at first glace. The surfaces are wavy, with the appearance that it was bent and straightened.(Registry values: P5)
1803 H10C Large 8 VF30 PCGS. V-2, LM-3, R.3. The point of a leaf touches the right foot of the I in AMERICA. Gunmetal-gray and pearl-gray colors alternate across this richly detailed early type coin. A faint pinscratch is observed on Liberty's bust truncation. Population: 11 in 30, 44 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P7)
1805 H10C --Corroded, Cleaned--ANACS. XF40 Details. V-1, LM-1, R.4. A granular and somewhat bright example of this difficult early Draped Bust date. Just a single die marriage is known, and only one survivor has been certified as Mint State by either NGC or PCGS. The present piece is well detailed aside from striking softness on the right (facing) wingtip. The central reverse has a couple of minor pinscratches.(Registry values: P7)
Bust Half Dimes
1832 H10C MS64 PCGS. V-8, LM-5, R.1. Stars 6 and 7 are closely spaced and star 7 points to the center of a dentil. The reverse is identified by the right foot of the R slightly above the base of the I in AMERICA. Sky-blue and soft reddish-orange patina resides on the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem. Well struck and nicely preserved.(Registry values: N1793)
1832 H10C MS67 ★ NGC. V-1, LM-3, R.1. Star 12 on the obverse is recut, and on the reverse an arrowhead touches the last A of AMERICA. The top flag of the 5 is a blunt, short triangle, and there is no recutting on the O of OF. Although this is an available variety, the present piece is numerically tied for the finest certified of the date at NGC, and the only MS67 coin given the well-deserved Star designation. This is a stunning piece that clearly boasts original "skin" from the 177 years since its production. The glorious, mark-free pinkish-gold central obverse is surrounded by lavish, iridescent cobalt-blue, with the reverse equally compelling but lacking the blue periphery. The strike is bold throughout, and a nicer example can scarcely be imagined. A wonderful type coin or a prize for the Bust half dime specialist.(Registry values: N4719)
1835 H10C Large Date, Small 5C MS64 NGC. V-10, LM-5, R.3. Dusky golden-brown and apple-green toning blankets this satiny and unmarked near-Gem. Evenly struck, and a significant example of this scarcer die pairing.(Registry values: P1)
Seated Half Dimes
1837 H10C No Stars, Large Date (Curl Top 1) MS64 PCGS. Golden-brown and jade-green with a full strike and only a single thin vertical mark on the right obverse field. Although the No Stars design was struck for two years, the 1838-O is scarce, placing type demand on the 1837.(Registry values: N1793)
1837 H10C No Stars, Large Date (Curl Top 1) MS64 PCGS. CAC. A gorgeous near-Gem example of this popular first-year Seated dime variant. Silver-gray and green-gold surfaces show small spots of deeper color on the reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1837 H10C No Stars, Large Date (Curl Top 1) MS67 NGC. Distinguished from the Small Date by the shape of the 1 which has a curled tall peak and is narrow. Cobalt-blue at the peripheries and golden-tan and lavender in the centers enliven this Superb Gem. Lustrous impeccably preserved surfaces and well defined devices round out the coin's pleasing eye appeal. Census: 16 in 67, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1838-O H10C No Stars MS62 NGC. The No Stars design features Liberty seated in a plain field with the date below. This design was coined only in Philadelphia in 1837, and only in New Orleans in 1838. Mint State examples of the 1838-O are rare. The present specimen is fully lustrous with satiny surfaces beneath iridescent toning. Census: 3 in 62, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1838 H10C Small Stars MS66 NGC. Impressively lustrous with dappled golden-tan and pale silver-gray color over the obverse. The reverse shows more variety in the toning, with elements of orange and violet also present. Well struck, though a shallow post-striking flaw is present in the field adjacent to star 10.
Ex: Eliasberg (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 947.(Registry values: P6)
Ex: Eliasberg (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 947.(Registry values: P6)
1844 H10C MS66 PCGS. Elegant ultramarine and aqua toning embraces much of each side, though pale pearl-gray color peeks through in places. Strongly lustrous beneath the toning with a crisp strike.(Registry values: N1793)
1844 H10C MS66 PCGS. A well-defined and beautifully lustrous Premium Gem. Light silver-gray color gives way to blue, violet, and lavender elements at parts of the margins. Population: 18 in 66, 9 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1844 H10C MS67 NGC. The 1844 half dime is scarce in all grades and rare in the lofty grade of MS67, where only 11 examples have been certified by the combined forces of NGC and PCGS (10/09). Pastel cobalt-blue, lilac, and yellow-gold patination resides on lustrous surfaces, with slightly deeper hues on the reverse. Sharply struck, as typically seen, and devoid of mentionable marks. The 1 and first 4 in the date are lightly repunched.(Registry values: N2998)
1845 H10C Repunched Date MS64 PCGS. CAC. FS-302. All four digits are boldly repunched, leading an older generation of collectors to call this an 1845/3 overdate. Fivaz and Stanton estimate a surviving population of only 32 to 64 examples, and few of those are as fine as this Choice Mint State example. It has frosty silver luster and light champagne toning. Population: 1 in 64, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1846 H10C XF45 PCGS. Luminous gold-gray surfaces show occasional elements of peach. A well struck piece, minimally abraded with only modest wear across the highest design elements. This issue's mintage of just 27,000 pieces, combined with a low survival rate, makes it a condition rarity even at the Choice XF level. Population: 3 in 45, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1848 H10C Medium Date MS66 NGC. Ex: Sweet Collection. The late Al Blythe made a detailed study of Seated half dimes and published his reference on the series in 1992. He showed a masterful grasp of the Medium Date 1848, and his description perfectly describes this piece:
This is the finest example certified and was formerly in the famous Sweet Collection. The surfaces are highly lustrous and there is no trace of toning on either side. A rim-to-rim die crack traverses the reverse.(Registry values: N1)
"The V-3 though a medium date has all numbers touching the base and is a little weakly struck with weakness at the head, toe and shield. Date is boldly punched, and the obverse dentils lack definition at 10 o'clock. The pendant is lined up between the 4 and 8, but closer to the 4, and the shield points to the top of the 1. The reverse may show some weakness in the wreath and the ribbon ends of the bow."
This is the finest example certified and was formerly in the famous Sweet Collection. The surfaces are highly lustrous and there is no trace of toning on either side. A rim-to-rim die crack traverses the reverse.(Registry values: N1)
1849 H10C MS67 ★ NGC. V-2. A tiny die defect connects the top and bottom parts of the 6, and there is a tiny, dotlike die defect between stars 10 and 11. On the reverse, a small die crack runs from the lower rim, upward through the olive branch stem and lower leaf quadruplet, to the right side of (DI)M(E). The major die cracks Valentine mentions are unseen, but other slight ones are present, especially over the F in OF and the R in AMERICA. This leads us to believe this is an early-die state coin. Indeed, the appearance is fresh throughout, with marvelous ice-blue and rose patina, a bold, nearly full strike, and no visible contact. A piece justly deserving the NGC Star rating. This coin, freshly graded at NGC, is the only MS67 ★ coin, with one MS68 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1850 H10C MS65 NGC. Splashes of aqua-blue and lavender adorn the lustrous surfaces of this delightful Gem. Uniformly impressed and minimally abraded.(Registry values: N1793)
1851 H10C MS65 PCGS. Light to medium intensity multicolored toning runs over both sides of this well struck Gem. Nicely preserved throughout. Population: 11 in 65, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1851-O H10C MS64 NGC. V-2, with 181 touching the base of the rock. The '51-O has a rather high mintage of 860,000 pieces, but apparently a number of Uncirculated pieces were saved, mostly lower grades. This is a deeply toned example that shows the usually expected softness on the head and foot of Liberty. Census: 17 in 64, 19 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1852-O H10C MS65 Prooflike NGC. CAC. The 1852-O half dime is generally found in low grades, and is very scarce in Choice XF and finer. This is a lovely Gem that has deep blue, purple, and orange-gold toning at the obverse border that turns golden-gray in the center, while lighter gold-orange surrounds the brilliance in the center of the reverse. The fields are bright and highly reflective, shining forcefully through the multiple layers of color on the obverse especially. Sharply struck except for the usual weakness on Liberty's head. Well preserved throughout. Census: 6 in 65 Prooflike, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1852-O H10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. From a mintage of 260,000 pieces, but much scarcer than the production would indicate. As one might expect, New Orleans silver coins are quite scarce in Uncirculated grades, as most entered the channels of commerce and stayed there. Even the modest half dime had few high grade survivors. This piece shows an extraordinary strike and is complemented by brightly reflective surfaces under vibrant tones of lilac and gold. The sharply detailed devices float on watery, prooflike fields and provide a distinct element of contrast. Population: 3 in 65, 1 finer (1/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1853 H10C Arrows MS66 NGC. Lustrous white surfaces display just the slightest hint of gold color on the obverse. Sharply struck, and lacking noticeable marks. The surfaces have a scaly appearance at the peripheries, especially on the reverse, from well worn coinage dies. Census: 50 in 66, 19 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1853 H10C Arrows MS67 NGC. A razor-sharp and lustrous example, lavishly toned in sea-green and lilac. Clash marks, as made and often found on pieces from this era, appear in the fields. The Arrows type was struck between 1853 and 1855. Unlike the quarter and half dollar, no rays were placed on the reverse for the 1853 Arrows issue. More than 13 million pieces were struck, the largest production of the series, necessary to replace the hoarded old tenor silver coins. Coins are rare at the MS67 level, and the issue is popular as a three-year type. Census: 19 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1854-O H10C Arrows MS64 PCGS. Peach and rose peripheral elements give way to silver-gray centers on this lustrous near-Gem. The strike is as strong as the eye appeal. Population: 8 in 64, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1857 H10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Pleasing golden-brown and sea-green toning augments the eye appeal of this lustrous and solidly struck Seated half dime. Magnification reveals a few delicate field marks. Population: 64 in 65, 21 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1857-O H10C MS66 NGC. A hint of golden patina denies full brilliance, but the powerful mint luster and needle-sharp strike confirm the quality. Gorgeously preserved, and essentially perfect despite the handful of pieces certified finer by the major services. Struck from clashed dies. Census: 23 in 66, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1857-O H10C MS67 NGC. This is an absolutely stunning piece, with frosty silver luster, pristine surfaces, and sharp design motifs. New Orleans Mint coins from the mid-1800s are seldom seen in such remarkable condition. This is only the third Superb Gem 1857-O we have handled, the other two including one PCGS coin and one NGC specimen. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1859 H10C MS67 ★ NGC. CAC. NGC has seen fit to grant the Star designation to only two 1859 half dimes--the present Superb Gem and one other MS67. Splashes of cobalt-blue, lavender, and golden-tan patination adorns the impeccably preserved lustrous surfaces. The design detail is complete save for minor softness in the last three stars. Magnificent overall eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
1860 H10C Transitional MS65 PCGS. Judd-267, Pollock-315, R.4. This curious rarity is collected as a pattern by some, and as a Seated half dime by others. It is listed on page 140 of the 2010 Guide Book as part of the Seated series. It mules Paquet's hollow star obverse subtype with the "cereal" wreath reverse of 1860, a design combination that lacks UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The brilliant centers are framed by lemon-gold, rose-red, and blue-green borders. The strike is typical, but the preservation is outstanding. Population: 6 in 65, 11 finer (10/09).
1860 H10C MS66 NGC. Faint blue hues visit satiny surfaces that are otherwise pale silver-gray. This well-defined Premium Gem would make a great addition to a similarly graded type or date collection. Census: 60 in 66, 28 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1860 H10C MS67 NGC. First year of the redesigned obverse and reverse. On the obverse, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA replaces the 13 stars, and on the reverse a "wreath of cereals" replaces the simple laurel wreath and peripheral legend. The lustrous surface of this Superb Gem display electric-blue, purple, and gold-orange at the borders, along with sharply struck devices. Nicely preserved throughout. Census: 21 in 67, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1863-S H10C MS63 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. Usually seen in circulated grades because of the extensive use of the denomination in the channels of commerce. This piece has dusky gray patina over each side with an outline of russet around the devices. Sharply struck.
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1016.(Registry values: N1793)
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1016.(Registry values: N1793)
1868-S H10C MS65 PCGS. The 1868-S half dime is a better date, especially in high grade. Al Blythe (1992) assigns it an R.4 rarity rating in Mint State. Light silver-tan color adorns the lustrous surfaces of this Gem example and a well executed strike imparts strong detail to the design elements. Nicely preserved. Population: 9 in 65, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1872-S H10C Mintmark Below Bow MS66 PCGS. An amazing Premium Gem, scarcely seen so fine and seldom nicer. This piece is fully brilliant and untoned, with frosty silver luster. It is sharply struck and the obverse fields are mildly reflective. Population: 41 in 66, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Seated Half Dimes
1852 H10C PR64 Cameo NGC. Proof coins from the early 1850s are all rare, and 1852 is one of the rarest dates of the decade. This lovely Cameo proof has excellent contrast between the fields and devices. Heavy vertical and diagonal die polishing lines are evident in the fields on both sides. The devices are brilliant and lustrous, with bright mint frost. Both sides are entirely untoned, showing their silver-white brilliance to its best advantage.
This piece is similar in quality to the Phil Kaufman coin that we sold in July 2008, although it is a different coin. This is only the seventh appearance of a proof 1852 half dime in any of our sales since 1993, from a total estimated population of eight or nine coins. Census: 2 in 64 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)

Census: 2 in 64 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1856 H10C PR65 NGC. The exact number of half dime proofs minted in 1856 is unknown, though Walter Breen in his Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins says there are "possibly 30 to 40 around." NGC and PCGS population figures more or less seem to corroborate Breen's estimate, as the two services have graded about 30 examples.
Deep bluish-purple toning dominates both sides of this Gem specimen, accented with orange, crimson, and yellow-gold. The strike if full, and both faces are nicely preserved. Census: 5 in 65, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
Deep bluish-purple toning dominates both sides of this Gem specimen, accented with orange, crimson, and yellow-gold. The strike if full, and both faces are nicely preserved. Census: 5 in 65, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1862 H10C PR67 NGC. Only 625 proof half dimes were made of this issue, along with a stingy 8,000 circulation strikes, which are scarce in all grades. This piece has deep, multicolored patina over each side, a full strike as expected, and is essentially contact-free. One of six in this grade at NGC, with three numerically finer including one Cameo piece (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1867 H10C PR66 NGC. CAC. A beautiful Premium Gem proof with outstanding iridescent toning on both sides. Bold contrast is evident beneath the toning. The 1867 is rare as a business strike, placing extra emphasis on the surviving proofs. Census: 34 in 66, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1868 H10C PR66 NGC. A gorgeous Premium Gem proof with splashes of gold, turquoise, and iridescent toning on both sides. The fields are fully mirrored around lustrous devices, creating an excellent cameo appearance, though this is not reflected in the grade on the holder. Census: 15 in 66, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1868 H10C PR66 Cameo NGC. The elusive nature of the business strikes, made to the extent of only 88,600 coins, requires the 600 proofs made to serve double duty. The silver-white centers on this coin are surrounded by a ring of golden-amber on each side, and the considerable field-device contrast further contributes to the appeal of near-pristine surfaces. Census: 4 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1872 H10C PR67 Cameo NGC. Only 950 proofs were struck of this late-date issue. This Superb Gem Cameo is one of the four finest certified by NGC and PCGS. Deep gunmetal-blue, gold-orange, and lavender toning clings to the margins, framing the lighter yellow-gold centers. Sharply struck, frosty design elements stand out amidst the mirrored fields of this impeccably preserved piece.(Registry values: P1)
1873 H10C PR65 Cameo NGC. An untoned example with a good strike and noticeable white-on-black contrast. The fields display faint clashmarks. The end of the road for the half dime, as the denomination was omitted in the Coinage Act (or "Crime") of 1873. Census: 11 in 65 Cameo, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
Early Dimes
1796 10C --Scratches, Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Good Details. JR-5, R.5. The second rarest of seven known die varieties of 1796 dimes. Light to medium gray surfaces show hints of steel-blue on the reverse of this lower grade piece. The obverse has a couple old scratches, but they are not out of place for the overall quality of this specimen.(Registry values: P7)
1796 10C --Tooled, Cleaned--ANACS. XF Details, Net VF20. JR-6, R.3. Although 22,135 dimes were struck bearing the 1796 date, very few survive today. This piece possesses terrific detail, but several areas were tooled to smooth scratches or surface roughness. Hairlines are present from an old cleaning, but the piece has retoned to natural shades of golden-brown and silver-gray. Not an unattractive piece overall, perfect for a budget-minded collector who wishes to own an example of this premier federal dime issue.
Ex: October Bullet Sale (Heritage, 10/2000), lot 120.(Registry values: P7)
Ex: October Bullet Sale (Heritage, 10/2000), lot 120.(Registry values: P7)
1803 10C Good 6 PCGS. CAC. JR-4, R.5. Although five different die varieties are known for the 1803, the most "common" of those (JR-3) is very scarce, while JR-5 and JR-1 are formidable rarities. Steel-gray and golden-brown with a bold date and uneven wear along the left borders. A late reverse die state with a heavy bisecting crack between 1 and 7 o'clock.(Registry values: P7)
1804 10C 14 Stars on Reverse AG3 PCGS Genuine. JR-2, R.5. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AG3 example that has received damage in the form of many minute punchmarks on the reverse. Most letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are readable, and the slate-gray surfaces exhibit two-thirds of the date digits.(Registry values: P8, N8)
1805 10C 4 Berries PCGS Genuine. JR-2, R.2. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been whizzed and has an obverse scratch. Both sides have retoned orange, violet, and silver-gray.(Registry values: P5, N5)
1807 10C MS63 PCGS. JR-1, R.2. Only one die combination was used to strike all of the 1807 dimes, a total mintage of 165,000 coins. No wonder this variety is known in many different die states. The present piece has brilliant, untoned silver luster with frosty surfaces. It also has heavy clash marks and die bulges, a die state aficionado's dream coin. Population: 32 in 63, 28 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
1807 10C MS64 PCGS. JR-1, R.2. The sole die pair for the year. Not a scarce issue but certainly an uncommon one, the 1807 is the last of the Draped Bust dime issues, and it poses a significant challenge to collectors in the better circulated and Mint State grades. Choice or better coins, including this attractively toned example, are condition rarities. The present piece offers rich rose, violet, and blue shadings over medium-gray surfaces that are minimally abraded for the grade. Both sides show clash marks, with those of the obverse more prominent, particularly in the right field. Population: 20 in 64, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
Bust Dimes
1821 10C Large Date MS66 NGC. JR-5, R.3. The JR-5 die marriage is only scarce overall, but it is seldom found in Mint State grades. This impressive Premium Gem presents an outstanding opportunity for Bust dime specialists, as it is almost certainly the finest known of the variety. It is also near the top of the Condition Census among all varieties of the date, as NGC has certified only a single MS67 finer (unspecified as to variety), including both Large Date and Small Date variants. The finest 1821 Large Dates/JR-5s at PCGS are in MS65 and AU58, respectively.
The obverse has frosty luster gleaming beneath intense gold, rose, and sea-green toning across the entire surface. The reverse has an untoned area at the center, surrounded by deepening rings of similar colors. For the date, Census: 3 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)

1821 10C Small Date MS64 PCGS. JR-8, R.2. As an R.2 variety, the JR-8, like the other Small Date die pairs for the 1821 dime, is readily available in circulated grades. Mint State examples are considerably more elusive, especially with the eye appeal offered by this richly toned near-Gem. Rich violet-rose and blue-gray shadings drape each side. For coins attributed exclusively as Small Date, Population: 2 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1822 10C Fine 12 PCGS. JR-1, R.4. The only known dies. This is the rarest and most elusive date in the Capped Bust dime series. Silver-gray surfaces are blushed with soft gold and lilac patina. Well defined for the grade with remarkably clean surfaces for a coin that saw moderate circulation. An ancient pinscratch on the cheek is mentioned for complete accuracy.(Registry values: N991)
1825 10C MS65 NGC. JR-1, R.4. Star 8 very close to top of denticle and the A in STATES doubled to the left. The reported mintage for 1825 was 510,000 dimes, although most students of the series believe that the first 100,000 pieces were dated 1824. Five varieties are known, including three common marriages and two scarce marriages, produced from the combination of four obverse dies and three reverse dies. This lovely Gem has gold, gray, and lilac surfaces with frosty underlying luster. The eagle's head and neck are a trifle weak but all other design elements are bold. Census: 7 in 65 for the issue, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1833 10C Last 3 High MS62 PCGS. JR-5, R.1. The final 3 in the date is entered high, aiding identification. Dappled walnut-brown toning graces this pinpoint-sharp example. No marks are obvious, and luster dominates the borders, eagle, and curls.(Registry values: P1)
1835 10C MS62 PCGS. JR-9, R.2. A radiant example with surprisingly little patina over centers that are essentially silver-white. Gold and orange elements are present at the rims, however, particularly on the reverse. Minimally abraded for the grade assigned.(Registry values: N1793)
Seated Dimes
1837 10C No Stars, Small Date MS66 PCGS. CAC. Dusky chestnut-gold toning adorns this lustrous and meticulously struck Premium Gem. The fields appear pristine aside from mint-made clashmarks near the E in DIME. Two hair-thin lines on the shield are all that preclude an even finer designation.
Similar to its half dime counterpart, the 1837 dime was issued in both Bust and Seated types, and the Seated examples come with either Small or Large dates. While there is no significant difference in size between the Small and Large Date half dimes, the same cannot be said for the dime logotypes. The Small Date dime has a squat, compact look, while the Large Date appears stretched. Population: 3 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)

The Small Date dime has a squat, compact look, while the Large Date appears stretched. Population: 3 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
1838-O 10C No Stars AU53 NGC. Though the corner of the shield closest to Liberty's leg shows distinct wear, the blue-violet and gold patina on each side drapes immensely lustrous surfaces. Well struck and appealing. Housed in a former generation holder. Census: 7 in 53, 62 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1838-O 10C No Stars AU53 NGC. The 1838-O is essential to New Orleans type collectors, since it is the only No Stars dime from the Southern facility. It is also the first O-mint dime issue, although Breen believed that examples (such as the present coin) from a rusted obverse die were struck as late as 1839. Satiny and smooth with light rose-red and gray toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1838-O 10C No Stars AU55 NGC. Fortin-101 with an obverse rim cud at 2 o'clock. The mintmark is lightly repunched south. This lightly abraded pearl-gray example has satin luster across the devices and legends. The final No Stars issue, and much scarcer than its 1837 No Stars predecessor.(Registry values: N1793)
1838 10C Small Stars MS62 ★ NGC. A remarkably appealing coin for the grade assigned. Both sides are brightly lustrous and crisply struck with generally unobtrusive marks. The obverse has pale silver-gray color, while the reverse shows elements of peach.(Registry values: N991)
1842-O 10C AU55 PCGS. CAC. Pale blue and deeper peach shadings visit surfaces that are otherwise light silver-gray. Considerable luster remains in the fields, though appreciable wear is present on the high points of the devices. Population: 8 in 55, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1844 10C VF20 ANACS. Peach, yellow, and silver-blue elements mingle on each side of this moderately worn "Little Orphan Annie" dime. Small digs in the right obverse field contribute to the grade.(Registry values: N991)
1844 10C VF25 ANACS. Deep blue-gray and peach patina consumes each side of this moderately circulated example. Strongly defined with few abrasions for the grade, and housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: N991)
1844 10C VF25 ANACS. Pale silver-gray is the rule on this appealing VF example, though gold and gunmetal-blue peripheral elements add color to each side. Minimally abraded for the grade and attractive.(Registry values: N991)
1844 10C VF30 ANACS. Blue-green and gray-gold colors prevail on this midrange piece, with the former color dominating the dusky obverse and the latter, lighter shade prevailing on the reverse. Elegant eye appeal for the grade.(Registry values: N991)
1844 10C --Corroded--ANACS. XF Details, Net VF20. Deep blue and tan-gray color with detail strength of XF. A degree of corrosion affecting the fields and parts of the devices accounts for the net grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1844 10C XF40 PCGS. CAC. Deep violet and blue-gray patina drapes most of this XF "Little Orphan Annie" dime, with only a few spots of lighter peach and silver color appearing near the rims. Well struck and attractive. Population: 16 in 40, 28 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1844 10C XF45 PCGS. Small areas of deep orange and umber peripheral toning, the most notable one near the date, give way to still-lustrous gold-gray elsewhere. This Choice XF example of the "Little Orphan Annie" is housed in a green label holder. Population: 11 in 45, 17 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1844 10C AU58 NGC. CAC. Dove-gray, autumn-gold, and olive toning enriches this satiny near-Mint representative. Once heavily promoted as the "Little Orphan Annie" dime, the 1844 remains a scarce low mintage date. Unlike the present piece, most survivors are well circulated. Census: 1 in 58, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1855 10C Arrows MS67 NGC. The 1855 Seated Liberty, With Arrows dime claims a large mintage of more than 2 million pieces. Mint State specimens are prized by type collectors and series enthusiasts alike. Examples at the Superb Gem level are very rare. The outstanding visual appeal of the present coin is due to its spectacular toning. Lovely reddish-golden centers yield to cerulean-blue at the borders. A sharp strike complements the extraordinary toning. Census: 4 in 67, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1856 10C Large Date MS64 PCGS. The scarcer Large Date variant with the numerals oversized compared to the space afforded by the exergue. Strongly struck with lively luster beneath vibrant gold, orange, and rose patina. For coins certified as Large Date, Population: 2 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4)
1858 10C MS67 NGC. Hints of barely discernible light tan color gravitate to the margins of this lovely Superb Gem. The devices display a frosty texture and reveal a degree of contrast with the fields that show die polish lines. Better defined than ordinarily seen on the issue, save for the usual softness (though minor) on Liberty's hair and the ribbon bow. Both sides are impeccably preserved. Census: 4 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1859-S 10C VF35 PCGS. CAC. Medium gray fields highlight the lighter silver colored motifs. A well defined, minimally marked Choice VF.(Registry values: N991)
1860 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. This incredible Premium Gem exhibits frosty luster with brilliant, untoned silver surfaces. The design motifs on both sides are boldly defined. A wonderful example representing the first year of issue for the new Legend Obverse design. Population: 7 in 66, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1871 10C MS65 NGC. Dusky aquamarine and lime-green embrace this satiny and undisturbed Gem. The peripheries display occasional minor incompleteness, but the centers are sharply impressed. Census: 8 in 65, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1871-CC 10C MS62 NGC. A small mintage of 20,100 dimes was accomplished at the Carson City Mint in 1871, the first year the denomination was coined at the fabled facility. Only one die pair is known for this date. In The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Dimes, author Brian Greer reports on the 1871-CC:
A widespread ignorance of mintmarks pervaded American numismatics in the third quarter of the 19th century, with even prominent coin dealer Edward Cogan once attributing a coin from the Dahlonega Mint incorrectly. Most collectors were content to save one specimen of each date for their collection, without regard for mint of origin. It was not until Augustus Heaton published Coinage of the United States Branch Mints in 1893 that numismatists began to collect coins from the branch facilities systematically. By that time, the supply of Mint State 1871-CC dimes had long been exhausted.
Auction appearances of the 1871-CC dime were rare in the 19th century. One early appearance was in the New Jersey Sale (Frossard, 3/1898), lot 811. The coin offered on that occasion was a typical, well-worn piece described as "1871 C.C. mint. First year of issue. Fair, rare." The lot was purchased by John M. Clapp, one of the few collectors of the period who did value branch mint issues.
The present coin is one of the top half dozen specimens certified of this key date. The strike is full, with crisp detail present on all central devices and peripheral elements strongly impressed. The surfaces are accented by a mottled, light gray and rose patina. A few light hairlines are present on the obverse, but are difficult to detect under the patina. Census: 2 in 62, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
"A very scarce date that is one of the keys to the series. Slightly tougher than the 1873-CC in G-VF, but slightly more available in XF or better. Problem-free examples are at least R5. Excessively rare in mint state. ... High grade examples will generally be well struck."

1872-CC 10C --Reverse Damage--NGC. Fine Details. A slate-gray example of this early and rare Carson City issue. A scrape passes through the E in DIME, and the obverse has minor evidence of corrosion. NGC has yet to certify any in grades above AU55.(Registry values: N1793)
1873-CC 10C Arrows PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .97 suggests Environmental Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that is corroded, has been cleaned, and has obverse scratches. A well struck example of this important and coveted Carson City dime issue. Surfaces are uniformly lustrous with scratches and areas of sage against otherwise silver-gray color. The patches of moderate corrosion on the obverse grow more widespread on the reverse.
1873-CC 10C Arrows VG8 PCGS. The characteristic die crack through the mintmark is clearly visible. An important early Carson City Mint rarity, this dime has some old obverse and reverse scratches that are consistent with the grade, and mostly hidden by the steel-blue and light gold toning. Population: 11 in 8, 39 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1874 10C Arrows MS69 NGC. From 1837 to 1891, the long-lived Liberty Seated dime series experienced a number of design changes, creating five major subtypes: the Plain Obverse; the Stars on Obverse; the Stars on Obverse, Arrows at Date; the Legend on Obverse; and the Legend on Obverse, Arrows at Date. The Plain Obverse and the two Arrows at Date subtypes were struck only briefly, focusing type demand on a handful of issues. Among them is the 1874 Arrows dime, which has a mintage of slightly under 3 million pieces.
It is fascinating to note that in the NGC Census Report, there are only two Liberty Seated dimes of any variety graded MS69, and both are Arrows pieces, one the 1874 Arrows coin offered here, the other an 1853 Arrows dime; by extension, the two short-lived Arrows subtypes are represented in MS69, whereas the other, much longer-lived varieties have no NGC-certified examples at that level (10/09). The PCGS Population Report adds just one other MS69 to the combined certified population, the Eliasberg 1845-O dime that outgrades its nearest competitor by seven points.
As one might imagine, this is an exquisitely preserved survivor, frosty and undeniably beautiful. Rich peripheral patina, largely cerulean and blue-green with occasional reddish-gold elements, surrounds immensely lustrous and untoned centers. It is scarcely possible to imagine how this dime came through more than a century of tumultuous time with none but the tiniest of flaws, yet it has, and its next owner is certain to treasure it.(Registry values: N1)

1875-S 10C Mintmark Below Bow MS65 NGC. Each side is brilliant throughout with strong mint frost. Sharply defined and evenly balanced from one side to the other. The Below Bow and Above Bow coins have always seemed to us to be an understudied area in 19th century numismatics.(Registry values: N1793)
1876-CC 10C MS65 PCGS. Splashes of aqua-blue and soft purple adorn the lustrous surfaces of this pleasing Gem. This nicely preserved CC-mint dime exhibits well struck design features. Population: 35 in 65, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1876-CC 10C MS67 ★ NGC. Type Two hubbed over Type One Reverse. Vivid electric-blue, lavender, and golden-brown toning concentrates at the border areas of this Superb Gem, leaving the centers essentially color free. The design features are exquisitely struck and both sides are impeccably preserved. Census: 1 in 67 ★ , 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1877 10C MS68 NGC. The lone finest 1877 dime Heritage has ever offered, unsurprising since this is the only MS68 survivor certified by either NGC or PCGS (10/09). This coin has wondrous eye appeal with silver-white surfaces throughout. The luster in the fields is strong and shining, while the well-defined devices offer a softly frosted counterpoint. Its preservation is exemplary, as may be expected for the MS68 designation, with only a couple of minuscule reverse marks visible to the unaided eye. Struck from clashed dies, most evident on the left side of Liberty and within the wreath.(Registry values: N1)
1879 10C MS67 ★ NGC. A stone-white Superb Gem that has a semiprooflike obverse and a fully prooflike reverse. The strike is complete save for a few grains on the cereal wreath. The lowest mintage year for the Seated dime series, since the presses were needed to strike as many silver dollars as possible. Census: 6 in 67 ★ , none finer with a Star designation (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1882 10C MS65 PCGS. Lustrous surfaces are covered with golden-gray patination and cobalt-blue and lavender accents at the margins. Well struck and devoid of mentionable marks. Population: 70 in 65, 42 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1884 10C MS67 NGC. This brilliant Superb Gem possesses potent luster and appears immaculate. A precise strike with pleasing kernel definition. An outstanding type representative. Census: 24 in 67, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1885 10C MS67 NGC. An undeniable treat for the type collector, this incredibly well-preserved Seated dime offers excellent detail and vibrant luster with only a touch of peach patina at the margins. A noteworthy and eminently appealing representative from this issue of slightly over 2.5 million pieces. Census: 16 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1889 10C MS67 NGC. The silver-white surfaces of this Superb Gem yield a pleasant frosty sheen on both sides, and a well executed strike sharpens the design motifs, save for the typical minor softness in the hair on top of Liberty's head and on the bow knot. A few light ticks are undistracting. The 1889 is a common date, but becomes elusive in the lofty grade of MS67. Census: 9 in 67, 0 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1891 10C MS66 PCGS. Rose, electric-blue, orange, and peach patina rings the silver-gray centers of this well struck and strongly lustrous Premium Gem. This is a nicely preserved specimen. The 1891 issues marked the end of the Seated Liberty design, soon to be replaced by Charles Barber's creations. Population: 50 in 66, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1891-O 10C MS65 NGC. Pale green and blue peripheral elements give way to dramatic orange and silver toning in the centers. This lovely O-mint Gem comes from the last year of the Seated design. Census: 27 in 65, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1891-O 10C MS65 NGC. Peach, silver-white, and blue-green colors dominate this shining O-mint Gem. Strongly struck with faint fingerprint patterns present on the obverse. Census: 27 in 65, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1891-S 10C MS65 NGC. Frosty and delightful with pleasing detail for this final-year S-mint issue. Faint whispers of mint and gold-green patina visit the carefully preserved surfaces. Census: 25 in 65, 12 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Seated Dimes
1843 10C PR65 NGC. Ex: Pittman. This piece is in a new NGC holder since its last appearance with us, but it is definitely one of the two coins John Jay Pittman owned, in this case (Akers, 10/1997), lot 832, both from our own plate-matching as well as the NGC label identifying it as a Pittman coin. The present piece was offered as part of a complete 1843 proof set in the Pittman Collection. The other Pittman 1843 dime was sold as a singleton, a coin Pittman bought from the 1946 ANA sale (Numismatic Gallery, 8/1946), lot 266, for $17. In the description of that piece, Akers wrote:
When we offered this coin earlier this year we described it as follows:
That roster of nine specimens, which can be found in the offering mentioned above, remains essentially unchanged today, as indeed it has since the Pittman offerings 12 years ago. For the specialists in Seated dimes or early proof coinage, the importance of this rare and superbly pedigreed lot will be obvious. Census: 2 in 65, 1 in 66 (10/09).
Ex: Part of a purchase from Judge Joseph F. Sawicki (5/1948); John Jay Pittman, from an original 1843 proof set (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 832; Richmond Collection (David Lawrence, 3/2005), lot 1238; FUN Signature Auction (1/2009, lot 3688).
"This date in Proof is extremely rare and was absent from virtually every important sale of Dimes in recent years, including such great collections as James Stack, Floyd Starr, Harold Bareford, Allen Lovejoy and Louis Eliasberg. There was, however, a specimen in the Norweb Collection ... . Proof Dimes were struck in 1843 only for inclusion on the 10-15 Proof sets of the year. A few more seem to be around than of the Half Dime, but the number of Proofs in existence still cannot be more than 8-10 pieces."
When we offered this coin earlier this year we described it as follows:
"This example from the Pittman 1843 proof set is tied for third finest of the nine known examples. It has deep steel and lilac toning over fully mirrored fields, with few marks of any sort on either side."

1845 10C PR65 Cameo NGC. Greer-103, Fortin-109. Repunching shows strongest within the 8 of the date, below the front of the 4, and beneath the flag of the 5. The date is low and slopes down left to right. This flashy Gem is essentially white, and displays frosty design elements that stand out against the mirrored fields. In addition, the devices are sharply struck, further enhancing the coin's overall eye appeal. Both sides are exquisitely preserved. A couple of minute marks in the middle of Liberty's right (left facing) arm serve to identify the piece. This Gem Cameo proof is the finest Cameo specimen certified by either NGC or PCGS (10/09).
1861 10C PR66 NGC. A stunning Premium Gem proof, this 1861 dime exhibits fully and deeply mirrored fields around lustrous devices. This piece deserves a Cameo designation, although the contrast is somewhat subdued by delightful cobalt-blue, apple-green, and magenta toning. Census: 10 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1873 10C Arrows PR67 Cameo NGC. Between the two varieties of the proof 1873 dime, the later With Arrows production run was smaller, with just 800 pieces struck compared with 1,100 coins for the No Arrows design. The Arrows variant's desirability to type collectors further increases pressure on the small supply, particularly in higher grades. This memorable Superb Gem proof has outstanding contrast through distinctive reddish-gold patina. Despite the toning, neither the flash of the deep mirrors nor the frost across the devices is dimmed. Census: 2 in 67 Cameo, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1881 10C PR64 PCGS. Strongly mirrored beneath rich patina, rose-gray at the centers with blue-violet more prominent at the margins. A few faint hairlines separate this sharp specimen from Gem status. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N991)
1882 10C PR64 NGC. The white surfaces of this gorgeous near-Gem proof display moderate field-motif variance irrespective of the angle of observation. Exquisitely struck and showing just a few minor handling marks.(Registry values: N991)
1882 10C PR64 Cameo PCGS. The brilliant surfaces serve to enhance the stark white-on-black cameo effect of the lustrous devices against the illimitable depth of reflectivity in the fields. A pleasing coin for the grade whose main deterrent to an even higher grade is a planchet flaw in the left obverse field.(Registry values: N991)
1882 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. Beautiful cobalt-blue, golden-brown, and plum-red bands adorn the peripheries of this needle-sharp Superb Gem. One pinpoint fleck above the shield, but otherwise pristine. An outstanding candidate for an advanced silver proof type set. Census: 14 in 67 Cameo, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1884 10C PR65 NGC. Ex: Richmond Collection. A superbly toned example of this low proof issue. The centers are deep red and the margins cobalt-blue. An interesting striking flaw immediately identifies this piece: There is a lint mark from the base of Liberty's cap to the wrist.
Ex: Richmond Collection III (David Lawrence, 3/2005), lot 1278.(Registry values: N1793)
Ex: Richmond Collection III (David Lawrence, 3/2005), lot 1278.(Registry values: N1793)
1885 10C PR65 PCGS. Deep navy-blue, apricot-gold, and mauve cover this satiny and unblemished Gem. A good strike with limited incompleteness on the hair and a small section of wreath opposite the rock. Population: 50 in 65, 37 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1885 10C PR66 PCGS. A full quota of cameo contrast is visible beneath the gold and emerald toning of this Premium Gem. The surfaces exhibit trivial contact marks hardly worth describing. Population: 29 in 66, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1885 10C PR66 Cameo PCGS. A fully brilliant Premium Gem Cameo proof, this Seated dime has exceptional eye appeal with hints of champagne toning, slightly heavier on the reverse. Population: 17 in 66 Cameo, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1885 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. A goodly number of the 930 proof dimes minted in 1885 have survived to the present day, including many with a Cameo finish. Superb Gem Cameos such as the present offering are challenging, however. The essentially white surfaces exhibit sharply impressed design elements and have been well cared for. These attributes generate pleasing overall eye appeal. Census: 27 in 67 Cameo, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1885 10C PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. The PR68 ★ Cameo grade says much about this coin, which combines splendidly contrasting, pristine silver-white surfaces with tremendous eye appeal. The strike is somewhat blunt on Liberty's head and extended right (facing) foot and sandal. The only identifying mark for pedigree purposes is a small curlicue strike-through projecting into the field from the left bottom serif of the 1 in the date. Census: 2 in 68 ★ Cameo, 1 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1887 10C PR67 NGC. CAC. Only 710 proofs were made of this issue, a marked contrast with the immense business-strike emission of more than 11.2 million coins. The obverse of this piece sports silver centers with glimpses of cherry-red and amber at the rims, while the reverse shows an aquamarine center. Brilliant luster radiates from both sides, despite the moderate color. Census: 8 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1887 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. Both sides show bold contrast on this richly toned Seated dime proof, particularly the obverse, which has stronger mirrors. Dusky pastel yellow, peach, blue, and violet shadings grace both the fields and the solidly struck devices. One of six PR67 Cameo coins graded by NGC with none finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1889 10C PR65 PCGS. Ex: Eliasberg. The Eliasberg note for this proof indicates "Dash patch to top of first S." We have never noticed this before, but it appears the top of the S was effaced and then patched with a dash or something like it. Interesting. The fields are brightly reflective and the centers mostly brilliant with rose-russet and lime-green peripheral toning.

Barber Dimes
1893 10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Sharply struck, with golden-gray and cobalt-blue toning that is heavier on the reverse. The obverse shows flashy luster, while that on the reverse is somewhat subdued by the depth of the toning. Population: 33 in 65, 25 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1893-O 10C MS64 PCGS. Speckled gold toning is visible over lustrous ivory surfaces with full frosty mint brilliance beneath. This lovely Choice Mint State example will meet the desires of most collectors. Population: 36 in 64, 23 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1894 10C MS65 PCGS. An important date in the Barber dime series, and a wonderful Gem that has few peers. This piece has deep iridescent toning on the obverse with faint champagne on the reverse. Population: 20 in 65, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1895-O 10C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. The luminous surfaces have retoned violet and rose-gray from a past cleaning. Well-defined for the level of wear. One of only 440,000 examples of the issue.(Registry values: N1793)
1895-O 10C MS65 PCGS. The 1895-O Barber dime had a low mintage of 440,000 coins, and only a small number have survived in Uncirculated condition. This impressive Gem example combines seemingly unimprovable eye appeal with a high degree of technical merit. Most of the design elements are crisply defined by a sharp striking impression, although some of the lower left wreath leaves are weak. Rich copper-tan and lilac toning emerges near the peripheries. Well preserved and nearly blemish-free on both sides. A conditionally scarce offering of this elusive semikey date in the Barber dime series. Population: 10 in 65, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1897 10C MS67 NGC. Sky-blue and lavender patina around the borders is slightly more extensive on the reverse of this Superb Gem, ceding to soft golden-orange in the centers. A decisive strike leaves sharp detail on the design elements. Highly lustrous surfaces are impeccably preserved. An extremely difficult coin in this lofty grade. Census: 6 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1898-O 10C MS63 PCGS. This select Mint State piece has frosty luster and above average design details beneath deep steel-blue, golden-brown, and iridescent toning. Population: 15 in 63, 27 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1898-O 10C MS64 PCGS. A sharp strike, pleasing lustrous surfaces, and rich green, gold, and iridescent toning characterize this important Choice Mint State 1898-O dime. Population: 14 in 64, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1898-O 10C MS65 PCGS. This issue is difficult to locate in Mint State despite the 2.130 million-piece mintage. Additionally, it is one of the more poorly struck issues in the Barber dime series. This Gem offering is exceptional for its above-average strike, including LIBERTY and upper right part of the wreath, areas typically weak. Only the lower left set of leaves reveal minor softness. Each side exudes pleasing luster and a delicate blend of apple-green, purple, and gray patina. Faint contacts are noted on the neck and light roller marks on the cheek. Population: 7 in 65, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1902-S 10C MS67 NGC. As one might expect, in MS67 the 1902-S is a significant condition rarity. NGC and PCGS combined report just three Superb Gems, with none finer (10/09). The present coin boasts shimmering satiny luster beneath mottled reddish-tan and silver-gray toning. Close examination under magnification reveals only a few tiny marks on Liberty's face. Needle-sharp design elements add to the aesthetic appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
1904-S 10C MS63 NGC. Both sides of this lightly toned silver-gray Select coin show appreciable reflectivity in the fields. Well-defined for this lower-mintage San Francisco issue. Census: 6 in 63, 22 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1905 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem display occasional whispers of gold-tan color. This is a sharply struck well preserved piece. The reverse is rotated counterclockwise a few degrees. Population: 4 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1906-O 10C MS66 NGC. Rich golden-brown fills the fields and devices, while the borders are aquamarine. Satiny and fully struck with virtually immaculate surfaces. Census: 10 in 66, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1907-D 10C MS66 NGC. Fully patinated in golden-brown, cream-gray, and blue-green. Satiny and well struck with an exemplary reverse and minimal obverse grazes. Although the 1907-D has a reasonable mintage, the issue is surprisingly scarce in Mint State. Gems are rare. Census: 8 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1907-S 10C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Reddish-orange and blue-green shadings grace the lower obverse, while the reverse shows a faint echo of peripheral olive. Silver-gray luster prevails elsewhere. A small mark on the cheek contributes to the grade. Population: 21 in 64, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1908-O 10C MS67 NGC. This is a gorgeous Superb Gem Barber dime that will be especially appreciated by the connoisseur of deep toning. The obverse is complemented by a rich coating of cobalt-blue, golden-brown, and purple coloration which is obviously original. In contrast, the reverse is entirely untoned. The devices are sharply struck and the surfaces nearly perfect. This is a simply marvelous example from the New Orleans Mint. Census: 3 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1915 10C MS66 NGC. A fully brilliant beauty, this Premium Gem has frosty silver luster and bold design features. It is also one of just 19 that NGC and PCGS have certified as MS66, with none finer. Census: 10 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Barber Dimes
1893 10C PR66 Cameo NGC. An amazing Premium Gem Cameo proof, this Barber dime exhibits only slight champagne toning over otherwise brilliant silver surfaces. Census: 14 in 66 Cameo, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1898 10C PR64 Cameo NGC. Delicate golden-gray toning graces glassy fields and evenly frosted devices. A scarce yet affordable proof type coin. A meager 735 proofs were struck.(Registry values: N991)
1900 10C PR64 Cameo NGC. The fields are uncommonly deep in their reflectivity, which undoubtedly accounts for much of the Cameo contrast seen. Pale pinkish-rose toning is present in varying amounts on both obverse and reverse. Intricately detailed.(Registry values: N991)
1901 10C PR65 NGC. The portrait is frosty, but a Cameo designation is denied by the exquisite navy-blue and golden-brown peripheral patina, which encompasses the wreath. A Gem with memorable eye appeal. A stingy 813 proofs were emitted.(Registry values: N1793)
1907 10C PR64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Eliasberg. A surprisingly high-end coin for a PR64. The fields are bright and deeply reflective, and the obverse shows a scattering of rose and sea-green patina while the reverse is mostly untoned.
Ex: Eliasberg (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1288.(Registry values: N991)
Ex: Eliasberg (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1288.(Registry values: N991)
1911 10C PR65 ICG. Dappled blue and green-gold shadings drape each side of this sharp Gem proof. Faint whispers of frost are present on the devices, though the toning ensures that contrast is minimal.(Registry values: N1793)
Mercury Dimes
1916-D 10C Good 6 PCGS. CAC. The date is sharp, the mintmark is clear, and some wing detail is visible. The upper portion of a couple of letters in AMERICA is faint. A pair of thin faded lines on the left obverse field is of little import.(Registry values: N1)
1916-D 10C VF25 NGC. Cream-gray throughout the highpoints and open fields, with the usual charcoal toning in recessed areas such as the olive sprig. Most of the lines in the fasces are complete, although there are a couple of "bridges" present. One hair-thin mark from the rim to the nose.(Registry values: N1793)
1916-D 10C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. The 1916-D is the key issue to a collection of Mercury dimes, from a mintage of just 264,000 coins. Every other Mercury dime issue, with the possible exception of the two 1942 overdates, had a mintage of more than 1 million coins. This example has excellent detail with only light wear. The surfaces are bright silver with no evidence of toning. Minor hairlines and other imperfections are mostly inconsequential.(Registry values: N2998)
1916-D 10C AU50 NGC. This is a coin that many collectors will find appealing. While the key-date 1916-D Mercury dime can be found in the lower grades from AG to Very Good with little difficulty, midgrade coins from Fine to AU are extremely elusive and popular when offered. This AU piece boasts satiny silver-white surfaces that are untoned, displaying the beauty and appeal of this piece in all its glory. All of the individual sticks in the bundled fasces are clearly defined, and close inspection reveals nothing but tremendous eye appeal. A remarkable coin for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1916-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. The key date to the Mercury dime series, the 1916-D dime is an issue that is in demand in all grades, with Mint State examples decidedly difficult to locate. Because of striking problems with the initial design, the Denver Mint did not begin production of the issue until late in the year, and halted in November to concentrate resources on a large order of quarters. The resulting mintage was a paltry 264,000 pieces.
This specimen has a well executed strike and satiny silver luster, with brilliant surfaces complemented by a hint of champagne toning. The all-important central bands are fully split (as are the top and bottom horizontal bands), although the lower diagonal joins the nearby olive leaf, as often seen. Handling marks are at a minimum, as one would expect for the grade, and visual appeal is outstanding.(Registry values: N4719)

1916-D 10C MS65 Full Bands NGC. The low-mintage 1916-D Winged Liberty dime became well-known as the series key before the design ended in 1945; unfortunately for collectors, that recognition became widespread only during the Great Depression, nearly two decades after the issue was released to circulation, which explains the many heavily worn examples seen by today's collectors. A relatively small number of near-pristine pieces do exist, however, such as this exactingly struck Full Bands Gem. The luster is bright and slightly frosty, and aside from a few hints of peripheral golden-tan color, the surfaces are nearly silver-white. Census: 24 in 65 Full Bands, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1917-S 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Bright and nearly brilliant save for a hint of golden toning in the fields. The strike is sharp, and only a handful of tiny marks appear in the fields. Population: 62 in 66 Full Bands, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1918 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Potent luster has a satiny element on this sharply struck Gem. Silver-blue and gold elements vie for surface area, and the left obverse has dots of deeper toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1920-D 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Strongly struck overall, if slightly incomplete on the bands, with bright silver-white luster. An attractive Premium Gem example of an issue surprisingly challenging in this state. Population: 5 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1920-D 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. This brilliant and sharply struck Premium Gem has exceptional design definition on both sides. The mostly untoned surfaces are satiny and lustrous with wisps of peripheral rose toning. The 1920-D is elusive in high grades with a sharp strike. Population: 13 in 66 Full Bands, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1920-S 10C MS62 Full Bands PCGS. An unusually precise strike for the issue, not only on the bands but on the fine details of the portrait as well. Silver-white and peach shadings overall with scattered dots of deeper color.(Registry values: N491)
1923-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Larry Shapiro. Satiny luster radiates from the untoned surfaces on this example, one of the most difficult Gems to encounter with Full Bands. This issue is noted both for peripheral weakness and flat central and diagonal bands. On this example, the center bands are fully split and rounded, although examination with a loupe reveals a nick through them. Both diagonal bands are well defined. The S mintmark and the NE in ONE nearby are a bit soft, and there is a small obverse die crack that joins the rear of the wing to the rim, as often found in this series. Population: 32 in 65 Full Bands, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1924-D 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Larry Shapiro. Frosty, radiant luster, completely untoned on both sides and blindingly brilliant. Careful examination with a high-power glass reveals a near-complete absence of mentionable contact marks on the obverse. Although Lange's reference says this issue is neither difficult in Gem or Full Bands, less than 10 coins have attained the Superb Gem Full Bands designation at PCGS. Another exemplary coin from this exceptional collection. Population: 9 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1926-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. Wisps of gold toning visit this highly lustrous and needle-sharp branch mint Gem. Perusal with a lens is unable to find any obvious abrasions. Population: 71 in 65 Full Bands, 20 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1928-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. An attractive example of this Denver issue, distinctly underrated with Full Bands definition. This piece is boldly impressed, not only on the bands but throughout the central devices. Whispers of golden-tan rest upon radiantly lustrous surfaces that exhibit only a few inoffensive ticks that prevent this gorgeous specimen from attaining a higher grade. Population: 61 in 65 Full Bands, 19 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1928-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Warm gold and peach overtones grace parts of the otherwise pale silver-gray surfaces. This decisively struck Gem shows an area of heightened die polish to the left of Liberty's forehead and nose. Population: 53 in 65 Full Bands, 36 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1929 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. Lilac, autumn-gold, russet, and jade-green invigorate this lustrous and immaculate Superb Gem. An outstanding representative from the year of the famous stock market crash. Population: 51 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1929-S 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Larry Shapiro. Fantastic luster almost leaps off this satiny-white Gem. The quality of the strike and surfaces is impeccable. The 1929-S is more available in high grade than most other early issues, but it is still a condition rarity in Superb Gem. Population: 26 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1935-D 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Larry Shapiro. This issue is difficult to find with full central bands. The present example is highly lustrous, with fully split central bands and diagonals, although the strike is a bit flat at the peripheries. Brilliant, with a transparent wash of light-gold toning covering both sides in an irregular pattern. Only a few trivial ticks reveal themselves under magnification. A delectable and unsurpassable representative of this difficult issue. Population: 21 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1942/1 10C AU50 PCGS. CAC. FS-101, formerly FS-010.7. An obvious overdate with the underdigit 1 at the left edge of the 2 in the date. Luster glimmers from the legends and device recesses of this pearl-gray and caramel-gold key date dime.(Registry values: N991)
1943-D 10C MS68 ★ Full Bands NGC. The nearly immaculate semi-prooflike fields of this brilliant Superb Gem coaxed a Star designation from NGC. Fully struck and flashy. Census: 3 in 68 ★ Full Bands, none finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
Proof Mercury Dimes
1936 10C PR66 PCGS. CAC. Iridescent straw-gold and powder-blue tints emerge when this low mintage proof Premium Gem is rotated beneath a light. Fully struck, and encapsulated in an old green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1936 10C PR67 NGC. The Mint resumed coinage of proof issues in 1936, with a small total of 4,130 proof Mercury dimes. The coins were well received, but it took a few years for demand to reach the levels attained by the proof coinage of earlier years. Examples at the Superb Proof level are decidedly scarce. The present example is a magnificent specimen with a razor-sharp strike, nice reflectivity, and light golden toning. Census: 81 in 67, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1937 10C PR67 NGC. A satiny and fully struck Superb Gem with glassy, undisturbed fields and a light blanket of pearl-gray toning. Only the second year of proof production for the type, and mintages were much lower than for subsequent dates.(Registry values: N991)
1939 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. An absolutely stunning Superb Gem Cameo proof 1939 Mercury dime. The surfaces are entirely brilliant and untoned. The fields are deeply mirrored while the devices show light mint frost, creating a clear cameo appearance. Such coins are extremely rare, as contrasting cameo proofs were discouraged at the time these coins were struck. Today, the few surviving cameo proofs are highly prized. Census: 13 in 67 Cameo, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1941 10C PR68 NGC. The obverse shows green-gold and violet peripheral elements, while the reverse shows a more even layer of thin cloud-gray toning across the fields. Exquisitely struck with delightful mirrors.(Registry values: N1793)
1942 10C PR68 NGC. CAC. Light silver-gray toning with a hint of gold graces the broad centers, which are framed by narrow bands of deep umber on the obverse. On the reverse, the golden overtones are more dramatic. Sharply struck with gorgeous mirrors beneath the toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1942 10C PR68 PCGS. Decisively detailed with gleaming surfaces, pale silver beneath elements of cloud-white and champagne. Exquisitely preserved and undeniably appealing. Population: 37 in 68, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Roosevelt Dimes
1970 10C No S PR69 Cameo PCGS. Ex: Eric Kreuter Collection. A presumably distracted mint worker neglected to enter an S mintmark on the obverse die for this pristine Superb Gem. The various No S varieties are the keys to the proof Roosevelt dime series. Population: 2 in 69, 0 finer (10/09).
Ex: Eric A. Kreuter Collection (Heritage, 5/2004), lot 6868, which realized $6,037.50.(Registry values: P1)

Twenty Cent Pieces
1875 20C MS63 NGC. A razor-sharp representative of this low mintage first-year issue. The shimmering surfaces are minimally abraded and display attractive autumn-gold and aquamarine shadings.(Registry values: N1793)
1875-CC 20C VF30 NGC. This mid-grade piece is the only collectible Carson City twenty cent piece. The surfaces are light gray overall and even wear is seen over the devices and in the fields.(Registry values: N491)
1875-S 20C MS64 PCGS. Silver-gray surfaces are awash in mint frost, and display whispers of light tan color, especially on the obverse. The design elements are generally well struck, except for minor softness in portions of Liberty's hair and at the top of the eagle's left (facing) wing. Some minute marks in the right (facing) obverse field limit the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1876 20C MS62 ANACS. The usually encountered 20 cent piece is the 1875-S; all other issues are rare by comparison. The 1876, from a mintage of only 14,640 coins, is elusive in any grade. Mint State examples are always in strong demand. Both sides of this satiny piece have pale russet, gold, and turquoise toning.(Registry values: N991)
Proof Twenty Cent Pieces
1876 20C PR63 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Delicate silver-blue tints visit the broad and gleaming fields, while the devices showcase ample snowy frost. Though a number of hairlines are present on each side, most noticeably to the right of Liberty, and the central areas show a handful of contact marks, the overall eye appeal is strong for the grade. In sum, an appealing specimen of this short-lived series. Population: 18 in 63 Cameo, 37 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Early Quarters
1796 25C --Holed--NGC. AG Details. B-2, R.3. The 1796 quarter is famous as a one-year-only type, and affordable examples can be hard to come by. While this heavily worn example does show a neat hole through the bottom of the obverse, below the space between the 1 and 7 in the date, this has surprisingly little effect on the overall eye appeal. While parts of the reverse design have worn away, the portrait remains weakly but fully outlined. Gold-gray surfaces show scattered blue overtones.(Registry values: P7)
1796 25C XF45 NGC. B-1, R.4. The rarer of the two varieties, it is attributed by a low 6 in the date, a lump between the 9 and the dentil, the date not equally spaced, with the 7 and 9 too close, the lower right star almost touching the drapery, and the upright of E in LIBERTY centered over the curl. Both varieties share the same reverse.
The quarter dollar was struck on an irregular basis during the early years of the Mint. Coinage was low in some years, while others saw no production at all. Steve Tompkins writes in his recent treatise Early United States Quarters, 1796-1838:
Tompkins continues:
Medium intensity golden-gray patination in the fields with electric-blue accents highlights slightly the lighter gray central motifs of this Choice XF offering. The design elements are appropriately defined, including the typical boldness of the dentilation. Both sides are remarkably clean for a coin having experienced some circulation, and both are devoid of adjustment marks. In summary, this piece will be a wonderful addition to the collection of a type or date collector.(Registry values: P7)
The quarter dollar was struck on an irregular basis during the early years of the Mint. Coinage was low in some years, while others saw no production at all. Steve Tompkins writes in his recent treatise Early United States Quarters, 1796-1838:
"This was due in part to the actual needs of commerce, but added to this was a lack of the mint having a bullion fund to purchase silver and the need to process and strike each deposit in the order it was received. The mint was at the mercy of the depositor. If bullion was not deposited to be coined, the mint would sit idle. The depositor was also the one who determined what denomination they wished to have their deposit coined it to. There was a glut of Spanish colonial silver 2 Reales already in circulation. Many of these pieces even being very worn, traded at par, so the need was small for new coins of the quarter denomination. Consequently, few depositors wished to have their deposits returned in quarter dollars."
Tompkins continues:
"In fact, the new quarter denomination was not only unneeded, it was in all probability unwanted as well. Due to the lack of a denomination stated on the coin, the public even had trouble knowing what it was worth and how to use it for making change in daily commerce."

1804 25C --Plugged--NGC. Good Details. B-1, R.3. The top of the 4 is distant from the drapery. This piece has been plugged at 10 o'clock, and has light surface roughness on both sides. The major devices on both sides are mostly complete.(Registry values: P7)
1805 25C --Scratches--NGC. Good Details. B-5, R.5. The top flag of the 5 in the denomination is buried in the arrow feathers, and the C in 25 C is solidly joined to the tail feathers. Those features are diagnostic for this rare variety that was unknown to Browning when he studied the series. This piece has fully outlined devices with natural deep gray patina. The minor obverse scratches are essentially inconsequential.(Registry values: P5)
1806 25C Fine 15 ANACS. B-9, R.1. The heavy vertical die crack on the obverse between 7 and 11 o'clock helps identify the Browning marriage. This deep cream-gray Draped Bust quarter lacks consequential abrasions, and all letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are at least partly present.(Registry values: P5)
1806 25C --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. B-9, R.1. Attributed by the following: the missing lower left serif of 1, the flag of which touches the hair curl; the tip of the flag of the 5 embedded in the arrow feathers; and five large berries, two inside and three outside of the olive branch.
This coin lacks the bisecting obverse crack seen on the majority of B-9 examples, and there are no rim cuds above ATE in STATES or above OF to the left side of the A in AMERICA, as seen on intermediate die states. A light crack runs through the tops of UNITED, the wingtip, and STAT, and another extends from the upper left shield corner to the eagle's beak.
The silver-colored surfaces retain traces of luster in the recesses, and reveal occasional fine hairlines under magnification. A few brownish toning streaks are visible on the obverse. The design elements are sharply defined, except for softness in the eagle's breast feathers and adjacent shield stripes. A few light adjustment marks are located on the central reverse, but significant abrasions are absent. The NCS disclaimer should not intimidate interested bidders, as the cleaning is light and does not detract from the coin's overall appeal.(Registry values: P5)

1807 25C VF30 ANACS. B-1, R.3. The missing right serif of the I in AMERICA is diagnostic for the B-1 variety. A lovely example for the grade with excellent surfaces and lovely iridescent toning around light silver-gray devices.(Registry values: P5)
1807 25C XF45 ANACS. B-1, R.2. Variety determined by the reverse, which has the first S in STATES over the space between clouds. Luminous silver-gray color overall with spots of tan. The obverse shows adjustment marks, while the reverse is strongly clashed.(Registry values: P5)
Bust Quarters
1818/5 25C VF35 PCGS. CAC. B-1, R.2. Undesignated as an overdate by PCGS, probably since the traces of the 5 underdigit are obscured by the original russet patina that frequents protected areas. The fields and devices are stone-gray. Smooth aside from faint marks on the right-side stars.(Registry values: P3)
1818 25C XF45 PCGS. B-10, R.3. Richly patinated in gunmetal-gray and walnut-brown. Problem-free and well detailed. The obverse die state is unlisted in the recent Tompkins reference, since the field is double clashed yet the reverse displays die cracks.(Registry values: P2)
1818 25C MS64 PCGS. B-3, R.2. A wonderful example of this plentiful variety, and ideally suited for a date or type collector. A number of higher Mint State grade pieces survive from this die pair. Frosty and lustrous silver surfaces have ivory patina with darker gold and iridescent toning on the reverse. Population: 51 in 64, 25 finer (10/09), for all 1818 varieties.(Registry values: P2)
1818 25C MS65 NGC. B-5, R.5. Blended dove-gray, plum-mauve, and autumn-gold attest to the originality of this satiny and well struck Gem. Thorough evaluation with the aid of a loupe fails to find evenly remotely mentionable marks. As a date, 1818 quarters are available in circulated grades, and several common varieties can also be located in Mint State grades. However, the B-5 is far from common. According to the Census listing in Early United States Quarters (Steve Tompkins), this coin is the first Mint State B-5 to appear in an auction sale since 1988. It is easily the finest known example of the die combination.(Registry values: P2)
1821 25C XF45 ANACS. B-4, R.3. A bright and bold olive-gold example. All legends are sharp, and traces of luster are retained. Both sides are unblemished aside from an inconspicuous pinscratch beneath the right half of the scroll. Struck from boldly clashed dies.

1822 25C MS62 NGC. B-1, R.2 The Normal Dies 1822 quarter is struck from perfect dies as are all examples of the die combination. The surfaces are reflective with minor marks hidden beneath the deep steel and lighter iridescent toning. Four or five proofs are known, alongside a small quantity of Mint State pieces.

1824/2 25C --Scratches--NGC. Fine Details. B-1, R.3. The only variety for 1824, struck from an overdated obverse die. While this example does have some light, old scratches on the obverse, they are entirely blended with the surrounding surface, and the natural gray and iridescent patina trumps those blemishes. This piece will please most any collector who has been searching for the date without success.(Registry values: P4)
1824/2 25C Fine 15 PCGS. CAC. B-1, R.3. The only die pair for the year, and scarce in an absolute sense. Well-worn medium-gray surfaces show lighter color at the worn high points, as well as a handful of pinscratches. Population: 7 in 15, 60 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4)
1825/3 25C 'L' Counterstamp MS61 NGC. B-2, R.2. These quarters are a true numismatic enigma. Many have postulated theories about the E and L counterstamps on 1815 and 1825 quarters, but each theory has conspicuously lacked documentary evidence exactly why these pieces were counterstamped. An excellent summary of the various theories can be found on pages 354 to 357 of Steve Tompkins' new quarter reference. What is known is the first coin, an 1815 'L' counterstamp, appeared in a George Massamore sale, August 31, 1881. That is one of the few facts we know, and after that the questions begin.
As with most known counterstamped 1815 and 1825 quarters, this piece is in mint condition. (Why they are mostly Uncirculated brings up another question for the curious-minded). The fields have bright semireflectivity and each side is covered with variegated gray and rose toning. Numerous tiny, but individually insignificant abrasions are peppered over both sides. The devices are sharply struck, and there is a diagonal planchet flaw across the bottom of the L counterstamp.(Registry values: P2)

1833 25C AU55 PCGS. B-1, R.2. The two varieties for the year are easily distinguished; the B-1 has a period after the C in the denomination, while the B-2 does not. This lightly rubbed Choice AU coin shows rich peach-tan and ocean-blue peripheral toning that fades into silver-gray at the centers. Population: 9 in 55, 35 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1836 25C --Obverse Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. B-1, R.2. Light ivory surfaces with slightly deeper peripheral gold grace the obverse, while the reverse is untoned with frosty silver luster.(Registry values: P3)
1838 25C MS63 NGC. B-1, R.1. A lustrous Select Bust quarter from the final year of John Reich's Capped Bust design. Light almond-gold toning further confirms the originality. A well struck and pleasing type coin that is likely to witness spirited floor bidding. Census: 22 in 63, 23 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
Seated Quarters
1843 25C MS65 NGC. Peripheral brown and electric-blue patination is slightly deeper and more extensive on the obverse of this lustrous Gem. A well executed strike imparts sharp definition to the design elements, though the centrils of the first two stars are weak. The few minute marks are within the parameters of the designated grade. A difficult coin in Mint State. Census: 3 in 65, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1844-O 25C MS64 NGC. Orange and gunmetal-gray toning coats the minimally abraded surfaces. A few stars are slightly soft, but Liberty and the eagle are sharply defined. Although somewhat subdued on the obverse, the luster is brilliant on the reverse. Larry Briggs (1991) describes the 1844-O as High R.6 in Mint State, and the population data supports that claim. Census: 4 in 64, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
1853-O 25C Arrows and Rays AU50 NGC. Though lightly worn, this pale silver-gray piece offers remarkable reflectivity in the fields. Well struck save for the usual softness at the obverse stars. Census: 6 in 50, 34 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)
1853-O 25C Arrows and Rays AU50 PCGS. Still-flashy surfaces are pale silver-gray with glimpses of gold. Lightly rubbed with wispy abrasions in the fields, yet highly pleasing. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 16 in 50, 30 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)
1853-O 25C Arrows and Rays AU50 PCGS. Peach, plum, and silver-gray toning of varying intensity embraces this AU example; the color is deepest in an arc at the left obverse stars. Well-defined on Liberty's head but with slight striking softness elsewhere. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: P6)
1853-O 25C Arrows and Rays AU50 PCGS. Deep umber and orange peripheral elements appear intermittently on this briefly circulated Arrows and Rays O-mint quarter. The pale silver-gray fields are lustrous, though a pinscratch is noted to the right of Liberty.(Registry values: P6)
1853-O 25C Arrows and Rays AU53 PCGS. Dusky silver-gray and mauve shadings dominate this lightly circulated representative. Pleasingly detailed in the centers with few overt marks. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 9 in 53, 21 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)
1853-O 25C Arrows and Rays AU55 NGC. Luminous gold and peach shadings drape much of the otherwise silver-gray surfaces. A charming Choice AU coin that offers an above-average strike. Census: 7 in 55, 19 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)
1858 25C MS64 NGC. CAC. A pleasing No Motto Seated quarter with weak peripheral details but bold central design motifs. This frosty, lightly toned near-Gem is a desirable example for the date or type collector.(Registry values: P2)
1859 25C MS64 NGC. Orange-gold and lilac peripheral toning frames the nearly brilliant centers of this lustrous near-Gem. The strike is intricate, and there are no distracting marks. Census: 22 in 64, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1859 25C MS65 NGC. An amazing Gem, and seldom seen in such exceptional condition. This piece is brilliant and untoned with frosty silver luster. The surfaces have a few trivial marks, but overall it is highly desirable as one of the finest to escape circulation. Census: 7 in 65, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1862-S 25C --Cleaned--ANACS. AU50 Details. Only light wear affects the design elements of this Civil War-era San Francisco quarter. Moderately abraded surfaces are luminous pearl-gray with hairlines from a past cleaning.(Registry values: P6)
1868 25C MS62 PCGS. A pinpoint-sharp and smooth representative with satin luster and pastel steel-gray and caramel-gold toning. A mere 29,400 pieces were struck, since fractional currency drove silver out of circulation. Population: 4 in 62, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1868-S 25C MS62 NGC. San Francisco quarters of 1868 are seen infrequently and are quite rare in AU and above. Indeed, Larry Briggs (1991) assigns the issue a high R.6 rarity rating in Uncirculated grades. Frosty silver-gray surfaces exhibit well struck design elements except for minor softness in Liberty's hair and the adjacent stars. A few minor ticks are inconsequential. Census: 3 in 62, 8 finer (9/09).(Registry values: P7)
1869-S 25C --Cleaned, Scratched--ANACS. AU58 Details. This important quarter has minor obverse scratches and evidence of cleaning, yet it still displays excellent luster and bold design features. Most of the 76,000 coins minted are in lower circulated grades.(Registry values: P7)
1873-CC 25C Arrows VG8 PCGS. An important rarity in the Seated quarter series, and always in demand in every grade. This piece has pleasing light gray with splashes of deeper steel patina. The minor handling marks, scratches, and other imperfections on this piece are expected for a coin at the grade level, especially from the rough and tumble west. Population: 4 in 8, 27 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P9)
1874-S 25C Arrows MS66 PCGS. Examples of this issue are scarce in Mint State; most come from an old West Coast bank hoard of 80 to 100 pieces dispersed in 1949 (Larry Briggs, Liberty Seated Quarters, 1991, p. 186).
The present MS66 specimen is boldly struck. Only a couple of the right-side peripheral stars show a blunt strike in the centrils. Pleasing luster radiates from the silver-gray surfaces, accented on the obverse by blushes of light sunset-orange and by powder-blue on the reverse. A top-notch example of this scarce type coin. Population: 30 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)

Population: 30 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1874-S 25C Arrows MS66 NGC. Though it does not have so high a mintage as either of the With Motto, Arrows Philadelphia quarter issues, the 1874-S is as accessible or nearly so in better Mint State grades. At the Premium Gem level, however, its condition rarity is undeniable. This immensely lustrous survivor has a strong strike and dappled peach, rose, and lavender patina. Gorgeous eye appeal. Population: 30 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1874-S 25C Arrows MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1874-S is available in lower grades but extremely scarce in Mint State. This immensely lustrous Premium Gem survivor displays dappled peach, rose, and lavender patina. A solid strike delivers strong definition to the design features. Gorgeous eye appeal. Population: 30 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1874-S 25C Arrows MS67 NGC. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer example of this popular Arrows issue (10/09). This Superb Gem has pale gold and lavender accents above a light silver-gray base. Strongly detailed overall with practically unmarked surfaces and undeniable eye appeal. Ideal for the high-end type or date collector.(Registry values: P3)
1876 25C MS64 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Briggs 4-D. The 76 in the date is blatantly repunched south. Curiously unlisted in the Cherrypickers' reference, which instead lists several minor misplaced date varieties. Well struck and essentially brilliant with clean surfaces.(Registry values: P1)
1877 25C MS64 Prooflike NGC. A dazzling, deeply reflective Prooflike that at first glance appears to be a proof. The obverse has wide horizontal bands of rose, blue, and rose again, while the reverse is brilliant in the center with the same rose and blue color around the margin. Sharply struck.(Registry values: P1)
1877 25C MS65 NGC. CAC. Type Two Reverse with narrow feet on the A in STATES. This lustrous Gem has dappled orange-red and ocean-blue borders, although most of the coin is untoned. Sharply struck and refreshingly unabraded. A wonderful type coin.(Registry values: P1)
1877 25C MS67 NGC. Type Two Reverse. Frosty luster endows both sides of this lovely Superb Gem, and a well executed strike sharpens the design features. A few light ticks subtract nothing from the coin's great overall eye appeal. Larry Briggs (1991) writes that many were likely melted for new silver dollar coinage in 1878. Census: 29 in 67, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1877-CC 25C MS63 NGC. Russet and electric-blue toning assumes darker hues on the obverse of this Select quarter. A well directed strike imparts strong detail to the design elements. Lustrous surfaces reveal a few grade-defining marks.(Registry values: P2)
1877-CC 25C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Large CC. A delightful near-Gem, with only 48 PCGS submissions certified in higher grades. This lustrous piece has rich lime, gold, and sky-blue toning over light brownish-gray surfaces.(Registry values: P2)
1877-CC 25C MS64 PCGS. Large CC. Meticulously struck and highly lustrous with a well preserved and nearly stone-white appearance. A desirable addition to a Carson City type set.(Registry values: P2)
1879 25C MS67 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. An exceptional and Superb example of this limited production issue. The fields have a bright, semiprooflike sheen and the devices are heavily frosted, producing a sharp, two-toned contrast on each side. Brilliant throughout, the surfaces are essentially perfect, as one might expect from the grade.
Ex: FUN 2000 Auction (Heritage, 1/2000), lot 6657.(Registry values: P1)
Ex: FUN 2000 Auction (Heritage, 1/2000), lot 6657.(Registry values: P1)
1889 25C MS68 NGC. The 1889 Seated Liberty quarter is an overlooked issue along with the 1888, both members of a string of low-mintage emissions from late in the series. Only 12,000 coins were produced of the 1889 Seated quarter, but fortunately collectors of the era saved some nice examples, apparently aware of their small mintages. This MS68 coin is numerically tied for finest with two other MS68s (or were either of the others submitted twice?) and one MS68 Star coin (8/09). The mint luster enhances the rich toning seen on each side. The obverse is deep blue with rose accents around the margins. The reverse is much lighter with a pinkish-gray center that is surrounded by pale blue at the rim. Sharply defined and problem-free.(Registry values: P1)
1891 25C MS64 Prooflike NGC. This Choice final-year Seated quarter has smooth, flashy fields and a sharp strike. Faint almond-gold toning is slightly more prominent on the obverse. Census: 2 in 64 Prooflike, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1891 25C MS66 NGC. The final year of issue for the Seated Liberty design saw a production of nearly 4 million quarters in Philadelphia, but surprising is the low population for such a large mintage. This issue is a rarity in higher grades, especially as a Premium Gem. The pristine surfaces and full luster hides beneath incredible iridescent toning. Census: 28 in 66, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
Proof Seated Quarters
1862 25C PR64 PCGS. Vivid apple-green, ruby-red, and maroon toning dominates this lovely near-Gem. The fields are prominently reflective, and the strike is needle-sharp, even on Liberty's hair and the eagle's ankles. Only 550 proofs were struck for this Civil War date. Population: 35 in 64, 19 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1862 25C PR67 Cameo NGC. A stone-white Superb Gem with icy devices and darkly mirrored fields. The strike is meticulous aside from unimportant softness on stars 4 to 7. Examination beneath a loupe fails to locate any hairlines. Among the finest known survivors of this very scarce issue. Only 550 proofs were struck for this Civil War date. As of (10/08), only six proofs have been certified above the PR66 level by the major services, all as PR67 Cameo by NGC. Among those six proofs is the Eliasberg example, which brought $12,650 in our January 2008 FUN Signature.(Registry values: P3)
1863 25C PR63 Cameo PCGS. Icy devices rise above darkly reflective fields. Fully struck and close to brilliant with trivial field hairlines visible upon rotation beneath a light. The battle of Gettysburg, a future commemorative coin subject, was fought in 1863. Population: 5 in 63 Cameo, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1869 25C PR63 NGC. Ex: Richmond Collection. A glittering proof with fully mirrored fields. The obverse is mostly steel with splashes of iridescent toning, while the reverse is mostly iridescent, with some steel toning.(Registry values: P2)
1870 25C PR63 Cameo PCGS. Luminous devices provide noticeable contrast with mirrored fields. Medium mauve toning is relegated to the margins. Scarcer than suggested by its mintage of 1,000 pieces, since unsold examples were melted.(Registry values: P2)
1871 25C PR63 Cameo PCGS. Although a few faint lines and contact marks prevent a higher numerical grade, this 1871 quarter is a stunning piece with brilliant silver surfaces and traces of light gold toning. Population: 6 in 63 Cameo, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1873 25C No Arrows PR62 Cameo NGC. A mostly brilliant Cameo proof, this 1873 No Arrows quarter has bright, untoned centers with peripheral blue, rose, and violet toning. Census: 2 in 62 Cameo, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1873 25C Arrows PR64 PCGS. All the many coin issues of this epochal year in American numismatic history are much desired by legions of collectors. Only 540 proofs were made of the 1873 Arrows quarters, in contrast with the sizeable circulation strike production of 1.27 million coins. This exemplary piece displays untroubled nearly brilliant surfaces with considerable contrast. A nice type coin. Population: 31 in 64, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1876 25C PR63 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Type Two Reverse. Highly frosted devices stand out amidst the deep mirrored fields of this Select quarter. This well struck piece displays splashes of soft yellow-gold color, particularly on the obverse. Magnification reveals some light hairlines interspersed with die polish lines in the fields.(Registry values: P2)
1879 25C PR64 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Medium honey-gold toning deepens toward the rims and adds rose-red tints. Intricately struck and minimally hairlined with noticeable frost on the devices. Population: 72 in 64, 42 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1880 25C PR67 Cameo NGC. Type Two Reverse. A small proof mintage of 1,355 quarters was produced by the Philadelphia Mint in 1880. The dies were also used to strike regular-issue coins. Specimens at the PR67 Cameo level are quite rare. The present coin is a pristine example, with deeply impressed design elements that contrast boldly with the reflective fields to produce the coveted cameo effect. Census: 16 in 67 Cameo, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1882 25C PR64 PCGS. The mirrors shimmer faintly through deep, dusky toning. At the proper angle, gold-orange and deep blue hues appear, with the latter color largely near the rims.(Registry values: P1)
1882 25C PR66 NGC. This proof Seated quarter hails from the era of low-mintage business strikes, which exert added pressure on the proof issues. In 1882 the 1,100 proof quarters saw a complement of only 15,200 circulation coins. This Premium Gem proof shows moderate toning on both sides, a bit more intense on the obverse, where accents of blue and pinkish-gold appear under a light. The reverse centers are silver-white, with golden highlights. Neither side reveals any mentionable contact. Census: 39 in 66, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1882 25C PR67 NGC. This gorgeous Superb Gem proof has fully and deeply mirrored fields framing the brilliant and lustrous devices. Both sides have exquisite toning, the obverse bright gold, lilac, sky-blue, emerald-green, and olive-gold. The reverse has deeper green and turquoise toning. Census: 14 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1884 25C PR65 Cameo NGC. This pleasing Gem Cameo proof quarter has light silver at the center, with rings of gold, violet, blue, sea-green, amber, and lavender toward the borders. The toning display is truly impressive and highly desirable. Census: 9 in 65 Cameo, 23 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1885 25C PR66 Cameo NGC. This Premium Gem proof hails from near the end of the era of low-mintage business strikes, a situation precipitated by the mandates of the Bland-Allison Act providing for the coinage of millions of silver dollars. The 1885 quarter was made to the extent of only 930 proofs plus 13,600 circulation strikes. Good contrast is set up by frosty devices contrasting against reflective fields, with glimpses of pastel pink and blue more prominent on the obverse. Census: 15 in 66 Cameo, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1890 25C PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. The later proof Seated Liberty quarter issues are often praised for their high quality and their appearances in the upper grade levels, which make them appealing to the discerning type collector. The 1890 is one such issue, and with nine PR68 Ultra Cameo examples of the date graded by NGC and none finer (10/09), there is room for multiple numismatists to acquire it at that level while still maintaining an impressive degree of rarity. This coin offers stellar contrast between gleaming, profoundly reflective fields and the snow-white frost that coats the devices. Brilliant throughout.(Registry values: P1)
1891 25C PR64 Cameo PCGS. The final year of issue for the Seated Liberty design, and this piece represents the year with class. It is fully mirrored in the fields, with lustrous, frosty devices. The centers are untoned with excellent contrast, and the peripheries are toned in attractive magenta.(Registry values: P1)
Barber Quarters
1892 25C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Type One Reverse. Beautifully patinated in jade-green, cobalt-blue, and caramel-gold. Cartwheel luster sweeps across the undisturbed fields and devices. The strike is razor-sharp, even on such trouble spots as the right (facing) claw and the upper right shield corner. The 1892 was set aside as a novel type, but examples of the present quality are rare. Population: 19 in 67, 3 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1892 25C MS67 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Radiant luster and an exacting strike endow this splendid Superb Gem. Bluish-purple and sky-blue patina covering the obverse cedes to cobalt-blue, lavender, and golden-tan coloration at the reverse margin that frames the essentially untoned center. Both sides reveal impeccable preservation. Population: 19 in 67, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1894 25C MS66 NGC. Sage, gold, rose, and violet elements converge on this lustrous Premium Gem. An immensely appealing example of this little-saved Philadelphia issue. Census: 5 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1898 25C MS65 NGC. Walnut-tan, dove-gray, and sea-green consume this fully struck and unabraded Gem. A high mintage issue, but certainly challenging in such formidable quality. Census: 23 in 65, 19 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1900 25C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse. Lime-green, rose-gold, and pearl-gray shadings enrich this satiny and meticulously struck Gem. No contact is consequential. A desirable turn-of-the-century representative. Population: 27 in 65, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1900-O 25C MS64 NGC. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse. The gold-orange and rose shadings that drape the obverse show only as faint echoes on the otherwise silver-gray reverse. Strongly struck and attractive. Census: 22 in 64, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1901 25C MS67 NGC. The 1901 quarter, coming from a generous mintage approaching 9 million pieces, is an important condition rarity. It can be located with patience and searching in the lower levels of Mint State, but higher-grade examples are extremely challenging.
The Superb Gem offering in this lot is the finest certified example seen by either NGC or PCGS (10/09). Radiant luster jumps out at the observer, and both sides are draped in waves of gorgeous electric-blue, sea-green, lavender, orange, and golden-orange toning in the fields. This colorful display sets off the primarily silver-gray portrait of Liberty and the brighter silver-gold eagle. A well executed strike emboldens the design elements, leaving only the arrow feathers and adjacent claw with minor weakness. Immaculately preserved surfaces round out the coin's eye appealing attributes. This captivating piece will elicit spirited bidding among Barber enthusiasts and from those who simply desire to own the finest known of a condition rarity coin.(Registry values: N4719)

1901-S 25C Good 4 PCGS. Medium gray patina in the fields highlights the lighter gray devices on this key date representative. Liberty's lower ear shows as does part of the lower Y in LIBERTY, and the obverse rim is outlined. On the reverse, the letters RIB and first U of PLURIBUS UNUM are clear and most of the left and right shield sides are delineated from the eagle. The peripheral lettering is visible though parts of QUARTER DOLLAR are merged with the rim. Both sides are remarkably clean for a coin having seen heavy circulation. A perfectly acceptable coin for a low- to mid-grade Barber quarter collection.(Registry values: N2998)
1902-S 25C MS65 NGC. Blazing luster embraces each side of this magnificent Gem. The design elements are well struck except for the often seen weakness in the upper right shield corner, and whispers of barely discernible light tan patina make occasional visits to both sides. Light grade-consistent marks on the obverse do not distract. Census: 9 in 65, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1904 25C MS66 NGC. Impressive gold-orange patina dominates the central obverse, while the reverse shows a paler yellow echo. Both sides of this lustrous Premium Gem have varying shades of blue patina at the borders. Solidly struck with impressive visual appeal. Census: 4 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1907-O 25C MS65 NGC. This impressive Gem is sharply defined, unusual for the issue, with creamy white luster and frosty surfaces. Both sides have wisps of deeper gold toning adding to the overall eye appeal. Census: 18 in 65, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1907-S 25C MS64 PCGS. Intense luster endows this well preserved near-Gem. Sharply struck save for the usual minor softness on the upper right shield corner and on the arrow feathers. Reddish-gray freckles at the margins are slightly more extensive on the obverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 25C MS65 PCGS. The softly frosted luster of this well-defined Gem is silver-gray in the centers with deep crimson-amethyst and olive-tan shadings at the margins. Striking eye appeal. Population: 32 in 65, 16 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1908 25C MS66 NGC. Ebullient luster endows this lovely Premium Gem, complemented with sharply struck design elements. Soft yellow-gold, violet, sky-blue, and reddish patination bathes each side. A few light obverse marks do not detract. Census: 2 in 66, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1909-S 25C MS65 NGC. Bright brilliance in the centers with a touch of golden-tan at the rims. This well-defined Gem offers excellent eye appeal. Census: 9 in 65, 16 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1910-D 25C MS66 NGC. The current offering is a striking specimen. The lovely brilliant surfaces are enhanced by bright mint frost. This sharply detailed Premium Gem is only exceeded by a pair of examples that NGC has certified as MS67. The overall eye appeal is exceptional; this is truly a coin that the connoisseur will appreciate. Census: 7 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1913-S 25C Good 4 PCGS. Most notable for its extremely low mintage of only 40,000 pieces. For the collector of a circulated set, this is coin is worthy of consideration. The surfaces are original and light in color except for the darker accents around the devices. Evenly worn.(Registry values: N991)
1913-S 25C MS65 PCGS. By the time 1913 came around, collector awareness of mintmarks and low-mintage dates had risen considerably from the turn of the century, and so the 40,000 pieces that made up the 1913-S quarter issue were saved in quantity by contemporary numismatists and speculators. Still, the issue is conditionally rare in Gem and better grades. This MS65 survivor is attractively lustrous with pale gold and blue patina over light silver-gray surfaces. Both the central devices and the peripheral stars are pleasingly detailed. Population: 18 in 65, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1914 25C MS66 PCGS. Silver-gray lustrous surfaces display delicate blushes of lime-green and apricot-tan. The reverse is essentially immaculate, and the obverse has only distributed wispy contact. Sharply struck except for the usual soft upper right shield corner and arrow feathers. Population: 19 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).

1914 25C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Duckor. As the population data indicates, the 1914 is an extremely rare coin in Superb Gem, with only one other PCGS piece certified MS67, and none finer. We had the pleasure of handling the other piece in 2005, the only time we have previously offered a PCGS MS67 representative. The obverse of this Superb Gem has frosty silver luster with intermingled gold and forest-green toning over part of the surface. The reverse is entirely brilliant, and both sides have excellent design definition. Population: 2 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1914-S 25C AU53 PCGS. Lustrous silver-gray overall with distinct golden overtones. Modestly marked across each side with a few shallow pinscratches noted to the right of Liberty's lips. Population: 3 in 53, 71 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1915-D 25C MS65 NGC. Arcs of peach-gold adorn the left borders of this lustrous and impressively unabraded Gem. Nicely struck despite the minor blending customary on the fletchings and right shield corner.(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Barber Quarters
1894 25C PR66 Cameo NGC. Proof quarters of 1894, with a relatively high mintage of 972 pieces, are a common issue. Even Cameos are not all that scarce. The slightest wisps of gold color show up under high magnification on this Premium Gem. Moderate frost shows on the sharply struck motifs that are nicely highlighted by the mirrored fields. A few light grazes are undisturbing.(Registry values: N2998)
1897 25C PR64 Cameo NGC. CAC. The orange and green-gold toning that drapes the obverse shows up only in a ring around the reverse, leaving the center of that side nearly unpatinated. Strongly contrasted and delightful for the grade. Census: 12 in 64 Cameo, 40 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1899 25C PR67 Cameo NGC. Perusal of NGC/PCGS population data indicates that a fairly large number of the 846 proof quarters minted in 1899 have survived to the present day. Relatively few of these boast of a cameo finish, however. Splashes of cobalt-blue, lavender, orange, and champagne patina visit the impeccably preserved surfaces of this Superb Gem Cameo. Save for minor softness in the arrow feathers, the design features are sharply impressed. Census: 10 in 67 Cameo, 4 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1900 25C PR66 NGC. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse. Highlights of iridescent blue, aqua, and pinkish-gold appear underneath the deep toning when this piece is held under a light. The mintage of proof quarters was somewhat larger in 1900 than in the bookend years, perhaps because of the turn-of-the-century date. Sharply struck and ultimately pleasing. Census: 37 in 66, 23 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1901 25C PR65 NGC. This Gem has much eye appeal, with nearly untoned silver-white centers and rims displaying hues of amber, pink, and blue. A small void in the planchet at Liberty's jawline on the obverse is as made, and in any case is undistracting. Census: 43 in 65, 63 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1902 25C PR67 ★ NGC. Marvelous original toning on the obverse resolves under a light into lilac-pinkish central hues complementing the ocean-blue at the rims, while the reverse is nearly untoned silver-white in the center, with marginal glints of pink and gold. The single finest 1902 with Star designation at NGC, although three PR68s are technically finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1904 25C PR64 PCGS. Dappled blue-green, violet, and lavender-gray shadings embrace each side of this near-Gem proof. Crisply struck with just a few stray hairlines hidden under the toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1906 25C PR66 NGC. The brightly reflective surfaces show a significant amount of central brilliance, while the margins have speckled rose and blue toning. A splendid type coin.(Registry values: N2998)
1906 25C PR66 NGC. Peripheral gold, orange, and blue-violet elements fade to champagne and pale silver toward the centers. A sharp Premium Gem proof with a suggestion of contrast on both obverse and reverse. Great eye appeal for this issue of just 675 specimens. Census: 42 in 66, 34 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1909 25C PR68 NGC. Splashes of rainbow patina visit the bluish-violet surfaces of this Superb Gem proof and a decisive strike imparts sharp detail to the design elements. Virtually pristine surfaces serve to enhance the coin's captivating eye appeal even more. Census: 11 in 68, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1913 25C PR65 PCGS. Honey-gold and emerald-green alternate across this flashy and crisply struck Gem. Undisturbed and attractively patinated. A meager 613 proofs were issued. Population: 28 in 65, 40 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1913 25C PR66 Cameo NGC. A haze of soft beige-gold patina rests on both sides of this Premium Gem and a decisive strike lends bold detail to the design features, save for weakness in the upper right shield corner and the right (facing) claw and adjacent arrow feathers. The well preserved surfaces display strong field-device contrast. From a relatively low proof mintage of 613 pieces. Census: 7 in 66 Cameo, 11 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1914 25C PR63 PCGS. Housed in a green label holder, this lovely proof may qualify for the Cameo designation, with satiny devices and fully mirrored fields. Light gold toning deepens near the borders.(Registry values: N991)
1914 25C PR67 NGC. The 1914 proof quarter is famous for its low mintage of only 380 pieces. This carefully preserved example has deeply mirrored fields with lightly lustrous devices that yield a subtle cameo effect that is further enhanced by the coin's brilliance. Census: 17 in 67, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1914 25C PR64 Cameo NGC. Exactingly struck and unabraded with light to medium honey-gold toning. The obverse has a few pinpoint gray flecks. The lowest mintage proof of the type. A mere 380 proofs were struck, 70 pieces fewer than its closest competitor, the 1915.(Registry values: N1793)
Standing Liberty Quarters
1916 25C Good 6 PCGS. Here is an opportunity for the collector to acquire a 1916 Standing Liberty quarter at a modest price compared to the Mint State pieces that are on the market from time to time. The date is partially visible, with enough of the 6 present for positive identification. The reverse has some feather detail. Both sides are pleasing light silvery-gray with deeper steel toning outlining the devices.(Registry values: N1)
1916 25C --Artificial Toning--NGC. Unc Details. Despite the NGC assessment that this piece has artificial toning, it is an attractive example of the rare 1916 Standing Liberty quarter with full luster and delicate lilac toning on both sides. The strike is excellent with nearly full head and shield details on the obverse, and a bold eagle on the reverse.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 25C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. Lightly pebbled surfaces as often seen, with silver-gray color and traces of champagne toning. Somewhat weakly struck, but sharper than many we have seen. This is a pleasing and desirable 1916 quarter with a great deal of future potential.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 25C MS63 PCGS. On first judgment, Hermon MacNeil's design for the obverse of the Standing Liberty quarter was the only one accepted, with the prolific Adolph Weinman granted the reverse for that denomination; MacNeil was "awarded one-half design out of a possible three designs," as written by then-Mint Director Robert Woolley and quoted in Roger W. Burdette's Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921.
Later negotiations, however, also gave MacNeil the reverse design. These negotiations and other delays led to the extremely limited striking of the first-year 1916 issue, just 52,000 pieces. This Select coin is softly struck but beautifully lustrous with slightly textured surfaces in pale silver-gray. The overall eye appeal is impressive for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)

1917 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. CAC. A stunning, sharply struck Gem with the pebbled surfaces that are typical of the issue. Both sides are entirely brilliant with no evidence of toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1917 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. Booming luster and an unimprovable strike ensure the quality of this unabraded Gem. This briefly issued type coin is available in Mint State, but exemplary examples are always eagerly pursued.(Registry values: N1793)
1917 25C Type One MS66 Full Head NGC. Strong gray-gold luster with blue and violet tints visible at the margins. Crisply defined with great eye appeal, an excellent addition to a similarly toned type set.(Registry values: N1793)
1917 25C Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. A frosty Premium Gem, this quarter has exceptional design definition throughout, including a full head, complete shield, and bold bald eagle. Only a faint trace of champagne toning is visible over otherwise brilliant silver surfaces.(Registry values: N1793)
1917 25C Type One MS67 Full Head PCGS. An incredibly Superb Gem example of this popular issue. Powerfully lustrous surfaces exhibit soft silver-gray patina with nearly imperceptible hints of ice-blue and speckles of purple. A solid strike transcends the full head of Liberty to include crispness on the rivets, inner shield, and eagle's plumage. Beautifully preserved with noteworthy eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
1917-D 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. Bright luster embraces this exquisitely struck and well cared for D-mint representative. Color free except for a toning spot on Liberty's midsection.(Registry values: N1793)
1917-D 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. Ivory luster and full mint frost are hidden by speckled gold and iridescent toning on this pleasing Gem. The design elements are boldly detailed.(Registry values: N1793)
1917-D 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. A boldly defined Denver Mint Type One quarter with olive-gold toning and splashes of darker patina over frosty luster.(Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 25C Type One MS67 PCGS. The Hermon MacNeil Type One Standing Liberty quarter is among the small group of milestone coin issues from the early 20th century renaissance in U.S. coin design. This Superb Gem example is an opportunity to own a near-flawless example of MacNeil's original concept for the coin. NGC and PCGS have certified only four pieces in MS67, with none finer among non-Full Head examples (10/09). Appealing champagne-gold and silver-gray patina adorns the obverse; much of the reverse is brilliant, save for a dark crescent of reddish-brown on the left side. Crisply struck overall, as expected for this Type One issue, with a hint of satin on the obverse and powerful luster on the reverse.(Registry values: N4719)
1917 25C Type Two MS65 Full Head PCGS. Generally lightly toned, although the central reverse displays a swath of russet-brown. Unabraded fields and potent luster confirm the lofty technical grade. Well struck except for the base of the date and the usual three shield rivets near the waist.(Registry values: N991)
1917 25C Type Two MS66 Full Head NGC. Vibrant, slightly frosty luster with little toning on the silver-white surfaces. The strike is strong, not only on Liberty's head but her shield, where all the rivets are individually defined. Census: 42 in 66 Full Head, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1917-D 25C Type Two MS64 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Frosty surfaces exhibit soft violet patina which is deeper in hue on the reverse. Well struck in addition to the Full Head, including completeness on the vertical shield lines.(Registry values: N1793)
1917-D 25C Type Two MS66 Full Head NGC. The luster is strong and satiny on this extremely attractive Premium Gem. Boldly impressed, as should be expected for a Full Head piece, but the color is what distinguishes this example. Delicate rose, sage, and light blue shadings grace both sides. A gorgeous coin, practically faultless to the unaided eye. Census: 5 in 66 Full Head, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1918 25C MS67 NGC. CAC. A melange of reddish-gold, electric-blue, magenta, yellow-green, and soft violet patination displays deeper hues on the obverse of this highly lustrous piece. The date is better struck than usually seen, though the 1s are a tad soft at the bottoms. Both sides are impeccably preserved. Census: 3 in 67, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1918-S 25C MS67 NGC. CAC. A fully original Superb Gem with attractive peripheral gold toning over frosty pale yellow surfaces and ivory luster. The head, shield, and eagle's body are all weakly defined when compared to the other design definition. Census: 6 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1919 25C MS66 Full Head PCGS. This high mintage issue (over 11 million circulation strikes) is one of the most available Standing Liberty quarters with a Full Head. A veneer of champagne-gold color covers the lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem. The design elements exhibit the usually strong definition, with the exception of the typical weakness in the first digit of the date and the rivets adjacent to Liberty's hip. Nicely preserved throughout. Population: 63 in 66 Full Head, 12 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1920-S 25C MS64 Full Head PCGS. The gunmetal-gray surfaces display glimpses of tobacco-brown and sun-gold toning. Satiny and nicely struck with a problem-free appearance. This little-saved date is seldom encountered with full head detail, thus it is one of the semi-key issues in the series. Population: 29 in 64 Full Head, 22 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1920-S 25C MS64 Full Head NGC. Uncommonly bold detail for this often-weak San Francisco issue. Both sides offer soft, pleasing luster beneath delicate, dappled peach-gold and silver-blue patina. Modest flaws in the fields preclude a finer designation. NGC has certified a mere nine finer Full Head pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1921 25C AU58 PCGS. The 1921 is a widely recognized scarcity in the Standing Liberty series, and it is an issue that can be costly in mint condition. This piece gives the collector great value as it retains almost complete mint luster with just a touch of high point friction. Even gray-tan patina covers each side.(Registry values: N991)
1923-S 25C AU55 PCGS. The 1923-S and 1929-D have nearly identical mintages, but the former is much rarer. Presumably, rolls of the '29-D were saved, while there were fewer West Coast collectors. The present cream-gray Choice AU example has smooth surfaces and substantial luster.(Registry values: N991)
1923-S 25C MS63 PCGS. An important key issue in the Standing Liberty quarter series that is rarely found in Mint State, and especially difficult to find with brilliant, untoned silver surfaces. This lovely specimen will delight almost any collector with its exceptional eye appeal.(Registry values: N991)
1924-D 25C MS67 PCGS. The 1924-D is fairly common in Mint State without a Full Head. Premium Gem examples such as the present offering are another story, however. PCGS and NGC have certified only around 50 MS67s, and NGC has graded a solitary MS68. Radiantly lustrous surfaces display cobalt-blue, lavender, and orange patina at the borders, much more extensively so on the obverse. Well struck, except for the usual weakness on the date and rivets near the abdomen. Impeccably preserved throughout. Population: 9 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1924-S 25C MS64 PCGS. Subtle sunrise-gold and pink toning visits the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem. The head is well struck, if not full, and the rivets of the shield show only slight softness.(Registry values: N1793)
1925 25C MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. A delightful Premium Gem with pale olive-gold toning over frosty and lustrous silver surfaces. Housed in a green-label PCGS holder. Population: 52 in 66 Full Head, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1926-D 25C MS64 Full Head PCGS. CAC. A relatively available issue, but not at all so in MS64 Full Head, where this piece is one of 27 so certified at PCGS, with 29 finer (10/09). This lustrous silver-white piece shows amazing head definition, with sharp delineation of the hairline all the way down to the ear. A couple of the shield rivets are missing, and some interesting parallel marks on Liberty's torso appear Mint-made.(Registry values: N4719)
1926-D 25C MS65 Full Head NGC. A sharply struck Gem, this 1926-D quarter exhibits a full head, full date, and nearly complete shield. The bald eagle on the reverse is also nicely defined, with only slight weakness on the body. The surfaces are fully brilliant with frosty luster that shines through pale gold and iridescent toning.
Although a common date overall, most 1926-D quarters were poorly struck, and many Mint State pieces only show about half of the date. Sharply defined examples are 20th century rarities. Census: 7 in 65 Full Head, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)

1927-S 25C XF45 PCGS. Light silver surfaces with modest wear on the high points. An attractive Choice XF example, much finer than usually seen for this low-mintage date.(Registry values: N1793)
1928-D 25C MS67 NGC. An extraordinary Superb Gem, one of just 11 similar pieces that NGC and PCGS have certified, with none finer (10/09). Both sides have fully brilliant and untoned centers with bright luster, while the margins are toned in blue and gold. Census: 9 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1928-S 25C MS67 NGC. Dapples of gold color visit the radiantly lustrous surfaces of this beautiful Superb Gem. Sharply struck and nicely preserved. Census: 21 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1928-S 25C MS67 Full Head NGC. The 1928-S is a somewhat difficult 1920s S-mint to locate in Full Head. This Superb Gem Full Head also shows sharp detail in the vertical shield lines and in the chain mail. The radiantly lustrous silvery surfaces are nearly untoned save for the slightest hint of gold color on the lower left obverse margin. Census: 35 in 67 Full Head, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1929-S 25C MS67 Full Head NGC. Frosty, largely silver-white surfaces display faint hints of light tan patina. The surfaces are well-preserved, showing just one minuscule mark on the eagle's breast. Decidedly above-average definition for the issue, though slight softness is noted at the lower rivets of the shield. Census: 26 in 67 Full Head, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1929-S 25C MS67 ★ Full Head NGC. While this well struck piece meets the requirements for Full Head status, it is this Superb Gem's luster and toning that attract immediate attention. Blue-green, gold, and reddish-orange peripheral shadings give way to near-brilliant centers. NGC has graded just one numerically finer Full Head example (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1930 25C MS67 Full Head NGC. A splendid Superb Gem with exceptional design definition, including full head details and also nearly full shield and eagle definition. Both sides have ivory surfaces with frosty luster and gorgeous amber toning, accented through faint traces of pinkish-orange. Census: 28 in 67 Full Head, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1930-S 25C MS67 Full Head NGC. A colorfully toned Superb Gem that is attractively detailed overall, though a few of the lower rivets on the shield show softness. Deep, dappled blue-green, gold, and violet hues grace the shining, slightly frosty surfaces. NGC has graded only two finer Full Head examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Washington Quarters
1932-D 25C MS65 NGC. A veneer of champagne-gold patination bathes the radiantly lustrous surfaces of this key date Gem representative. Both sides yield a sharp strike and have been well cared for. The '32-D is more elusive in Mint State than its closest competitor, the 1932-S. Census: 18 in 65, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1932-S 25C MS64 PCGS. Light olive and cream-gray toning fails to diminish the vibrant cartwheel luster. A crisply struck near-Gem, well preserved with only minor grazes on the obverse border near 9 o'clock. The lowest mintage business strike issue, and secondary only to the vaunted 1932-D.(Registry values: N208)
1932-S 25C MS64 NGC. CAC. A fully brilliant and satiny near-Gem, this 1932-S is an excellent representative of the important key issue. Just 408,000 were struck, the lowest mintage of any Washington quarter.(Registry values: N208)
1934 25C Doubled Die Obverse MS62 NGC. FS-101, , formerly FS-009. The bold obverse doubling is visible at the date, motto, and LIBERTY, with the most easily viewed doubling at IN GOD WE TRUST. This piece is fully brilliant with frosty silver luster.(Registry values: P1)
1936 25C MS68 ★ NGC. Lovely color evenly surrounds silvery centers on this sparking Superb Gem, with canary, gold, amber, and lilac hugging the rim. Bountiful satin luster radiates from both sides, and the surfaces are essentially devoid of contact, as expected. A memorable coin for the finest Registry Set.(Registry values: N1793)
1938-S 25C MS67 PCGS. A brilliant and essentially pristine Superb Gem of this early branch mint issue, ideal for the competitive Registry collector. Population: 34 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
1940-D 25C MS67 NGC. CAC. DDO-005. IN GOD WE TRUST exhibits minor die doubling. Honey-gold and aqua visit here and there, but this lustrous and nearly pristine Superb Gem is close to brilliant. Census: 38 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
Proof Washington Quarters
1936 25C PR66 NGC. The first year of the proof Washington quarter series, and perennially popular as such, due in part to the low mintage of 3,837 proof quarters. This Premium Gem proof offers silver centers with accents of copper radiating outward. Generous luster emanates from beneath the light patina. NGC has certified only 20 examples finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1936 25C PR66 NGC. Luminous surfaces display nearly imperceptible whispers of ice-blue and beige-gold. Some wispy hairlines interspersed with die polish lines in the obverse field appear under a loupe.(Registry values: N991)
1952 25C PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. An outstanding Superb Gem specimen with amazing contrast for the early post-World War II proof era. The fields are essentially brilliant, and while the frost on the exactingly struck devices is moderate rather than thick, the resulting cameo effect is impressive. Census: 4 in 67 Ultra Cameo, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1954 25C PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. Fantastic eye appeal greets the observer of this untoned Superb Gem. Well struck design elements appear to float over deep watery fields. Immaculately preserved throughout. Census: 15 in 68 Ultra Cameo, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1958 25C PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. Darkly mirrored fields contrast with luminous devices. Fully struck and flawless. Proof 1958 quarters are plentiful, but few pieces exhibit substantial cameo contrast. Census: 8 in 68 Ultra Cameo, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
1981-S 25C Type Two PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. The Type Two 1981-S is the scarcer variety and is identified by the bulbous upper serif of the mintmark. Captivating deeply mirrored fields show spectacular cameo contrast against the frosted devices. An unimprovable specimen that would be a perfect addition to a Registry Set. Population: 23 in 70 Deep Cameo (10/09).(Registry values: N208)
Early Half Dollars
1795 50C 2 Leaves--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. VG Details. O-110, R.3. Both sides have attractive light gray surfaces with pale blue highlights. Minor imperfections on each side are consistent with the grade. Cleaned, but not obviously so.(Registry values: N991)
1795 50C 2 Leaves--Obverse Planchet Defect, Damaged, Cleaned--ANACS. Fine 15 Details. O-119, R.4. The familiar die lump above the final star aids attribution. A small but rough obverse planchet defect is noted between 12 and 1 o'clock. The obverse rim is bruised at 9 o'clock, and a brief scratch is present above the bridge of the nose. The slate-gray surfaces are moderately granular and a bit bright from cleaning.(Registry values: N1793)
1795 50C 2 Leaves VF25 NGC. O-125, R.4. Star 15 joins the bust just below the bust point, and the reverse has a recut leaf below the N. The present piece is nearly equal to the Overton plate coin for sharpness and surfaces. The fields are dark gray with gunmetal-blue toning, while the devices are lighter silver-gray.(Registry values: N2998)
1795 50C 2 Leaves VF30 PCGS. O-102, R.4. Strong detail remains for the grade, and the smooth surfaces have deep blue-gray patina on both sides. Some die cracks of O-102a are present, but extremely weak. This example is apparently just outside the low end of the Condition Census for the variety.(Registry values: N2998)
1795 50C 2 Leaves AU58 NGC. O-104, R.4. An obverse with the lowest curl close to (but not touching) star 1 is paired with a 10x7 berries reverse. Another noteworthy obverse die marker is the cracking through LIBERTY. A near-Mint representative of this popular issue, from the second and last year of the Flowing Hair half dollar design. Dappled gold-orange toning elements grace much of each side, and the reverse rims show hints of lavender and peach. Well struck with only a touch of rub visible on the highest design elements and considerable luster in the fields. Strongly appealing with only a few small digs present, most noticeably between STATES and OF on the reverse.(Registry values: N4719)
1795 50C 3 Leaves Fair 2 PCGS. O-111, High R.4. The obverse is worn nearly smooth with only the head visible, although it is fully outlined. The eagle, wreath, and lettering are all visible on the reverse, including slight feather detail in the left facing wing. The surfaces are smooth with medium gray patina over gold toning.(Registry values: N1)
1795 50C Small Head VG8 PCGS. O-128, R.5. The Small Head variety with the T in LIBERTY recut at its base. The obverse and reverse dies are both unique to this scarce variety. Pleasing light to medium gray surfaces have faint adjustment marks on the obverse, and a couple old scratches on the reverse, the latter of no concern to the graders at PCGS.
1801 50C VF20 PCGS. O-101, R.3. Only two varieties are known for this date, and both share the same obverse. The reverse is distinguished by the first A in AMERICA, which does not touch the eagle's feathers. Medium-gray patina covers both sides, with lighter toning on the high points. A number of die defect lumps are visible throughout the reverse. Evenly worn with no detracting marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1803 50C Large 3 AU50 ICG. O-101, R.3. Attributed by large 3 with vertical serif, 1 touching curl, five berries, and 12 arrows. Golden-russet, sky-blue, and olive-green adorn this minimally abraded Draped Bust half. Luster shimmers from the hair, shield, plumage, and borders. Light wear on the jaw and shoulder confirms brief circulation, but the devices display pleasing definition.(Registry values: N2998)
1806 50C Pointed 6, No Stem VF35 PCGS. CAC. O-109, R.1. Light gray surfaces are blushed with soft lavender. This is a well defined Choice VF with no mentionable contact marks.
1806 50C 6 Over Inverted 6 VF20 PCGS. Ex: Meyer Collection. O-112, R.4. Lavender-gray fields contrast with lighter slate-gray device highpoints. Thin marks are noted on the upper reverse stars, the N in UNITED, and the wing above the left scroll end. Charlton Meyer formed the only known complete die variety set of Bust halves.(Registry values: N1793)
1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem AG3 NGC. O-127a, R.7. An extremely important example with natural medium and dark gray surfaces. The variety is rated R.7, and probably about 10 exist in all grades. This piece has smooth and problem free surfaces, a remarkable representative for the grade.(Registry values: N1)
1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem XF40 PCGS. O-115, R.1. The TY in LIBERTY are boldly repunched, and the base of the first T in STATES is also doubled, identifying this plentiful variety. Both sides are deeply toned in gold and steel, with lighter gray on the reverse devices.(Registry values: N1793)
1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem AU53 PCGS. O-119a, R-3. The closely spaced, high date, and weakness at the curls are characteristics of obverse 10-s2. The five berries, with the lowest one lacking a stem, and the die break at the top of ED ST through ATES are diagnostics of reverse O-s2. The marriage of these two dies creates the scarce O-119a variety. The example offered here shows slight wear on the high points of the design and few abrasions for the grade. Design elements are strongly impressed, except in areas of diagnostic weakness.(Registry values: N2998)
1806 50C Pointed 6, Stem MS63 PCGS. O-115a, R.1. The variety is confirmed by the recut T and Y of LIBERTY and the five berries on the reverse, the lowest of which has no stem. As Overton describes, the crack at the bottom of the date becomes sharper and branches into two cracks at the left, one passing below stars 1 to 3, the other going through stars 1 to 5. A crack has developed at the top of STATES but does not progress downward to join UNITED, as Overton indicates that it should. Some Bust half specialists suggest that no such advanced crack exists.
Dusky golden-gray toning displays splashes of cobalt-blue and lavender on the reverse. The design elements are well impressed and nicely centered on the planchet, and the dentilation is complete and strong on both sides. No adjustment marks are visible.(Registry values: N4719)

Bust Half Dollars
1807 50C Large Stars, 50 Over 20 AU53 NGC. O-112, R.1. The engraver blundered and punched a 2 rather than a 5 at the bottom reverse, then corrected the error, creating the variety. Blended tan-brown, gunmetal-gray, and aqua-blue toning embraces this well detailed Bust half. The subdued surfaces have relatively few marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1807 50C Large Stars, 50 Over 20 AU55 NGC. O-112, R.1. A popular variety with the denomination 50 punched over a previous 20. Remnants of the original 2 are especially noticeable just to the left of 5. This is a lustrous example that has heavy flow is seen around the margins. The striking details are strong throughout and there are just a tiny contact marks on each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1807 50C Large Stars, 50 Over 20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. O-112, R.1. The reverse is blundered with the 5 in the denomination cut over a misplaced 2. This delightful piece has nearly full luster with only a trace of high point wear. Both sides are completely and attractively toned in golden brown, with highlights of turquoise and gold.(Registry values: N1793)
1807 50C Capped Bust, Large Stars AU50 NGC. O-114, R.3. The attribution is easy, aided by the die defect lumps visible beneath the 7 on the obverse and the two lowest arrowheads joined on the reverse. Substantial pewter-gray color on the obverse is accented by deeper peripheral gold with similar color across most of the reverse. Some luster remains, but it is subdued by the toning. This is an elusive Guide Book variety, and the 1807-1808 First Style Capped Bust half dollars are an important two-year subtype, as the portrait and eagle were remodeled with the 1809 coinage.
1808 50C AU55 NGC. O-106a, R.2. Recutting on the E in AMERICA attributes this collectible marriage. The peripheries display vibrant luster, and marks are trivial save for faint abrasions above the eagle's head.(Registry values: N991)
1809 50C Normal Edge MS65 NGC. O-106, R.3. The Normal Edge variant. Since the obverse die used to strike this variety is quite similar to the O-104 die, it is easiest to attribute O-106 by observing key characteristics of the reverse die; the N in UNITED is recut and a long, heavy engraver's scratch extends diagonally from the right corner of the shield into the eagle's right (facing) wing. A heavy die break connects all stars on the left side of the obverse confirming the variety.
It was formerly believed that the finest known example of this variety is the Eliasberg specimen--an NGC-certified MS65 coin that was last sold as lot 16 of Bowers and Merena's January 1999 Orlando sale. Steve Herrman's Autumn 2009 edition of Auction Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars lists the Eliasberg piece as "Finest ?" However, in this edition he lists this piece as the number one example.
As with most certified Bust halves, the variety is not noted on the label, therefore the NGC Census Report is of limited use. However, grouping all varieties and edge types together, only eight 1809 halves have been graded at the MS65 level, with just two finer pieces--both graded as MS66 (10/09). Soft rose and golden hues evenly blanket both sides of this lustrous Gem. The strike is bold--for the issue--and the overall eye appeal is memorable.(Registry values: N4719)

1810 50C MS65 NGC. O-109, R.3. In practice, 1810 half dollars are attributed by reverse characteristics. Ten die varieties are known from nine obverse dies and 10 reverse dies. Only the obverse of O-102 and O-103 is shared. The reverse of O-109 has several horizontal crossbars extend to the right of the shield, and two lines of vertical stripe 6 extend beyond the lower shield border. The reverse is rotated about 45 degrees clockwise. Both sides have frosty luster beneath rich autumn-brown and sea-green toning. Although not a full strike, the design definition is sharper than usual. While a few grade-limiting blemishes occur on each side, the surfaces are exceptional for the grade. Listed as the finest known O-109 in Stephen Herrman's Autumn 2009 list of his Auction Prices Realized.(Registry values: N1)
1812 50C MS64 PCGS. O-104b, R.6 (?). The Overton reference describes 1812 O-104 in an early die state, and O-104a in a later die state, but does not mention the terminal die state that is now called "O-104b," according to Stephen Herrman in his Autumn 2009, Number 35 Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized, who suggests that it might be Rarity-6.
The requirements of O-104a include "fine die cracks at NITED and top of STATES. Another fine crack from olive leaves across eagle and scroll to OF." These reverse cracks are all present on the present coin, a lustrous near-Gem example with light gold toning and peripheral sky-blue and lavender accents. Well cared for surfaces exhibit sharply struck design elements.
The additional requirement of O-104b, as Herrman describes, is an obverse die crack from the top of the 1 across the bust to star 1. The obverse die crack on the present coin is immediately obvious to the naked eye.(Registry values: N2998)

1814/3 50C XF45 PCGS. O-101, R.2. Dove-gray and golden-brown with hints of jade-green near the rims. Traces of luster illuminate design crevices, and the only remotely mentionable abrasions are the few faint thin marks on the field near the right (facing) wing.(Registry values: N491)
1814/3 50C AU53 PCGS. O-101a, R.2. The late die state with crack through the lower part of UNITED and into STATES. Light gold-gray color prevails on this still-lustrous overdated half, though deeper yellow and violet hues are noted close to the rims. A strong example of this popular Guide Book variety.(Registry values: N991)
1814 50C MS63 PCGS. O-104, R.3. The present piece is an intermediate die state that shows some, but not all, of the cracks of O-104a. It has tremendous eye appeal through a combination of frosty silver luster and lovely blue, gold, ivory, and iridescent toning. Mint State early half dollars are becoming more elusive with every passing month or year.(Registry values: N1793)
1815/2 50C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Extremely Fine Details. O-101, R.2. From a low mintage of 47,150 pieces, the 1815/2 Bust half dollar was on the want list of most 19th century numismatists. Only one variety is known for the year and the issue is highly sought after. The underdigit 2 can be detected with light magnification. Moderate, even wear is evident on the surfaces of this attractive specimen and multiple clash marks show on the fields.(Registry values: N1793)
1817/3 50C PCGS Genuine. O-101, R.3. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned. Lightly cleaned, but otherwise an excellent example of the popular overdate variety. Light silver surfaces have wisps of peripheral gold toning.

Ex: Al Overton (1/1963), lot 1133.
1817/3 50C AU53 PCGS. O-101, R.3. This is a popular overdate both as one of the most obvious in the Bust half series, with the 3 bold under the 7, but also as one of the most "widely separated" overdates, with four intervening years between the under- and overdigits. This piece shows no sign of the reverse die crack that characterizes the O-101a, and as such it is a scarcer die state. Medium steel-gray surfaces on this piece offer a nice original look, with considerable luster remaining and good appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
1817/3 50C AU55 NGC. CAC. O-101a, R.2. The typical die crack from the edge through ME, wing tip, arrow shafts, denomination, and olive leaves is present. The die lump below star 13 is pronounced, as is the underdigit 3 beneath the 7. This piece offer rather deeply toned grayish-gold surfaces, with contrasting lilac tinted high points, an appealing original appearance. Certified in an old-style NGC holder, this coin should neatly fill the bill as an excellent example of this popular overdate. Census: 14 in 55, 31 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1817 50C MS63 PCGS. O-112a, R.2. A late state with extensive clash marks and a die crack that runs through the olive leaves and up through UNITED ST(ATES). Gold-orange and silver-gray elements mingle on the lustrous surfaces of this well struck Select example. Strong eye appeal. For coins not specifically attributed, Population: 19 in 63, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1818 50C MS62 NGC. O-114, R.3. A scarce variety distinguished by a recut star 1 on the obverse and an E in STATES that is higher than the letters on either side. This unworn, well struck representative has soft, swirling luster beneath rich stone-gray and almond-gold patina.(Registry values: N1793)
1819 50C AU58 NGC. O-108, R.3. A scarce variety distinguished by the wide date on the obverse and the recutting on the 5 on the reverse. Lustrous surfaces have light apricot and silver-gray toning overall, and the well struck devices show only a touch of rub.(Registry values: N491)
1820/19 50C Square Base 2 MS66 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg/Kaufman. O-101a, R.3. A later die state with the overdate features becoming less distinct but they are still clearly visible. The reverse has a faint die crack across the lower pair of olive leaves on this later die state. The N in UNITED also has a tiny die chip in its right angle.
Two different obverse dies were overdated in preparation for the new coinage of 1820. The first had the 1 overpunched with a Square Base 2 punch, while the second, O-102, had the 1 altered with a Curve Base 2 punch. Other 1820 obverse dies have a similar Square Base, Curl Top 2, except larger in size. Just six obverse dies were produced for half dollars in 1820, and they were made from four completely different punches for the digit 2.
The present piece is almost certainly the finest existing 1820/19 overdate half dollar. The surfaces are frosty with light gold toning and peripheral iridescence.

1822 50C MS63 PCGS. O-113, R.3. The second T in STATES is low, and the right foot of the R in AMERICA is slightly above the I. Charming rose accents grace the perimeter of this mostly brilliant representative, with a thin line of toning across the obverse. Well struck with attractive luster.(Registry values: N1793)
1824 50C MS62 NGC. O-117, R.1. A satiny cream-gray Bust half with hints of light tan toning near the rims. Refreshingly unabraded, and the strike is sharp save for the obverse dentils near 10:30.(Registry values: N1793)
1824 50C MS64 PCGS. O-116, R.3. Glenn Peterson notes a diagonal die line near the upper left border of the shield, and this definitively attributes the Overton marriage. A splendidly smooth near-Gem that has vivacious luster and a hint of golden patina. Well struck except for the right-side stars. Population: 49 in 64, 16 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1825 50C MS61 NGC. O-111, R.3. Dramatic recutting of the denomination establishes the variety identification of O-111. A lovely Mint State piece, this half dollar shows satiny luster with medium blue, mauve, and yellow-gold toning. Well struck throughout.(Registry values: N991)
1826 50C MS61 NGC. O-116a, R.1. A later die state with cracking through most of the reverse periphery. Light golden-tan and silver-gray elements mingle on the lustrous surfaces.(Registry values: N991)
1826 50C MS62 NGC. O-117a, R.2. The later die state with a die crack across the lower right reverse periphery. This satiny example features dusky olive-gray toning, and the strike is bold aside from the stars. Surprisingly free from abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1826 50C MS63 PCGS. O-116a, R.1. A late die state without many of the obverse die markers, but the die cracks through the reverse are diagnostic. Lustrous gold-gray centers give way to blue elements near the rims.(Registry values: N1793)
1826 50C MS64 PCGS. O-104, R.3. A deeply toned golden-brown half dollar with peripheral steel patina. This example is sharply struck and exhibits excellent luster. The toning is lighter on the reverse and the overall look is pleasing. PCGS has only certified 37 finer examples, including all varieties (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1826 50C MS64 PCGS. O-111, R.2. Splashes of peach-gold enrich this lustrous and impressively unabraded near-Gem. A few stars lack intricate centrils, but the strike is otherwise excellent. O-111 can be identified by its distinct obverse peripheral die cracks. An excellent addition to a variety, date, or silver type set.(Registry values: N2998)
1826 50C MS65 NGC. O-118a, R.1. Ruby-red, orange-gold, and navy-blue enrich the borders of this lustrous Gem, which presumably spent years reposing in a Wayte Raymond-style holder. Those folders contained sulphur within the cardboard, which originally toned the rims of any inserted silver coins. The present magnificent example has unabraded surfaces and a decidedly above average strike.(Registry values: N4719)
1827 50C Square Base 2 XF45 ANACS. O-144, High R.5. The obverse has a small point or tine from the end of the drapery, and the reverse has several vertical shield lines extending into the horizontal lines. This is a rare variety with a single Mint State coin and possibly eight to 10 that grade XF or AU, including the present piece. It has pleasing silver-gray surfaces with faint gold toning and traces of luster.(Registry values: N491)
1829/7 50C MS62 PCGS. O-101a, R.1. Really an 1829/1827, since all four digits show recutting. This satiny example has pearl-gray, ice-blue, and almond-gold toning. Impressively devoid of marks, and truly scarce in such quality, although pieces in grades through XF are fairly plentiful. Population: 9 in 62, 24 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1831 50C MS63 PCGS. Ex: Meyer Collection. O-103, R.1, identified by light recutting on the stand of the 5 in the denomination. Also, the usually seen fine die crack is visible at the base of the date. A medley of cobalt-blue, orange-gold, and lavender patina graces the obverse, while the reverse is nearly color free. Lustrous surfaces are well struck and minimally marked.(Registry values: N1793)
1831 50C MS64 NGC. O-110, R.2. A small tine appears above the R in LIBERTY, and on the reverse, the A in STATES is rotated clockwise. Bright luster with minimal toning for a Bust half. Both sides show a degree of striking weakness, and on the reverse, the letters URI of PLURIBUS are partially filled-in.(Registry values: N2998)
1831 50C MS65 PCGS. O-119, R.3. Golden-brown and powder-blue dominate this shimmering and exceptionally preserved Gem. Peripheral elements show inexactness of strike, but the major devices are well defined. Desirable in such quality, and housed in a green label holder. Population: 49 in 65, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1832 50C Small Letters MS64 NGC. O-110, R.1. The Spiked Cap obverse, seen on a few examples of O-109 and all examples of O-110. This near-Gem is fully lustrous with satiny surfaces and bold design motifs. It is surprisingly well detailed for a pre-steam power coin. Both sides have pale violet toning with peripheral sky-blue.(Registry values: N2998)
1833 50C MS63 PCGS. O-112, R.2. The recutting on star 10 identifies the variety. Dusky sage and gold-gray elements prevail on this lustrous piece, though the top of the eagle's head shows deep silvery color instead.(Registry values: N1793)
1833 50C MS65 PCGS. O-102, R.1. Star 1 is widely recut near its northeast point, and the 5 in the denomination has a broad stubby top. Sky-blue and purple gravitate to the obverse margin, leaving the center mostly golden-gray, while splashes of deep olive-green occupy the reverse border. Nicely struck save for some weakness in the horizontal shield lines. Both sides display pleasing luster and are minimally marked. Population: 16 in 65, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1833 50C MS65 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. O-109, R.3. Perfect die state. This variety is characterized by a single-use reverse that shows a die defect line from the right base of I to C in AMERICA. While not visible in the NGC encasement, the Eliasberg catalog notes that the edge has OR and HALF together, a problem that was frequently encountered with the Castaing machine. The Castaing machine imparted edge ornamentation, and sometimes produced blundered edge inscriptions.
The surfaces are smooth, satiny, and unblemished. An indent in the left obverse field is the eagle's wing from die clashing. The silvery-gray patina shows a slight undertone of red on each side. A lovely, well-balanced example. Stephen Herrman's latest ranking for Bust halves has this piece listed as "Finest Known?" and we believe if it is not the finest, it is certainly tied for finest.

1834 50C Large Date, Large Letters MS61 NGC. O-101, R.1. The obverse has Liberty's forecurl joined to form one solid piece, rather than the usual separate curls. This pleasing piece has satiny luster beneath gray and gold toning with faint traces of blue.(Registry values: N991)
1834 50C Large Date, Large Letters MS63 PCGS. O-101, R.1. Distinguished by a joined forecurl on the portrait and recutting on the stem of the 5. Deep bluish-purple coloration in the centers is flanked by yellow-green and cobalt-blue at the peripheries. Well struck save for the usual softness in the stars. Devoid of significant marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1834 50C Large Date, Small Letters MS63 PCGS. O-106, R.1. This is a repunched date variety, with a large 4 punched over a small 4. Both sides have brilliant and frosty silver luster with wispy champagne toning. Only a few trivial marks prevent a higher grade.
1836 50C Lettered Edge--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Extremely Fine Details. O-105, R.3. Incorrectly described as an O-121 on the holder. The 1836 Lettered Edge Bust half was produced in large numbers, as the denomination was a workhorse in the contemporary economy. The present coin represents the scarce O-105 variety, distinguished by a group of corrugated vertical bars at the reverse rim, between the leaves and 50 C, and a gap in the dentils above Liberty's cap, which separates it from the O-121. The devices retain much original detail, and the surfaces are enhanced by iridescent shades of crimson, lilac, and blue.(Registry values: N208)
1836 50C Lettered Edge MS62 NGC. O-106, R.1. Per Overton, "This reverse is the only reverse in the lettered edge series that has a raised edge with beaded segments." Lightly toned in gold and sky-blue tints. Satiny and bagmark-free with a faint retained lamination near star 10.(Registry values: N1793)
1836 50C Lettered Edge MS63 PCGS. O-104a, R.2. The die crack circling the inner design on the reverse identifies the variety and die state. Medium gray patination on the obverse cedes to yellow-green and bluish-gray on the reverse. Nicely struck, and housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1836 50C Lettered Edge MS65 PCGS. O-101a, R.1. Several stars are lightly recut, most noticeably on star 6. Rich golden-brown and green-gray shadings endow this coruscating and unmarked Gem. The borders are well struck, while the centers show minor inexactness. Population: 10 in 65, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
Reeded Edge Half Dollars
1836 50C Reeded Edge MS63 PCGS. The 1836 Reeded Edge half dollar is an important and scarce transitional issue with slightly modified design elements on both sides, and with a reeded edge rather than the usual lettered edge. It is also the first U.S. coinage issue that was struck with steam power. A quick glance suggests a coin that is substantially finer than the grade suggests, and only close examination reveals the few minor marks that limit the grade. Both sides are brilliant silver-white with faint traces of wispy champagne toning. The surfaces display frosty luster, and the design elements are boldly detailed. Population: 7 in 63, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1837 50C MS61 NGC. Muted rose and gold shadings drape luminous silver-gray surfaces. Well struck with few overt abrasions. The reverse shows several die cracks, with one passing through the D in UNITED on to the eagle's wing the most prominent.(Registry values: N1793)
1837 50C MS62 PCGS. Apple-green and golden-brown drape this satiny and precisely struck representative. The 50 CENTS type was only coined for two years, and the rarity of the 1836 leads to substantial type demand for the 1837.(Registry values: N1793)
1837 50C MS62 NGC. Essentially untoned save for a light purplish-tan reverse toning streak, the lustrous surfaces display a frosty texture and reveal just a few minute obverse marks. A solid strike imparts strong detail to the design features. A die crack travels through the lower left reverse border. Attractive for the designated grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1837 50C MS64 NGC. A strongly struck, impressively lustrous near-Gem example from the more available of two years which showed the Capped Bust obverse and the reverse with 50 CENTS. The peach and orange shadings that visit the subtly frosted centers give way to violet and blue near the rims. A small spot of deeper toning is noted on the rim at star 1.(Registry values: N2998)
1838 50C AU58 PCGS. Delicate silver-blue accents visit the otherwise silver-white surfaces. A touch of friction affects the well struck portrait, but the overall eye appeal is strong. A light die crack passes between stars 2 and 3, curving down toward the bust.(Registry values: N991)
1838 50C MS61 NGC. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. On this luminous and suitably struck piece, peripheral electric blue peripheral toning fades to lavender and golden-brown toward the centers. A few light abrasions are seen on Liberty's cheek and neck.(Registry values: N1793)
1838 50C MS61 NGC. This two year type (1838-1839) shows HALF DOL. on the reverse. Whispers of soft grayish-tan patina run over the luminous surfaces of this MS61 example. Nicely struck, and revealing just a few minuscule handling marks.(Registry values: N1793)
Seated Half Dollars
1839 50C Drapery MS61 NGC. A sharply struck and brilliant 1839 Drapery half dollar, this example has excellent surfaces and luster for the grade. It is an appealing piece that will easily meet the desires of most specialists.(Registry values: N991)
1852-O 50C VF35 PCGS. A slate-gray example of this better New Orleans issue, struck during a time when silver coins were widely melted as their bullion value exceeded face. The fields are subdued and appear free from abrasions.(Registry values: N491)
1853 50C Arrows and Rays MS63 NGC. An impressive Select Mint State example of the one-year Arrows and Rays type. This piece has bold design definition on both sides, with brilliant, untoned silver luster. Issued in conjunction with the February 1853 Mint Act, with a slightly reduced weight to promote circulation of silver coins in an economic climate of increased silver prices.(Registry values: N2998)
1853 50C Arrows and Rays MS64 NGC. Brilliant and lustrous with exceptional eye appeal, this Choice Mint State piece is boldly defined, including sharp clash marks. The Arrows and Rays half dollars were only struck in 1853, and those that survive are in great demand from specialists and type collectors. This piece is a highly attractive and will serve the needs of most any collector.(Registry values: N4719)
1853-O 50C Arrows and Rays AU55 ANACS. Peripheral tan tints visit otherwise pale silver-gray surfaces that are surprisingly bright despite light wear. Minor abrasions and small digs in the obverse fields contribute to the grade. Housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: N991)
1854-O 50C Arrows MS64 PCGS. CAC. The antebellum O-mint production of this issue was a generous quantity in excess of 5.2 million coins, and with the Arrows feature to boot, the issue is frequently pursued for type coin purposes. According to Seated half expert Bill Bugert, there are 55 obverse dies and 33 reverse dies known for the issue, and some "interesting and rare" die marriages exist. This piece shows a network of obverse die cracks connecting stars 1-3 and 5. Numerous reverse cracks also appear. Generous luster covers silver-white surfaces that are considerably finer than most specimens seen; those usually top out around Choice AU, even though the finest certified are a couple of coins in MS68.(Registry values: N2998)
1856-S 50C XF45 PCGS. Deep bluish-gray surfaces are accented with yellow-gold and exhibit well defined devices. Both sides are quite clean for a coin having experienced some circulation.(Registry values: N991)
1859 50C MS64 PCGS. Type One Reverse. A brilliant near-Gem that exhibits ample luster and has only a few unimportant field marks. Well struck at the centers, with some softness seen on Liberty's hair and the nearby stars. Population: 12 in 64, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1859-O 50C MS63 PCGS. Potent luster and light streaks of chestnut-tan toning ensure the originality of this lovely Select antebellum half. The strike is sharp except for the stars near Liberty's head. Population: 19 in 63, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1860-O 50C MS66 NGC. Type Two Reverse. The 1860-O half dollar can be located with patience through near-Gem. Gems are considerably more challenging and Premium Gems are elusive. NGC and PCGS have certified no pieces finer. Medium intensity multicolored toning covers the lustrous, well preserved surfaces of this lovely MS66 coin. Sharp detail is apparent on the design elements, save for softness in the upper and right-border stars and the hair atop Liberty's head. Census: 4 in 66, 0 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N4719)
Confederate States of America
1861 50C Scott Restrike MS62 PCGS. Breen-8002. After purchasing the Confederate half dollar reverse die in 1879, Scott struck (or restruck) 500 examples to go with the four originals by taking 1861-dated half dollars, planing off the reverses, and stamping on the Confederate reverse. This restriking process flattened out the details on the obverse, a key characteristic for both authentication of the restrikes and differentiating the restrikes from the extremely rare originals.
As expected, the reverse on this piece is sharp and the obverse flattened out. The sides have toned unevenly, with the Confederate side showing fields of violet and golden-tan color and the obverse having a dramatic dividing line that cuts horizontally from star 1 to star 13, separating the generally light silver-gray upper obverse from the deep violet color below. Listed on page 391 of the 2010 Guide Book.

1861 50C Scott Token MS65 PCGS. Breen-8003. One of 500 tokens in white metal produced by J.W. Scott around 1879, which paired the recently rediscovered Confederate half dollar reverse die with a custom obverse die commemorating the four originals or prototypes made in 1861. Faint pink-gold toning visits fields that are otherwise bright white and moderately reflective.
Seated Half Dollars
1863 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. This Civil War-era half is well-defined with strong luster beneath rich patina. Green-gold and lavender-gray shadings are predominant, though a few dots of deeper toning appear at the liberty cap and on and to the left of the shield. Carefully preserved for the grade. Population: 20 in 64, 12 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1870-CC 50C AU50 NGC. The 1993 Wiley-Bugert Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars ranked the first-year 1870-CC as a full R.6 in XF-AU, meaning that 19-24 examples were known. At that time, no examples had been graded in Mint State. More recently (2003), Rusty Goe's The Mint on Carson Street listed a single MS62 PCGS as the sole Mint State example, with an AU55 PCGS as runner-up.
The current NGC Census Report shows one MS62 and one AU58, followed by three pieces in AU50 including the present example. PCGS' Population Report enumerates a single MS62, followed by one AU55, two AU53, and four AU50 coins. The two services together have seen 132 "submission events," and the number of duplications for the issue is probably unusually high. Most of the coins known (and certified) cluster in the lower end of the range from AG to VF. Despite the number of certified coins, the 1870-CC is likely still R.6 in XF and higher grades.
This is an issue that has been a centerpiece of many of the famous half dollar collections formed over the years. The George "Buddy" Byers Collection (Stack's, 10/2006), lot 1233, was a cleaned XF. The Joseph C. Thomas Collection coin that we handled in April 2009, lot 2473, was a lovely AU58 NGC coin, the finest that we have ever offered, with an AU53 coin back in 2003 in second place.
This appealing medium gray specimen will not soon be bettered, either technically or aesthetically. Light high-point wear and some buildup in the devices confirm a brief stint in circulation, but there are remarkably few contact marks or other distractions. Expect and prepare for ferocious bidding when this piece crosses the auction block.(Registry values: N7079)

1870-S 50C AU55 PCGS. CAC. Considerable luster brightens this silver-gray Seated half. The obverse center has a few faint mint-made roller marks, but the strike is generally crisp aside from the eagle's leg feathers. Population: 8 in 55, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
1872-CC 50C XF40 PCGS. More than a quarter million halves were struck in Carson City in 1872, and yet pieces above XF are rarely encountered. Such were the needs of smaller denomination coins in the West in the 1870s. As with almost all known 1872-CC halves, this piece shows softer details on the obverse than the reverse. The surfaces appear totally original, as if it were just pulled from circulation. The exposed areas on each side are light gray with a reddish undertone, and the devices and recesses of the design are charcoal gray. An impressive coin for this scarce CC date.(Registry values: N991)
1873-CC 50C No Arrows XF40 PCGS. WB-101. Despite the popularity of the two-year Arrows type, the No Arrows 1873-CC half is many times scarcer than its Arrows counterpart. All Carson City halves struck between 1870 and 1874 show a weak strike on the obverse, as does this piece. The reverse, however, is well defined for a coin that has seen 20 points of circulation. Each side is medium gray with near-brilliant accents over the high points. There are four dark spots of unknown origin on the obverse, most noticeably placed next to Liberty's knee and close to star 11.(Registry values: N1793)
1873-CC 50C Arrows VF30 ANACS. A pleasing light gray example with deep golden brown outlining the devices. This attractive middle grade circulated piece will delight the advanced Seated half dollar collector.(Registry values: N991)
1875-CC 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Cartwheel luster rolls unencumbered across this originally toned tan-brown and olive-green near-Gem. Both sides lack relevant marks, and the strike is sharp throughout. A desirable Carson City type coin, housed in a first generation holder. Population: 19 in 64, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1877-S 50C MS65 NGC. Type One Reverse. A delicate crescent of gold-orange patina is seen over the left obverse, while the reverse has that same color at the margins. The surfaces are silver-gray otherwise with occasional blue accents. Strongly lustrous and well-defined with impressive eye appeal for this San Francisco minor silver issue. Census: 34 in 65, 20 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1877-S 50C MS65 NGC. Type Two Reverse, which shows a closed bud. This Gem example displays partially prooflike fields that establish modest contrast with the motifs when the coin is rotated beneath a light source. Bluish-purple patina on the obverse yields to champagne-gold on the reverse. A decisive strike leaves sharp detail on the design elements. Census: 34 in 65, 20 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1877-S 50C MS67 NGC. Type Two Reverse. There are few comparisons more stark in U.S. numismatics than between the 1877-S and 1878-S half dollars. The former was produced to the extent of more than 5.3 million pieces and is fortunately found in grades up to the Superb Gem level, while the latter is a great rarity, of which only 12,000 coins were made. This splendid '77-S boasts full, satiny luster on both sides, with pinkish-gray and olive surfaces that are well struck and essentially devoid of distractions. The piece is boldly struck, like most examples of the issue. One of the few finest certified. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
1879 50C MS67 ★ NGC. Only 4,800 circulation strike half dollars were produced in 1879. Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert (1993) attribute this low mintage to the implementation of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. This MS67 ★ example displays partially prooflike fields that nicely offset the motifs. A medley of light cobalt-blue, yellow-gold, lavender, and orange patina enriches impeccably preserved surfaces, and a decisive strike lends sharp definition to the design elements. Census: 2 in 67 ★ , 0 finer (2/09).(Registry values: N1)
1880 50C MS66 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Forest-green and ocean-blue bathe the reverse of this precisely struck and satiny Premium Gem. The obverse is faintly toned in caramel-gold tints. Splendidly preserved, and from a business strike mintage of only 8,400 pieces. Population: 18 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1888 50C MS66 NGC. With just 12,000 pieces struck, this Philadelphia issue's token mintage has low availability from the start, and it is a condition rarity at the Premium Gem level. This MS66 coin is immensely lustrous with russet and violet peripheral toning that gives way to pale silver-gray centers. Census: 16 in 66, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1890 50C MS67 NGC. Arcs of cobalt-blue and lavender cede to light golden-tan throughout the remainder of this prooflike Superb Gem, and sharply struck, frosted design elements offer pleasing contrast with the mirrored fields. A couple of light milling marks in the right obverse field are not troublesome. Census: 6 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1)
Proof Seated Half Dollars
1855 50C PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The number of proof half dollars struck in 1855 is unknown, but certainly small. Perhaps more significant is that numismatic researchers differ on the number of surviving specimens. Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert, in their Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars, suggest possibly 20 Normal Date pieces are known along with at least three overdate coins, while Walter Breen (1988) says there may be 12 coins extant.
The current near-Gem is a normal date. Both sides yield fantastic field-motif contrast. Whispers of purple cling to the obverse margins, while yellow-gold visits those on the reverse. Except for the upper three stars, the design elements are sharply impressed. A few wispy marks barely preclude Gem status. Population: 2 in 64 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).

1862 50C PR63 PCGS. An exquisitely detailed Select proof that shows russet and pumpkin shadings at the borders and faintly gold-gray toning over the centers. Strong eye appeal for the grade assigned.
1862 50C PR64 PCGS. CAC. From a minuscule mintage of 550 pieces, 1862 proof Seated Liberty half dollars are scarce, but examples can be located without too much difficulty at the Near-Gem level. Coins in PR65 or higher grades are rare. The present coin is a delightful specimen, with strong eye appeal and minimal hairlines for the grade. Strongly impressed design elements complement the reflective fields, all under dappled shades of steel-gray, crimson, and cerulean blue toning. Population: 52 in 64, 19 finer (10/09).
1864 50C PR63 PCGS. CAC. A splendid Civil War error Seated half dollar, this example has predominately silver surfaces with subtle iridescence on each side. The fields are nicely mirrored, presenting a light cameo appearance. An excellent example for the Seated half dollar collector or the Civil War aficionado.
1866 50C Motto PR64 PCGS. Autumn-gold, ocean-blue, and rose-violet toning embraces the margins of this pinpoint-sharp Civil War Choice proof. The fields appear smooth, and the eye appeal is exemplary. Population: 32 in 64, 12 finer (10/09).
1867 50C PR64 PCGS. Excellent strike with glimpses of watery reflectivity piercing the rich green-gold, blue, and violet toning. A handful of faint hairlines beneath the patina contribute to the grade. Population: 43 in 64, 17 finer (10/09).
1867 50C PR63 Cameo PCGS. A goodly number of the 625-piece mintage of 1867 proof halves have apparently survived, judging from the fairly large number certified by PCGS and NGC. Cameos, such as this select specimen, are more challenging. Sharply impressed, with excellent contrast, and a thin coat of champagne-gold color. Some wispy handling marks in the obverse fields limit the grade. Population: 6 in 63 Cameo, 16 finer (10/09).
1868 50C PR65 ★ Cameo NGC. A splendid Star designated Gem Cameo proof, this 1868 half dollar ranks as one of the best we have handled, and will easily satisfy any collector, even the fastidious connoisseur. This piece is fully brilliant with untoned, white surfaces. The fields are incredibly deep, with highly lustrous devices. Census: 2 in 65 ★ Cameo, 5 finer (10/09).
1871 50C PR63 PCGS. Sharply detailed and fully brilliant with only a few grade-limiting hairlines and contact marks, this proof has excellent contrast and nearly qualifies for a Cameo designation. Faint peripheral gold toning is mostly evident on the reverse. Population: 36 in 63, 44 finer (10/09).
1871 50C PR65 NGC. Proof half dollars of this date can be located with minimum difficulty through the near-Gem level of preservation. Gems, on the other hand, present a much greater challenge and finer pieces are quite elusive. Medium intensity toning consists of blue, purple, and gold colors. Some wispy hairlines mingle with die polish lines in the fields, but in no way detract. Census: 14 in 65, 8 finer (10/09).
1872 50C PR63 PCGS. CAC. Golden-brown, lavender, and cobalt-blue shades emerge when this intricately struck specimen is rotated beneath a light. The fields appear unperturbed beneath the rich toning. Population: 36 in 63, 56 finer (10/09).
1872 50C PR66 NGC. Dusky, original gold and iridescent toning on both sides of this Premium Gem provides excellent eye appeal. The reverse has some brighter silver-gray at the center. The fields are fully mirrored beneath the toning, and the devices have a full quota of frosty luster. Census: 8 in 66, 3 finer (10/09).
1872 50C PR64 Cameo PCGS. Stunning cameoed surfaces greet the observer of this near-Gem. Cobalt-blue and lavender occupy the fields, further highlighting the silvery, sharply struck motifs. A fine, vertical roller mark bisects the reverse. Population: 4 in 64 Cameo, 4 finer (10/09).
1873 50C Arrows PR62 PCGS. A brilliant example of this short-lived type. The fields are exceptionally deep in their mirrored reflectivity, an aspect that unfortunately also tends to amplify the importance of the hairlines that explain the grade.
1874 50C Arrows PR64 PCGS. WB-101, Small Arrowheads. It is curious that the Mint converted to the metric system in 1873 and the rest of the country still has yet to do so. The weight of half dollars was changed in that year from 12.44 to 12.50 grams and arrows were added to each side of the date to signify the weight change. Proofs of this design type are always highly sought after by collectors. This piece has bright sparkling, mirrored fields beneath speckled rose-russet toning on the obverse and pale rose color on the reverse. Few technical distractions are apparent on this near-Gem. Population: 57 in 64, 19 finer (10/09).
1875 50C PR64 PCGS. Excellent design definition with frosty devices, though lilac and gold-gray shadings have subdued the coin's contrast. Still, the modestly hairlined mirrors are flashy. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 45 in 64, 26 finer (10/09).
1877 50C PR63 PCGS. A flashy, deeply mirrored proof from this popular 19th century year. Brilliant centers are surrounded by tan peripheries. The main deterrents to a higher grade are located in the right obverse field.
1879 50C PR65 Cameo NGC. Type One Reverse. This stunning Cameo proof has exceptional eye appeal that results from the combination of mirrored fields, lustrous devices, and exquisite gold and iridescent toning. With a business strike mintage of only 4,800 coins, extra demand is placed on proofs that survive from the proof mintage of 1,100 pieces. Census: 7 in 65 Cameo, 20 finer (10/09).
1880 50C PR64 Cameo NGC. Crisply defined and minimally toned with strong silver-white contrast. A single line that passes from star 9 and down parallel to Liberty's arm into her drapery accounts for the grade. Census: 22 in 64 Cameo, 29 finer (10/09).
1882 50C PR66 PCGS. WB-102. The tops of two stray 8s are visible in the dentils beneath the left side of the 88 in the date. It is believed that WB-102 is a proof-only variety, although further examination of Mint State coins is necessary. This amazing proof has fully mirrored fields and lustrous devices beneath delicate mauve, cobalt, emerald, and gold toning. Population: 19 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).
1885 50C PR65 NGC. An attractive Gem specimen of this later proof Seated half dollar issue. Gold and silver-white colors dominate the centers, while parts of the rims show cerulean and violet toning. Mildly contrasted on each side, though not to the extent seen on a Cameo coin. Census: 30 in 65, 31 finer (10/09).
1887 50C PR66 Cameo NGC. Untoned save for the lightest blushes of golden iridescence at the denticles, this smooth, virtually pristine Premium Gem glistens at all angles. Frosty textured devices stand in stark contrast to the reflective fields and are also noteworthy for the exactness of strike that greets the viewer on both the obverse and the reverse. Certainly among the most visually appealing survivors of the proof variant of the 1887 Seated Half. Census: 18 in 66 Cameo, 5 finer (10/09).
1890 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. From a tiny mintage of 590 pieces, proof 1890 half dollars are rare in all grades. Examples in PR67 Cameo are very rare. NGC has certified only eight examples at the Superb Proof Cameo level, with none finer; while PCGS has graded a single coin in this grade, with one finer (10/09). The present coin is simply magnificent, with boldly impressed frosty devices that contrast vividly with pristine mirrored fields. Overall visual appeal is stunning.
1891 50C PR65 NGC. 1891 marked the last year of Seated Liberty half dollar coinage. Proofs were struck to the tune of 600 pieces, a fair number of which have survived to the present day. This Gem proof is sharply struck and untoned. Its minimally marked surfaces display a degree of field-motif variance. Nice overall appeal. Census: 26 in 65, 25 finer (10/09).
Barber Half Dollars
1892 50C MS65 PCGS. A pristine specimen from the first date of the series, the present coin combines a needle-sharp strike with brilliant, lustrous surfaces to produce extraordinary visual appeal. Popular with date and type collectors, as well as first-date-of-issue aficionados. From a small business strike mintage of 934,000 pieces, the issue is scarce at the Gem level. Population: 91 in 65, 48 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1892 50C MS65 PCGS. Rose, lavender, and blue-gray hues drape most of each side, though a few pale silver patches are also visible. This well-defined Gem is satiny with strong eye appeal for the initial Barber half dollar issue, which has a mintage of under a million pieces. Housed in a green label PCGS holder. PCGS has graded 48 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1892-O 50C Micro O Fine 12 PCGS. The 1892-O Micro O is the most famous rarity in the Barber half series, to which David Lawrence (1991) assigns an R.7 rarity rating in all grades. Moreover, PCGS and NGC have seen only about 50 pieces in all levels of preservation (10/09). Charcoal-gray toning in the fields highlights most of the lighter gray devices. Well defined for the designated grade and devoid of significant marks.(Registry values: P8)
1892-S 50C MS62 PCGS. Primarily pale silver-gray in color with elements of peripheral peach. Well-defined with few overt abrasions, though there are a number of wispy marks both in the fields and on the devices.(Registry values: N1793)
1893-O 50C MS64 PCGS. Mostly slate-gray surfaces are enriched by light tan streaks along with peripheral russet and aqua toning. Satiny luster shimmers throughout. The strike is sharp save for trivial incompleteness on the right shield corner. The reverse is well-preserved, while the obverse is only lightly marked. A scarce issue in Uncirculated grades. Population: 43 in 64, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1894-O 50C MS63 PCGS. Lightly toned and lustrous with incompleteness of strike limited to the fletchings and right shield corner. Scarce in Mint State, since half dollars circulated yet had too much purchasing power to be set aside for long. Population: 31 in 63, 65 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1895-S 50C MS64 PCGS. Intense luster invigorates this near-Gem Barber half that displays a splash of soft golden-tan color on Liberty's cheek and neck, and a powerful strike delivers virtually full definition to the design features. A few minute marks prevent the attainment of Gem designation. Population: 40 in 64, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1897-O 50C MS66 NGC. Delicate straw-gold toning denies full brilliance, but this highly lustrous Premium Gem has an essentially immaculate reverse, and the obverse is also well preserved. As usual for a New Orleans example, the reverse is incompletely brought up between the fletchings and right shield corner. Census: 4 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1901-S 50C AU50 PCGS. Greenish-yellow toning with bluish accents covers both sides, being somewhat lighter on the reverse. Nicely struck and devoid of significant marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1902-S 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Relatively few 1902-S half dollars survive in the better levels of Mint State. This highly lustrous near-Gem is splashed with sea-green, gunmetal-blue, and golden-tan, mostly around the borders. The design elements are well struck except for weakness in the right part of the shield, the eagle's legs, and the right (facing) claw and adjacent arrow feathers. Minuscule handling marks limit the grade. Population: 7 in 64, 12 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1903-O 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. A wonderful New Orleans half dollar, this 1903-O has frosty silver luster with splashes of iridescent toning on both sides. All design elements on the obverse and reverse are fully detailed. It is a remarkable, and scarce, Barber half dollar. Population: 49 in 64, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1903-O 50C MS64 PCGS. Both sides of this pleasing Barber half dollar have ivory surfaces with peripheral russet, gold, and blue toning. The strike is weak at the usual points, especially at the right side of the shield and the adjacent wing. Population: 49 in 64, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1904-S 50C PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. It is boldly defined with full AU or finer details, exhibiting light gold toning with dark patina around the devices.
1906 50C MS64 NGC. The nearly untoned highly lustrous surfaces display just a wisp or two of gold color on the reverse. Sharply struck save for the usual softness in the upper right shield corner. Some faint pinscratches in the right obverse field suggest an attempt was made to remove a reddish-blue toning spot. Nevertheless, a very pleasing near-Gem. Census: 54 in 64, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1906-O 50C MS63 PCGS. Ocean-blue and jade-green borders surround golden-brown fields and devices. This New Orleans quarter is well struck on the claws and fletchings, and the right shield corner has only slight incompleteness. Unmarked and satiny. Population: 17 in 63, 37 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1907 50C MS64 PCGS. The obverse is quite sharp and naturally toned green-gold; the reverse is softly defined at the center and exhibits similar, but more subdued color.(Registry values: N1793)
1907 50C MS65 NGC. Although one of the better-produced issues in the series, Gem examples are still elusive. This silver-gray piece shows a better strike than usually seen, showing just the slightest hint of softness at the right top shield corner, the most difficult area to strike up fully. Abrasions are few, and the eye appeal is high. Census: 17 in 65, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1907-O 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Slivers of peripheral golden-brown and electric-blue patina are more evident on the obverse of this highly lustrous near-Gem. The design elements are well impressed save for minor softness in the upper right shield corner, a characteristic of this issue. Minute marks deny Gem status. Population: 42 in 64, 21 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1908 50C MS67 NGC. The 1908 is a slightly better date, and in Gem and finer grades is quite challenging. Occasional splashes of soft yellow-tan color visit the obverse of this Superb Gem. Ebullient luster shows on both sides, each of which has been well cared for. The design features are well defined, save for the usual minor softness in the upper right shield corner and arrow feathers. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1908-O 50C MS65 PCGS. The 1908-O boasts the second highest mintage of the series, at 5.36 million pieces. The high mintage leads collectors to believe that the issue is easily located, but coins at the Gem level are surprisingly difficult. David Akers has said, "In terms of ready availability, a 1908-O Barber half of this quality should be considered rare."
The present coin exhibits remarkable aesthetic appeal. Both sides have frosty luster with pale champagne toning. Slight weakness is evident, as usual, just right of the shield. Population: 30 in 65, 28 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)

1911-S/S 50C MS65 PCGS. FS-501. A newly-discovered repunched mintmark variety. Boldly struck overall, with a touch of softness noted on the hair detail just above Liberty's temple and forehead, and on the eagle's right (facing) talons. Satiny and lightly toned, with a subtle golden-gray cast across the carefully preserved, unmarked surfaces. PCGS has currently only identified one submission (the present coin) as the 1911-S/S variety. Population: 14 in 65, 7 finer (9/08) for all 1911-S half dollars.(Registry values: N4719)
1911-S 50C MS66 NGC. David Lawrence, in his Barber half dollar reference, calls the 1911-S "Underrated in MS." This Premium Gem exudes glowing luster from satiny surfaces that display hints of light gold-tan color. A solid strike sharpens the design elements, except for minor softness in the upper right corner of the shield and the eagle's left (right facing) claw and adjacent arrow feathers. Impeccably preserved throughout. Census: 2 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1912 50C MS65 PCGS. CAC. With a large mintage of 1.5 million pieces, the 1912 Barber half dollar is readily available in lower grades, but it is one of the most difficult issues of the series to locate at the Gem level. The present coin is well preserved, with pristine fields. The surfaces are graced by iridescent shades of crimson, gray, and blue toning. Population: 17 in 65, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1912-D 50C MS65 PCGS. A relatively common Barber half dollar issue, if any Gem Mint State Barber half could be called common. In reality, all Gem Barber halves are condition rarities. This sharply defined piece has full mint frost with a high degree of luster shining through the golden-brown, sea-green, and iridescent toning. Population: 51 in 65, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1912-S 50C MS67 NGC. Only two 1912-S half dollars have received a grade of MS67 from either of the major grading services--the Hugon specimen, which we sold in our January 2005 FUN Auction, and the present piece. The Hugon coin was described as having semiprooflike surfaces, but that is not the case with this coin, which is covered throughout in a pleasing iridescent satin luster. Sharply struck, with a trace of weakness visible only on the right (facing) wing and the shield opposite. As befits the grade, the surfaces have minimal abrasions, none of which distract, and few of which are visible without a loupe. This coin presents an opportunity to acquire the finest possible example of this issue, and as such should attract spirited bidding.(Registry values: N7079)
1914-S 50C MS66 NGC. With the extremely low half dollar mintage in Philadelphia in 1914, the 1914-S emerges as the common date from this year. However, it is anything but common in the highest grades. This piece is fully brilliant and highly attractive with brilliant, untoned silver-white surfaces. Census: 4 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1915 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. An important Barber half dollar issue, the 1915 had an original mintage of just 138,000 coins, and surviving examples are rare today. Both sides have sharp design elements with satiny silver luster. Lovely lilac and gold toning adds to its overall eye appeal. Population: 24 in 64, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1915-D 50C MS65 NGC. This issue is readily available through the near-Gem level of preservation. Gems are very scarce, however, and pieces grading above MS65 are rare. Coruscating luster encompasses this Gem and a well directed strike leaves sharp detail on the design features, save for weakness on the upper right shield corner and arrow feathers. A handful of ticks does not detract. Census: 48 in 65, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Barber Half Dollars
1892 50C PR64 Cameo PCGS. An amazing Cameo proof, seldom seen as such, with brilliant silver surfaces. Only faint toning is evident. The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices are fully lustrous and sharply defined. Population: 22 in 64 Cameo, 27 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1893 50C PR64 Cameo NGC. This near-Gem specimen has unusual but thoroughly pleasing patina, pale gold-gray overall with slight hazing toward the rims. This toning does not interfere with the coin's remarkable contrast, dimming neither the strong mirrors nor the frosty texture of the devices. Census: 25 in 64 Cameo, 44 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1894 50C PR64 PCGS. Sharply struck and free of contact marks, the surfaces overall display a richness of color and originality that is virtually impossible to duplicate. The obverse is blanketed in deep purple-rose and electric-blue coloration. The reverse shows the same electric-blue and purple-rose patina, intermixed with golden-orange.(Registry values: N1793)
1894 50C PR66 Cameo PCGS. A splendid Premium Gem Cameo proof, this 1894 Barber half dollar has exceptional, fully mirrored fields and pristine, satiny devices. The contrast is clearly visible beneath delicate gold and iridescent toning. Population: 15 in 66 Cameo, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1896 50C PR66 PCGS. An impeccable Premium Gem proof, this 1896 half dollar exhibits brilliant, untoned silver surfaces with deeply mirrored fields and fully lustrous devices. The contrast seems sufficient for a Cameo designation, and approaches deep cameo on the reverse. Population: 11 in 66, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1898 50C PR65 Cameo NGC. A stunning Gem Cameo proof half dollar, this piece presents a lovely appearance with its deep mirrored frame around lustrous and brilliant silver surfaces with only a faint trace of champagne toning. The cameo contrast is exceptional, and borderline ultra cameo. Census: 11 in 65 Cameo, 37 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1901 50C PR64 NGC. The rose and lilac patina is spread evenly over each side and the mirrored fields flash strongly through the colors. A curious patch of darker color is noted at the bottom of the truncation of Liberty.(Registry values: N1793)
1901 50C PR64 Cameo PCGS. Light tan-gold toning graces this undisturbed and sharply impressed Choice proof type coin. The portrait is particularly frosty, relative to the glassy field. Population: 6 in 64 Cameo, 26 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1907 50C PR66 NGC. Each side is brilliant throughout, and both the portrait and the eagle display moderate white frost, but the piece is undesignated as Cameo. The strike is incomplete near the right shield corner. A mere 575 proofs were struck. Census: 25 in 66, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1909 50C PR65 NGC. Blue-green and ruby splashes accent the gold and orange base color spread widely across this Gem proof. It sports impressive detail with considerable reflectivity through the rich patina. One of just 650 specimens struck. NGC has graded 70 numerically finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1911 50C PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. An amazing Gem Cameo proof, this specimen has brilliant and deeply mirrored silver surfaces with no evidence of toning on either side. The devices are brilliant white, resulting in impressive contrast. Considered separately, the reverse is deep cameo. Population: 11 in 65 Cameo, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1916-D 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Splashes of medium intensity purple, brown, and gold patina concentrate at the borders of this lustrous near-Gem. Well struck, including Liberty's branch hand, and nicely preserved.(Registry values: N991)
1916-S 50C --Artificial Toning--NGC. Unc Details. Pale gold and lilac toning mask subdued luster on this attractive piece. Although artificial, the toning is attractive and desirable. Use the "I like it" principle when viewing this piece.(Registry values: N991)
1916-S 50C MS64 PCGS. The 1916-S is one of the more difficult Walkers to locate in fully struck condition. Liberty's branch hand and head and the eagle's breast and trailing leg are especially prone to weakness. Liberty's thumb and adjacent branches on this near-Gem are virtually complete, and most of the head detail shows. The eagle's breast feathers are also well defined, but those on the trailing leg are incomplete. Essentially untoned surfaces exhibit satiny luster. A handful of inoffensive marks barely prevent Gem designation.(Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 50C Reverse MS63 PCGS. CAC. Medium autumn-gold toning drapes this coruscating early Walking Liberty half. The centers show some inexactness of strike, but both sides are surprisingly unabraded.(Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 50C Reverse MS64 PCGS. A popular issue although not as elusive as the Obverse Mintmark variety, the 1917-S Reverse Mintmark is nonetheless seldom seen at the next grade level, where the populations thin dramatically. This highly lustrous piece shows rose and lilac toning on the obverse, and differing colors, mainly pale lilac on the reverse. There are relatively few abrasions, although some strike softness shows at the high points of each side. PCGS has certified 44 pieces finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 50C Reverse MS64 PCGS. This lovely piece has deep golden-brown, steel-blue, and iridescent toning over frosty luster. Both sides are slightly weak at the centers, typical of the early S-Mint Walkers. Pieces struck in 1916 and early in 1917 had their mintmark on the obverse, while those struck later in 1917 and on to 1947 had the mintmark on the reverse. some collectors consider these separate subtypes of the Walking Liberty series.(Registry values: N1793)
1918 50C MS64 PCGS. The frosty surfaces are stone-white and attractive, with radiant luster and relatively few marks for the grade. A couple of reeding marks appear on the eagle's rock, and light abrasions on Liberty's exposed upper thigh, but the eye appeal is generous.(Registry values: N1793)
1918 50C MS65 PCGS. Well-defined for an early Walker with appreciable definition on Liberty's branch hand. The silver-white luster is strong with distinctly frosty qualities. Only a faint suggestion of tan-gold color is present near the rims. PCGS has certified only eight finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1918-D 50C MS62 NGC. This lustrous early branch mint Walking Liberty half appears at first glance to merit a higher grade, since the obverse is well preserved, as is the reverse save for a concealed diagonal pinscratch on the eagle's waist.(Registry values: N1793)
1919 50C MS60 PCGS. Rich violet, blue-green, and dusky rose-orange shadings drape this lustrous and sharply struck Walker. Several short, horizontal abrasions are noted on Liberty's skirt.(Registry values: N1793)
1919-D 50C AU53 NGC. With a low mintage of 1.1 million pieces, the 1919-D Walking Liberty half dollar is considered an important find, even in circulated grades. The present coin shows only the slightest wear on the high points of the design, with a better-than-average strike for the issue, although the usual weakness is seen on the obverse center. The unabraded surfaces are toned in pleasing shades of lavender and rose.(Registry values: N1793)
1919-D 50C MS63 PCGS. This fully original and deeply toned piece has bright blue and steel toning on both sides. The usual vertical weakness is evident from the top to bottom on the obverse and reverse. The 1919-D is one of the most important issues in the Walking Liberty series, elusive in most grades and distinctly scarce in Mint State. The Select grade strikes a good balance between price and value, since finer examples swiftly become more expensive and lesser-graded coins often do not have the level of eye appeal present here. Population: 51 in 63, 79 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1919-S 50C AU55 NGC. This Choice AU piece is an exceptional, fully original example, with nearly full luster. Pleasing light silver-gray surfaces have hints of champagne toning. The early Walkers are extremely difficult to locate in pristine near-Mint condition, and a complete set is more challenging (and less expensive) than a full Mint State collection.(Registry values: N1793)
1920 50C MS66 PCGS. Soft blue-gray color covers much of each side, while the margins show dappled sage, rose, and gold elements. Boldly impressed on a number of finer details, such as Liberty's head and her sandal. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer example, and as one of just 13 MS66 pieces known to the latter firm (10/09), this Premium Gem is a condition rarity of high importance to the Registry collector.(Registry values: N4719)
1921 50C AU58 NGC. CAC. The 1921 is a famously low-mintage issue among Walker halves, with fewer than a quarter of a million pieces struck. This richly toned example has satiny, essentially complete luster in the fields beneath rich coffee, antique-gold, and violet-gray patina. Just a touch of rub on the well-defined devices precludes an even finer designation.(Registry values: N1793)
1921 50C MS64 PCGS. At 246,000 business strike pieces, the 1921 has the second lowest circulation strike mintage of the Walking Liberty half dollar series, and Mint State specimens can be difficult to locate. Pleasing luster resides on this near-Gem and hints of tan-gold color accumulate at the borders. Well struck, including the outline of Liberty's thumb on the branch hand. Small marks preclude Gem status.(Registry values: N2998)
1921-S 50C PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. It has details of XF45 with pale gray surfaces. Some strike weakness is evident at the center of the obverse, but the overall definition is better than most.
1928-S 50C MS65 NGC. Dapples of bluish-gray and beige-orange patina race over the lustrous surfaces of this attractive Gem. Weakly struck in the centers, a typical characteristic of this leading strike rarity. Both sides are quite well preserved, leading to rather pleasing overall eye appeal. Census: 36 in 65, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1929-D 50C MS66 PCGS. In spite of its low mintage total of just over 1 million pieces, the 1929-D Walking Liberty half dollar is readily available in grades up to the Gem level. There was little demand for the coins during the Depression, and many pieces were preserved in bank vaults for many years. The issue becomes quite scarce in MS66, however, and only one single specimen has been graded MS67 by NGC and PCGS combined (10/09). The present coin is sharply struck, with shades of lilac and green toning, and spots of russet. Population: 51 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1929-D 50C MS66 PCGS. Soft ice-blue and beige patination resting on the highly lustrous surfaces shows up under magnification, and the design features are well struck, including the right (facing) hand and the eagle's breast feathers. The usual softness is noted on the eagle's trailing leg. Both sides have been well cared for. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 50 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1929-S 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. A pleasingly lustrous near-Gem, minimally toned save for splashes of gold present at parts of the rims. Softly defined at the high points but well struck on the lower elements of the devices.(Registry values: N991)
1929-S 50C MS65 NGC. CAC. This is a splendid, sparkling, silver-white Gem of this issue, with just a hint of gold and pink at the rims on each side. Minor strike weakness appears on Liberty's branch hand, but the generous luster and overall eye appeal more than compensate. NGC has certified only 34 pieces finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1933-S 50C MS65 PCGS. CAC. An eye-catching, brilliant, and carefully preserved Gem. Outstanding satiny luster drapes both sides and complements the crisply defined details. Liberty's skirt lines are nearly full and there is just a trace of softness on the right (facing) hand. Scattered abrasions limit the grade to "only" an MS65; none are worthy of individual mention. This attractive example would make a wonderful addition to any collection.(Registry values: N2998)
1934-D 50C MS66 PCGS. This Premium Gem projects magnificent eye appeal resulting from ebullient luster, impeccably preserved surfaces, and sharply struck devices. The latter include excellent detail on the branches and adjacent thumb, the skirt lines, and the eagle's breast and leg feathers. Only Liberty's head is weak, a common occurrence on the '34-D, even when other elements are sharp. Whispers of gold color are visible at the borders. PCGS and NGC have seen a mere three pieces finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1934-S 50C MS65 PCGS. Vibrant luster embraces both sides of this Gem, each of which is essentially untoned and very nicely preserved. A sharp strike is visible on most of the design elements, including Liberty's head, branch hand, and skirt lines, and the eagle's breast feathers. Some feathers show on the eagle's trailing leg, but it is short of being complete, which is typical for the date. The 1934-S is extremely difficult to locate above MS65.(Registry values: N2998)
1935-D 50C MS65 PCGS. Faint walnut-tan toning visits this lustrous and minimally abraded Gem. The highpoints are incompletely brought up, as is customary for this lower mintage Great Depression issue.(Registry values: N991)
1935-D 50C MS65 PCGS. Each side of this splendid Gem radiates flashy luster and is color free. The design features are somewhat better struck than ordinarily seen on this issue, and include a modicum of detail on the branch and adjacent hand. Some grade-consistent marks are undisturbing.(Registry values: N991)
1935-S 50C MS65 NGC. A splendid Gem with frosty silver luster and traces of toning along parts of the border. NGC has only certified 50 finer examples of this important issue.(Registry values: N1793)
1935-S 50C MS65 PCGS. Both sides of this Gem S-mint emit blazing luster. The only significant color is a small bluish-purple toning spot on the lower right reverse. Nicely struck and minimally marked.(Registry values: N1793)
1936 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. A stunning Superb Gem with few peers. This piece has fully brilliant and frosty silver luster with peripheral iridescence around part of the obverse. PCGS has only certified two finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1936 50C MS67 PCGS. Soft yellow-gold and sky-blue colors illuminate this lustrous and suitably struck Superb Gem. As of (10/09), a mere six pieces have been certified in finer grades by the combined forces of PCGS and NGC.(Registry values: N991)
1936-D 50C MS66 PCGS. A well executed strike manifests itself in strong definition on the gown lines and branch hand. Silvery surfaces display bright luster and are devoid of mentionable marks.(Registry values: N991)
1936-S 50C MS66 NGC. Subtle hints of gold visit the margins of this lustrous Premium Gem. Solidly struck for the issue and delightfully well-preserved. NGC has graded only 13 numerically finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1936-S 50C MS66 PCGS. Frosty luster and barely discernible champagne-gold color occupy both sides of this suitably struck Premium Gem. Nicely preserved..(Registry values: N1793)
1937 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Lustrous surfaces display hints of champagne-gold color and sharply impressed devices, including Liberty's right (facing) hand and adjacent branches. A few minute marks are concealed within the obverse portrait. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1937-D 50C MS66 PCGS. Lustrous surfaces are silver-white on the obverse and show splashes of light tan-gold on the reverse. This impressively struck piece reveals no significant marks.(Registry values: N991)
1938-D 50C MS65 PCGS. Suitably struck radiantly lustrous surfaces are essentially untoned. A few grade-consistent marks do not detract.(Registry values: N991)
1938-D 50C MS66 NGC. CAC. Wisps of iridescent toning fail to subdue the brilliant silver luster of this frosty Premium Gem. It is an excellent example of the most important late date Walker from 1934 to 1947. NGC has only certified 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1938-D 50C MS66 PCGS. The low mintage '38-D has long been a popular target for hoarders, and the issue emerges as a significant scarcity in the lofty MS66 grade. This is a lustrous piece with pearl-gray toning save for arcs of autumn-gold along the right borders.(Registry values: N1793)
1938-D 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. The 1938-D is the key to the later-date Walkers with an impressively low mintage of less than a half-million coins. This is a lovely Gem of Superb quality with satiny luster and subliminal gold toning. The strike is sharp throughout, and this key is tied as the finest certified at the two major services.(Registry values: N2998)
1939 50C MS67 NGC. CAC. The design elements are fully struck on each side of this original half. The centers are not exactly brilliant, but have a milky-gray patina. The upper obverse rim and lower reverse display deep russet toning.(Registry values: N991)
1939 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Whispers of olive-green, cobalt-blue, and russet visit the highly lustrous surfaces of this Superb Gem. A well executed strike sharpens the design elements. Impeccably preserved throughout.(Registry values: N991)
1939-S 50C MS67 PCGS. Dazzling luster radiates from the silver-white immaculately preserved surfaces of this Superb Gem. An above average strike leaves sharply incised gown lines along with better-than-usual definition on the branch hand. Great overall eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
1941 50C MS67 NGC. A wonderful type coin that is covered with light rose and sea-green patina on each side. Fully struck, of course.(Registry values: N991)
1941 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. This caramel-gold Superb Gem exhibits exemplary luster and is pristine aside from a tiny tick on Liberty's jaw. The strike is precise, and the appeal is extraordinary. A mere 12 pieces have been graded finer by PCGS (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1942-D 50C MS67 PCGS. Outstanding eye appeal is provided by impeccably preserved, highly lustrous surfaces and sharply struck motifs. Champagne-silver color resides on both sides.(Registry values: N991)
1942-S 50C MS66 NGC. Not quite fully struck, but the striking details are definitely above average for the issue. The mint luster is outstanding; each side is snow-white and the coin is remarkably free of abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1942-S 50C MS66 PCGS. Untoned with bright, sparkling luster and impeccable surfaces. Typically struck in the centers.(Registry values: N1793)
1943 50C MS68 NGC. Shimmering satiny luster shines beneath the mottled hazel and silver patina that envelops both sides. Several wispy grazes and a touch of softness on the centers keep this stunning piece from being absolutely flawless. NGC and PCGS combined have certified just 15 pieces at this lofty level, with none finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1943-D 50C MS67 NGC. CAC. Medium lemon-gold toning endows this remarkable Superb Gem. Devoid of marks, and the strike is uncommonly sharp. Exemplary luster ensures the eye appeal. As of (10/09), NGC has certified only four examples finer.(Registry values: N991)
1943-S 50C MS67 NGC. This is a scarce issue in higher grades, and Superb Gem examples are conditional rarities. This piece is boldly defined with an outlined thumb at the center of the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and fully brilliant with no evidence of toning on either side. Census: 22 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1944-S 50C MS66 NGC. The rose, gold, and silver-blue shadings that sweep across each side of this frosty Premium Gem are bold, yet not thick over the surfaces. Well struck and gorgeous.(Registry values: N1793)
1944-S 50C MS66 PCGS. The lustrous sheen of this Premium Gem jumps out at the observer. Color free surfaces exhibit well struck devices and are nicely preserved.(Registry values: N1793)
1945 50C MS67 PCGS. The silver-gray surfaces of this Superb Gem are endowed with bright luster and are nearly flawless. Well struck, including partial definition on Liberty's branch hand. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1945-D 50C MS67 PCGS. Well struck and brilliant, with bright, radiant luster, and carefully preserved surfaces overall. A few unimportant marks are seen on the lower obverse.(Registry values: N991)
1946-D 50C MS67 NGC. Attractive yellow-gold and light green patina resides on the lustrous, impeccably preserved surfaces. A well directed strike leaves strong definition on the design elements. Census: 96 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1947 50C MS67 NGC. Champagne-gold patina covers the radiantly lustrous surfaces of this Superb Gem and a decisive strike imparts strong definition to the design features. A few light obverse marks do not detract. Census: 59 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1947 50C MS67 NGC. Soft beige-gold and ice-blue color runs over the lustrous surfaces of this lovely Superb Gem. Well struck and nicely preserved. Census: 60 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1947-D 50C MS67 NGC. Essentially untoned with remarkably frosty silver-white luster. The peripheral zones are well-defined, but central elements such as Liberty's branch hand show softness.(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1937 50C PR65 PCGS. Delicate gold toning visits this exquisitely struck Gem. The fields are prominently mirrored, and slight frost is noted on the devices. A better date for this popular proof series. Encased in a first generation holder.(Registry values: N991)
1938 50C PR68 NGC. This stunning Superb Gem proof is a borderline cameo example with contrast evident on both sides. Pristine surfaces exhibit pale lemon-yellow toning that is slighter deeper near the borders. The strike is exceptional with every delicate detail fully defined. Census: 52 in 68, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1939 50C PR67 NGC. CAC. Whispers of light gold and violet make occasional visits to the luminous surfaces of this Superb Gem proof. Exquisitely struck and lovingly preserved.(Registry values: N991)
1939 50C PR67 NGC. CAC. Light honey toning visits this flashy and razor-sharp Superb Gem. The obverse has modest but recognizable cameo contrast. A lower proof mintage than the dates that follow.(Registry values: N991)
1942 50C PR67 NGC. CAC. This Superb Gem proof boasts a chromelike gleam beneath rich patina. The obverse has intriguing green-gold, sage, magenta, and silver-white colors, while the reverse is largely pale silver-blue with violet and umber at parts of the rims.(Registry values: N991)
1942 50C PR67 NGC. Dappled blue and green-gold peripheral elements give way to champagne and pale silver-gray in the centers. A sharp Superb Gem proof with remarkable mirrors.(Registry values: N991)
1942 50C PR67 NGC. CAC. A profoundly mirrored and minimally toned Superb Gem proof that offers a degree of contrast, unusual for the issue, though not enough for a Cameo designation. Amazing eye appeal.(Registry values: N991)
1942 50C PR68 NGC. Delicate gold and iridescent toning creates exceptional aesthetic desirability on this pristine Superb Gem proof Walking Liberty half dollar. Both sides have fully mirrored fields around lightly frosted devices with noticeable contrast despite the lack of a Cameo designation. Census: 158 in 68, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Franklin Half Dollars
1951-D 50C MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. This piece is most likely of Mint set origin, judging from the colors on each side. It is better balanced, however, than most Mint Set coins with lovely lilac and rose color on each side with powerful underlying mint luster.(Registry values: N2998)
1952 50C MS67 ★ NGC. CAC. Originally toned and worth a significant premium as such. Each side displays pale rose centers that are surrounded by sea-green peripheral color. Soft mint frost races around each side as the coin is slowly rotated beneath a light. An exceptional 1952 half.(Registry values: N1793)
1952-D 50C MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Undoubtedly from an original mint set, this Premium Gem has olive-gold and deep russet toning on both sides. Lustrous surfaces with a bold strike. Population: 50 in 66 Full Bell Lines, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1954-S 50C MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. This piece shows beautiful mint set toning on the reverse, with jade-green, amber, and copper predominating, while the obverse is mostly color-free save for at the rim. While available in lower grades, the 1954-S is an elusive coin at this level. Population: 71 in 66 Full Bell Lines, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1958-D 50C MS67 ★ NGC. While the 1958-D is one of the more frequently encountered dates in the Franklin series and the last one from the double Mint sets, it is seldom located with this level of eye appeal. The reverse is displayed in the encasement in the usual place for the obverse of this holder, as a testament to its level of superior eye appeal. The reverse is indeed deeper in hue and more irregularly dispersed, while the obverse has a lilac-gray center with rose colored margin. Simply outstanding quality.(Registry values: N991)
1958-D 50C MS67 ★ Full Bell Lines NGC. A shining Superb Gem that combines the sharp strike and vivid toning that so many Franklin half collectors find irresistible. Rich gold, rose, green, and violet hues drape the strongly lustrous surfaces, and the bell lines are boldly impressed. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer Full Bell Lines example (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1960 50C MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Light peach and silver-gray colors grace the centers, while splashes of deeper orange, rose, and violet-blue are present close to the rims. A sharp Premium Gem example of this later Franklin half dollar issue that offers excellent luster and visual appeal. Population: 33 in 66 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Franklin Half Dollars
1950 50C PR66 ★ Cameo NGC. CAC. A minimally toned specimen that not only shows distinct contrast, it approaches (but ultimately falls short of) Ultra Cameo status. Carefully preserved with a tiny dark streak below E PLURIBUS UNUM the only significant area of color.(Registry values: N1793)
1952 50C PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. This is an absolutely incredible Gem Ultra Cameo proof with fully brilliant silver surfaces and amazing black and white contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and highly lustrous devices. The original die finish is clearly evident on the devices of this splendid half dollar. Census: 9 in 65 Ultra Cameo, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1956 50C Type One PR68 Cameo PCGS. Approximately 95% of all proof 1956 half dollars have the Type Two reverse, which features three high relief feathers left of the perch. The very scarce Type One reverse has four low relief feathers left of the perch. This pristine Type One example exhibits light honey-gold toning and noticeable cameo contrast.(Registry values: P2)
1956 50C Type One PR68 Cameo PCGS. A gorgeous Cameo example of the important Type One 1956 proof Franklin half dollar variant. Both the deep mirrors and the mildly frosted devices are essentially silver-white, with only the faintest evidence of white toning.(Registry values: P2)
1956 50C Type Two PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. With its gleaming silver-white fields and thickly frosted devices, this Ultra Cameo specimen is as close to perfection as imaginable for a Franklin half. Spectacular eye appeal.(Registry values: P1)
1961 50C Doubled Die Reverse PR64 ANACS. FS-801, formerly FS-013. A brilliant proof with pale lilac and blue toning. The doubling is especially prominent at the left side of the reverse.(Registry values: P2)
Proof Kennedy Half Dollars
1964 50C Accented Hair PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. FS-401. Type One Reverse. Outstanding white-on-black contrast exists between the needle-sharp devices and the glassy fields. The preservation is exceptional, as is the eye appeal. Census: 16 in 67 Ultra Cameo, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
1976-S 50C Silver PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. A flawless and impressively contrasted specimen of the Bicentennial half in silver proof format. This is one of just 39 pieces assigned the ultimate grade by PCGS (10/09).(Registry values: N491)
Early Dollars
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves VG8 PCGS. B-5, BB-27, R.1. This is the variety with the horizontal bar in the left obverse field, although on this example it is nearly invisible. Both sides show considerable wear. However, the surfaces are smooth with natural deep gray fields and lighter gray devices.(Registry values: N1793)
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves VF30 PCGS. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Deeply toned over both sides, with unusually strong definition on most of the design elements. A number of moderate adjustment marks are evident along the lower obverse border, between 5 o'clock and 8 o'clock, and a few thinner adjustment marks are located over Liberty's ear and lower hair detail. Several moderate abrasions are noted on the reverse, below the eagle's left (facing) wing. A single shallow mark on the obverse resides near the tip of the bust. Evenly worn and quite attractive for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves AU58 NGC. B-5, BB-27, R.1. A raised diagonal bar in the upper left obverse field provides instant identification of this common variety. It is the ideal candidate for type or date collectors, being available in nearly any design condition. This near-Mint example is fully lustrous and brilliant with silver surfaces and faint gold toning. Only slight weakness is evident at the center of the reverse, with all other design elements bold. The strike is well centered with complete borders on both sides. Only a few tiny blemishes and a trace of wear prevent a solid Mint State grade.(Registry values: N4719)
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves VG8 ANACS. B-1, BB-21, R.2. The Blundered Date obverse with the 7 punched over an errant 1. This variety is the second most common 1795 Flowing Hair marriage, but also quite popular because of its die engraving error. Attractive light silver surfaces deepen to steel-gray at the borders.(Registry values: P4)
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves VF20 ANACS. B-1, BB-21, R.2. A familiar Two Leaves variety, along with B-2 and B-4. Golden-brown and gunmetal-blue shades alternate across this nicely detailed Flowing Hair type coin. The toning is slightly streaky near the wreath stems. Both sides of this pleasing piece are free of significant marks.(Registry values: P4)
1795 $1 Draped Bust, Centered--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Very Fine Details. B-15, BB-52, R.2. Two varieties are known for the 1795 Draped Bust dollar, the first year for the design. The present coin is a representative of the less available BB-52 variety, characterized by the well centered bust on the obverse. The deep gray and lilac surfaces are lightly abraded for an early dollar, and much original detail remains on the devices.(Registry values: N1793)
1795 $1 Draped Bust, Centered--Rim Damage, Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Fine Details. B-15, BB-52, R.2. Light gray patina has gathered close to the borders with silver-gray at the centers. Minor scratches and other tiny blemishes accompany the rim bruises on this lightly cleaned dollar.(Registry values: N1793)
1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off Center PCGS Genuine. B-14, BB-51, R.2. The Off-Center Bust variety, perhaps better called the Uncentered Bust, is only known with perfect dies, according to Bowers and Borckardt. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. The piece has VF details with the obverse repaired, perhaps to remove a jewelry mount.(Registry values: P3, N3)
1797 $1 10x6 Stars, Large Letters--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. VF Details. B-3, BB-71, R.2. An important Guide Book listed variety with bluish-gray patina. The surfaces are pleasing with little evidence of cleaning.(Registry values: P4)
1797 $1 10x6 Stars, Large Letters--Plugged, Cleaned--ANACS. XF Details, Net Fine 12. B-3, BB-71, R.2. The sharpness is approaching XF with a plug visible above Liberty's head, below the B. The surfaces are scratched around and through the plug in an attempt to diminish its appearance. Cleaned but still with some natural gray patina.(Registry values: P4)
1797 $1 9x7 Stars, Large Letters--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Fine Details. B-1, BB-73, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. A slightly glossy pearl-gray and sky-blue example of the scarce Small Eagle design. A pair of faint thin marks near the lips are only apparent upon magnification.(Registry values: N1793)
1797 $1 9x7 Stars, Large Letters--Whizzed--NGC. VF Details. B-1, BB-73, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State I, with "pellet" die flaw below the L in LIBERTY bold. This moderately worn gold-gray coin has been whizzed, possibly to minimize the effect of the scattered abrasions seen on each side.(Registry values: N2998)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF40 PCGS. B-25, BB-123, R.4. This is the Line Star Pattern reverse with the two center stars in the top row overlapping the clouds. Hints of gold toning are evident on each side, and somewhat deeper on the devices. The surfaces have trivial grade-consistent marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF45 PCGS. B-27, BB-113, R.2. The obverse is quickly recognized as the 8 is high and leans to the right. This boldly defined dollar has details that are approaching full AU, and the toning is fully original, deep steel-blue, with light iridescent toning splashed over the surfaces.(Registry values: N1793)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Wide Date, Pointed 9 VG10 PCGS. B-22, BB-104, R.4. A slightly scarce variety, with the 8 high and joined to the drapery. The dark brownish-gray and steel surfaces exhibit a few light marks, including an obverse rim bruise at 2 o'clock and a small scratch near the 9.(Registry values: P1)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Wide Date, Pointed 9 VF20 NGC. B-23, BB-105, R.3. The reverse has a small die lump between star 4 and cloud 5. A pleasing example with faint blue patina over lilac-gray toning. Lighter gold outlines the stars and letters on this pleasing piece. A few minor rim bumps are visible on the obverse.(Registry values: P1)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Wide Date, Pointed 9 AU53 NGC. B-20, BB-102, R.5. Die State IV with a cud at 6 o'clock on the reverse and a heavy die break beneath the right scroll end. The condition of the reverse die undoubtedly contributes to the rarity of B-20. Bowers estimates only 75 to 125 survivors across all grades, only 2 to 4 pieces in AU, and none in Mint State.
This is a splendid Heraldic Eagle dollar without the scratches or rim marks that so often accompany examples of the series. The high points are slate-gray, and contrast mildly with the pearl-gray fields and deep blue-gray borders. Expect stiff competition for this better variety example.(Registry values: P1)

1799 $1 7x6 Stars--Cleaned--ANACS. XF45 Details. B-11, BB-161, R.3. The No Berries reverse die. Light hairlines are evident on each side, those on the obverse are covered with medium gray-brown toning while the reverse surface is light gray-silver color with traces of luster.(Registry values: N1793)
1799 $1 7x6 Stars AU50 PCGS. B-5, BB-157, R.2. A lovely example for the grade, this 1799 silver dollar has pleasing gray-gold toning on both sides, with a peripheral frame of deeper steel and iridescent toning. As a relatively common variety, this piece will be a nice acquisition for a date or type collector.(Registry values: N2998)
1799 $1 Irregular Date, 13 Stars Reverse--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. VF Details. B-13, BB-151, R.5. An example of the Irregular Date obverse, and elusive with this reverse die. This piece has deep steel toning on the obverse, with lighter gray devices. The reverse is similar along the border, with light gray at the center.(Registry values: P1)
1799 $1 Irregular Date, 13 Stars Reverse AU53 PCGS. B-15, BB-152, R.3. This is the Reverse of 1798 variety, with a line star pattern on the reverse. The present AU53 piece is a lovely example of the variety that often comes with cracked obverse and reverse dies. Both sides of this piece are extensively cracked. Both sides have light silver-gray surfaces with traces of luster.(Registry values: P1)
1800 $1 12 Arrows XF45 NGC. B-17, BB-196, R.1. Bowers-Borckardt Die State IV, "scarce." This variety is usually identified by the collar-like clash mark along the upper edge of Liberty's bosom, although a few are known from perfect dies. The example offered here is a problem-free piece with dark brown and iridescent toning.(Registry values: P1)
1802/1 $1 Narrow Date VF20 NGC. B-1, BB-231, R.3. A stone-gray early dollar with peripheral glimpses of russet toning. Most letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are sharp, and evaluation with a lens fails to find any abrasions. The 1 underdigit is obvious, unlike the 1802/1 quarter eagle. one minute rim ding at 7 o'clock.(Registry values: N1793)
1802 $1 Narrow Date--Damaged, Cleaned--ANACS. VF30 Details. B-6, BB-241, R.1. Rotation beneath a light reveals glimpses of luster within the protected areas. The cream-gray and chestnut-tan fields are hairlined, and the portrait has three small gouges. The reverse rim has several dings, particularly at 2, 7, and 9 o'clock.(Registry values: N1793)
1803 $1 Small 3 XF40 PCGS. CAC. B-4, BB-254, R.3. A slightly scarcer variety than the usually encountered B-5, despite identical rarity ratings. Both sides have violet-gray patina in the fields, surrounded by deeper steel-blue peripheries. The surfaces are exceptional for the grade, prompting CAC to provide their seal of approval.(Registry values: N2998)
1803 $1 Large 3 AU58 NGC. B-6, BB-255, R.2. The usually seen Die State II, with a hairline die crack connecting stars 8-9 and another connecting stars 10-12. This is the only Large 3 pairing for the date. Star 1 is distant from the hair, while the 1 in the date virtually touches the lowest curl. Star 13 is near the forward bust tip. The durable reverse die was paired with different obverse dies dated 1801, 1802/1 (two), 1802, and 1803 (two or three). The point of the leftmost arrowhead is under the left edge of the N in UNITED. The eagle chomps down on a star point, and the first A in AMERICA joins the third feather and is connected by a die break to the fourth.
This silver-white piece with light gold accents shows only faint rub on the high points that separates it from Mint State. A few light, scattered marks are of little import, and the strike is well-executed. The reverse is rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise from normal coin turn. An attractive example of the Large 3 Guide Book variety, from the last year of regular-issue silver dollar mintage until 1840.(Registry values: P2)

Gobrecht Dollars
1836 P$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Restrike, Pollock-65, R.5--Obverse Repaired--NGC. Proof. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment I (the center of Liberty's head is opposite the DO in DOLLAR). From the second striking period in later December, as indicated by the faint die clash mark above the eagle's wing that points toward the AT in STATES. This is a beautifully toned example that exhibits golden-gray centers that are surrounded by cobalt-blue peripheral color. The repair indicated on the NGC insert is seen in the right obverse field as a slightly rippled effect, just barely perceptible. Nevertheless, this is an unusually high grade for one of these pieces as all were deposited in a local bank and are usually found in circulated grades.
1836 $1 Judd-60 Original--Obverse Tooled, Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Proof. Silver. Plain edge. Die Alignment I (center of Liberty's head opposite the DO in DOLLAR). The reverse shows the faint die clashing mark above the eagle's wing, indicative of late December strikings. The surfaces net grade PR50. The obverse has murky gray patina, undoubtedly a result of the cleaning, while the reverse is considerably brighter. The obverse fields are tooled, giving that side a slightly wavy appearance.
Seated Dollars
1841 $1 MS62 PCGS. Luster brightens the devices of this fully struck No Motto silver dollar. Orange-gold toning deepens slightly to plum-red along the margins. Neither side has any consequential marks. Judging from PCGS and NGC grading data, the 1841 is typically encountered in XF and AU grades. Certified in a green label holder. Population: 13 in 62, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1842 $1 AU55 NGC. This early No Motto Seated dollar displays luster throughout the devices and margins. A few field marks are concealed beneath the mottled golden-brown, stone-gray, and sky-blue patina. Encased in a former generation holder.(Registry values: N991)
1844 $1 AU53 PCGS. An example of the Quad Stripes variety, as are all business strike 1844 dollars, from a doubled obverse die. The reverse is normal. This piece is well detailed with light silver luster outlining the devices on otherwise darkly toned surfaces.(Registry values: N991)
1846 $1 AU55 NGC. Pink and gold overtones grace the otherwise light silver-gray surfaces on this Choice AU coin. Well-defined in the centers, though the stars are a trifle soft.(Registry values: N991)
1857 $1 MS64 NGC. This near-Gem yields a partially prooflike appearance and is splashed with reddish-brown, purple, and sky-blue patina. Most of the design elements are well struck, though Liberty's head and the adjacent stars are weak, as typically seen. Occasional small marks deny Gem classification. This is a scarce date from a mintage of 94,000 pieces. Census: 16 in 64, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1859-S $1 --Cleaned--ANACS. AU55 Details. The central details are strong on this S-mint Seated dollar, and only light rub is visible on the high points. Numerous fine abrasions are present in the fields, which have partially retoned lavender and gold-gray following a past cleaning.(Registry values: N2998)
1859-S $1 MS61 NGC. Minted primarily for foreign trade, only 20,000 Seated Liberty silver dollars were coined at the San Francisco Mint in 1859. The issue is quite rare in Mint State, as virtually all examples were shipped to the Far East at the time of production. The present coin is well struck and attractively toned in mingled shades of green, lavender, and gray. Census: 6 in 61, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1860 $1 MS64 NGC. For the second year in a row, the Philadelphia Mint produced a sizeable number (217,600 circulation strikes) of Seated Liberty silver dollars in 1860. Despite the relatively high mintage, this issue is seldom encountered in either circulated or Mint State grades; many coins were sent to China and subsequently melted (David Bowers, 2006). The surfaces on this near-Gem coin display soft luster and are deeply toned in steel-gray patina accented with golden hues on each side. The design features are well impressed, and marks are mostly small and well scattered, although several reeding marks appear in the upper reverse field. Census: 16 in 64, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1860-O $1 MS61 NGC. Splashes of peach toning visit the otherwise pale silver-gray surfaces of this lustrous antebellum Seated dollar. The central definition is pleasing, though softness is noted on certain stars. While a number of shallow abrasions affect the obverse fields, the reverse is comparatively clean.(Registry values: N1793)
1871-CC $1 AU55 NGC. The 1871-CC has attained just fame as the lowest-mintage Carson City Seated dollar, with a mere 1,376 examples coined in August of that year, though the 1873-CC Seated dollar is more elusive today. This lightly worn example is highly attractive, with mixed silver-gray and russet-violet shadings dominating each side. The strike is strong overall, and aside from an old pinscratch near Liberty's left (facing) shoulder, the surfaces are surprisingly mark-free. A worthy survivor of high importance to the connoisseur of Old West silver. Census: 5 in 55, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1872-S $1 XF45 NGC. Attractive and natural light gray surfaces show faint traces of iridescent highlights on each side. The surfaces have the usual trivial handling marks that are consistent with the grade. Although the Carson City Seated dollars are more famous, the 1872-S dollar is a true rarity from a mintage of only 9,000 coins. At the modest grade level of the present piece, the current population remains small. Census: 21 in 45, 43 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1872-S $1 --Harshly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. Monochromatic silver surfaces with somewhat reflective fields and hints of lilac on the obverse. This is an elusive date in the Seated Liberty dollar series, and the present piece has much to offer.(Registry values: N1793)
1873 $1 MS64 NGC. The year 1873 marked the end of the Seated Liberty dollar and the beginning of the Trade dollar, by way of the "Crime of '73," and accordingly the year has a peculiar appeal to numismatists, most notably "Mr. 1873," Harry X Boosel. The Seated dollars of 1873 were all of the Closed 3 date variety. The issue is scarce in Mint State, as large numbers of circulation strikes and proofs were melted. This is a splendid silver-white piece with much flowing luster and excellent eye appeal. The few scattered marks account for the grade but do not diminish the viewer's enthusiasm.(Registry values: N4719)
Proof Seated Dollars
1843 $1 PR64 NGC. Ex: Pittman-Kaufman. Like the proof 1843 dime in the present sale from the same sources, this PR64 NGC Seated dollar is also in an updated NGC encapsulation since its last appearance with us. It is nonetheless, readily identified both via the NGC insert and via plate-matching back to the Pittman Collection (Akers, 10/1997), where it was part of lot 832, a complete 1843 proof set from half cent through eagle in its original case. We have identified five separate examples of the proof 1843 Seated dollar, although a couple of others may exist, and this piece is tied with two other PR64 NGC pieces for finest certified.
In cataloging this coin for the Kaufman Collection, we described it in these terms:
We would add little to the description, above except to point out that such a coin is seldom available, and it is much rarer than recent appearances might lead one to believe. Once it finds a permanent place in some fine cabinet, it might be decades before it appears again in the marketplace. Astute collectors should be prepared and act accordingly.
Ex: Part of a complete proof set, half cent through dollar, with original case purchased from Judge Joseph F. Sawicki, May 10, 1948; John Jay Pittman Collection (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 832 (part of an 1843 proof set); The Phil Kaufman Collection of Early Proof Sets, Part Four (Heritage, 7/2008, lot 1810).(Registry values: N10218)
In cataloging this coin for the Kaufman Collection, we described it in these terms:
"A mélange of violet, sky-blue, reddish-gold, and golden-orange patination adorns both sides of this near-Gem proof, being somewhat softer in hue in the fields. The toning does not completely mask the mirrors of the latter, hence a degree of contrast with the motifs is evident when the coin is tilted slightly beneath a light source. A solid strike lends exceptional detail to the design elements, including complete separation of Liberty's foot, sandal, and straps, and bold ribbing on the reverse leaves and arrow heads. A minute mark to the right of star 9 aids in identifying the coin."

1846 $1 PR64 NGC. Ex: Pittman-Richmond. This piece bears the distinguished Pittman-Kaufman pedigree on its new NGC encapsulation, but it is a coin that we have handled a couple of times previously. This piece has a memorable pedigree that extends back to the "World's Greatest Collection" of legendary numismatist F.C.C. Boyd, along with such later luminaries of numismatics as famed Hollywood actor Adolphe Menjou, John Jay Pittman, and Jack Lee. When we offered the piece in January of this year, we wrote this about the coin:
This piece in PR64 is one of eight coins so certified at NGC, with one PR66 finer. PCGS has graded three PR64 pieces, with one PR65 finer. Although the total at both services stands at 23, we doubt that more than 15 different pieces exist.
Ex: World's Greatest Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 1/1945), lot 135; Adolphe Menjou (Numismatic Gallery, 6/1950), lot 2091; John J. Pittman (David Akers, 5/1998), lot 1674; Richmond Collection (David Lawrence, 11/2004), lot 1511; Estate of Jack Lee Collection (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 3962.(Registry values: N7079)
"This boldly blundered date has the first impression about 50% below the final date position. In the World's Greatest Collection catalog, Abe Kosoff and Abner Kreisberg cataloged the variety as '1846 over 44.' A half century before that, David Proskey called the variety '1846 over 45' in the Parmelee catalog.
"Proof silver dollars of 1846 exist in two different varieties. David Akers wrote in the Pittman catalog that the 1846 Seated dollars were the only proofs of the 1840s with more than one variety, apparently overlooking the second variety of proof 1845. About 10 to 15 examples of the blundered date proof are known, and about five or six examples of the normal date are known. The known population includes an example in the Smithsonian Institution, along with numerous auction appearances. Our database includes 50 different auction appearances of proof 1846 dollars.
"A wonderful proof, this example is fully and deeply mirrored around satiny devices, all beneath predominant steel-blue toning, with lighter gold and bright silver at the centers."
This piece in PR64 is one of eight coins so certified at NGC, with one PR66 finer. PCGS has graded three PR64 pieces, with one PR65 finer. Although the total at both services stands at 23, we doubt that more than 15 different pieces exist.
Ex: World's Greatest Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 1/1945), lot 135; Adolphe Menjou (Numismatic Gallery, 6/1950), lot 2091; John J.

1850 $1 PR64 PCGS. Breen-5443. An original struck from uncracked dies, the variety determined by the open 5 in the date and the repunching at the bottom of the last digit. The reverse has two small points protruding from the lowest line of the second A in AMERICA; while Breen's Encyclopedia claims that this feature has not been observed on originals, the Bowers reference Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States flatly contradicts Breen's observation. Empirical evidence from this proof supports Bowers, and what supports the eye appeal of this near-Gem proof is the vivid patina over strikingly mirrored surfaces. Blue-green and violet shadings dominate the obverse, while the reverse offers overt gold-orange hues. A handful of contact marks are visible in the fields. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N7079)
1862 $1 PR63 PCGS. Proof silver dollars dated 1862 come under strong pressure owing to the rarity of circulation strikes. This Select proof is uniformly toned on both sides in gunmetal-blue and purple around the borders and soft champagne-silver in the centers. An exacting strike imparts bold definition to the design features, further enhancing the coin's eye appeal. Wispy handling marks in the fields preclude a finer grade. Population: 49 in 63, 38 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1869 $1 PR63 PCGS. The brilliant, untoned silver surfaces provide easily viewed cameo contrast, although no such designation has been given to this piece. The fields are fully mirrored, framing the lustrous devices. The strike is nearly full, with slight weakness on a few feathers on the reverse.(Registry values: N2998)
1870 $1 PR62 PCGS. A veneer of light golden-tan color covers both sides and a solid strike leaves sharp definition on the devices. What appear to be thin toning lines are visible in the right obverse field.(Registry values: N1793)
1870 $1 PR64 PCGS. Ex: Eliasberg. Housed in a green label PCGS holder, this near-Gem from the famous Eliasberg Collection has fully original and beautiful gold toning with peripheral blue and iridescent splashes. A few trivial and hidden marks in the obverse field keep it below the Gem grades. The provenance dates back to the late 1800s.
Ex: George Crawford Collection (Charles Steigerwalt, 7/1895); J.M. Clapp; John H. Clapp; Clapp Estate; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Estate (Bowers and Merena, 4/1997), lot 2241.(Registry values: N2998)

1871 $1 PR62 ANACS. A narrow but attractive band of medium intensity cobalt-blue, lavender, and golden-brown toning gravitates to the margins of this bright proof, and full striking definition is apparent on the design elements. A small patch of light hairlines extends from the left obverse field across Liberty's midsection. These sound worse than they are, because they only become visible when the coin is tilted at just the right angle under a light.(Registry values: N1793)
1871 $1 PR63 Cameo PCGS. Light honey toning visits this nicely mirrored and fully struck Select specimen. The reverse field has a few faint abrasions. Frost is generally consistent across the devices and legends, although most prominent on the seated Liberty. Only 960 proofs were struck. Population: 9 in 63 Cameo, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1873 $1 PR55 ANACS. Sun-gold, electric-blue, and rose-violet peripheral toning encompasses the untoned centers. Moderate field chatter indicates light circulation, but the devices retain much of their initial frost and display only a whisper of wear.(Registry values: N1)
1873 $1 PR64 Cameo PCGS. The obverse and reverse surfaces of this Choice Cameo proof are brilliant and untoned, save for wispy champagne color on each side. The contrast between the mirrored fields and lustrous devices is sufficient that some observer's will undoubtedly consider this an Ultra Cameo proof.(Registry values: N2998)
Trade Dollars
1873-CC T$1 --Obverse Damage, Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. The obverse has a few small scratches, and tiny imperfections, while the reverse also has a few faint scratches. Bright silver surfaces are untoned save for subliminal champagne color. An excellent example and elusive in higher grades.(Registry values: N1793)
1873-CC T$1 AU55 PCGS. A boldly impressed example of this first-year Carson City Trade dollar issue. While light wear is noted on the high points of the design, particularly the eagle's claws, the luster of the silver-white fields remains flashy and seems virtually undisturbed. Only under closer inspection do telltale marks of circulation appear. Population: 24 in 55, 60 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC T$1 MS61 NGC. Period after FINE. Micro CC. A well-defined and strongly lustrous example of this second-year Carson City Trade dollar issue. Light gold-gray color prevails, though splashes of deeper orange are present through the fields and splashes of blue-violet visit the upper obverse. Scattered wispy abrasions and a few more significant marks account for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1875 T$1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Type Two Reverse. The reverse is missing the olive berry below the right (facing) claw. The 1875 Trade dollar is a condition rarity in high grades, and scarce in nearly all grades. This piece is a splendid Choice Mint State example with pale yellow toning over frosty silver luster. Population: 18 in 64, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1875-S T$1 Chop Mark MS62 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Breen-5794. Highly lustrous with excellent detail, save for the area directly opposite the lone chop. The mark is in the left obverse field and overlaps Liberty's legs.
1875-S T$1 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Type One Reverse. A frosty Mint State example with excellent design definition and brilliant silver luster. Both sides have light silver surfaces with only a trace of champagne toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1875-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Type One Reverse. Pleasing luster emanates from both sides of this near-Gem, and a well directed strike imparts sharp delineation to the design elements save for weakness in Liberty's hair and the adjacent stars. Violet-blue and gold patina embraces each face, both of which show light roller marks. The '75-S is readily available in the lower Mint State grades (MS60 to MS63). Near-Gems are scarce and higher-grade coins are rare.(Registry values: N2998)
1875-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. Type One Reverse. With a mintage figure that approached 4.5 million pieces, the 1875-S had the highest mintage of any Trade dollar to that time, and Mint State pieces are available today. Still, near-Gem representatives can be elusive. This strongly lustrous example is subtly gold-tinged overall with a touch of deeper color at the beginning of AMERICA on the reverse. Well-defined overall, though a touch of softness is noted at Liberty's head and the eagle's right (facing) claw.(Registry values: N2998)
1876 T$1 MS64 PCGS. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse. The 1876 has a relatively low mintage of 455,000 circulation strikes. The surfaces show dusky grayish-tan patination with electric-blue accents concentrated at the borders of this near-Gem. The reverse fields show pronounced reflectivity that is evident even through the toning. Generally well struck except for the usual weakness on the eagle's left (facing) claw. A faint linear graze in the left obverse field denies Gem classification. Near-Gem pieces are generally the finest available of this issue.(Registry values: N2998)
1876-CC T$1 AU55 PCGS. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse. This transitional half dollar was struck from an old hub obverse die and a new hub reverse die. The change took place in 1875 and 1876. A brilliant Choice AU piece, this splendid piece will fill the hole of an advanced collector.(Registry values: N991)
1876-CC T$1 AU58 NGC. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse, Tall CC. This is an overlooked issue that in reality is conditionally rare, and seldom indeed seen in Mint State. This variety of Trade dollar is relatively available in low grades, but most examples of the issue have planchet problems or other distractions. This near-Mint State piece offers silver-white surfaces with no hint of color, along with lavish luster and excellent eye appeal. Census: 26 in 58, 47 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1877-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. Large S. The 1877-S Trade dollar can be located through the near-Gem level of preservation, but is difficult any finer. The partially prooflike fields yield modest contrast with the well defined design motifs. A few minor handling marks preclude Gem classification. Nice overall eye appeal for the grade designation.(Registry values: N2998)
1878-S T$1 MS64 ★ NGC. A simply fantastic near-Gem from the final year of business strike Trade dollar production. The fields are fantastically flashy, and the obverse also shows a degree of watery reflectivity. Minimally toned with boldly defined centers that show no singularly mentionable flaws. Census: 53 in 64, 41 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1878-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. The 1878-S Trade dollar with a mintage exceeding 4 million pieces is one of the more common issues in the series, though the certified population drops significantly between near-Gem and Gem. Whispers of light gold-tan embrace the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem and an impressive strike delivers strong definition to the motifs. A few trivial marks deny Gem status. Population: 73 in 64, 35 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1878-S T$1 MS65 NGC. Cartwheel luster dominates this sharply impressed Gem, which has smooth surfaces and medium tan toning. Many 1878-S Trade dollars were exported to the Orient, or melted following passage of the Bland-Allison Act. Gems are both rare and desirable. Census: 24 in 65, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
Proof Trade Dollars
1873 T$1 PR62 NGC. First year of the Trade dollar, and the present proof is an attractive champagne-toned representative. Small splashes of iridescent toning appear on each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1874 T$1 PR58 ANACS. Both sides show light but distinct rub on the high points, which accounts for the grade. The broad mirrors, pale silver-gray with green-gold accents on the rims, have their reflectivity intact.(Registry values: N1)
1875 T$1 PR64 Cameo NGC. Type Two Reverse. Highly attractive, variegated gunmetal-blue, lavender, and orange-gold patination gravitates to the margins of this near-Gem, ceding to freckles of light gold in the central areas. Sharply struck, save for minor weakness in Liberty's hair and the adjacent stars. A few faint handling marks preclude Gem status.(Registry values: N2998)
1876 T$1 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse. This popular Centennial issue is seldom seen with such incredible black and white contrast. Both sides have fully brilliant, untoned proof surfaces with deeply mirrored fields and frosty devices. Census: 4 in 64 Ultra Cameo, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1879 T$1 PR64 PCGS. The 1879, first of the Trade dollar proof-only issues that wrap up the series, was produced to the extent of 1,541 coins, but most survivors today average PR62-PR63. This near-Gem proof boasts bright silver-white surfaces with considerable field-device contrast, even though it is unnoted on the holder. PCGS has certified 66 examples finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1879 T$1 PR64 PCGS. Soft champagne-gold patina covers this highly attractive near-Gem example. Mirrored fields highlight the sharply struck design elements when the coin is tilted at various angles under a light source. Nicely preserved throughout. David Bowers (2006) writes: "A spate of investment interest late in the year accounts for the unusually high (for a Proof) production."(Registry values: N2998)
1879 T$1 PR64 PCGS. Here is an amazing, fully brilliant near-Gem proof with excellent field to device contrast on both sides, despite the lack of a Cameo designation. A proof-only issue, the 1879 is a perfect coin for the advanced type collector from a mintage of about 1,500 coins.(Registry values: N2998)
1880 T$1 PR64 NGC. The intense grayish toning resolves under a light into delightful hues of aqua and pink, with some silver remaining on the obverse devices. This coin is well-struck save for a few of the stars at the obverse rim, but the central devices on each side show a wealth of detail. A nice type coin.(Registry values: N2998)
1880 T$1 PR64 PCGS. Of interest to a wide range of collectors, this lovely example is almost brilliant. There is just the slightest hint of golden patina around the margins on each side. The mirrored fields are deeply reflective and there is slight, but noticeable contrast against the frosted devices. A wonderful type coin from this low-mintage, proof-only year.(Registry values: N2998)
1880 T$1 PR64 Cameo NGC. Gold-orange and blue-green peripheral shadings give way to near-brilliant centers on this appreciably contrasted Trade dollar proof. Strongly mirrored with bold central definition, though a few of the obverse stars show trifling softness. NGC has graded 81 finer Cameo specimens (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1880 T$1 PR66 Cameo NGC. Despite a mintage of nearly 2,000 pieces, the 1880 proof issue is more elusive in high grades than a handful of other dates with lower mintages. This Premium Gem is a coin of obvious quality, with gleaming silver-white fields and noticeably contrasting, impressively frosted devices. A few shallow planchet flaws to the right of the date do not affect the technical grade. Census: 39 in 66 Cameo, 20 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1880 T$1 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. High-grade proof Trade dollars with Ultra or Deep Cameo surfaces are few and far between, but when they are found in the numismatic marketplace, they are glories to behold. Fortunately, it is perhaps the lack of any business strike counterparts that ensured that collectors of the era would faithfully preserve some of the proof examples we know today, as the 1879-1882 Trade dollars are the most commonly encountered proofs that show a high degree of contrast. This marvelous 1880 shows an ample measure of the always-desired silver-on-black contrast produced by frosted devices against profound field reflectivity. A small strikethrough of lint in the left obverse field is as-made and undistracting. The reverse shows equal appeal, and both sides are essentially devoid of color. Census: 2 in 66 Ultra Cameo, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1881 T$1 PR64 NGC. A lovely example of the proof-only 1881 Trade dollar. Beginning in 1878 with the introduction of the Morgan silver dollars, all Philadelphia Mint Trade dollars were struck only in proof format through the end of the series. This piece has gold toning with splashes of russet, violet, and blue.(Registry values: N2998)
1881 T$1 PR63 Cameo PCGS. A faint coat of champagne toning is seen over the obverse and reverse of this lovely cameo proof with its deep mirrors that frame the lustrous devices. This issue is the fourth of six proof-only dates from 1878 to 1883 that conclude the contemporaneous Trade dollar series. Two other clandestine issues, the 1884 and 1885, were struck at a later date and are seldom included in Trade dollar sets.(Registry values: N2998)
1882 T$1 PR63 NGC. Although a few faint hairlines are present, this fully brilliant silver piece, with no evidence of toning, is an attractive example of the proof-only 1882 Trade dollar. The reverse is slightly hazy, subduing the mirrored fields. Both sides retain traces of cameo contrast.(Registry values: N1793)
1882 T$1 PR64 PCGS. Medium intensity violet, aqua-green, orange, and yellow-gold patination takes on slightly deeper shades on the obverse of this near-Gem, and an above average strike leaves strong detail on the design elements. Liberty's head, though not full, shows much better definition than often seen on this issue. The stars adjacent to the head are soft as usual. Both sides are devoid of significant marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1883 T$1 PR62 PCGS. The last obtainable proof-only Trade dollar issue, as the 1884 and 1885 Trade dollars are clandestine productions of great rarity and mystery. This deeply toned specimen displays highlights of silver-pink and blue under a light, but there are few visible signs of contact. It is likely only the somewhat muted luster that precludes an even finer grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1883 T$1 PR64 NGC. Always a popular issue, as most of us will never be able to afford an 1884 or 1885 Trade dollar, thus making the 1883 the end of the line for the vast majority of date collectors. Well-mirrored and lacking any obvious contact marks or spots, each side has deep smoky-gray toning with turquoise-blue accents around the margins.(Registry values: N2998)
1883 T$1 PR64 PCGS. Always a popular issue, as most of us mere mortals will never be able to afford an 1884 or 1885 Trade dollar, thus making the 1883 the end of the line for the vast majority of date collectors. Well mirrored and lacking any obvious contact marks, each side has smoky gray toning with deeper blue accents around the margins.(Registry values: N2998)
Session 2
Morgan Dollars
1878 8TF $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-3. Although designated as "Spiked Eye" by PCGS, this is not the rare Top 100 VAM-14.11. A brilliant Gem with booming luster, a bold strike, and a clean appearance. Strongly die doubled near 9 o'clock on the reverse.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1878 7/8TF $1 Strong--Harshly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. VAM-44. A Top 100 variety. This is the well-known Triple Blossoms variety. Although clearly cleaned, this piece has a pleasing pale peripheral patina. The lavender and gold toning frames the prooflike fields and lustrous devices. A scarce and highly popular variety.(Registry values: P5, N208)
1878 7TF $1 Reverse of 1878 PCGS. VAM-84A, R.5. One of the "Elite Clashed Morgan Dollar" varieties, a portion of an E (from LIBERTY) is very faintly visible left of the loop of the wreath knot. A dash is present beneath the 8 in the date, and the L in LIBERTY is "Washed Out." Long nock B1 reverse. Lustrous and crisply struck with straw-gold toning aside from a band of rich tan-brown along the obverse rim.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878 7TF $1 Reverse of 1879 MS65 NGC. An essentially untoned reverse cedes to electric-blue, lavender, and orange-gold patina on the obverse. Lustrous surfaces are suitably struck and well preserved. PCGS has seen a mere six finer specimens.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1878-CC $1 MS65 NGC. Electric-blue, lavender, and golden-orange patination at the borders is more extensive on the obverse. The central reverse is color free while the obverse center is gold-gray. Sharply struck, revealing no marks worthy of individual mention.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Peach patina adorns the lower obverse margin, but most of this lustrous Carson City Gem remains brilliant. Sharply struck except for the eagle's right (facing) claw. Certified in an old green label holder.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878-CC $1 MS65 ★ NGC. VAM-2A, R.5. Remarkable streaks of ocean-blue, plum-red, and honey-gold alternate across the obverse, leaving a window of brilliance near the bust tip. The reverse is lightly toned in peripheral tan-gold. Lustrous and sharply struck. LIBERTY is minutely die doubled, and a prominent die chip rests on the lower nose.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878-CC $1 MS65 Prooflike NGC. VAM-11. A Top 100 Variety. The popular "Lines in Eagle's Wing" VAM. This untoned Gem has blatantly reflective fields, and both sides exhibit modest white on black contrast. Well struck aside from blending on the eagle's claws.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878-CC $1 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. Decisively struck with thickly frosted devices. Lightly abraded, minimally toned mirrors offer reflectivity even at arm's length. This captivating Select coin shows a shiny spot at the eagle's lower breast, the result of an abrasion.(Registry values: P4, N491)
1878-CC $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Between the moderate frost on the crisply struck devices and the potent mirrors of the fields, this first-year Carson City Morgan dollar has outstanding contrast. Small areas of light cloud-gray toning visit parts of each side, and a touch of gold is present near the rims. Population: 31 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4, N2998)
1879-CC $1 AU55 ANACS. Perfect Mintmark. Housed in a new ANACS holder, this piece is silver-white with good eye appeal and only light wear on the high points. Liberty's cheek and the surfaces overall are clean, with a couple of grade-consistent ticks on the eagle's breast. An attractive Choice AU example of this popular key date that will fit well into a Mint State set.(Registry values: P7, N991)
1879-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. Essentially untoned surfaces display pleasing luster and a modest degree of field-device contrast. The design elements are better struck than usually seen, including good definition in the centers. Some minute marks preclude a finer grade. Probably hundreds of thousands of the original 756,000-piece mintage were melted under the Pittman Act.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1879-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. An attractive example of this popular earlier Carson City Morgan dollar, which had less representation in government holdings than several surrounding dates. This Select piece is well struck and has warm luster with semireflective fields, and hints of gold-gray patina are seen on each side. Aside from a few abrasions on the portrait, the coin has clean surfaces for the grade.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Boldly struck, lustrous, and nearly untoned with smooth fields and a few minor grazes on Liberty's face. Much scarcer than its 1878-CC predecessor. It is curious that all 1879-CC dollars are the Third Reverse subtype, while two 1880-CC VAMs bear the Second Reverse design.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS64 PCGS. GSA. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. A shining near-Gem example of this popular repunched mintmark variety, immensely lustrous through a thin skin of medium-gray toning that shows subtle variations and streaks at the upper reverse. Minimally abraded for the grade and most appealing. PCGS has graded nine finer examples for the variety (10/09).(Registry values: P6, N2998)
1879-S $1 MS68 NGC. This completely brilliant, untoned coin at first glance appears to be a proof, the surfaces are so pristine. Careful perusal with a high-power loupe reveals only three faint reeding marks, easily missed, in the left obverse field before Liberty's face. These are the only observable abrasions on the entire coin. Frosty luster covers both sides in a heavy layer, with a couple of small shiny areas on the eagle's breast and wings that did not fully strike up, representing the deepest recesses of the die. The bold strike reveals details on Liberty's hair that go unseen on lesser coins. Unimprovable quality: neither service has graded a single coin of this issue finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. Semiprooflike fields establish modest contrast with the sharply struck design elements. Light orange-gold color bathes the obverse, leaving the reverse color free. Minor obverse grazes deny Gem status. Difficult to acquire any finer.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. Golden-orange patination adorns the obverse ceding to soft bluish-purple and champagne color on the reverse. Sharply struck, including full detail in the hair over Liberty's ear. A handful of minor ticks prevent Gem status.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. Impressively patinated in swaths of magenta, navy-blue, chestnut-gold, and forest-green. Well struck and lustrous with smooth fields and faint cheek abrasions. A popular and scarce variety.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1879-S $1 Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. Pleasing luster resides on the silver-white surfaces of this near-Gem S-mint representative. Sharply struck, and revealing a few light abrasions that preclude Gem status.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1880-CC $1 MS65 NGC. Outstanding flashy luster in the fields with amply frosted devices. A thin layer of cloud-white patina graces much of the surface area on this highly attractive Gem.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1880-CC $1 MS65 NGC. A lovely representative of the popular 1880-CC Morgan dollar, this example with the usual Third Reverse. Both sides are highly lustrous with mostly brilliant silver surfaces and delicate champagne toning concentrated along the borders.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1880-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. This suitably struck CC-mint representative displays pleasing luster on its minimally abraded surfaces. Both sides are essentially untoned.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1880-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. An occasional wisp of light tan color visits the lustrous surfaces of this delightful Gem. Well struck and revealing just a few inoffensive grade-consistent marks.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1880-CC $1 MS66 NGC. Semiprooflike fields yield mild contrast with the well struck motifs. Color free surfaces are devoid of mentionable marks. Pleasing overall eye appeal.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1880-CC $1 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. In addition to the considerable reflectivity in the faintly gray-toned mirrors, each side shows considerable contrast thanks to rich frost across the central devices. A crisply defined Premium Gem example with just a few faint grazes on Liberty's neck precluding an even finer designation. Population: 7 in 66 Prooflike, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4, N2998)
1880-CC $1 8 Over Low 7 MS65 PCGS. CAC. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. This nearly brilliant Gem has sweeping luster and splendidly preserved fields. The centers show traces of roller marks, as made, but the overall strike is bold.(Registry values: P4)
1880-CC $1 8 Over Low 7 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. The top part of the 7 is nearly centered within the upper loop of the second 8 in the date. Sharply struck frosty devices stand out amidst the reflective fields.(Registry values: P4)
1880/79-CC $1 Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. CAC. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. Silver-gray lustrous surfaces display occasional hints of gold-tan. A sharply struck piece with just a few minor grazes.(Registry values: P5, N991)
1880/79-CC $1 Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. This lightly toned Carson City silver dollar has vibrant luster, clean fields, and a smooth reverse. The cheek displays delicate marks consistent with the grade.(Registry values: P5, N991)
1880/79-CC $1 Reverse of 1878 MS66 NGC. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. While not specifically described as an overdate on the holder, the underdigits 79 are visible beneath the 80, and the reverse has the parallel top arrow feather and flatness on the eagle's breast. Pleasing luster embraces both sides of this well struck Premium Gem. A few light grazes on the untoned surfaces are undisturbing. Census for the variety: 20 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5, N2998)
1880/79-CC $1 Reverse of 1878 MS66 NGC. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. A brilliant and boldly struck Premium Gem with dazzling luster and exemplary preservation. The most obvious overdate in the Morgan dollar series, and a testament to the surrender of quality control given the necessity to manufacture a large number of dies quickly. Census: 20 in 66, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5, N2998)
1880-CC $1 8/7 Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. VAM-7. One of only two 1880-CC VAMs with a parallel top feather that identifies the Second Reverse or Reverse of 1878. Lightly toned and lustrous with no obvious marks.(Registry values: P5)
1880-CC $1 8/7 Reverse of 1878 MS64 NGC. VAM-7. The minor overdate, most apparent as a "dash" below the second 8 in the date. Peach peripheral hues give way to silver-gray at the lustrous centers.(Registry values: P5)
1880-CC $1 8/7 Reverse of 1878 MS64 NGC. VAM-7. Of the two Reverse of 1878 variants, this is the minor overdate. Boldly struck, thickly frosted devices offer a contrast to the cartwheel luster in the fields.(Registry values: P5)
1880-CC $1 8/7 Reverse of 1878 MS65 NGC. VAM-7. The minor overdate, visible as a short horizontal feature below the second 8 in the date. This strongly struck example is minimally toned with considerable frostiness on the devices.(Registry values: P5)
1880-O $1 MS64 PCGS. Splashes of electric-blue, lavender, and golden-brown toning visit the obverse of this near-Gem, leaving the reverse color free. Luminous surfaces exhibit sharply struck devices. Some minute handling marks deny Gem designation, an infrequently seen grade for this issue.(Registry values: P6, N1793)
1880-O $1 MS64 PCGS. Soft yellow-gold patination on the obverse is replaced by deeper orange-gold, lavender, and purple on the reverse. Suitable definition characterizes the design elements. A few minute ticks deny Gem status.(Registry values: P6, N1793)
1880-O $1 MS64 PCGS. Micro O. Light chestnut-gold and powder-blue patina visits this thoroughly lustrous and precisely struck near-Gem. Surprisingly smooth despite a tick on the left (facing) wing. Encased in a green label holder.(Registry values: P6, N1793)
1880-O $1 MS64 PCGS. Light gray surfaces display peripheral cobalt-blue accents on the obverse and reddish-gray on the reverse. Pleasing luster, well struck devices, and minimally abraded surfaces round out the coin's eye appeal.(Registry values: P6, N1793)
1880-O $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. Certified in a green-label holder with the impressive Jack Lee pedigree, this splendid Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike coin is from an issue that exceeds 5.3 million coins. Despite that enormous emission from the New Orleans Mint at the turn of the 1880s, this is the sole MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike certified of the issue at PCGS, and there are none such at NGC (10/09).
The challenges involved in finding a Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike example of this issue boil down to circulation, strike, luster and contrast, and bag marks, not necessarily in order of importance.
Concerning circulation, most examples of the large 1880-O production appear to have circulated for at least a short while, so that today the average grade of certified survivors is only MS62 or thereabouts. In other words, for every Gem certified at NGC and PCGS, there is an AU58 coin graded as well.
Strike is a problem with the issue, if not to the same degree as some later O-mint issues. All 1880-O Morgans have the reverse of 1879, with slanted top arrow feather on the reverse and rounded breast on the eagle. (Bowers comments, "A number of dies were overdated and show small traces of earlier digits. These have not created much attention in the marketplace, save for dyed-in-the-wool specialists." The present piece is one such.) Many 1880-Os show noticeable softness in the hair over Liberty's ear or on the eagle's breast.
Some of the 1880-O dollars show satiny or greasy luster and/or little to no contrast, neither feature conducive to a Deep Mirror Prooflike certification. Prooflike coins exist, but few of them attain the Gem level.
Bagmarks can vary for the issue; some 1880-Os show severe bag marks, although there are many pleasing exceptions.
In summary, this coin is a phenomenon that defies several stereotypes in order to reach the summit, the crème de la crème. The strike is pleasingly bold on surfaces that are silver-white, with no trace of color. The devices exhibit thick mint frost, with radiant field mirrors. The few ticks in the field are minor, consistent with the Gem grade--but there are no marks of significance.
With an impressive pedigree, early green-label holder, and a PCGS-certified population of one coin, this Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike 1880-O Morgan is suited for the finest collection and must be considered among the most important Morgan dollar offerings in this auction. Population: 1 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6, N4719)
The challenges involved in finding a Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike example of this issue boil down to circulation, strike, luster and contrast, and bag marks, not necessarily in order of importance.
Concerning circulation, most examples of the large 1880-O production appear to have circulated for at least a short while, so that today the average grade of certified survivors is only MS62 or thereabouts. In other words, for every Gem certified at NGC and PCGS, there is an AU58 coin graded as well.
Strike is a problem with the issue, if not to the same degree as some later O-mint issues. All 1880-O Morgans have the reverse of 1879, with slanted top arrow feather on the reverse and rounded breast on the eagle.

1880/79-O $1 MS62 Deep Mirror Prooflike ANACS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. Micro O. Cherry-red adorns the borders, while the fields and devices offer honey-gold. This flashy and boldly impressed New Orleans dollar has moderately abraded fields and a relatively clean cheek.(Registry values: P6)
1880-S $1 MS67 ★ NGC. CAC. The 1880-S is a plentiful issue as inspection of NGC/PCGS data indicates; the two services have certified tens of thousands of pieces. NGC's Star designation and the CAC green label affirm the appeal of this Superb Gem. Lustrous surfaces exhibit crisply struck design motifs and are immaculately preserved. Both sides are essentially untoned.(Registry values: P1, N991)
1880-S $1 MS67 NGC. CAC. The Medium S mintmark appears repunched within the upper loop. This essentially brilliant Superb Gem has a good strike and exemplary surfaces. The reverse is moderately prooflike.(Registry values: P1, N991)

1880-S $1 MS67 Prooflike NGC. Impeccably preserved surfaces display sharply impressed design elements. Both sides are color free.(Registry values: P1, N991)
1881-CC $1 MS65 NGC. Excellent detail with occasional glimpses of yellow on surfaces that are otherwise shining silver-white. A strongly appealing Gem example of this popular Carson City issue.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1881-CC $1 MS66 NGC. Sharply struck with shining cartwheel luster and frosty devices. The surfaces are generally pale silver-gray with occasional hints of cloud-white toning.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1881-CC $1 MS66 PCGS. This low mintage Carson City Morgan has exemplary luster and barely a wisp of tan toning. The strike is sharp, the fields are well preserved, and the cheek shows only subtle contact.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1881-CC $1 MS66 NGC. VAM-2 with prominent recutting within the 8s in the date. This lustrous and essentially brilliant Carson City Morgan has virtually pristine fields, and the cheek displays only delicate grazes.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1881-CC $1 MS67 NGC. Boldly struck and immensely lustrous with lightly frosted central devices. Great eye appeal for this popular Carson City issue, which has a low mintage of 296,000 pieces but was heavily represented in government holdings through the time of the GSA sales. NGC has graded just three numerically finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: P4, N2998)
1881-S $1 MS67 NGC. Dappled orange-gold and powder-blue shades endow the obverse, while the reverse is completely untoned. Cartwheel luster dominates, and the strike is unassailable. The reverse is splendidly preserved, and the cheekbone has only faint contact.(Registry values: P1, N991)
1881-S $1 MS67 NGC. CAC. The predominantly sun-gold reverse cedes to arcs of ruby-red and navy-blue near the exergue. The obverse is brilliant save for a rich band of orange-gold across the margin. The reverse is prooflike, the obverse has blazing cartwheel luster, and both sides are well struck and unabraded save for faint marks near the arrowheads.(Registry values: P1, N991)
1881-S $1 MS67 PCGS. A flashy and dramatically toned example of this popular type issue. The obverse has dramatic yellow toning over the obverse with peripheral magenta and mint-green elements. The reverse has similar colors close to the rims, but the centers are near-brilliant.(Registry values: P1, N991)
1881-S $1 MS67 ★ NGC. Mounted reverse-up in the holder to showcase that side's dramatic crescent toning, which shows in blues and greens on the lower two-thirds of the reverse. The rest of that side, as well as the obverse, is near-brilliant.(Registry values: P1, N991)
1882 $1 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Delicate straw-gold toning precludes full brilliance, but this boldly struck Premium Gem has booming luster and exceptionally clean surfaces. Virtually unobtainable any finer, and a bargain relative to its more conditionally collectible Carson City counterpart.(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1882-CC $1 MS66 NGC. Razor-sharp striking definition with flashy cartwheel luster. The obverse has upper blue and green patina that fades through orange and yellow as the eye travels down; similar colors are dappled at the reverse periphery.(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1882-CC $1 MS66 NGC. Lustrous and meticulously struck with an exacting strike and beautifully preserved fields. The face and neck have few delicate grazes. A flashy Carson City type coin.(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1882-O $1 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. The 1882-O is plentiful in Mint State, but DMPL examples are somewhat scarce. This well struck and untoned near-Gem has obviously reflective fields and lacks distracting marks.(Registry values: P3)
1882-S $1 MS68 NGC. The 1882-S is one of the most plentiful early Morgan dollars in Mint State. Only in the lofty grade of MS68, that of the present offering, does this issue become a challenge to locate. Vibrant luster endows this wonderful specimen, as does an exacting strike. Untoned surfaces are immaculately preserved. Census: 76 in 68, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1882-S $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. An astoundingly reflective example of this San Francisco issue, one found far less frequently in Deep Mirror Prooflike condition than its two S-mint predecessors. Strong mirrors show a hint of peripheral golden patina. Population: 32 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1883 $1 MS67 ★ NGC. An incredible Star designated Superb Gem Morgan dollar, this 1883 is deeply toned on the obverse with turquoise, mauve, lemon-yellow, and pale green. The reverse is mostly brilliant with peripheral sea-green, russet, and gold. NGC has certified more than 15,000 1883 Morgan dollars, with just 70 pieces assigned the Star designation. Of those, the present example is the only MS67 ★ with none finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2, N1793)
1883-CC $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Deep mirrors accentuate lightly frosted design features. A bit of soft gold color rests on Liberty's cheek. A few minor grazes are undisturbing.(Registry values: P2, N991)
1883-S $1 MS63 PCGS. Ebullient luster greets the observer of this exquisitely struck Select Morgan. Some minute marks on the untoned surfaces limit the grade.(Registry values: P7, N1793)
1883-S $1 MS64 PCGS. In spite of its mintage of 6.2 million pieces, the 1883-S Morgan dollar is a difficult coin to locate, especially in Mint State. The present coin is an attractive MS64 specimen, Q. David Bowers' recommended Optimal Collecting Grade. Only 36 coins have been certified in higher grades by NGC and PCGS combined, as of (10/09). Sharply struck and attractively toned in peripheral shades of lilac and green, a few shallow handling marks on Liberty's cheek probably prevent a higher grade.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1884-CC $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Fabulous field-motif contrast is evident over both sides of this exquisitely struck Gem. A few wisps of faint gold color are visible under magnification. Occasional light grazes may well prevent an even finer grade. The PCGS holder has a green insert.(Registry values: P2, N991)
1884-O $1 MS67 NGC. This New Orleans silver type coin provides booming luster and exceptionally clean fields and devices. The strike is precise although the centers have a trace of incompleteness. Census: 96 in 67, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1884-S $1 AU58 PCGS. CAC. A shining piece, minimally toned save for a faint skiff of gold-gray patina. Minor rub is noted on the high points of the well struck devices and in parts of the fields.(Registry values: P9, N491)
1885 $1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. A touch of faint gold color shows on the central devices and both sides yield pleasant luster. Well struck and nicely preserved. Population: 72 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1885-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Frosty on the devices with strong cartwheel luster beneath olive-dotted cloud-white toning in the fields. The reverse has a pair of reed marks just to the left of the eagle's right (facing) wing.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1885-CC $1 MS65 ★ NGC. This fully brilliant Gem has dazzling semi-prooflike luster and a bold strike. Beautifully preserved aside from minor contact on the cheek. A widely pursued and low mintage CC-mint issue.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1885-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Hints of light tan color make occasional visits to the lustrous surfaces of this Gem CC-mint representative. Suitably struck, and revealing only a few grade-consistent marks.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1885-CC $1 MS66 PCGS. Lustrous surfaces are untoned save for a sliver of reddish-orange and blue patina at the lower obverse margin. Well cared for and adequately struck.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1885-CC $1 MS66 NGC. The reverse is brilliant, while the obverse is adorned in streaks of autumn-gold. Nearly fully struck, and any marks present are of no individual consequence. The lowest mintage of the perpetually popular Carson City issues.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1885-CC $1 MS66 NGC. Precisely struck and lustrous with faint tan toning and splendidly smooth fields. Always a popular low mintage CC-mint issue, collectible in high grade due to the GSA hoard.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1885-CC $1 MS66 NGC. A sharply impressed Carson City Premium Gem whose lustrous fields and devices lack any obvious marks. Delicate honey-gold toning here and there precludes full brilliance.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1885-CC $1 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Profoundly reflective fields show only faint traces of silver-gray toning. The frosted portrait shows a combination of luster grazes and deeper abrasions. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: P4, N491)
1885-O $1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Hints of golden-gray toning adorn this thoroughly lustrous and exactingly struck Superb Gem. The reverse appears pristine, and the obverse is also beautifully preserved.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1885-O $1 MS67 NGC. A razor-sharp Superb Gem that boasts dazzling luster and a remarkably clean appearance. Faint sun-gold toning denies full brilliance, but this is an outstanding O-mint type coin.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1886 $1 MS67 NGC. Suitably struck, including the centers. Radiant luster emanates from impeccably preserved, untoned surfaces.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1886 $1 MS67 ★ NGC. VAM-5. The 18 is nicely doubled, one of many interesting but unpromoted VAMs asleep within the Morgan dollar series. This is a fully struck and lustrous Superb Gem that has rich golden-brown toning on the reverse. The obverse margin is also patinated.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1886 $1 MS67 NGC. A remarkable Superb Gem with exquisite rainbow toning on each side. The underlying surfaces are frosty and lustrous.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1886 $1 MS67 NGC. A shining Superb Gem with dramatic toning. Chartreuse, rose, violet, and blue patina forms a partial square pattern, as found at the end of a roll, while the reverse has more traditional bands and arcs of the same colors around a pale silver-gray center.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1886 $1 MS67 NGC. VAM-1C, "3+2" Clash. A Hot 50 Variety. Fully struck and essentially untoned, with bright silver-white surfaces and impressive, coruscating luster across each side. Expertly preserved and virtually blemish-free; a great Superb Gem. Census (for VAM-1C): 5 in 67, 0 finer (7/09).(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1886 $1 MS68 NGC. Both sides of this amazing Superb Gem are frosty silver luster, the obverse with pastel blue, lavender, gold, and iridescent toning. The reverse is essentially untoned with faint peripheral gold. NGC and PCGS have combined to grade just 15 examples so fine, with none finer. Census: 12 in 68, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1, N2998)
1886-O $1 MS62 PCGS. The 1886-O is a curious issue, since it is elusive in Mint State despite a generous mintage. This lustrous and delicately toned example is softly brought up at the centers, but has few marks relative to the grade.(Registry values: P8, N991)
1886-S $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-1A with lines in the loop of the 6 in the date. A wisp of caramel-gold visits this thoroughly lustrous and nicely struck lower mintage silver dollar. The reverse is exceptionally devoid of marks.(Registry values: P6, N2998)
1886-S $1 MS66 PCGS. CAC. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. This completely brilliant and frosty Premium Gem has a bold strike with only three or four hair strands over the ear merged together. The mintmark is slightly doubled. The surfaces are pristine with none of the usually seen abrasions this issue is noted for. The 1886-S has a rather low mintage of just 750,000 pieces, and it is seldom encountered in Gem grades. The typical Mint State example is apt to be just MS61 or MS62. Population: 29 in 66, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6, N2998)
1887 $1 MS67 NGC. Coruscating luster endows this lovely Superb Gem that displays impressively defined devices. Gorgeous overall eye appeal.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1887 $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Deeply mirrored fields highlight the well impressed design elements on this lovely Gem. Untoned surfaces are nicely preserved. MS65 is the highest numerical grade likely to be encountered. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: P1, N991)
1887/6 $1 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. The fields are impressively reflective, and this minimally toned near-Gem possesses a precise strike. The reverse is well preserved, and the obverse lacks mentionable abrasions. Population: 63 in 64 Prooflike, 39 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1887-S $1 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. Fully prooflike with deeply mirrored fields and excellent contrast. Both sides have lustrous and frosty devices. Only a few scattered marks prevent a higher grade. Prooflike examples of this issue are quite scarce and highly desirable. Population: 17 in 64 Prooflike, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6, N991)
1888-O $1 Doubled Die Obverse AU53 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. The famous "Hot Lips" variety, identified by die doubling on the chin, nose, and lips. Light to medium gray surfaces show traces of luster in the recesses and are minimally abraded. Virtually unobtainable in Mint State.(Registry values: P6)
1889 $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-19A, Bar Wing. A Top 100 Variety. A flashy Gem, brilliant except for lovely golden rim toning on both sides. Well struck and nicely preserved, save for a couple of minor scrape marks on the upper reverse, above the eagle's head.(Registry values: P3, N491)
1889 $1 MS66 NGC. Lustrous untoned surfaces exhibit suitably struck design elements. A few minor grazes do not detract. NGC has seen only one coin finer and PCGS four higher.(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1889 $1 MS66 PCGS. Light golden tints grace the margins, while the centers are generally silver-gray. This gorgeous Premium Gem offers powerful eye appeal, even by the standards of the grade.(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1889 $1 MS66 ★ NGC. On the obverse, the peach center is bounded by lilac and ocean-blue. The reverse features delicate arcs of powder-blue, golden-brown, and lime-green. Lustrous and refreshingly devoid of scuffs. Census: 5 in 66 ★ , none finer with a Star designation (10/09).(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1889 $1 MS66 NGC. Fully patinated in russet-brown, violet-red, and jade-green. Lustrous and refreshingly unabraded with a hint of incompleteness at the centers. Housed in a prior generation holder.(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1889-CC $1 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. Silver-gray surfaces reveal faint hairlines under a loupe. Light wear occurs on the high points of this well defined piece.(Registry values: P9, N9)
1889-CC $1 VF20 PCGS. Pleasing light to medium gray patination runs over both sides of this popular CC-mint representative. This well defined piece is remarkably clean for a coin that saw moderate circulation.(Registry values: P9, N1)
1889-CC $1 VF20 PCGS. Light to medium gray patination resides of the relatively clean surfaces of this key date Morgan. The design elements are nicely defined.(Registry values: P9, N1)
1889-CC $1 VF25 PCGS. An unmarked slate-gray representative that displays substantial hair and feather detail given the grade. A opportunity to acquire a problem-free example of an issue often found cleaned or damaged. The unquestioned key to the Carson City subset.(Registry values: P9, N1)
1889-CC $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. A lightly circulated example of this popular Carson City Morgan dollar issue. Both sides have retoned gold-gray following a cleaning, and the worn areas at the high points and the fields offer equal luminosity and an assortment of minor abrasions.(Registry values: P9, N1793)
1889-O $1 MS65 NGC. Despite slight central weakness, this frosty, brilliant, and highly lustrous 1889-O Morgan dollar is a delightful Gem. The bright silver surfaces show subtle gold toning on each side, but this piece is essentially a brilliant and untoned example with excellent eye appeal.(Registry values: P6, N2998)
1890 $1 MS65 PCGS. Strongly struck and minimally toned with vibrant cartwheel luster. This Gem is decidedly attractive, though an abrasion is noted in the field between the wreath and the eagle's right (facing) wing.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1890-CC $1 Tail Bar MS62 Prooflike NGC. VAM-4. Top 100 Variety. The 1890-CC Morgan dollar was produced in large numbers (2.3 million pieces), but it's survival rate was low. The 1890-CC is a better date in Mint State grades. This specimen is an example of the famous Tail Bar variety, caused by a die gouge, and visible as a raised bar from the bottom arrow feather to the olive branch below. The surfaces are reflective, but a trifle "baggy". The design elements are strongly impressed. A scratch on Liberty's jaw probably limits the grade.(Registry values: P6)
1890-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Rich gold-gray, orange, rose, and violet shadings grace this shining near-Gem, with the last colors present closer to the rims. Pleasingly detailed overall with only slight central softness.(Registry values: P5, N991)
1890-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-5. Lustrous and minimally untoned with smooth fields and good eye appeal. This reverse die is interesting for its widely repunched right C mintmark and numerous spindly die cracks.(Registry values: P5, N991)
1890-CC $1 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. Excellent strike with considerable reflectivity in the fields, which have faint gold-gray toning. Frost over the devices supplies a degree of contrast. Several abrasions on Liberty's portrait contribute to the grade. Population: 81 in 64 Prooflike, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5, N991)
1890-CC $1 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. CAC. This stone-white near-Gem has prominently reflective fields and a precise strike. The fields are impressively devoid of contact, particularly on the obverse. The cheek has a few delicate marks. A better date among Carson City Morgan issues, since comparatively few emerged from the GSA hoard.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1890-O $1 MS65 NGC. An exceptionally preserved and minimally toned example of this conditionally rare New Orleans issue. The centers show slight merging of detail, as usual for a '90-O. Housed in a former generation holder. As of (10/09), NGC has graded only six pieces above the MS65 level.(Registry values: P4, N1793)
1891 $1 MS64 PCGS. Cobalt-blue, purple, gold, and gray-mauve patination adorns the lustrous surfaces of this attractive near-Gem. A small mark or two on Liberty's cheek apparently precludes Gem classification. Well struck save for weakness in the hair at Liberty's ear.(Registry values: P6, N991)
1891 $1 MS65 PCGS. From a large mintage of nearly 8.7 million pieces, the 1891 Morgan dollar suffered from poor production values. The issue is scarce at the Gem level, and very rare in any grade above MS65. The present coin is sharply struck, with unusually vibrant luster. The surfaces are brilliant throughout with no hint of color. Population: 98 in 65, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6, N2998)
1891-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. A lustrous and nearly brilliant near-Gem of the well known Carson City "Spitting Eagle" variety. The reverse is beautifully preserved. Population: 38 in 64, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6, N991)
1891-O $1 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. This flashy and virtually brilliant near-Gem is surprisingly devoid of evident marks, and although the centers show only slight inexactness of strike, the eye appeal is exceptional. The technical grade is limited only by remotely located marks near the R in AMERICA. Population: 11 in 64 Prooflike, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P7, N1793)
1891-S $1 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. This stunning Prooflike Gem exhibits sharply struck design features. Untoned surfaces reveal a scattering of light obverse marks. Extremely difficult to locate in Gem Prooflike. Population: 24 in 65 Prooflike, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1892 $1 MS64 NGC. This sharply struck Choice Mint State piece has frosty silver luster with pleasing surfaces that show only trivial marks.(Registry values: P6, N991)
1892 $1 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. This near-Gem offering is almost color free save for a few wisps of localized reddish-tan. Well struck and minimally abraded. A planchet defect on Liberty's neck does not detract in the least. Prooflike examples are rarely found any finer. Population: 22 in 64 Prooflike, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6, N1793)
1892-CC $1 --Altered Surface--NCS. Unc Details. The cartwheel luster of the fields shows a number of disturbances. Well struck with a long abrasion that travels down Liberty's frosted cheek.(Registry values: P7, N991)
1892-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. Untoned surfaces exhibit suitably struck design elements and are lightly abraded. The fields are partially prooflike.(Registry values: P7, N991)
1892-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. A lustrous and lovely Select example of this later Carson City Morgan dollar issue. Though Liberty's portrait shows a number of light abrasions, on the reverse, the eagle and its surrounding gold-tinged fields are comparatively clean.(Registry values: P7, N991)
1892-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The silver-gray surfaces of this near-Gem display occasional wisps of light gold. All of the design elements are well impressed, including those in the centers which are often weak. Pleasing luster shows on both sides, each of which reveal some light grade-defining marks. This piece exhibits nice overall eye appeal.(Registry values: P7, N1793)
1892-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. Attractive bluish-purple and gold color occupies the lustrous surfaces of this CC-mint representative. The design elements are sharply struck throughout. Minor handling marks define the grade.(Registry values: P7, N1793)
1892-CC $1 MS64 NGC. A reported mintage of 1.35 million silver dollars was accomplished at the Carson City Mint in 1892, large in the context of Carson City issues. Q. David Bowers considers MS64 the Optimal Collecting Grade for this issue, as it combines good visual appeal with reasonable cost. The present coin is sharply struck, with delightful sea-green and lavender toning at the peripheries.(Registry values: P7, N1793)
1892-O $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Delicate gold toning graces this conditionally elusive New Orleans near-Gem. A clean cheek, undisturbed fields, and good luster confirm the quality. The centers show softness usual for the facility and era.(Registry values: P7, N991)
1892-O $1 MS65 NGC. The 1892-O Morgan dollar is one of the more elusive O-mint issues in Gem condition. The Van Allen-Mallis reference notes that the issue is probably the most consistently flatly struck of the entire series, although an occasional fully struck piece is found. This splendid silver-white piece has blinding luster emanating from untroubled surfaces, but the strike is weak on the hair above the ear and on Liberty's cheek, where roller marks appear. The piece generates considerable appeal otherwise, however, with the strike on the reverse much better executed. Census: 74 in 65, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1892-S $1 AU50 PCGS. Considerable peripheral luster remains on this moderately abraded piece, generally pale silver-gray with glimpses of gold. Well struck overall with slight flatness on the high points increasing the appearance of wear.(Registry values: P8, N1793)
1893-CC $1 XF40 PCGS. Pale silver-gray color overall with glimpses of gold and tan, the latter color most prominently at the lower reverse. Luminous overall, since wear is largely restricted to the high points.(Registry values: P8, N1)
1893-CC $1 MS60 NGC. The 1893-CC is the last silver dollar issue coined at the historic Carson City Mint. The date is most often seen in lower grades, as the coins circulated extensively in the Old West. Mint State coins are scarce, even in lower Uncirculated grades. The present coin is well struck, with the often-seen weakness on the hair above Liberty's ear. The fields are semireflective and the attractive, brilliant centers yield to shades of sea-green and lavender at the borders.(Registry values: P8, N1793)
1893-CC $1 MS63 NGC. The 1893-CC turned up in the Redfield hoard, but it was conspicuously absent from the GSA sales. The issue is always in demand, and Mint State examples are always absorbed by the market quickly. The present coin is sharply struck, with minimal handling marks for the grade. The surfaces are attractively toned in shades of lilac and champagne.(Registry values: P8, N2998)
1893-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. A small mintage of 677,000 Morgan silver dollars was achieved at the Carson City Mint in 1893, the last year of production for that facility. The issue is scarce, in the context of the series. Q. David Bowers considers MS-63 the Optimal Collecting Grade for the date, and calls an attractive specimen at the Select level "a numismatic find." The present coin is a pleasing example, with lustrous, mostly brilliant surfaces, highlighted by hints of russet over the high points. A few handling marks and luster grazes define the grade.(Registry values: P8, N2998)
1893-O $1 MS62 PCGS. The 1893-O boasts a small mintage of just 300,000 pieces, the lowest total of any New Orleans Mint Morgan silver dollar. Experts agree Mint State coins are elusive, both in absolute terms, and in the context of the series. The present coin is well struck, with vivid, frosty luster. The surfaces are accented by a light lavender patina. Some insignificant handling marks define the grade.(Registry values: P8, N1793)
1893-O $1 MS64 PCGS. The 1893-O is the lowest-mintage New Orleans Morgan dollar (300,000 pieces). This issue is scarce in circulated grades and in the lower levels of Mint State. It becomes rare in the better Uncirculated grades.
David Bowers, in his Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States, writes that: "A few bags of 1893-O dollars were paid out at face value from the Cash Room at the Treasury Building from about 1948 to 1955. I have no record of bags of 1893-O being included in the 1962-1964 Treasury releases."
Soft violet-gray and sky-blue patination is joined by orange-gold on the reverse. The design elements are typically struck, revealing softness in the central areas. A few minuscule marks on the lustrous surfaces preclude Gem classification. Population: 90 in 64, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P8, N4719)

1893-S $1 Good 6 ANACS. A well-worn example of the famous key date but one that is appealing for the grade. The generally gold-gray surfaces are smooth, with no singularly mentionable abrasions visible, and a few spots of deeper blue-violet color add character to the piece. Housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: P10, N1)
1893-S $1 --Scratches, Improperly Cleaned--NGC. VG Details. The pale silver-gray surfaces of this significantly worn example are unnaturally bright, and a number of shallow scratches are present on both obverse and reverse. Still, a readily collectible representative of this famously low-mintage issue.(Registry values: P10, N1)
1893-S $1 VF30 PCGS. A stone-gray representative of this famous series key. Design detail is especially generous on the eagle's right (facing) wing. Refreshingly void of consequential abrasions except for a single wandering thin mark across Liberty's neck and a small nick on the obverse rim at 7 o'clock.(Registry values: P10, N1793)
1893-S $1 AU50 PCGS. The 1893-S is one of the most desirable issues in the Morgan dollar series. PCGS/NGC population figures indicate that the majority of pieces fall into the Good to Extremely Fine grade range, with a particularly high concentration in the Very Fine levels of preservation. David Bowers (2007) says of VF examples: "Most such pieces circulated in the American West, and for an appropriate but apparently restricted time to bring then to this grade."
AU 1893-S specimens such as the present coin are an excellent choice for the collector working on a Morgan dollar collection. Luster resides in the recessed areas of its silver-gray surfaces that exhibit suitably defined design motifs. A few minor circulation marks do not detract from the coin's rather pleasing appearance.(Registry values: P10, N4719)

A few minor circulation marks do not detract from the coin's rather pleasing appearance.(Registry values: P10, N4719)
1894 $1 MS63 PCGS. The 1894 Morgan dollar is a challenging low-mintage issue, though its 1893-S counterpart often overshadows it along both dimensions. This Select coin stands out, though, with its strong silver-gray luster enhanced by splashes of champagne and peach-gold. Faintly abraded overall with modest striking softness in the centers.(Registry values: P8, N2998)
1894-O $1 MS64 NGC. A much better than average strike and minimally abraded fields make this specimen a special find. The surfaces are moderately toned in attractive shades of lilac and champagne. Q. David Bowers considers MS64 the Optimal Collecting Grade for the 1894-O Morgan dollar. Coins in MS64 are scarce, and only 13 examples have been certified finer by NGC and PCGS combined.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1895-O $1 AU55 ANACS. The slightest hint of light gold color concentrates at the margins of this Choice AU Morgan. Traces of luster reside in the protected areas of the well defined devices.(Registry values: P9, N991)
1895-O $1 AU58 NGC. Probably more than 100,000 of the original 450,000 1895-O Morgan dollars were melted. Soft violet and orange patination resides on this near-Mint State specimen that retains a considerable amount of luster. The design elements are well defined, and both sides are quite clean for a coin having experienced brief circulation. This coin exhibits nice eye appeal.(Registry values: P9, N991)
1895-O $1 AU58 Prooflike NGC. This particular near-Mint State 1895-O dollar is exceptional for the following reasons: it is one of the relatively few given a Prooflike designation by NGC; it displays noticeable field-motif contrast; it exhibits an above average strike, evident by near completeness in the hair above Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast feathers; and its minimally abraded surfaces are quite attractive. Additionally, pastels of violet and orange-gold make occasional visits to each side. Housed in a prior generation holder. Census: 34 in 58 Prooflike, 4 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P9, N991)
1896 $1 MS67 NGC. The 1896 is a plentiful issue easily located through MS65. The certified population drops significantly in MS66 and again in Superb Gem. Silver-white surfaces exude coruscating luster and display sharply struck design features, including the hair at Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers. This is a well preserved piece. Census: 51 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2, N2998)
1896 $1 MS67 NGC. The 1896, with a mintage approaching 10 million pieces, is the most common Morgan dollar of the 1890s and is plentiful in all business strike grades with the exception of the lofty level of MS67. Ebullient luster endows the untoned, lovely preserved surfaces of this Superb Gem. An exacting strike delivers crisp detail to the design elements, including the hair over Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast plumage. Census: 51 in 67, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2, N2998)
1896 $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike ANACS. Intensely reflective with strong contrast between the frosted devices and the gleaming fields. The surfaces are light silver-gray patina overall with crescents of deeper peach and blue at the upper obverse and lower reverse.(Registry values: P2, N991)
1896-O $1 MS61 ANACS. The 1896-O Morgan dollar is among the most elusive O-mint series issues to obtain with well-struck, lustrous, unabraded surfaces. The present piece offers generous luster, but scattered moderate abrasions dot both sides, defining the grade. The silver-white surfaces show just a couple of dots of copper-gold color, mostly around the reverse lower rim.(Registry values: P9, N1793)
1896-S $1 MS63 PCGS. From a generous mintage of 5 million pieces, the 1896-S Morgan dollar is a surprisingly difficult issue today. Most examples seen are in circulated grades, and finding an attractive Mint State specimen is a challenge. The coin offered here is sharply struck, especially on the obverse, an important point as the 1896-S is usually seen with a soft strike. The surfaces exhibit full cartwheel luster, also unusual for the issue. A typical assortment of small handling marks on the obverse limits the grade.(Registry values: P7, N1793)
1897 $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Ex: Naples II. Although we have offered quite a number of Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike examples of this available (but conditionally elusive) date in our past auctions, this is the first Premium Gem 1897 with Deep Mirror Prooflike certification that we have handled. That is not totally surprising, as the present piece is one of only two so graded at PCGS, and there are none finer there, nor at NGC (10/09).
As expected, this brilliant silver-white piece offers blindingly radiant fields and thick mint frost on the devices. Even for a Premium Gem coin, the surfaces are quite appealing and essentially pristine. The strike is excellent, further contributing to the obvious, over-the-top eye appeal. This is the first auction appearance of an example in this grade in a decade, as far as we can determine, and the other coin so certified must be in equally strong hands.
Ex: Stack's (10/1999), lot 435.(Registry values: P3, N2998)

1897-O $1 MS62 PCGS. Hints of chestnut toning visit the margins of this lustrous better date New Orleans Morgan. Sharply struck save for the leaf to the left of the wreath bow. The obverse exhibits faint chatter, but less than is often associated with the MS62 level.(Registry values: P7, N1793)
1897-S $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. A stunning example with pristine silver surfaces. The fields are deeply mirrored and virtually mark-free, while the devices are highly frosted. Some hazy white patina is evident in the reverse and lower obverse fields. Sharply defined throughout. Census: 5 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P4, N2998)
1898 $1 MS66 PCGS. CAC. A practically pristine Premium Gem that boasts a powerful strike and light chestnut-gold patina. From a relatively high mintage, but difficult to secure any finer.(Registry values: P2, N991)
1898-O $1 MS67 NGC. Surprisingly little patina is present on this Superb Gem, save for a suggestion of blue-gray at the R in PLURIBUS. Well struck with creamy luster and undeniable eye appeal.(Registry values: P1, N1793)
1898-S $1 MS65 PCGS. An untoned example that possesses vibrant luster and a precise strike. Refreshingly free from abrasions, and a quality Gem of this conditionally elusive San Francisco emission.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1898-S $1 MS65 NGC. Lovely luster with just a hint of peach mingling with the dominant pale silver-gray color. Well-defined with only minor softness at the hair over Liberty's ear.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1898-S $1 MS65 PCGS. Flashy luster exudes from the untoned, well struck surfaces of this pleasing Gem. Nicely preserved throughout.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1898-S $1 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. Prooflike specimens of the 1898-S Morgan dollar are very rare at the Gem level. The present coin is a well struck specimen, with only slight softness on the hair above the ear and the eagle's breast. The brightly reflective fields contrast dramatically with the frosty devices; important, as most prooflike examples show modest contrast. Brilliant throughout. Population: 5 in 65 Prooflike, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5, N2998)
1899 $1 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. The 1899 is a popular Morgan dollar issue through its memorably low mintage of only 330,000 pieces. This example is certified in a green-label holder and shows wonderful field-device contrast on silver-white surfaces. Among the handful of finest at PCGS. Population: 7 in 66 Prooflike, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4, N2998)
1900-O/CC $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-8B. A Top 100 Variety. Prominent clashmarks near the lips and chin identify the late die state. Faint golden-gray toning graces this shimmering and unblemished Choice overmintmarked dollar.(Registry values: P5, N991)
1900-O/CC $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-8B. A Top 100 Variety. Freckles of rose-gold and ocean-blue enrich the peripheries of this lustrous and suitably struck overmintmarked Morgan dollar. The reverse is well preserved.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1900-S $1 MS65 PCGS. Bright luster exudes from the untoned surfaces of this sharply struck Gem. A couple of grade-consistent marks are undisturbing. PCGS has certified fewer than 100 examples in finer levels of preservation.(Registry values: P5, N1793)
1901 $1 MS60 NGC. Bright untoned surfaces exhibit well struck design features. A few light bagmarks are scattered over each side.(Registry values: P9, N1793)
1901 $1 Doubled Die Reverse Feathers MS61 NGC. VAM-3. Top 100 Variety. The 1901 Morgan dollar is the second most difficult date of the series to locate in higher Mint State grades. In addition to its status as a condition rarity, the present coin is a representative of one of the most important doubled die varieties. The die doubling is prominent on the reverse, especially at the tail feathers,
arrows and branch, and IN GOD WE TRUST. The eagle's lower wing feathers and beak are also clearly doubled. This example is an attractive piece with brilliant and lustrous silver surfaces. A few handling marks on Liberty's cheek keep this piece from a higher numerical grade. Census: 1 in 61, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P9)

1903 $1 MS67 ★ NGC. A stone-white Superb Gem that has satin luster and a complete absence of marks. The 1903 is lightly regarded in most Mint State grades, but becomes challenging at the MS67 level. Census: 2 in 67 ★ , 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2, N2998)
1903 $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. A coin that is worthy of its impressive pedigree, this untoned example displays uniform reflectivity in the fields and on the devices. The untoned surfaces provide blinding-white intensity. Mark-free and undeniably Gem, this is a gorgeous survivor--suited for the finest Morgan dollar collection--from a P-mint delivery that is anything but common with a Deep Mirror Prooflike finish. The population data for this coin, certified in a green-label holder with the Jack Lee pedigree on it, is unchanged since we first offered it nine years ago. Population: 2 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (10/09).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 2/2000), lot 5430.(Registry values: P2, N4719)

1903-O $1 MS66 PCGS. A splendid group of four 1903-O Morgan dollars, each a Premium Gem, and each nicely matched to the others. A single description will suffice for all four pieces. They are sharply struck with brilliant and frosty silver luster, toned in pale champagne, with splashes of deeper gold, especially near the borders. These coins were submitted together from a single source, and have consecutive PCGS serial numbers.(Registry values: P4, N991)
1903-O $1 MS66 PCGS. Brightly lustrous with strong central detail for the issue. Glimpses of yellow toning at the margins give way to essentially brilliant centers. PCGS has graded just 56 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: P4, N991)
1903-S $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Radiant luster emanates from silvery surfaces visited by whispers of light tan on the reverse. The design elements are well struck, including the centers. Minute marks preclude Gem classification. The 1903-S is difficult to acquire in Mint State. Great overall eye appeal, aptly recognized by CAC.(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1904-S $1 MS65 PCGS. More than 2 million of the original 2.304 million-piece mintage was melted (David Bowers, 2006), making the 1904-S a scarce date. Splashes of light golden-tan gravitate to the obverse of this suitably struck Gem, and lustrous surfaces are minimally marked. PCGS has graded only 11 coins finer, and NGC six pieces higher (10/09).(Registry values: P7, N2998)
1921-D $1 MS66 NGC. Golden-russet, jade-green, and navy-blue endow this satiny and minimally abraded Denver Mint Morgan. Much better than the usual mushy strike on the cheek and wreath.(Registry values: P3, N1793)
1921-D $1 MS67 ★ NGC. The 1921-D, sporting a mintage exceeding 20 million pieces, is readily available through MS65. Premium Gems are scarce and anything finer is elusive. This particular Superb Gem is made even rarer by the NGC Star designation. Delicate cobalt-blue, lavender, violet, and orange patination runs over the highly lustrous surfaces of this magnificent specimen and a well executed strike imparts excellent detail to the design features. Blemish free, as expected. Census: 3 in 67 ★ , 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3, N4719)
Proof Morgan Dollars
1880 $1 PR64 Cameo NGC. CAC. Morgan dollars saw a relatively high proof coinage in 1880 (1,355 pieces), and a goodly number, including Cameos, have survived to the present day. That said, the present near-Gem Cameo, despite its limited numeric grade, offers choice quality to the fussy collector. Whispers of light gold color occasionally visit its margins, and virtually complete detail characterizes the design features. A few unobtrusive hairlines in the fields barely prevent Gem status. Great overall eye appeal is aptly recognized by CAC.(Registry values: N2998)
1881 $1 PR64 NGC. From a small proof mintage of 975 pieces, the 1881 Morgan dollar is a scarce issue at the Choice Proof level. While not so designated, the present coin has many attributes of a Cameo specimen. The strongly impressed, frosty devices contrast dramatically with the reflective surfaces. Only a few hairlines and faint contact marks limit the grade. Census: 59 in 64, 69 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1881 $1 PR66 NGC. Collectors recognize the 1881 proof Morgan as one of the best produced dates among earlier issues in this popular series. This is certainly an impressive piece. While not immediately showing the bright, contrasting surfaces often seen, this example displays vivid golden-rose and sea-green colors that are backlit by the mirrored finish in the fields. An interesting slash of lilac color dips through the ES in STATES on the upper reverse. As one would expect, the surfaces lack any noticeable contact marks, and the striking definition is fully brought up on each side.(Registry values: N2998)
1881 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. Excellent strike and eye appeal for this popular issue, with a small proof mintage of 984 pieces. Delicate champagne and gold patina, strongest at the rims as usual, visits gleaming and beautifully preserved mirrors. The level of frostiness on the central devices is ample for a strong cameo effect. Only one die pair known to have been used. Census: 12 in 67 Cameo, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1882 $1 PR67 NGC. A well-produced proof dollar that would make a perfect high-grade type coin. The fields are deeply mirrored, and the devices display light mint frost that gives each side a moderate cameo effect, though curiously, NGC does not acknowledge this. Lightly toned and nearly perfect. Census: 21 in 67, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1884 $1 PR62 PCGS. This minimally toned and fully struck specimen has prominently mirrored fields and a mere whisper of gold patina near the rims. The devices exhibit moderate but even frost. A few trivial obverse field hairlines, but nonetheless exemplary for the designated grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1884 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. Mirrored fields highlight frosted devices. Color free surfaces exhibit sharp definition, including virtual fullness in the hair at Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast feathers. Both sides are impeccably preserved, with Liberty's cheek and neck revealing remarkable smoothness. Census: 7 in 67 Cameo, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1884-CC $1 PR66 Cameo NGC. In his 1986 book The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, Wayne Miller termed the 1884-CC dollars as Class III coins, meaning little was known, but these coins might be proofs. Other Class III branch mint dollars include the 1881-O and 1884-O. However, after we have examined two examples of the 1884-CC dollars we are of the opinion these coins can be "promoted" to Class II strikings, i.e., "unauthorized but definite branch mint proofs."
The four criteria set out by Wayne Miller for proof strikings include: a bold strike, square rims, virtually perfect surfaces, and mirror-like fields. This coin fits three of the four criteria listed. The only exception are square rims, which one really would not expect on a branch mint proof dollar, almost all of which were struck from dies intended for circulation. (The only exception we are aware of is the 1879-O).
In 1995 we handled the Anita Maxwell Trust of Morgan Dollars, a collection that included eight branch mint proofs. This provided a singular opportunity to study these coins in depth and publish the findings. One of the most important features we found:
The 1884-CC branch mint proofs were struck from VAM-3 dies. According to the VAMworld website, these heavily used dies are characterized by: "Doubled 18 in date. 1 doubled below top crossbar and to left of bottom crossbar. Die chips at inside right of top and bottom loops of first 8 and slightly doubled right outside of upper loop. Second 8 slightly doubled at top inside of bottom loop. Slightly doubled nose, lips, chin and back of Phrygian cap." The proofs were struck from an advanced state of these dies with extensive die cracks noted around the periphery on the obverse. Also, the die chipping in the top of the loop of the 8 appears to have diminished from die lapping, and the chipping in the bottom loop of the 8 is more sharply defined here, now an arc in that part of the digit rather than generalized chipping. This piece shows an area of heavy die polish in front of Liberty's eye, a trait observed on the second branch mint 1884-CC dollar from Jack Lee's collection. Also common to both coins, and branch mint proofs in general, there is an unpolished area between the eagle's neck and right (facing) wing. This is common to these pieces because of the branch mint's unfamiliarity with striking proof coinage. It appears an attempt was made to try and strike coins that closely resembled Philadelphia proofs; however, lacking actual proof dies there were necessarily limitations to how "proof" these pieces could be.
Allegedly there are four branch mint proof 1884-CC dollars known. We have not traced the pedigree of these four pieces but this would make an interesting numismatic research project for someone with an extensive numismatic library. The fields on this piece have mirror-like reflectivity that goes well beyond that seen on a prooflike dollar. The surfaces are nearly perfect, lacking the usual small abrasions from coin-to-coin contact. Similar to the other branch mint proofs of this issue examined, close examination with a loupe reveals tiny lint marks, an obvious attempt by mint personnel to wipe the dies prior to striking, but tiny lint marks adhered to the dies from static electricity. Both sides are evenly matched in color with a reddish undertone that is overlaid by rich cobalt-blue. A curious feature of this coin is seen over the ear of Liberty. It shows faint remnants of roller marks. This is most likely from setting the dies too far apart rather than a lack of striking pressure.
The 1884-CC branch mint proof is one of the great rarities in the Morgan dollar series. So few pieces are known that most dollar collectors are not even aware of their existence. For those who do know, this lot represents a rare opportunity to acquire this important coin.

In 1995 we handled the Anita Maxwell Trust of Morgan Dollars, a collection that included eight branch mint proofs. This provided a singular opportunity to study these coins in depth and publish the findings. One of the most important features we found:
"All branch mint proof dollars, except the 1879-O, were struck from regular production dies that had been heavily polished to produce a proof surface in the fields. All were struck more than once, giving the coins a crispness of strike not found on regular production coins. While the fields were polished to a depth that is comparable to Philadelphia proofs of the period and striking details are usually comparable also, the overall quality of branch mint proofs is not fully comparable to Philadelphia coins. From examination of the eight coins it seems that this is true for two reasons. First, all coins show incomplete die polishing, especially in areas where there is little blank surface between the design elements. Second, small patches of die rust are seen on several of the coins--a curious and surprising discovery that indicates that in some cases mint personnel heavily polished discarded or worn dies--dies that had lain around the mint long enough to rust slightly. From these observations we may also conclude that branch mint personnel were not familiar with Philadelphia proofs and what was required to produce such coins. The presence of die cracks indicates that most branch mint proofs were either struck during a production run or at some time afterward, but not before as one might suspect (except for the 1884-O and 1921-S)."
The 1884-CC branch mint proofs were struck from VAM-3 dies. According to the VAMworld website, these heavily used dies are characterized by: "Doubled 18 in date. 1 doubled below top crossbar and to left of bottom crossbar. Die chips at inside right of top and bottom loops of first 8 and slightly doubled right outside of upper loop. Second 8 slightly doubled at top inside of bottom loop.

1886 $1 PR66 NGC. The Morgan dollar saw a production of 886 proofs in 1886. Both sides of this Premium Gem proof display relatively strong field-device contrast, with each showing nearly imperceptible peripheral gold color. A powerful strike leaves crisp delineation on the design elements. Some minute carbon flecks are visible on the lower obverse and reverse. Census: 26 in 66, 9 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1895 $1 --Repaired, Cleaned--ANACS Genuine. Proof. In our opinion, this piece has the details of PR30 but has been cleaned and possibly repaired. We say "possibly" because whether this coin has been repaired is up for debate; certainly there are no overt repairs present. The one area that induced ANACS to label the coin as "repaired," a small section of the cheek with several contact marks, might have been lightly smoothed, but at the same time it simply could have been cleaned more extensively than the rest of the coin.
Both sides show considerable wear across the high points and scattered contact marks. Though cleaned in the past, it has begun to retone with olive-tan and violet elements at the margins. The overall eye appeal is better than the cautions listed by ANACS might suggest. Despite its past troubles, this remains a highly desirable coin, one of just 880 pieces struck for an issue available only in proof format, and it is sure to have an honored place in whatever cabinet eventually holds it. Housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: N1)

The overall eye appeal is better than the cautions listed by ANACS might suggest. Despite its past troubles, this remains a highly desirable coin, one of just 880 pieces struck for an issue available only in proof format, and it is sure to have an honored place in whatever cabinet eventually holds it. Housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: N1)
1896 $1 PR64 Cameo PCGS. Widely known for high quality proof coins, this 1896 is certainly among the finest dollars graded PR64. The fields are deeply reflective, silver mirrors which create a "black" background against the frosted devices. Each side has light golden-rose patina. A few light hairlines on each side prevent an even higher grade, but the eye appeal of this near-Gem is significant. Population: 13 in 64 Cameo, 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1897 $1 PR66 NGC. This spectacular Premium Gem proof boasts glints of sea-green and rose around the peripheries, with gray-gold centers and considerable contrast between the fields and devices, despite the intense color. While this piece does not warrant a Cameo designation, the contrast nonetheless adds to the already-high appeal. Census: 22 in 66, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1899 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. An untoned Superb Gem whose luminous devices contrast favorably with the darkly mirrored fields. Post-strike contact is virtually absent, limited to a couple of nearly imperceptible lines on the right obverse field. The strike is full, even on such trouble spots as the hair above the ear, the breast feathers, the claws, and the leaves opposite the wreath bow. A scant 846 proofs were struck, a lower mintage than the famous proof 1895. A remarkable 19th century proof type coin that would be the highlight of many an advanced collection. Census: 8 in 68 Cameo, 1 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1900 $1 PR65 NGC. Glints of pinkish-gold and aqua appear under a light in the deep silver-gray patination of this Gem coin, one of only 912 proof Morgan dollars struck for the year. Only the most minor signs of contact appear on either side. A popular date in this widely collected series. Census: 31 in 65, 34 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1902 $1 PR68 ★ NGC. NGC/PCGS population data would suggest that a fair number of the 777 proof Morgan dollars minted in 1902 have survived to the present day. However, a mere four of these have been given the coveted Star designation by NGC, with the present Superb Gem being the finest numerical grade! Its untoned surfaces exhibit an above average strike and both sides display a modest degree of field-motif contrast, extremely unusual for 1902 proof dollars that ordinarily show highly polished portraits. Immaculate preservation serves to round out the coin's magnificent eye appeal.(Registry values: N7079)
1903 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. The 755 proof Morgan dollars produced in 1903 were made so that the "portraits and certain other recessed parts of the die were polished--what student of the series Michael Fuljenz calls 'the chrome look,' " according to the Bowers silver dollar Guide Book. That is why this stunning Superb Gem proof, designated Cameo by NGC, is such a rare bird. The surfaces do show a "chrome" or quicksilver look, with silver-white brilliance throughout. There is sufficient field-device contrast for a Cameo designation that is somewhat more obvious on the reverse, even if it falls short of intense. Needless to say, perusal with a loupe will fail to encounter any distraction, large or small, on the surfaces, save for a hint of strike softness on the hair over the ear. Census: 3 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1904 $1 PR58 ANACS. A blanket of golden-brown toning dominates this proof Morgan dollar, with tints of powder-blue and rose-red also evident. The fields are unabraded and exhibit full mint gloss, but a color change on the eagle's leg and breast feathers suggests brief non-numismatic handling.(Registry values: N1)
Peace Dollars
1921 $1 MS65 NGC. CAC. Dappled blue, rose-gray, and reddish-orange shadings drape lustrous surfaces. Well-defined save for the issue's characteristic striking softness at the highest design elements.(Registry values: N1793)
1921 $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Smooth and lustrous with delicate powder-blue and almond-gold toning. The central strike is above average, although some incompleteness is present. Liberty's profile exhibits minor strike doubling, reminiscent of that seen on certain dates of Bust half dollars.(Registry values: N1793)
1921 $1 MS65 PCGS. Subtle splashes of light gold color reside on the radiantly lustrous surfaces of this attractive Gem. Well struck save for the usual softness in the centers. Some light grazes are noted on the cheek, neck, and left field.(Registry values: N1793)
1922 $1 MS62 PCGS. VAM 1-F. A Top 50 Variety. The "Field Break" variety, named for the feature that appears in the rays to the right of the eagle. Lustrous gold-gray surfaces show streaks of peach and rose.
1922-D $1 MS66 NGC. Both sides of this Premium Gem are immensely lustrous. The obverse shows dappled golden-tan and violet toning, while the reverse is minimally patinated. NGC has graded 14 numerically finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1922-D $1 MS66 NGC. A satiny and virtually brilliant Premium Gem that boasts exceptionally clean surfaces. The centers are sharply impressed, while the borders show minor incompleteness near 3 o'clock.(Registry values: N1793)
1922-S $1 MS65 NGC. Light silver-white color overall with a faint skiff of gray patina over parts of the fields. This bright Gem shows a mark near Liberty's eye that precludes an even finer designation.(Registry values: N1793)
1922-S $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. A sensational Gem with brilliant, untoned silver surfaces and a full quota of satiny mint luster. Although relatively easy to locate in MS65, the 1922-S is a condition rarity any finer, with only six finer PCGS certified examples reported.(Registry values: N1793)
1922-S $1 MS65 PCGS. This virtually brilliant Gem has dazzling luster and exemplary preservation. Nicely struck, and far superior to the typical Uncirculated 1922-S. As of (10/09), PCGS has certified only six pieces finer.(Registry values: N1793)
1923-D $1 MS65 NGC. This boldly struck Gem is refreshingly devoid of marks, and features moderate original golden-brown and olive-gold patina. A pleasing example of this early Denver issue.(Registry values: N991)
1923-D $1 MS65 PCGS. A scarcer issue than it is generally given credit for, since there are relatively few Gems actually extant. This piece is brightly lustrous and sharply struck with minimal abrasions. Peripheral russet and blue shadings grace each side, while the centers are near-brilliant.(Registry values: N991)
1923-D $1 MS65 PCGS. A frosty Gem that has strong eye appeal centered around the interplay of gold and gray. The two colors are evenly mixed on the obverse, but the reverse has silver-gray centers that give way to gold, orange, and even umber at parts of the rims.(Registry values: N991)
1923-S $1 MS65 NGC. The Gem level is just about as good as it gets for the 1923-S Peace dollar, as NGC has certified only one coin finer, with three at PCGS (10/09). This piece offers satiny luster over glassy silver-white surfaces with tremendous eye appeal. The surfaces are free of all but the most minute ticks.(Registry values: N2998)
1924-S $1 MS64 PCGS. Light gold toning graces the margins of this otherwise brilliant near-Gem. Lustrous and nicely struck with a well preserved obverse. The first low mintage branch mint Peace dollar, and a rarity above the MS64 level.(Registry values: N991)
1925 $1 MS67 NGC. One of the most available coins of the series, the 1925 Peace dollar boasts a mintage in excess of 10 million pieces. Of course, at the Superb Gem level, the issue is decidedly scarce, and only two specimens have been certified in finer grades by NGC and PCGS combined (10/09). The present example of this popular type coin features a razor-sharp strike, with fine detail on all devices. The pristine brilliant fields display fantastic satiny luster.(Registry values: N2998)
1925-S $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1925-S is among the few Peace dollar issues that suddenly become unaffordable at the Gem level. This nearly untoned Choice example has good luster and remarkably smooth fields. The nose and cheekbone display unobtrusive contact.(Registry values: N991)
1926-S $1 MS66 NGC. The 1926-S is one of the most attractive and well-produced issues in the series, and high-grade examples are available today, including some from the fabled hoard of eccentric Nevada collector LaVere Redfield. This piece is a totally untoned, silver-white coin with mellow, satiny luster and a near-total lack of contact. The strike is surprisingly bold, just short of full. Census: 38 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1927-D $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. While the reverse is nearly untoned, the obverse is pale lime-green with a blush of rose-red near the date. Sharply struck and impressively preserved. The dies are moderately rotated.(Registry values: N991)
1927-S $1 MS64 NGC. Silver-white luster endows both sides of this near-Gem. Generally well struck and minimally abraded, an attractive example. NGC has graded 71 numerically finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1928 $1 MS63 PCGS. A fully brilliant and lustrous Mint State piece with frosty silver surfaces and splashes of pale brown toning.(Registry values: N491)
1928 $1 MS64 PCGS. A strongly lustrous near-Gem example of this perennially popular key Peace dollar issue. The obverse is minimally toned, but the reverse shows a degree of reddish encrustation near 6 o'clock at the rim.(Registry values: N991)
1928-S $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Caramel-gold and lime-green embrace this lustrous and and nicely struck better date dollar. One thin obverse mark noted near 3 o'clock. IN GOD WE TRUST is moderately die doubled, as seen on most '28-S dollars.(Registry values: N991)
1934 $1 MS66 PCGS. The 1934 Peace dollar is a better date, with a mintage of 954,057 pieces, but examples are readily available in grades up to MS65. The issue becomes scarce at the Premium Gem level, and only eight coins have been certified in MS67 or above at NGC and PCGS combined (10/09). The present coin is well defined with the usual strong satiny luster, and faint lilac, green, and russet toning.(Registry values: N2998)
1934-D $1 MS65 PCGS. A solid Gem specimen of this scarce, late-date Peace dollar. Wisps of greenish-tan patina gravitate to its lustrous surfaces revealing just light grade-consistent marks. The design elements are well brought up.(Registry values: N1793)
1934-D $1 MS65 PCGS. Bright silver-white luster is the rule on this D-mint Peace dollar, though the obverse shows subtle hints of pink and gold as well. Strongly impressed with a touch of frostiness to the portrait.(Registry values: N1793)
1934-S $1 MS63 PCGS. The 1934-S is the key to the Peace dollar series in Mint State. The scarcity of the issue was not recognized at its time of issue, and few pieces have turned up in hoards over the years. Examples are scarce above the MS63 level. The present coin is a desirable specimen, with fewer than average handling marks for the grade. Lustrous surfaces exhibit attractive rose and lilac toning on each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1934-S $1 MS64 PCGS. Lustrous surfaces display dappled golden-brown patination on the obverse ceding to light freckles of gold and violet on the reverse. The design features are generally well impressed, including better than usual detail in the centers. Gem status is precluded by a few inconsequential marks. The key to the Peace dollar issue in Mint State.(Registry values: N2998)
1934-S $1 MS65 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint began production of silver dollars on November 1, 1934, accounting for the small mintage of just over 1 million pieces. Roger Burdette believes the 1934-S is the most difficult issue of the series to locate in Mint State grades, and should "form the cornerstone of a Peace dollar collection." The present coin is lustrous and well struck, with some typical flatness on Liberty's hair and ears. The surfaces are covered with attractive lavender patina, with spots of darker color at the periphery.(Registry values: N2998)
1935-S $1 MS65 PCGS. Brightly lustrous with a degree of frostiness that is particularly visible on the reverse. That side is silver-white, while the obverse shows dappled iron-gray and tan toning as well.(Registry values: N1793)
Sacagawea Dollars
2000-P $1 Sacagawea "Wounded Eagle" MS66 PCGS. FS-901. Two prominent die gouges pass through the eagle's body. This powerfully impressed Premium Gem has only a couple of nearly imperceptible handling marks. A strongly lustrous example of this increasingly popular issue.
2009 $1 Native American, Missing Edge Lettering MS65 PCGS. Currently a major rarity, since PCGS has certified only three examples in all grades (10/09). Although plain edge Washington dollars were issued in prodigious quantity more than two years ago, inspection and production steps have gradually improved, and few such mint errors currently escape the Mint. A lustrous yellow-gold Gem that has a good strike and only minimal contact.
Proof Sacagawea Dollars
2000-S $1 Sacagawea PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. A technically perfect example of this first-year proof Sacagawea dollar. Flawless surfaces show stunning contrast and delightful light gold color.(Registry values: P1)
Presidential Dollars
2007 $1 Jefferson, Missing Edge Lettering, MS66 PCGS. This plain edge error occurred when a production step was missed, and the present piece never went through the device that stamps the edge lettering. Sharply struck and exquisitely devoid of marks. The straw-gold surfaces are lustrous.
2007 $1 Madison, Missing Edge Lettering, Satin Finish MS66 PCGS. A honey-gold example with a good strike and a few faint luster grazes. Far scarcer than the Washington plain edge error. Since the mintmark is part of the edge lettering design, the facility (Denver or Philadelphia) responsible for the mint error is unknown.
Commemorative Silver
1893 25C Isabella Quarter MS65 PCGS. CAC. This Gem early silver commemorative features lovely apricot-gold, electric-blue, and jade-green toning. The strike is exquisite, and only a solitary faint mark on the left obverse field denies an even higher grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1893 25C Isabella Quarter MS65 NGC. The otherwise silver-gray surfaces reveal delicate golden accents around the peripheries. The strike is razor-sharp throughout, and there are few distractions of any size.

1893 25C Isabella Quarter PR63 NGC. Ex: Bagne Collection. Like its better-known Columbian half counterparts, the 1893 Isabella quarter has an official proof mintage of 103 specimens. This Select piece offers deep, watery mirrors beneath light, dappled rose-gold and violet patina. Exquisite definition on the intricate details of the portrait confirms its proof status. A handful of minor hairlines and occasional points of contact in the fields account for the grade. Census: 7 in 63, 21 finer (10/09).

1893 25C Isabella Quarter PR64 NGC. Ex: Bagne Collection. Only 103 proof Isabella quarters were struck. These special strikings consisted of the first hundred strikes from the die, and were eventually followed by the 400th, 1492nd, and 1892nd coins struck. There are no published or known diagnostics for proofs, they simply "carry their own credentials" as Walter Breen used to say. The fields on this piece are very deeply mirrored, much more so than on one of the many prooflike examples that are known of this issue. The surfaces are nearly brilliant throughout, and the devices are fully struck in all areas with just the slightest flaws that prevent a full Gem grade. Census: 12 in 64, 9 finer (10/09).

1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar--Cleaned, Retoned--ANACS. MS60 Details. DuVall 4-E. One of only two known survivors from either the obverse or reverse die. The Lafayette dollar is an unusual commemorative issue, in that only the statue of Lafayette and the conjoined busts of Washington and Lafayette were hubbed. The obverse and reverse legends were entered into the various working dies by hand, a process otherwise abandoned circa 1840. Even more curiously, the branch at the base of the statue was also hand-engraved into each working die.
No one knows why the Mint failed to hub the entire design, but the reason was probably related to the Treasury's decision to coin all 50,000 pieces on a single day, December 14, 1899. This was the exact centennial of Washington's death. Perhaps production steps were skipped in order to make the Dec. 14 deadline.
In his 1993 reference "Commemorative Coins of the United States," Anthony Swiatek discussed the discovery of the Lafayette dollar varieties: "In 1925, George H. Clapp discovered a Lafayette dollar which differed from the piece described by Howland Wood. ... After a discussion with Mr. Clapp, Howland Wood examined several hundred Lafayette dollars. ... He concluded that three obverse and four reverse dies exist." Frank DuVall, Life Member #1 of the Society for U.S. Commemorative Coins, discovered an additional variety and published his find in the Fall 1988 issue of The Commemorative Trail.
The present lot is that variety, DuVall 4-E. The lowest leaf tip is between the star and the 1, further left than on the other four reverse dies. Numerous obverse letters are repunched, including the U in UNITED, the E in STATES, and the C in AMERICA. The CA in AMERICA is widely spaced.
Although 50,000 Lafayette dollars were struck, the Mint melted nearly 14,000 unsold pieces in 1945, nearly a half-century after they were struck. Perhaps the "great melt" accounts for the rarity of DuVall 4-E and the scarcity of DuVall 1-A and 3-D. DuVall 1-B is common, and DuVall 2-C is scarce only in relation to 1-B.
The present lot, the DuVall 4-E discovery coin, is satiny and well struck with dusky chestnut, aqua, and plum-mauve patina. Both sides are unusually free from marks, particularly on the portraits. Close examination reveals a few wispy hairlines. We will take ANACS' word about the retoning, but it is not obvious that it was added in recent years. Bidders are encouraged to evaluate the lot in person to judge its true quality.(Registry values: N991)

1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS65 NGC. The first commemorative silver dollar and the first coin to depict an American president, the Lafayette dollar is an interesting and impressive coin. The issue is scarce at the Gem level, because many original owners purchased the coins as souvenirs and pocket pieces. The present coin is sharply struck, with brilliant surfaces throughout. Examples with this much visual appeal are seldom encountered.

1937-S 50C Boone MS67 Prooflike NGC. Unbelievably, the Bagne Collection has two of the three certified 1937-S Boone halves in MS67 Prooflike. This piece offers the bidder choice, toning rather than a brilliant example as above. Both sides of this carefully preserved Superb Gem display considerable reflectivity beneath scattered golden-bronze patina. A few flecks of deeper violet toning appear in the obverse fields as well. As one might expect from a production run of only 2,506 halves, a number of 1937-S Boones have reflective surfaces, and roughly one-fifth of the coins graded by NGC have received a Prooflike designation. Of course, few of those grade so highly as the present piece. One of just three pieces known to NGC in MS67 Prooflike, with no finer Prooflike examples extant (3/07).

1925-S 50C California MS66 PCGS. CAC. A lovely Premium Gem example of the timeless California design. Gold-orange and violet peripheral toning gives way to lustrous silver-gray at the centers.(Registry values: N1793)
1936 50C Cincinnati MS64 Prooflike NGC. Strongly reflective with a touch of cartwheel luster on the obverse and a distinct halo effect on the reverse. Both sides are largely brilliant. NGC has graded just two Prooflike examples of this issue, both in MS64 (10/09).

1936-D 50C Cincinnati MS67 PCGS. The Cincinnati half dollar issues sold mostly to speculators, who saved the pieces, but few examples have come through the years as well as this Superb Gem. Light blue-green, peach, and silver-gray toning elements drape beautifully lustrous and carefully preserved surfaces. Population: 30 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1892 50C Columbian Proof--NCS Genuine. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a PR60 specimen that has been Improperly Cleaned. Fantastic mirrors have persisted through the cleaning, and the astounding definition on the ship's sails and the finer details of the portrait confirms this example's proof status. A great example of this elusive and famous proof commemorative silver issue.

1892 50C Columbian MS65 ★ Prooflike NGC. The aqua, ocean-blue, and violet-rose shadings across much of the obverse lend that side instant eye appeal. Similar toning is present at the reverse periphery, as well as mustard-gold. Distinctly reflective and undeniably attractive. NGC has graded 19 numerically finer Prooflike coins (10/09).

1892 50C Columbian MS65 Deep Prooflike NGC. Many specialists would be hard put to differentiate between this Deep Prooflike half and an actual proof. PCGS does not certify Deep Mirror Prooflike Columbian halves. NGC has only certified four pieces, with this and one other the finest seen (10/09). The fields are remarkably deep in reflectivity, as expected, with light striations seen in the reverse fields. What does separate this coin from a proof, though, is the lack of high point definition on the sails and end curls of Columbus' hair. The surfaces are brilliant except for a slight accent of rose patina around the margins. Exceptional quality and eye appeal.

1892 50C Columbian MS66 ★ Prooflike NGC. The obverse is profoundly reflective through iridescent toning that starts as deep blue to the left and fades through magenta and ends at green-gold on the right. This last color is present at the reverse periphery, but the rest of that side shows little patina.

1893 50C Columbian MS65 Prooflike NGC. Faint lavender, tan, and blue toning appears near the rims on this well struck Prooflike Gem. Great eye appeal for an issue that is far less common in higher Prooflike grades than the lower-mintage 1892 issue. Census: 24 in 65 Prooflike, 2 finer (10/09).

1893 50C Columbian MS66 Prooflike NGC. Unlike the first-year issue, far fewer Prooflike 1893 Columbian halves were struck. The ones that do exist probably represent coins that were struck from a new pair of dies where the initial die polish had not worn away from multiple strikings. While hardly plentiful at the MS65 level with 24 coins certified, in MS66 this is the only piece certified and there is just one finer, an MS67. The fields show even, bright reflectivity on each side and the devices are outlined with rich rose and blue toning while the remainder of the coin is brilliant. The devices are also sharply struck on each side with especially sharp definition noted on the ship's planks and rigging.

1893 50C Columbian MS66 Deep Prooflike NGC. As one of just three Deep Prooflike examples of this issue graded by NGC and the sole finest by two points (10/09), this Premium Gem has a special place in the collection. Each side is profoundly reflective beneath a scattering of thin cloud-white toning that takes on a golden cast near the rims. Instantly memorable and highly desirable.

1936 50C Gettysburg MS67 NGC. CAC. The obverse is tab-toned, with deep lavender, cherry-red, and jade-green patina where the piece was presumably nestled for many years within its original cardboard holder. The reverse has similar peripheral coloration but is brilliant at the center.(Registry values: N1793)
1922 50C Grant With Star MS64 PCGS. Grant commemoratives with the incuse star in the obverse field are significantly scarcer than their No Star counterparts. With a distribution of just 4,256 pieces, those that survive in Uncirculated grades are now highly desirable. Light russet toning in the periphery is the only sign of color on this outstanding representative. Pleasing frosty luster covers each side, and a shallow strikethrough is visible at the top of Grant's head. Housed in a first generation PCGS holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1922 50C Grant With Star MS67 NGC. Beginning collectors sometimes confuse the similarly named and identically designed silver and gold issues, more properly called the Grant Memorial coins--but there is no similarity in their net distributions or modern-day rarity. While the Grant With Star and Grant No Star gold dollars each had virtually identical distributions around 5,000 pieces, the No Star half dollars were disbursed to an extent 16 times greater than the With Star halves. The twin (except for size) designs are by the talented Laura Gardin Fraser, but the much larger half dollars demonstrate its appeal to much better advantage. In Superb Gem condition, this piece is one of only seven certified at NGC, with none finer (10/09). The surfaces are brilliant gray-white, with little discernible color. Grant's cheek in particular and the surfaces overall are exceptionally pristine, distraction-free, and fully struck. One of the finest of this key commemorative half issue.

1928 50C Hawaiian MS64 NGC. CAC. Ex: 9/09 Hawaii Collection. Soft yellow-green patination dominates the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem commemorative, accented with grayish-violet. A well executed strike leaves strong definition on the design elements, including the intricacies of the beach landscape on the reverse. A couple of unobtrusive minute marks barely preclude Gem classification.(Registry values: N1793)
1928 50C Hawaiian MS65 PCGS. Soft luster emanates from both sides of this Gem, the obverse of which displays splashes of medium intensity reddish-gold, apple-green, and purple toning. The latter two colors are also evident on the reverse, though in lighter shades. This well struck piece reveals a couple of small reverse contact marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1928 50C Hawaiian MS65 NGC. The Hawaiian Commemorative half dollar is the key to the commemorative series. The issue enjoyed a small mintage of 9,958 pieces, mostly distributed in the Hawaiian islands, outside of numismatic channels. Q. David Bowers opines, "Examples are elusive in all grades and are highly prized." The issue is rare in grades higher than MS65. The present coin is a pleasing example, with unabraded surfaces and a delightful lilac patina.

1921 50C Missouri 2x4 MS66 PCGS. The simple Robert Aitken design for the Missouri Centennial commemorative is suggestive of the earliest commemoratives struck by the United States, the Columbia half and Isabella quarter. Other than UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the dual dates, and the denomination, no other federal statutory inscriptions appear on either side. A small subset of pieces, however, display an extraneous design element: the eponymous 2x4 in the left obverse field.
This subtly shimmering 2x4 Missouri half offers delicate sky-blue patina over much of each side, while partial rings of reddish-tan form a halo around the portrait and similar toning appears over parts of the stars on the reverse. Though the standing frontiersman shows the typical softness at the strap on his back, the devices are pleasingly defined otherwise, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. Population: 23 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).

1938 50C New Rochelle SP64 NGC. The New Rochelle half, like the Hawaiian half a decade before, created a limited number of special pieces for important persons associated with the issue. Rather than the sandblast proofs created for the earlier issue, however, the New Rochelle presentation coins were, in the words of Swiatek-Breen, "struck with a single blow on a proof planchet, using polished dies ... "
These specimens, with a mintage of just 50 examples, have led to confusion with prooflike early business strikes, but examination of this piece puts it squarely in the former camp. The colonist and calf are fully struck, and while the midrib is a touch soft in the center, the tip is sharp. The gleaming fields show extensive die polish and hints of olive and gold toning against the otherwise silver-white surfaces. Minimally marked for the grade assigned and highly desirable.

1933-D 50C Oregon MS67 NGC. One of the few Denver Mint issues of any denomination struck in 1933, the 1933-D Oregon is also interesting for its many layers of die doubling, visible on HALF DOLLAR when tilted and examined with a powerful loupe. Untoned, satiny, and pristine with moderate incompleteness of strike on the back of the wagon. Census: 30 in 67, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N1793)

1936 50C Rhode Island MS66 Prooflike NGC. The Bagne Collection is a wonderful example of how numismatics can be tailored for the individual collector. All one needs is to know what one wants. Prooflike commemoratives are not especially rare as such, nor are they especially expensive. But when seen as a collection they have extraordinary visual presence. The average collector simply does not see this many Prooflike commemoratives in one place at one time. This is certainly an appealing Rhode Island. The fields are brightly reflective, and there is no contrast between fields and devices, much the same as regular-issue proofs stuck in the early years of the 20th century. The centers are brilliant and surrounded by dusky russet hues at the margins. The surfaces are essentially mark-free, as one would expect from the MS66 designation. NGC has certified seven other P-mint Rhode Islands in this lofty grade and none are finer (10/09).

1951-S 50C Booker T. Washington MS66 Prooflike NGC. Pale silver-blue and champagne elements visit the gleaming fields of this outstanding example. The strike is crisp, and only a few reed marks above and to the left of the cabin preclude an even finer designation.

1951-S 50C Booker T. Washington MS67 ★ Deep Prooflike NGC. This amazing Booker T. Washington commemorative half is the only 1951-S MS67 ★ Deep Prooflike half certified by NGC. The coin displays unbelievable flash in the fields. The highly lustrous surfaces display magnificent brilliance with no hints of incipient toning. Under high magnification, die striations are visible in the fields. The design elements are fully impressed throughout. Even the pupils in Washington's eyes are visible! Marvelously preserved surfaces reveal no marks of consequence. We point out a minute milling mark on the right (left facing) eyebrow solely for the purpose of future pedigree purposes. The aficionado of high-grade commemorative coins does not want to pass up the opportunity to acquire what is perhaps the finest known example of this issue.

1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson MS66 PCGS. This sharply impressed yellow-gold Premium Gem is bathed in luster and appears essentially immaculate. Only the upper right reverse denticles lack a full impression. The first gold commemorative, unless the 1848 CAL quarter eagle qualifies.(Registry values: N2998)
1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson MS66 PCGS. Although dated 1903, the Louisiana Purchase gold dollars were sold at a 1904 St. Louis exposition by Farran Zerbe. The present piece is a flashy Premium Gem, immaculate despite a few tiny mint-made copper spots.(Registry values: N2998)

These coins celebrated the 100-year anniversary, which continued into 1905, of the journey of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the Corps of Discovery to explore the new, vast lands obtained under the Louisiana Purchase. This piece shows lustrous yellow-gold surfaces that are high-end for the grade, although a couple of tiny marks on Lewis' cheek and the field nearby may preclude an even finer grade.

1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 NGC. The 1904 Lewis and Clark commemorative gold dollar had a low distribution figure of 10,025 pieces. Most examples seen are in circulated grades and Q. David Bowers states "MS64 coins are difficult to find." The present coin is sharply struck and lustrous, with a small darker color spot at the base of the A in CLARK. Handling marks are minimal, suggesting an even higher grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. Crisply defined overall, with only slight evidence of striking weakness on the portraits. Strong sun-yellow luster offers glimpses of lemon-gold. An attractive near-Gem example of this early commemorative gold dollar issue, whose subject was revisited 100 years later with a commemorative silver dollar.(Registry values: N2998)
1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS67 PCGS. CAC. A simply astounding survivor of this prized gold dollar issue, the first of two bearing the dual-portrait Lewis and Clark design. While the 1904 has a better overall survival rate than its 1905 counterpart, the 1904 remains a condition rarity at the MS67 level and is nearly unobtainable any finer. This Superb Gem offers bright lemon-gold luster that reflects upon the remarkable surface quality. The strike is bold, with the fine details of the hair and clothing readily appreciable, and the overall eye appeal is stunning. Population: 14 in 67, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS63 PCGS. Both fields have raised die polish lines, particularly prominent near CLARK. It appears that the grading service has confused these mint-made lines (unusual for the type) with hairlines, providing an opportunity for the alert specialist. Each side has minor plum-red toning beneath the bust truncation.(Registry values: N1793)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. A strong near-Gem representative of the second Lewis and Clark gold dollar issue, which had a lower survival rate than its 1904 counterpart. Sharply struck and minimally abraded for the grade, though what stands out most is the bold lemon-gold luster. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N2998)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. A bit of metal flow is seen around the margins on each side of this example, whose surfaces appear substantially free of contact. Two-toned orange-gold coloration with lilac accents further enhances its attractiveness. The Westward Journey Jefferson nickel designs of 2004-2005, as well as the 2004 Lewis and Clark Bicentennial silver dollars, are the logical extension of these 100th-anniversary designs to the bicentennial observance.

1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 NGC. The Lewis and Clark commemoratives are attractive coins, and an interesting two-headed issue. This is an appealing yellow-gold example that seems high-end even for the near-Gem grade, since there are few mentionable signs of contact on the cheeks of either Lewis or Clark.

1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 NGC. Excellent striking definition for the Lewis and Clark issues, particularly on the often-weak details of the hair. The yellow-gold luster is vibrant, and though a handful of minor faults are present on each side, there are no singularly mentionable abrasions or other problems. A great near-Gem example of an issue that becomes elusive any finer.(Registry values: N2998)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. Intense sun-yellow luster dominates the eye appeal of this second-year Lewis and Clark gold dollar. The strike is solid, and only a few small flecks of deeper color are present, most noticeably one to the left of the forehead on the reverse. On that side, the holder shows a number of scratches; these do not affect the coin in any way.(Registry values: N2998)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS65 NGC. At the Gem level the 1905 Lewis and Clark is about as fine as obtainable before the certified populations thin out considerably; it is also a level where it rarity over the 1904 issue becomes much more apparent. This sparkling peach-gold Gem shows glints of lilac in a couple of areas, with excellent eye appeal. NGC has certified only 51 pieces finer (10/09).

1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS66 PCGS. The Lewis and Clark Exposition gold dollars were produced in two years, 1904 and 1905. The 1905 boasts a small distribution figure of 10,000 pieces, and is less available than its 1904 counterpart. The coins were not popular with contemporary numismatists, and most examples were purchased as souvenirs by the general public. Today, the 1905 is the key to the commemorative gold dollar series. In A Guide Book of United States Commemorative Coins, Q. David Bowers writes, "The Lewis and Clark issues of 1904 and 1905 are singularly distinctive for their rarity in higher grades. They are far rarer than any other commemorative gold dollar varieties." The present coin is a rare pristine specimen, with greenish tinged reddish-gold surfaces. Population: 72 in 66, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)

1915-S G$1 Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS65 PCGS. Soft, warm luster with a touch of frostiness on the obverse devices. The butter-yellow surfaces are pleasingly preserved and attractive, perfectly suited for the Gem designation.(Registry values: N2998)
1915-S G$1 Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS65 PCGS. The mintmark is faintly but widely repunched southeast. Rich apricot-gold toning dominates the reverse, but shares the obverse with apple-green. Satiny and pinpoint-sharp with outstanding preservation.(Registry values: N2998)
1915-S G$1 Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS66 PCGS. Only 15,000 Panama-Pacific gold dollars were actually distributed from the total mintage of 25,034 pieces. The remaining coins were melted on October 30, 1916 at the San Francisco Mint. The issue is in great demand today and the Premium Gem grade offers a good combination of spectacular eye appeal and reasonable cost. The present coin is sharply struck, with lustrous surfaces, and good original color that shows areas of lilac intermingled with the otherwise deep reddish-gold patina.(Registry values: N2998)
1915-S G$1 Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS66 NGC. Strong butter-yellow luster on the obverse with slightly paler color on the reverse. Overall design definition is solid, and the eye appeal is impressive even by Premium Gem standards. Though this issue is available for a price in MS66, finer coins are scarce; NGC has graded just 51 such pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1915-S G$1 Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS67 NGC. Pleasing luster exudes from the honey-gold surfaces of this lovely Pan-Pac commemorative, and a well executed strike leaves uniform definition over the design elements. Both sides are impeccably preserved. This issue is available through Premium Gem but becomes much more difficult in the MS67 grade level. Census: 51 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS62 NGC. Deep butter-yellow color strengthens the eye appeal of this subtly lustrous quarter eagle, from the first 20th century classic commemorative issue of that denomination. Slight striking softness overall, as noted on the central figures' heads, and wispy abrasions are visible in the field to the left of the eagle.(Registry values: N1793)
1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS64 PCGS. CAC. Struck under the watchful eye of Farran Zerbe, the Panama-Pacific coins included three denominations and four distinct coins. The quarter eagle is scarce, although enough survive that a short wait and careful selection will pay the buyer dividends. This example has frosty luster with light yellow-gold surfaces.(Registry values: N2998)
1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS64 PCGS. This is a popular commemorative which is more attractive than its rushed creation might have dictated, with a mythological obverse and derivative reverse by the competing Mint chief engraver and assistant engraver, Charles Barber and George T. Morgan, respectively. While the issue is popular in all grades, this near-Gem could form a capstone of a memorable assemblage of gold and silver commemoratives. The orange-gold surfaces have a hint of antique patina that adds to the originality, and there are no overt abrasions save for a couple on Columbia's exposed knee, the high point of the obverse.

1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS64 NGC. On the obverse of this interesting commemorative, a figure representing Columbia rides backward (or "sidesaddle," more accurately), bearing a caduceus in her left hand. Numismatic art historian Cornelius Vermeule writes of the design:
This yellow-gold example is in about the average grade for this popular series, with bold eye appeal and few mentionable abrasions. Columbia's knee, in particular, is free of pesky marks.
From The Steven Forcier Collection of U.S. Classic Commemoratives.(Registry values: N2998)
"Barber's obverse for the quarter eagle was ... dependent on ancient Greek designs. ... Since the Greek design was disseminated in the age of fourth-century to Hellenistic rococo sculpture and painting--that is, between 330 and 100 B.C.--something of the light, decorative quality just mentioned is taken directly from those phases of the antique. This coin, this obverse, may be Barber's answer to Theodore Roosevelt's and Augustus Saint-Gaudens's clamor for modern coins in the Greek manner. If so, the composition has the volume and balance of its classical prototype."

1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS64 PCGS. Rich orange-gold patination is imbued with traces of light green. A well executed strike leaves sharp definition on the design elements, and highly lustrous surfaces reveal just a light mark or two, barely precluding Gem classification. Great overall eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS66 PCGS. Coruscating luster rolls across this khaki-gold Premium Gem. The strike is sharp, and post-strike abrasions are virtually absent. This Panama-Pacific quarter eagle offers excellent quality for the MS66 designation, above which the issue becomes elusive; PCGS has certified only 19 such pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS67 NGC. A touch of frostiness visits the high points of this immensely lustrous yellow-orange Superb Gem. While Columbia's head shows a degree of softness as always, the rest of the coin is well-defined for the issue. Tied for numerically finest in the combined certified population (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1915-S $50 Panama-Pacific 50 Dollar Round AU55 PCGS. This is an unusual example of this popular commemorative coin in that it is circulated, although not much so. Despite the unusual appearance, examples of both the round and octagonal versions of these commemoratives clearly circulated; PCGS has certified examples of each in grades down to Very Good, although most circulated pieces fall in the AU55-AU58 range.
When one stops to consider, it is unsurprising that circulated examples do exist. The original issue price of $100 was in the neighborhood of a month's wages for the average worker at the time. The pieces perhaps enjoyed more sentimental value for visitors who actually attended the 1915 San Francisco exposition than, say, for their heirs a decade or so later, for whom the face value of fifty dollars must have proven a powerful temptation.
This antique-gold example still retains its original glory, including most of the luster and few mentionable abrasions, despite the light rub that appears as a slight color change over the high points of each side. The reverse, in particular, appears choice for the grade, but both sides are immensely appealing.(Registry values: N7079)

1915-S $50 Panama-Pacific 50 Dollar Round MS64 NGC. Most numismatists are familiar with some of the hobby-vocation's thrice-told tales, for example of the S.S. Central America and her fateful voyage into a hurricane in 1857. What is perhaps less well-known or appreciated is the significance of the Panama Canal in such a tale. The opening of the canal in 1914 would shorten the distance to transport cargo and passengers from San Francisco to New York from 13,000 miles around South America's Cape Horn to just over 5,000 miles, halving a voyage of 60 days to one of 30. The existence of a Panama Canal in 1857 might not have prevented the fate of the Central America's final voyage, but it certainly would have made it easier for all ships to avoid the treacherous hurricane season.
The 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, held in San Francisco, celebrated the canal's opening the previous year. Much like the canal, still termed today the "eighth wonder of the world," the 1915-S Panama-Pacific round and octagonal fifty dollar commemorative pieces occupy a unique niche in U.S. numismatics, as the largest denomination of the classic commemoratives era from 1892 to 1954. Some modern-era Mint coins such as one-ounce platinum American Eagles have larger nominal values, and the gold Buffalo and American Eagle one-ounce coins are equally denominated at fifty dollars. But the 1915-S Pan-Pacs remain the largest in size and impressiveness, with the round coins measuring 1.75 inches across and weighing nearly 2.7 troy ounces. The fifty dollar round also has the distinctive status of having the lowest net distribution, at 483 coins, of any commemorative issue made in the United States.
This orange-gold near-Gem specimen has been carefully cared for in the many decades since its debut, unlike many examples of both types. Scattered mark are few and insignificant, and the large, exposed fields and high points of the devices on both sides are free of distractions. A memorable example of this increasingly popular and elusive issue.

1915-S $50 Panama-Pacific 50 Dollar Octagonal MS64 PCGS. Bowers' commemorative coins Guide Book notes that the 1915-S Panama-Pacifics hearken back, with their Roman numeral dating MCMXV, to the MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Ultra High Relief and High Relief double eagles. released less than a decade earlier. But Robert Aitken's design is in a class all its own, paying reverent homage to the past while original in spirit and execution. Both sides symbolize wisdom, one female, one avian in the guises of a helmeted Athena and a great horned owl. The neoclassical design was a great artistic success, but few collectors of the era were sufficiently affluent to afford the $100 price of obtaining a specimen, or for the same price collectors could choose either a round or octagonal fifty, along with the other three lower-denomination coins in a leather case.
The octagonal coins also hearken back to the historic Augustus Humbert/U.S. Assay Office octagonal coins produced during the momentous California Gold Rush in 1851 and 1852. While the round Pan-Pacs have the lowest net distribution of any classic or modern commemorative issue, the octagonals are more appealing to many collectors, both for the added historicity and for the attractive row of swimming dolphins around the periphery. The unusual shape of the octagonals also meant that fewer were eventually melted than of the round variety, but both are extremely elusive and popular.
Most of the Pan-Pacs, round and octagonal, that were stored in their original cases or frames over the decades are fortunately well-preserved, so that most examples at both services hover around the MS64 grade of the present example, while PCGS has certified only 18 coins finer (10/09). Only the most minor signs of contact on Athena's cheek appear to keep this piece from achieving a Gem grade, as the overall eye appeal, strike, and absence of distractions certainly put it close to that level. The apricot-gold surfaces of this splendid coin have acquired a mellow patina that serves to further enhance the already broad appeal.

1916 G$1 McKinley MS65 NGC. A lovely Gem 1916 McKinley gold dollar with satiny yellow luster and lovely orange toning. The details are sharp and the surfaces are excellent, with only faint lines and trivial marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 G$1 McKinley MS65 NGC. A satiny Gem, this brilliant yellow-gold piece has faint traces of light pink toning to enhance its already excellent eye appeal. Pristine surfaces and bold details are evident on both sides.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 G$1 McKinley MS65 PCGS. Excellent surface quality with just a hint of cloudiness around the flagpole on the reverse. This Gem is softly struck but sports lively yellow-gold luster.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 G$1 McKinley MS65 PCGS. A razor-sharp Gem with exemplary preservation and shimmering apricot-gold surfaces. The McKinley and Grant memorials close the gold dollar commemorative series. Collectors preferred the lower cost and larger canvas of silver commemoratives.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 G$1 McKinley MS66 PCGS. CAC. This well struck and lustrous Premium Gem appears pristine, even when studied with a strong loupe. Struck from noticeably rotated dies, and certified in a green label holder.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 G$1 McKinley MS66 PCGS. Fully struck and satiny with smooth honey-gold surfaces. Perfect aside from a couple of barely perceptible grazes on the cheek. Struck from noticeably rotated dies.(Registry values: N2998)
1916 G$1 McKinley MS67 PCGS. Produced to fund the McKinley Memorial in Niles, Ohio, the president's birthplace, the gold dollars had "no national importance," according to Bowers' commemoratives Guide Book. The gold dollars in Superb Gem condition, as here, however, are today quite important to collectors, and downright elusive to boot. This piece offers unperturbed, distraction-free yellow-gold and lilac surfaces, with McKinley's cheek free of the pesky abrasions that lower-grade examples often show. Tied for the finest certified at PCGS.

1917 G$1 McKinley MS64 PCGS. The liquid yellow-gold luster of the obverse gives way to a more satiny straw-gold sheen on the reverse. Well struck for this second-year McKinley issue.

1917 G$1 McKinley MS64 PCGS. Generally strong yellow-gold color with an occasional fade to paler canary at parts of the margins. A few small abrasions in the area of the softly struck portrait contribute to the grade.

1917 G$1 McKinley MS64 NGC. Brass-gold luster envelops this sharply struck near-Gem commemorative. A few light obverse marks deny Gem classification.(Registry values: N1793)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS65 PCGS. Glowing luster exudes from peach-gold surfaces tinted with hints of yellow-green. A sharp strike brings out strong detail on the design elements. A dark spot is situated between the ME of MEMORIAL.(Registry values: N2998)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS65 NGC. Hints of pink toning are evident on both sides of this satiny and highly lustrous Gem. Only minuscule blemishes prevent a higher grade to this delightful piece.(Registry values: N2998)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS65 PCGS. America went to war in 1917, and also honored the most recent wartime President on a gold dollar. Because the type was also issued in 1916, much of the mintage went unsold and was eventually melted. This is a lustrous and smooth green-gold Gem with outstanding eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS66 PCGS. An attractive example of the last commemorative gold dollar issue to be struck until 1922. Yellow-gold surfaces show occasional green accents on the subtly granular surfaces, as well as small patches of watery reflectivity. Minimally marked and delightful. PCGS has certified 50 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS66 PCGS. Variegated mint-green and apricot-gold patination displays subtle lilac accents. Both sides yield an attractive frosty finish and pleasing luster and are devoid of mentionable marks. An exacting strike imparts strong detail to the design elements, enhancing even more the coin's outstanding eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS67 PCGS. This beautifully toned commemorative displays variegated apricot and mint-green colors residing on radiantly lustrous surfaces that have a slight frosty finish. An exacting strike imparts strong detail to the design features, further enhancing the coin's eye appeal. No mentionable marks appear on either side. It is generally believed that the 1917 pieces are somewhat scarcer than their 1916 counterparts. Census: 43 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS67 NGC. A pristine reverse is paired with a nearly immaculate obverse. A khaki-gold Superb Gem that ranks among the finest examples known. The portrait is fully impressed, although the steps and peripheral legends show slight incompleteness of strike. The dies are moderately rotated. Census: 45 in 67, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS67 PCGS. A great Superb Gem representative of the second-year McKinley Birthplace gold dollar, tied for numerically finest certified by NGC or PCGS (10/09). Potent yellow-orange luster graces the smooth fields, while the devices are boldly impressed and subtly frosted, creating mild contrast on the obverse.(Registry values: N4719)
1917 G$1 McKinley MS67 PCGS. Given his memorable association with the "gold bugs," it is fitting that a gold dollar was chosen as the medium for the McKinley Birthplace Memorial commemoratives. This example from the second year of the design has impressive peach-gold luster that brings the carefully preserved surfaces to life. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer example (10/09).

1922 G$1 Grant No Star MS65 PCGS. Struck after the Grant With Star versions, the No Star varieties are otherwise identical to the earlier issues. Peach-gold surfaces exhibit traces of light green and are well struck. Both sides display pleasing luster and are nicely preserved.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 G$1 Grant No Star MS66 NGC. A wonderful Premium Gem Grant sans Star commemorative gold dollar, exhibiting bold design definition on both sides, with brilliant and frosty yellow-gold luster, combined with light rose toning. Heavy die polishing lines in the fields, especially on the obverse, are common to all of the Grant issues, half dollars and gold dollars.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 G$1 Grant No Star MS66 PCGS. A shimmering and exemplary peach-gold high grade example. Although the present Premium Gem is essentially pristine, the same cannot be said for the reverse of its PCGS holder, which has acquired heavy scuffs that unfairly affect the photographs and online images.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 G$1 Grant No Star MS66 PCGS. The starless version, according to Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006), was sold for $3 each by the Grant Centenary commission. The yellow-gold surfaces of this lovely Premium Gem are imbued with traces of apricot and exhibit well struck devices. Pleasingly lustrous and well cared for.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 G$1 Grant No Star MS67 NGC. A well-defined Superb Gem example of this Laura Gardin Fraser design, which was duplicated (except for the denomination) on the silver half dollar. Boldly impressed on Grant's portrait as well as in the lines of the house, with strong yellow-gold luster lighting up the surrounding fields. NGC has graded just two finer No Star examples (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1922 G$1 Grant With Star MS64 PCGS. Bold sun-yellow luster defines the eye appeal of this With Star near-Gem. The detail on the portrait and the trees is distinctly above-average.

1922 G$1 Grant With Star MS64 PCGS. Incorrectly described as a half dollar on the holder. This is a flashy near-Gem With Star gold dollar that sports a blend of butter-yellow and lemon-gold luster. Strongly defined with great eye appeal for the grade.

1922 G$1 Grant With Star MS65 NGC. A small mintage of 5,000 Grant With Star commemorative gold dollars was distributed in 1922, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Grant's birth. The coins were sold for $3.50 a piece and the entire mintage sold out. The present coin is a charming specimen, with good original color, a sharp strike, and pristine surfaces. This example exhibits vibrant mint luster, an important feature as this issue sometimes comes with dull surfaces.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 G$1 Grant With Star MS66 NGC. Laura Gardin Fraser's designs for the 1922 gold dollar are identical (except for scale) to the Grant half dollar, down to the presence or absence of the star above the N. The star signifies nothing except following the brief tradition set by the 1921 Missouri and Alabama commemoratives. A lustrous sun-gold Premium Gem with outstanding preservation and the usual incomplete strike on the tree near the frame house window.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 G$1 Grant With Star MS67 NGC. CAC. Lustrous butter-yellow surfaces show a dusky aura on the obverse, but the reverse is considerably brighter. Strongly struck with the details in Grant's hair particularly fine. A highly elusive issue any finer; NGC has graded just seven numerically superior representatives (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1922 G$1 Grant With Star MS68 NGC. Not only is this With Star Grant dollar exquisitely preserved, it also has remarkable striking characteristics. The pale yellow-gold luster is immense, and the definition on the portrait and the reverse vignette is fantastic. One of seven With Star examples graded MS68 by NGC, with none numerically finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS64 PCGS. A light yellow-gold piece with uncommonly appealing luster for this final classic gold commemorative issue. Lightly abraded overall with the most significant mark appearing to the right of the torch's flame.

1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS64 NGC. Outstanding luster radiating from the brass-gold surfaces jumps out at the observer of this near-Gem commemorative, and a sharp strike emboldens the design features. A couple of hair-thin marks on the obverse portrait show under a loupe.(Registry values: N991)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS64 NGC. Yellow-gold coloration embraces both sides of this lustrous, impressively struck Sesqui quarter eagle. A few light grazes preclude Gem status.(Registry values: N991)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS64 PCGS. A charming Choice example with lime-green margins and canary-gold fields and devices. Lustrous, well struck, and carefully preserved. Unlike commemorative issues of the immediately preceding years, the Sesquicentennial quarter eagle was designed by the Chief Engraver, John R. Sinnock.(Registry values: N991)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS64 PCGS. One aspect that is consistent on Sesqui quarter eagles is the radiant luster these coins exude. Each side has a few abrasions that keep it from a higher grade, but the mint luster and rich color are outstanding.(Registry values: N991)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. A thoroughly lustrous and attractive butter-gold Gem, well struck aside from minor inexactness on the head of Liberty. The reverse field has a few faint grazes. The final gold commemorative prior to 1984.(Registry values: N2998)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS66 PCGS. Rich peach-gold luster dominates the eye appeal of this shining Premium Gem, which becomes even more impressive under close inspection. The small ticks and abrasions that preclude Gem status for so many examples are simply absent; in fact, if not for a handful of pinpoint marks, this coin would be a contender for an even finer designation. As it is, it is tied for the finest certified by PCGS (10/09) and housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N4719)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS66 PCGS. While uninspiring examples of the Sesquicentennial quarter eagle are legion, particularly in grades through MS64, coins with the eye appeal of this Premium Gem are far more elusive. Peach-accented gold-orange surfaces have strong frosty-satiny luster and are exquisitely preserved. Tied for the finest certified by PCGS (10/09).

Modern Issues
1997-W G$5 Franklin D. Roosevelt Gold Five Dollar MS70 PCGS. It is unclear what anniversary, if any, is celebrated by the 1997-W Roosevelt half eagle, and the obverse design incorrectly implies that the late President weighed more than William Taft. But the Uncirculated issue is scarce, and this pristine example is fully struck and displays peripheral peach patina.(Registry values: N1793)
Modern Bullion Coins
1995-W $1 Silver Eagle PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. Both the field-to-device contrast and the surface quality of this black-and-white specimen approach absolute perfection. A gorgeous representative of this popular modern key, one of only 30,125 pieces coined at the West Point Mint for inclusion in the American Eagle 10th Anniversary sets.(Registry values: N2998)
1995-W $1 Silver Eagle PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. With a mintage of just over 30,000 pieces, the 1995-W proof silver American Eagle is the key to its series, trading for over a hundred times its bullion value. This fantastically contrasted specimen is seemingly flawless to the unaided eye, and it is only with magnification that a handful of faults appear.(Registry values: N2998)
1995-W $1 Silver Eagle PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. Icy devices rise above the glassy and darkly reflective fields. An immaculate example of the key to the extraordinarily popular proof silver eagle series. PCGS has certified only one specimen as PR70 Deep Cameo, and those who live in the real world should consider the present piece as the closest obtainable alternative.(Registry values: N2998)
"James E. Fraser Design Collection" PCGS. This lot highlights the various incarnations of the James Earle Fraser Native American and Bison coinage design, with all five coins housed in a custom PCGS holder. Leading the lot are two one-ounce pure gold American Buffalo bullion pieces, a 2006 $50 MS69 and a 2006-W $50 PR69 Deep Cameo. Following are two 2001-dated American Buffalo silver one dollar commemoratives, a 2001-D $1 MS69 and a 2001-P PR69 Deep Cameo. Completing the lot is a 1938-D nickel MS66, with attractive nickel-blue inner toning framed in golden-tan. Comes with hard outer case.
2006-W $50 Buffalo One-Ounce Gold PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. Essentially perfect with fully textured and mirrored fields with rich butter-yellow mint frost on the design motifs. A remarkable and appealing example.
2006-W $50 Buffalo One-Ounce Gold PR70 Ultra Cameo NGC. A boldly contrasted and utterly flawless example of this pure gold proof American Buffalo one-ounce issue. Comes with box, outer plush case, and related literature.
2009 $20 Ultra High Relief MS70 NGC. In 1907 the Mint experimented with different formats for the double eagle. Utilizing Augustus Saint-Gaudens' designs, they created a double thickness Ultra High Relief pattern the diameter of an eagle. Just over a century later, the Mint has produced a gold commemorative of the double thickness pattern. These lovely coins are fully mirrored, although designated as Mint State.
Coins of Hawaii
1883 $1 Hawaii Dollar AU58 NGC. CAC. Pleasing gold toning in the margins yields to gunmetal-gray patina in the centers, with a hint of darker coloration in the protected areas. The strike is nearly full, and soft luster resides in the fields. There are no marks of any significance. The 1883 Hawaiian dollar is a rare issue with a net mintage of only 46,348 pieces. Census: 31 in 58, 66 finer (10/09).
Errors
1964-D 1C Lincoln Cent--Struck on a Bowtie-Clipped Planchet--MS63 Red and Brown NGC. 0.53 gm. The dramatically underweight bowtie flan somehow made it between cent dies, then past riddlers designed to screen out such errors. A majority of the design is absent, but fortune smiled on the strike, and both the date and mintmark are complete.
1969-S 1C Lincoln Cent--Struck on a Type One Dime Planchet--MS61 NGC. 2.2 gm. This lustrous silver-gray wrong planchet error is devoid of marks. The rims are complete along the right borders, but the L in LIBERTY and portions of UNITED STATES are absent.
1982 1C Lincoln Cent--Mated Pair--MS66 Red and Brown NGC. This mated pair is now housed in two individual NGC holders, including an obverse die cap and a reverse die cap that were struck together and fused, having since separated. Each piece is mostly bright orange with minor brown toning.
Ex: Bowers and Merena (3/1989), lot 5827.
Ex: Bowers and Merena (3/1989), lot 5827.
1987 1C Lincoln Cent--Foldover Strike--MS63 Red NGC. A cent planchet was fed vertically relative to the dies, causing an oval-shaped cent with a prominent seam at 5 o'clock. The misfed strike forced portions of the zinc interior to spread across the borders.
1998 1C Lincoln Cent--Reverse Die Cap--MS65 Red PCGS. This cent stuck to the reverse die during the initial strike, and was then repeatedly struck against a series of fed planchets. The reverse has a convex center, the obverse center is concave. The obverse image (from the first strike) is intact but flattened and spread from later strikes against flans.
2001 1C Lincoln Cent--Double Denomination on a Struck Dime--MS66 PCGS. Lustrous and unabraded with light chestnut-tan toning. The dime date and mintmark are indistinct, located above LIBERTY. The outline of Roosevelt's head is evident, and he gazes toward 1 o'clock relative to the portrait of Lincoln.
1900 5C Liberty Nickel--Struck 50% Off Center--XF45 PCGS. Struck widely off center toward 12 o'clock. The date is sharp and complete, but CENTS is absent, along with the upper half of Liberty's portrait. Toned deep dove-gray and russet-brown.

Ex: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 4026.
1964 Jefferson Nickel--Obverse 100% Struck Through Cloth--MS64 NGC. A dramatic error, created when a layer of cloth came between the obverse die and planchet at the time of striking. The obverse's cloth pattern covers the entirety of that side; by contrast, the reverse is normal in appearance, with typical luster and minor softness of strike. Comes with a vintage certificate of authenticity from Error Trends Coin Magazine.
1956 25C Washington Quarter--Struck on a Cent Planchet--MS65 Brown NGC. 3.08 gm. An unabraded Gem with rich apple-green and fire-red toning. The date is complete but distorted by metal flow. LIBERTY and QUARTER DOLLAR are completely absent, due to the much smaller diameter of the cent flan. A scarce wrong planchet combination; cents on dime planchets are comparatively plentiful.
1965 25C Washington Quarter--Struck on a Cent Planchet--MS64 Red and Brown NGC. 3.1 gm. An uncentered example struck flush against the collar at 12 o'clock, such that LIBERTY and QUARTER DOLLAR are complete. The date is partial and faint but unmistakable. Dusky rose-red and olive-gold with glimpses of powder-blue.
1998-P 25C Washington Quarter--Obverse Die Cap--MS68 NGC. The high, narrow rim characteristic of a die cap is most prominent near 9 o'clock. The obverse strike is razor-sharp on the portrait and legends. The multi-struck reverse is indistinct aside from a reversed image of Washington's nose. A unusually high grade for a mint error.
1875-S 50C Seated Half--Broadstruck Out of Collar--AU58 PCGS. CAC. At first glance, this San Francisco Seated type coin appears to be struck off-center several degrees toward 10:30. But no design detail is missing, so it is an uncentered broadstrike, with spreading most apparent on the reverse denticles near 1 o'clock. Quite close to Mint State, but the specialist will note slight wear on the thigh. Satiny with medium almond-gold and pearl-gray shadings.
1956 Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS62 ANACS. Only Philadelphia struck half dollars in 1956, which allows a definitive attribution of this example despite the mintmark area being cut off. The too-small quarter planchet was shifted toward 1 o'clock on the obverse, and while most of Franklin and the bell remain on the flan, there are voids affecting the mottoes and legends along the rims, such as IN GOD WE TRUST on the obverse and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the reverse. Housed in an ANA-era small-format ANACS holder.
1956 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS64 NGC. 6.14 gm, close to the expected 6.25 gm weight of a silver quarter flan. The peripheral legends are mostly absent, although the upper portion of HALF DOLLAR is present. The date is sharp and intact. Honey-gold toning visits both sides of this satiny and unabraded near-Gem.
Undated (1968-1970) S-Mint Half Dollar--40% Die Adjustment Strike--ANACS. PR63. From dies between 1968 and 1970, the only years that proofs of this type were struck from this alloy at San Francisco. Light to medium gold toning. Set-up pieces are from the dies restarting, the resulting coins are weakly defined until full striking pressure is achieved. This piece shows the expected mushy strike with only the central detail well (but still not fully) brought up. The mintmark is legible, but the area of the date just shows the granular surface of the planchet.
1972-D $1 Eisenhower Dollar--Reverse Clad Layer Missing--AU58 PCGS. The reverse is dark olive-brown and exhibits light microporosity. The clad layer was missing before the coin was struck, as indicated by the solid reverse strike.
1974-D $1 Eisenhower Dollar--Partial Collar with Obverse Brockage--MS63 NGC. This important error dollar was struck with the collar only partially retaining the metal, leaving a raised ridge on the edge. Such pieces are sometimes called "railroad rims." It also has a partial obverse brockage that formed a small indent at 7 o'clock.
1847-O Quarter Eagle--Partial Collar Strike--XF45 PCGS. This New Orleans gold coin appears to be struck several degrees off center toward 5 o'clock. The rim is raised and the dentils are softly impressed near 10:30 on the obverse, and opposite near 7:30 on the reverse. The 1 in the date is repunched near the dentil beneath its right foot. A well detailed and original green-gold example.(Registry values: P2)
2008 G$50 One Ounce Gold Buffalo--Struck Through Obverse--MS69 PCGS. An unidentified foreign object came between the planchet and the obverse die, leaving a line that passes from just above the 8 in the date to the jawline. This pure gold piece is practically perfect otherwise. Comes with hard case but no outer box or other ephemera.
Hard Times Tokens
1864 3C Feuchtwanger Three Cent, Eagle MS64 PCGS. CAC. Low-179A, HT-267, R.6. "Feuchtwanger's Composition," as is well known today, was actually a "German silver" variant that alloyed copper, nickel, and zinc. While Feuchtwanger's initial one cent and three cent tokens date from 1837 and are generally linked with Hard Times tokens, the 1864-dated three cent tokens (which are die-linked to the 1837 originals) add a Civil War connection. This is only the sixth appearance of an HT-267 token in a Heritage auction, and the single highest graded example among them. Luminous pearl-gray and gold-gray surfaces show minor peripheral encrustation. Listed on page 387 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Miscellaneous Medals and Tokens
Three Bronze Medals. Jacob Brown medal, bronze, 65 mm, Julian MI-11, apparently an original striking as the top of the R in FURST is broken and the P in SEP is obviously punched over an O, probably cleaned long ago as the surfaces show bright reddish-brown color, a few field marks and edge dings are also noted; French Woodrow Wilson medal, bronze, 68 mm, undraped bust on obverse, dated February 3, 1919 on reverse, a pleasing, problem-free medal; and a Warren G. Harding medal, 75 mm, inaugural and death dates on the reverse, a pristine medal in the original box of issue which is close to pristine itself.
U.S. Mint Medals
Winfield Scott Bronze Medal. Julian MI-27, bronze, 90 mm. An impressive, large medal designed by Charles Cushing Wright. Struck in 1850. The brown surfaces show lovely iridescence in the proof fields. A few small contact marks are seen on each side.
Medals And Tokens
1796 Gallery Mint Museum Replicas. All 14 pieces have a proof finish. The "coins" really are well made, and will make any collector wonder "What if?" All the denominations are included in all metals, and both design types are included of the half cent, half dollar, and Draped Bust dollar. The pieces are pristine, only the 1796 No Pole half cent is showing a bit of haziness in the fields. There are four gold coins included: two quarter eagles, a five, and a ten. Housed in a wooden box, each piece is encased in its own plastic holder.
1796 Gallery Mint Museum Replicas. A second set of these interesting, well-made pieces made by Ron Landis in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Each "coin" has COPY stamped on the reverse. This set differs from the one above in that the finish is as a circulation strike rather than as a proof. Again, 14 pieces are included and both design types of half cents, half dollars, and Draped Bust dollars are represented. An interesting, heavy rim-to-rim die crack runs across the obverse of the No Pole half cent. Again, remember four gold coins are included: two quarter eagles, a five, and a ten dollar. Pristine condition.
GSA Dollars
1880-CC $1 8 Over Low 7 MS65 NGC. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. Frosty devices with pale silver-gray toning overall that has tan influences. A strongly struck Gem, band-certified in the black holder of issue but without accompanying box or literature.(Registry values: P4)
1881-CC $1 MS66 NGC. Fantastically frosty luster dominates the eye appeal of this largely silver-white Premium Gem. Glimpses of pale gold color are present near the rims. Band-certified in the black GSA holder of issue but without accompanying box or certificate.
1891-CC $1 GSA Hoard MS61 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. This lustrous and nearly untoned Carson City Morgan has the customary number of minor obverse marks for the MS61 level. A separated black cardboard GSA box accompanies the lot.
1891-CC $1 GSA Hoard MS62 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. The "Spitting Eagle" VAM. Lustrous, untoned, and boldly impressed with the expected moderate marks on the left obverse.

Patterns
1836 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-70 Gilt, Pollock-73, Low R.7, PR64 NGC. The obverse features a Liberty cap surrounded by rays of glory, similar in design to certain contemporary Mexican issues. The reverse features the denomination 1 D. within a coiled palm frond, with the date below and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above. Christian Gobrecht is credited with both designs. Struck in copper and gilt with a plain edge. These pieces appear to be much rarer than the Low R.7 given them. We have very few auction records for Judd-70; in fact, we only know of four that have been offered since 1990. The gilt is remarkably well done on this piece. Only on the reverse can one see two small copper areas where the gilt is no longer present. The accompanying NGC Photo Proof states, "Coined in copper and then plated with gold, this rare piece displays a needle-sharp strike and smooth, satiny surfaces."
1854 P1C One Cent, Judd-161 Original, Pollock-187, R.4, PR58 NGC. The design is similar to that on production large cents except there are no stars on the obverse, and the diameter is smaller. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Light wear is evident on the high points, explaining the grade. This piece has attractive light brown color with wisps of golden-tan toning, as well as a few darker spots.
1854 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-164 Original, Pollock-189, R.5, PR66 Brown NGC. The hook-necked flying eagle design surrounded by stars and the date below. The reverse closely resembles the regular dies issue for the large cent, although the wreath and letters are smaller, as is the diameter. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. This piece is apparently an original striking as the weight is specified on the insert as 89.3 grains, and USPatterns.com states that originals weigh between 90 and 100 grains, while restrikes weigh in the range of 113 grains.
This is the third compositional variant of this pattern we have handled recently. Curiously, all have slightly different metallurgical compositions. This piece is 91% copper, 7% tin, and 2% zinc. The other pieces were 93/6/1 and 95/3/2. The fields are deeply mirrored and each side displays innumerable die striations. The striking details are strong, but not quite complete in the center of the reverse; the surfaces have a bright reddish-tan appearance with deeper patina on the left side of the obverse.

The striking details are strong, but not quite complete in the center of the reverse; the surfaces have a bright reddish-tan appearance with deeper patina on the left side of the obverse.
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168, Pollock-193, R.4, PR66 Brown NGC. Thirteen stars surround an eagle that is flying slightly upward, similar to the Christian Gobrecht/Titian Peale flying eagle design for the Gobrecht dollars (and soon the Flying Eagle cents). The reverse design is similar to the issued large cent. The diameter is intermediate between the large cents struck for commerce in 1855 and the small cents that were first produced in 1856. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. There is wide variation in the composition of Flying Eagle cent patterns. This particular piece has been identified. It weighs 94.9 grains, and has a composition of 92% copper, 7% tin, and 1% zinc. The USPatterns.com website notes "extremely rare showing any red color." This is undoubtedly the case because of the presence of 7% tin in the composition. The fields are deeply reflective, and the piece has lovely bluish-tan color. Struck on a heavily striated planchet, which is most noticeable on the reverse, there are few surface distractions that are noticeable even with a magnifier.
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168 Original, Pollock-193, R.4, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. The design shows a large eagle surrounded by 13 stars on the obverse, while on the reverse ONE CENT is surrounded by a thick laurel wreath which is, in turn, surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Struck in copper or bronze with a plain edge. As noted on the other Judd-168 in this sale, red color is seldom found on these patterns. The other piece has 7% tin. The weight and composition of this piece is stated as 93.3 grains, 93% copper, 6.1% tin, and 0.6% zinc. It does not seem like 0.9% difference would make that much difference in the appearance of the two pieces, but this pattern shows a confirmed underlying presence of red on each side. Both obverse and reverse also show streaks of sea-green and cyan with nicely reflective mirrors that enhance the colors. Die clashed as always.
1855 1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-170a, R.8, PR64 PCGS. 113.6 grains. Thirteen stars surround an eagle that flies slightly upward, similar to the Christian Gobrecht/Titian Peale flying eagle design for the Gobrecht dollars but with a longer, curved neck to the eagle. The date 1855 is below with slanted 5s, and the reverse is similar to the large cent. The planchet is slightly smaller than the large cent, but larger than the famous 1856 Flying Eagle cent. Struck with a plain edge in an alloy of 86% copper, 14% nickel, per the PCGS insert. Orange borders frame olive-gray centers. Well preserved and typically struck with a minor retained obverse lamination at 1 o'clock. Struck from boldly clashed dies.
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-171a, Pollock-196, R.8, PR62 NGC. An eagle flying left dominates the obverse, 13 stars are arranged around the periphery, the date 1855 is below. On the reverse, the denomination ONE CENT is centered within a laurel wreath, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is at the border. Struck in German silver with a plain edge. This piece is similar in composition and weight to the Judd-171a we offered in our October Dallas Auction. The weight of this piece is 116.9 grains, and the composition is 67% copper, 19% nickel, and 14% zinc. The coin in our Dallas Sale was 68/17/15. Like that coin, this one is also softly struck (undoubtedly because of the high nickel content), and there is evidence of die clashing on each side. The surfaces have the appearance of a 1860-1864 copper-nickel cent whose original color has not diminished. The fields are remarkably deep in their reflectivity, especially given the hardness of the nickel alloy. A pair of vertical, dark-colored planchet laminations in the center of the obverse uniquely identify this particular pattern.
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-173, Pollock-198, Low R.7, PR64 Brown NGC. Flying Eagle Cent pattern in large format, featuring a hooked-neck eagle on the obverse and ONE CENT in the center of the reverse surrounded by a small laurel wreath. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. Various metallic compositions were tried for the Flying Eagle cent patterns, and as noted in the USPatterns.com website "Both originals and restrikes are known and are extremely rare showing any red color." This piece has been analyzed by NGC and the results are that it weighs 92.2 grains and is composed of 94% copper, 5% tin, and 1% zinc. The surfaces do indeed lack any trace of red, but they possess a lovely brown and blue patina. The fields are deeply mirrored on each side and the reverse die was heavily striated. The obverse is fully brought up, but the reverse wreath lacks high point detail.
1858 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-191, Pollock-233-234, R.5, PR64 PCGS. Snow-PT14, with five leaf clusters in the wreath. The obverse is from a regular Flying Eagle Small Letters die, while the reverse displays the wreath introduced on the 1859 Indian cent. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Of the two obverse and two reverse variants for this pattern, this is a fairly common combination. However, the surfaces are definitely uncommon. Both sides retain noticeable amounts of the original "white" surface from the higher nickel alloy. Additionally a slight overlay of reddish patina is seen over each side, a bit deeper in hue on the reverse. The fields are deeply reflective as well, undoubtedly from the lack of any significant color.
1858 P1C Indian Cent, Judd-211, Pollock-255, 262, R.4, PR64 PCGS. PT-33. Narrow Bust Indian. Eagle Eye Photo Seals. The obverse as adopted in 1859 is paired with a reverse that has a wide wreath reverse. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. This Indian cent pattern was struck after the obverse was already adopted for the Indian cent in 1859. Snow states "struck ... in quantities of less than 10 pieces." That is probably an optimistic estimate as only six pieces are believed known today. The fields are moderately reflective, and there are no obvious contact marks on either side, just a few light, scattered flecks of carbon.

1859 P1C Indian Cent, Judd-228, Pollock-272, R.1, MS64 PCGS. CAC. This is a transitional pattern that combines the standard Indian Head cent obverse with the adopted reverse design of 1860-1909. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. This pattern exists in both business strike and proof formats. This particular piece is a business strike, but it still shows bright, flashy fields on each side, but lacks the reflectivity one would expect from a proof. Significant irregularly shaped areas of the original "white" surface of the copper-nickel alloy remain on each side intermingled with the expected reddish patina. The strike is sharp, in fact full on all design elements, except the shield at the top of the reverse.
1859 P1C Indian Cent, Judd-228, Pollock-272, R.1, MS65 NGC. Snow-PT4. The transitional Pointed Bust Type of 1860 but with date 1859. The reverse displays the oak wreath and shield design first struck for circulation on 1860 cents, instead of the simpler laurel wreath reverse used on business strike 1859 cents. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Boldly defined with golden-tan surfaces. The fields are faintly reflective with satiny luster. This is one of few pattern issues that are normally found in Mint State rather than proof.
1859 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-241, Pollock-297, R.4, PR62 NGC. The Longacre Liberty Head design for the half dollar, also known as "French Head of Liberty." The reverse has 50 CENTS surrounded by a cereal wreath. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Light gray patina is seen over each side and the fields are nicely mirrored.
1863 1C One Cent, Judd-300, Pollock-360, Low R.7, PR65 Cameo PCGS. Struck from regular issue obverse and reverse dies, but with a reeded edge. This is the "high date" proof variant of this elusive pattern, of which approximately a dozen or so are believed known today. The Judd-300 is Mint's first experiment with bronze, and it is one of the few cent patterns struck with edge reeding. This is a spectacular coin that has bright, almost "white" surfaces. Fully struck with noticeable die striations in the fields, which impart a bright reflectivity on each side. Nearly spot-free as well.
1863 50C Half Dollar, Judd-340, Pollock-412, Low R.6, PR65 PCGS. Virtually identical to the adopted design with the motto GOD OUR TRUST included in the upper reverse field without a banner or scroll. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Both sides display nearly brilliant centers within rich charcoal-olive peripheral toning. Brighter electric-blue and orange-russet undertones are also noted on the reverse. The surfaces show moderate, pleasingly cameoed contrast and no readily evident hairlines.

1865 1C One Cent, Judd-406, Pollock-475, Low R.6, PR60 NGC. Snow-PT1c, from Plain 5 Snow-1 dies. From regular issue Indian Cent dies, but struck in nickel alloy with a plain edge. This curious pattern is possibly a Mint creation struck for sale to collectors. Struck from regular dies that were later used on 1865 Plain 5 cents. Unlike other examples this piece shows definite reflectivity in the fields and is fully brought up in the centers. Numerous small and medium-sized contact marks explain the grade. The surfaces are bright-white throughout.
1865 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-425, Pollock-497, High R.6, PR65 NGC. Both sides are the regular With Motto designs, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll above the eagle, as adopted in 1866. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is one of the various "pattern" issues of this design that includes quarter dollars, half dollars, and dollars, and are actually restrikes intended for collectors and coined in the late 1860s or early 1870s. Just over a dozen examples of this variety are known. This is a bright, reflective example that has a light layer of golden toning over each side and a curious, straight, vertical stripe of blue on the reverse. A distinctive pattern. Census: 2 in 65, 0 finer (10/08).
1866 5C Shield Five Cents, Judd-489, Pollock-577, Low R.6, PR66 Cameo NGC. The obverse has a shield design similar to that adopted for the regular issue Shield nickel, except that the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is expressed in smaller letters and the date is divided by the ball at the base of the shield. On the reverse, the "Dutch" 5 is surrounded by a laurel wreath, with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the rim. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. These patterns show an interesting die punching error with the second T in TRUST far to the right of the final position. Both sides are untoned and the fields are deeply mirrored with sharply contrasting mint frost over the devices.
1866 5C Shield Nickel, Judd-507, Pollock-591, R.5, PR65 Cameo NGC. A transitional pattern that lacks the rays found on non-pattern 1866 Shield nickels. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. The reverse differs slightly from 1867 No Rays business strikes, since a star points to the center of the first A in AMERICA, rather than between AM. However, some 1867 proofs were struck from this reverse subtype. Lightly toned and flashy with a full strike and strong eye appeal.
1868 1C One Cent, Judd-608, Pollock-673, R.4, PR63 Cameo NGC. The design closely resembles the contemporary three cent nickel, but only a single pillar represents the denomination within the wreath, and the ribbon ends are more prominent. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Pleasingly contrasted with surfaces that are bright nickel-white at first glance, though closer inspection reveals considerable milk-spotting and a few cloudy overtones. Minor hairlines contribute to the grade.
1868 3CN Three Cent Nickel, Judd-618, Pollock-687, R.4, PR64 NGC. Similar to the regular issue three cent nickel, but the devices on both sides appear smaller relative to the field. In addition, the Roman numerals on the reverse lack the usual vertical "ribs." Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Moderately mirrored fields and lustrous devices are evident beneath pale gold toning. Census: 8 in 64, 9 finer (10/09).
1869 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-733, Pollock-814, R.5, PR63 PCGS. This Standard Silver variety depicts Liberty with a headband adorned with a single star and hair tightly bound. The reverse displays the denomination within a wreath of oak and laurel leaves. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. It is not possible to say for certain if this is a thick or thin planchet, but it appears to be struck on a thin planchet. Both sides exhibit deep lavender-gray toning with hints of interspersed golden-brown. A sharply struck and slightly glossy Select representative with no discernable blemishes. Encased in a green label holder.
1869 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-754, Pollock-838, R.5, PR62 PCGS. The R in LIBERTY is recut on this entry within the extensive Standard Silver pattern series. Liberty wears a headband that has a large star in the center, and her hair is tied up in a bun. 50 CENTS is crowded within an oak and laurel wreath. STANDARD SILVER and the date are appropriately placed on the reverse border. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. A boldly struck piece with attractive golden-brown patina accented with multicolored iridescence. A few faint hairlines are appropriate for the grade. Population: 16 in 62, 23 finer (10/09).
1870 25C Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-888, Pollock-987, R.5, PR64 PCGS. A bust of Liberty faces right and wears a cap ornamented with three stars. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounds the figure, and a scroll with IN GOD WE TRUST is below. The reverse reads 25 CENTS 1870 in the center, and is surrounded by a wreath of cotton and corn. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This pattern is known in both thin and thick planchet variants. While we are not able to say for certain because of the encapsulation, it appears this is a thin planchet piece. The fields are well-mirrored and each side shows a hazy overlay of reddish-gray patina.
1878 $1 Morgan Dollar, Judd-1550, Pollock-1727, Low R.6, PR63 NGC. CAC. Similar to the adopted design, but there are only three leaves on the eagle's branch. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Further characterized by the "notched" wing, as later used on the regular issue. This well struck pattern is beautifully toned. Electric-blue, olive-gold, and apricot toning illuminates the flashy fields. A wonderful addition to a specialized holding of Morgan dollars.
1878 $1 Dollar, Judd-1555, Pollock-1734, R.7--Spot Removals--NGC. Unc Details. Incorrectly identified as Judd-1565 on the NGC holder, and described as having "Unc Details," although it sure appears to be a proof.
The head of Liberty faces left, with IN GOD WE TRUST above and the date 1878 below. Liberty wears a coronet inscribed LIBERTY. Thirteen stars at the border are arranged seven left, six right. The N of IN is close to the coronet point, and star 13 is close to the lowest hair curl. There are five beads above the Y in LIBERTY. On the reverse an eagle with drooping wings occupies the center, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR, the latter in minuscules, at the rim. E PLURIBUS UNUM appears arcing in a Gothic font above the eagle. The upright of the B in PLURIBUS is centered under the tip of the right bottom serif on the second T of STATES, and the M in UNUM is slightly left of center of the M in AMERICA. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
A single tiny spot on Liberty's neck has been removed. Otherwise, this is a wonderful example of Barber's "rejected dollar" design. Both sides have fully mirrored fields beneath olive-gold and lilac toning.

1879 $1 Metric Dollar, Judd-1617, Pollock-1813, R.4--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Proof. This William Barber design features a bust left of Liberty on the obverse. She wears a coronet inscribed LIBERTY. The reveres displays an agricultural wreath and the uncommon motto DEO EST GLORIA within a scrollwork. The cumbersome goloid alloy is listed within a beaded circle. Struck in goloid with a reeded edge. Light hairlines are evident, now with pale gold and lavender toning. Still, a sharply struck and pleasing example.
(c. 1967) General Motors Roller Press Token MS62 Red and Brown NGC. Pollock-4060. This interesting pattern features a layout similar to Wheat cents, but with a rendering of Liberty on the obverse. The legends do not have any meaning. Struck in copper with a plain edge. A control code was etched into each obverse die, which enabled the General Motors researchers to identify which die pair struck each coin. This piece is 28-R. Colors show a blend of light gold-orange and green. Highly appealing.
Gold Dollars
1849 G$1 Open Wreath MS64 PCGS. Breen-6002 with a boldly repunched star at 5 o'clock. Bold sun-gold luster and a crisp strike are the most rewarding attributes of this first-year gold dollar. The obverse shows a single thin abrasion below the chin that partly defines the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1849 G$1 Closed Wreath MS64 NGC. An attractive example of the Closed (or Close) Wreath variant of 1849 gold dollar, well struck with shining yellow-gold luster. The surfaces show few marks of any individual significance.(Registry values: P4)
1849 G$1 Closed Wreath MS64 NGC. An amazing near-Gem example of the first year of issue gold dollar with sharp design motifs and brilliant green-gold surfaces. Both sides have satiny luster with considerable field reflectivity. Census: 0 in 64, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4)
1850-O G$1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. A boldly impressed piece, particularly in the centers. While the peach-tinged yellow-gold surfaces have slightly disturbed luster from a past cleaning, there is no evidence of wear.(Registry values: N2998)
1851-C G$1 PCGS Genuine. Variety 1. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned. Surfaces are primarily deep yellow-gold with disturbed luster.
1851-C G$1 AU58 NGC. Variety 3. The "high date" variety with 1851 close to DOLLAR. This well struck straw-gold representative is smooth aside from a thin diagonal mark left of the prominent 1. Subtle luster outlines the lettering and other design elements. The 1851-C is often called upon for Charlotte gold type sets.(Registry values: N1793)
1852 G$1 MS64 PCGS. The borders display blushes of orange toning, although lighter straw-gold is also present. A razor-sharp strike, and the lustrous surfaces lack any grade-limiting marks. The 2 in the date is larger and entered much more deeply than the 185.(Registry values: N1793)
1852 G$1 MS65 NGC. CAC. With the third highest mintage of any gold dollar, the 1852 is an excellent choice for a high grade type collection. This stunning yellow-gold Gem has bright lemon-yellow toning with sharp design motifs on both sides. It possesses exceptional, pristine surfaces. Faint clash marks are visible on each side, more so on the reverse. Census: 74 in 65, 26 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1853 G$1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1853 gold dollar saw a huge mintage of more than 4 million coins and can be located in most Mint State grades. The greenish-gold surfaces of this Gem have a frosty finish and exhibit sharply struck design features. Well preserved, and displaying a light crack at the left obverse border. PCGS has only certified 37 finer examples of this date (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1853-O G$1 MS62 PCGS. This New Orleans Type One gold dollar has smooth yellow-gold surfaces, and is well struck except for the 3 in the date. Luster dominates the borders and devices. The mintage is less than one-tenth that of its Philadelphia Mint counterpart.(Registry values: N1793)
1854 G$1 Type Two MS61 PCGS. The Small Indian Head design was only issued from 1854 to 1856, in the former year only at Philadelphia, and in the latter year only at San Francisco. A first-year of issue type coin, with brilliant and lustrous yellow-gold surfaces and a hint of green patina.(Registry values: N2998)
1854 G$1 Type Two MS62 PCGS. The year 1854 saw the first usage of the Type Two gold dollar design, a short-lived type that lasted only three years. According to Q. David Bowers, "The 1854 and 1855 Type II gold dollars are in strong demand for inclusion in type sets, this being far and away the scarcest of the three designs." The present coin was struck from clashed dies, and shows the weakness of detail almost always seen on this issue, but the 85 numerals in the date are actually stronger than typically observed. The surfaces show a minimum number of handling marks for the grade.(Registry values: N4719)
1854 G$1 Type Two MS63 PCGS. This splendid 1854 Type Two gold dollar exhibits full mint brilliance, with frosty yellow-gold luster. The obverse is a late state that shows heavy die rust. A few trivial surface marks on each side limit the grade, but the overall eye appeal is excellent, being enhanced by splashes of light rose toning.(Registry values: N4719)
1854 G$1 Type Two MS64 PCGS. CAC. The Small Indian Head design gold dollar was introduced in 1854 to replace the earlier Liberty Head, but it only lasted until 1856, and then only at the San Francisco Mint, as officials soon discovered a flaw in the design. The deepest recess of the obverse was opposite the date, and prevented the date to be fully struck in most cases. Even the present piece, with a better than usual strike, shows some weakness at the 8.
The surfaces are excellent, with green-gold color and splendid rose patina. Only a few tiny marks are noted on each side. There are clearly visible clash marks in the obverse and reverse fields, and they help us determine the exact alignment between the two dies. PCGS has only certified 64 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)

1855 G$1 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Rich orange-gold color adorns the lustrous surfaces of this Select gold dollar. A well executed strike imparts strong definition to the design elements, including all of the letters in LIBERTY; only the two Ls of DOLLAR reveal the usual softness. Clash marks are evident on both sides. Quite nice for the designated grade.(Registry values: N4719)
1855-C G$1 XF45 PCGS. Variety 2, with the tip of the flag of the final A below the right corner of the A in DOLLARS. It also has the point of the ribbon bow below the left side of the first 5. On variety 1, the point of the bow is below the center of that digit. This piece has light green-gold surfaces with slight roughness, and splashes of pale salmon overtones. Population: 17 in 45, 54 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1856-S G$1 Type Two AU58 NGC. The only 1856-dated Type Two gold dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint, with a production of just 24,600 coins. Examples are scarce in all grades, and seldom encountered in full Mint State grades. This near-Mint example exhibits some strike weakness at the usual location affecting the digit 8 on the reverse. Nearly full luster remains, with pleasing surfaces that exhibit only trivial surface marks. Census: 88 in 58, 42 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1856 G$1 Slanted 5 MS64 PCGS. This Choice Mint State 1856 gold dollar is elusive so fine. The present piece has fully lustrous and frosty yellow-gold surfaces with few blemishes. Population: 68 in 64, 24 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1859-D G$1 AU55 PCGS. Variety 11-N, one of two reverse dies known for this later and low mintage Dahlonega issue. Portions of the design are softly brought up, but luster illuminates the obverse legend, and the canary-gold surfaces appear unmarked and original. A pleasing and problem-free Choice AU example.(Registry values: N2998)
1861 G$1 MS64 NGC. This gold dollar is sharply struck save for a degree of softness at the knot in the bow. The yellow-gold luster is strong and particularly pleasing.(Registry values: N1793)
1862 G$1 MS64 NGC. CAC. Strong yellow-gold luster with a touch of orange toward the rims. This crisply detailed piece shows a few wispy marks in the left obverse field that account for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1867 G$1 MS67 ★ NGC. The 1867 gold dollar, from a mintage of 5,200 circulation strikes, is rare in any condition. The current Superb Gem offering with the NGC Star is the finest of about 120 examples certified by NGC and PCGS in all grades. Frosty sharply struck devices are highlighted by semiprooflike fields. Brassy-gold surfaces are impeccably preserved.(Registry values: N1)
1870-S G$1 AU58 NGC. The yellow-gold surfaces of this well-defined piece remain strongly lustrous despite a trace of friction. A pleasing example of the last branch mint gold dollar issue. Census: 19 in 58, 32 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1875 G$1 MS61 NGC. With just 400 business strikes produced, the 1875 is the lowest-mintage gold dollar of the post-Civil War era, and an example in any grade is a prize. This MS61 piece shows a degree of reflectivity, not at all unusual for the low-mintage later gold dollars. Sharply struck with scattered abrasions in the yellow-gold fields that account for the grade.(Registry values: N4719)
1878 G$1 MS63 Prooflike NGC. The 1878 comes from a low mintage of 3,000 circulation strikes. The brassy-gold surfaces of this Select Prooflike example display pleasing field-motif variance and are well struck. Wispy handling marks account for the grade. Census: 4 in 63 Prooflike, 1 finer (11/09).
1880 G$1 MS65 Prooflike NGC. This lemon-gold Gem is flashy and fully struck. A powerful loupe is required to locate any imperfections. The 1880 has a tiny mintage of 1,600 pieces, although Philadelphia-area dealers apparently set aside examples. Census: 7 in 65 Prooflike, 26 finer (10/09).
1880 G$1 MS67 ★ Prooflike NGC. CAC. The mintage for the 1880 gold dollar was a mere 1,600 pieces. Because the mintage was so low, the initial die polish barely had time to diminish before the production run ceased. As a result, an inordinately large number of high grade survivors show prooflikeness in the fields. For example, at the MS67 ★ Prooflike level there are a surprising eight pieces certified by NGC (10/09). One piece is numerically finer, an MS68, but there are no ★ coins in higher grades. This is an absolutely splendid coin. It is easy to see how first-strike prooflikes and proofs were confused 25+ years ago. The fields are uniformly deep in their reflectivity and there is even a modest amount of mint frost over the devices. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold, and one will need a strong loupe to find any evidence of coin-to-coin contact.
1880 G$1 MS67 Prooflike NGC. With a mintage only a bit more than 1,600 coins for the 1880 gold dollar, it is little wonder that many high-grade specimens show prooflikeness. This MS67 piece is one of 15 so certified at NGC, with a single coin finer (10/09). The strike on this yellow-gold piece is surprisingly and uniformly bold in all areas, if just short of full. Only a tiny dark spot in the obverse field, likely an alloy spot, just below the N of UNITED, provides a pedigree identifier.
1882 G$1 MS67 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint struck 5,000 gold dollars in 1882, following a trend of waning mintages. Although Mint State pieces, especially in higher grades, are frequently encountered, Superb Gem specimens are rare. This piece is exquisite with iridescent toning over orange-gold surfaces. Both sides are satiny with reflective fields. Census: 44 in 67, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1883 G$1 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Highly attractive mint-green and apricot-gold patination graces the lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem. The design elements are generally well struck; the letters LIBE and Y of LIBERTY are strong. Nicely preserved, and devoid of the large copper spots that plague this issue. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N2998)
1883 G$1 MS68 NGC. A stunning MS68 survivor of this favored late-date gold dollar issue, exquisitely detailed with surfaces that are virtually flawless to the unaided eye. The pink-accented yellow-gold luster is bold and gorgeous. Surprisingly, NGC has certified exactly one numerically finer example (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1885 G$1 MS67 NGC. Both sides of this stunning Superb Gem are fully reflective with satiny devices. The surfaces are exceptional, with only a few faint lines or marks. Light olive-gold patina accompanies the orange-gold surfaces of this desirable gold dollar. Census: 32 in 67, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1887 G$1 MS66 PCGS. The 1887 is one of the more available dates in the gold dollar series in spite of its low mintage of 7,500 business strikes. This piece has little of the usually seen prooflike fields and is limited to a slight glimmer. The surfaces are immaculate and both sides show rich reddish patina. Sharply defined. Population: 60 in 66, 22 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1888 G$1 MS66 NGC. CAC. Regular issue gold dollars were issued through 1889, when the denomination was continued. The 1888 gold dollars are relatively plentiful in lower Mint State grades, surviving from a mintage of 15,501 coins. This Premium Gem is highly lustrous with brilliant and frosty yellow surfaces. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are pristine. The reverse is rotated a few degrees counterclockwise.(Registry values: N2998)
1889 G$1 MS65 PCGS. Bold sun-gold and paler yellow shadings merge on this shining Gem. A strongly struck and pleasingly preserved example ideal for the type enthusiast.(Registry values: N1793)
1889 G$1 MS64 Prooflike NGC. At first glance, this gold dollar looks exactly like a proof. Only close inspection reveals the tell tale signs that it is a business strike, including prominent planchet roller marks on both sides. Prooflike examples were struck from fresh dies, either just after they were first engraved, or following die polishing to remove clash marks. In the case of the present example, the latter is probably the case as a prominent die crack is visible at the top of the reverse. Census: 10 in 64 Prooflike, 14 finer (11/09).
Proof Gold Dollars
1881 G$1 --Altered Surface--NGC. Proof. The fields have been carefully smoothed near the profile, beneath the headdress, and on each side of the prominent 1 within the denomination. A razor-sharp yellow-gold specimen. Only 87 proofs were struck, only a fraction of the post-1883 proof production.(Registry values: P3)
1883 G$1 PR63 Cameo PCGS. The 1883 proof gold dollar had a mintage of 207 proofs, but probably no more than 70 or so remain today. No firm diagnostics are known for this issue; as Breen states "business strikes (usually prooflike UNC.) and proofs both coming with traces of repunching and filling in 8's." That statement is suggestive that perhaps both proofs and business strikes were struck from the same dies. This piece displays deep, watery fields and there is a significant amount of orange-peel texture (not seen on business strikes). A few field marks are scattered over each side, as well as a dark spot over the E in STATES and in the central portion of the reverse.(Registry values: P2)
Early Quarter Eagles
1802/1 $2 1/2 --Repaired, Whizzed--NGC. AU Details. Breen-6118, BD-3, R.5. The left and right obverse field has been smoothed, and both sides were wiped to provide a uniform glossy finish. The centers are lightly impressed, but the wings, arrows, and recessed hair exhibit luster and fine detail. The reverse die for BD-3 was also used to strike three varieties of half dimes, the 1802 JR-1, 1803 JR-1, and 1803 JR-5.(Registry values: P6)
1805 $2 1/2 AU55 PCGS. CAC (Gold Sticker). Breen 6121, BD-1, R-4. From a tiny estimated mintage of 1,781 pieces, the 1805 Capped Bust Right quarter eagle is a rare coin in all grades today. In Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, John Dannreuther estimates a surviving population of 100 to 150 pieces, with most examples seen in the XF to AU levels. The date has been a favorite of early gold specialists since the earliest days of the hobby, and the issue appears in many auction catalogs of the 1860s. Henry Chapman describes a coin that sounds quite similar to the present example in the George Earle Collection (Henry Chapman, 6/1912), lot 2503:
The present coin has extraordinary luster and vibrant color for an early gold issue. The resulting eye appeal is greater than one would expect on a coin with a higher technical grade. Much like the coin in the Earle Collection, the present specimen is sharply struck for an early gold coin. Only a touch of softness is seen on the central details, and just the slightest wear is discernable on the high points. A few horizontal adjustment marks show on the center of the reverse. The lustrous surfaces are covered by a deep, even reddish patina. The extraordinary quality and intense visual appeal are confirmed by the gold CAC sticker. Population: 8 in 55, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)
"1805 Extremely fine. Slight planchet file marks show in center of reverse. Mint lustre. Sharp, even impression."

Classic Quarter Eagles
1834 $2 1/2 Classic--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. Breen-6138, a well struck example of the "Small Head" design coined only in 1834. Luster shimmers from the design and borders, and there are no obvious hairlines, but the surfaces are slightly bright.(Registry values: P1)
1834 $2 1/2 Classic AU53 PCGS. Large Head, Breen-6140, McCloskey-C, R.3. Considerable yellow-gold radiance remains in the fields. Well-defined with only modest abrasions and trifling wear on the highest design elements.(Registry values: P1)
1834 $2 1/2 Classic--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. Breen-6138, Small Head, R.1. Strongly struck save for softness at the hair just over Liberty's ear. The yellow-gold fields are bright with luster, but inspection reveals a number of telltale hairlines.(Registry values: P1)
1836 $2 1/2 Script 8 AU55 PCGS. Head of 1835, Breen-6143, McCloskey-D, R.2. The most plentiful Classic Head quarter eagle variety of any year, and an ideal coin for a type collector. This Choice AU example has lustrous green-gold surfaces with excellent eye appeal.(Registry values: P1)
1836 $2 1/2 Script 8 MS61 NGC. Head of 1835, Breen-6143, McCloskey-D, R.2. The eagle's neck, wings, and claws are well struck, as are the obverse stars. The hair curls above the coronet are also bold. Only the very center of the coin, which includes the hair curl above the ear and the shield lines, exhibits moderate softness of strike. The pale gold surfaces are minimally abraded, and the margins and devices are lustrous.(Registry values: P1)
1837 $2 1/2 XF45 PCGS. McCloskey-B, R.2. A charming green-gold Choice XF Classic two and a half that has noticeable remaining luster and an absence of conspicuous field abrasions. Liberty's forehead curls show minor inexactness of strike.(Registry values: P2)
1839-D $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A, McCloskey-A, R.2. The only Classic Head quarter eagle struck at the Dahlonega Mint, the 1839-D is from a mintage of 13,674 pieces. Experts estimate a surviving population of 150-175 pieces in all grades today. Examples in Mint State grades are decidedly rare. NGC has certified only two coins at the MS62 level, with five finer; while PCGS has graded six specimens in MS62, with four finer (10/09).
The prominent obverse mintmark has always been prized as an oddity by collectors, but it has been known to cause confusion. In the Cohen Collection (Edward Cogan, 10/1875), lot 207, the cataloger described a specimen as "1839 Denver Mint. Fine and scarce." It is remarkable that Cogan would refer to the Denver Mint, since that institution would not be opened until 1906, 31 years after this erroneous statement was printed. Perhaps he was remembering the Clark, Gruber & Co. private mint that operated successfully in Denver in the 1860s. In any case, the statement is indicative of the limited understanding of mintmarks most numismatists possessed in the 19th century.
The present coin is sharply struck, especially on the obverse. The surfaces exhibit delightful, dusky, old-gold color. Handling marks are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: P4)

Liberty Quarter Eagles
1840-C $2 1/2 PCGS Genuine. Variety 1. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that has been cleaned. Well-defined for the issue with luminous, lightly hairlined surfaces that are dusky yellow.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1841-C $2 1/2 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. Variety 1, the only known for this low mintage (10,281 pieces) Charlotte issue. Minimally abraded apricot-gold surfaces exhibit relatively well defined devices. Interested bidders should not be intimidated by the light cleaning.(Registry values: P2)
1843 $2 1/2 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU example that has altered surfaces and an obverse pinscratch. The pinscratch is faint but extends from the cheekbone to the bust truncation. The obverse field is lightly hairlined. A good strike with minor blending on the shield and eagle's left (facing) leg.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1843 $2 1/2 AU55 PCGS. A wonderful, sharply struck Choice AU example, this quarter eagle has pleasing yellow surfaces with considerable luster and only a few trivial surface marks.(Registry values: P2)
1843-D $2 1/2 Small D AU50 NGC. Variety 4-D. The 1843-D quarter eagle is an available issue in the context of Dahlonega quarter eagles, with a "large" original mintage of 36,209 pieces. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 250-300 examples in all grades. The issue is prized as a mintmark type coin. Most examples seen are in lower grades, and the issue is surprisingly scarce at the AU level. The coin offered here features a sharp strike for a D-Mint coin, with slight softness on Liberty's curls and the eagle's feathers. The pleasing greenish-gold surfaces show appropriate abrasions for the grade.(Registry values: P1)
1843-O $2 1/2 Small Date, Crosslet 4 MS63 PCGS. CAC. A satiny straw-gold quarter eagle that has an impressively unabraded appearance. A sharp strike except for the central letters in LIBERTY. The Small Date 1843-O is readily obtained in circulated grades, but Select Mint State examples are highly desirable. Population: 8 in 63, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1844-C $2 1/2 --Damaged--NGC. VF Details. Variety 1, the only known die pairing for the year. The yellow-gold surfaces of this C-mint representative reveal rim bruises and scrapes and three or four shallow obverse scratches. Well defined except for the usual strike weakness on the eagle. Scarce in all grades(Registry values: P2)
1844-C $2 1/2 XF45 NGC. Variety 1. The overall rarity ranking of the 1844-C is 10th out of the 20-coin series, and the original mintage was limited to 11,622 pieces. Approximately 150-175 coins are believed to exist today in all grades, with 50-55 examples in XF condition. The present coin is evenly worn, with much original detail still evident on the devices. Much of the apparent wear may actually be due to poor striking details. The surfaces show a number of nicks and abrasions, all consistent with the grade. Census: 18 in 45, 63 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1844-D $2 1/2 AU50 PCGS. Variety 5-H. The 1844-D quarter eagle is among the more available issues of the series, with a reported mintage of 17,300 pieces, and an estimated surviving population of 175 to 200 examples in all grades. The date is scarce-to-rare at AU levels. The present coin shows the customary weakness on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers, but the stars and legend are strongly impressed. The lightly abraded surfaces exhibit frosty mint luster and pleasing eye appeal. Population: 21 in 50, 60 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1846 $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. CAC. Dusky orange-gold surfaces are lustrous with lilac accents. A crisply defined near-Mint example that shows only a touch of rub on the high points. Great eye appeal for this lower-mintage pre-California Gold Rush issue. NGC has graded 18 coins finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1847-C $2 1/2 AU53 ANACS. Variety 1. Luster illuminates design recesses of this briefly circulated yellow-gold rare date quarter eagle. The centers are typically impressed for a Charlotte Mint product, but the absence of obtrusive abrasions confirms the eye appeal.(Registry values: P2)
1847-D $2 1/2 MS61 PCGS. Variety 9-M, the only known die marriage. The obverse has the date punched high, with the top of the 1 and 7 each joined to the bust. The 4 and 7 are both faintly doubled to the left. This lovely Mint State piece has rich green-gold luster with brilliant mint frost. Population: 3 in 61, 8 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1847-O $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Slight evidence of date recutting is visible, unsurprising given the particular issue. Total production was 124,000 coins, requiring multiple die pairs. This lovely piece has bright greenish-gold luster. Both sides have some weakness, including hair curls over the forehead, a few stars, and the eagle's left (facing) leg. The obverse has several die cracks ranging from faint to heavy. Census: 5 in 62, 5 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)
1848-D $2 1/2 PCGS Genuine. Variety 10-M. The PCGS number ending in .95 suggests Scratches or Rim Dents as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has obverse scratches. A strongly struck piece with pleasing yellow-gold luster, though scratches are noted at the tip of the bust and between stars 11 and 13.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1849 $2 1/2 AU58 ANACS. Impressively defined with striking luster that enlivens pale yellow-gold surfaces. A minimally abraded near-Mint coin that shows only a trace of friction.(Registry values: P2)
1850-D $2 1/2 AU50 NGC. Variety 13-M. Only 12,148 quarter eagles were coined at the Dahlonega Mint in 1850. The surviving population is estimated at 125-150 pieces, with 38-43 examples in AU grades. The present coin is well struck, unusual for this issue, with only slight weakness on Liberty's curls and the reverse denticles. The pleasing greenish-gold surfaces show few abrasions for the grade.(Registry values: P2)
1851-D $2 1/2 AU50 NGC. Variety 14-M. Only 11,264 examples were coined, and approximately 100 to 150 of those still exist today, including about two dozen AU pieces. The issue is extremely rare in Mint State, but it trades at the same level as several more available dates. This example has hints of green accompanying the light gold surfaces and significant mint luster remains on both sides. Scattered, insignificant abrasions are consistent with the grade. Census: 5 in 50, 45 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1852 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. Decisively detailed with butter-yellow and sun-gold luster. A noteworthy near-Gem example of this higher-mintage quarter eagle issue struck in the wake of the California Gold Rush. Population: 30 in 64, 12 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1853 $2 1/2 MS63 NGC. Excellent definition with vibrant gold-orange luster. This Select piece from the post-California Gold Rush era would make an excellent fit in a similarly graded type set.(Registry values: P2)
1854 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. This sun-gold Choice quarter eagle is bathed in luster, and the strike is crisp aside from trivial blending on the eagle's left (facing) leg. One small and subtle spot is noted above the E in STATES, and a thin mark passes through star 4. Census: 27 in 64, 10 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)
1854 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. The 1854 quarter eagle had a mintage of 596,258 coins, ample enough that every collector should be able to obtain an example. However, the date is an important condition rarity with few higher grade Mint State pieces known, as the population shows. This Choice Mint State example has frosty yellow luster with sharp design motifs. A few grade-limiting marks are evident. Also present are heavy reverse clash marks. Population: 20 in 64, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1856 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Among pre-Civil War quarter eagle issues, the 1856 is one of the few that is accessible even at the Gem level, though condition rarity is a given in that grade. This example boasts needle-sharp detail and shining yellow-gold surfaces that gain an aura of duskiness close to the rims. Population: 6 in 65, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1857 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The satiny butter-yellow obverse surfaces are pleasingly preserved, and the reverse offers slightly more brilliant luster. This near-Gem offers decisive central detail, and only a handful of the stars surrounding the portrait show any softness. Population: 14 in 64, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1857-S $2 1/2 AU53 PCGS. Greenish-gold and tan patina resides on the minimally abraded surfaces of this S-mint representative. Nice definition shows on the design features.(Registry values: P2)
1858 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. This minimally abraded quarter eagle has dazzling luster throughout the margins and devices. A better date, since a mere 47,377 pieces were struck. Population: 15 in 62, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1858 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Die polish lines traverse the semiprooflike fields of this highly attractive near-Gem and a solid strike leaves sharp detail on the design features except for minor weakness on the eagle's neck and left (facing) leg. Both sides yield straw-gold color, and a couple of trivial marks barely deny Gem status. Mint State examples are scarce through MS63 and rare any finer. Census: 5 in 64, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1859-D $2 1/2 AU50 PCGS. Variety 21-M, the only known variety. The low mintage of 2,244 and the status of being the last issue for the denomination from the Dahlonega Mint make the 1859-D quarter eagle a very popular coin. Mint-green and brass-gold color invigorates this AU specimen and the design elements exhibit relatively strong detail except for the usual localized weakness on the eagle. Both sides are quite clean.(Registry values: P2)
1859-S $2 1/2 XF45 PCGS. An attractive San Francisco Mint quarter eagle surviving from a mintage of only 15,200 coins. Most pieces entered circulation and stayed in commerce for a long time, receiving considerable wear. This example is better than most, with considerable luster for the grade. Population: 7 in 45, 26 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1859-S $2 1/2 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Luster bathes the borders and devices of this low mintage near-Mint example. Precisely struck and minimally abraded. The hard money economy of California preferred the convenience of double eagles, the reason only 15,200 quarter eagles were struck. Population: 8 in 58, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1861 $2 1/2 New Reverse, Type Two MS64 PCGS. This well struck and lustrous sun-gold example is remarkably free from contact, unlike most Mint State survivors. The arrowheads are small and separated, a key characteristic of the Type Two reverse, the usual variety for this collectible Civil War date.(Registry values: P2)
1862 $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Luster bathes the borders of this smooth and richly detailed Choice AU Civil War representative. The field is buckled beneath STATES, as made. Although the 1862 gold dollar had a mintage of more than 1.3 million pieces, its quarter eagle counterpart is from a production of less than 100,000 coins.(Registry values: P2)
1862/1 $2 1/2 AU50 PCGS. FS-301, formerly FS-002. An important quarter eagle overdate, the 1862/1 is known in extremely small quantities, with considerable collector demand. This pleasing piece has satiny orange-gold luster with traces of high point wear as expected for the grade. Population: 5 in 50, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1868-S $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Whispers of reddish-orange visit the yellow-gold surfaces of this well defined S-mint quarter eagle. A few light circulation marks are noted over each side.(Registry values: P2)
1873 $2 1/2 Open 3 MS65 PCGS. Although the mintage was substantially higher than for most contemporary quarter eagles, Gem Mint State pieces like this one are extremely rare. The surfaces are pristine and the strike is bold, with frosty and fully brilliant luster. Population: 10 in 65, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1873 $2 1/2 Closed 3 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The Closed 3 variant of the 1873 quarter eagle is more elusive than the Open 3, especially so at higher grade levels. This sharply struck near-Gem has impressive satiny luster with hints of peach on otherwise yellow-orange surfaces. Population: 42 in 64, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1874 $2 1/2 MS61 PCGS. The modestly reflective sun-gold surfaces show two small copper spots on the obverse rim, one near 4 o'clock and the other just below the first star to the left. Crisply struck and appealing despite a number of wispy abrasions and a line of more significant marks that appears to the left of Liberty's neck. Overall, a high-end survivor from this issue of only 3,920 pieces. Population: 4 in 61, 10 finer (8/07).(Registry values: P2)
1875-S $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. For date collectors, the 1875-S quarter eagle is extremely important as the only collectible example from that year. The Philadelphia Mint only produced 400 business strikes for the year. This pleasing example has brilliant, satin luster with hints of pink over the light yellow surfaces. Population: 4 in 62, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1877-S $2 1/2 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has Uncirculated details but is lightly cleaned and exhibits altered surfaces that make the fields appear luminous and prooflike. Short scratches are also present near the right (facing) wing.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1878 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. In 1878 there were more quarter eagles struck in Philadelphia than any other gold denomination except double eagles, although both totals were dwarfed by the enormous mintages of Morgan dollars. Flowing luster and abundant eye appeal are the chief attributes of this marvelous Gem quarter eagle. The apricot-gold surfaces are smooth and well-struck, as usual for the issue. Census: 29 in 65, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1878-S $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. A patch of roughness at the upper obverse of this brilliant yellow-gold example appears to be as struck. The design elements are bold and the luster is bright, with frosty surfaces. Survivors from the mintage of 178,000 are usually found in much lower grades. Population: 8 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1879-S $2 1/2 MS61 PCGS. A pleasing Mint State example from a mintage of 43,500 coins. This date, like many from the San Francisco Mint, circulated extensively with Mint State pieces surviving purely upon chance. This lovely example has few peers. Population: 4 in 61, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1887 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. A prooflike piece with a powerful strike and no singularly noticeable abrasions. Only 6,160 business strikes were issued. An excellent value relative to its three dollar counterpart, which has a similar production and is more available in Mint State. Population: 27 in 62, 33 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1889 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. This peach-gold low mintage near-Gem provides scintillating luster and lacks obvious abrasions. A good strike save for softness on the eagle's left (facing) leg and the opposite forehead curls. Population: 43 in 64, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1893 $2 1/2 MS66 PCGS. At 30,000 coins, the mintage of 1893 quarter eagles was higher than any other year from 1880 to 1899. However, examples are still elusive in better grades. This Premium Gem is tied for the finest that PCGS has certified. It has frosty butter-yellow luster with sharp design features. Population: 15 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1902 $2 1/2 MS67 PCGS. Swirling, satiny luster enlivens the deep yellow-gold surfaces of this sharply struck Superb Gem. An exquisitely preserved specimen, it offers wonderful eye appeal and would fit well in a type or date set of similar appearance. For the issue, it is one of 29 coins so graded by PCGS with none finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1903 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. This sharply struck lemon-gold near-Gem has dazzling luster and an occasional speckle of tan-brown patina. Although foreign banks were known to prefer higher denominations such as double eagles, a number of late date Liberty quarter eagles must also have been exported.(Registry values: N991)
1906 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. This Choice Mint State piece has the eye appeal of a full Gem at first glance, and only close inspection reveals a few trivial marks that limit the grade. It is sharply struck with brilliant light yellow luster. Traces of light orange toning add to its exceptional appearance.(Registry values: N991)
Proof Liberty Quarter Eagles
1884 $2 1/2 PR64 PCGS. CAC. The 1884 proof quarter eagle is similar to the quarter and half dollar of this date in that each has a low production of business strikes as well as proof strikings. Also, in each case first-strike circulation coins have been confused with actual proofs in the past. Only 73 proof two and a halves were struck, and it is estimated that today no more than 30 to 40 pieces are known in all grades. This is a lovely example that exhibits the cameo effect seen on many proofs from this year. The surfaces have a rich reddish color, and the fields are extraordinarily deep in their reflectivity. By way of future identification, there are two alloy spots, that appear like smudges, in the left obverse field and the left reverse field. Population: 5 in 64, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1885 $2 1/2 PR66 Cameo NGC. This Liberty quarter eagle proof issue is famous for its association with a business strike mintage of just 800 pieces, but the proof date's own production of just 87 specimens is not to be ignored, either. This high-quality Cameo specimen offers impressive contrast between the pale, frosted yellow-gold of the exquisitely detailed portraits and the glassy fields, which appear canary-yellow or golden-black depending on the angle. The surfaces are remarkably smooth, and though a handful of pinpoint marks are visible under magnification, the eye appeal is strong in all respects. Census: 1 in 66 Cameo, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1886 $2 1/2 Proof PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has PR60 details, but has been cleaned, and the reverse field is extensively smoothed. Patches of small marks are noted near the denomination. Just 88 proofs were struck.(Registry values: P3, N3)
1893 $2 1/2 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Most examples of the 1893 quarter eagle are in the PR64-PR65 range, although pieces can occasionally be found up to PR67. With Deep Cameo surfaces as here, however, this piece is conditionally much more elusive. PCGS has graded 29 non-Cameo or Cameo coins, but in Deep Cameo this piece is one of four at the PR64 level, with seven finer (10/09). The contrast on this example is splendid and obvious, with heavy frost on the devices and radiant mirrors that create the desired "black gold" effect. The only "flaw" of note is a tiny black spot on the lower truncation of Liberty's bust. Perhaps this precludes an even finer grade, but the eye appeal is nevertheless great. Population: 2 in 64 Deep Cameo, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1898 $2 1/2 PR63 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Despite a small mark on the cheek and hairlines in the fields, this is a splendid proof quarter eagle with bright yellow-gold devices and deeply mirrored fields. The mintage of 165 proofs was higher than any other mintage of the 1800s, and the date is usually considered a type coin. Perhaps 80 to 100 examples still survive, a total that includes a number of impaired coins. Population: 6 in 63 Deep Cameo, 13 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1899 $2 1/2 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Mirrored fields establish pronounced contrast with the frosted devices. Attractive yellow-gold coloration bathes both sides, each of which exhibits exquisitely struck design elements. Inoffensive wispy handling marks in the fields may deny a finer numerical grade, but take nothing from the coin's gorgeous eye appeal. Population: 1 in 64 Cameo, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1902 $2 1/2 PR62 PCGS. CAC. The 1902 quarter eagle has a reported proof production of 193 pieces, but most of the survivors are about the grade of the present piece. This was the year that the Philadelphia Mint moved away from highly contrasting surfaces for proof gold. This yellow-gold piece shows some scattered marks in the fields on each side that account for the grade, most notably behind Liberty's head. Despite minor contact, there is plenty of appeal on the sharply struck surfaces. Population: 20 in 62, 75 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
Indian Quarter Eagles
1908 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. A satiny apricot-gold representative with a clean appearance and an above average strike. An attractive type coin from the introductory year of the recessed relief design.(Registry values: N1793)
1909 $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS. A sharply defined example, this Select Mint State piece has frosty luster and brilliant yellow surfaces with hints of pink toning.(Registry values: N1793)
1909 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. A shimmering green-gold Gem with an exemplary strike and a paucity of marks. Excellent quality for the type, which is usually encountered with areas of incomplete strike on the eagle's shoulder and the lower reaches of the headdress. Considerably scarcer in higher grades than the postwar dates.(Registry values: N2998)
1910 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. Offered here is a wonderful Gem 1910 quarter eagle, with few finer coins known. This one has full mint brilliance with frosty golden luster and hints of salmon toning that enhance the eye appeal. The design elements are quite sharp, and the surfaces have only trivial marks. NGC has only certified 10 finer examples (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1911-D $2 1/2 XF45 PCGS. CAC. A lightly circulated but minimally marked example of this famed Indian quarter eagle key date, gold-orange toward the outside with lighter yellow centers that still show glimmers of luster. Traces of reddish alloy are visible within the letters of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Better-defined than average with a bold mintmark.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-D $2 1/2 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. The key issue to the Indian Head quarter eagle series, exhibiting light greenish-gold surfaces and considerable luster, despite being lightly cleaned on each side. The design definition is solid, and the mintmark is boldly visible.(Registry values: N2998)
1911-D $2 1/2 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. From a meager mintage of 55,600 pieces, the 1911-D Indian Head quarter eagle is the acknowledged key to the series. The present specimen is sharply struck and the surfaces are unabraded. The mintmark is distinct. The surfaces retain much of their original luster and color, blunted just a trifle by cleaning.(Registry values: N2998)
1911-D $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Bright yellow-gold luster dominates both sides, though the reverse shows a touch of duskiness at the margins. The design definition is unusually crisp, with the detail on the necklace particularly noteworthy. This Mint State example of the key Indian quarter eagle issue offers winning eye appeal, particularly for a coin not awarded a Select designation.(Registry values: N4719)
1913 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. The 1913 quarter eagle can be located with little difficulty through the near-Gem grade level. The certified population takes a noticeable drop in MS65 and again in MS66. No finer specimens have been seen by either PCGS or NGC. This sharply struck Gem displays lustrous peach gold surfaces tinted with hints of light green. A few minute marks in the reverse fields may well preclude an even higher grade. Population: 86 in 65, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1913 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. Rich orange toning invigorates this lustrous and boldly impressed Gem. Careful examination is required to locate even trivial marks. The 1913 is readily available through near-Gem. Gems are scarce and finer grades are extremely rare. Population: 86 in 65, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1914 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. An attractive blend of lilac, yellow-green, and apricot patina occupies both sides, each of which is generally well defined. A few light handling marks are visible under magnification.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Boldly impressed with luminous yellow-orange color. A dot of crimson alloy is noted just to the right of the crescent in the headdress, and on the reverse, a long, thin abrasion travels from the D in UNITED to the top of the eagle's wing.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS. CAC. An exceptional example for the grade with frosty luster and splendid straw-gold color. Faint olive and light blue patina adds to the aesthetic desirability of this sharply defined piece. The date has the second lowest mintage of the series, and it is a condition rarity in higher grades. This MS63 PCGS coin will prove a nice addition to a set of Indian quarter eagles.(Registry values: N2998)
1914-D $2 1/2 MS63 NGC. The yellow-gold surfaces have uncommonly bright, almost brassy luster. This strongly struck Select coin shows a distinct die erosion line around the obverse margins.(Registry values: N1793)
1915 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. Ex: Seminole Collection. As indicated by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006): " ... this date is generally obtainable in all grades up to MS64. In gem MS65 grades, this date is a moderate challenge but can be found with reasonable patience." Collectors seeking a Gem need look no further. This MS65 specimen displays pleasing luster and delicate straw-gold and light green coloration. An excellent strike brings out sharp definition on all of the design elements. NGC has seen a mere three pieces finer, and PCGS only two better (10/09)!(Registry values: N2998)
1925-D $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Subdued mint frost and brilliant luster combine with salmon toning over the light yellow gold surfaces to create an exceptional Choice Mint State piece. All design elements are bold.(Registry values: N1793)
1925-D $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. This Gem from the final Denver quarter eagle issue is ideal for the high-end type collector. Subtly frosted accents give way to intense yellow-orange luster in the fields and valleys. Substantially above-average detail and noteworthy eye appeal. PCGS has graded only 30 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1854 $3 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has AU details but is scratched and has altered surfaces. The pinscratches are minor and located near 6 and 9 o'clock on the reverse. There is a small gray spot near Liberty's forehead, and a larger gray spot on the left wreath stem.
1854 $3 XF45 ANACS. Liberty's hair and the leaves of the wreath display expected moderate wear, but luster remains apparent within the legends and other design recesses. Only one mentionable mark, a thin line near the 3.(Registry values: N1793)
1854 $3 AU50 NGC. Luster fills the wreath, legends, and coronet. Struck from prominently clashed dies, but there are no marks that merit comment. A lightly circulated example of the single-year small DOLLARS subtype.(Registry values: N1793)
1854 $3 AU53 PCGS. Deep sun-yellow color dominates the margins, while the still-lustrous centers are slightly paler. Faintly abraded overall, as expected of the grade, with minor wear focused on the high points.(Registry values: N1793)
1854-O $3 XF45 ANACS. The 1854-O three dollar is mostly encountered in Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated condition. Mint State coins are rare. David Bowers (2005) writes that '54-O three dollar pieces were placed into circulation soon after they were struck, as: "Distribution from the New Orleans Mint was widespread, including through ships in the coastwise and international trade calling at New Orleans." The yellow-gold surfaces of this Choice XF example exhibit well defined design motifs. Both sides are quite clean for a coin having seen some circulation.(Registry values: N1793)
1854-O $3 AU53 PCGS. The 1854-O was the lone three dollar gold piece struck at the New Orleans Mint, which has garnered it significant popularity. With a mintage of 24,000 pieces, this issue is available for a price in low grades, with VF or so coins often encountered. It becomes scarce in AU and is a rarity in Mint State. The AU53 example we offer here has pleasing green-gold patina and is generally well-defined, if soft at the obverse peripheral lettering. A few minuscule marks are scattered about, but none are particularly bothersome.(Registry values: N2998)
1855 $3 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Considerable luster remains in the butter-yellow fields despite evidence of light wear. Wispy abrasions on the obverse contribute to the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1856 $3 MS65 NGC. The 1856 three had a mintage of 26,010 coins, and nearly all survivors show evidence of circulation. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth observe that this date appears infrequently in auction, and that Mint State examples are rare. In The United States $3 Gold Pieces, Dave Bowers agrees: "In Mint State the rarity of the 1856 is not widely appreciated. Truly choice and gem pieces are seldom seen in the marketplace now, nor were they ever plentiful."
In our auctions dating back to 1993, we have only Mint State examples in 53 appearances, representing a smaller number of coins. Only 20 of the 53 appearances graded better than MS62. NGC and PCGS have only certified three MS65 examples, with none finer. This piece ranks as one of the finest known, a coin that will delight the specialist.
The rich peach-gold surfaces exude the desirable mint bloom so often lacking in lower quality coins, and the luster is full and complete. The design elements are sharply impressed by the dies, with no significant weakness on Liberty's curls or the wreath. In the end, however, we must look at the surfaces and these are what really separate this coin from the many and place it at the top of the grading selection. For this Gem to make the grade, the surfaces had to be really clean, and at first glance one would expect this to be a much later date to be so well preserved. Just a few minor, inoffensive marks on the reverse are mentioned for accuracy. The fields are partially prooflike, being associated with noticeable die striations. Census: 1 in 65, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)

Census: 1 in 65, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1857-S $3 VF30 PCGS. A lemon-gold example of this San Francisco three dollar gold issue with moderate wear. The portrait is minimally abraded, though a pair of linear marks appear to its right.(Registry values: N991)
1857-S $3 XF40 NGC. Peach-gold surfaces reveal traces of luster in some of the protected areas. Lightly worn on the hair and the usual strike softness on the date digits. Scattered minute marks do not detract.(Registry values: N1793)
1858 $3 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that has been harshly cleaned. Both sides show numerous tiny, scattered abrasions; the yellow obverse is over-bright, while the reverse is dusky and luminous.
1861 $3 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an Uncirculated specimen that has been cleaned. While the pale yellow-gold surfaces show disturbed luster and are artificially bright, the sharply struck devices show no trace of wear.
1861 $3 AU53 NGC. This example is sharply struck with lovely light yellow luster and attractive reddish-orange toning near the obverse and reverse borders. With a limited mintage of 5,959 coins, this is a scarce date, as well as a popular issue from the early days of the Civil War.(Registry values: N1793)
1861 $3 AU55 NGC. CAC. The low-mintage three dollar gold denomination had a moderately active place in circulation until the onset of the Civil War in 1861, when nearly all gold and silver currency disappeared into hoards. This modestly worn example comes from that fateful year, in which just 5,959 business strikes were produced. Peach-accented yellow-gold surfaces remain pleasingly lustrous.(Registry values: N1793)
1864 $3 AU55 NGC. Considerable flashy luster remains in the yellow-gold fields of this Civil War-era three dollar gold piece. The devices show light but distinct wear on the high points, and there are minor abrasions scattered throughout, as well as a significant mark along Liberty's jawline. Still, a highly attractive coin for the grade. NGC has graded 79 numerically finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1864 $3 AU55 NGC. After the onset of the Civil War, the three dollar gold denomination rarely circulated, but examples such as this 1864 coin sometimes are found with light wear. The yellow-gold fields remain brightly lustrous, though a pinscratch runs from the D in UNITED to the L in LIBERTY. One of just 2,630 business strikes produced.(Registry values: N1793)
1866 $3 --Damaged--NCS. AU Details. Well struck with impressive yellow-gold luster considering the amount of wear. The fields show numerous abrasions, including a crescent-shaped depression that overlaps the final 6 in the date.(Registry values: N1793)
1866 $3 AU55 NGC. The 1866 is seldom seen in any grade with only 125 to 180 pieces believed known in all circulated grades out of an original mintage of 4,000 business strikes. This piece has just the slightest trace of the often-seen prooflikeness in the fields. A number of small, insignificant abrasions are scattered over each side of this mostly yellow-gold coin.(Registry values: N1793)
1866 $3 --Obverse Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. Faint obverse hairlines show up under a loupe. Straw-gold surfaces display more luster on the reverse of this well struck three dollar, and both sides are devoid of significant contact marks. Prospective bidders should not be dissuaded by the light obverse cleaning. This is a scarce low mintage issue.(Registry values: N2998)
1867 $3 MS60 NGC. Ex: South Texas Collection. Only 2,600 examples were minted in 1867, and survivors are elusive. This piece is sharply struck, and like most examples of the date, it has reflective fields. The low mintage was insufficient for the original die polish to diminish from repeated press cycles. Census: 3 in 60, 22 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1869 $3 AU58 NGC. Typical lightly abraded surfaces and a trace of rub prevents a full Mint State grade to this three dollar gold piece, surviving from a mintage of only 2,500 coins. That mintage ensures that this issue provides the date collector with a long search. Census: 44 in 58, 21 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1870 $3 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .95 suggests Scratches or Rim Dents as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned and has an obverse scratch. Surfaces are primarily yellow-gold and mildly reflective with large areas of rosy alloy on the reverse. The obverse has a shallow but readily visible staple scratch down the center of the portrait.
1870 $3 AU55 PCGS. A low-mintage date with only 3,500 pieces struck for circulation. Most of those are similar to this piece and show prooflike tendencies in the fields. The coin is also bright yellow-gold. A few field marks are present from its short time in circulation, but none are worthy of singular mention.(Registry values: N1793)
1874 $3 XF40 ANACS. Light to moderate wear visits each side of this yellow-gold three dollar coin. Still-lustrous surfaces are minimally abraded, making this piece ideal for a similarly graded type set.(Registry values: N1793)
1874 $3 AU55 NGC. Three dollar pieces were seldom seen in circulation after the Civil War, but the present example entered briefly commerce and shows light wear on the cheek and Liberty's hair. Luster percolates from the borders and devices.(Registry values: N1793)
1874 $3 AU58 NGC. A strongly struck wheat-gold and sun-yellow example of this popular higher-mintage three dollar gold issue. Highly lustrous surfaces show only minor rub and small, scattered abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1874 $3 AU58 PCGS. A bright, briefly circulated sun-yellow example of this popular type issue. The strike is solid, and the fields show a degree of reflectivity.(Registry values: N1793)
1874 $3 MS63 PCGS. The 1874 and 1878 three dollar gold are the usual choices for type coin collectors in this popular series, after the first-year issue. This Select Mint State coin has lovely reddish-gold surfaces with much eye appeal. Scattered minor contact is lesser than expected for the grade, and local strike softness appears at the bowknot on the reverse.(Registry values: N2998)
1874 $3 MS64 NGC. CAC. A shining near-Gem representative of this ever-popular odd-denomination type issue, boldly impressed save for the often-weak bow knot on the wreath. Yellow-gold surfaces offer lively, swirling luster and show few marks of any significance. NGC has graded 14 numerically finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1874 $3 MS65 NGC. The Mint Act of 1873, among many other important measures, provided for the melting and recoinage of old gold coins, resulting in the large production of 1874 three dollar gold pieces. The 41,800 coins produced puts the issue third behind the generous 1878 emission (82,304 pieces) and the first-year 1854 total (138,618 coins). While Mint State examples of the 1874 can be found up to MS64, Gems such as the present coin are highly elusive and see intense demand from type collectors competing for the few specimens available. This coin is one of only 13 so certified at NGC, with a single coin finer (10/09). Intense luster shines forth from bright yellow-gold surfaces that are remarkably free of abrasions, large or small. A small reddish alloy spot on the obverse near the bottom of the ER in AMERICA provides an identifier. The bold strike is a definite plus, adding much to the considerable eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
1878 $3 MS62 PCGS. A well-defined, attractive specimen of this high-mintage issue. The original surfaces exhibit frosty luster and a minimum number of handling marks for the grade. The 1878 three dollar gold piece was minted in large quantities, anticipating a large scale redemption of paper money that failed to occur. The date is in demand as an appropriate choice for type collectors.(Registry values: N2998)
1878 $3 MS62 NGC. Strongly struck on the portrait, though the wreath shows a degree of customary softness at the bow. The yellow-orange luster is strong and swirling, characteristic of the most attractive examples of the issue, regardless of grade. Scattered wispy abrasions in the fields surrounding the portrait preclude Select status.(Registry values: N2998)
1878 $3 MS63 PCGS. A large mintage of 82,304 three dollar gold pieces was achieved at the Philadelphia Mint in 1878. The issue is the most plentiful of the series in Mint State grades, making it popular with type and three dollar collectors. The present coin is well struck for the issue, showing only the typical weakness on the hair, wreath, and 18 in the date. The surfaces are attractive, with vibrant, frosty luster.(Registry values: N2998)
1878 $3 MS64 NGC. CAC. Both sides of this Choice example are impressively lustrous, but the obverse is particularly so, with the smaller whorls peculiar to the three dollar gold design out in full force. Great design definition and strong surface quality for the grade, an excellent pick for the type collector.(Registry values: N2998)
1880 $3 MS64 NGC. An even 1,000 coins were made of this issue from the last decade of the Indian Princess three dollar series, which even by the time this piece was produced was looking more and more to be an anachronism. Bowers' reference on the series notes that the 1880 issue "stand high in the rarity sweepstakes. Mint State coins are very elusive and circulated examples are the second rarest of the decade (behind 1884)." The surfaces on this piece show lovely, highly lustrous, golden-orange color with occasional lilac interspersed. The Indian princess's cheek is clean, but a couple of small ticks in the obverse field may prevent an even finer grade. The reverse appears free of singular abrasions. Census: 49 in 64, 23 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1881 $3 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. A pinscratch runs from the forehead to the right of the nose to the chin. Light wear occurs on the highpoints of this variegated mint-green and peach-gold specimen. Traces of luster reside in the protected areas.
1888 $3 MS64 PCGS. Toward the end of the series, the three dollar pieces failed to circulate actively, so high grade pieces can be found, despite seemingly low mintages. The 1888 has a mintage of only 5,000 coins, yet it trades at about type coin levels. Survivors are typically in the MS63 to MS65 grade range, much like this satiny yellow-gold near-Gem. The strike is good and the surfaces pleasing with only a few tiny abrasions.(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1888 $3 PR58 PCGS. CAC. A flashy and pinpoint-sharp representative of this elusive proof issue. From proof dies, identified by the date location, which is placed slightly left relative to the also scarce business strikes. Although the present coin momentarily entered circulation, it was soon set aside and is nearly unabraded. Certified in a green label holder.(Registry values: N2998)
Early Half Eagles
1795 $5 Small Eagle--Plugged, Repaired--NGC. AU Details. Breen-6413, BD-4, R.5. Holed above the cap and now plugged and tooled to preserve the overall appearance. Both sides still retain slight full, uninterrupted design features and bright green-gold surfaces. Despite its issues, this is an attractive first-year gold half eagle.(Registry values: P5)
1798 $5 Large Eagle, Large 8, 13 Stars Reverse--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. XF Details. Breen 6426, BD-2, R-5. The obverse of the BD-2 variety shows a dramatic die crack under the date. It is the same obverse die used on the legendary 1798 Small Eagle half eagle, BD-1. While the BD-2 is not in the same class as the BD-1, it is still a rare and interesting issue. Perhaps 50-70 examples are known today, from an estimated mintage of 3,500- 4,500 pieces. The present coin has muted color and blurred detail from being cleaned long ago, but some of the original texture and charm remain on the lightly abraded surfaces.(Registry values: P3)
1798 $5 Large Eagle, Large 8, 14 Star Reverse--Scratches--NGC. AU Details. Breen-6427, BD-3, R.5. The engraver apparently miscounted the stars that he entered, placing a 14th star at the left end of the second row on the reverse. This piece shows a shattered reverse die with several cracks and heavy die chips in the shield. Green-gold surfaces retain traces of luster, with minor scratches on each side.(Registry values: P4)
1800 $5 MS60 NGC. Breen-6438, BD-5, High R.3. A later die state with three spindly cracks on the lower reverse. A sharply struck light yellow-gold example with luster throughout the stars, curls, and cap. A small roundish strike-through is noted near obverse star 8, and a hair-thin mark reaches the E in STATES.(Registry values: P2)
1802/1 $5 PCGS Genuine. Breen-6440, BD-1, High R.4. The PCGS number ending in .95 suggests Scratches or Rim Dents as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this piece has the details of an XF specimen that has been scratched and cleaned. The butter-yellow surfaces show hairlines and a degree of over-bright luster from a past cleaning. Scratches are noted at the right obverse and across the reverse, including a small "8" near the arrows. Still, a well-defined example of this very scarce variety.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1802/1 $5 MS64 NGC. Breen-6440, BD-8, R.4. The 1802/1 is frequently encountered in grades up to and including MS63. At the MS64 level it is a significant condition rarity with only a couple of dozen pieces (at most) known, and it is virtually unobtainable as a Gem. The Harry Bass Collection, for instance, had eight different examples of this variety with just one coin similarly graded as MS64. This is an especially pleasing coin that shows crisp striking definition in virtually all areas, most notably on the hair curls of Liberty and the eagle's breast feathers. The bright, lustrous surfaces are accented by rich reddish patina around the margins with the usual green-gold coloration elsewhere.
Eight die varieties are known for the 1802/1 half eagles, from two distinctly different obverse dies, both overdated with a 2 punched over a previous 1. Obverse 1 can be identified by the low overdate with the top of the 2 distant from the bust and the previous 1 below the center of the 2. Obverse 2 (and represented here) is identified by a high digit 2 with its top touching the bust, and the previous 1 left of center below the 2. This variety is identifiable by the long spine on the reverse that runs from a leaf into the R in AMERICA. Struck from an intermediate die state with light clash marks on the obverse and a faint die crack from the left top of U through the center of N to the bases of I and T. Census: 15 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)

1803/2 $5 PCGS Genuine. Breen-6441, BD-3, R.4. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this piece has the details of an XF specimen that has been cleaned. Though lightly worn, this coin retains strong overall detail. The yellow-orange surfaces show a mix of abrasions and hairlines, with a significant mark present on Liberty's cheek.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1806 $5 Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars--Cleaned--ANACS. AU Details, Net XF40. Breen-6448, BD-6, R.2. Well-defined for the die pair with only light wear present on the central design elements. Both sides show a number of marks; in addition to the expected scattered abrasions from circulation, a past cleaning has left a number of crisscrossing straight lines in the bright yellow-gold fields on each side.(Registry values: P2)
1806 $5 Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars MS64 NGC. Breen-6448, BD-6, R.2. The Round Top 6 variety is a distinctive type issue, with the obverse stars arranged seven left and six right. All previous issues, including the 1806 Pointed 6 coins, have eight stars to the left and five to the right. The new 7x6 star arrangement remained in effect until the coinage design was discontinued in 1807. Type collectors will be interested in this near-Gem, whether they are seeking examples of both star arrangements, or just a single piece to represent the Draped Bust type. The 1806 Knobbed 6 or Round Top 6 half eagle is the most plentiful early five dollar piece, regardless of type, date, or grade. With many pieces to choose from, collectors will be paid dividends by waiting for exactly the right coin, cherrypicking for quality.
This amazing piece has frosty green-gold luster on both sides, encircled by rich and brilliant orange-gold toning near the peripheries. Technically, gold does not tone, and the bright orange color seen on each side is a result of the copper alloy. The pristine surfaces have an incredible cartwheel appearance, with nothing more than trivial marks on each side. The strike is sharp, even at the centers, with the exception of weakness at the junction of the left (facing) wing and the shield. The connoisseur will appreciate the exceptional technical quality as well as the remarkable beauty of this half eagle. Census: 46 in 64, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)

1806 $5 Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars MS64 NGC. Breen-6448, BD-6, R.2. The Capped Head Right design was retired midway through 1807, but a substantial mintage of 64,093 pieces was accomplished in 1806. Six different die varieties are known for the 1806 half eagle, five varieties with a pointed 6 in the date and the present BD-6, with a round top or knobbed 6. In Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, John Dannreuther estimates 35,000 to 50,000 examples of the BD-6 variety were produced, as it is the most available variety today. The surviving population is believed to total 600-900 examples in all grades.
Early gold collectors have prized the BD-6 since it was first recognized as a distinct variety in the 1860s. One of the key features of the BD-6 is the placement of the obverse stars in a 7x6 pattern around the bust (previously the stars were arranged 8x5). Catalogers began to notice the new pattern by the time of the Sixth Semi-Annual Sale (Woodward, 3/1865), where lot 2760 in the half eagle section reads, "1806 Six stars facing; fine and exceedingly rare." The lot sold to J.O. Emery for $8. Interestingly, when Woodward sold the Emery, Taylor & Loomis Collections (Woodward, 3/1880), the coin was not listed in the catalog. Emery must have disposed of part of his collection privately.
The present coin is well struck, with softly frosted mint luster. The attractive surfaces are a bright yellow-gold color. No mentionable handling marks are evident, suggestive of an even higher grade. The difficulty of improving on this specimen is evident when one considers that NGC and PCGS combined have certified only three coins in higher grades (10/09).(Registry values: P2)

1807 $5 Bust Left MS62 NGC. Breen-6453, BD-8, R.2. John Reich's Capped Bust Left design was introduced on the half eagle coinage in mid-1807. Eight die varieties are known for the year, but only two of them, BD-7 and BD-8, are from the new design. The present coin is a representative of the more available BD-8 variety, with an estimated surviving population of 500-750 pieces. BD-8 is recognized from the position of the bottom arrow feather pointing to the tip of the 5 in the denomination, and the O in OF located above the N in UNUM. Examples in Mint State grades are scarce today.
Early catalogers were careful to distinguish between the two design types seen on 1807 half eagles, calling the old Capped Bust Right design the Head of 1806, and Reich's new Capped Bust Left design the Head of 1808. In the Fifth Semi-Annual Sale (Woodward, 10/1864), both designs were described as:
Both lots realized $11.50, a good price in the 1860s.
The present coin is sharply defined in all areas. The surfaces are lustrous, with an attractive olive-tinged color. One mentionable mark is in the upper reverse field, between the scroll and eagle's head, and there is some shallow pinscratching in the left obverse field that accounts for the grade. Census: 58 in 62, 63 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)

"1637 1807 Head of 1806; remarkably fine, scarce.
"1638 1807 Head of 1808; uncirculated, brilliant."
Both lots realized $11.50, a good price in the 1860s.

1808 $5 PCGS Genuine. Wide 5D, Breen-6457, BD-4, High R.3. The PCGS number ending in .95 suggests that Scratches or a Rim Dent is the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. This piece has Mint State details with a rim bruise at 2 o'clock, and minor field scratches. It is an attractive green-gold example with excellent luster.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 PCGS Genuine. Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned. The devices are starkly outlined, but the dusky butter-yellow surfaces are hazy with hairlines from a past cleaning. A small scrape is noted to the right of star 4.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1811 $5 Tall 5 PCGS Genuine. Tall 5, Breen-6463, BD-1, High R.3. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been harshly cleaned. The fields on both sides display vertical hairlines, and the upper reverse field exhibits horizontal hairlines. Nonetheless, a well struck green-gold example of this elusive early gold type.(Registry values: P2, N2)
Classic Half Eagles
1834 $5 Plain 4 AU55 NGC. Second Head, Breen-6502, McCloskey 2-A, R.2. Triple-punched 4. The Classic Head quarter eagles and half eagles are one of the least studied types of all early U.S. coins, but current research is underway by several individuals. This Choice AU piece represents a plentiful variety. It has traces of prooflike surface with strong green-gold luster.(Registry values: P1)
1835 $5 --Cleaned--ANACS. MS60 Details. Breen-6504, McCloskey 1-A, R.2. A solidly struck example of this popular half eagle variety with no trace of wear. Radiant yellow-gold surfaces have slightly disrupted luster from a past cleaning, but the overall eye appeal is considerable.(Registry values: P1)
1835 $5 MS62 NGC. Ex: Bass. Second Head, Breen-6505, McCloskey 3-D, R.3. Second year of issue for the popular Classic Head series, a gold series that has been overlooked in the past, especially by variety specialists. This lovely piece has bright orange-gold mint luster. There are only a few grade-limiting marks in the fields. The devices are fully brought up on both obverse and reverse.
Ex: Goliad Corporation, June 1974; Harry Bass (Bowers and Merena, 5/2000), lot 328.(Registry values: P1)

Liberty Half Eagles
1839 $5 AU50 NGC. The 1839-dated half eagles represent a one-year design subtype, since the portrait differs in subtle ways from the visage it bore from 1840 to 1908. This well defined AU example is smooth overall despite an unimportant obverse rim ding at 3 o'clock.(Registry values: P5)
1841 $5 AU53 PCGS. Only 15,800 half eagles were coined at the Philadelphia Mint in 1841 and the issue is scarce in all grades. Highly prized by date collectors, some of the cachet of its famous quarter eagle counterpart has rubbed off on the 1841 five. The present coin is well defined, with a scattering of insignificant marks on both sides. Slight, even wear is evident on the high points of the devices. Population: 4 in 53, 24 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)
1842-C $5 Large Date XF40 PCGS. Variety 1, though curiously there is no differentiation between the Small and Large Dates within Variety 1. Well struck for the issue with strong yellow-orange luster in the protected areas. Wear appears mostly on the high design elements. For the Large Date variant, Population: 9 in 40, 46 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
1842-D $5 Small Date VF25 PCGS. Variety 8-E. The date and reverse lettering are petite compared to the Large Date variant. This moderately abraded midrange piece offers pleasing yellow-orange color. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: P3)
1842-D $5 Small Date VF35 PCGS. Variety 8-E. A pale gold Choice VF Dahlonega five with pleasing wing detail and a faded mark on the field near Liberty's chin. Fewer than 60,000 pieces were coined.(Registry values: P3)
1846-C $5 XF40 PCGS. Variety 1. Only 12,995 half eagles were coined at the Charlotte Mint in 1846. The issue is one of the scarcest C-Mint half eagles, with an estimated surviving population of 100 to 125 pieces in all grades. Perhaps 30 to 40 examples are extant at the XF level. The present coin shows moderate, even wear on the obverse, and somewhat less wear on the reverse. The surfaces on both sides show few abrasions. Population: 9 in 40, 40 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
1846-O $5 AU55 NGC. Considerable luster remains on the lemon-yellow surfaces, with a frame of pale orange toning confined to the borders outside the dentils. The surfaces are moderately abraded as usual. Although 58,000 pieces were minted, this issue is seldom encountered privately or in auctions. In 16 years, we only have 17 auction offerings in grades higher than the present piece, including reofferings of a smaller number of pieces. Census: 17 in 55, 33 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P6)
1851 $5 AU58 PCGS. Strongly impressed with virtually intact yellow-gold luster. Scattered abrasions throughout with a small depression in the middle of the eagle's shield. Modest friction accounts for the grade. Population: 22 in 58, 39 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
1851-C $5 XF45 NGC. Variety 1. The punchmark as described in the Winter reference is visible on the lobe of Liberty's ear, and the C mintmark on the reverse is centered. A second reverse die is known with the mintmark far to the left, over the left top of the V. A pleasing light yellow example, enhanced by pale orange toning on each side. Scattered surface marks are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: P4)
1852 $5 MS62 PCGS. Despite the large mintage exceeding a half-million coins, the 1852 is today a scarce issue in Mint State. This MS62 example boasts generous luster over both sides, and abrasions are fewer than expected for the grade, although a series of reeding marks in the left obverse field require singular mention. The strike is a bit soft on some of Liberty's curls, but other details are bold and sharp. Population: 37 in 62, 29 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4)
1854 $5 MS61 PCGS. Sharply struck and shining with considerable orange "fire" that enhances the otherwise yellow-gold surfaces. The fine marks that account for the grade do little to affect the strong eye appeal. Population: 5 in 61, 37 finer (9/09).
Includes a Photo Proof from NGC, when it was in a prior holder.(Registry values: P5)

1857 $5 MS64 PCGS. With a mintage of 98,188 coins, the 1857 will not be found on a list of major gold rarities. However, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth observe in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, that "the 1857 half eagle is underpriced in Mint State and should trade for much more than the common examples of the type." NGC and PCGS, combined, have never graded a Gem example of the date, and they have only certified four Choice MS64 pieces, including this example. Both sides of this frosty Mint State piece have excellent surfaces with rich yellow-gold luster and subdued mint frost. The design motifs are sharply struck. Population: 3 in 64, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P5)
1860 $5 AU55 NGC. An undipped sun-gold example with unblemished surfaces and ample luster near the rims. Unlike the 1861, the mintage is low since a mere 19,763 pieces were coined. Census: 24 in 55, 33 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)
1860-S $5 VF25 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint coined 21,200 half eagles in 1860, and it is likely that every one entered circulation. The present piece has considerable wear, and it is typical of those that survive. The surfaces are pleasing and mark-free, with excellent eye appeal for the grade. Population: 3 in 25, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P7)
1860-S $5 XF45 NGC. A splendid Choice XF example of this scarce half eagle. The mintage was a mere 21,200 coins, and like most early S-Mint gold coins, most or all entered circulation where they became well worn. This piece has soft, yellow-matte surfaces with traces of luster. Few abrasions are evident on either side. Census: 19 in 45, 22 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P7)
1866-S $5 Motto XF45 NGC. Both sides of this first-year Motto five remain subtly lustrous with rose-lavender peripheral tints highlighting the deep orange-gold color present elsewhere. Strongly struck for a San Francisco product of the era, with bold centers on most of the stars and well-defined strands in Liberty's hair. Census: 11 in 45, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1867-S $5 VF25 NGC. A moderately worn piece, softly struck with scattered abrasions across the light yellow-gold surfaces. The reverse shows a rim bruise to the left of the final A in AMERICA.(Registry values: P3)
1868 $5 XF45 PCGS. Only 5,700 of these coins were struck, and survivors are rare in all grades. This Choice XF piece has pleasing surfaces and retains traces of luster.(Registry values: P3)
1868-S $5 XF40 PCGS. The borders display traces of luster, and the straw-gold surfaces lack noticeable marks. A minor depression is noted beneath the TA in STATES. Just 52,000 pieces were struck.(Registry values: P3)
1870 $5 XF45 PCGS. Hints of orange toning enrich the borders. Just 4,000 business strike half eagles were coined at Philadelphia in 1870, because gold coins were hoarded from circulation between 1862 and 1878 except in California. Population: 10 in 45, 16 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1870-CC $5 XF45 PCGS. CAC. "Key to a set of 'CC' half eagles and highly esteemed by gold coin specialists, the 1870-CC $5 is rarely available in grades above XF and practically nonexistent in Uncirculated condition." So Rusty Goe introduces the issue in his The Mint on Carson Street, though the collector who sets eyes on this remarkable Choice XF representative might well wonder if a higher-graded example would be worth pursuing after all! It boasts far better central definition than is often seen, and while minor marks are present on each side, only a handful, such as the one to the left of Liberty's chin, attract any sort of individual notice. The apricot-accented yellow-gold surfaces retain a subtle radiance. Population: 10 in 45, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1871-CC $5 XF45 PCGS. CAC. Excellent striking definition for an early Carson City coin, though wear has affected the center of Liberty's head. Dusky sun-yellow surfaces remain luminous despite a number of faint marks. A small alloy spot is noted on the rim near star 5, and a much broader area affects the eagle's right (facing) wing. Population: 11 in 45, 20 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1871-S $5 AU50 NGC. Bright brass-gold surfaces display hints of luster in the recesses, and reveal a curving streak of deeper yellow-gold on the lower obverse. Well defined save for strike weakness on the eagle. Distributed minute marks are visible over each side.(Registry values: P3)
1872-S $5 AU55 PCGS. The 1872-S half eagle, with a mintage of 36,400 pieces, is a very rare issue in any grade, and is nearly unobtainable in Mint State. The Choice AU example in this lot exhibits bright yellow-gold surfaces that retain a considerable amount of luster. The design features are well brought up, and just a few minute abrasions are scattered about on both sides. This piece is currently tied with six others as the finest-graded at PCGS (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1874-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. In circulated grades up to AU50, the 1874-CC is frequently seen in auctions and at conventions. However, finer quality pieces like this near-Mint example are elusive, despite a significant mintage of 21,198 coins. PCGS has only certified two full Mint State examples of this issue, while NGC has certified a single Mint State piece. The present piece is virtually the equal of those full Mint State specimens, separated from the higher grade due to a trace of wear on the design high points. The surfaces are brilliant and lustrous, with few abrasions on either side. Population: 9 in 58, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1875-CC $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 2-C. From a small mintage of 11,828 pieces, the 1875-CC Liberty Head half eagle is a rare issue in high grade. The present coin is a well-preserved specimen, with attractive reddish-gold color and above average luster. A scattering of small abrasions is typical of the issue, and consistent with the grade. Census: 10 in 55, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1879-S $5 MS62 NGC. Just 426,200 of these coins were struck, and survivors are elusive in Mint State grades. This lovely piece has brilliant rose and lemon-gold luster with sharp details and trivial, grade-consistent marks. Census: 50 in 62, 25 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1880 $5 MS64 NGC. CAC. Wheat-gold surfaces emit pleasing luster and exhibit well struck design features. Minor handling marks define the grade.(Registry values: P2)
1880-S $5 MS64 NGC. An impressive near-Gem, this fully brilliant and highly lustrous yellow-gold example is particularly difficult to locate in similar grades, and next to impossible any finer. NGC and PCGS combined have only certified 18 better examples. The present piece is wonderful quality for the grade.(Registry values: P3)
1881 $5 MS65 PCGS. This issue shows a high certified population through MS63 and near-Gems can be located with some patience. However, higher-grade examples are extremely rare. Yellow-gold, apricot, and mint-green surfaces are endowed with dazzling luster and exhibit sharp design features. A few trivial grade-consistent marks are inconsequential. Population: 12 in 65, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1881-S $5 MS63 Prooflike NGC. Prooflike fields yield pleasing variance with the motifs. Sharply defined except for minor weakness in portions of Liberty's hair. Scattered marks define the grade. Census: 3 in 63 Prooflike, 3 finer (10/09).
1883-S $5 MS62 PCGS. A lovely example for the grade, and elusive any finer. This piece has a delicate blend of light rose toning and frosty yellow luster. Both sides have bold design features. Population: 29 in 62, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1883-S $5 MS63 PCGS. Light pink toning highlights the frosty yellow-gold luster of this important rarity. Only 83,200 coins were minted, and the typical example, when one is found at all, grades in the middle AU range. PCGS has only certified 16 of these in MS63, and the present sale has two of them! We are delighted to make such an unusual presentation, giving two collectors the opportunity to acquire an exceptional example for their collection. Population: 16 in 63, 3 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P3)
1883-S $5 MS63 PCGS. An elusive and underrated date, the 1883-S is conditionally rare in all grades above MS60. The date is a major rarity in MS63, and virtually impossible any finer. In fact, PCGS has only graded three finer pieces, and NGC has never graded an MS64 or finer example. This piece is boldly defined with frosty yellow-gold luster and faint pink highlights. The surfaces have a few trivial, grade-consistent abrasions. Population: 16 in 63, 3 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P3)
1885 $5 MS64 PCGS. Lustrous peach-gold surfaces exhibit sharply struck motifs. A few trivial marks deny Gem classification. Population: 51 in 64, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1885-S $5 MS64 NGC. Although the 1885-S half eagle is considered a common date with a mintage of more than 1.2 million coins, Gem examples are conditionally scarce. This near-Gem will fit nicely in a high grade set. It exhibits brilliant yellow luster with olive-gold toning at the borders.(Registry values: P2)
1885-S $5 MS64 ANACS. Sharply struck with shining yellow-gold surfaces that show blushes of orange close to the rims. A minimally marked coin for the grade, housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: P2)
1885-S $5 MS65 NGC. The 1885-S Liberty Head half eagle is one of the more available issues in the series, with a large mintage of 1.2 million pieces. Accordingly, the date is popular with type collectors and date collectors alike. The issue becomes scarce at the Gem level, and it is rare in any grade above MS65. The present coin is a delightful specimen, sharply struck, with lovely orange-gold color and excellent eye appeal. Census: 91 in 65, 16 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1887-S $5 MS64 NGC. Despite a mintage of more than 1.9 million pieces, the 1887-S is very scarce as a near-Gem. The issue is typically encountered in MS61 or MS62, since most survivors were poorly stored for generations. The present well struck piece provides an exception, since the lustrous pumpkin-gold fields and devices exhibit minimal marks. Census: 50 in 64, 6 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)
1889 $5 MS62 NGC. Strong yellow-gold luster shows elements of orange, particularly on the reverse. The central detail is exacting, though the stars are a trifle soft. Great eye appeal for this lower-mintage issue. Census: 18 in 62, 9 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1890-CC $5 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. The 1890-CC Liberty Head half eagle boasts an original mintage of 53,800 pieces. The emergence of a small hoard in the mid-1990s made the 1890-CC one of the more available issues of the series in high grade. The date is quite popular with type collectors, as well as Western gold specialists. The present coin features a sharp strike, with good luster, and deeper orange-gold surfaces. Overall eye appeal is excellent. Population: 70 in 62, 59 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1890-CC $5 MS64 NGC. A hoard of between 20 and 30 Uncirculated 1890-CC half eagles entered the market in the fall of 1996, a number of which were in the MS62 to MS64 range (Douglas Winter, 2001). Near-Gems such as the example in the present lot, however, are still scarce. The issue remains very rare in Gem and above.
Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit well struck design elements, save for the usual minor weakness on the eagle's neck and breast and obverse rim. Minute obverse marks deny Gem classification. Census: 28 in 64, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P2)

1891-CC $5 MS61 NGC. Sharply struck peach-gold surfaces display a good amount of luster. A few light marks are visible over each side.(Registry values: P1)
1892 $5 MS64 NGC. An attractive near-Gem, exhibiting lustrous yellow gold surfaces and excellent eye appeal. This rather common issue is usually found in lower Mint State grades.(Registry values: P2)
1893 $5 MS64 NGC. Exquisitely detailed on the portrait, which shows the strands in the hair in remarkably high relief. Both sides are pale yellow-gold at first glance, but warm peach luster appears at certain angles. NGC has graded 64 numerically finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: P2)
1893-O $5 MS61 NGC. This scarce date is normally found in higher circulated grades. Lightly abraded surfaces have full mint brilliance with green-gold luster. The strike is above average.(Registry values: P3)
1893-O $5 MS62 NGC. A lovely green-gold half eagle with satiny luster and pleasing surfaces. Some central weakness is typical of these scarce coins. Only 110,000 were minted, and most are in lower grades. Census: 76 in 62, 12 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1893-O $5 MS63 NGC. Only a few half eagle issues were struck at New Orleans after the facility re-opened in 1879. The 1893-O is the most available among these, but is nonetheless low mintage, and is rare above the MS62 level. This lustrous honey-gold example is boldly struck, and field marks are relatively sparse. Census: 10 in 63, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P3)
1893-S $5 MS64 NGC. Distinct peach and pink hues grace satiny surfaces that are otherwise strong yellow-gold. This minimally marked near-Gem is generally well-defined. Census: 31 in 64, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1896-S $5 MS62 PCGS. Just 10 finer pieces have appeared in our auctions over the last 16 years, including some that were offered in more than one event. This date is a major rarity in higher Mint State grades, and the present piece is expected to meet with considerable demand. This piece is sharply struck and fully lustrous with excellent eye appeal. A few trivial marks are expected for the grade. Faint splashes of coppery-orange toning can be seen on the reverse. Population: 12 in 62, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P3)
1899 $5 MS64 NGC. Impressive yellow-gold luster with hints of peach and pink close to the rims. The portrait is generally clean, and the fields show only a handful of scattered abrasions.(Registry values: P1)
1901/0-S $5 MS64 PCGS. FS-301, formerly FS-006. The underdigit 0 shows most prominently to the right of the top of the second 1 in the date. Lime-green and apricot shades blend throughout this lustrous and pinpoint-sharp near-Gem. Faint contact near the profile prevents a higher third party assessment.(Registry values: N2998)
1901/0-S $5 MS65 NGC. FS-301, formerly FS-006. The upper right curve of the underdigit 0 is evident near the peak of the second 1 in the date. Well preserved and lustrous with lime-gold color. One of the final overdate varieties caused by punching a date logotype into an earlier dated die. Later overdates (from 1909, 1918, and 1942) were hubbing errors. Census: 26 in 65, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1902-S $5 MS63 PCGS. Rich yellow-gold surfaces have hints of iridescent toning on this older certified piece, housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N991)
1902-S $5 MS64 NGC. Sharply struck and highly lustrous with frosty yellow-gold surfaces and excellent eye appeal. Like many Liberty half eagles, this common date is elusive in higher Mint State grades.(Registry values: N1793)
1902-S $5 MS64 NGC. Sharply struck and exceptionally pleasing, this Choice Mint State piece has excellent surfaces with hints of green and pink over brilliant yellow luster.(Registry values: N1793)
1903 $5 MS64 NGC. Exquisitely detailed on the central devices with satiny luster on the obverse and a more brilliant appearance on the reverse. Color varies from pale straw-gold to butter-yellow and peach.(Registry values: N1793)
1904 $5 MS65 PCGS. Crisply detailed with bold yellow-gold luster that shows apricot elements in the fields. It offers great eye appeal, even by Gem standards, with only a few minuscule marks away from the major design elements. Housed in a prior-generation holder. Population: 54 in 65, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Liberty Half Eagles
1867 $5 PR66 Cameo PCGS. A mere 50 proof half eagles were minted in 1867, and it is probably the case that some of those coins were later melted after contemporary sales opportunities dried up. Perhaps as many as half of the mintage was later melted, leaving a distribution of only 25 coins. From that smaller distribution, we estimate that just 10 to 12 proofs still exist today. The present Premium Gem was recently offered in the May 2008 Stack's auction, and earlier in the same firm's Amon Carter sale held in January 1984.
The fields are deeply mirrored around brilliant, satiny yellow-gold devices with hints of pale orange toning on both sides. A minute field spot between stars 2 and 3 serves to establish the provenance of this piece.

1889 $5 PR65 Cameo NGC. The mintage of proof half eagles in 1889 (45 pieces) dropped sharply from the previous five years. Fewer than 20 specimens are thought to survive (Walter Breen, 1989; Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 2006). These estimates are in line with NGC/PCGS population figures that show 22 certified coins. Breen writes that the 1889 proof five dollar is "... subject to great date collector pressure as comparatively few of the 7,520 business strikes survive."
Uniform brass-gold coloration adorns each side of this charming Gem Cameo, and an exacting strike leaves bold definition on the devices, all of which display stunning contrast with the mirrored fields. A few unobtrusive marks likely prevent an even finer numerical grade. A field tick to the lower right of star 3 and a couple of more between stars 12 and 13 are mentioned strictly for pedigree purposes. This coin's captivating eye appeal will elicit serious interest among aficionados of proof gold. Census: 3 in 65 Cameo, 1 finer (9/09).(Registry values: P4)

1902 $5 PR53 PCGS. CAC. A lightly circulated example of this early brilliant-era proof Liberty half eagle issue, one of 162 specimens struck. Ample reflectivity graces the yellow-gold protected areas, and despite appreciable wear, the bold design definition leaves little doubt as to this coin's original status. Population: 2 in 53, 29 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)
1903 $5 PR58 NGC. Proof gold coins are rare and highly desirable in all grades, even when they have seen a little circulation like this example. It was often the case that owners of such coins spent them in a time of need. This piece has strong field reflectivity with excellent design sharpness. Contact marks and verdigris remain from its brief period in commerce.(Registry values: P1)
1904 $5 PR67 Cameo NGC. This Superb Gem proof has stunning mirrored fields and impressive design definition, with bright and pristine surfaces. Both sides are light yellow with lustrous lemon-yellow devices. The devices retain considerable frost, although a polished area around the eye is typical of nearly all survivors. Despite certification of a single finer piece, the present example is undoubtedly one of the finest that any collector could hope to acquire.
Just 136 proof half eagles were coined in 1904. Survival estimates fall in the range of 50 to 75 coins, and less than half of that number have strong cameo contrast. At the beginning of the 20th century, Mint officers concluded that cameo contrast on proof coins was undesirable, much the opposite of numismatic opinion today. As a result of their beliefs at the time, few proof coins showed any contrast, and such cameo proofs are rare and highly desirable today. For proof half eagle issues of 1902 through 1907, NGC and PCGS combined have certified 361 normal proofs, 203 Cameo proofs, and exactly one Ultra Cameo proof. Regarding the 1904 issue, Garrett and Guth comment, "Most of the coins seen are deeply mirrored, and they lack the frosted devices seen on most of the examples struck before 1902. Although a few superb coins are known, most of the coins grade PF-64 at best." The average NGC and PCGS certified grade is just 63.4. Studies for other denominations would undoubtedly yield similar results.
Many important collections include an example of this proof half eagle issue, but almost invariably in much lower grade than the present piece. The Smithsonian Institution has two examples, PR64 Cameo and PR63 Cameo. Harry Bass owned a coin that PCGS certified as PR65. The Eliasberg coin is similarly graded. The Norweb, Pittman, and Garrett coins are each about PR64, and the Trompeter Collection coin graded PR63. Census: 4 in 67 Cameo, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P1)

Indian Half Eagles
1908 $5 MS64 NGC. CAC. A satiny and unblemished near-Gem that has a pleasing strike within the headdress. Bela Lyon Pratt's half eagle and quarter eagle designs bore IN GOD WE TRUST from the beginning, a lesson learned from the controversy over Saint-Gauden's eagle and double eagle introduced the year before.(Registry values: N2998)
1908-D $5 MS63 NGC. Brilliant rose-gold surfaces enhance the sharp design motifs of this attractive first-year piece. At first glance, the appearance suggests a higher grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1908-S $5 MS65 PCGS. The half eagles of 1908 coined in San Francisco were only of the new Bela Pratt Indian Head design, while Philadelphia produced both types of half eagles, including the Liberty Head. Perhaps San Francisco's schedule was busier given that 1908-S represented another end of an era, Philadelphia's 115-year-old monopoly on copper coinage. San Francisco managed to coin adequate supplies both of 1908-S Indian cents and 1908-S Indian half eagles (one series outgoing, the other incoming), but today both are scarce in Gem condition. Famous collector Virgil Brand is said to be responsible for a hoard of Gem 1908-S half eagles. Both services combined have certified somewhat more than five dozen examples in MS65, and specimens exist up to MS68.
The issue clearly has excellent production values overall, and this piece is a wonderful representative. The orange-gold surfaces boast sparkling, frosty luster, with the Indian's cheek abrasion-free and lots of eye appeal throughout. Population: 45 in 65, 21 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)

1909 $5 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Faint pink patina graces the wheat-gold surfaces of this brilliant and satiny half eagle. Both sides are fully lustrous and sharply detailed, increasing its eye appeal and desirability. The 1909 is a plentiful date that is often chosen for type collections, although the date is usually found in lower grades. PCGS has only certified 91 finer examples (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1909-D $5 MS64 NGC. CAC. A frosty and highly lustrous piece, this Choice Mint State example has brilliant yellow-gold luster with pristine surfaces. NGC has only certified 64 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1909-O $5 XF40 PCGS. Certified in an old-style green-label holder, this key-date coin holds many charms, among them even, moderate wear with few abrasions. Most certified examples range from AU to Choice AU, so this piece is interesting to examine how the wear affects the devices. The color change is obvious on the cheek, the high points of the headdress, the area near the lower rim, and the eagle's highest points on the reverse, and minor buildup appears in some of the crevices. But significant appeal is present, and this coin should find a ready buyer with its good blend of quality and value. The mintmark is clear and bold on this piece, if a bit worn due to its exposed location near the rim.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-O $5 XF40 ICG. The 1909-O is the lowest mintage issue of any Bela Lyon Pratt design, and was the first New Orleans Mint half eagle struck since 1894. It was also the final gold issue, since the facility reverted to assay office status the same year. This is a moderately circulated and luminous tan-gold example with ample design detail. The mintmark is low relief but its narrow oval center is obvious.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-O $5 AU53 NGC. Dark yellow surfaces have deep olive patina on both sides of this important New Orleans product, surviving from a limited mintage. The strike is sharp with a complete mintmark. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth write that the 1909-O "has long been considered a key date and is always in feverish demand." We expect that feverish demand when this piece falls to the auctioneer's hammer.(Registry values: N2998)
1909-O $5 AU58 NGC. Several factors make the 1909-O half eagle one of the most desirable 20th century coins. It was struck during the final year of operation at the New Orleans Mint. It is the only New Orleans Mint issue that carries the Indian design. It is a low mintage issue from a production of only 34,200 coins. Mint State survivors are rare, making this a major condition rarity. Even AU examples are infrequently encountered.
This piece has satiny light yellow surfaces with trivial marks on each side. It is well-struck with a strong mintmark, despite a small mark across the top right of that tiny O. Overall, this important piece is pleasing and highly desirable.(Registry values: N2998)

1909-S $5 MS60 NGC. A desirable Mint State piece with dark patina over yellow-gold luster. Minor abrasions and faint scratches prevent a higher grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S $5 MS62 PCGS. An appealing, minimally abraded coin for the MS62 grade and a decidedly above-average example of this underrated S-mint Indian five. The central design definition is strong, and the yellow-orange luster is dusky but unmuted. PCGS has certified 42 finer representatives (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1910 $5 MS63 NGC. Light orange-gold surfaces show elements of yellow. Well struck overall, if soft on the necklace, and modestly abraded for the grade assigned.(Registry values: N1793)
1910-D $5 MS63 NGC. The 1910-D half eagle is a scarce one within the series context, yet survivors, when found, are usually well-made. Above the MS63 level, however, the number of survivors drops considerably. This Select piece boasts splendid antique-gold coloration with a few moderate ticks scattered about that preclude an even finer grade. The eye appeal is generous. Census: 95 in 63, 14 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1911 $5 MS64 NGC. Despite a generous mintage that approaches a million pieces, the 1911 half eagle is a borderline condition rarity in any state above the MS64 designation represented here. The luster is strong sun-yellow with glimpses of orange, and the strike is considerably above-average. Great all-around visual appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
1911 $5 MS64 PCGS. Issues such as the 1911 half eagle, while not scarce in an absolute sense, command substantial respect from collectors at the MS64 and finer levels. This near-Gem offers strong design definition and warm yellow-orange luster. A few mild abrasions on the reverse contribute to the grade. PCGS has certified 49 coins finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1911-D $5 AU50 PCGS. A lightly circulated representative of this eagerly pursued key date Indian quarter eagle. The mintmark is distinct, the devices offer pleasing detail, and the green-gold surfaces are problem-free.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-D $5 AU53 NGC. Well-defined with luminous yellow-gold surfaces. Light but distinct wear is present on each side, though more prominent on the minimally abraded obverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-S $5 MS61 NGC. Entirely original with bright yellow luster and considerable dark patina on both sides.(Registry values: N991)
1911-S $5 MS61 NGC. The 1911-S is scarcer in Uncirculated grades than its mintage suggests, since gold coins circulated in the West prior to World War I. This dusky gold example has plenty of luster and a few grade-appropriate marks on the field near the profile.(Registry values: N991)
1911-S $5 MS62 NGC. A splendid example of this popular issue. Deep greenish gold patina over brilliant yellow luster attests to the originality of this piece.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-S $5 MS62 PCGS. A dusky green-gold example that has satin surfaces and a few unimportant field marks. The mintmark is low relief but its outline is unmistakable. S-mint pieces are much scarcer in Mint State than the Philadelphia issues of the 1920s.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-S $5 MS62 PCGS. A wonderful example for the grade, this piece has brilliant and frosty yellow-gold luster with excellent surfaces. The accumulation of trivial surface marks prevents a higher grade, despite its outstanding eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
1912-S $5 MS60 NGC. Luminous gold-orange surfaces show considerable rose and violet alloy. Well struck with a number of light to moderate abrasions that combine to account for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $5 MS63 PCGS. Housed in a green-label PCGS holder, this Select Mint State 1914 half eagle has rich orange-gold luster with excellent design definition. Pale blue patina on the reverse adds to its desirability.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $5 MS64 NGC. Strong yellow-gold color with blushes of pink. This near-Gem is crisply defined and without abrasions in the main focal areas, though a few marks are present in the fields and hidden in the feathers on the headdress. Like other Indian five dollar issues, the 1914 is rare any finer; NGC has graded just 18 such pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1914-D $5 MS64 NGC. CAC. Brass-gold surfaces exhibit pleasing luster, and a well executed strike delivers sharp detail to the design features. Minute contact marks in the raised exposed fields of the reverse preclude Gem classification. This issue is available through near-Gem, but the population falls off drastically at the Gem level.(Registry values: N4719)
1914-D $5 MS64 PCGS. Like many of its fellows, the 1914-D half eagle is available for a price in grades through MS63 and even MS64 but is a condition rarity any finer. This near-Gem has much to recommend it, from the remarkably sharp design definition to the vibrant luster gracing the sun-gold surfaces. Small, scattered marks in the reverse fields partly account for the grade.(Registry values: N4719)
1914-D $5 MS65 NGC. From a small mintage of 247,000 pieces, the 1914-D Indian Head half eagle is an available mintmarked issue in grades up to MS65. The date is a condition rarity at the Gem level, and is prohibitively rare in higher grades. NGC has graded only 11 examples at the Gem level, with one piece finer; while PCGS has certified 12 specimens in MS65, with two finer (10/09).
The present coin is fully struck, with exquisite detail on all design elements, especially the headdress and eagle's feathers. The bright surfaces are attractively tinted with shades of deep reddish color. Overall visual appeal is extraordinary.(Registry values: N7079)

Early Eagles
1795 $10 13 Leaves--Scratched--NCS. AU Details. Breen-6830, Taraszka-5, BD-5, R.5. The obverse has 10 stars to the left, with the upper left star separated from the cap. The reverse has a bold die chip between the F and A. This scarce variety is seldom encountered, and examples are always in strong demand from a growing number of variety collectors.
While the surfaces are noticeably abraded, as they are on most early gold coins, the description that this piece is scratched seems harsh. Both sides have brilliant green-gold surfaces with considerable luster.(Registry values: P5)

1795 $10 13 Leaves--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. Breen-6830, Taraszka-5, BD-5, R.5. The Philadelphia Mint first struck ten dollar gold pieces in September of 1795. Five varieties are known for the date, including the BD-5 variety represented by the present coin. BD-5 is recognized by the position of the bust overlapping the 5 in the date, the 13 leaves on the palm branch, and the leaf distant from U in UNITED. The issue is the second rarest variety of the date, with an estimated surviving population of 35-45 pieces. The original mintage was probably in the 500 to 1,000 piece range.
The coin offered here is well, but not fully struck. Some slight softness is evident on the eagle's breast. Adjustment marks are present in the center of the obverse, most notably in the hair behind Liberty's ear, and there are also a few very shallow perpendicular marks on the cheek. The surfaces are lightly hairlined, with a few small abrasions on each side, none of particular note.(Registry values: P5)

1795 $10 9 Leaves--Mount Removed--NGC. XF Details. Breen-6831, Taraszka-3, BD-3, R.6. BD Obverse State d/Reverse State b. Only a single Nine Leaves reverse is known for the first-year 1795 gold eagles, and the subtype is accordingly in demand from variety specialists, type collectors, and those who pursue Guide Book varieties. Garrett and Guth had this to say (2006) concerning the issue:
The Bass-Dannreuther reference calls it "one of the most famous die varieties among all early gold coins--the king of the Small Eagle type." It also conflictingly claims that there are "20-22 pieces known" in the body text and "15 or so examples" in a footnote, but NGC and PCGS combined have certified 23 pieces in all grades, from which a few must be subtracted for likely duplication.
This newly certified NGC specimen at XF40 is the lowest certified at either service, providing a nice entry point for a coin that otherwise would likely be out of reach for many collectors. This piece has seen modest circulation that has left scattered abrasions, mostly minor, on the surfaces of each side. A couple of longer (but shallow) scrapes on the obverse appear, one in the left field and one through the lower curls. The reverse is largely free of singular abrasions, displaying the prominent die lump beneath the second leaf, a lump above the first T in STATES, and a small crack beneath the first A in AMERICA that characterize the die state. Some crumbling of the denticles appears at the rim out from the right (facing) wing tip. There are no visible adjustment marks on either side. The mount removal appears to be on the rim at 3 o'clock, and would not be visible if it were not for the new-style holder. The original surfaces, despite minor problems, display immense appeal, with orange-gold color overall that deepens somewhat in the protected areas around the devices.
This is a coin whose importance and historic interest, as well as numismatic appeal, can hardly be overstated, and alert numismatists will certainly recognize it as such.(Registry values: P6)
"This is an extremely scarce variety that was once thought to be limited to a surviving population of fewer than a dozen pieces (Akers called this 'the rarest of all eagles'). However, publicity in recent years has brought more specimens to the market and now, between PCGS and NGC, more than 20 examples have been certified. There have been approximately 20 auction appearances of this variety in the past dozen years, with a PCGS AU-58 coin taking top honors at $184,000 in 2005. Several pieces have been certified at the MS-63 level, but Harry Bass's very choice example may be the best known. The Smithsonian does not have an example of this major variety."

1797 $10 Large Eagle PCGS Genuine. Breen-6834, Taraszka-8, BD-2, High R.4. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an VF specimen that has been cleaned and has graffiti and scratches. Both sides show a number of scratches on the hairlined yellow-gold surfaces, with those in the left obverse field following a pattern and seemingly deliberate, if indecipherable. Moderately worn with a handful of rim bumps visible above the portrait of Liberty.(Registry values: P3, N3)
1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse PCGS Genuine. Breen-6838, Taraszka-17, BD-5, R.6. Less than 30 examples of this rare variety are known, and the present piece, although lightly cleaned, ranks among the finest. It retains full luster with satiny green-gold surfaces, and claims excellent eye appeal despite being cleaned. An important opportunity is presented to the specialist.(Registry values: P2, N2)
1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse AU50 PCGS. Breen-6839, Taraszka-13, BD-1, R.7. BD Obverse state b (early), Reverse state b (early). This is an attractive AU example of this incredibly rare variety. At the time the Bass-Dannreuther Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties was published, the authors estimated that only five to seven examples exist, although we are unable to determine if this is one of those pieces.
When Harry W. Bass, Jr. bought his gold example from New York coin dealer Lester Merkin in 1972, it was the first one that had come to his attention, the dies previously known only from the unique Judd-26 copper die trial piece. That piece shows a cancellation mark "X" on the reverse, apparently to prevent it from being gold-plated.
The diagnostics that Bass described for his example, reproduced in Bass-Dannreuther, are comprehensive enough that we reproduce them here verbatim:
The present example is in an earlier die state than the Bass example (pictured in both Bass-Dannreuther and the Bass Museum Sylloge). The obverse crack through star 8 is still quite wispy, barely seen from the rim to star 8, and it extends only slightly into the field. The crack from the rim through L is more pronounced and extends lightly through most of the cap, but not onto the face as the Bass coin. On the reverse, the small die crack through the CA and the talon appears in a slightly earlier state, although its small size makes comparison difficult in the Bass photos. The die crack from the second cloud to the right runs up through the O where it terminates just past the upper part of that letter, and there is no trace of a crack between OF; as such, this piece is clearly in an earlier reverse die state overall.
The orange-gold surfaces of this piece are highly attractive and still show considerable flash, with no mentionable adjustment marks and minimal contact, just light wear consistent with the grade. The only surface imperfections worthy of note are both on the reverse, a bit of planchet roughness at 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock. This piece would be attractive even if it were the common BD-7 1799 Small Stars variety, but as an example of the exceedingly rare BD-1, this coin poses an important opportunity for gold specialists that may not recur for many years.(Registry values: P2)

"OBV. Small stars, wide date, numerals spaced 1 7 9 9. Star 8 presents two points to cap, almost equidistant. Star 12 markedly double cut counter clockwise (distinctive). Point of start 9 touches Y under serif. Crack edge -- star 8 -- into field paralleling back of cap. Another, edge -- upright of L -- cap -- face behind eye. New obverse. REV. Berry centered under A. Leaf point touches I at center of base. A(M) clear of left wing feathers (distinctive). Rust lump between UN, top opening of N. Rust-like crack within C, skips to left side of A, through A, talon, stem end, tail feathers. Another, faint, edge between O F, through O, second cloud from right. Source: Merkin 2/72 #433."

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse MS61 NGC. Breen-6839, Taraszka-15, BD-3, High R.6. An early die state with a crack through the R of LIBERTY, but no evidence of another crack that is sometimes seen near the L. Only about 20 examples of this rare variety are known, and the present piece easily ranks high in the condition census. Harry Bass only owned one example of this variety, comparable to the present piece that ranks among the best available.
Both sides have rich green-gold color with entirely prooflike fields and noticeable cameo contrast. Minute raised die polishing or lapping lines can be seen in the fields on both sides. The surfaces are pristine, with few tiny blemishes but none of any significance.(Registry values: P2)

1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse MS62 NGC. Breen-6839, Taraszka-15, BD-3, High R.6. A second Mint State example of the rare BD-3 variety. This piece is a later die state with cracks through the B and L of LIBERTY. Harry Bass only found one example of this variety in all his years of collecting, and now we have two examples in a single sale!
This piece is possibly the finest known example, comparing quite favorably to the Bass coin that is on loan to the ANA museum. Prooflike greenish-gold surfaces have traces of orange patina near the borders. Both sides are moderately abraded, consistent with the grade.(Registry values: P2)

1801 $10 AU55 NGC. Breen-6843, Taraszka-24, BD-1, R.5. The BD-1 variety is far rarer than the relatively available BD-2, the only other variant for 1801 eagles. The BD-1 obverse is a new die for the year, but the hardy reverse is a carryover from the two previous years, used first for the R.3 1799 BD-10, then for the single-variety BD-1 of 1800. In its final use in 1801, the reverse die was likely already cracked from the previous year's use and it failed in 1801, resulting in this rare variety. Although the mintage of eagles in 1801 is numbered at 44,344 pieces (although some were likely dated 1800), Bass-Dannreuther estimate that 2,500 to 4,000 of the BD-1 were produced, of which some 40 to 50 survive today. On the obverse star 1 has two points facing the lowest curl, and star 8 has one point facing toward the cap. L is close to the cap, and Y is close to star 9. A die crack runs from the edge between 0 and 1 of the date upward to the bust. Another crack runs from star 13 up through the throat and jawline. On the reverse, denticle clashes show above STAT, and a leaf tip touches the right bottom serif of I in AMERICA.
This lightly circulated example shows yellow-gold surfaces that retain much luster and are free of visible adjustment marks. Despite a number of tiny marks through LIBERTY at the top of the obverse, this elusive piece displays much allure and would be an exciting acquisition for the many specialists pursuing rare early gold.(Registry values: P1)

1803 $10 Small Stars Reverse--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. VF Details. Breen 6844, BD-3, R.4. Six varieties of ten dollar gold coins were minted in 1803. The BD-3 variety, characterized by the placement of the foot of the E in STATES above a cloud space, is the most available of the six varieties. An estimated 150-200 examples are known today, from an estimated mintage of 7,500-10,000 coins. The present coin retains most of the original detail on all design elements. The surfaces are only lightly abraded, if somewhat muted and slightly granular. Eye appeal is strong for the grade.(Registry values: P2)
1804 $10 Crosslet 4 AU58 NGC. Breen-6847, Taraszka-31, BD-1, High R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Obverse State b, Reverse State b, with faint peripheral die cracks on each side. This is the only 1804-dated die pair used to strike eagles for circulation, and 1804 is the last year that appears on early eagles--but it does not follow that the 1804 Crosslet 4 eagle was the last variety struck. As Bass and Dannreuther recount in Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, "Actually, [1804] is the last date in the series but not the final coin struck for the circulation series. The reverse used for this coin ... was used after striking this date/variety for the very rare 1-E [die] combination of 1803, BD-6 ... So the mintage totals for this year, already a scant 3,757, undoubtedly include some coins dated 1803!"
Bass and Dannreuther also highlight the Plain 4 version of the 1804 eagle, struck as proofs in 1834 and possibly 1835 for inclusion in diplomatic presentation sets, though they are careful to distinguish those later proofs from their circulating Crosslet 4 counterparts. As for the Crosslet 4 BD-1 pieces, the authors estimate 80 to 100 pieces surviving, many of them impaired, which makes the issue very scarce in any state. Viewed in that context, a near-Mint coin such as the present piece becomes even more impressive. Radiant yellow-gold surfaces are lightly abraded overall with only trifling wear at the high points, though striking weakness is also present there and at several of the obverse stars. Adjustment marks are noted on Liberty's cap. Census: 14 in 58, 29 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P4)

Liberty Eagles
1838 $10 XF40 ANACS. An attractive XF example of this first-year Coronet eagle issue, now increasingly collected alongside the 1839 Large Letters variant as a distinct subtype. The moderately abraded yellow-orange surfaces retain considerable radiance despite the distinct wear visible on the softly struck devices. Housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: N2998)
1846/5-O $10 AU58 PCGS. The mintage of 1846-O eagles was only 81,780 pieces of both varieties, and both types are rare in grades close to Mint State, the overdate more so. Whether overdate or die anomaly, the variety is a popular Guide Book listing that is widely collected. This piece has lots of luster and flash on the orange-gold surfaces, with only a few light, scattered, minor marks. Population: 2 in 58, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1848-O $10 AU53 PCGS. CAC. The 1848-O ten dollar becomes scarce to rare in About Uncirculated and exceeding rare in Mint State. PCGS and NGC have certified fewer than 15 Uncirculated specimens, some of which are likely resubmissions. Traces of luster show in the recessed areas of the yellow-gold surfaces on this AU53 example. Nicely defined except for weakness in the star centers. Scattered small marks do not detract.(Registry values: N2998)
1850 $10 Small Date PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned and has reverse edge damage. Though the yellow-gold surfaces are over-bright and hairlined, the strong detail on the portrait redeems the eye appeal.
1853 $10 AU58 NGC. Still-lustrous straw-gold surfaces show occasional hints of brighter yellow and wheat. Crisply detailed with only modest friction across the high points.(Registry values: N991)
1853 $10 MS64 PCGS. A substantial production of 201,253 eagles was accomplished at the Philadelphia mint in 1853. The issue is one of the more available No Motto eagles in circulated grades, and lower Mint State examples are not too difficult to locate. The situation changes dramatically at the Choice Uncirculated level, where only four specimens have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined (10/09). The present coin would certainly be a candidate for any Condition Census compiled for the issue, as no examples are known in higher grades.
This lovely Near-Mint type coin is sharply struck, with strongly impressed devices and excellent mint luster. The surfaces are enhanced by an even reddish patina, with a subtle mixture of lilac on each side. Overall visual appeal is outstanding.(Registry values: N7079)

1856-O $10 XF45 ANACS. Bright reddish-gold surfaces exhibit well defined design features. Light surface and rim marks are consistent with a coin having seen some circulation.(Registry values: N1793)
1856-O $10 AU55 NGC. The mintage of the 1856-O eagle was 14,500 coins, and most of those served their intended purpose in commerce. Today, typical survivors are apt to be VF to XF. Coins in the AU grades are scarce, and Mint State pieces are very rare. This Choice AU piece has light greenish color, with ample luster present. The surfaces have minor marks, but none of any consequence. Census: 26 in 55, 21 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1857-S $10 AU53 NGC. NGC and PCGS have graded a little over 100 specimens of the 1857-S ten dollar, most in VF and XF levels of preservation. Mint State examples are rare. Honey-gold surfaces exhibit well struck design elements on this AU53 specimen. Both sides are minimally abraded. Census: 7 in 53, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1858-S $10 AU55 NGC. Bright luster connects many of the obverse stars, and the reverse border has an unbroken band of peripheral luster. Small scattered marks are inevitable for the grade, but none singularly distract. The 1854-S and 1856-S are the only relatively available San Francisco No Motto issues. The 1858-S is rare regardless of grade. Only 11,800 pieces were struck.(Registry values: N4719)
1859-S $10 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Unc Details. Neither NGC nor PCGS has certified a Mint State example of the 1859-S eagle (10/09), yet as this representative proves, the issue (original mintage 7,000 pieces) does exist with Uncirculated-level details. Though its yellow-orange luster is muted by a past cleaning, it is nonetheless one of the most impressive survivors to come on the market in recent memory. The central definition is extraordinarily sharp, and though a number of hairlines are present in the fields, there are relatively few abrasions of any significance. A remarkable and thought-provoking coin.(Registry values: N7079)
1861 $10 AU50 ANACS. Rounded bun subtype. Moderately reflective despite the distinct wear on the devices and the wispy abrasions found in the yellow-gold fields. A series of small reed marks can be found above the olive branch. Housed in a small-format ANACS holder.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $10 AU55 NGC. CAC. Dusky gold-orange surfaces retain considerable luster through modest wear and scattered pinpoint marks. Considerable eye appeal for this Civil War-era issue.(Registry values: N991)
1865 $10 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. Lightly abraded violet and orange-gold surfaces show scattered hairlines from a past cleaning. Still, this slightly glossy example retains a degree of eye appeal. One of fewer than 4,000 business strikes produced.(Registry values: N2998)
1865 $10 --Altered Surfaces--ANACS. AU50 Details. The 1865 eagle is a major rarity in the series, and it is almost always found well circulated--when it is found at all. This piece has light yellow surfaces, the result of cleaning, and both sides have myriad abrasions, especially in the fields. However, it has exceptional design definition, arguably finer than the details grade that ANACS assigned.(Registry values: N4719)
1866 $10 AU53 NGC. The With Motto variety, like all Philadelphia tens of the year. The yellow-gold surfaces are only modestly worn, and both sides retain considerable luster, particularly the flashy reverse. A series of abrasions just to the right of Liberty's neck overshadows the scattered marks present elsewhere. Census: 7 in 53, 22 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1874-CC $10 VF30 PCGS. Among early Carson City eagles, the 1874-CC with a mintage of 16,767 pieces is more plentiful than most others. However, it is still a challenging issue regardless of the grade. This moderately worn Choice VF example is attractive with only trivial abrasions on each side.(Registry values: N991)
1875-CC $10 XF40 PCGS. This low-mintage date is relatively rare in all grades, and is virtually unobtainable in Mint State. The peach-gold surfaces of this XF specimen are tinted with red, slightly more so on the reverse. The design elements exhibit nice detail considering that it is known for its weak strike. The expected light circulation marks are scattered over each side, but none are worthy of individual mention. Population: 16 in 40, 30 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1877-S $10 XF45 PCGS. Just 17,000 examples were minted, and this Choice XF survivor is housed in a green label holder. It is typical of those that still exist today. The luster and detail suggest an AU grade, while the surfaces have a few noticeable marks, resulting in the grade that PCGS assigned.(Registry values: N991)
1878 $10 MS61 PCGS. The 1878 is the missing link between the low mintage Philadelphia issues of 1862 to 1877, and the relatively high mintage Philly issues of 1879 to 1883. This is a sharply struck and moderately prooflike example with suitable luster and an abraded obverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1879 $10 MS64 PCGS. This sharply struck near-Gem is predominantly orange-gold, although the borders offer lime-green patina. Lustrous and attractively preserved. While AU55 to MS62 examples are obtained with little effort, Choice Liberty eagles from the 1870s are rarely encountered. Population: 5 in 64, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1879-S $10 MS61 PCGS. Frosty and sharply struck, this Mint State 1879-S eagle has brilliant yellow surfaces with darker olive patina on both sides. A generous mintage of 224,000 coins does little to explain the importance of the date in Mint State grades. Population: 24 in 61, 17 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1880 $10 MS63 NGC. Sharply struck with rather pleasing luster. Yellow-gold surfaces reveal light grade-defining marks. The certified population drops dramatically at the MS63 level, and no pieces have been graded above MS64. Census: 29 in 63, 12 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1880-O $10 AU55 NGC. A mere 9,200 pieces were struck for this New Orleans issue, produced during a time when the facility was principally devoted to silver dollar coinage. This sun-gold Choice AU example has ample peripheral luster and only one individually noticeable mark, between the TE in TEN. Census: 31 in 55, 40 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1881-O $10 AU50 PCGS. Since the New Orleans Mint concentrated on silver dollar production, the 1881-O has a tiny mintage of only 8,350 pieces. This sharply struck yellow-gold example displays minor wear on the wingtips and the expected number of individually unimportant marks. Population: 13 in 50, 28 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1881-S $10 MS63 PCGS. MS63 is the finest grade collectors will be able to locate, as PCGS and NGC have, to date, seen none finer. Peach-gold surfaces are imbued with traces of light green and give off pleasing luster. The design elements are uniformly struck throughout. Scattered minute marks account for the grade. Population: 26 in 63, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1882 $10 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Philadelphia Mint gold eagle production reached new heights in the early 1880s. In 1882 the total mintage was more than 2.3 million coins. However, Choice or Gem Mint State examples are conditionally rare. This piece has brilliant and highly lustrous orange-gold surfaces with full mint frost. Population: 31 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1883 $10 MS63 PCGS. The 1883 has a much lower mintage than its 1880 to 1882 Philadelphia predecessors, and it comes as no surprise that it is very scarce at the Select level. This well struck representative has unencumbered luster and the expected faint field grazes. Population: 64 in 63, 4 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1884 $10 MS64 PCGS. CAC. From an initial mintage of 76,800 pieces, the 1884 Liberty Head eagle is an available date because of its presence in European hoards. While the date is easy to locate in lower Mint State grades, the issue is quite rare at the Choice level, and only a single specimen has been certified as a Gem by either of the leading grading services. The present coin is sharply struck, with fine detail on all devices. The surfaces are lustrous, with pleasing orange-gold centers and a touch of crimson at the borders. A few scattered handling marks define the grade. Population: 5 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1884-CC $10 AU53 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1884-CC Liberty Head eagle is a scarce issue from a tiny mintage of just 9,925 pieces. The date is prized by Western gold specialists, and most examples seen are in VF to XF grades. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 125 to 150 specimens in all grades. The present coin is lightly struck, as almost always seen on this issue. Only light, even wear is present on the attractive reddish-gold surfaces. Handling marks are minimal for the grade. Census: 27 in 53, 82 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1887 $10 MS62 PCGS. A few abrasions on each side, especially on Liberty's cheek, keep the grade down on this pleasing Mint State example. Traces of apricot toning adhere to the surfaces of this lustrous eagle. Only 53,680 pieces were minted, and examples remain difficult to locate. During the same year, the 1887 eagle's little brother, the half eagle, was only minted in proof.(Registry values: N2998)
1887-S $10 MS63 NGC. Light pinkish-gold surfaces and frosty luster characterize this Select Mint State piece. It has excellent eye appeal with entirely trivial, grade-consistent marks. Census: 48 in 63, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1888-O $10 MS61 PCGS. An important rarity in the gold eagle series, the 1888-O was minted to a total of only 21,335 coins. Today, any example is scarce, and Mint State pieces are elusive. Housed in a green label holder, this piece exhibits frosty yellow-gold luster with excellent surfaces for the grade.(Registry values: N991)
1888-S $10 MS63 NGC. MS63 is the highest grade at which this issue can be realistically collected. NGC and PCGS combined have seen eight coins finer. This sharply struck honey-gold piece displays nearly full luster and reveals just a few minute grade-defining marks. Census: 53 in 63, 5 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1890-CC $10 AU58 PCGS. A highly lustrous near-Mint representative, this eagle has nearly full yellow brilliance with exceptional mint frost. Only a trace of high point rub prevents a higher grade, which would likely be MS62 or MS63. A splendid example.(Registry values: N991)
1890-CC $10 MS62 NGC. Only 17,500 ten dollar pieces were coined at the Carson City Mint in 1890. The issue becomes very difficult to locate above the MS62 level, the grade of the current offering. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit sharply struck design features and present a nearly unbroken luster flow. Grade-limiting small marks are noted on each side. Census: 39 in 62, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1891 $10 MS63 NGC. A rather scarce issue from a relatively low mintage of only 91,868 pieces, this 1891 ten is brilliant with frosty yellow luster. The fields have moderate abrasions that are expected for the grade. Both sides have olive and lemon toning to enhance the eye appeal. Census: 35 in 63, 3 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1891-CC $10 MS60 PCGS. Decisively struck with no trace of wear on the devices or in the flashy yellow-gold fields. Each side shows moderate abrasions, though the eye appeal makes an MS60 designation seem unduly harsh. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N991)
1891-CC $10 MS61 NGC. Strongly struck with bright straw-gold luster. An attractive Carson City eagle despite the numerous light to moderate marks that define the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1891-CC $10 MS61 NGC. Boldly struck and lustrous with a slender mark near star 5 and a hint of struck-in grease on the reverse. The Carson City mintmark is elusive on Uncirculated Liberty eagles, although a small quantity of '91-CC tens were apparently exported to Europe and held as bank reserved.(Registry values: N1793)
1891-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. CAC. FS-501. A substantial mintage of 103,732 Liberty Head ten dollar gold pieces was achieved at the Carson City Mint in 1891. The issue is the most available eagle from this popular mint. The present coin shows a repunched mintmark, the first punch placed too far to the right. An exemplary strike is complemented by strong luster and attractive orange-gold color. The surfaces show a minimum of handling marks for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1891-CC $10 MS62 NGC. An unusual episode took place in 1891, as the Carson City Mint struck more gold eagles than the Philadelphia Mint struck. Therefore, the 1891-CC eagle is a great coin for the type collector who merely desires a single specimen, or date collector who seeks a complete set.(Registry values: N1793)
1891-CC $10 MS63 PCGS. This Carson City type coin has a mintage of 103,732 pieces, and although examples are located with little difficulty in XF through MS62, Select coins provide a significantly greater challenge. Lustrous and sharply struck with good eye appeal. Wispy field marks define the numerical grade level of the piece.
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2006), lot 2389, which realized $5,462.50.(Registry values: N2998)
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2006), lot 2389, which realized $5,462.50.(Registry values: N2998)
1892-S $10 MS62 PCGS. Peach and olive tints frequent this lustrous and decisively struck example. Minor marks on the left obverse will deter few buyers. A better date unavailable from PCGS above the MS63 level.(Registry values: N1793)
1893 $10 MS64 PCGS. Housed in a green-label holder, this conditionally rare eagle is highly lustrous with brilliant yellow frost. PCGS has only certified two finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1893-O $10 MS62 NGC. Crisply detailed for this New Orleans issue with warm yellow-gold luster. Light abrasions overall, many of them wispy, and an alloy spot between the ribbon and the eagle's head. NGC has graded 11 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1895 $10 MS64 PCGS. A splendid near-Gem, this eagle has brilliant orange-gold surfaces with full frosty mint luster. The surfaces are exceptional, and the presentation is highly appealing. Population: 45 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1896-S $10 MS62 PCGS. Excellent central design definition with an above-average impression on the peripheral elements as well. Vibrantly lustrous yellow-orange surfaces show a number of scattered abrasions, though only a small cluster of marks between stars 3 and 4 on the obverse deserves particular comment. Population: 43 in 62, 6 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1898 $10 MS65 NGC. Strong and satiny luster dominates this wheat-gold Gem. The central devices are boldly executed, though a degree of softness affects the obverse stars. The cheek is smooth, as is the rest of the coin, though there is a barely imperceptible abrasion that travels between stars 12 and 13. Census: 28 in 65, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1900 $10 MS66 NGC. A simply stunning survivor from this turn-of-the-century ten dollar issue, one of five MS66 coins in the combined certified population with none finer (10/09). The strike is almost uniformly sharp, with only trifling softness visible on a handful of the obverse stars. While both sides show a handful of small marks and luster grazes, aside from two such minor flaws in the right obverse field, these are unobtrusive. Strong, slightly satiny apricot-gold luster completes the remarkable eye appeal. An ideal selection for the high-end date collector.(Registry values: N4719)
1901-S $10 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Breen-7075. The date is nicely repunched. The reverse border is lightly strike doubled due to a slightly loose reverse die, misinterpreted as die doubling under Breen-7074. Well struck and lustrous with butter-gold toning. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1901-S $10 MS64 NGC. A common date in the Liberty eagle series, ideal for type collectors. This example is fully brilliant, lustrous, and sharply detailed.(Registry values: N1793)
1901-S $10 MS64 PCGS. Breen-7075. The base of the first 1 in the date is clearly repunched. Dynamic luster and bright sun-gold surfaces demonstrate the eye appeal. The reverse is beautifully preserved. Encased in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1902 $10 MS63 PCGS. Although its 20th century vintage and Philadelphia origins imply the 1902 is common, that is incorrect given its low mintage of 82,400 pieces. This is a lustrous butter-gold example with no distracting marks. The strike is good although several stars lack fully defined centrils.(Registry values: N1793)
1904 $10 MS63 NGC. Fresh yellow and orange-gold luster lends this minimally abraded Select coin considerable eye appeal. Strongly struck at the centers, though the obverse stars are comparatively soft.(Registry values: N1793)
1904-O $10 MS63 PCGS. Only one additional gold eagle was issued from the New Orleans Mint in 1906, during the waning days of that Mint. A trifle subdued, yet free of numerous abrasions, this is an attractive Select quality example with a sharp strike. Scarce at the present grade level, and a major condition rarity any finer. Population: 63 in 63, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1905 $10 MS64 PCGS. A lemon-gold near-Gem of this lower mintage Philadelphia issue. Cartwheel luster sweeps minimally abraded fields and devices. In MS64, the 1905 is magnitudes scarcer than the 1901-S, yet is similarly priced. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 74 in 64, 22 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1906-D $10 MS64 PCGS. The 06 in the date is lightly repunched. An impressive near-Gem with unmarked khaki-gold fields and a few faint marks on the portrait. Although priced similarly to common dates such as the 1901-S, the '06-D is relatively scarce at the MS64 level, and rare any finer.(Registry values: N1793)
1906-S $10 MS64 NGC. The scarcity of this issue is greater than the mintage of nearly a half-million coins would lead one to surmise, and in the MS64 grade of this coin, it is a decidedly rare item. The flashy apricot-gold surfaces on this near-Gem offer plenty of pizzazz, a combination of radiant luster, a bold strike, and excellent eye appeal. Census: 6 in 64, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1907-D $10 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1907-D Liberty Head is the last D-mint of the series, as the 1908-D gold issues were all of the new designs by Pratt and Saint-Gaudens. Despite the mintage surpassing 1 million pieces, the issue is scarce in MS64 and finer. This near-Gem, one of the finest graded at PCGS, boasts flashy orange-gold surfaces with lots of luster and is certified in an old PCGS green-label holder. Population: 43 in 64, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
Proof Liberty Eagles
1883 $10 Proof PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a PR60 specimen that has altered surfaces. What PCGS refers to as "damage" is a degree of rim crimping along the lower reverse, but the chromelike gleam of the slightly hazy yellow-gold surfaces is a more significant concern. Still, this is one of just 40 specimens coined.(Registry values: P3, N3)
1895 $10 PR55 NGC. Ten dollar proofs saw a relatively low mintage of 56 pieces in 1895, a fairly large number of which have survived to the present day. Reflectivity in the fields of this lightly circulated PR55 example present good contrast with the moderately frosted motifs. Excellent definition is apparent on the design features. Distributed marks occur over both sides.(Registry values: P1)
1905 $10 PR58 NGC. Throughout the years, few gold proof were struck, and even fewer have survived. Because of their large face value, they were often spent where they remained in circulation until they were lost destroyed, or recovered by collectors. The present piece is an example that spent a moment in circulation, now with only a trace of wear. Brilliant green-gold surfaces have mirrored fields and bold design motifs.(Registry values: N1)
Indian Eagles
1907 $10 No Periods MS62 NGC. A yellow gold Indian eagle that displays sweeping luster and a good strike. The chin and obverse rim have inconspicuous marks, and the upper left obverse field has a small spot.(Registry values: N991)
1907 $10 No Periods MS62 PCGS. This Mint State No Periods ten is an excellent candidate for a type collector, with frosty lemon-yellow luster and darker patina.(Registry values: N991)
1907 $10 No Periods MS63 NGC. Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit well struck design elements. Scattered inoffensive marks limit the grade. Mint Engraver Charles Barber removed the triangular stops or periods to achieve suitability for high-speed production. Many were saved by collectors, making them relatively available today through MS65.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $10 Motto MS61 PCGS. Attractive peach-gold patina adorns both sides, and well struck save for the usual softness on the eagle's shoulder. Lustrous surfaces reveal a scattering of small marks. Generally nice eye appeal for the designated grade.(Registry values: N991)
1908 $10 Motto MS63 PCGS. This green-gold Select Indian eagle has vibrant luster and an attentive strike. Minor marks are present but are of little consequence. E PLURIBUS UNUM and IN GOD WE TRUST are in opposite places on the Indian ten relative to its half eagle and quarter eagle counterparts.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $10 Motto MS64 PCGS. The prominent yellow-gold luster of this sharply struck Choice example grants it remarkable eye appeal. Strong quality for the initial Philadelphia Motto Saint-Gaudens ten dollar issue. The date is available for a price in MS64, and the discerning and patient collector can identify attractive representatives such as the present piece.(Registry values: N2998)
1908 $10 Motto MS66 NGC. The 1908 Motto ten dollar, from a mintage of 341,370 circulation strikes, is a plentiful issue. Examples can be located with little difficulty through the near-Gem level of preservation, while MS65s, though scarce, are still obtainable with some patience. The Premium Gem population decreases to the point of being quite challenging, and higher-grade specimens are seldom encountered.
This impeccably preserved Premium Gem is fully brilliant with wonderful yellow-gold luster tinted with hints of light green. All of the individual design elements are boldly detailed. An excellent choice for a high-grade type collection. Census: 38 in 66, 7 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)

1908-D $10 Motto MS65 NGC. Both the 1908-D With Motto and No Motto eagles are difficult to obtain at the Gem level, although examples of each appear from time to time in the numismatic marketplace. This Gem With Motto ten is an example of an issue that Garrett and Guth rank as "12th rarest of the 32 issues in that lofty grade." Interestingly, NGC has certified only three examples in MS65, but it has graded 11 pieces finer (10/09). This is a flashy Gem with tons of eye appeal and a two-toned appearance, golden-orange predominating with lilac accents on Liberty's cheek. As expected of the grade, contact is minor and undistracting.(Registry values: N7079)
1908-S $10 AU58 ANACS. Faintly abraded overall with considerable yellow-gold luster remaining in the fields. Light but distinct wear is present at the central high points.(Registry values: N991)
1908-S $10 AU58 PCGS. CAC. A low mintage of 59,850 pieces identifies the 1908-S as a better date, especially in Mint State. This attractive slider has a hint of friction on the cheekbone, but the fields display unbroken luster.(Registry values: N991)
1910 $10 MS63 PCGS. Upon first glance, this lustrous apricot-gold representative appears to merit a higher grade, since the cheek and fields are generally smooth. Subtle marks near the E in UNITED and the obverse rim at 7 o'clock are all that prevent an MS64 or higher assessment.(Registry values: N1793)
1910 $10 MS64 PCGS. A lovely Indian ten with frosty luster and honey-gold surfaces. This piece is only a few trivial surface marks away from full Gem. PCGS has only certified 77 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1910 $10 MS64 NGC. Apricot-gold surfaces are imbued with traces of mint-green, and great luster embraces both sides. Minute marks preclude Gem status.(Registry values: N1793)
1910-D $10 MS64 PCGS. Greenish-gold surfaces are splashed with whispers of lilac and display attractive luster. Moreover, the piece is sharply struck, including the date, stars, and peripheral reverse lettering, elements that are often weak on this issue, owing perhaps to die wear (see Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 2006, p. 386). There are no significant marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1910-D $10 MS65 PCGS. CAC. As the third most available ten dollar Indian, the 1910-D usually makes an outstanding type coin. This piece shows superior luster over the matte-like surfaces, coupled with enchanting peach-gold patina. The boldly struck, pristine surfaces show only a few superficial marks on the upper reverse.(Registry values: N2998)
1911 $10 MS64 NGC. Attractively detailed on the eagle's feathers and most of the portrait, even on the hair over Liberty's ear. Rich yellow-orange luster completes the eye appeal of this near-Gem.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-D $10 AU55 NGC. Faint yellow-gold and straw color with light but distinct wear on the eagle's wing and Liberty's hair. A few small abrasions at the upper cheek contribute to the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-D $10 AU58 NGC. The key to the Indian eagle series, a coin that Akers calls "one of the rarest 20th century U.S. gold coins irrespective of denomination." This attractive near-Mint State piece should certainly find a happy home in a fine collection. Only light rub divides this piece from Mint State, with antique-gold surfaces that display some smoky gray-gold coloration on the high points.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-S $10 AU58 NGC. The golden-tan surfaces of this near-Mint State eagle display ample luster and well defined motifs. A few minute circulation marks do not distract.(Registry values: N991)
1912 $10 MS64 NGC. A splendid near-Gem, this 1912 eagle has frosty and brilliant yellow-gold luster. Both sides are boldly detailed with excellent definition on the motifs. A total of 405,000 coins were minted, a rather substantial sum for the day. NGC has only graded 79 finer submissions (11/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1912 $10 MS65 NGC. The 1912 ten dollar is available with little difficulty through the near-Gem level. Gems are considerably more challenging, and higher grade pieces are elusive. Rich peach-gold patina is imbued with hints of lilac and light green, and a well executed strike imparts strong definition to the design features. A few grade-consistent marks are unworthy of individual mention. Census: 61 in 65, 18 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1913 $10 MS64 NGC. This near-Gem is awash with pleasing luster and has benefited from a solid strike. Attractive yellow-gold patination uniformly covers each side. A few minor contact marks prevent the attainment of Gem classification. Easily located through MS63 and very difficult to obtain higher than MS64.(Registry values: N1793)
1913-S $10 AU58 PCGS. CAC. From a mintage of just 66,000 pieces, the 1913-S is understandable elusive in all grades. Gold coins still circulated in the West in 1913 because of its hard money tradition, and most '13-S survivors are in XF to AU grades. The present lustrous canary-gold slider shows slight wear on the eagle's plumage, but marks of any size are difficult to find.(Registry values: N1793)
1913-S $10 AU58 PCGS. In their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth write that the 1913-S is "the undisputed key to the series." While 66,000 examples were coined, ranking the date as the sixth lowest mintage issue, the survival rate was quite low, placing additional emphasis on the 1913-S. This near-Mint example has deep honey-gold surfaces with frosty luster. Both sides have considerable olive patina on the design high points.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $10 MS63 NGC. Crisply impressed with bright canary-yellow luster. The obverse fields are slightly textured. A long, thin abrasion on Liberty's cheek contributes to the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $10 MS63 PCGS. Well-defined overall, if a trifle softly struck on the obverse devices. Warm yellow-gold luster is key to the eye appeal, and while a number of shallow abrasions are present on each side, these are not distracting, even in concert. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1915 $10 MS64 NGC. CAC. The mintage of 1915 eagles from Philadelphia is on the high side for the series, and enough specimens survive today that examples can be found, occasionally even in MS67. The emission is well-made, for which the present coin provides ample testimony. Generous luster radiates from yellow-gold surfaces that show a satin texture and remarkable lack of abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1915 $10 MS64 PCGS. A delightfully appealing near-Gem representative of this Philadelphia Saint-Gaudens ten dollar issue, strongly impressed on the outer devices with pleasing definition on the often-weak hair over Liberty's ear. Faintly textured sun-gold surfaces show elements of orange in the fields. PCGS has certified 48 finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1915 $10 MS65 NGC. Frosty luster enlivens both sides of this lovely Gem, each of which exhibits sharp design detail. Its yellow-gold surfaces are impeccably preserved. These attributes generate outstanding eye appeal, making the piece an excellent choice for a high grade type collection.(Registry values: N2998)
1926 $10 MS63 NGC. Boldly impressed with satiny yellow-gold luster. The fields are minimally abraded, but a mark running down Liberty's cheek precludes a higher designation.(Registry values: N991)
1926 $10 MS64 NGC. An outstanding near-Gem representative popular with type collectors. This frosty and fully brilliant gold piece has wisps of olive color and traces of pale pink patina.(Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS64 NGC. A fully brilliant and highly lustrous example, this 1932 ten has bright yellow mint frost with sharp design motifs.(Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS64 NGC. A delightful near-Gem with excellent surfaces and brilliant luster. This piece is sharply detailed and exhibits a full quota of mint frost.(Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS64 PCGS. The 1932 ten holds the distinction of the only collectible gold coin dated in the 1930s. This brilliant and highly lustrous piece has amazing iridescent toning over bright yellow surfaces.(Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS64 NGC. A shining wheat-gold and apricot-yellow near-Gem that has an unusually bold strike. Great all-around eye appeal, and if not for the few abrasions on the neck, a strong candidate for an even higher designation.(Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS65 PCGS. An extraordinary Gem 1932 eagle, this brilliant and fully lustrous piece exhibits beautiful yellow-gold surfaces, sharp design motifs, and pristine surfaces. Only a few trivial marks are evident, and they are fully consistent with the grade. PCGS has only certified 87 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1932 $10 MS67 NGC. From a huge mintage of 4.46 million pieces, the 1932 Indian Head eagle is the most available ten dollar gold coin of all dates from 1795-1933. The date is absolutely the first choice for type collectors, as the 1932 is easily located in all grades up to MS66, and even at that exalted level the issue can only be called scarce. However, at the Superb Gem level, the 1932 becomes extremely rare indeed. NGC has certified eight examples in MS67, with none finer; while PCGS has graded only a single coin in MS67, with none finer (10/09).
The present offering is an absolutely amazing specimen. The outstanding feature of the coin is its thick mint frost and the remarkable color that suffuses its surfaces. A spectacular mixture of reddish-gold and lilac tones are evenly displayed over both sides. The sharp strike complements the amazing color to produce a visual treat.(Registry values: N7079)

Liberty Double Eagles
1850 $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. Traces of luster still reside in the recesses despite the light cleaning, and the design elements are nicely defined. Distributed marks are noted on each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1850 $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. The light cleaning does not negate the luster occurring in the protected areas of the well defined design motifs. Bright yellow-gold surfaces reveal distributed minute marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1850 $20 AU53 NGC. The first obtainable double eagle issue, as the sole 1849 pattern known resides in the Smithsonian. This piece has appealing orange-gold coloration with a peppering of light abrasions consistent with minor circulation. This should prove to be a popular acquisition for type gold collectors as well as numismatic history buffs.(Registry values: N1793)
1850 $20 AU55 PCGS. The popular first-year 1850 double eagle, here represented by a Choice AU specimen with a few scattered abrasions and light wear, with some gray-gold haze on the high points. Seldom seen so fine, as the coins seem to have circulated extensively for the most part; the average certified survivor only grades Choice XF or thereabouts.(Registry values: N1793)
1850 $20 MS63 NGC. Production of the double eagle is tied to the enabling legislation for the gold dollar. The gold dollar was in trouble in the House, and Mint Director Robert Maskell Patterson opposed it as well. The objection was the tiny size of the gold dollar--it seemed to Patterson to be little more than play money and he deemed it unworthy of a great nation. However when the double eagle was added to the bill for the gold dollar, there was a new and powerful constituency for the larger coin. Bankers especially liked the twenty dollar gold piece as it could be used to store large quantities of money in a relatively small space. Thus, legislation for the gold dollar was passed on the coat tails of the double eagle's popularity.
Preparation of dies took considerable time in 1849 and only two patterns were struck with that date. One is in the Smithsonian today, and the whereabouts of the other piece are unknown. The 1849 twenty is obviously a pattern, as one can readily see when viewing the piece, which makes the 1850 the first year of regular issue for this highly collectible series. Relatively large numbers of 1850 twenties were set aside, no doubt as curiosities. Most survivors are XF-AU, and Uncirculated examples are rarely encountered. In fact, the combined numbers graded by both of the major services is 146 submissions, and almost half of those are MS62 (65 pieces). There is a sharp drop off at the MS63 level with only 17 pieces so graded, and a mere four coins finer (10/09).
This is an interesting piece that has a different look on each side. The obverse has semiprooflike fields, while the reverse is satiny throughout. The striking details are full on each side, and the only mentionable defect is a diagonal mark at the top and forefront of Liberty's neck.(Registry values: N7079)

1850-O $20 VF25 PCGS. The first year of the denomination, intended to provide a convenient return for the California gold discovered two years earlier. This pleasing VF coin has excellent surfaces for the grade. A tiny reverse rim bruise is noted by the first T in TWENTY.(Registry values: N991)
1850-O $20 MS60 PCGS. The 1850-O Liberty Head twenty is a first-date-of-issue coin, and the first branch mint double eagle. The reported mintage was a respectable 141,000 pieces, but virtually all these coins were released into circulation in the 1850s. Few examples were saved, and the surviving population is estimated at 500-600 examples in all grades. In Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint 1839-1909, Doug Winter writes:
Winter estimates 3-4 specimens of the 1850-O are extant in Mint State grades. Allowing for resubmissions and crossovers, this coincides well with the population data from the leading grading services. NGC has certified two coins at the MS60 level, with three finer; while PCGS has graded only one single example in MS60, with none finer (10/09). Any coin at the MS60 level would be a candidate for Condition Census, if such a list was ever compiled.
Collecting large denomination gold coins did not become popular until the late 1930s, and auction appearances of Liberty Head double eagles are uncommon before that era. One early appearance of the 1850-O occurred in the Smith, Dickie and Other Collections (Thomas Elder, 11/1935), lot 128: "1850. $20. New Orleans Mint. Rare. Fine." Elder's terse commentary was standard for the time. Clearly, he appreciated the rarity of the issue, even in lower grades.
The present coin is an attractive specimen, with greenish-gold surfaces and underlying hints of red. The bright semireflective fields exhibit even mint luster. The coin is fully struck in the centers, with just some localized softness on several obverse stars. Numerous small to medium sized marks are scattered over each side, accounting for the grade. This rare Uncirculated specimen is sure to attract spirited bidding from Southern Gold specialists.(Registry values: N7079)
"The 1850-O is not really hard to locate in Very Fine and Extremely Fine grades. It is very scarce in the lower About Uncirculated grades and most of the examples in this range are characterized by heavily abraded surfaces. High end About Uncirculated pieces are truly rare and this issue is extremely rare in full Uncirculated."
Winter estimates 3-4 specimens of the 1850-O are extant in Mint State grades. Allowing for resubmissions and crossovers, this coincides well with the population data from the leading grading services. NGC has certified two coins at the MS60 level, with three finer; while PCGS has graded only one single example in MS60, with none finer (10/09).

1851 $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaned as the reason that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has XF details and has been cleaned. A lightly circulated early double eagle with moderately bagmarked butter-gold surfaces. Luster outlines the reverse design and individual obverse stars.
1851 $20 AU58 NGC. This near-Mint State example retains an ample amount of luster. Its bright brassy-gold surfaces display hints of light green and tan and reveal distributed light marks. Relatively well defined except for the usual softness in portions of Liberty's hair. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) write that the vast majority of the 2 million + mintage did not survive.(Registry values: N1793)
1851 $20 AU58 PCGS. This early double eagle has a thin mark in the left obverse field, while the balance of the coin has only trivial abrasions. With vast quantities of gold being mined in California, mintages of double eagles in the early 1850s were significant, although most entered circulation and were eventually lost or melted.(Registry values: N1793)
1851 $20 AU58 NGC. The 1851 double eagle is less common than what might be assumed from its mintage exceeding 2 million pieces. It is most often seen in VF or XF condition. AU coins, especially high-end pieces such as this AU58, are scarce. Considerable luster is apparent on the yellow-gold surfaces that exhibit well defined motifs. Light circulation marks are undisturbing.(Registry values: N1793)
1851-O $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. VF Details. Semibright yellow-gold surfaces reveal some fine hairlines under magnification, along with light to moderate contact marks. Appropriate delineation on the devices for the VF Details grade.(Registry values: N991)
1851-O $20 VF35 PCGS. The 315,000 double eagles coined in Louisiana in 1851 was the largest recorded production at the New Orleans Mint. This pleasing piece has attractive greenish-gold surfaces with only minuscule surface marks.(Registry values: N991)
1851-O $20 XF45 PCGS. The antebellum O-mint double eagle issues are some of the most pursued U.S. gold coins, with both their large size and historic interest adding to the allure. Most of the survivors of this ample issue grade VF or XF, due to their widespread circulation when issued. This Choice XF coin shows an expected degree of wear, but contact marks are neither widespread nor distracting. The reverse, in particular, is high-end for the grade.(Registry values: N991)
1851-O $20 AU50 NGC. The yellow-gold surfaces of this O-mint twenty retain traces of luster in the recesses. A sharp strike shows on the design features, including the obverse star radials and reverse lettering, elements that are often weak on this issue. Distributed marks are noted over each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1851-O $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. A lightly worn piece, well struck for a New Orleans twenty but with numerous marks and hairlines visible on each side. Despite a past cleaning, considerable reflective luster remains in the protected areas.(Registry values: N1793)
1851-O $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. Yellow-gold surfaces display traces of luster in the recesses and are well defined. Some fine hairlines are visible under a loupe. Small grease marks cross the central reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1851-O $20 AU58 NGC. The 1851-O twenty is considerably scarcer in AU than the 1852-O double eagle issue that follows it, and it is still rare in Mint State despite the recovery of a few pieces on the shipwrecks of the S.S. Central America and S.S. Republic. Most of the original mint luster resides still on this piece, although there is light rub on the high points, as expected for the grade. The apricot-gold surfaces are attractive and well-struck, with a touch of smoky haze but no singular abrasions. NGC has certified more than five dozen at the near-Mint State level, but only two dozen in MS60 or above.(Registry values: N1793)
1852 $20 AU55 PCGS. Brass-gold surfaces are imbued with hints of light tan and retain luster in the recessed areas. A few minute marks are scattered over each side.(Registry values: N991)
1852 $20 MS62 PCGS. All of the Type One twenties, except for the few treasure dates, are major condition rarities in Mint State grades, and the 1852 is no exception. Just over 2 million coins were minted, yet only a few hundred survive in all Mint State grades, including just two or three dozen that grade MS62 or finer. This representative has bright yellow luster with frosty gold surfaces and wispy orange toning. The strike is sharp and the overall eye appeal is excellent. Population: 27 in 62, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1852-O $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Although it is generally available in Very Fine through AU grades, the population thins out in Mint State, where only two dozen or so examples are known. This near-Mint State example will make a wonderful representative of the issue, with almost all of its original luster intact (with bright semiprooflike fields) and just a whisper of rub visible on the high points. Golden-yellow surfaces are free of singular abrasions and boldly struck, with lots of eye appeal. While NGC has certified several dozen examples in this grade, a testament to its Mint State rarity is that only 14 are graded finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1853 $20 --Obverse Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. Peach-gold color embraces both sides, each of which possesses a good amount of luster for an XF Details grade. Nicely defined and minimally abraded for the issue and grade. The cleaning is not at all bad.(Registry values: N991)
1853 $20 AU50 PCGS. The 3 is clearly repunched, although this is not the "1853/2" variety. Considerable bright yellow luster remains with excellent mint frost. Hints of green add to its eye appeal.(Registry values: N991)
1853-O $20 AU53 PCGS. CAC. A small mintage of 71,000 Liberty Head double eagles was produced at the New Orleans Mint in 1853. The issue is scarce in all grades and quite rare in Mint State. Attractive AU coins are an appropriate choice for a fine collection of Type One double eagles. The present coin features crisp striking detail, with only slight wear on the high points of the design. Wear is more apparent on the reverse. Significant mint luster remains on the pleasing green-gold surfaces. Population: 12 in 53, 45 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1854 $20 Small Date XF45 PCGS. The normally seen Small Date variety in Choice XF, with rich green-gold surfaces and considerable luster retained on both sides.(Registry values: N991)
1854 $20 Small Date AU50 NGC. The yellow-orange surfaces of this Small Date twenty retain ample satiny luster. Well struck with abrasions on and around the portrait accounting for the AU50 designation.(Registry values: N991)
1854 $20 Small Date AU58 PCGS. CAC. Two varieties of 1854 Liberty Head double eagles share the reported mintage of 757,899 pieces. The present coin represents the more available Small Date variety. Only a handful of specimens have been recovered from hoards and treasure finds. The issue is scarce at the AU58 level, and rare in Mint State. Sharply impressed devices and radiant luster combine to produce outstanding eye appeal on this near-Mint specimen. Population: 29 in 58, 21 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1854 $20 Large Date AU53 PCGS. The 1854 Large Date double eagle is a rare variety that seldom appears in any grade. Only about one of every 10 1854 twenties in our sales are examples of the Large Date variety. This piece is brilliant with honey-gold color, satin surfaces, and considerable luster. Minor surface marks on each side are typical of the grade.(Registry values: P6)
1854 $20 Large Date AU55 PCGS. The 1854 Large Date represents a small part of the total mintage of 757,899 double eagles produced at the Philadelphia Mint in that year. Doug Winter and Adam Crum estimate the issue may only account for 10% of the production. Coins in high circulated grades seem to be nearly as rare as Mint State examples of the issue. A diagnostic of the Large Date variety is a die dot on Liberty's neck, located left of the curl.
The present coin is sharply struck, and the die dot shows plainly on the neck. Much original mint luster remains on the surfaces, especially in sheltered areas around the devices. The lightly abraded fields show a few minor scratches behind Liberty's neck and a shallow scuff in the upper obverse field. Population: 12 in 55, 12 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P6)

1855 $20 AU55 NGC. While usually viewed as a common date, 1855 double eagles are quite scarce in the better AU grades and truly rare in Mint State. This Choice AU specimen displays yellow-gold coloration along with traces of luster in the protected areas, and the design elements are nicely defined. The heavy contact marks seen on the obverses of the majority of 1855 twenty dollar survivors are evident on this piece.(Registry values: N1793)
1855 $20 MS61 NGC. While available in the lower circulated grades, the 1855 twenty is rare and very underrated in Mint State (Douglas Winter and Adam Crum, 2002). The satiny yellow-gold surfaces of this MS61 example exhibit well struck design elements. While localized grazes preclude a higher grade, the heavy, detracting abrasions seen on most '55 survivors are absent. Even Liberty's cheek is somewhat smoother than usually seen. All in all, this is a nicer coin than what might be expected for an MS61. Census: 6 in 61, 3 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1855-S $20 XF45 NGC. A well-defined yellow-orange example with considerable luster remaining in the moderately abraded fields. Significant marks are noted at star 6 on the obverse, while the reverse shows minor encrustation and a rim bump below the N in TWENTY.(Registry values: N991)
1855-S $20 AU55 NGC. The 1855-S double eagle is mostly seen in Very Fine or Extremely Fine condition. This Choice AU example displays a good amount of luster on its brass-gold surfaces that are imbued with traces of reddish-gold. The design elements are well defined. A few minute marks are visible, as are some faint hairlines that show up under high magnification.(Registry values: N1793)
1856 $20 AU58 PCGS. The 1856 is one of the more difficult 1850s Philadelphia double eagles to locate. Mint State examples are especially tough to obtain, and PCGS and NGC have seen none finer than MS63. This near-Mint State offering displays a good amount of luster and is well defined. Yellow-gold surfaces are minimally abraded for a coin that saw brief circulation. Grease stains are visible in the upper left reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1856-S $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaned as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned. Although slightly glossy, many collectors would regard the surfaces are acceptable. Richly detailed, and luster is particularly extensive on the reverse.
1856-S $20 AU55 NGC. The large mintage, as well as the tragedy of the sinking of the S.S. Central America, are both responsible for the relative availability today of this issue. It is also a popular issue as an antebellum S-mint. Much luster radiates from the orange-gold surfaces of this Choice AU piece, and the coin overall is well-struck and distraction-free.(Registry values: N1793)
1856-S $20 AU55 NGC. Only a trace of wear breaks the nearly full luster of this Choice AU Type One double eagle. The surfaces are light yellow with hints of green, entirely unlike the appearance of the S.S. Central America treasure coins. It is likely that this piece was in numismatic circulation before that treasure was discovered.(Registry values: N1793)
1856-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Large numbers of 1857-S and 1856-S double eagles were found in the salvage operations on the S.S. Central America 20 years ago. This coin is not designated as one of those pieces, but in all probability it is. The surfaces have a deep, even reddish hue and the underlying mint luster is especially strong for an MS62. A few light, inoffensive marks account for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1856-S $20 Full Serif, High Right S MS64 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. Variety 17D, SSCA 7489. The 1856-S Liberty Head double eagle boasts a large mintage of nearly 1.2 million pieces. Thanks to the presence of more than 1,000 examples in the treasure excavated from the S.S. Central America, the 1856-S is the third most available Type One double eagle, and an extremely popular issue with type collectors. In addition to the Central America treasure, the 1856-S has turned up in other shipwreck finds and 23 specimens were included in the Baltimore Hoard of the 1930s. An early auction appearance was lot 2732 of the Wendell C. Foster Collection (Thomas Elder, 6/1935). Elder noted the coin was from the Baltimore Hoard, and described it as "Brilliant Unc. Finest ever." In the 1930s, the 1856-S was usually seen in circulated grades, and the Baltimore coin was an exceptional example. Today, the Mint State specimens from the S.S. Central America are acknowledged as some of the finest Type One double eagles ever seen.
The present coin is a marvelous specimen and fully struck in all areas with especially strong detail present on the stars and eagle's feathers. The surfaces exhibit intense, frosty luster, with a slightly granular texture. The only mark of note is a small, horizontal abrasion on Liberty's throat. Overall visual appeal is excellent, and the coin's history is compelling.(Registry values: P4)

1857-O $20 AU58 NGC. The 1857-O twenty is most often seen in VF and XF grades. AU 50 coins are scarce and higher level AUs are rare. Mint State pieces are extremely rare; indeed, NGC and PCGS have certified only four Uncirculated examples, none above MS63.
Brassy-gold color envelops this near-Mint State specimen that displays a good amount of luster, and the design elements exhibit an above-average strike, including the date, obverse stars, and Liberty's hair, elements that are often weak. Small circulation marks are noted, but these are shallower that usually encountered on surviving examples. Census: 23 in 58, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)

1857-S $20 MS66 NGC. Ex: S.S. Central America. Variety 20A, the "Spiked Shield" reverse. A beautiful yellow-gold Premium Gem with a splendidly smooth reverse and a clean portrait. Potent luster sweeps this sharply impressed example. Given its quality and appearance, it is difficult to believe that the present coin spent more than a century on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. A large number of '57-S twenties emerged from the S.S. Central America holdings, but most of those pieces are in decidedly lesser grade. A wonderful Type Two representative.(Registry values: N7079)
1857-S $20 Bold S MS66 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. Variety 20B. SSCA 0507. The Bold S variety is overall one of the more common variants found from the recovery efforts of the Central America shipwreck. Although PCGS has certified nearly 200 examples of the 1857-S (all varieties) in MS66, there are only 11 pieces finer (10/09). In the early die state of the present piece, the mintmark is virtually closed, opening up a bit in later states. This Premium Gem is certainly close to the top end in aesthetic terms, boasting splendid two-toned surfaces, with yellow-gold centers and deeper orange-gold coloration near the rims. Neither side reveals any abrasions of importance, although a couple of obverse marks may have precluded the MS67 level. The strike is sharp, as usually seen on this issue. An attractive and interesting specimen of this historic early S-mint double eagle.(Registry values: P2)
1858-S $20 XF45 NGC. Despite light wear, this Choice XF coin retains profound yellow-gold radiance. Well struck with only a few abrasions of any significance, the most noticeable being one below Liberty's chin.(Registry values: N991)
1858-S $20 --Obverse Rim Filed--NGC. Unc Details. The 1858-S double eagle is rare in Mint State, where most of the known pieces fall into the MS60 to MS61 range. Ample luster is evident on the yellow-gold surfaces of this Unc Details specimen, and with the exception of minor softness on portions of Liberty's hair, the devices are well defined. Light file mark on parts of the obverese rim are visible under a loop, and a few scattered marks are noted. Overall, a rather nice coin, the NGC disclaimer notwithstanding.(Registry values: N4719)
1859-O $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. A review of population data confirms the scarcity of the 1859-O double eagle (mintage of 9,100 pieces) in all circulated grades and its extreme rarity in Mint State. The bright yellow-gold surfaces of this XF Details specimen reveal fine hairlines and distributed small contact marks. The design elements exhibit fairly good detail for an issue that is typically poorly struck.(Registry values: N4719)
1860 $20 XF40 PCGS. Plenty of luster beckons from design recesses of this attractively toned orange-gold double eagle. The cheek has a couple of moderate marks. Housed in an old green label holder.(Registry values: N991)
1860 $20 XF45 PCGS. Both sides have deep honey-gold surfaces with darker patina on the high points and rich orange toning around the devices. Minor abrasions are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: N991)
1860 $20 AU58 NGC. Considerable luster brightens this lightly abraded near-Mint No Motto Liberty twenty. The wing tips and the highpoints of Liberty's hair exhibit only the slightest friction. Both sides display brilliant yellow-gold surfaces. NGC has only certified 60 examples of this date in finer Mint State grades.(Registry values: N991)
1860-S $20 AU58 PCGS. Considered a rarity until the last decade, with multiple examples found in the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic treasures. This example is highly lustrous with frosty surfaces and a trace of wear on the high points. Population: 36 in 58, 26 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1861 $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has AU details but is cleaned. A moderately glossy Civil War double eagle with inconspicuous marks on the left obverse including a minor rim ding at 10 o'clock.
1861 $20 AU50 PCGS. A pleasing green-gold example of this plentiful date, from a mintage of nearly 3 million coins. As the Civil War took hold, mintages dropped substantially, and Philadelphia would not produce 1 million or more double eagles again in a year until 1873. Smooth surfaces and attractive green-gold color ensures that this piece will be a nice addition to a type or date collection.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $20 AU55 PCGS. This attractive Choice AU specimen displays considerable luster in its recessed areas. A subtle blend of peach-gold and mint-green shows up on the lightly abraded surfaces. Generally well struck.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $20 AU55 NGC. A briefly circulated Civil War twenty whose olive-gold surfaces display extensive satin sheen. A few moderate but inconspicuous marks correspond to the grade and denomination.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $20 AU55 NGC. Deep orange-gold surfaces are softly luminous beneath delicate layers of haze. Despite a number of marks, this briefly circulated Civil War-era coin retains impressive eye appeal.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $20 AU55 NGC. An original Choice AU piece with honey-gold surfaces and dark blue-green patina on the high points.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $20 AU55 NGC. Attentively struck with only slight wear across the high points. The lightly abraded wheat-gold fields show generous luster and occasional green-gold accents.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $20 AU58 NGC. A quality AU58 representative of this Civil War-era issue, well struck with just a hint of friction on the high points. Fine marks on the yellow-orange surfaces have little effect on the overall visual appeal. Near-Mint coins are particularly popular with type collectors, since fully Mint State pieces are elusive.(Registry values: N991)
1861 $20 MS64 NGC. The large coinage of nearly 3 million double eagles in 1861 would be the last such for decades. On April 12, 1861, the Civil War began in earnest with the bombardment of Fort Sumter, South Carolina, and new Mint Director James Pollock would take over in May. Despite the large mintage, the 1861-dated double eagles were likely subjected, more so than most issues, to hoarding, speculation, exportation, and circulation as well, in the months leading up to the onset of war. Most of the certified examples at both services are circulated to greater or lesser extents. In MS64 this piece is one of 22 so graded at NGC, with 10 pieces finer (10/09). The apricot-gold surfaces of this attractive near-Gem are nearly free of distractions. The strike is sharp overall, but minor weakness appears at the upper obverse rim and in the lower reverse. A single tiny dark spot appears at the 1 in the date but is minor.(Registry values: N4719)
1861-S $20 XF45 NGC. Scattered abrasions have little effect on this still-lustrous yellow-gold double eagle's eye appeal. Wear is concentrated largely on the highest design elements.(Registry values: N991)
1861-S $20 XF45 ANACS. Despite appreciable wear, the moderately abraded surfaces of this Choice XF coin show considerable radiance. Slight striking softness is visible at the centers.(Registry values: N991)
1861-S $20 AU50 NGC. Considerable luster remains on this slightly dusky Type One S-mint twenty. Lightly marked overall with a wispy abrasion that extends down from star 5 toward Liberty's nose.(Registry values: N1793)
1862 $20 XF45 PCGS. Dusky butter-yellow surfaces are luminous, with a degree of alloy visible as deeper color at the worn zones on the softly struck devices. Scattered light to moderate abrasions have surprisingly little impact on the overall eye appeal, which is strong for this Civil War-era issue. Population: 11 in 45, 31 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1862 $20 MS62 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. The mintage of double eagles in 1862, at 92,133 coins, was a meager 3% of 1861's large total, 2.9 million pieces. As the bloody news of horrific Civil War battles spread and doubt increased over the North's ability to quell the conflict, the Mint's outputs plunged as it became obvious that no amount of coinage production could prevent hoarding. The few early collectors preferred proof coinage to business strikes, and the small number of business strikes that did circulate saw extensive circulation. Some of the few Mint State pieces known derive from nine coins, some Uncirculated, found on the wreckage of the S.S. Republic. The 1862 today is among the rarest Type One double eagles.
This piece has a few scattered abrasions, mostly light, that account for the grade. The strike is nearly full, however, and there are no overt abrasions on the appealing yellow-gold surfaces. The fields are bright and semiprooflike, evenly matched on each side. This piece is one of only three MS62s certified at NGC, with three coins finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)

1862-S $20 AU53 PCGS. The About Uncirculated grade level is the finest condition in which the 1862-S double eagle can be located; Mint State coins are rare. Traces of luster reside in the recesses of this yellow-gold AU53 example and the design elements are well defined except for weakness in portions of Liberty's hair. Expected light marks are visible on both sides.(Registry values: N1793)
1862-S $20 AU53 PCGS. The 1862-S double eagle is a high-mintage issue that is readily available in VF to XF condition. It becomes scarcer in AU, despite the recovery of several hundred pieces from the combined hoards of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic shipwrecks, many of which were AU coins. This piece is boldly struck with deep khaki-gold coloration and modest wear on the high points. A couple of moderate blemishes are apparent on each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1862-S $20 AU55 NGC. The large-mintage 1862-S double eagle (854,173 pieces) saw extensive circulation. Douglas Winter and Adam Crum (2002) write that until the recent discovery of some hoards the '62-S was rare in any grade higher than XF. It can now be located through the AU levels without too much difficulty. Mint State coins, however, remain extremely rare. Luster resides in the recessed areas of this Choice AU honey-gold specimen, and the design features exhibit better detail than ordinarily seen on surviving examples. Scattered small contact marks are visible, a condition seen on most 1862-S twenties.(Registry values: N1793)
1863 $20 XF40 PCGS. Moderate, even wear shows on the largely unabraded surfaces of this attractive Civil War era specimen. From a low mintage of 142,790 pieces, the 1863 business-strike double eagle was not saved in quantity by contemporary collectors. The issue is scarce in all grades today. Population: 14 in 40, 98 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N991)
1863 $20 XF45 NGC. A still-lustrous Choice XF example of this popular and elusive Civil War issue, dusky butter-yellow in color with a slightly deeper reverse. While the wear pattern on the portrait suggests striking softness, the reverse remains boldly defined. Scattered abrasions are typical for the time period, though a small scrape is noted at Liberty's lower neck and the upper left obverse rim shows a handful of light cuts.(Registry values: N991)
1863 $20 AU50 NGC. Brass-gold surface possess semiprooflike fields that accentuate the motifs at various angles. Good definition shows on the design features, even after accounting for wear on Liberty's curls. The small marks present are fewer than what might be expected for what is typically a highly abraded issue.(Registry values: N1793)
1863 $20 AU55 NGC. This Civil War issue is most frequently seen in Extremely Fine to lower About Uncirculated grades. Higher level AUs are scarce and Mint State coins are very rare. Yellow-gold patination dominates both sides of this Choice AU example, accented with mint-green and rose, and each retains a good amount of luster. Relatively strong detail shows on the devices. Scattered contact marks are probably fewer and of less severity than usually encountered.(Registry values: N1793)
1863-S $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned. The obverse is a bit bright, and scattered minor marks are consistent with light circulation. Areas of unfinished surface (as made) are seen within the reverse peripheral legend, indicative of unusually slack workmanship at the U.S. Mint.
1863-S $20 XF45 PCGS. Small S. This orange-gold representative displays luster within design crevices, and no more than the expected number of small marks. Encased in a green label holder, which predates any possible pedigree to the S.S. Republic.(Registry values: N991)
1863-S $20 AU53 NGC. Small S. With a mintage of nearly 1 million coins, the 1863-S has and will always be available in well circulated grades, but higher circulated grade coins and Mint State coins will always be elusive. This piece has pleasing orange and green-gold luster with darker high point patina.(Registry values: N1793)
1863-S $20 AU53 PCGS. Large S. Yellow-gold surfaces retain traces of luster in the protected areas and exhibit well struck design elements. Each side reveals distributed light marks. This Civil War-era representative is mostly found in Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated grades. Its population was increased by the discoveries of the S.S. Republic and the S.S. Brother Jonathan.(Registry values: N1793)
1863-S $20 AU58 NGC. Small S. The discovery of the S.S. Republic and the S.S. Brother Jonathan resulted in approximately 300 1863-S double eagles entering the market, mostly in the About Uncirculated range. The issue is still very scarce in Mint State, however. It is unknown whether the present AU58 specimen came from one of the above shipwrecks. Nevertheless, its wheat-gold surfaces with subtle greenish tints display a good amount of luster and are less abraded than typically seen for the date. The strike is slightly above average as a fair amount of detail shows in Liberty's hair and most of the star centers.(Registry values: N1793)
1863-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Small S. The 1863-S twenty dollar, with a mintage approaching 1 million pieces, is available through the About Uncirculated level of preservation. Mint State examples are very scarce, though a number were discovered aboard the shipwreck S.S. Brother Jonathan. MS62 is the highest grade most collectors will be able to locate as finer examples are elusive.
The lustrous surfaces of this MS62 coin have a frosty texture and display highly attractive apricot-gold and mint-green patina with soft lilac accents. An above average strike delivers sharp definition to the obverse stars and most of Liberty's hair, elements that are typically weak. The few grade-defining marks are small and do not detract from the coin's pleasing overall eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)

1864 $20 XF45 NGC. A remarkably flashy coin for the Choice XF designation, this lightly abraded yellow-gold example offers strong overall eye appeal. The portrait shows a single significant mark below the Y in LIBERTY.(Registry values: N1793)
1864 $20 AU55 PCGS. CAC. A visually interesting twenty that displays deep cherry-red patina around the devices on each side. The high points of the devices are gray-lilac, and the combination of each gives the coin a remarkable range of color. Fewer abrasions than normally seen; the only mark worthy of note is a thin, horizontal mark in the upper left obverse field. A scarce Type One issue. Population: 28 in 55, 42 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1864-S $20 AU55 NGC. Before large numbers of 1864-S double eagles were discovered aboard the wrecks of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and the S.S. Republic, they were found mostly in VF and XF condition. The discoveries greatly increased the AU and lower Mint State populations. Bright brass-gold surfaces laced with light tan characterize the present Choice AU offering. The design elements are generally well defined, including most of the star centers. Typically abraded, including some noticeable marks in the lower left obverse field.(Registry values: N1793)
1864-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Before the treasures of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and the S.S. Republic were recovered, the 1864-S Liberty double eagle was one of the most difficult Type One issues to find in Mint State. The substantial mintage of 793,660 pieces assured an adequate supply of VF to AU examples, but any Uncirculated specimen was a rarity. The situation improved considerably once the coins from the famous shipwrecks entered the market. In A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins, Q. David Bowers estimates a surviving population of 45 to 60 coins in Mint State grades today. The majority of shipwreck coins seen are in the lowest Uncirculated grades, leaving coins at the MS62 level decidedly rare. NGC has certified 11 examples at the MS62 level, with five finer; while PCGS has graded 10 specimens in MS62, with three finer (10/09).
The present coin features an average strike for the issue, which is typically weak on the obverse. The surfaces exhibit frosty luster, with a slightly granular texture. The lovely greenish-gold color is highlighted by areas of lavender and crimson. Handling marks are consistent with the grade. We note two small, scalloped-shaped rim bumps on the reverse, below TWENTY.(Registry values: N4719)

1865 $20 AU53 NGC. Warm sun-yellow luster shows hints of orange. While the fields are minimally abraded and largely undisturbed by circulation, the softly struck devices are more affected by wear.(Registry values: N1793)
1865 $20 MS61 PCGS. At one time, the 1865 double eagle was a major rarity in all grades. However, all that changed when 320 examples were found in the S.S. Republic treasure, including coins that grade up to MS65. A similar situation took place with the 1865-S double eagles when the S.S. Brother Jonathan treasure appeared on the market.
This Mint State 1865 twenty has bright green-gold luster with olive patina on the obverse high points. It is nicely detailed and, despite myriad abrasions, has an excellent look. Population: 6 in 61, 17 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)

1865 $20 MS64 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. The 1865 double eagle has always had added historic appeal to the many history buffs who double as numismatists, due to its dating from the last year of the Civil War. Previously to the S.S. Republic shipwreck recovery, only circulated specimens were obtainable. But that vessel proved a treasure trove of the date, with 320 pieces ranging from AU upward. In MS64, this piece is one of 82 so certified at NGC, with 25 finer (10/09). The yellow-gold surfaces of this near-Gem example are delightfully smooth and free of distractions. Only some minor contact on the cheek apparently precludes an even finer grade. The reverse is equally appealing with only insignificant abrasions, and the strike is full. An extremely appealing example.(Registry values: N1)
1865-S $20 XF45 NGC. Luster glimmers from protected areas of this original Type One double eagle. Tiny marks are scattered, but none singularly distract. Probably not from the S.S. Brother Jonathan, the source of most Uncirculated survivors.(Registry values: N991)
1865-S $20 AU55 PCGS. The 1865-S is another double eagle that was very rare in high grade before the finds of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and the S.S. Republic. Only Gem examples can now be considered rare. The peach-gold surfaces of this Choice AU example display luster in the recessed areas and show distributed minute marks. Generally well defined except for the usual weakness in some of the star centers and in portions of Liberty's hair.(Registry values: N1793)
1865-S $20 AU55 NGC. Luster resides in the recessed areas of this Choice AU S-mint double eagle. The yellow-gold surfaces exhibit good detail on most of the devices, including the often- weak centers of the obverse stars. As found on the great majority of all Type One San Francisco double eagles, this specimen reveals noticeable contacts, especially on Liberty's cheek and neck.(Registry values: N1793)
1865-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Ex: Brother Jonathan. 785. More than 600 Mint State 1865-S double eagles were recovered from the shipwreck of the S.S. Brother Jonathan, transforming the issue from a challenging date to an available type coin. The issue was considered elusive before the treasure recovery, as seen from an early auction appearance in the Wendell C. Foster Collection (Thomas Elder, 6/1935), lot 2339, "1865 Twenty Dollars. S. Mint. Fine. V. Rare." Of course, the situation is much different today, when the issue is primarily prized as a mintmarked type coin.
The present coin is sharply struck, with just a touch of softness on the left obverse stars. The devices show thick mint frost, and the fields are minimally abraded. The obverse surfaces are an attractive reddish-gold, while the reverse is bright yellow-gold, with reddish margins.(Registry values: N2998)

The obverse surfaces are an attractive reddish-gold, while the reverse is bright yellow-gold, with reddish margins.(Registry values: N2998)
1866 $20 AU58 NGC. Vibrantly lustrous with pale color that falls midway between canary-yellow and straw-gold. Well-defined everywhere save for the portrait, which shows a touch of rub to go with the softness of strike. Still, this is a high-quality near-Mint example of the first Motto double eagle issue struck at Philadelphia. NGC has graded 38 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N1793)
1866 $20 MS60 PCGS. Rarely available in mint condition and always of interest as the first year of the With Motto type. This MS60 has strong mint luster that is interrupted by numerous small to medium sized abrasions that are peppered over each side. Well, but not fully struck. Important and desirable to those who need an Uncirculated Type Two twenty.(Registry values: N2998)
1866-S $20 Motto MS60 PCGS. The first year of the Type Two double eagle design, and a popular issue with type collectors. The 1866-S Liberty Head, With Motto double eagle boasts a substantial mintage of 842,250 pieces. The coins circulated heavily in the regional economy at the time of issue. While the issue is not difficult to locate in circulated grades today, it is a rarity in Mint State. David Akers reports, "With respect to condition rarity, the 1866-S Motto is in the top 10% of the entire Double Eagle series." Q. David Bowers estimates perhaps 40 to 70 examples survive today in Mint State grades.
The present coin features a better than average strike, with only slight weakness on the central obverse, as usually seen. The surfaces are bright orange-gold, with unusually attractive frosty luster. Handling marks are consistent with the grade. Population: 4 in 60, 18 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)

1867 $20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. From a mintage of 251,065 pieces, the 1867 is the most available Liberty Head, Type Two double eagle of the 1860s. That being said, the issue is still scarce in Mint State, and attractive AU coins offer a good balance of eye appeal and affordability. The present coin is sharply struck, and shows only the slightest wear on the high points of the design. Much original mint luster remains, and the surfaces are covered by an even reddish-gold patina.(Registry values: N991)
1868 $20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Rich luster shines forth from the peach-gold surfaces of this appealing near-Mint coin, which shows only light color change on the high points to indicate a short stay in circulation. This is a scarce issue in all grades, and only a handful of pieces are certified in Mint State. The Smithsonian Institution lacks an example of this Type Two issue, according to Garrett and Guth.(Registry values: N1793)
1868-S $20 AU50 NGC. Well struck for this Type Two issue with splashes of peach on otherwise yellow-gold surfaces. Luminous with numerous fine abrasions throughout.(Registry values: N1793)
1868-S $20 AU55 PCGS. The 1868-S is most frequently seen in Extremely Fine to low-end About Uncirculated. Higher level AUs are scarce and Mint State coins are elusive. The yellow-gold surfaces of this Choice AU specimen display luster around and in the interstices of the design elements. Light to moderate circulation marks are noted.(Registry values: N1793)
1869 $20 AU50 NGC. Honey-gold surfaces display traces of luster in the recessed areas, and are tinted with traces of light tan and green. Fairly well defined, and revealing no more marks than what might be expected for a coin that has seen some circulation.(Registry values: N1793)
1869-S $20 AU53 PCGS. Though the obverse of this lightly circulated wheat-gold and lemon-yellow piece shows striking softness, the reverse is strongly detailed. Lightly abraded overall yet attractive.(Registry values: N1793)
1869-S $20 AU55 NGC. This yellow-gold Choice AU twenty retains considerable luster in the recessed areas. Well defined except for the usual strike softness in portions of Liberty's hair and on some of the star centers. Distributed light marks are undisturbing.(Registry values: N1793)
1870-S $20 AU55 NGC. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit traces of luster in the protected areas of this Choice AU S-mint specimen. Well defined and revealing distributed small marks.(Registry values: N991)
1870-S $20 AU58 NGC. While the mintage of the 1870-S twenty dollar approaches 1 million pieces, most were apparently destroyed or exported, never to return to the States. NGC/PCGS population reports indicate that surviving coins are in XF to low AU levels of preservation. Mint State examples are very rare, and most known specimens grade MS60 or MS61. Near-Mint State pieces such as the present offering are thus the finest most collectors will be able to locate. Peach-gold surfaces imbued with traces of reddish-tan possess ample luster and are well struck. Scattered small marks are consistent with a large, heavy gold coin that saw brief circulation.(Registry values: N991)
1871-S $20 AU55 NGC. Bright brassy-gold surfaces retain luster in the recesses and reveal distributed light marks. A nicely struck piece.(Registry values: N991)
1871-S $20 MS60 PCGS. While plentiful in grades Very Fine to About Uncirculated, the 1871-S double eagle becomes increasingly rare in Mint State. Indeed, it is virtually unobtainable above MS62. This well struck yellow-gold example displays nearly full luster, somewhat more so on the reverse. Distributed marks are more prevalent on the obverse.(Registry values: N2998)
1872-S $20 AU58 NGC. Orange and light green patina adorns this near-Mint State S-mint specimen. Minimally abraded surfaces retain considerable luster and are well struck.(Registry values: N991)
1872-S $20 MS60 NGC. An unworn representative of this popular Type Two double eagle issue, one that is elusive in Mint State. Though the obverse shows extensive abrasions that account for the grade, the lustrous orange-gold reverse is comparatively clean. NGC has 69 records of finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1873 $20 Open 3 MS62 NGC. An impressive example with brilliant, frosty, and highly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces. Both sides are pleasing and free of significant abrasions.(Registry values: N2998)
1873 $20 Open 3 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The Open 3 is one of the more available Type Two twenties, and is frequently found in mint condition. However, MS62 is generally the upper limit of its availability. This is a pleasing coin for the grade, as indicated by the CAC sticker, and the surfaces are softly lustrous with an even, light layer of reddish patina on each side. The devices are unusually sharp for this type with the only area of weakness seen on the oval of stars on the reverse. Minimally marked for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1873 $20 Open 3 MS62 NGC. Wheat-gold and yellow-orange hues appear at different angles on this subtly frosty Type Two twenty. This representative of the later Open 3 logotype shows few overt abrasions for the MS62 designation, though there is a measure of striking softness on the central portrait, along with scattered wispy abrasions and luster grazes.(Registry values: N2998)
1873 $20 Open 3 MS63 NGC. A frosty Select Mint State double eagle, this 1873 Open 3 piece has exceptional eye appeal. Although 1.7 million pieces were coined, making the date one of the most plentiful among all Type Two twenties, it is conditionally rare in MS63 or finer grades. While NGC and PCGS have certified 167 similar examples, the two services have only graded seven finer pieces (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1873-S $20 Closed 3 MS60 NGC. Bright yellow-gold surfaces display well struck devices. Scattered marks result in some interruptions in the luster flow.(Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Scratches or Rim Dents as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has obverse scratches. Both sides retain strong luster despite wear on the softly struck high points. The peripheral obverse zones show scratches, including a gouge in the space between the truncation of the bust and the date.

1874-CC $20 XF40 NGC. Pockets of butter-gold luster emerge when this Type Two Carson City twenty is rotated beneath a light. Liberty's hair shows wear, but the wing plumage is well defined. Only a mark merits mention, a thin line before the first S in STATES.(Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC $20 XF45 NGC. The 1874-CC is the earliest year that a double eagle is widely available from the Carson City mint. This is an original piece that retains a surprising amount of luster. The "old gold" surfaces have numerous small abrasions peppered over each side, and there are a couple of streaks of grease that were struck into the planchet at the time of manufacture.(Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC $20 XF45 PCGS. The 1874-CC double eagle is most frequently seen in Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated grades; Mint State pieces are rare. This Choice XF example displays traces of luster in the recessed areas of its peach-gold surfaces. Relatively well defined and revealing just a few light contact marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC $20 XF45 PCGS. The generous production of 115,085 coins for the 1874-CC double eagle is among the highest of any Carson City issue. This Choice XF example boasts rich orange-gold coloration with a few scattered, undistracting marks and grade-consistent wear. Note the extremely large date logotype used for this year.(Registry values: N1793)
1875 $20 MS61 PCGS. This lustrous Mint State piece has outstanding surfaces for the grade, with fully brilliant mint frost. It is a common issue for the Type Two design, yet elusive in higher grades.(Registry values: N1793)
1875-CC $20 XF40 NGC. Pale yellow-gold surfaces show glimmers of luster in the protected areas. This moderately abraded XF coin shows a few clusters of marks, most noticeably to the right of the eagle.(Registry values: N1793)
1875-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. A lustrous piece with a minimum of field marks and only the slightest wear on the high points. The reverse is equally impressive exhibiting hints of a proof-like surface.(Registry values: N1793)
1875-CC $20 AU58 NGC. With a mintage of 111,151 pieces, this is one of the more available and popular Carson City issues. A strong strike with only a modest amount of wear and relatively minor surface marks. Highly lustrous, especially for a near-Mint example. Brilliant yellow surfaces exhibit slightly reflective fields.(Registry values: N1793)
1875-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Over more than two decades of coin certification, PCGS has graded 1,730 1875-S double eagles, but only six of those coins grade MS64, and just one finer piece (the James A. Stack MS67) has been examined. More than 1 million pieces were originally minted, and most entered circulation or were exported overseas. The connoisseur will have to wait until the MS67 coin reappears in the market place, or else be content with an MS64. Although it has a few small marks, mostly on the obverse, the present brilliant Mint State piece is exceptional, with frosty yellow-gold luster and beautiful orange patina. Population: 6 in 64, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1876 $20 MS61 NGC. The Light Motto subtype, coined only in 1876 at Philadelphia. Yellow-gold surfaces display some evidence of prooflikeness and reveal distributed light marks. The design elements are adequately struck.(Registry values: N1793)
1876 $20 MS61 NGC. Heavy Motto. Honey-gold surfaces display a faint greenish cast, possess ample luster, and exhibit well struck design elements. Several small to moderate marks are scattered over each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1876-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been whizzed. Traces of original luster remain in the protected areas of this yellow-orange example. The reverse detail is bold for the issue.
1876-CC $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. A lightly worn example of this final Type Two Carson City double eagle issue. Bright sun-yellow surfaces show a number of abrasions and hairlines, as well as an alloy spot between stars 8 and 9.(Registry values: N1793)
1876-CC $20 XF45 PCGS. Ex: Rainy Day Collection. For the grade this piece exhibits a great deal of appeal. The fields show noticeable glints of reflectivity still surrounding the devices, and the friction from circulation is minimal and even over each side. Rich, reddish patina is distributed over each side of this minimally marked Type Two CC twenty.(Registry values: N1793)
1876-CC $20 MS60 PCGS. Peach-gold and mint-green patination adorns both sides of this CC-mint representative. The design features are well impressed except for the usual softness in some of the obverse star centers and portions of Liberty's hair. Scattered bagmarks, a common occurrence on surviving '76-CCs, preclude a finer grade. The PCGS holder has a green insert.

1876-CC $20 MS60 PCGS. Splashes of subtle green color visit the yellow-gold surfaces of this Uncirculated double eagle, and a better-than-average strike imparts good detail to the devices, including the obverse star centers. Prooflike fields, especially on the obverse, highlight the design elements at various angles. Distributed marks may well be fewer than expected for the MS60 grade. The coin reposes in a green label holder.

1876-CC $20 MS60 PCGS. PCGS/NGC population figures clearly indicate that the vast majority of known 1876-CC double eagles are in the lower levels of Mint State. Lemon and apricot-gold patina covers both sides of this well defined MS60 example, each of which displays a significant amount of "flash" in the semiprooflike fields. Moderately abraded, and encapsulated in a green label holder.

1876-CC $20 MS60 PCGS. The 1876-CC twenty was long considered rare in Mint State. David Bowers, in his American Coin Treasures and Hoards treatise, writes: "That changed in 1993 when many dozens--quite possibly over 100 pieces--came to light." Virtually all of these coins were in the MS60 to MS62 range. The semiprooflike fields of this MS60 specimen display die polish lines in the protected areas of the obverse. Its yellow-gold surfaces are minimally abraded for the grade designation. Encapsulated in a green-insert holder.

1876-CC $20 MS60 PCGS. Several hoards of 1876-CC double eagles entered the market during the last decade, expanding the population of Uncirculated examples (Rusty Goe, 2003). Bright yellow-gold, moderately marked surfaces of this MS60 example retain a good amount of luster and possess relatively well defined motifs. Light peripheral cracks are visible on the lower reverse. Encapsulated in a green label holder.

1876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Whispers of mint-green and sky-blue make occasional visits to the apricot-gold surfaces of this '76-CC representative. The fields and design-motif interstices are partially prooflike, thereby establishing moderate contrast with the devices. Despite the usual softness in portions of Liberty's hair, this example exhibits above average detail, including the obverse stars, elements that are often weak on this issue. Small marks limit the grade, but both sides are devoid of the copper spots that often frequent this date. The coin resides in a green label holder and is quite pleasing for an MS61. Population: 57 in 61, 51 finer (9/09).

1876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. This was the final year of the Type II double eagle with TWENTY D. on the reverse. Lustrous greenish-gold surfaces exhibit well struck design motifs, including the obverse stars which are often weak on surviving examples of this issue. Distributed light marks account for the grade. Housed in a green-label holder. Population: 57 in 61, 51 finer (9/09).

1876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. More double eagles were struck at the Carson City Mint in 1876 (138,441 pieces)than in any other year during this Mint's existence (1870-1893). Pretty yellow-gold color laced with mint-green resides on this MS61 specimen, along with a few inoffensive reddish-gold and sky-blue toning spots. A well directed strike leaves fairly strong detail on the design elements. Distributed small grazes are unobtrusive. The PCGS holder has a green insert.

1876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Semiprooflike fields are evident on both sides of this CC-mint twenty. Yellow-gold surfaces display whispers of apricot and tan and exhibit well impressed design features. The next highest grade is precluded by small marks, a bit more so on the obverse. Housed in a green insert holder.

1876-S $20 MS61 NGC. The cartwheel luster is unbroken, although the obverse field is abraded, as is Liberty's hair. Most Uncirculated '76-S twenties have a similar appearance, since the coins were loosely stored and shipped.(Registry values: N1793)
1876-S $20 MS62 NGC. CAC. Final year of the Type Two design, the 1876-S is also one of the more frequently seen type coins, especially in high grades. This is a lovely piece for the grade that has thick, frosted mint luster and a strong strike. A few light alloy spots are scattered over each side along with a number of light and individually insignificant abrasions and luster grazes.(Registry values: N2998)
1876-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Light yellow-gold surfaces with faint pink toning and frosty luster provide excellent eye appeal on this desirable double eagle. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are minimally abraded for the grade. The 1876-S is available in circulated grades and lower Mint State grades for type collectors.(Registry values: N2998)
1876-S $20 MS63 NGC. The relatively large mintage of 1.597 million pieces helps to make this issue easy to locate through the MS62 level of preservation. MS63s are scarce and higher grade specimens are quite rare. Lustrous peach-gold surfaces of this Select example display tints of light green and tan and uniformly struck devices. Scattered marks limit the grade, yet still attractive. Census: 64 in 63, 12 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1877 $20 MS62 PCGS. A splendid example of the first year Type Three Liberty double eagle with brilliant lemon-yellow luster and bold design definition. The surfaces are lightly abraded, preventing a higher grade. PCGS has only certified 14 finer examples of this important double eagle (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1877-CC $20 VF30 PCGS. Ex: Rainy Day Collection. Carson City double eagle production was never high when compared with its San Francisco counterpart, and the 1877-CC mintage was less than half that of its 1874-CC, 1875-CC, and 1876-CC predecessors. This peach-gold piece is problem-free and displays grade-consistent wear on Liberty's hair and the eagle's wings.(Registry values: N1793)
1877-CC $20 XF40 PCGS. With a mintage of only 42,565 pieces, the 1877-CC is a scarce issue, seldom seen above Choice XF. This bright yellow-gold example is sharply struck. Numerous small abrasions are sprinkled about, but the only ones worthy of note are a couple of scratches in the lower left obverse field.(Registry values: N1793)
1877-CC $20 XF45 NGC. It is not too difficult to locate an 1877-CC double eagle in Very Fine to About Uncirculated condition. Mint State pieces are elusive, however, and are virtually nonexistent above MS62. The honey-gold surfaces of this XF specimen display luster in the recesses and are nicely defined. Light surface and rim marks are noted over both sides.(Registry values: N1793)
1877-CC $20 XF45 PCGS. This is the first issue of the Type Three design struck at the Carson City Mint. Traces of luster are retained in the protected areas of this Choice XF example and sharp definition is seen on the design features. Scattered marks are visible on the yellow-gold surfaces.(Registry values: N1793)
1877-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1877-CC Liberty Head double eagle is a scarce, key date in the series, with an initial mintage of just 42,565 pieces. The issue is important as the first year of the Type Three design, the only major design change effected during the period of operation of the Carson City Mint. The present coin is attractive and well preserved, with minor, even wear showing on the central devices. The fields show a minimum number of abrasions, and the surfaces are an appealing orange-gold hue.(Registry values: N1793)
1877-S $20 MS61 PCGS. With a mintage of more than 1.7 million coins, this is a common date, but it is always in great demand as the first year of issue for the modified Type Three design with the denomination spelled out in its entirety. Lustrous pink and green toning add to the appeal of this brilliant yellow-gold double eagle.(Registry values: N991)
1878 $20 MS61 NGC. Partially prooflike characteristics endow this sharply struck double eagle. Soft mint-green and peach-gold coloration visits both obverse and reverse, each of which is moderately abraded.(Registry values: N991)
1878 $20 MS61 PCGS. Satiny gold surfaces with shimmering surfaces and a some faintly scattered dark luster marks.(Registry values: N991)
1878 $20 MS62 ★ NGC. As the Star designation implies, this is a coin of unusual eye appeal, particularly by MS62 standards. While a number of scattered flaws affect both sides, none of these is individually distracting, and the other elements of the coin work in harmony; in particular, the sharply struck and slightly frosted devices pair well with the vibrant sun-yellow luster.(Registry values: N1793)
1878-CC $20 XF40 PCGS. The tiny mintage of 1878-dated double eagles in Carson City was dwarfed by the totals produced in both San Francisco and Philadelphia, and it would be a couple of decades henceforth before collectors started paying attention to mint marks. Accordingly, most survivors of this issue are well-circulated. This XF example shows lovely orange-gold coloration, with a few ticks that are fewer and less severe than expected for the grade and issue.(Registry values: N1793)
1878-S $20 MS61 NGC. Boldly struck with good luster and the customary number of distributed small abrasions. A conditionally challenging issue; NGC has certified just nine pieces above the MS62 level.(Registry values: N1793)
1878-S $20 MS61 NGC. Yellow-gold surfaces display the most potent luster in the recesses of the sharply impressed design elements. Distributed marks are visible over each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1879-CC $20 MS60 NGC. Examples of this low mintage issue (10,708 pieces) are most often seen in Very Fine to Extremely Fine grades. About Uncirculated specimens are scarce to rare and mint State coins are extremely rare. NGC and PCGS have seen fewer than 20 of the latter, none above MS62.
The present Uncirculated offering displays crisply defined design features, characteristic of most '79-CCs. Semiprooflikeness is seen in the fields which highlight the devices. Distributed marks are visible over each side, a situation plaguing the majority of Carson City double eagles (Douglas Winter, 2001, p. 173). These are mostly small, however, and perhaps fewer and less severe than what might be expected for the designated grade. The often-encountered copper spots are lacking on this coin. Census: 3 in 60, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)

1879-O $20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. The 1879-O Liberty double eagle was the only New Orleans issue of the denomination after the Civil War, and the only issue of the Type Three design, greatly increasing its desirability.
The New Orleans Mint fell into Confederate hands in 1861, and after a brief production early that year, was dormant until 1879 when coinage operations began again. The reason that the Mint was reopened can be explained in two words: Morgan dollars. Morgan dollars represented more than half of the entire New Orleans output from 1879 through 1904. Afterward, the Mint operated for a few more years until 1909, when it was closed for good. During those 31 years, the Louisiana facility coined more than 186 million silver dollars. During the same period, that Mint struck just under 136 million coins of all other denominations, including dimes, quarters, half dollars, half eagles, eagles, and double eagles. In 1879, they struck 1,500 eagles and 2,325 double eagles.
Few survivors remain today from the 2,325 coin mintage, and they are usually encountered in circulated grades. This near-Mint example is a remarkable representative with sharp details, frosty luster, and brilliant green-gold surfaces. Only a few scattered surface marks are evident on both sides, especially the obverse, and they are entirely consistent with the grade. Population: 3 in 58, 1 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)

1882-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .95 suggests Scratches or Rim Dents as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has a large obverse scratch. A curving staple scratch arcs through most of the portrait, from hair to jawline. Elsewhere, the surfaces are lustrous yellow-orange with occasional areas of alloy.

1882-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. Bright green-gold surfaces accompany lightly worn design elements on this popular double eagle. Examples are generally available in the VF to AU grades, such as the piece offered here. Many of those on the market today have come from overseas banks, stored for decades since they were exported in the late 19th century.(Registry values: N1793)
1882-CC $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc Details. Variety 1-A. From an original mintage of 39,140 pieces, the 1882-CC Morgan dollar is one of the more available issues from the famous Carson City Mint. Perhaps 800-900 examples survive today in all grades, and Doug Winter estimates 30-35 specimens in Mint State. The present coin is well struck, with orange-gold surfaces and minimal abrasions. The apparent wear on the devices is probably the result of improper cleaning.(Registry values: N2998)
1882-S $20 MS61 PCGS. Dark blue-green patina on the high points accompanies the brilliant pink and yellow-gold luster of this original Mint State piece.(Registry values: N1793)
1883-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as a reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been harshly cleaned. The central definition is bold, but the yellow-gold luster is interrupted, this effect being more pronounced on the obverse.
1883-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been polished and has obverse scratches. While the yellow-gold luster is clearly unnatural (and the rims show damage that suggest the coin once was mounted as jewelry), this remains a strongly struck Carson City double eagle with only a few scratches scattered on the obverse.
Ex: Stack's (3/2008), lot 1328.

1883-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. A modest mintage of 59,962 Liberty Head double eagles was accomplished at the Carson City Mint in 1883. The issue was present in several European hoards, making it relatively available in circulated grades today. The date is quite popular with type collectors, as well as Western gold specialists. The present coin features minimally abraded surfaces, with a sharp strike and pleasing reddish tinted color.(Registry values: N1793)
1883-CC $20 AU50 NGC. With a mintage of nearly 60,000 coins, the 1883-CC twenty is at once a popular issue and an available one. Survivors are normally seen in the VF to AU grades, such as the present piece. Pleasing light yellow surfaces retain plenty of original mint frost. Only a few trivial surface marks are present.(Registry values: N1793)
1883-CC $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Although the luster appears unbroken, careful inspection reveals a trace of friction on the cheek. Certainly high end, since the surfaces lack the bagmarks usually associated with momentarily circulated double eagles. Another low mintage Carson City issue, as fewer than 60,000 pieces were struck.(Registry values: N1793)
1883-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. Although the 1883-CC twenty was produced to the extent of less than 60,000 coins, later emissions of this mint and denomination would make it seem generous in comparison. This near-Mint example boasts rich orange-gold color and bright semiprooflike fields. A well-balanced and attractive CC-mint twenty.(Registry values: N1793)
1884-CC $20 XF45 NGC. Dusky but still-luminous yellow-orange surfaces have subtle coral-pink overtones. Strongly impressed on the portrait with scattered minor abrasions, as expected for a circulated gold coin.(Registry values: N1793)
1885-CC $20 XF45 NGC. Pale yellow surfaces exhibit deeper patina that outlines the design elements on each side of this pleasing double eagle. The surfaces are relatively mark free for the grade, and the overall appearance is excellent. Here is a desirable Carson City gold piece for the specialist, or for the casual collector who seeks a representative coin from the old West.(Registry values: N1793)
1885-CC $20 AU53 NGC. The 1885-CC Type Three Liberty Head double eagle is one of the scarcest dates of the decade, with a paltry mintage of 9,450 pieces. Examples are scarce in AU grades today. The present coin is sharply struck, with some wear showing on Liberty's coronet and the eagle's head. Much original mint luster remains, especially on the reverse. The surfaces are largely unabraded.(Registry values: N2998)
1885-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Peach-gold surfaces display well struck devices and nearly full luster. Distributed light marks limit the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1887-S $20 MS61 PCGS. A splendid Mint State piece with outstanding yellow-gold luster and excellent eye appeal for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1888-S $20 MS62 PCGS. A delightful piece with hints of iridescence on the high points. Both sides have frosty and brilliant yellow luster.(Registry values: N1793)
1888-S $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. An exquisite Choice Mint State example, on the borderline of Gem quality, and just shy of the single finest existing 1888-S twenty. Both sides of this sharply struck piece are frosty and highly lustrous with brilliant yellow and rose-gold surfaces. Population: 41 in 64, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1889 $20 MS62 NGC. CAC. As evident from NGC and PCGS population figures the 1889 twenty is scarce in most grades. The typical collector is unlikely to encounter coins above the MS62 level, the condition of the present offering. Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit sharply struck design elements. Scattered light marks, while defining the grade, are neither plentiful nor intense. All in all, nice eye appeal for the designated grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1889-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned and has altered surfaces. The cloudy yellow-gold surfaces show hairlines from a past cleaning and evidence of alloy at the right reverse rim. Well-defined with minimal wear.
Ex: Stack's (3/2009), lot 6137.

1889-CC $20 XF45 PCGS. The small mintage of Carson City double eagles in 1889, a mere 30,945 coins, marked the first double eagle production in four years, since 1885. This piece shows pronounced orange-gold coloration, with light, grade-consistent wear but surprisingly few contact marks. A couple of tiny grease stains (as struck) on each side are undistracting.(Registry values: N1793)
1889-CC $20 AU50 NGC. A popular double eagle issue due in part to the fame of the 1889-CC Morgan dollar. This pleasing piece has greenish-gold surfaces with traces of rose toning and hints of luster in the protected areas. A small planchet depression obliterates most of the A in DOLLARS.(Registry values: N1793)
1889-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. The 1889-CC double eagles were the first of the denomination made since 1885, and the writing was on the wall for the venerated Carson City Mint, even though it had opened less than two decades earlier. Only 30,945 1889-CC double eagles were coined. This piece offers rich orange-gold, lustrous surfaces with relatively few abrasions for the grade, and a bold strike.(Registry values: N1793)
1889-CC $20 AU55 NGC. A popular Carson City Mint double eagle, the 1889-CC has a trace of rub on the high points, with a distinct olive appearance on Liberty's cheek. Faint reflectivity appears in the fields of this attractive piece, with minor handling marks as expected for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1889-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Though it is not so celebrated a rarity as its Morgan dollar counterpart, the 1889-CC double eagle actually has less than one-tenth the mintage. This Choice AU coin is attractive for the grade with ample yellow-gold luster across each side and strongly struck, minimally abraded devices that show only trifling wear. A few small alloy dots are visible on the portrait.(Registry values: N1793)
1890-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. A popular issue due to its status among the last of the CC-mint double eagles, and more plentiful than the 1889 or 1891-93 issues of Carson City. This Choice AU example offers attractive antique-gold coloration with minimal contact and light high-point rub consistent with the grade. There are fewer marks than normally seen on CC-mint gold, however, and the bold strike is another plus.(Registry values: N1793)
1890-CC $20 MS60 PCGS. This Uncirculated CC-mint double eagle displays a considerable amount of luster on its honey-gold surfaces. The design features are sharply impressed, an important attribute of the issue; only the centrils of two or three obverse stars reveal the usual softness. Some minute marks are noted, but these are fewer and of less severity than what might be expected for the designated MS60 grade. Housed in a green label holder.

1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Hundreds of thousands of double eagles were exported during the first few years of the 1890s. While the bulk of these were from the San Francisco Mint, large percentages were also from Carson City (Rusty Goe, 2003). Attractive peach-gold coloration embraces this MS61 example, and luminous surfaces exhibit well defined design features. Light surface marks barely preclude the next highest grade. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 68 in 61, 45 finer (9/09).

1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Honey-gold patination shows hints of light tan and green, and a decisive strike delivers strong delineation to the design elements. Small marks, while not warranting individual mention, preclude MS62 classification. The luster flow is nearly complete on both sides. A nice coin for the designated grade. This is a highly popular issue owing to its Carson City Mint affiliation.

1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. The year 1890 saw a production of 91,209 double eagles at the Carson City Mint. The yellow-gold surfaces of the current offering are imbued with hints of mint-green and exhibit sharply impressed design motifs. Nearly complete luster shows on both sides, each of which is lightly marked. The PCGS holder has a green insert. Population: 68 in 61, 45 finer (9/09).

1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. A well executed strike emboldens the design elements of this MS61 twenty dollar. Honey-gold surfaces display occasional sky-blue and lavender accents and retain ample luster. A peripheral crack encircles most of the reverse. Housed in a green label holder. Carson City Mint specialist Rusty Goe (2003) estimates that 225 to 300 1890-CC double eagles have survived in Uncirculated grades.

1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Bright brassy-gold surfaces yield a modest amount of field-motif contrast and are sharply defined, including the obverse stars which are often weak on this issue. Minute scuffs limit the grade. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Rusty Goe (2003) puts the survival rate for '90-CC twenties at between 2.8% and 3.3%.

1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1890-CC twenty is still quite scarce in MS61 despite the 150 or so pieces certified by PCGS and NGC; a number of these are likely resubmitted or crossed-over coins. This greenish-gold specimen exhibits well detailed motifs and is only lightly abraded. The coin resides in a green label holder. Population: 68 in 61, 45 finer (9/09).

1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Although the 1890-CC is one of the more common dates of the denomination from the Carson City Mint, it remains quite popular as a representative from that facility. The lustrous surfaces of this MS61 example display honey-gold patina and sharply struck design elements. A few minute surface and rim marks deny a finer grade. The PCGS holder is affixed with a green label.

1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. The mintage of the 1891-CC double eagle (5,000 pieces) is among the lowest for any Carson City issue. Despite its low mintage, the date can be located in Very Fine to Extremely Fine condition without too much trouble. About Uncirculated pieces are scarce, though the relatively high certified population of AU55s and AU58s likely results from resubmissions. Mint State pieces are very rare, with none grading higher than MS63.
This near-Mint State specimen retains considerable luster exuding from its yellow-gold surfaces. The design features are well impressed, except for the usual weakness in the first four obverse stars. Perhaps the most outstanding attribute of this coin, however, is that both sides are minimally abraded, which is very unusual for surviving examples. Douglas Winter (2001) writes:
Not only is this coin lightly abraded, it also lacks the copper spots and grease stains that are usually seen. We expect that this exceptional example will generate spirited bidding. Census: 68 in 58, 35 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)

1891-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Satiny with pleasing, original, green-gold color. A boldly impressed example with the initial look of a finer grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1891-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Minute S. From a large mintage of nearly 1.3 million pieces, the 1891-S Liberty Head double eagle is easily located in grades up to MS63, but is decidedly scarce in any higher grade. The present coin features a sharp strike, with bold detail on the hair and eagle's feathers. The surfaces are a pleasing peach-gold, enhanced by shades of crimson. Some handling marks and luster grazes are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1892-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. This is a low-mintage issue made to the extent of 27,265 pieces, but probably somewhat underrated overall. This AU example shows deep, rich peach-gold patina with fewer abrasions than expected and lots of eye appeal. The strike is sharp, and the piece shows considerable appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
1892-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. Although in the shadow of the rare 1891-CC double eagle, the 1892-CC is a challenging Carson City issue in its own right. Just 27,265 pieces were struck, a fraction of the production at San Francisco that year. This sharp example has noticeable luster and only a few relevant marks, mostly located in Liberty's hair and on the right obverse field.(Registry values: N1793)
1892-CC $20 MS62 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1892-CC double eagle boasts a mintage of 27,265 pieces, with perhaps 800-900 examples surviving today in all grades. Thomas Elder called the issue "VRare" in his sale of the Smith, Dickie and Other Collections (Elder, 11/1935), lot 879. The date has appeared in several hoards since Elder's day, becoming more available in circulated grades, but Mint State examples remain quite scarce.
The present coin displays bright semiprooflike fields on both sides, with a minimum number of handling marks for the grade. The surfaces are an attractive light reddish-gold. Sharply struck except for some peripheral weakness on the obverse stars. This example is sure to be popular with collectors of prooflike twenties. Census: 38 in 62, 5 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)

1893-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. The last double eagle issue of the legendary Carson City Mint, the 1893-CC twenty was made to the extent of only 18,402 coins, with must survivors averaging AU to Choice AU. This near-Mint piece sports above-average luster and eye appeal, with deep, mellow orange-red coloration on the devices and just a whisper of high-point rub.(Registry values: N1793)
1894 $20 MS63 NGC. A solid strike imparts sharp detail to the design elements of this Select example. Yellow-gold surfaces display nearly full luster.(Registry values: N1793)
1894 $20 MS64 NGC. The boldly executed devices on this sumptuous near-Gem are aglow with satiny yellow-orange luster, as are the broad fields. A strikingly appealing example of this Philadelphia issue, minimally abraded save for a few small faults in the right obverse field and a tiny ding below the O in OF on the reverse. NGC has graded just five numerically finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1894-S $20 MS62 Prooflike NGC. The yellow-orange fields of this sharply struck S-mint twenty are fantastically reflective. The abrasions around the devices are mostly light, though a long mark near Liberty's eye precludes Select status. Census: 8 in 62 Prooflike, 1 finer (10/09).
1895 $20 MS64 PCGS. Rich golden patina permeates the unusually clean, boldly defined surfaces. This is one date that is almost impossible to locate in finer grades. PCGS has only certified two finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1896-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Boldly impressed with strong yellow-orange luster. Though a handful of abrasions are present on Liberty's cheek, the overall eye appeal is solid for the MS63 grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1896-S $20 MS63 PCGS. A shining Select example of this later 19th century San Francisco issue. The yellow-gold surfaces show orange accents and a handful of grade-defining flaws, such as the shallow scrape passing below Liberty's chin.(Registry values: N1793)
1897 $20 MS63 NGC. A straw-gold double eagle with coruscating luster and only a single consequential mark, concealed on the upright of the D in DOLLARS.(Registry values: N991)
1897 $20 MS64 NGC. CAC. Sharply struck with a measure of frostiness to the luster. Yellow-gold is the principal color, though occasional sun-gold hues are also visible. NGC has graded just 12 numerically finer pieces (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1897 $20 MS64 NGC. A flashy example whose sharp strike and uncharacteristically smooth surfaces are certain to encourage floor bidding. The combined forces of NGC and PCGS have certified only 14 pieces in higher grades.

1897 $20 MS64 NGC. CAC. Exquisitely struck devices and lustrous peach-gold surfaces generate considerable eye appeal. A few minor grazes deny Gem designation. Extremely difficult to locate finer than MS64.(Registry values: N2998)
1897-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Hints of salmon toning grace the sharp design motifs of this important piece. PCGS has only certified six finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)

1898 $20 MS62 PCGS. A well struck example with a carefully preserved reverse. The lower obverse has a faint fingerprint. The upper reverse legends have several heavy die cracks, as made. The mintage of 170,395 pieces was the lowest Philadelphia output since 1892.(Registry values: N1793)
1898-S $20 MS64 NGC. The 1898-S is an abundantly available Type Three S-mint twenty. And yet, its upper-end availability is usually limited to the MS64 grade range. This is a pleasing, lustrous example that has even, reddish patina over each side. The striking definition is strong over both obverse and reverse, and the only mentionable mark is located just below the eye of Liberty.(Registry values: N1793)
1898-S $20 MS64 PCGS. A flashy Choice double eagle with rich butter-gold color and a bold strike. A few faint luster grazes typify the grade. An Uncirculated 1898-S is readily collectible, but most such examples grade between MS61 and MS63.(Registry values: N1793)
1898-S $20 MS64 PCGS. A charming green-gold Choice Type Three twenty that displays vibrant luster and a good strike. The reverse is splendidly smooth, and the obverse has only wispy grazes.(Registry values: N1793)
1898-S $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1898-S double eagle is readily available in all grades through near-Gem. Gems are scarce and finer grade pieces are extremely rare. Bright luster exudes from peach-gold surfaces imbued with hints of light green and a decisive strike imparts sharp detail to the design features, save for the usual softness in the first few obverse stars. A few grade-consistent marks are unbothersome. Population: 74 in 65, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1899 $20 MS64 NGC. CAC. Strongly struck and satiny with primarily gold-orange color that fades into lighter wheat-gold at the central obverse. Minimally abraded and highly appealing.(Registry values: N1793)
1899 $20 MS64 NGC. Impressively detailed with a few dots of reddish alloy against the orange-gold surfaces, most noticeably at the eagle's right (facing) wing. Strong luster with a few rim abrasions noted in the date area.(Registry values: N1793)

1900 $20 MS64 NGC. This crisply struck near-Gem has vibrant luster and a paucity of marks. The date is readily obtained in bagmarked condition, but examples of the present quality are desirable. Encased in a former generation holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1900 $20 MS64 NGC. This near-Gem is awash in flashy luster and exhibits sharply struck design elements. Brass-gold surfaces reveal grade-defining obverse marks. The 1900 becomes becomes extremely difficult to locate any finer than MS64.(Registry values: N1793)

1901 $20 MS65 NGC. MS65 is the finest grade most collectors are likely to encounter of the 1901 double eagle. Only three pieces have been graded higher, all PCGS MS66s (9/09). The fields of this Gem are mostly orange-gold, while the central devices display lighter shades of brass-gold. A few light, inoffensive alloy spots are visible, a characteristic of the date. Lustrous surfaces are sharply struck throughout and reveal a few small bagmarks. The first 1 in the date is repunched at the base and below the flag.

1901 $20 MS65 NGC. Because of the discovery of a large hoard a few years ago, the 1901 is one of the more obtainable Type Three double eagles from the Philadelphia Mint in high Mint State grades. The lustrous peach-gold surfaces of this Gem display often seen mint-made toning spots and well struck devices. Light marks are undistracting. The first 1 in the date is repunched at the base.

1901 $20 MS65 PCGS. Though the 1901 Philadelphia Mint twenty has a rather low mintage (111,430 circulation strikes) for its era, many were preserved in European vaults, resulting in numerous extant specimens through the MS64 level of preservation. Localized splashes of soft sky-blue and lilac blush the apricot-gold surfaces of this Gem, and an exacting strike sharpens the design elements. Some grade-consistent marks on the lustrous surfaces are undisturbing. This is the variety with the first 1 in the date repunched.

1901 $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1901 Liberty Head double eagle boasts a small mintage of 111,400 pieces, but many were preserved in European banks. The issue is available in all grades up to MS65, but coins above the Gem level are extremely rare. Only three examples have been certified in grades above MS65 by NGC and PCGS combined (10/09). The outstanding feature of the present coin is its impressive strike. Fine detail is present on all design elements, especially Liberty's hair. The surfaces are frosty and lustrous, only a few minor marks on the cheek prevent an even higher grade. Housed in a green label PCGS holder.(Registry values: N2998)
1903 $20 MS64 PCGS. Highly lustrous with frosty mint brilliance, this Choice Mint State twenty has attractive yellow-gold surfaces.(Registry values: N1793)
1903 $20 MS65 ICG. Rich peach-gold patination is tinted with whispers of greenish-gray and apricot and a well executed strike lends razor-sharp definition to the design features. A few grade-consistent marks do not take away from the coin's pleasing overall eye appeal. Large hoards discovered over the last few decades make the 1903 one of the most available dates of the Liberty Head type. Virtually unobtainable above MS65.(Registry values: N2998)
1903 $20 MS65 PCGS. Subtle hints of light green visit the yellow-gold surfaces of this pleasing Gem. Lustrous surfaces exhibit sharply impressed design features and are precluded from an even finer grade by a few small marks. The 1903 is plentiful through near-Gem but becomes more difficult in MS65. Anything finer is virtually unobtainable.(Registry values: N2998)
1903 $20 MS65 NGC. A solid strike delivers exquisite definition to the design elements of this Gem twenty dollar. Both sides are awash with coruscating luster and display an attractive yellow-gold patination imbued with whispers of barely discernible mint-green.

1903 $20 MS62 Prooflike NGC. Both sides are profoundly reflective with an almost chromelike gleam in pale yellow-gold. Excellent detail, though the fields are moderately abraded. A thin horizontal mark crosses the cheek, while the reverse shows a significant rim mark above the second T of STATES.
1903-S $20 MS61 Prooflike NGC. Decisively struck with profoundly mirrored fields. The broad yellow-gold expanses show a number of light to moderate abrasions that are "played up" by the reflectivity to a certain extent.
1904 $20 MS64 NGC. CAC. The 1904 is the most common date in the Liberty double eagle, and examples are available in all grades. For that reason, careful attention to quality is especially critical when selecting an example. This is just such a piece with brilliant yellow luster and exceptional surfaces for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)

1904 $20 MS64 NGC. A beautiful yellow-gold Choice double eagle that has a gorgeously smooth reverse and only one consequential obverse mark, between stars 5 and 6. This decade, gold coins have provided a safe haven relative to stock market turmoil.(Registry values: N1793)

The 1904 is the uncontested common date in the Liberty double eagle series, but even the 1904 is hard to find in such amazing condition.(Registry values: N2998)
1904 $20 MS65 NGC. The 1904 double eagle has a reputation for high-quality production: it is generally well struck, has nice luster and pleasing color, and is devoid of alloy spots. The present Gem offering possesses all of these attributes. Its yellow-gold surfaces are tinted with light tan, are somewhat frosty, and minimally abraded. All of this adds up to great overall eye appeal and an exceptional choice for a high-grade type collection.

1904 $20 MS65 PCGS. A common date, the 1904 has a mintage of more than 6 million coins, far greater than any other Liberty double eagle.

This Gem has bold design details and brilliant greenish-gold luster, accented by orange toning.(Registry values: N2998)
1904-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Crisply defined at the centers, if a trifle softly struck on the obverse stars. This yellow-gold near-Gem is pleasingly lustrous, though the portrait shows several abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1906 $20 MS62 PCGS. With a tiny original mintage of 69,500 pieces, Q. David Bowers reports "the 1906 remains a key date in the context of later-date Liberty Head double eagles." The present coin has a better than average strike, with fine definition on the peripheral elements. The surfaces show pleasing satiny luster, with rich reddish-gold color. A scattering of individually insignificant handling marks is consistent with the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1906 $20 MS62 ICG. A scarce 20th century Liberty double eagle, the 1906 had an original mintage of only 69,500 coins. This piece has pink highlights over frosty greenish-yellow luster.(Registry values: N1793)

1906-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Lustrous peach-gold surface exhibit sharply struck design elements. Scattered light marks define the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1906-S $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1906-S is reasonably available through MS63 but becomes scarce in near-Gem. Gem and better pieces are infrequently seen. The lustrous peach-gold surfaces of this near-Gem display hints of light green and tan and are sharply impressed. Some light grazes preclude Gem designation.(Registry values: N2998)
1907-D $20 MS64 ★ NGC. CAC. From a modest mintage of 842,250 pieces, the 1907-D Liberty Head double eagle is a scarce issue in the context of the later series. The 1907-D is popular as the last issue of the design type at the Denver Mint. The present coin features bright, semiprooflike fields and an impressive strike. All design elements are fully brought up. The surfaces are remarkably free of handling marks, suggestive of an even higher grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1907-D $20 MS64 PCGS. Effulgent yellow-orange luster dominates the eye appeal of this well-defined near-Gem. Minimally abraded, even by the standards of the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1907-D $20 MS64 PCGS. Here is an important Denver Mint Liberty double eagle, housed in a green-label PCGS holder. This Choice Mint State piece has sensational luster and surfaces, with brilliant yellow gold at the center, and olive-gold near the border. It is only the presence of a few trivial surface marks that keep this piece from a Gem grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1907-D $20 MS65 PCGS. While not a rare issue by 20th century twenty Lib standards, the 1907-D is one of only two Denver coins available for type collectors. This is a marvelous example and the mint luster is even more pronounced than the usual type coin for the series, the 1904. Additionally, the surfaces are free from any singularly distracting abrasions, and the reddish patina has a slight intermingling of lilac on the obverse.(Registry values: N2998)
Proof Liberty Double Eagles
1885 $20 PR61 Ultra Cameo NGC. CAC. Business strike double eagles of 1885 were produced to the extent of only 751 coins, a memorably low number, even if not as small as the 571 circulation strikes made in 1882. Accordingly, the 1885 business strike is extremely elusive in high grade, putting added pressure on proofs of this date. This PR61 example is one of only 77 proofs produced for the 1885. This piece is one of only 11 proof 1885s graded in total at NGC. Four of those are Ultra Cameos, with this example exceeded by three other coins (10/09). The surfaces of this proof show considerable contact both in the fields and on the devices, mostly on the obverse, thus the PR61 grade. However, the splendid, profound cameo contrast makes partial amends. The fields display distinctive orange-peel effect. This effect is seen on many, if not most proof gold coins from roughly 1870 to 1900. It was caused by annealing the gold planchets in a furnace that had previously been heated to a higher temperature for a base metal. The annealing furnace had not cooled sufficiently for the lower temperature required for gold planchets, creating a crinkled or orange-peel effect. This piece retains considerable appeal despite its low grade, as evidenced by the CAC designation. Census: 1 in 61 Ultra Cameo, 3 finer (10/09).(Registry values: P5)
High Relief Double Eagles
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU58 specimen that has been cleaned. Despite the past cleaning and a touch of rub on the highest parts of the devices, the essential majesty of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle design is undiminished. The central figures show only a handful of small abrasions.
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc. Details. This impressive example is boldly struck and lacks any indication of wear on the highpoints of the wing, chest, and knee. The luster is satiny and there are no abrasions, but the butter-gold surfaces are slightly bright. An opportunity to acquire a High Relief with full design detail at an obtainable price.(Registry values: N4719)
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 PCGS. CAC. The MCMVII High Relief double eagle has been a numismatic icon for more than a century. The issue is prized by collectors for its unique beauty and colorful story. Collectors and investors alike pursue the issue, and some numismatists who collect no other gold coins avidly seek out an example of this American classic. The present coin is an example of the Wire Rim variety, featuring a knifelike, raised fin around the edge of both sides of the coin. The rim is irregular, being higher at some points than others. This feature is common on High Reliefs, and was caused by the metal squeezed out of the dies by repeated blows of the coining press, necessary to bring up the design features. The problem was eventually solved by adjusting the milling and diameter of the planchets.
The coin offered here is fully struck, with soft satiny mint luster. The color is a subdued yellow-gold, with a milky reddish tint on the left reverse surface, around the eagle. There are no obvious contact marks, but a tiny dark speck is noted in the left obverse field.(Registry values: N7079)

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS65 NGC. CAC. The magnificent Saint-Gaudens High Relief double eagles of 1907 have been classified in the literature into two distinct categories: Wire Rim and Flat Rim. The Wire Rim coins were struck first, with about 8,000 pieces featuring a distinctive partial rim, or fin, around the edge of the coin. This feature was eliminated by adjusting the size and milling of the planchets to better fit the dies. In A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins, Q. David Bowers quotes a communication from Roger Burdette:
The Wire Rim was considered a separate variety for many years, although the feature was not due to the use of different dies. Early catalogers made sure to differentiate between the two subtypes whenever a specimen was offered at public auction. An example of an early description from the Sloane, Lenz and Others Collection (Thomas Elder, 1/1936), lot 1275, reads:
The Wire Rim has become a prized feature many collectors because of its unique appearance and history.
The present coin is an especially attractive Wire Rim specimen, with rich, satiny luster over matte textured surfaces. The bright yellow-gold color is softened by shades of russet. The strike is sharp, as expected on a High Relief, with only some weakness on the stars, as mentioned by Burdette. No marks are noted with the naked eye. Visual appeal is striking.(Registry values: N7079)
"When the Philadelphia Mint switched to a milling/diameter combination suggested by Frank A. Leach about December 18, 1907, the subsequent coins were free of fin and had better definition to the stars."

Proof High Relief Double Eagles
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim PR64 NGC. The proof status of the MCMVII High Reliefs is a point of disagreement between NGC and PCGS, with only NGC certifying proofs. Dr. Robert Loewinger and NGC use the extremely sharp strike and swirling die polish lines in the fields to be among the chief determinants for proofs, and those criteria are on rich and abundant display on the present near-Gem. The reddish tinted surfaces are satiny, as usual, and somewhat mattelike in appearance, with the die polish particularly noticeable in the obverse fields. The lack of significant contact noted throughout makes this piece seem high-end for the assigned grade. A lovely example of a coin generally considered to be the United States' most beautiful numismatic creation.
Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS63 PCGS. Rich yellow-gold luster dominates the eye appeal of this Select example. Scattered shallow abrasions appear at the rims and in the fields, and a mark is also noted at Liberty's knee. Striking softness is visible in that area as well.(Registry values: N991)
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS63 PCGS. Flashy luster is pale canary-yellow overall with occasional hints of deeper color. Well struck with assorted marks and a few flattened areas in the rays below the eagle.(Registry values: N991)
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS64 NGC. Bright luster invigorates this yellow-gold near-Gem. Sharply struck, evident from Liberty's fingers, the panes on the Capitol dome, and the eagle's plumage. Minuscule marks deny Gem status.(Registry values: N1793)
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS64 PCGS. Smooth yellow gold surfaces exhibit exquisitely struck design features and pleasing luster. Minor marks prevent Gem status.(Registry values: N1793)
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS64 NGC. Impressive sun-yellow and wheat-gold luster dominates the eye appeal of this noteworthy near-Gem. The well-defined devices show few marks of any significance.(Registry values: N1793)
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS65 PCGS. A clean and lustrous example of this popular and somewhat scarcer first year of issue for the Saint-Gaudens double eagle design. The deep red-orange color overlays satiny, faintly granular-textured surfaces. The devices are sharply struck throughout. Almost all of the few scattered blemishes are trivial in nature, except for a small scrape in the field just below the eagle's breast. A highly attractive and impressively preserved Gem.(Registry values: N2998)
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS65 PCGS. Though Liberty's hands show slight striking softness, the eagle has uniformly crisp detail. Yellow-gold surfaces show considerable orange overtones as well as hints of pink and lilac. A strongly lustrous Gem representative of this first-year issue, available for a price in MS65 but elusive any finer.(Registry values: N2998)
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS66 ★ NGC. When the Roman Numerals, High Relief design proved unsuitable for mass production, Charles Barber modified the double eagle design to a much lower relief, making large mintage totals possible. Near the end of the year, 361,667 of these Arabic Numerals double eagles were minted. The date is popular as a first-date-of-issue coin and only 19 examples have been certified finer than MS66 by both NGC and PCGS combined (10/09). This example is remarkable, with satin luster and exceptional yellow and orange coloration.(Registry values: N2998)
1908 $20 No Motto MS65 PCGS. Short Rays Obverse. A coruscating and nicely struck example. The reverse is splendidly unabraded, and obverse marks are relatively unobtrusive. Congressmen insisted upon the return of the Motto in 1908, although the Buffalo nickel (first issued five years later) escaped such scrutiny.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $20 No Motto MS65 PCGS. Long Rays Obverse. A green-gold Gem from the second and final year of the No Motto subtype. Both sides are smooth, and satin luster is comprehensive.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $20 No Motto MS65 PCGS. Short Rays Obverse, identified by the length of the rays near the branch stem. A crisply struck Gem with green-gold toning and an absence of consequential abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $20 No Motto MS65 PCGS. Long Rays Obverse. Splashes of deep orange ensure the originality of this lustrous and powerfully struck Gem. A minimally abraded and attractive gold type coin.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $20 No Motto MS66 PCGS. Greenish-apricot surfaces display full luster and a pleasing grainy or matte-like finish, a condition seen on many examples of this issue. Sharply struck and well preserved. PCGS has only certified 52 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1908 $20 No Motto MS66 PCGS. Ex: Wells Fargo. A splendid Premium Gem from the incredible Wells Fargo hoard discovered several years ago. This piece is fully brilliant with highly lustrous mint frost and exceptional surfaces. The strike is a little shy of complete, but much finer than usual for the issue. PCGS has only certified 52 finer examples (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1908-D $20 No Motto MS63 NGC. A decisive strike imparts sharp detail to the design motifs, including Liberty's fingers and toes, the Capitol building, and the eagle's feathers. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit pleasing luster, and reveal some moderate abrasions on the lower reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
1908-D $20 No Motto MS63 NGC. Soft luster exudes from the honey-gold surfaces of this well struck Select specimen. Scattered light marks define the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1908-D $20 No Motto MS63 PCGS. A solid strike emboldens the design features of this Select D-mint representative. Light handling marks on the yellow-gold surfaces deny a finer grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $20 Motto MS63 NGC. Both sides of this honey-gold Select twenty possess soft frosty luster and exhibit well struck design elements. Light surface and rim marks limit the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1908 $20 Motto MS64 PCGS. A well executed strike manifests itself in sharp detail in the panes of the Capitol building and Liberty's branch hand, and pleasing luster exudes from yellow-gold surfaces. A few minuscule marks prevent Gem classification. This issue is distinctive in that the sun's rays were reduced by one to total 33 and a ninth feather was added to the eagle's tail.(Registry values: N2998)
1908 $20 Motto MS65 PCGS. Millions of No Motto double eagles were struck at Philadelphia in 1908, but far fewer of their Motto counterparts were produced in the same year. Enough pieces exist to satisfy demand in circulated and lesser Mint State grades, but Garrett and Guth caution that "These coins are a considerable rarity in gem grades," and the population data bear this out. The present Gem is crisply detailed with gorgeous wheat-gold luster. Its preservation and eye appeal are equally impressive. PCGS has graded 40 examples at the MS65 level and a mere 10 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N7079)
1908-D $20 Motto MS63 NGC. Sharply struck, evidenced from fullness on the panes of the Capitol building, Liberty's fingers, and the eagle's plumage. Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces reveal a few minute grade-defining marks.(Registry values: N991)
1909 $20 MS62 PCGS. Strong yellow-gold luster with alloy visible to the left of Liberty and on her highest design features. An abrasion on her upper leg contributes to the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1909/8 $20 MS62 PCGS. FS-301. The 1909/8 is one of few known 20th century overdates. The die received an impression from a 1908 hub, and then received a second impression from a 1909 hub. Lustrous apricot-gold surfaces display splashes of greenish-gray and exhibit sharply struck design elements. Scattered light marks define the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1909/8 $20 MS62 PCGS. FS-301. Variegated peach-gold and mint-green patina resides on the lustrous surfaces of this scarce overdate specimen. A well executed strike imparts strong definition to the design elements, including Liberty's branch hand, the Capitol building, and the eagle's plumage. Light scattered marks, the norm for this issue, limit the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1909-S $20 MS64 NGC. This delightful near-Gem exhibits sharply struck motifs and pleasing luster. Minute marks preclude Gem classification.(Registry values: N1793)
1910 $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Whispers of light green are embedded in the lustrous peach-gold surfaces. Sharply struck and minimally abraded.(Registry values: N1793)
1910-D $20 MS64 NGC. Exquisite detail is apparent on the design elements of this near-Gem. Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces display a few grade-consistent marks.(Registry values: N991)
1910-D $20 MS65 PCGS. From a moderate mintage of 429,000 pieces, the 1910-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle is available in grades up to MS65. Above the Gem level, the issue is rare and expensive. The present coin features brilliant, lustrous surfaces, with an especially sharp strike. This offering represents a good combination of eye appeal, scarcity and value for the knowledgeable collector.(Registry values: N2998)
1911 $20 MS62 NGC. Attractive, subtle satiny luster envelops the yellow-gold surfaces imbued with traces of greenish-tan. This is a well struck piece that reveals a few minor surface and rim marks.(Registry values: N1793)
1911 $20 MS63 PCGS. A brilliant and fully lustrous example of this scarce, lower mintage issue. Both sides have excellent surfaces for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1911 $20 MS64 ICG. Strongly struck with rich yellow-gold surfaces that showcase satiny luster. Though a small mark on Liberty's lower leg precludes a better designation, the overall eye appeal is high for a near-Gem. An excellent example of an issue available for a price in MS64 but conditionally scarce any finer.(Registry values: N2998)
1911-D $20 MS66 NGC. Immensely lustrous with pale yellow-gold color overall, though the obverse has suggestions of deeper hues. Strongly struck on most of the devices, though the top of Liberty's torch is less defined. The 1911-D twenty is available for a price even in MS66, though finer coins are condition rarities.(Registry values: N2998)
1911-D/D $20 MS64 PCGS. FS-501, formerly FS-1911.5. The mintmark is boldly repunched east. This obverse die coined a significant portion of Uncirculated survivors for this early Denver Mint issue. Well struck and satiny with unblemished apricot-gold fields and devices.
1911-S $20 MS64 NGC. Bold wheat-gold luster shows a touch of frostiness. This near-Gem is well-defined in the centers, though the fine details of the borders are difficult to discern.(Registry values: N1793)
1911-S $20 MS65 PCGS. From a respectable mintage of 775,750 pieces, the 1911-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is an available issue in grades up to MS65. Above the Gem level the date is rare. All 1911-S double eagles have slightly granular surfaces, similar to the matte proofs of the era. The present coin is sharply struck, with liberty's nose and toes well defined. The surfaces exhibit strong satiny luster, with attractive orange-gold color.(Registry values: N2998)
1911-S $20 MS65 NGC. The 1911-S, with a mintage approaching 800,000 pieces, is available through MS65. NGC and PCGS have certified fewer than 60 Premium Gems and virtually nothing finer. Satiny luster embraces this MS65 specimen and a solid strike imparts crisp definition to the design features. Nicely preserved throughout and highly appealing.(Registry values: N2998)
1912 $20 MS62 NGC. Honey-gold lustrous surfaces exhibit sharply struck design elements, including the panes in the Capitol building and the fingers on Liberty's branch hand. Small surface and rim marks preclude a higher grade.(Registry values: N991)
1912 $20 MS63 PCGS. Pleasingly lustrous with rich gold-orange color. The obverse shows few abrasions for the grade, though the eagle's wings show a few marks and scrapes.(Registry values: N1793)
1912 $20 MS63 PCGS. Subtle yellow-gold luster overall with a few alloy streaks at the lower reverse. A well struck Select coin with faint abrasions overall and slight discoloration on the high points.(Registry values: N1793)
1912 $20 MS63 PCGS. Attractive yellow-gold color with wheat accents. This MS63 coin is pleasingly lustrous, though striking softness is noted on the figure of Liberty, which also shows a handful of significant abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1912 $20 MS63 ICG. Warm yellow-gold luster shows occasional orange elements. This well struck piece has a significant abrasion midway up Liberty's left (facing) leg that accounts for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1913 $20 MS62 NGC. Strongly struck with attractive luster. Though the obverse shows a number of abrasions which preclude Select status, the reverse is comparatively clean.(Registry values: N1793)
1913-S $20 MS62 PCGS. A gorgeous orange-gold double eagle with frosty surfaces and brilliant luster; the strike is somewhat weak at the borders, but bold at the center. Only 34,000 of these coins were minted, a low mintage for any Saint. Despite the mintage, examples of this issue are frequently encountered in lower Mint State grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. A small mintage of 95,200 business strike Saint-Gaudens double eagles was achieved at the Philadelphia Mint in 1914, the smallest production total of the With Motto type. Thanks to its presence in hoards, the issue is available in grades up to the Gem level today. The present coin is an attractive specimen, sharply struck, with frosty mint luster. The surfaces are a pleasing orange-gold, with a minimum of handling marks for the grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $20 MS63 PCGS. Splashes of soft mint-green visit the peach-gold surfaces of this Select double eagle and a decisive strike leaves sharp detail on the design elements, including the panes of the Capitol building, Liberty's fingers, and the eagle's feathers. A few minute marks preclude a finer grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $20 MS63 PCGS. Intense sun-yellow luster dominates the eye appeal of this Select piece, which hails from a Philadelphia issue with a five-figure mintage. Though both sides show a number of light abrasions, including one just below Liberty's waist, the overall eye appeal is consistent with the grade assigned.(Registry values: N1793)
1914 $20 MS64 PCGS. The orange-tinged centers are framed by the pastel lime-green borders. The reverse is well preserved, and the obverse field has only faint abrasions. The low mintage of the 1914 (only 95,200 pieces) has long made the issue a favorite of speculators. Although Uncirculated examples are collectible, Gems are undeniably rare.(Registry values: N2998)
1914-D $20 MS65 NGC. This attractive Gem displays pleasing luster and well struck devices. Light grade-consistent marks do not detract.(Registry values: N2998)
1914-D $20 MS66 NGC. While the 1914-D twenty is much more plentiful than the 1914, it is still a rarity in higher grades, from a mintage of just 453,000 coins. At the top grade levels, the 1914-D keeps going strong, with extremely low populations in MS66 or finer grades. Satiny yellow-gold surfaces provide a base for the delicate orange-gold toning. Census: 37 in 66, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1914-D $20 MS67 NGC. Only three submissions of 1914-D double eagles have ever received the lofty MS67 grade, with none finer. This amazing Superb Gem has exceptional orange-gold luster with brilliant mint frost, along with the typical granular appearing surfaces that are common to all examples of this issue. The surfaces are pristine and the strike is bold. The connoisseur who appreciates the best possible quality will be delighted with this amazing piece. Opportunities such as this rarely come along. Since 1993, we have offered 940 examples of the issue in our auctions, but only one other MS67.(Registry values: N1)
1915 $20 MS64 NGC. The 1915 twenty is available through MS63 and can be located in near-Gem with patience. Gems are challenging and higher grade pieces are virtually unobtainable. This MS64 coin is awash in pleasing luster and exhibits well struck design motifs. Soft hues of variegated peach-gold, mint-green, lilac, and apricot bathe both sides, each of which reveals some minute contact marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1915-S $20 MS65 NGC. An outstanding sun-gold Gem that boasts dynamic luster and unblemished surfaces. A few panes on the Capitol building are indistinct, but the strike is generally crisp. Liberty's face is particularly well brought up. Much nicer than the usual bag-abraded Uncirculated '15-S.(Registry values: N1793)
1916-S $20 MS64 NGC. A well-defined near-Gem example from the final double eagle issue before the World War I hiatus in gold coinage. Modestly abraded yellow-orange surfaces are pleasingly lustrous, though a scrape is noted at the center of Liberty's figure.(Registry values: N1793)
1916-S $20 MS64 NGC. This pleasing near-Gem has lovely light lemon toning and an absence of consequential contact. Hardly a rarity, but examples of the present quality are always in demand. Certified in a prior generation holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1916-S $20 MS65 NGC. CAC. A substantial mintage of 796,000 Saint-Gaudens double eagles was achieved at the San Francisco Mint in 1916, the only twenty dollar coinage for the year, and the last at any facility until 1920. The issue was present in a Central American hoard in 1983, but those coins have been absorbed, and the 1916-S is considered a slightly better date today. The present coin exhibits exquisite mint luster with remarkably clean fields and a few light handling marks on the eagle's wings. Attractive, even orange-gold patina is seen over each side.(Registry values: N1793)
1920 $20 MS63 PCGS. Faint traces of pink enhance the brilliant yellow surfaces of this attractive Saint. Both sides have trivial grade-consistent marks. An attractive and highly appealing representative.(Registry values: N991)
1920 $20 MS63 PCGS. This peach-gold representative possesses swirling luster and a good strike. Scattered small to moderate marks correspond to the grade. The lower mintage 1920 provides excellent value relative to common Philadelphia dates from the mid-1920s.(Registry values: N991)
1920 $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. This is an extremely important opportunity to acquire a 1920 double eagle in the finest available grade, with only one PCGS certified coin in a higher (MS65) grade. This piece has frosty yellow luster with traces of faint pink toning. A few trivial grade-consistent marks prevent a higher grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1920 $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1920 Saint-Gaudens double eagle has been considered a common date based on the 228,250 coin mintage. However, population data tells an entirely different story, especially in grades above the present piece. In fact, PCGS has only certified one finer coin (11/09)! This borderline Gem is extremely close to the next grade level. It exhibits frosty yellow luster and sharp detail with only a few tiny marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 $20 MS65 PCGS. A radiant and lustrous Gem that boasts a powerful strike and uncommonly clean surfaces. The eye appeal is exception despite a speck or two of struck-in grease near the E in AMERICA. Nearly unobtainable any finer, since PCGS has certified only seven pieces above the MS65 level (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
1922 $20 MS65 ICG. Strongly struck with bright yellow-gold luster that takes on elements of wheat. Both sides show a scattering of tiny marks with a few more noticeable abrasions on the upper feathers.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 $20 MS65 ICG. Well-defined with smooth and attractive luster, deeper straw-gold with touches of honey. A shallow dig is noted near 3 o'clock on the obverse rim.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 $20 MS65 ICG. Aside from slight softness on Liberty's torch and that hand, this is a well-defined Gem. Sun-gold color prevails on the lustrous, lightly marked surfaces.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 $20 MS65 ICG. Strong yellow-gold and wheat color with orange overtones close to the rims. The luster is intense with a distinctly frosty dimension. A small mark is present just below Liberty's right (facing) knee.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 $20 MS65 PCGS. Intense luster radiates from both sides of this gorgeous Gem that displays soft apricot-gold patination. An exacting strike delivers complete detail to the design features and the surfaces have been well cared for, enhancing the coin's eye appeal. Virtually unobtainable above the MS65 grade level.(Registry values: N2998)
1922 $20 MS66 NGC. A bold striking with peerless, satiny surfaces that radiate outstanding luster from both obverse and reverse. Even close inspection reveals only the slightest luster grazes. Delicate orange patina combines with subtle pink highlights to provide equally impressive color. While hardly a scarcity in grades up to and including MS64, a considerably smaller number of Gems survive and Premium Gems such as this example provide an extraordinary challenge for the quality conscious buyer of Saint-Gaudens twenties. Census: 8 in 66, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1922-S $20 MS61 NGC. A well executed strike imparts strong definition to the design elements, including Liberty's fingers, the panes on the Capitol building, and the eagle's feathers. Yellow-gold surfaces display a nearly unbroken luster flow despite the scattering of light to moderate abrasions.(Registry values: N1793)
1922-S $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1922-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a high-mintage date, with more than 2.6 million pieces coined. The great majority of these coins were melted after the Gold Recall of 1933, and the issue is a better date today, with most Uncirculated examples in lower Mint State grades. Q. David Bowers notes, "Nice MS64 coins are elusive, and anything finer remains a rarity." PCGS has certified only 12 specimens in higher grades (10/09). The present coin is well struck, with the characteristic inner rim on the reverse, due to die bulging. The surfaces are unabraded, with attractive orange highlights.(Registry values: N2998)
1923-D $20 MS65 PCGS. This impressive Gem offers lime-green peripheries and apricot-tinged centers. Well struck, and gorgeously unabraded save for a mark on the left border of the sun. Certified in a green label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1923-D $20 MS65 PCGS. With a reported mintage of 1.7 million pieces, the 1923-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle is one of the most easily located dates of the series. Prized as a mintmark issue that is available in high grade, the 1923-D is avidly pursued by type collectors. The present coin is sharply struck, with minimal abrasions. The surfaces are accented by shades of deep orange-gold and crimson.(Registry values: N1793)
1923-D $20 MS67 NGC. The 1923-D is the archetypal Saint-Gaudens issue for collectors who desire a mintmarked piece in the finest grade possible. Fortunately, examples are available up to the Superb Gem level, and NGC has even certified one specimen in MS68. The 39 examples certified by NGC at this level make it the commonest mintmarked issue in MS67, with the 1911-D a close second, at 31 coins. Radiant, glorious cartwheel luster over the orange-gold surfaces is this coin's chief attribute, complementing pristine preservation and the bold strike normally seen.(Registry values: N4719)
1924 $20 MS65 PCGS. The radiantly lustrous surfaces of this wonderful Gem display variegated rich orange-gold and yellow patination. Frosty luster embraces both sides of this minimally abraded example.(Registry values: N1793)
1924 $20 MS65 PCGS. Whispers of frostiness enhance the obverse of this shining Gem, which hails from a collector-favorite issue. Well-defined with a few shallow scrapes on Liberty's leg.(Registry values: N1793)
1924 $20 MS65 PCGS. Flashy luster emanates from the yellow-gold surfaces of this impressive Gem. Exquisitely struck and minimally abraded.(Registry values: N1793)
1924 $20 MS65 PCGS. Bright luster exudes from the yellow-gold surfaces of this magnificent Gem, and a well executed strike manifests itself in sharpness on the design motifs, including Liberty's fingers, the panes of the Capitol building, and the eagle's plumage. A handful of grade-consistent marks subtracts nothing from the coin's eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. Bold yellow-orange color with a degree of alloy found in the rays just below the eagle's body. A sharply struck Premium Gem that offers beautiful luster.

1924 $20 MS66 PCGS. While the faintly green-gold obverse has more subtle luster than usually seen for this popular type issue, the reverse is flashy. Well-defined with a single graze noted at Liberty's upper gown.

1924 $20 MS66 PCGS. Potent luster and great yellow-gold color make for dynamic eye appeal. This would make an ideal type coin, since it has a distinctly better appearance than would be had on a lower-graded piece.

1924 $20 MS66 PCGS. Light straw and wheat color prevails on the obverse, while the reverse of this Premium Gem has deeper yellow-gold shadings. Lustrous and attractive, a great example for the type collector.

1924 $20 MS66 PCGS. Rich yellow-orange color characterizes the slightly satiny obverse, while the reverse is more flashy and has a brighter yellow sheen. A few small ticks on the leg preclude an even finer designation.

1924 $20 MS66 NGC. The 1924 is no stranger to the auction floor, but the present lustrous canary-gold example has attractive surfaces and a bold strike. Seldom encountered above the MS66 level.(Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. A handsome Premium Gem whose highly lustrous fields and devices offer light peach patina. The strike is exemplary on Liberty's face and fingers, and neither side has any reportable marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. Bold yellow-gold luster shows occasional wheat and straw accents. Strongly struck both in the centers and at the margins, though the top of Liberty's torch is a trifle soft.(Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. Peach and yellow-gold coloration occupies the flashy lustrous surfaces of this sharply struck Premium Gem double eagle. A few light contact marks are noted, more so on the reverse.(Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. A solid strike delivers virtually complete definition to the design features of this Premium Gem. Radiantly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces reveal no significant marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. A shining Premium Gem, mostly deep sun-yellow with a few areas of paler color. Well-defined with two small abrasions on Liberty's leg that preclude an even finer designation.(Registry values: N2998)
1924-D $20 MS63 PCGS. The 1924-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle is an issue that illustrates the high mintage/low surviving population phenomenon so prevalent in the series. In spite of the hefty mintage of 3 million pieces, the 1924-D is quite scarce in Mint State today. Most coins were probably held in domestic banks as reserves and melted in the 1930s. This MS63 example offers flashy luster over orange-gold surfaces, with a few minor abrasions consistent with the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
1924-D $20 MS63 PCGS. The yellow-gold surfaces of this Select twenty exude bright luster and possess sharply struck design elements, including the peripheries that often suffer from worn dies on this issue. Scattered light marks prevent a finer grade. MS64 is about as nice as a collector can hope to secure.(Registry values: N2998)
1924-D $20 MS64 PCGS. A great example of this challenging but popular later mintmarked Saint-Gaudens twenty, well-defined overall with only slight softness on the torch hand. The slightly varied yellow-gold luster is warm and inviting. Minimally marked save for a single vertical abrasion in the left obverse field. PCGS has certified just 11 coins finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1924-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Nearly 3 million S-Mint double eagles were coined in 1924, but few were released, and examples are elusive in all grades. However, those that do appear on the market are usually about the same quality as the present piece. Frosty mint brilliance accompanies the greenish-gold luster with faint orange toning. Both sides have minor abrasions, but none are singularly evident.(Registry values: N2998)
1924-S $20 MS63 PCGS. An important date in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, despite one of the largest mintages in the series. Almost 3 million examples were minted at the San Francisco Mint in 1924, but few of those were actually released. The majority remained in Mint or Treasury vaults to meet the fate in the government melting pot of the 1930s. This piece is a pleasing light yellow example with traces of pale pink and green patina. The surfaces have minor grade-consistent marks.(Registry values: N2998)
1925 $20 MS65 NGC. A boldly impressed and flashy example of this Philadelphia issue, a slightly unorthodox but thoroughly respectable choice for the type collector. Gleaming yellow-gold surfaces show tiny ticks and a small abraded area on the upper gown.(Registry values: N1793)
1925 $20 MS65 PCGS. Frosty luster endows each side of this exquisitely struck Gem and peach-gold patina reveal tints of light green. Minute reverse marks are undisturbing.(Registry values: N1793)
1925 $20 MS65 PCGS. Greenish-gold patination adorns the radiantly lustrous surfaces of this sharply struck Gem. A few minute marks may well prevent an even finer grade.(Registry values: N1793)
1925 $20 MS65 PCGS. The design elements are strongly impressed on this highly lustrous Gem twenty dollar. Its yellow-gold surfaces are minimally abraded.(Registry values: N1793)
1925-D $20 MS65 PCGS. This is a marvelous Gem example of this issue, one that was formerly thought to be a great rarity. According to the Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens as Illustrated by the Phillip H. Morse Collection:
Like so many issues in the series, the 1925-D has seen recent importations--in the case of the 1925-D, mostly from banks in France and Switzerland--that have lessened its rarity while adding to the number of high-grade examples.
The 1925-D is generally a well-produced double eagle, as well. Most examples are well struck, with frosty surfaces and above-average luster. This splendid piece is no exception. The coloration is a rich orange-gold, with radiant cartwheel luster emanating from the surfaces throughout. A sharp strike has brought up the details in Liberty's hair, gown, and branch hand, and bold definition characterizes the eagle's plumage. The frosty surfaces are relatively abrasion-free, save for a few small, scattered ticks that may have prevented an even higher grade. A memorable and conditionally rare Saint-Gaudens double eagle, one of just four Gems certified at PCGS, with only two coins graded even finer (10/09).(Registry values: N10218)
"At one time, the 1925-D was considered to be a major rarity, much more so than the 1920-S, 1930-S, 1931, and 1932. This was before an unknown quantity was discovered in the 1950s, followed by even larger quantities in Europe in the 1960s. Even to this day, small hoards of this date trickle out from time to time. Presently the 1925-D is regarded on par in rarity with the 1924-D, although in finer Mint State grades (MS65 and better) it is slightly rarer with only about a dozen examples certified."

1925-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Despite the hefty mintage of 3.8 million pieces, the 1925-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is an elusive coin in all grades, and one of the scarcest issues of the series in Mint State. In A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins, Q. David Bowers estimates a surviving population of 300 to 500 examples in circulated grades, with a like number of specimens at Mint State levels. Most Uncirculated examples grade MS62, or lower.
Catalogers recognized the scarcity of the issue at an early date. In one of its first auction appearances, in the Flanagan Collection (Stack's, 3/1944), lot 1675, the coin was described as:
The present coin is a pleasing example, with lustrous surfaces and attractive orange-gold color. Some scattered handling marks are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: N4719)

1927 $20 MS65 NGC. A common date, the 1927 is part of a series of five P-Mint double eagles that are the most plentiful of the denomination. Therefore, these pieces are great type coins, or simply a good way to store gold with some numismatic interest.(Registry values: N1793)
1927 $20 MS65 NGC. A splendid Gem with fully lustrous and frosty yellow-gold surfaces and bold design details. Traces of green and pink add to the overall eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
1927 $20 MS65 NGC. A honey-gold Gem with beautifully smooth surfaces. A small copper spot is noted near the stem of the torch. A brief abrasion near the left edge of the sun is all that limits the grade. Encased in a prior generation holder.(Registry values: N1793)
1927 $20 MS65 PCGS. A well-defined and immensely lustrous Gem that is ideal for the type collector. Both sides offer charming yellow-orange color, and only a few small marks are hidden in the devices.(Registry values: N1793)

1927 $20 MS66 NGC. An apricot-gold Saint-Gaudens twenty whose precise strike and sweeping luster provide obvious eye appeal. A few faint obverse field grazes are of little import.(Registry values: N2998)
1927 $20 MS67 NGC. Although part of a commonly seen issue, this Superb Gem is anything but a common coin, in any sense of the word. The magnificent orange-golden-rose coloration combines with rich, ebullient luster to immediately captivate the eye of the viewer. The striking details are uniformly crisp and full, and careful examination with a loupe fails to reveal any noteworthy marks, other than a faint graze on the upper left quadrant of the sun. Census: 49 in 67, 0 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)
1928 $20 MS65 NGC. Brass-gold patina with mint-green accents bathes the radiantly lustrous surfaces of this attractive Gem, and a well executed strike imparts strong definition to the design elements. A few grade-consistent surface and rim marks are undisturbing.(Registry values: N1793)
1928 $20 MS65 ★ NGC. Attractively detailed with strong but not flashy yellow-gold luster. Though a handful of small marks are present on the figure of Liberty, the overall visual appeal is remarkable.(Registry values: N1793)

1928 $20 MS67 PCGS. The 1928, with a mintage exceeding 8.8 million pieces, is one of the most common Saint-Gaudens double eagles. Gold specialist David Akers (2008) writes that known Mint State examples number 60,000 to 80,000 coins, the latter figure comprising the PCGS/NGC Uncirculated population. Collectors will have little difficulty locating a Premium Gem specimen, as the two services have graded nearly 3,700 in this level of preservation. The certified population tops out in MS67 with only 145 coins, a number of which are likely resubmissions.
Our Superb Gem offering displays gorgeous peach-gold color with mint-green accents, joined by splashes of reddish-gold on the reverse. Thick frosty luster endows both sides and a decisive strike leaves sharp definition on the design motifs. Impeccably preserved surfaces that are devoid of mentionable marks or alloy spots round out the coin's superior eye appeal. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 65 in 67, 0 finer (9/09).

1851 $50 LE Humbert Fifty Dollar, 887 Thous. 50 Rev.--Tooled--NCS. NCS calls this piece Genuine, and accurately describes it as tooled. The 887 fineness appears to be reengraved, as does the 50 at the bottom of the obverse. The eagle is almost entirely reengraved, as are many of the letters. The central 50 on the reverse appears to be reengraved, as does the border around the entire coin. All of the tooling work, which was done with a steady hand, makes attribution extremely difficult. It appears that this is an example of Kagin-4, with the reverse reengraved to resemble the Kagin-3 design.
1852 $10 Humbert Ten Dollar VF30 ANACS. K-10a, R.4. This is the late die state with a heavy die crack that transforms the U of UNITED into an II, giving rise to the popular IINITED name. This piece has light greenish-yellow gold surfaces with considerable pale orange toning. Listed on page 365 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1852 $50 RE Humbert Fifty Dollar, 887 Thous. VF35 PCGS. K-11, R.5. Californians desired the establishment of a United States branch mint in their state in 1850, but their representatives in Washington were stifled by opposition from New York (which desired a mint of its own), and fear of competition from Pennsylvania, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Georgia; states with existing branch mints. A compromise was reached in September which allowed for the establishment of a U.S. Assay Office in San Francisco, capable of producing circulating coinage.
This Choice VF example of the so-called Humbert fifty dollar "slug" displays typical flatness across the center of the obverse, and both sides carry numerous circulation impairments, including several rim abrasions on each side, and a handful of shallow digs near the center of the reverse. Green-gold coloration adorns the surfaces of this well circulated survivor from the California Gold Rush era. A scarce issue, listed on page 364 of the 2010 Guide Book.

1852 $10 Assay Office Ten Dollar AU53 NGC. K-12a, R.5. Early and late die states exist with bold or faint beads in the reverse border. This example is the late die state, which is identified as K-12a(2) and is slightly more plentiful. The surfaces are somewhat abraded as usual for these coins, with bright green-gold and faint peripheral orange toning. The United States Assay Office pieces were struck after John Moffat retired, and Curtis, Perry, and Ward reorganized the operation, continuing to operate under government authority until the San Francisco Mint opened in 1854. Listed on page 365 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1849 $5 Moffat & Co. Five Dollar--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. K-4, R.5. Light to moderate wear with yellow-orange surfaces that are over-bright from a past cleaning. Strongly defined on the reverse and faintly abraded.
1849 $10 Moffat & Co. Ten Dollar, "Ten Dol." Fine 15 NGC. K-6a, High R.5. A desirable, if well worn representative of this elusive Territorial issue, both sides exhibit even yellow-gold coloration overall. Richer green-gold undertones are evident at certain angles, and the surfaces show a number of abrasions picked up from circulation in the rough conditions of the California Gold Rush. There is a moderate indentation near the base of Liberty's neck. Listed on page 363 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1855 $50 Wass Molitor Fifty Dollar Fine 15 PCGS. K-9, R.5. The so-called Large Head variant. Because of the large size of the coin the head still does not seem large, but when compared to the Small Head twenties of the same year this designation makes more sense. The Large Head twenty and fifty dollar coins of 1855 had the central obverse device of Liberty modeled after the federal double eagles of that time.
Both Wass and Molitor were Hungarian immigrants and both had experience with mining and metallurgy in their native country. The quality of their gold coins was unquestioned and ranked alongside those of Moffat, Kellogg, and Humbert. As a result, they were heavily circulated and they were saved, as the other reputable companies' products were. This is an important distinction when studying this fascinating series. The rarest coins today were usually from companies that had low assay values and subsequent low acceptability in Gold Rush California. This coin is not unusual for a Wass, Molitor. While it is heavily abraded and shows signs of extensive wear, this is how many of these pieces are found because they were widely circulated as trusted stores of value.
The surfaces show heavy marks on each side, most likely from contact with other heavy coins. The fields have a pronounced reddish tinge with lighter, yellow-gold accents over the high points of the devices. Listed on page 373 of the 2009 Guide Book.

1869 25C Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-749, High R.5, MS64 Prooflike NGC. A stunning greenish-gold example with fully mirrored fields and modest cameo contrast. This is the second finest BG-749 we have handled, behind an MS65 Deep Prooflike example.
1873 25C Liberty Round 25 Cents, BG-817, R.3, MS66 NGC. While we have auctioned several dozen examples of BG-817, the present piece is tied with one other for the finest that we have handled. A gorgeous combination of rich yellow, emerald green, and pale rose, combine to provide amazing eye appeal.
1871 25C Liberty Round 25 Cents, BG-862, High R.6, MS62 Prooflike NGC. This very rare Liberty Round design has an obverse that keys off the Gobrecht Liberty portrait found on various gold denominations. Light yellow-gold surfaces are amply reflective.
1870 50C Liberty Octagonal 50 Cents, BG-908, R.5, MS65 PCGS. A lemon-gold Gem that displays occasional glimpses of cherry-red. The flashy fields are smooth except for minor marks near star 6. Boldly struck aside from the upright of the D in DOLLAR. Population: 10 in 65, 6 finer (10/09).
1868 50C Indian Octagonal 50 Cents, BG-961, R.7, MS63 Prooflike NGC. A flashy Select example of this very rare Indian octagonal variant. Strong yellow-gold mirrors contrast with the textured devices. Census: 1 in 63 Prooflike, 1 finer (10/09).
1874 G$1 Indian Octagonal Dollar, BG-1124, High R.4, MS65 Deep Prooflike, NGC. Period Two (1858-1882) octagonal dollars were popular with collectors of the late 19th century. This scarce variety was first published in The Coin Collectors Journal in March of 1884. The present coin is sharply struck, with reflective fields and undisturbed surfaces. Recutting is evident on the stars and the point of the bust. This specimen is the only example certified in Gem Deep Prooflike condition at NGC (10/09).
