1652 3PENCE Oak Tree Threepence--Damaged--NGC Details. VF. Noe-24, W-270. 16.2 gn. A moderately worn example of this unusual die pair, with only the word MASATHVSETS around the obverse (no IN). Moderately worn with silver-gray and blue shadings over surfaces damaged by bending and later straightening. Listed on page 36 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1652 6PENCE Oak Tree Sixpence--Scratches--NGC Details. AU. Crosby 6-F, Noe-16, W-360, R.5. 33.8 gn. A few hair-thin scratches cross the obverse center, and a couple of similar marks are east of the base of the denomination. These are presumably test marks made by an unfamiliar finder of centuries past. Naturally waviness affects the obverse at 3 o'clock, and the borders display rough mint-made clips. Partly lustrous and attractively toned in sea-green and steel-gray. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1652 6PENCE Pine Tree Sixpence AU55 PCGS. Crosby 1-A, Noe-33, R.3. 30.6 gn. These historic coins were among the first struck in the English Americas. They were authorized by the Massachusetts General Court in 1652 after wampum was repealed as legal tender and the Crown ignored the colonists' needs for circulating coinage. This is a splendidly detailed sixpence that has glossy olive and almond-tan surfaces. The obverse is misaligned toward 12 o'clock, diagnostic for Noe-33. This is a late state for Noe-33 with the vertical break to the left of the 6 now plain. Somewhat wavy, as made from a rocker press. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 6 in 55, 5 finer (4/10).
1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet--Plugged--NGC Details. Fine. Crosby 18-L, Noe-20, W-860. 69.0 gn. A holed and plugged example of a Pine Tree shilling, well-worn but with remarkably bold central detail. An ideal piece for display or other non-close-up collecting purposes. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet--Reverse Damage--NGC Details. Fine. Crosby 16-L, Noe-22, W-870. 70.7 gn. Significantly worn but with rich gold and blue colors over gray surfaces. A prominent die break spans the gap between the G and L in ENGLAND, though that side also shows a depression and digs that amount to the "reverse damage" designation. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet XF40 NGC. Crosby 24-N, Noe-15, W-830, R.5. 71.5 gn. This medium brown shilling was struck several degrees off center toward 7:30. Mint-made clips cause an oval shape, but the tree, date, and denomination are bold and complete. Glimpses of luster confirm limited circulation. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. Census: 8 in 40, 17 finer (4/10).
1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet AU53 PCGS. Crosby 21-L, Noe-16, W-835, R.2. 69.4 gn. A variety interesting for its widely recut first A in MASATHVSETS. This example has noticeable luster and is toned golden-brown, olive-green, and stone-gray. All peripheral lettering is complete, and the strike is consistently save save for minor softness near 12 o'clock on each side. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 53, 12 finer (4/10).
1652 SHILNG Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet AU55 PCGS. Crosby 22-L, Noe-17, W-840, R.3. 69.29 gn. Walnut-brown and powder-blue toning drapes this partly lustrous Choice AU Pine Tree shilling. Mark-free except for a couple of hair-thin lines near the D in ENGLAND. Well struck aside from bluntness near 6 o'clock on each side. The hardy Crosby L reverse die lasted from Noe-17 through No-22, while the obverse die was only used for the present marriage. The Massachusetts silver coinage was an early manifestation of that colony's desire for independence from England. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 55, 7 finer (4/10).
(1659) 4PENCE Lord Baltimore Fourpence--Plugged--NGC Details. VF. Breen-74, Hodder 1-A, W-1010, R.6. The readily collectible Maryland fourpence or groat, distinguished by the hyphen in the legend TERRAE-MARIAE. This is a moderately worn example, holed and plugged with numerous small marks and several pinscratches on medium-gray to blue-gray surfaces, though this coin's history and rarity overwhelm such concerns.
(1670-75) FARTH St. Patrick Farthing--Scratched--NGC Details. VG. Breen-208. Sharply defined for the VG level, although the deep brown fields are moderately granular. The reverse has several thin marks that form a circle about St. Patrick. Listed on page 39 of the 2010 Guide Book.
(1670-75) FARTH St. Patrick Farthing--Corrosion--NGC Details. Fine. Breen-211. Darkly toned and granular fields contrast with cream-gray devices. Magnification reveals wispy pinscratches from verdigris removal. Listed on page 39 of the 2010 Guide Book.
(1670-75) FARTH St. Patrick Farthing--Corrosion--NGC Details. Fine. Breen-208. The legends and types are clear on this evenly granular farthing. Well centered and unmarked with deep red and green patina. Listed on page 39 of the 2010 Guide Book.
(1670-75) FARTH St. Patrick Farthing--Corrosion--NGC Details. VF. Breen-211. An impressively detailed example of this conditionally rare early American import. Darkened to deep brown with evenly granular surfaces. Listed on page 39 of the 2010 Guide Book.
(1694) TOKEN London Elephant Token, Thick Planchet MS62 Brown PCGS. Hodder 2-B, W-12040, R.2. The reverse appears to read LONDON GOD PRESERVE, since the designer chose to begin the legend at the top rather than the left side, as more normally seen on coinage. This glossy milk-chocolate example has some minor planchet roughness, with a bit of original mint red clinging to the peripheries. Listed on page 2010 Guide Book. Population: 10 in 62 Brown, 20 finer (4/10).
1722 1/2P Rosa Americana Halfpenny, D. G. REX AU58 PCGS. Martin 2-B, W-1218, High R.4. Solid surface quality with only minor wear showing up as light, flat spots on the portrait. Rich violet-brown colors have peach and orange overtones. Population: 4 in 58, 6 finer (4/10).
1723 2PENCE Rosa Americana Twopence--Burnished--NGC Details. AU. Martin 3-D, W-1334, R.2. Well-defined with little evidence of wear. Deep brown surfaces are oddly textured with strange luminosity, suggesting burnishing. Listed on page 41 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1722 1/2P Hibernia Halfpenny, Type Two, Harp Right MS63 Brown PCGS. Martin 4.2-C.5, W-12810, R.5. 11 harpstrings. Although designated as Brown by PCGS, traces of mint Red cling to the legends of this satiny and unabraded Hibernia halfpenny. The centers show minor incompleteness of strike, a faint retained lamination (as made) is noted above the hair ribbon, and a gray spot is above the first A in GRATIA. Listed on page 42 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1723 FARTH Hibernia Farthing, DEI GRATIA MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. Martin 3-Bc, W-12350, R.3. 11 harpstrings. A remarkable Red and Brown Select representative of the Hibernia farthing. Surfaces are Brown through the reverse and most of the obverse, though considerable orange remains at the peripheries surrounding the portrait. Listed on page 42 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1766 1/2P Pitt Halfpenny MS63 Brown NGC. Betts-519, Breen-251, W-8350, R.3. Copper. From a historical standpoint, the Pitt farthings and halfpennies rank among the most important Colonial issues of early America. This issue commemorates the efforts of William Pitt to have the Stamp Act repealed. The current piece is remarkable on several levels. It is a technical mint error struck on a cracked planchet that is visible from the obverse border at 10:30 and the reverse border at 7:30, extending in toward the center of the flan. It is also an amazing Mint State specimen, one of the finest we have seen. This is only the 10th auction appearance of a Mint State Pitt halfpenny in any of our sales since 1993. Both sides have a lovely blend of tan and chocolate color with beautiful, original surfaces. Light clash marks are visible in the obverse and reverse fields. Census: 1 in 63 Brown, 2 finer (4/10). Listed on page 48 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURENCY, Pewter--Genuine--NCS. Breen-1089, Crosby Pl. VIII, 15, Newman 1-C. The coin shows VG Details and evidence of environmental damage and has been bent. The usually seen variety with the CURENCY misspelling. This piece is ungraded by NCS, merely declared genuine, certainly an important consideration. The actual grade is assigned by the Heritage team of professional graders. The surfaces have gray-brown color with darker steel patina, and there is evidence of corrosion. Listed on page 81 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1787 1/2 C Massachusetts Half Cent XF45 PCGS. Ryder 5-A, R.3. Pleasingly detailed for the grade and issue, with deep teak surfaces that show subtle violet accents. A meandering planchet flaw extends from the head of the Indian's arrow through his nearby foot and to the rim. Listed on page 57 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1787 1/2 C Massachusetts Half Cent MS65 Brown PCGS. Ryder 4-C, W-5940, R.2. One of the more accessible Massachusetts half cent varieties and a remarkably well-preserved example of the same. Considerable peach and violet shadings flicker across medium-brown surfaces that are smooth and delightful. Excellent design detail for an Early American issue. Listed on page 57 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1788 COPPER Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left XF45 PCGS. M. 15.1-L.1, W-4585, R.4. This medium brown state copper is nicely struck. The obverse is well centered, while the reverse is misaligned slightly toward 3:30. A few thin marks are concealed on the obverse, and granularity from the planchet surface is noted on the cheek and lower reverse. Listed on page 60 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 45, 6 finer (4/10).
1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Camel Head--Struck Over Connecticut Copper--AU58 NGC. Maris 56-n, R.1. This splendid New Jersey copper has delightful olive and steel toning on both sides, with considerable undertype from the Connecticut copper still visible. However, we are unable to positively identify the Connecticut attribution. Such a search will provide the lucky buyer with hours of research. Listed on page 67 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1787 COPPER Vermont Copper, Bust Right VF25 NGC. RR-12, Bressett 11-K, W-2110, R.3. A moderately worn example of the late state with thick crack through the E of VERMON. Still-lustrous surfaces exhibit a variety of copper-brown shades. Listed on page 68 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Federal Contract Coinage
1787 1C Fugio Cent, UNITED STATES, Cinquefoils MS64 Brown PCGS. Newman 8-B, W-6740, R.3. A deep brown near-Gem whose shimmering surfaces appear devoid of abrasions. The strike is full aside from the peripheral letters in BUSINESS. Struck from a clashed reverse die. Scarcer than the usual STATES UNITED reverse. Listed on page 83 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Colonials
1787 TOKEN Auctori Plebis Token AU55 PCGS. Breen-1147, W-8770, R.3. Listed on page 70 of the 2010 Guide Book. Die polish lines in the fields confirms minimal wear. A medium brown representative with pleasing surfaces despite a few marks on the upper left reverse field. The similarity of the obverse portrait to the Draped Bust Left Connecticut copper explains this issue's popularity with Early American specialists. Population: 4 in 55, 1 finer (4/10).
(1792-94) TOKEN Kentucky Token, Plain Edge MS65 Brown PCGS. CAC. Breen-1155, W-8800, R.1. American collectors view the Kentucky token as a Colonial issue likely associated with the state's admission to the Union in 1792. British collectors, however, regard it as one of the many popular Conder tokens, substitutes for a lack of small British copper coins, so named after one of their first catalogers. The issue in the 19th century was often called the triangle cent, according to Bowers. This Gem piece offers smooth milk-chocolate surfaces with no visible defects, unusual in a coin from this era. Listed on page 71 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1795 1C Talbot, Allum & Lee/Blofield Cavalry Mule MS63 Brown NGC. Breen-1051, W-8725, High R.4. This mirrored dark brown piece has splendid blue and pale gold toning on both sides. The planchet is cracked from the edge at 1 o'clock (on the Blofield Cavalry side), nearly reaching the center. The flan crack is also visible on the other side of this piece.
1794 1C Talbot/Stork MS63 Brown PCGS. D&H-Hampshire-52a, Rulau-NY-884, W-8670, R.5. The 1794 Talbot, Allum, and Lee obverse is mated with a 1793 Stork reverse, one of the more plentiful varieties among the Talbot mules. This piece is a lovely prooflike chocolate-brown example with traces of original orange luster.
1794 1/2 P Talbot, Allum & Lee/Birmingham Halfpenny Mule MS64 Brown PCGS. D&H-Warwick-54, Rulau-NY-883, W-8665, High R.4. The existence of the various Talbot mules proves that all of the Talbot, Allum & Lee pieces were actually coined in England, although the regular issues were intended for use in America. This is a truly special muling with full prooflike surfaces and considerable original orange mint luster on both sides.
1796 MEDAL Castorland Medal, Silver AU55 PCGS. Breen-1062, W-9135, R.6. First Paris Mint restrike from the original dies. The reverse die is sunken near the N in PARENS, and the vessel handle is accompanied by a network of die rust or crumbling. Briefly circulated and moderately abraded surfaces display deep dove-gray toning with apple-green and autumn-gold undertones. Listed on page 73 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 55, 14 finer (4/10).
1796 MEDAL Castorland Medal, Silver AU58 PCGS. Breen-1058, W-9100, R.5. Castorland was a planned community in upstate New York, intended to provide a home for French emigrants fleeing the French Revolution. There is little die rust and no bulge on this original strike. This bold example has reflective silver surfaces beneath deep steel-blue and iridescent toning on both sides. Population: 5 in 58, 9 finer (4/10).
1783 1C Washington & Independence Cent, Large Military Bust MS63 Brown NGC. Baker-4, R.1. The single finest NGC-certified example. A glance at the NGC and PCGS census data indicates that most examples of this issue circulated. This is a satiny Washington cent with deep olive-brown toning and impressively smooth surfaces. Listed on page 75 of the 2010 Guide Book. Census: 1 in 63 Brown, 0 finer (4/10).
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.
1791 1C Washington Large Eagle Cent MS63 Brown PCGS. Baker-15, W-10610, R.2. A well struck chocolate-brown Washington cent with unabraded fields and only a couple of inconsequential ticks on the cheekbone. The borders display subtle glimpses of brick-red patina. Listed on page 77 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 23 in 63 Brown, 29 finer (4/10).
1795 1/2P Washington Grate Halfpenny, Large Buttons, Reeded Edge MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. Baker-29AA. The salmon-pink surfaces have mellowed only slightly over the past two centuries. Devoid of marks and noticeable carbon. Struck from widely rotated dies. Listed on page 79 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 4077, which realized $1,035.
Undated PENNY Washington Liberty & Security Penny AU53 PCGS. Baker-30, W-11050, R.2. A mahogany-brown Washington piece with only a hint of wear on Washington's hair and the eagle's breast. Inconspicuous verdigris resides in selected design crevices. Listed on page 80 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2008), lot 2222, which realized $920.
Undated Washington Liberty & Security Penny MS64 Brown PCGS. Baker-30, W-11050, R.2. The Plain Rims variety of this well made token. This is a sharply struck and prooflike piece with lovely brick-red and olive-green toning. The reverse appears pristine, and the obverse has only a few minute marks. Population: 20 in 64 Brown, 4 finer (4/10).
Undated MEDAL Washington Success Medal, Small Size, Reeded Edge, Silvered AU55 PCGS. Baker-267B, W-10875, R.5. Apple-green dominates the obverse of this briefly circulated Washington piece. The reverse is predominantly cream-gray, where silvering persists. No marks are evident, and the strike is good aside from the usual softness on the all-seeing eye. Listed on page 80 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Ephraim Brasher Silver Spoon. A spoon, length 5 1/2 inches, likely formerly part of a table service. Moderate to heavy patina, two sets of initials FI over LB engraved on the front, on the back the EB hallmark double-punched.
1781 Libertas Americana Medal in Bronzed Copper, Betts-615, MS63 Brown PCGS. 47.5 mm, 42.5 gm. The Libertas Americana medal, minted in the early 1780s, is one of the most famous and historic medals ever produced by or for the U.S. These pieces were struck at the Paris Mint on order of Benjamin Franklin, and executed by Augustin Dupré. Three different dates appear on the Libertas Americana medal, July 4, 1776, October 17, 1777, and October 19, 1781. They are usually identified today by the latest date on the piece, or 1781. The obverse of this piece has the always seen die break below the 4. All genuine examples in bronze and silver have that same die break. Both sides of this piece have reflective chestnut-brown surfaces with faint blue and pale orange overtones. Here is an attractive and important medal for the historically minded collector. Accompanied by a PCGS photo certificate.
Half Cents
1794 1/2 C --Corrosion--NGC Details. VF. C-2a, B-2b, High R.2. The more common Small Letters edge. Moderately worn surfaces are deep brown with extensive texture from past corrosion. Lighter accents are seen on the high points of the obverse. MRB Fine 12.(
Registry values: P7)
1800 1/2 C AU58 NGC. C-1, B-1, R.1. Sole die pair for the year. This glossy violet-brown example has bold blue and peach overtones. Well struck with just a trace of friction on the high points. MRB XF40.(
Registry values: P5)
1805 1/2 C Large 5, Stems AU58 PCGS. C-4, B-4, R.2. Manley Die State 1.0. The medium brown and steel-blue surfaces shimmer with luster, and the strike is sharp throughout. Essentially devoid of abrasions, and spots are limited to the denominator and the field near the F in OF. MRB XF40. Population: 5 in 58, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5)
1807 1/2 C AU55 NGC. C-1, B-1, R.1. The sole die pair for the year. This modestly worn example has luminous, dusky cinnamon-brown surfaces and well struck devices. Surprisingly few abrasions for the grade. MRB XF40.(
Registry values: P5)
1833 1/2 C MS65 Brown NGC. C-1, B-1, R.1. Manley Die State 1.0. Attribution is easy since only die variety is known, despite a
Guide Book mintage of 103,000 pieces. This is a prooflike Gem that is fully struck save for a hint of incompleteness on the N in CENT. Essentially free from marks, although a mint-made lamination is present near star 1 and minor spots are noted near the second 3 in the date and the second S in STATES. MRB MS60.(
Registry values: P1)
1857 1/2 C MS64 Red PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.2. The final half cent issue has a meager mintage of 35,180 pieces, and full Red pieces are both scarce and underappreciated. This is a smooth peach-gold near-Gem with a couple of minor reverse spots. The striking details are good overall in spite of minor blending across portions of the denticles. Housed in a first generation holder. MRB MS64. Population: 12 in 64 Red, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
Proof Braided Hair Half Cents
1850 1/2 C PR63 Brown PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.6. The only known dies. From an unknown, but undoubtedly small proof mintage, the 1850 proof half cent is extremely rare in PR63 Brown today. Currently, PCGS has certified only three examples in PR63 Brown, with three finer; while NGC has graded a single specimen in this grade, with none finer in the Brown designation(4/10). The present coin displays exquisite striking details, with hints of original red color mixed with attractive chocolate brown. MRB PR60.(
Registry values: P3)
Large Cents
1795 1C Plain Edge--Double Struck, Scratches--NGC Details. VF. S-76b, B-4b, R.1. This piece has bold doubling visible at the center of the obverse and reverse. The obverse of this olive-brown example has a few scrapes, and the reverse has noticeable scratches, especially when magnified. MRB Good 6.(
Registry values: N991)
1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems--Environmental Damage--NGC Details. VF. S-129, B-24, R.5. A moderately worn example of this rare die pair. Violet and golden-brown surfaces show a number of voids and light surface etching, indicators of environmental damage, possibly from burial in soil. MRB VG8.(
Registry values: N991)
1797 1C Reverse of 1797, No Stems AU50 PCGS. S-131, B-27, R.2. An early die state for S-131, although the obverse is quite advanced. The No Stems 1797 cent, identified as S-131, is plentiful with an R.2 rating, suggesting a surviving population in the ball park of 1,000 coins.
Despite its availability, examples are uncommon in higher grades. Del Bland lists one XF45, two XF40s, and 14 pieces that he grades VF35 or VF30. Similarly, Bill Noyes records an XF45, two XF40s, and three VF35s as the six finest pieces known to him. Following those are 11 other coins in the lower VF grades. In his photo book,
United States Large Cents 1795-1797, Noyes illustrates the top 18 pieces known to him.
The present specimen is easily fine enough to be included among those 18 coins, and likely fairly high on that roster. This piece has the sharpness of an AU50 example with bistre-brown patina on the obverse, and deeper sepia patina on the reverse. Both sides have trivial surface marks while the obverse has additional splashes of spots of minor corrosion. This piece is, in our opinion, one of the 10 finest examples of the variety. MRB VF30.(
Registry values: N1793)
1800 1C VF25 PCGS. S-208, B-21, R.3. A prominent obverse cud near 2 o'clock aids attribution of the variety. A richly detailed example of this conditionally scarce date. Dark mahogany-brown with unabraded and mildly granular surfaces. MRB Fine 15.(
Registry values: N991)
1802 1C No Stems XF45 NGC. S-241, B-20, R.1. A No Stems reverse without doubling on the final S in STATES. The two No Stems varieties are popular with
Guide Book collectors, and this luminous chocolate-brown piece has many pleasing attributes. A heavy die crack is noted at the upper right obverse. MRB VF25.(
Registry values: P1)
1803 1C Small Date, Large Fraction--Double Struck, Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. S-261, B-20, R.2. Portions of the obverse show subtle signs of a second strike. The 1803 S-261 cent is an available variety, but rarely seen double struck. The present coin is Die State II, with the die crack from the rim, between 8 and 0, through the hair to the ribbon. Much original detail remains on the devices, and the surfaces are free of significant blemishes. MRB VF25.(
Registry values: P1)
1818 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-10, R.1. This lovely Randall Hoard cent has nearly 50% original red mint color with medium blue-brown patina on both sides. The strike is sharp and the diagnostic obverse die crack encircling the die is bold. Here is a popular piece for date and type collectors, the single finest Red and Brown example for the year known to NGC (4/10). MRB MS63.(
Registry values: N2998)
1848 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-41, R.1. Attributed by fine lines from dentils that reach the base of the second 8 in the date, and a sharp point down from the near right end of the base of T in CENT. Lovely orange lustrous surfaces display a few blushes of tan-blue. The design elements are sharply impressed, save for the usual softness in some of the star centers. Both sides are impeccably preserved and clean. MRB MS64. Census: 6 in 66 Red and Brown, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1850 1C MS66 Brown NGC. N-7, R.2. Grellman Die State b. The faint die lump at the central top of Liberty's neck is the key diagnostic for this specialist-familiar Newcomb variety. This lustrous and remarkably unabraded Premium Gem possesses rich butter-gold, brick-red, and jade-green toning. Certified in a former generation holder. MRB MS60.(
Registry values: N1793)
1851 1C MS66 Brown PCGS. N-14, R.2. Grellman Die State c. Glimpses of orange-red outline the stars, letters, and wreath, although designated as Brown by PCGS. Chocolate-brown toning fills the fields and portrait. Satiny and well struck with contact limited to trivial ticks near star 2. MRB MS60.(
Registry values: N1793)
1855 1C Upright 5s MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-4, R.1. An early striking without the peripheral die cracks on the reverse. Tiny die lumps on the portrait confirm the die marriage. The radiant orange color is especially pervasive on the reverse, although Liberty's portrait has acquired light lilac patina. MRB MS63.
Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection, Part One (10/1997), lot 273. Pittman had purchased the cent for $3.85 on an unknown date.(
Registry values: N1793)
1855 1C Upright 5s MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-4, R.1. Grellman Die State a. Mostly orange-gold, especially on the reverse. The obverse center has mellowed to gunmetal-gray. Lustrous and unabraded. The strike is precise aside from stars 2 through 9. MRB MS63.(
Registry values: N1793)
Flying Eagle Cents
1857 1C MS64 NGC. An attractively lustrous near-Gem example of this first-year circulating Flying Eagle cent. Medium peach color on the obverse is more dusky on the reverse. A spot is noted between the IC of AMERICA.(
Registry values: N1793)
1858 1C Large Letters MS64 NGC. Bright copper and peach surfaces show freckles of deeper apricot-rose color. A well struck Large Letters example of this final Flying Eagle cent issue with few significant abrasions.(
Registry values: N1793)
1858/7 1C AU50 ANACS. FS-301, Snow-1. The corner of the underdigit 7 is readily apparent northeast of the final 8 in the date, and the die dot below the eagle is even more visible. A surprisingly unmarked example that has rich brown patina and only minor wear.(
Registry values: N1793)
1858/7 1C MS63 PCGS. FS-301, Snow-1. Large Letters, High Leaves, Closed E. Broken wing tip hub. A popular early die state that shows all the diagnostics of this rare overdate. These include the "chip" in the field above the first 8 that is actually the bottom of an errant 1, the top of the 7 above and to the right of the second 8, and the broken wing tip. These are scarce in all grades and especially so in mint condition. Only 23 pieces have been certified by PCGS with 29 finer (4/10). The fields show a slight wrinkled effect, undoubtedly from metal flow. Striking details are strong throughout, although not quite complete. Each side displays golden-tan patina with satiny underlying mint luster.(
Registry values: N4719)
1858/7 1C MS63 NGC. FS-301, Snow-1. The tiny die chip above the first 8 is clearly visible, as is the broken wing tip. The right top of the 7 is faintly visible above the final 8, and the entire date is doubled. A few minor marks and faint scratches on the golden-tan surfaces explain the grade.(

Proof Flying Eagle Cents
1856 1C --Cleaned--ANACS. Net PR60. Snow-9. A fully struck and satiny example of this famous and historic small cent pattern. The apricot-gold and olive obverse is slightly bright, but the reverse is pleasing and displays attractive pastel sea-green, pumpkin-gold, and rose-red toning.(
Registry values: N4719)
1856 1C PR63 NGC. Snow-9. The usual die pair for this perennial marketplace favorite. The Snow-9 cents are generally well made proofs, such as the present piece. The strike is razor-sharp, down to the veins of the cotton leaves. The surfaces are unabraded and toned dusky green-gray aside from glimpses of the initial apricot-gold color near peripheral design elements. The fields display an occasional whisper of granularity, enough to limit the grade but not the eye appeal. Just prior to the Civil War, this issue was the hottest ticket in the budding coin collecting hobby, and every collector worth his salt had to have at least one.(
Registry values: N4719)
1856 1C PR64 NGC. Snow-9. Golden-brown encompasses design elements, while the open fields display ice-blue. Glimpses of rose-red visit the margins. The attractive toning and reflective luster combine with an exacting strike to ensure the eye appeal. No carbon is readily evident, and there are no abrasions. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent played a vital role in the growth of American numismatics just prior to the Civil War. Every collector had to have at least one, an achievable goal unlike the 1804 dollar. Demand for the small diameter 1856 cent was so strong that the Mint unofficially produced at least 1,000 pieces a few years later, most of which, like the present coin, came from Snow-9 proof dies.(
Registry values: N4719)
1858 1C Large Letters PR65 PCGS. Snow-PR1. High Leaves Reverse. Closed E in ONE. Probably only about 50 to 100 proofs of this issue were distributed, giving it equal status with the proof 1857 Flying Eagle cents. These are very rare in proof format. Prior to 1992, PCGS certified all proof 1858 Flyers under a single coin identification number. Once they separated those listings and began recognizing the Small and Large Letters varieties, they began keeping track of Small Letters coins listed under the new number. All previously certified coins were accounted by the Large Letters number, giving this variety the appearance that it is more common. It is likely that the Mint distributed the Large Letters proofs in 1858. The Small Letters coins are likely restrikes produced and sold later. This Gem is extremely sharply struck and displays deep orange-gold color accented by iridescent toning. Certified in an old green label holder.

1859 1C MS64 PCGS. A lovely near-Gem example of this single-year type issue. Color is largely pale copper to peach with a patch of vibrant orange at the right reverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1859 1C MS65 NGC. This piece retains much of the light honey-tan color of original copper-nickel cents. There is, however, also a slight and even overlay of reddish patina on each side. The mint luster glows softly over the surfaces. Slight metal flow is also noted toward the margins of both obverse and reverse. Sharply, but not fully struck.(

1861 1C MS66 PCGS. Ex: Richard Collection. The surfaces display pleasing golden-tan coloration and bright satiny luster, with typical definition and essentially mark-free surfaces. Liberty's headdress feathertips are softly struck, as are some of the obverse peripheral letters, and the 8 in the date. Russet-orange toning streaks overlay part of the obverse, along with a small number of flyspecks. The reverse seems unmarked and carbon-free. Population: 55 in 66, 11 finer (4/10).

1869/69 1C MS65 Brown NGC. CAC. FS-301, Snow-3a. A chocolate-brown Gem of this popular repunched date variety, which Breen (1988) claims as his own discovery. Boldly struck and smooth with minor clash marks in selected areas.

1877 1C VG8 ANACS. Shallow N. All letters in LIBERTY are at least partly present, although only the L, T, and Y are clear. The medium brown surfaces are unperturbed aside from a small recessed area between UNITED and STATES. The key date of the series.(

1877 1C VG10 NGC. All letters in LIBERTY are at least partly evident on this circulated sea-green and rose-red key date cent. One minor mark in the headdress is of little import. Among regular issues, only the 1909-S has a lower mintage.(

1883 1C MS67 Red and Brown NGC. The lemon-gold central obverse is bounded by orange-red and lime-green. The pumpkin-gold reverse has splashes of deep ruby-red. Although struck from late-in-life dies, this lustrous Gem possesses surfaces are seemingly free from even the most trivial imperfection.

1885 1C MS65 Red PCGS. A remarkable Gem survivor of this Philadelphia cent issue, ideal for the date collector pursuing the daunting task of assembling the series in Red Mint State. Strong copper-orange and salmon colors enliven lustrous surfaces that are unturned and beautiful. Well-defined with only minor incompleteness on the diamonds on Liberty's hair ribbon.

1909-S 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Among regular issues, the 1909-S is the lowest mintage small cent. Examples were saved since its scarcity was known early, but nice Uncirculated pieces are desirable. This is a lustrous walnut-gold near-Gem that has a good strike and a mark-free appearance.(

1909-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. This Gem Red 1909-S Indian is certified in an old-style PCGS green-label "doily" holder. The obverse is orange-gold, while the reverse is a bit lighter in shade, and generous luster radiates from both sides. All four diamonds show on the ribbon, although a couple of the feather tips on the headdress are incomplete. Only a couple of trivial flecks appear, solely on the reverse, under a loupe. Gem Red 1909-S Indians are many times rarer than their 1909-S VDB counterparts in the same grade. PCGS has certified only 14 examples finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Richard. The 1909-S Indian cent has a paltry mintage of only 309,000 pieces, which rivals the 1877 in desirability and overall rarity. It is also a condition rarity, with only 12 other MS66 Red coins certified as such by PCGS, and just one finer piece (5/10). This is a lovely, bright orange-red example that has even color over each side, no obvious carbon spots, and no abrasions. Slight weakness is evident at the feather tips and on the lower part of the wreath, but the quality is otherwise stunning.

1909 VDB 1C MS67 Red PCGS. CAC. The 1909 VDB cent has a huge following at the Superb Gem Red level, as even though the two major services have certified a few hundred pieces in that grade, it is the finest practically obtainable. This thoroughly lustrous Superb Gem is precisely struck and practically pristine, with flaming orange-red surfaces, a bold strike, and enormous eye appeal. An outstanding representative of this single-year design subtype. PCGS has graded only a single example finer (4/10).

1909 VDB 1C Doubled Die Obverse, DDO-002 MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. FS-1102. Cherrypickers' states that "the doubling on this variety is evident as extra thickness on all obverse letters and numbers." This variety should not be confused with the better known FS-1101, a different 1909 V.D.B. doubled die. "Notching" is visible on the curve of the last 9, and there are die chips in the top of the B in LIBERTY. This lustrous Premium Gem is well struck aside from the initials. The almond-tan and mint-green surfaces display minimal imperfections. Population for the variety: 9 in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

1909-S VDB 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Typically bold and frosty with uniform golden-tan surfaces that look much as they did nearly 100 years ago when a U.S. President first appeared on a regular issue coin. The most famous of all Lincoln cent issues and among the best known in all of numismatics, with its mintage of 484,000 pieces fixed in the memory of all dedicated collectors of the series. While comparatively abundant in lesser Uncirculated grades, pieces at this lofty level are legitimately scarce and are almost never seen finer. PCGS has only certified nine finer examples of this famous issue (4/10).

1909-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. The 1909-S Lincoln cent without VDB is popular at the Gem level and still obtainable for a price at the Premium Gem level, although that is as good as it gets for most collectors, unless they want to vie for the tiny handful of MS67 Red specimens certified. This MS66 Red piece proffers bold eye appeal, with mellow sunset-orange surfaces accented by hints of olive on the obverse and cherry-red at the lower reverse. There is no hint of carbon or contact, and the strike is essentially full. PCGS has certified four Red coins finer (4/10).

1909-S 1C S Over Horizontal S MS65 Red NGC. FS-1502. The first S is punched horizontally and somewhat north of the second, correctly positioned mintmark. In the later die states, as here, it is evident that there is a repunched mintmark, as Cherrypickers' says, but the horizontal orientation is difficult to discern.

1910 1C MS67 Red PCGS. This is a much less-common issue than generally realized at the Superb Gem Red level, where PCGS has certified only 19 pieces and none finer (4/10).

1910-S 1C MS67 Red NGC. The 1910-S is, for a mintmarked early Lincoln issue, relatively available in Mint State. David Lange, in his
Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, writes that "original rolls were known as late as the 1970s, and small hoards of red or red-brown coins were being marketed even in the 1980s. True gems are easy to find, and they appear with more frequency than for other S-mint Lincoln cents before 1929."
Lange's assertions notwithstanding, specimens in the lofty grade of MS67 Red, such as the present coin, are anything but common. Indeed, NGC and PCGS together have graded a mere four examples in MS67 Red, and none finer (4/10). Copper-orange and yellow-gold luster adorn the impeccably preserved surfaces, and the strike is remarkably powerful overall, showing only weakness on a couple of the letters on the lower reverse legend.

1911-D 1C MS66 Red NGC. This Premium Gem Red 1911-D Lincoln, certified in an old-style NGC holder, should elicit some spirited bidding on the auction "floor"--both the physical and virtual kinds. NGC and PCGS combined have graded only 19 coins at this level, with a mere two finer. This piece displays old-time originality, with surfaces that are uniformly free of either carbon or distractions. The strike is exceptionally sharp for this often-weak issue, and the color is a consistent violet-red, well within the confines of the Red designation. Census: 1 in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

1911-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. Countless collectors pursue the Lincoln cent as their first series because of its high visibility, availability, and relative affordability. Even after getting their feet wet in numismatics, many collectors remain fervent Lincoln-seekers. Due to the huge collector base for the Lincoln cent, demand is always high, and bidding is fierce for a Premium Gem Red coin such as the piece offered here.
This is unsurprising, as many of the early Lincoln cents are challenging in Gem or better, especially with the Red designation. In 1911, the same year that Denver first dabbled in cent coinage, the San Francisco Mint struck more than 4 million Lincoln cents for circulation. Apparently, most of those coins spent a good deal of time in commerce, though the present piece offers a singularly delightful exception to the rule. This especially well-preserved example has warm red color over each side and sharply struck devices. The 1911-S is an elusive issue even in finer circulated grades, but it is a premier condition rarity at the Gem Red level of preservation, and even more so at the level of Premium Gem Red. PCGS has graded a total of 11 MS66 Red 1911-S cents and none in either MS66 Brown or MS66 Red and Brown (4/10). This piece offers consistent sunset-orange coloration with a few minuscule violet flecks on the obverse and some deeper cherry-red on the right reverse. The strike is impeccable. Due to the rarity of the 1911-S in MS66, one can expect several high-grade Lincoln specialists to compete for this meticulously preserved, outstanding coin.

1912 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh. Further proof that there is absolutely no correlation between mintage and availability in high grades. This Superb Gem representative exhibits fine-grained, mattelike surfaces that, if it were not for a few inconsequential flecks of carbon, would come temptingly close to perfection. Radiant luster is present throughout both sides, with mellow, consistent deep apricot-orange coloration. The search for the ultimate 1912 Lincoln ends here. Population: 7 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1912-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. The 1912-S Lincoln in Gem Red grades, along with the 1911-S, begins a string of S-mint rarities in the series at the MS65 Red level that lasts until nearly the end of the 1920s. The smooth peach surfaces on this example are somewhat mattelike on the obverse and only slightly mellowed. The obverse strike is extremely sharp, although the reverse is less so, showing weakness on the lower right wheat ear. Carbon is limited to just a couple of minute reverse flecks. Census: 22 in 65 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

1913 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. Although the mintage exceeded 76 million coins, PCGS has only graded four submissions as MS67 Red, with none finer (4/10). Just one survivor exists for every 19 million examples of the original mintage. When pieces such as this Superb Gem appear in the marketplace, advanced specialists know that the opportunity should not be bypassed.
The strike is bold, apparently as usual, although there is some conflicting information in David W. Lange's reference. He states under rarity that "all grades of Mint State are available. Fully red gems are in more limited supply and when found, these are seldom fully struck." Then in the Comments section he further writes: "Like most Philadelphia-Mint cents, 1913-P is almost always well struck."
The present coin is an absolutely amazing Superb Gem with brilliant golden-orange surfaces that exhibit extremely intense mint frost and exceptional luster. The lower inside edge of the left wheat ear has a small dark toning spot. A few minuscule abrasions are visible but hardly important.
This incredible Superb Gem will easily please the advanced Lincoln cent specialist, and will nicely upgrade nearly every Registry Set currently recorded at the PCGS website. The present appearance is only the fourth time that we have offered an MS67, and the three previous appearances represent just one or two other pieces. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

1913-D 1C MS66 Red NGC. The 1913-D cent is a fairly well-produced issue--much more so than the 1911-D, for example, although there are exceptions. This piece is sharply defined and well preserved throughout, a criterion that seems common to many of the coins in this marvelous collection. The bright brick-red surfaces show a bit of hazel patina on the lower obverse. Both sides display noticeable mattelike granularity with an overlay of bright, satiny luster.

1913-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. The 1913-S Lincoln cent is another S-mint issue that is extremely elusive at the Gem Red level.

1914 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Another early Lincoln P-mint issue that is conditionally quite elusive at this Premium Gem Red level, where PCGS has certified 46 examples and only three finer (4/10). This survivor is among the finest from the mintage exceeding 75 million pieces at the start of World War I. The surfaces are a uniform, blazing brick-orange color, with scattered glints of hazel and nary a carbon fleck in sight.

1914-D 1C MS66 Red NGC. This Premium Gem has a sharp strike with the exception of slight weakness that is limited to Lincoln's cheek and beard. The surfaces are frosty and highly lustrous with a few tiny freckles but no other blemishes. Among fully brilliant red examples of this date, NGC and PCGS have combined to grade just seven pieces with none finer (4/10).
Although quite a few early branch mint Lincoln cents are condition rarities in similar grades, the 1914-D is a date that collectors immediately recognize as a key to the series in all grades, along with the 1909-S VDB cent, the 1922 Plain, and the 1955 Doubled Die variety. This issue has been recognized as a rare date for a great many years. For example, the 1936 edition of Wayte Raymond's
Standard Catalogue of United States Coins and Currency recorded a value of $2.50 for this date, the highest price of any Lincoln cent issue. By comparison, the same catalog listed a value of just 50 cents for the 1909-S VDB cent.
Most surviving Mint State examples of this date are probably from a hoard of 700 pieces mentioned by Walter Breen and still in existence through the early 1950s. Others are from two rolls of spotted red and brown pieces that was discovered in Hawaii or the Philippines during the 1970s, according to a firsthand account by Dave Bowers. Census: 4 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1914-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. The 1914-S is among the scarcest of the semikey dates in the Lincoln cent series. High-grade pieces are in relatively short supply due to problems in producing the coins. More specifically, David Lange (2005) writes: "Problems with the planchet stock have caused many specimens across the entire grade spectrum to display signs of corrosion and other discoloration." The elusiveness of full Red Gem specimens is evident from the certified population data that show just 37 MS65 coins, and a mere three finer (4/10).
This exceptional Red Gem displays bright blond-gold to peach-gold surfaces with sharply struck design elements. The preservation is impressive throughout, with no mentionable spots, discoloration, or stains. Census: 5 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1915-S 1C MS66 Red NGC. The 1915-S Lincoln is acknowledged to be one of the most elusive of the early S-mint cents today, a position it has attained gradually over the last three decades or so as hordes of new collectors have discovered how truly difficult it is to obtain in top grades. This Premium Gem Red piece is the sole finest Red example so graded at NGC, and with PCGS's five coins, a total of a half-dozen 1910-S cents make the cut at MS66 Red.
The lustrous surfaces on this splendid coin offer a mottled mix of gold, red, and light violet, all well within the Red confines, and carbon is absent. The strike is as full as ever seen, with complete separation on both coat lines across the neck and no weakness on any of the reverse legends. A remarkable treat for Lincoln cent Registry collectors.

The surfaces have a fine-grained mattelike appearance, as though they were struck from proof dies--a possibility that the extremely sharp strike does not entirely preclude.

1916-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. To many collectors, the 1916-D is a date that sparks only mild interest; in circulated grades it is relatively available, thanks to a mintage of just under 36 million pieces. To the Mint State Lincoln cent enthusiast, however, the 1916-D issue has a completely different connotation. As David Lange writes in
The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, "The rarity of this date in MS65 RD will come as a surprise to many who are new to collecting Lincolns in high grades but not to veteran specialists in the series."
The 1916-D, a widely celebrated and closely studied issue, shows a number of characteristics in common among the best examples. Perhaps the most notable is a certain trade-off that affects the highest-graded examples. Lange notes that better-graded Mint State cents with fully Red surfaces often show striking weakness, and that toning is more commonly associated with sharply detailed survivors. In addition, a Red example's color often shows strong elements of pink.
This Premium Gem shows certain pink accents and hues, though the more dominant color is rich copper-orange. Though a touch of the usual striking softness appears at the upper wheat ears, the portrait is crisp, and the surfaces are carefully preserved. Overall, this coin represents an attractive opportunity in more ways than one for the discerning Lincoln Registry Set collector. It is one of just four MS66 Red pieces in the PCGS
Population Report, with none finer (4/10).

1916-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1916-S Lincoln continues a string of difficult S-mint issues in Gem Red condition that begins with the 1911-S and continues through at least the 1927-S. This sharply struck early Lincoln cent displays bold definition on Lincoln's beard, hair, and the motto, areas that are frequently softly impressed. The surfaces are free of distracting spots or surface abrasions, and a strong loupe is needed to find the minute signs of contact. A short planchet flaw appears below Lincoln's temple, and a speck at the top of EN of CENT. To date PCGS has certified a mere 22 pieces in MS65 Red, with none finer (4/10).

1917 1C MS67 Red PCGS. In general, the finest Registry Set collections of Lincoln cents will contain mostly MS65 Red and MS66 Red (if they exist) examples of the early mintmarked issues, with some issues unknown at the higher level. For the Philadelphia Mint issues, however, those finest collections can feature the occasional MS67 Red or even MS68 Red coin. Numismatists outside the knowledgeable Lincoln cent cadres, when shown such pieces, will marvel that such outstanding quality can survive essentially unchanged over decades.
This remarkable Superb Gem Red coin will certainly inspire such admiration, offering as it does impeccable surface preservation over almond-tan surfaces that cede to cherry-red near the rims on the upper obverse and lower reverse. The strike is equally impeccable, with frosty luster and a near-total absence of abrasions (save for a single visible tick on the reverse below the P of PLURIBUS) rounding out this noteworthy package. Population: 15 in 67 Red, 2 finer (4/10).

1917 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red PCGS. FS-101. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. It is miraculous that examples of this rare Lincoln cent variety exist at all, and for that we have to thank the nationwide minor coin shortage that developed in 1917 and 1918, one that was also responsible for another rare and popular coin variety, the 1918/7-D Buffalo nickel.
Because of the shortage of cents and nickels, the nation's three mints stepped up to the challenge. In the case of the Lincoln cent, mintages at all three mints combined increased from about 190 million pieces in 1916 to more than 284 million pieces in 1917. The Philadelphia Mint increased its output by about half, from 132 million cents in 1916 to 196 million in 1917.
Against this backdrop, and likely due to the generous mintage for the time, the 1917 Doubled Die cents were created in sufficient numbers that a few nice Uncirculated pieces still exist today. Undiscovered until 1977, the Doubled Die 1917 is predictably rare in all grades, with the usual example (when found) in the lower circulated grades. The doubling is quite pronounced and certainly not in the realm of "micronumismatics," as is often the case with some of the doubled dies discovered in recent years. The doubling is most easily seen on WE TRUST and the date. Considered by Fivaz-Stanton as "one of the top five Lincoln cent varieties." It is extremely rare in Mint State, with Gems of the utmost importance. Only three other pieces have been so graded, with two finer (4/10). The surfaces of this coin have brilliant orange mint color with an occasional area of gold. The sharply defined surfaces show no obvious or distracting abrasions on either side.

1917-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. This piece is a rarity among the San Francisco issue for the year in that it was struck from relatively fresh dies on both the obverse and reverse. It was the usual practice during 1917 and 1918 to work three shifts around the clock to produce coins at our nation's mints during the critical wartime period of World War I. As a result the dies were extensively worn before being replaced with new ones. This was even more true at the Denver and San Francisco production facilities because all of the dies were prepared at the Philadelphia mint and had to be sent to the other two, making them less readily available "out west."
In addition to the sharply struck detail, this coin is refreshingly lustrous with an eye-appealing golden-red patina that graces its surfaces. Several small ticks appear mostly on the reverse that keep it out of the next higher grade, which has only happened once at PCGS and not at all at NGC. Minor deepening of color shows on the reverse. A Lincoln specialist's dream come true for the lucky successful bidder. Population: 16 in 65 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

1918 1C MS67 Red PCGS. CAC. The designer's V.D.B. initials were restored to the cent in 1918, placed on Lincoln's shoulder next to the rim. Fully Red 1918 cents can be located through the Gem level of preservation. Premium Gems are considerably more challenging, and higher-grade pieces are rare.
The flaming orange-red surfaces of this outstanding MS67 Red coin display bold luster and a powerful strike. There are no mentionable contact marks, toning spots, or carbon flecks. Splendid eye appeal is evident on both sides. Population: 9 in 67 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

1918-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1918-D, like its sibling 1918-S, is extremely rare at the Gem Red level. This lovely piece shows radiant luster over blond-gold and almond-tan surfaces, and the strike is better than normal for this issue, which typically features a weak strike. The reverse die is eroded, showing a "ghost" of the Lincoln upside-down from the obverse, and the lower wheat ears are softly struck. Certified in an old, small holder with a green label. Population: 27 in 65 Red, 7 finer (4/10).

1918-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The typical Mint State 1918-S cent is Brown or Red and Brown, with poorly struck design elements. David Lange, in
The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, states that "any fully red coin is a rarity, while fully red
and fully struck gems are extremely rare." Only about 120 Uncirculated 1918-S cents have been assigned the fully Red status by PCGS and NGC, but precious few of them are at the Gem level.
The present Red Gem exhibits a better-than-average strike; the only noticeable softness appears on the lower right side of the right wheat stalk. Lustrous orange-gold color dominates minimally abraded surfaces. Some light toning spots are scattered over each side. Population: 15 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1919 1C MS68 Red PCGS. The 1919 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln issue, the first postwar cents, had an unusually high mintage of 392 million pieces. This date was frequently found in circulation in the 1950s and 1960s. Of course, pieces that qualify as MS68 by today's standards are seldom encountered. This splendid coin makes an excellent high grade example of this date. The surfaces display fiery red color with glints of jade, and the striking details are complete throughout. The only mentionable flaws are a couple of microflecks in the field above the date. An outstanding early Lincoln cent. Population: 14 in 68 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

1919-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Strictly original fiery orange-gold color with glints of hazel on the high points and a marvelously sharp strike are among the many bonuses for the buyer of this lovely Premium Gem Red coin. The 1919-D issue usually comes with a poor strike or mottled color, features the present issue avoids. Note the completion of all of the reverse lettering, the full wheat ears on both sides of the reverse, and the two distinct lines of the coat all the way from front to back at the neck.

1919-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1919-S Lincoln cent issue is an enormous one at 139 million pieces, and until the 1950s-1960s well-worn examples of the 1919-S could be found in circulation. At the Gem Red level of the present coin, however, the issue is extremely elusive, where PCGS has certified 21 examples with one finer (4/10). This piece is a sharply struck example with original flaming-red color, accented by small hints of hazel and ice-blue. The bow tie, coat, hair details, beard, date, and mintmark are all sharp. The reverse displays equal sharpness, save for moderate softness on the AM of AMERICA. A marvelous example.

1920 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. A fantastic Superb Gem, immensely appealing with fresh copper-gold surfaces that show whispers of pink and orange. The strike is crisp, normal for this issue but an occasional point of concern, and the fields are smooth and attractive. Though Lange describes this issue as " ... common in all grades, including choice and gem uncirculated," an MS67 Red survivor is far more difficult to come by. The combined certified population shows just eight such pieces, three graded by NGC and five by PCGS, with no Red pieces numerically finer (4/10).

1920-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. With a mintage of under 50 million pieces, the 1920-D is a lower-mintage but not necessarily elusive issue. In circulated grades, most collectors can spend a reasonable amount of money and come away contented. The buyer who demands the best, however, is far more difficult to satisfy. David Lange notes that most Mint State examples are of "mediocre quality," with strike and luster to blame; dies were pushed well beyond the point of optimal retirement, and color anomalies were common even before the coins left the Denver Mint grounds. Perhaps the most memorable commentary on this issue comes from Q. David Bowers, who writes in the
Guide Book of Lincoln Cents that "Finding a
sharply struck gem with
original color [italics his] is almost, but not quite, an impossibility."
The present coin is tangible proof. The luster of this Premium Gem example is not flashy (a 1920-D that has the appearance of a 1920-P should be checked for an added mintmark), but it is more than adequate. The strike is uncommonly bold and from a desirable earlier die state; the lines in the wheat ears and the details of the portrait are bold. The smooth copper-orange of the obverse gives way to elements of brick-red and lavender on the reverse, the latter color almost approaching violet in areas. With just five MS66 Red examples known to PCGS and none finer (4/10), this 1920-D cent is utterly unsurpassable, a point the Lincoln cent aficionado should remember.

1920-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. The 1920-S is one of the keys to the Lincoln cent series in high grade and with full Red color. It is scarce even in MS63 Red. In Gem Red condition, NGC has only certified nine pieces and PCGS has graded 10 coins, with none finer at either service (4/10). This impressive coin displays bright mint red color with a lovely lilac accent over portions of each side. The strike is typical for the issue. Light die striations are noted on the obverse which give that side added brightness. Census: 10 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1921-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1921-S Lincoln has been known as difficult issue for many years. With a mintage of only 15 million pieces, examples were rarely found in circulation even back in the 1950s. From the collector's standpoint, average Uncirculated coins are not that difficult to locate and are moderately priced. But the real stopper is a 1921-S with full Red color. In Gem condition, NGC and PCGS combined have certified only 20 Gem Red coins, 17 by PCGS and three by NGC. None are finer at either service.
This coin lacks the often-seen "woodgrain" texture on many 1921-S cents. The surfaces range from almond-tan to reddish-violet, but a loupe reveals tiny iridescent areas with bits of lime-green, lilac, and orange-red on each side. The strike is good but not full (we doubt that a fully struck 1921-S would exist), with considerable definition on the reverse but soft details on Lincoln's beard and the mintmark, as often seen. The date is boldly brought up. A rare opportunity for Lincoln cent collectors.

1922-D 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Lincoln cents were only minted in Denver in 1922, due to a poor economy with little need for small coinage. The 1922 cents lacking a mintmark were actually struck in Denver, the so-called 1922 No D cents. Shades of copper-pink and yellow-gold adorn the lustrous surfaces of this attractive Premium Gem 1922-D. The sharp strike is responsible for a pleasing wealth of detail on the design elements, including the mintmark. Only some lines in the rightmost wheat stalk reveal minor softness. The 1922-D is an in-demand semikey issue in the Lincoln cent series, and this example, devoid of mentionable marks or spots, should find a nice new home. Population: 10 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse MS64 Red and Brown NGC. FS-401. Die Pair 2. An amazing example of the popular 1922 No D cent with the strong reverse. Multiple die varieties have been described as 1922 No D cents in recent times, including by the various grading services. Only examples like the present piece, from the Strong Reverse die pair, also known as Die Pair 2, are the true No D cents. Years ago, all others were called 1922 Weak D cents, and carried little premium.
The interest in this variety is a result of the 1922 cent production occurring only at the Denver Mint. Had additional pieces been coined in Philadelphia in 1922, the variety would never have been recognized. David Lange writes in
The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents: "The significance and great value attached to the 1922 cent without mintmark D is based entirely on the curious coincidence of no cents being coined at the Philadelphia Mint during 1922. There's no telling how many other times that cents were issued from the branch mints without a visible mintmark; such pieces are automatically branded as P-Mint coins, though the generally poor state of the dies would be a clue to their real status."
Over the years, and even until quite recently, there has been some difference of opinion regarding the importance of this variety. It is known today that the No D was the result of dressing or lapping a clash marked obverse die, in the process removing all signs of the mintmark. The old reverse die was discarded, and replaced with a new die. In 1945, an article in
The Numismatist explained the variety as a simple weak strike, and as recently as 2005, one explanation was that they were produced from grease filled dies.
This amazing cent is fully and completely lustrous, with nearly full red mint frost that is just beginning to show evidence of pale lilac and blue toning on the highpoints and in the fields. A realistic estimate seems to be about 70% original red color. Census: 5 in 64 Red and Brown, 0 finer (4/10).

1923-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. In the 1950s, when Lincoln cents were principally collected from pocket change, no one regarded the 1923-S as a key to a high grade collection. Certainly, the 1923-S was considered a better date, but one that could be found (in worn grades) with sufficient searching. As quality and specialization became increasingly important, the 1923-S rose in significance. PCGS published population reports that pointed out the rarity of the 1923-S in full Red. Registry Sets were formed, focusing demand on the 1923-S and other difficult branch mint issues from the teens and twenties, such as the 1918-S or 1926-S.
Today, a 1923-S with consistent orange-red color and smooth, nearly carbon-free surfaces is a coveted opportunity for the Lincoln enthusiast. The present Gem offers those features, and the strike is sharp save for minor blending on the right border of the right wheat ear. Census: 2 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

The present example example is decently struck, though showing minor softness in the hair over Lincoln's ear, the beard, and a few letters of STATES and AMERICA.

1932-D 1C MS67 Red NGC. The 1932-D is the most difficult of the 1932-PD and 1933-PD Lincolns to find in the top certified grade of MS67 Red. This sharply struck and highly lustrous Superb Gem Red example boasts a flame-red obverse, with the reverse a more subdued orange-tan color, all strictly within the Red confines. Some purple bits appear around and on the portrait, and the strike is a bit soft there as well. Census: 13 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1934-D 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Although the Lincoln cent issues of 1934 and later are considered more available overall than those of 1933 and before--which is true--the 1934-D at the Superb Gem level is every bit as difficult as the 1933-D. This MS67 Red 1934-D boasts intense two-toned color and extraordinary eye appeal. The centers are meticulously struck and brick-red, while the margins on each side display a thin ring of lilac and mint. An unimprovable example. Population: 22 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1935-S 1C MS67 Red PCGS. The 1935-S issue is one of the most difficult mintmarked coins of the post-1933 Lincoln cent collection, the era in which mintages at Denver and San Francisco gradually increased to the many millions of coins. This Superb Gem Red 1935-S is one of the seven finest certified at PCGS. The flaming brick-red surfaces reveal remarkably even coloration throughout, with no distracting carbon. The strike is excellent and nearly complete, and the overall eye appeal is as remarkable as ever seen for the issue. Another superior coin for a fine Registry set.

1936 1C Doubled Die Obverse Type One MS66 Red PCGS. FS-101. Strong doubling appears on LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the date, most particularly on the last digit 6, which shows a prominent second loop northeast of the first loop. More doubling is obvious to the right of each of 193. This splendid Premium Gem offers brick-red surfaces with flaming luster and a near-total absence of carbon or other distractions, save for a single fleck on the cheek and a small scrape on the chin. The reverse appears fully struck, the obverse somewhat less so. This piece is one of six MS66 Red pieces certified at PCGS, and a single MS67 Red coin is finer (4/10).

1937-D 1C MS68 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. This Depression-era issue receives nearly uniform praise for its high production values, and sharp strikes and impressive luster are the norm, rather than the exception. Despite this rise in overall quality, coins that transcend the MS67 Red designation remain supreme rarities; this is one of just two examples so graded by PCGS and one by NGC (4/10). Fiery orange and peach surfaces offer powerful, radiant luster, and the crisply detailed portrait is essentially flawless. An amazing, distinctive piece that can give an extra edge to the competitive Registry Set collector.

1944-D Lincoln Cent--Struck on a Zinc-Coated Steel Planchet--AU55 NGC. 2.8 gm. The off-metal branch mint 1943 and 1944 cents have small populations compared to their P-mint counterparts. The standard explanation for the 1943 bronze cents is that there were hundreds of millions more cents struck at Philadelphia that year than there were at Denver and San Francisco combined. Much the same logic could be applied to the 1944 steel cents, but there is an added wrinkle to their story.
An emergency coinage for Belgium during the waning days of World War II was struck at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, and according to David Lange in his Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, the coinage, denomination two francs, was designed specifically to use leftover steel cent planchets on hand from the previous year. With so many steel planchets in use at the same time copper-alloy cents were being struck, it would be understandable if some of the old steel planchets found their way between 1944-dated cent dies. San Francisco and Denver, however, never presented this opportunity for cross-contamination, and the known population of 1944-S and 1944-D steel cents may well be lower as a result.
This piece still exhibits much of its original subdued luster, with appealing powder-gray surfaces that are free of distractions, despite the few darker charcoal-gray flecks that appear only under a loupe. The strike is impressive, although a hair-thin scrape appears at just the correct angle under a loupe in the right obverse field. Die erosion creates some frosty areas near the obverse border. A small planchet indentation on the reverse, under the T of CENT, provides a pedigree marker but is likely as made at the Mint.

1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS65 Red PCGS. FS-101. Due to the manner in which 1955 Doubled Die cents were released to the public, i.e., through vending machines in the Boston area in the summer of 1955, most survivors today show subdued mint red color at best, and most are brown or have just a bit of red remaining. This coin has unusually bright, shimmering orange-red luster with faint traces of cherry-red around the obverse devices. A few flyspecks of carbon are seen over each side, but there are no large spots or obvious abrasions on either the obverse or reverse of this lovely and highly lustrous Gem example. Population: 18 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1969-S 1C Doubled Die MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. FS-101. While both the 1955 and 1972 Doubled Die Lincoln cents are perennial favorites among students of the series, its 1969-S counterpart was all but overlooked until recent years. Despite dramatic doubling on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST, this error suffered from the negative press that surrounded several counterfeit P-mint cents of the same year. Negative press cannot, however, disguise the fact that this error is legitimately rare in all levels of preservation. Numismatic scholars speculate that only a few hundred pieces were produced in the year of issue.
Alongside these 1969-S Doubled Die Lincoln cents, a large number of machine-doubled 1969-S cents exist, and they are extremely common and have no numismatic value. Fortunately, differentiating the varieties is simple. The machine-doubled pieces have all of the obverse lettering doubled, including the mintmark. Since the mintmark was placed in the die after it was hubbed, true doubled die examples have a normal, undoubled S below the date.
The present Mint State survivor displays predominantly orange-red surfaces with pale blue-gray overtones on the obverse. All features are boldly defined and the doubling is readily evident to the naked eye. Needless to say, only a carefully considered bid will win this piece--an example of one of the most legendary and in-demand Lincoln cent varieties--for an advanced assembly of Lincoln cents. This MS64 Red and Brown piece is tied for the numerically finest certified with two MS64 Red examples at PCGS (4/10).

1972 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS67 Red PCGS. FS-101. This is the most popular of the various Doubled Die Obverse issues known for the year, exhibiting a strong spread that is especially noticeable on the first few letters of LIBERTY and the last digits in the date, a variety that actually approaches the drama of the 1955 Doubled Die Obverse. For some reason, 1972 Doubled Die cents are usually found with abrasions and carbon spots. This piece is atypical, since it offers virtually mark-free surfaces with no obvious spots on either side. Bright peach and sun-gold luster covers both sides. Population for all Doubled Die varieties: 16 in 67 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

Proof Lincoln Cents
1909 1C VDB PR65 Red PCGS. This splendid Gem Red 1909 VDB matte proof shows the diagnostics of the die pair that for many years was thought to be the only one used to produce the matte proofs, although a second pair has recently surfaced that lacks those diagnostics. Kevin Flynn outlines the diagnostics of the originally known die pair in the recently released (2009)
Lincoln Cent Matte Proofs:"A single set of working dies is [until recently] believed to have struck all 1,194 1909 VDB matte proof specimens. All die states show a die scratch from the back of the jacket into the field below the T of LIBERTY and also die scratches in front of the nose. A late die state specimen shows a die crack from the rim through the dot then through the B of V.D.B. The obverse die was also used to strike 1909 matte proofs. A second pair of working dies was photographed 12 years ago which was certified as a matte proof. This may have been an early state of a business strike."
On this coin, the die line behind the jacket actually extends to the midway point between the R and T in LIBERTY. The die lines in front of the nose are a parallel group, all running north-northwest to south-southeast. This piece also shows the "late state" die crack Flynn describes, from the rim through the period and to the B in the designer's initials. A tiny crescent-shaped die chip right of the M in UNUM is also diagnostic. The rims are fully squared up, and the hair and beard details are far beyond what is usually seen on business strikes. The fully Red color ranges from almond-tan to golden-orange, although a small bit of violet color appears in the right obverse field, and a small gray spot appears just to top and right of the last 9. These are minor quibbles, however, on what is essentially a marvelous and completely undistracting specimen of this issue, among the most storied and legendary in the entire Lincoln cent series. A rare opportunity for the many legions of Lincoln cent collectors. Population: 7 in 65 Red, 9 finer (4/10).

1909 1C PR66 Red PCGS. This 1909 "plain" matte proof shows the same die diagnostics as the 1909 VDB obverse die most commonly known. As Kevin Flynn points out in his reference, the same obverse die was used for both mintages. There is a straight die line that extends from the rear of Lincoln's coat to beneath RT of LIBERTY, and some parallel die lines appear in the right obverse field by the nose.
This piece displays otherwise orange-red luster that assumes a lilac cast in the peripheral areas at the lower obverse and reverse borders. The smooth, sharp surfaces are virtually pristine, and the only mentionable blemish is a tiny, undistracting carbon fleck on the reverse at the N in CENT. Population: 39 in 66 Red, 6 finer (4/10).

1910 1C PR67 Red NGC. The early Lincoln cent dates such as 1909 (no VDB) and 1910 offer some of the best opportunities to obtain high-end matte proofs, though coins so carefully preserved as this Red Superb Gem specimen are few and far between. Gleaming almond-tan and orange-gold surfaces on both sides appear entirely free of contact, although some minor dark flecks occur on the reverse, invisible without a loupe. The surfaces show the typical fine-grained, pebbly mattelike texture expected.
The strike is much sharper than found on any circulation-strike Lincoln, with two completely separated coat lines at the neck and full articulation on Lincoln's beard and hairline. On the reverse, all of the letters of the legends are crisp, as are the wheat ears from top to bottom. Census: 2 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

1909-S VDB 1C XF40 PCGS. A pleasing olive-brown example of the always popular and desirable 1909-S VDB cent, the key to the Lincoln cent series. This piece has smooth surfaces with traces of verdigris in some of the letters.(

1909-S VDB 1C --Environmental Damage--NGC Details. AU. This sharply struck example has myriad tiny verdigris spots on its olive-brown surfaces.(
Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. Actual circulation wear is trivial, but this lustrous key date cent is bright due to unnatural sun-gold and lime-green color. Both sides have a few minute spots, but no marks are relevant.(
Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C AU55 NGC. Violet-brown surfaces show faint glimmers of luster on this lightly worn first-year key cent. Solid design definition completes the eye appeal of this piece, which would make a solid inclusion in an otherwise Mint State set.(
Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc. Sharply struck with mattelike surfaces. The color is an artificially bright yellow in the centers that shifts to a more naturalistic orange near the rims.
1909-S VDB 1C MS62 Brown PCGS. Rich walnut-brown color on the obverse takes on blue overtones on the reverse. A well-defined example of this ever-popular issue, housed in a green label holder.(
Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C MS63 Brown PCGS. The initial orange color clings to design recesses, although the open fields and the portrait are toned brown. This lustrous key date cent has precisely struck VDB initials, while carbon and contact are of little consequence.(
Registry values: N991)
1909-S VDB 1C MS64 Brown NGC. The lustrous and unmarked fields and devices are devoid of carbon. Rich apple-green and tan-brown toning blends throughout. The strike is intricate, including on the all-important VDB initials.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS64 Brown PCGS. Traces of orange-red accompany protected areas, but this satiny key date cent is predominantly chocolate-brown. Minor contact is limited to Lincoln's vest. A pleasing example of this eternal collector favorite.(
Registry values: N1793)

Several pieces in the present sale provide collectors with a choice of grades.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Like most examples of the issue, this 1909-S VDB offers a sharp strike, even on areas such as the top of the O in ONE that are often found weakly struck on later mintmarked issues. This piece possesses much mint red still present, with others areas tending to a brownish-violet color and some iridescent shading present. An appealing coin.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This is a nice, sharply struck, commendable example of the 1909-S VDB that has just barely stepped over the threshold of a Red designation to the Red and Brown area. The designer's initials on the reverse and the separating periods are sharp as well, although minor softness appears on the last 9 in the date. PCGS has graded only 29 Red and Brown examples finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red and Brown NGC. The strike on this coin is exceptionally strong on the VDB initials and most of the obverse details, save for a hint of softness at the collar lines where they cross the neck. The surfaces are mostly a glossy milk-chocolate, with gleaming mint red outlining the devices and lettering, a bit more prominent on the reverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Gleaming surfaces on this splendid Premium Gem appear quite close to the full Red designation, and even under a loupe, abrasions are seemingly absent. A few microscopic flecks appear in the obverse fields but do little to detract from the appeal. The strike is a bit mushy on the designer's initials, as seen on many examples of the issue. This piece is one of only 45 specimens certified by NGC at the MS66 Red and Brown level, and there are none finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-S VDB 1C MS64 Red PCGS. This is a lovely near-Gem of this popular key date, displaying a bit of the woodgrain toning that the cents of 1909 frequently show. There are four known mintmark positions for 1909-S VDB cents, and this coin shows the lowest and rightmost position of the four. The mintmark is far below the bottoms of both 9s in the date, and the left side of the S mintmark is just barely to the left of the 0 in the date, so that it is almost entirely under that digit. The strike is sharp on this piece and there are few abrasions present.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red NGC. Even the designer's initials are boldly struck on this delightful Gem Red coin, something that not all examples of this key issue at this level can boast. Copper-orange dominates the lower obverse, with a crescent of greenish-gold above Lincoln's head. The reverse is a bit deeper-hued and reveals a single small dark toning fleck under a loupe, one that fails to dampen the allure. NGC has certified 44 Red examples finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The collector is presented with an amazing opportunity to acquire a fully brilliant and attractive Gem representative of the famous 1909-S VDB cent, one of the most widely recognized 20th century coins. Collectors and non-collectors alike are familiar with this rarity. This example has a sharp strike with hints of green and iridescent toning over brilliant orange mint luster.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909 1C MS67 Red PCGS. A fantastic example of this first-year issue, elusive as a Red Superb Gem but often overshadowed by its VDB counterpart. Swirling luster dominates subtly textured surfaces that showcase intense orange colors with suggestions of rose. Boldly impressed and delightful in all respects. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded an MS68 Red example (4/10).(
Registry values: N491)
1909-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. This low-mintage, first-year branch mint Gem is both well struck and unabraded. Lustrous with apricot and sun-gold color. Minor carbon is noted on the reverse exergue and near the profile and collar.(

1909-S 1C S Over Horizontal S MS65 Red PCGS. FS-1502. This beautiful Gem has vibrant luster and consistent peach-gold color. A lens reveals only inconsequential carbon. A popular blundered mintmark variety of this low mintage first-year issue.(
Registry values: P2)
1910-S 1C MS67 Red NGC. By 1910, the novelty value of the Lincoln cent had worn off, and the 1910-S issue in particular was little saved; as a result, high-end survivors from this issue of slightly over 6 million pieces are elusive and desirable. Q. David Bowers comments in his
Guide Book of Lincoln Cents, "A blazing gem with original color is scarce if sharply struck and with good eye appeal." This Superb Gem passes muster in all respects, and the lemon-tinged copper-peach surfaces have particularly appealing luster and considerable fire. Census: 3 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1912-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. This 1912-D cent has brilliant orange mint luster with frosty surfaces and bold design details. Magnification reveals a few tiny carbon flecks on this otherwise appealing piece.(
Registry values: N1793)
1912-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Both sides of this sharply defined and eye appealing Gem have brilliant orange mint luster with frosty surfaces. A few inactive carbon specks prevent a higher grade. PCGS has only certified 13 finer examples of this issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1912-S 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This handsome Gem has brick-red borders and olive centers. Satiny and unabraded. The strike is essentially unimprovable. Another challenging early branch mint issue seldom encountered in unspotted Uncirculated grades.(

1914-D 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. This key issue is certified in a small green-label holder. The fields on each side are faded lilac, with the devices and part of the fields alternating that shade with a medium brown. Some luster resides over each side, and no contact is evident. An interesting die crack runs from the obverse rim at 5 o'clock up onto the forward coat and to the bow tie. PCGS has graded 39 Red and Brown coins finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1915-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Light satin luster with a mixture of copper-orange shadings on each side. Well-defined with a small spot noted to the right of Lincoln's lips. PCGS has graded 17 Red examples in higher grades (4/10).(

1915-D 1C MS66 Red NGC. This exemplary Premium Gem has flashy fields and an unabraded appearance. Carbon is virtually absent. Rose and sun-gold swaths endow both sides.

1919-S 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This mark-free Gem is nicely struck save for weakness opposite Lincoln's shoulder. Apricot and lime-green surfaces display infrequent minor carbon.

Ex: Brian Loncar Collection (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 5348.(

1920-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. A well struck branch mint Gem whose pumpkin-gold fields and devices display only a couple of minute flecks. A highly attractive cent that has remained unchanged since placed in its green label holder more than a decade ago. Population: 84 in 65 Red, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1921-S 1C MS65 Red and Brown NGC. The lustrous surfaces show an amalgam of deep, variegated red-gold and purple-rose patina, with occasional glints of lime-green color also noted on each side. Well struck throughout and carefully preserved, with mark-free surfaces that display minimal carbon. Census: 33 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1922-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Blond-gold and orange-red compete for space on this highly lustrous and delightful Gem semikey, one of the most popular Lincoln cent issues of the 1920s due to its low mintage and other factors (perhaps its association with the 1922 No D cents). The strike is well brought up on both sides, although the reverse die shows some evidence of erosion, and a die crack runs through the right wheat ear. A few dark flecks that appear only under a loupe are scarcely worth mentioning. Population: 82 in 65 Red, 10 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse VF25 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. The comparatively sharp TRUST, and the bold second 2 in the date, confirm this desirable Lincoln cent variety. The lines within the wheat ears are generally distinct, and the chocolate-brown fields are unblemished.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse VF30 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. The bold lines in the wheat ears on the reverse stand out despite moderate wear. Golden-brown peripheral and fields accents light up surfaces that have a walnut shade overall.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse VF30 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. A pleasing example of the true 1922 Plain variety with a weak obverse and strong reverse. This desirable piece has moderate wear on both sides, with the reverse appearing about two grades stronger than the obverse. These coins are graded by the reverse only.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse VF35 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. This deep brown representative retains pleasing sharpness on the wheat ears, although IN GOD WE is blurry due to the use of a well-worn obverse die. A few faded thin marks are noted above LIBERTY.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse XF40 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. This medium brown key date cent has pleasing detail on the wheat ears. Close inspection locates a few small, moderate marks and a whisper of granularity on the reverse near 6:30.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse XF40 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. Bold blue-brown color and considerable glossy luster. The obverse is characteristically weak, while the reverse has this die pair's signature bold lines in the wheat ears.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse AU50 PCGS. CAC. FS-401. Die Pair 2. The weaker first 2 in the date diagnoses the Die Pair 2, the official 1922 No D cent, along with the Strong Reverse, of course, although the Weak D two varieties both show the first 2 in the date stronger than the second 2. The No D also shows TRUST stronger than IN GOD WE. This piece has pleasing milk-chocolate surfaces with no mentionable marks other than a few ticks on Lincoln's hair and cheek.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse AU50 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. The weak obverse and strong reverse are characteristics of all Die Pair 2 examples, the only true 1922 Plain Lincoln cents. The other known die pairs are 1 and 3, both considered Weak D varieties. Although light surface marks are evident, the overall eye appeal is exceptional.(
Registry values: P2)
1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse AU53 NGC. FS-401. Die Pair 2. A lightly circulated example of this key Lincoln cent variety. Chocolate-brown overall with a few streaks of deep gray on the left obverse border and the highpoints of the portrait. No marks are consequential, but a tiny spot is noted above the N in ONE.(

1925 1C MS67 Red PCGS. From a mintage of nearly 140 million pieces, the 1925 Lincoln cent is an available date in all grades up to the Premium Gem level. In Superb Gem Red condition, the issue becomes quite scarce, and no specimen has been graded finer within the Red designation by either leading grading service (4/10). Sharp striking details and bright original color distinguish this specimen and, in combination with the high technical grade, make it an ideal choice for a fine Registry collection.(
Registry values: N991)
1926 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Rich pumpkin-gold centers are framed by butter-gold margins. Booming luster and an exemplary strike combine with mark-free surfaces. Population: 79 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).(

Registry values: N491)
1927-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. The 1927-S Lincoln cent issue is a difficult one, due both to strike and occasional planchet problems. This lustrous Red Gem has a better-than-average strike, save for softness on the O in ONE. The attractive surfaces are orange-gold with only a few trivial flecks. One of the finest certified at either service. Census: 7 in 65 Red, 0 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1928 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Lovely honey-gold and olive colors invigorate this suitably struck and highly lustrous Superb Gem. The surfaces are nearly free from contact, and the only hint of carbon is a tiny fleck on the obverse rim at 7 o'clock. Due to its Philadelphia Mint status, little attention was paid to the 1928 Cent until recent years, but its scarcity in high Mint State grades places it under strong demand from Registry Set collectors. Population: 53 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 11/2004), lot 5546, which realized $2,300.(
Registry values: N991)
1928-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. The 1928-S at the Gem Red level is considerably more difficult than generally realized outside of the specialist community. This example boasts an adequate strike, sharper on the obverse, with mellow orange coloration. Certified in a green-label holder, this piece shows some hits on the lower bust that preclude an even finer grade. Population: 42 in 65 Red, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1929 1C MS67 Red PCGS. This orange-red Superb Gem has unimprovable luster and a pleasing strike. No field marks are visible, and carbon is essentially absent. A desirable representative with none better seen at either service. Population: 44 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1929-S 1C MS67 Red NGC. The obverse is orange-red save for an occasional wisp of powder-blue. The reverse features diverse shades of sun-gold, peach-red, and lilac. Highly lustrous, with splendid eye appeal, and one of the finest known. Census: 2 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1931 1C MS67 Red NGC. The well struck surfaces display radiant orange-red mint luster, and seemingly flawless preservation. The obverse fields are especially noteworthy and free from abrasions. No example of this issue has been graded finer at either of the major services. Census: 11 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1931-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. One of the key-date issues among Lincoln cents with a low mintage of just 866,000 coins, the second lowest mintage of any date and mintmark combination in the entire Lincoln cent series. This pumpkin-gold Premium Gem has exemplary luster and an undisturbed appearance. Population: 83 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 7/2004), lot 5297, which realized $2,300.(

1941 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red NGC. FS-101. An "old school" doubled die in the words of Fivaz-Stanton, with the most notable spread on the B of LIBERTY and the S in TRUST. Bright orange to copper-gold surfaces show a spot of opaque color below the second 1 in the date.
1942-S/S 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS67 Red ANACS. FS-101. This brilliant Superb Gem is an amazing example of the elusive doubled die variety that is an exception to the rule that branch mint doubled die varieties have normal mintmarks. In the case of this variety, the obverse die is doubled, and the mintmark is repunched. Both sides are boldly struck with frosty luster.(
Registry values: N69)
1950-D 1C MS67 Red NGC. Vibrant peach and copper-orange colors dominate the eye appeal of this solidly struck Superb Gem. A single tiny flyspeck is noted on the right obverse rim. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer Red representative (4/10).(
Registry values: N491)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse--Obverse Cleaned--ANACS. Unc Details, Net AU50. FS-101. A sharply struck example of the famous doubled die with no trace of wear.

Registry values: N991)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse AU50 NGC. FS-101. A lightly worn example of this boldly doubled variant with deep walnut-brown surfaces. A few colorful accents are present, including flickers of olive and blue.(

1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse AU55 NGC. FS-101. Deep brown surfaces are glossy with prominent blue and violet overtones. Minimally abraded but with minor rub across the high points. The doubling has a clear appearance.(
Registry values: N991)
1955 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Red PCGS. FS-101. Though strongly doubled dies had appeared on American coinage before the 1955 doubled die cents came to light, few collectors appreciated them. The 1955 pieces, however, were so visually striking and such blatant errors that they fired the imaginations of thousands, numismatists and non-numismatists alike. The coins also inspired collectors to learn more about the minting process, which offered greater insight into collecting other errors and oddities produced by the U.S. Mint.
This fiery example has pale copper-orange surfaces with subtle pink and rose inflections. The strike is crisp, and the doubling at the obverse margin is bold as always. An attractive coin that could find a place in the finest of Lincoln cent collections. PCGS has graded a mere 18 finer Red examples (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1972 1C Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red NGC. FS-101. This fire-red Premium Gem has booming luster and an absence of carbon. The strike is intricate, and the eye appeal is formidable. FS-101 is easily the most prominent of the several doubled die cent varieties from 1972.(

Proof Lincoln Cents
1912 1C PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. An attractive Red and Brown Gem specimen of this popular matte proof Lincoln cent issue, decidedly more Red than Brown with light green and violet peripheral elements gracing scarcely-turned copper-gold surfaces. Sharply detailed and exquisitely appealing, a largely undisturbed beauty. Population: 40 in 65 Red and Brown, 10 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1913 1C PR65 Red and Brown NGC. This fully struck proof Lincoln cent has bold design details on both sides with lovely surfaces and rich lime, violet, and orange color. A few tiny spots are of little concern when considered with the balance of the surfaces that are pristine.(
Registry values: N991)
1914 1C PR64 Red and Brown NGC. Dusky orange, ruby, claret, and walnut-brown shades flicker across this matte proof cent. Excellent design definition with minor carbon and a few small disturbances of the surface texture. Census: 26 in 64 Red and Brown, 65 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N491)
1914 1C PR65 Red and Brown NGC. This Gem is more Red in appearance than Brown with copper-orange surfaces that are dusky with green-brown overtones. Impressively detailed and pleasingly preserved with minimal carbon. Census: 34 in 65 Red and Brown, 31 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1915 1C PR65 Brown PCGS. As usual, "Brown" scarcely serves to describe the lovely coloration on this matte proof. Deep pink, purple, gold, and mint take turns on the obverse, while the reverse displays pink and purple predominating. The strike is razor-sharp, among the boldest we have seen for the issue. A super piece for the matte proof Lincoln aficionados.(
Registry values: N491)
1936 1C Type One--Satin Finish PR66 Red PCGS. The Satin Finish proofs are readily distinguished due to the lack of brilliance on the devices, as well as a somewhat pebbly unpolished texture in the fields. This Premium Gem Red coin displays vibrant obverse luster, with sunset-orange color alternating with blond high points. The reverse luster is a bit more subdued because of some horizontal light-tan streaks. An attractive and well-struck coin. Population: 23 in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1)
1936 1C Type Two--Brilliant Finish PR66 Red PCGS. The first year of modern proof Lincoln cent mintage, the 1936 was made to the extent of only 5,569 coins. Mellow golden-orange fields contrast with some silver-gray coloration on Lincoln's cheek and neck. This is a fully struck piece with good eye appeal, despite a few minor dark flecks on the reverse that are unbothersome. Population: 29 in 66 Red, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1937 1C PR67 Red Cameo PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. Although a handful of 1937 proof Lincolns, with a total mintage of 9,320 coins, are certified at PCGS in grades up to PR67 Red, in PR67 Red Cameo this piece is tied for finest certified with only one other coin--or else this piece has been submitted twice. Considerable contrast that appears to verge on Deep Cameo appears on each side of this stunning sunset-orange piece, and the effect is especially noticeable on the wheat ears and lettering of the reverse. A likely candidate for acquisition by Registry Set collectors of the popular Lincoln cent series.(

1938 1C PR67 Red PCGS. Two years after their inception, the proof mintage of the Lincoln cent had increased from less than 6,000 coins in 1936 to nearly 15,000 in 1938. This splendid Superb Gem offers deep, intense brick-red coloration on the obverse, with some small areas of hazel on the high points. Larger quantities of hazel predominate in the center reverse, with brick-red at the rims. Carbon is absent. Population: 28 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N491)
1939 1C PR67 Red PCGS. Bright golden-red color with no spotting or other apparent distractions. A sharply struck Red Superb Gem specimen that is tied for finest certified by NGC or PCGS (4/10).(

1940 1C PR67 Red PCGS. Gleaming sunset-orange coloration throughout and a bold strike greet the viewer of this marvelous Superb Gem Red proof. Only three or four minuscule flecks appear on the reverse, scarcely worthy of mention. This piece is one of only 10 so graded at PCGS, and there are none finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1942 1C PR66 Red Cameo PCGS. The pleasing cameo contrast is enhanced with bright golden patina that deepens slightly to cherry-red at selected border areas. A remarkable, fully original survivor. Proofs from 1936 to 1942 are rarely encountered with any depth of cameo contrast, and the present premium Gem is an exception. Population: 3 in 66 Cameo, 1 finer (4/10).(

1990 No S Proof Cent in a 1990 Prestige Set. The Prestige Sets combined regular proof sets for a year with a silver commemorative, usually a silver dollar. This Prestige Set from 1990, however, is more prestigious than most, for it contains a prized 1990 No S proof cent. The cent has great Red surfaces and bold contrast; the other coins show minor peripheral toning and a few tiny milk spots. Housed in the U.S. Mint holder of issue and comes with original box.
Two Cent Pieces
1864 2C Small Motto AU58 PCGS. CAC. FS-401. Luster glimmers from chocolate-brown surfaces. Marks are essentially absent aside from solitary vertical lines left of the C in CENTS and beneath the left fletchings. A scarce and briefly issued design subtype.(
Registry values: N991)
1864 2C Small Motto MS65 Brown NGC. CAC. FS-401. The elusive Small Motto variety of the 1864 two cent is most often identified by the short or "squashed" letter D in GOD on the obverse. While this Gem is described as "Brown," one glance is sufficient to take in the overt peach, orange, and rose overtones that grace each side. Housed in a prior-generation holder.(

1864 2C Small Motto MS65 Brown PCGS. FS-401. The first T in TRUST grazes the ribbon fold nearby, and the leaf stem below is bold. On the reverse, die cracks join many of the peripheral letters and devices at their bottoms. This attractive medium-brown Gem example has a smattering of light gold near the rims on each side. This is a well struck piece with slight weakness only on the left-side center leaves, as often seen, but here stronger than on most examples. Population: 13 in 65 Brown, 0 finer (4/10).(

1864 2C Small Motto MS64 Red and Brown NGC. FS-401. Labeled on the insert with the old designation, FS-000.5. A popular key issue in the short two cent series, the 1864 Small Motto is many times rarer than its Large Motto counterpart. This lovely near-Gem piece has attractive almond-tan surfaces with few marks and lots of Mint red remaining, but its appeal is enhanced enormously by the interesting network of die cracks on the reverse, some of them quite bold. A really neat coin, produced from a reverse die clearly on the verge of failure. Census: 52 in 64 Red and Brown, 71 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1864 2C Large Motto MS65 Red NGC. This denomination, which lasted just one decade, saw its highest mintage in the first year of issue, and many collectors seek such examples for type purposes. This Gem displays vivid sunset-orange color in the centers with a touch of crimson at the obverse periphery. A few tiny toning freckles appear on the reverse.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2007), lot 297, which realized $1,437.50.(

1864 2C Large Motto MS66 Red NGC. The color is tan-gold and the strike is bold, producing clear articulation on most of the obverse details save for a couple of leaves on the upper right. The reverse, while sharp overall, also reveals some weakness in the same relative area, suggesting a slight die misalignment. A few scattered flecks appear only under a loupe. This piece possesses great appeal overall and would be a fine acquisition for a first-year type set. Census: 41 in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10).(

1870 2C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. A luminous near-Gem example of this underrated two cent issue. Well struck with largely violet-brown color but also muted copper-orange at the borders.(
Registry values: N991)
1870 2C MS64 Red NGC. By 1870 the mintage of the two cent business strikes had sunk below 1 million--to be exact, 861,250 coins--and would never again return to seven digits. This charming near-Gem offers almond-tan coloration with lots of eye appeal, despite the small patches of charcoal in the shield. A couple of small abrasions account for the grade. Census: 11 in 64 Red, 8 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1871 2C MS65 Brown PCGS. CAC. Lustrous brown surfaces show tinges of original orange mint color on this attractive Gem. A single dark spot is evident on the obverse in the upper right branch. Population: 4 in 65 Brown, 0 finer (4/10).(

Proof Two Cent Pieces
1865 2C PR66 Red Cameo NGC. Plain 5. From a proof mintage of 500 pieces. This is a beautiful Premium Gem proof, with brilliantly mirrored fields and sharply struck devices. The surfaces display bright, copper-gold color with virtually no distractions. A prize for the type collector or two cent specialist. Census: 0 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10). Census: 1 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P3)
1868 2C PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. A sharply defined Gem proof, this piece retains nearly all of its original orange and rose color on both sides, with just enough brown toning to prevent a Red designation. Both sides have a few tiny spots and contact marks that limit the grade. Population: 40 in 65 Red and Brown, 6 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1868 2C PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. The obverse of this lovely Premium Gem proof is decidedly more Red than Brown, with fresh copper-orange color over most of that side. The upper obverse has deep crimson-brown color, however, and while the reverse peripheral zones are "Red," the wreath area offers slight variations on a pale green hue. Among the finest certified at PCGS of the mere 600 proofs struck. Population: 5 in 66 Red and Brown, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1871 2C PR66 Brown NGC. TRUST is die doubled, characteristic of proofs of this better date. The deeply toned surfaces display sea-green and golden-brown when rotated beneath a light. Well struck and mark-free with only a few trivial flecks on the reverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1872 2C PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Dusky orange-gold is accompanied by splashes of sea-green. A sharply struck and unabraded near-Gem. Proofs are in demand due to the scarcity of Uncirculated 1872 business strikes.(
Registry values: N991)
1872 2C PR66 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. The year 1872 was the last in which business strike two cents were produced--but it was a mere pittance of 65,000 coins, accompanied by an estimated 600 proofs. This Premium Gem proof displays only the slightest mellowing of the orange luster and faint traces of blue toning in the fields that prevent a full Red designation. A tiny carbon spot appears under the U in TRUST. Business strike 1872 two cent pieces are identified by a die crack at the lower left reverse, while proofs lack that crack. Census: 35 in 66 Red and Brown, 4 finer (4/10).(

1873 2C Closed 3 PR64 Brown PCGS. The Closed 3 proof-only two cent pieces are believed struck in the final year of the decade-long series from 1864 to 1873, to the extent of 600 coins. The Open 3 twos are believed to be later restrikes. This Closed 3 near-Gem Brown example actually shows lots of mint orange-red remaining, alternating with plum throughout. The strike is nearly full, spots are absent, and the only contact we see is a hair-thin mark to the right of the date, well-hidden in the patina. A nice example of this last-year issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1873 2C Closed 3 PR64 Red and Brown NGC. This older-holder proof-only specimen is precisely struck and offers dusky tan-gold and lime-green toning. Carbon is minimal, and the quality is impressive for the grade. The Closed 3 variety is about twice as available as its Open 3 counterpart, although both varieties are very scarce. Census: 43 in 64 Red and Brown, 93 finer (4/10).(

1851-O 3CS MS64 PCGS. A pristine if slightly subdued near-Gem draped in stone-gray, chestnut, and powder-blue shades. The sole branch mint issue of the three cent silver series.(
Registry values: N991)
1852 3CS MS66 PCGS. An immensely lustrous Premium Gem three cent silver with rich and distinct toning. The obverse has peach-orange central toning with a touch of blue near the edges, while on the reverse, the relationship is nearly reversed. Population: 83 in 66, 13 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1852 3CS MS67 NGC. The 1852 mintage of three cent silvers was an all-time record at 18.6 million pieces, more than triple the first-year 1851 total of 5.4 million and more than 50% larger than the 1853 production of 11.4 million. Fortunately the trimes at this point weighed 0.8 gm and were composed of 75% silver and 25% copper, for a net silver content of 0.6 gm per coin. That weight was
increased in 1854 to 0.75 gm of 90% silver, or 0.675 gm per coin, a net silver content proportional to the half dimes and other larger silver coins of the era.
This piece is frosty, untoned silver-white, with tremendous eye appeal and faint evidence of die clashing on each side. The obverse die shows erosion, with some peripheral lettering and stars "drawn to the edge," more characteristic of Bust halves of an earlier era. Census: 13 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(

1853 3CS MS66 PCGS. CAC. In the latest (2009) edition of Cherrypickers', the authors state that the 1852 FS-801 "is the only doubled die we have listed in the silver three-cent piece series." But the present piece also has a doubled die reverse, visible on the left-side star points. The fortunate next owner will likely take greater notice of the immaculate and lustrous surfaces that are lightly toned caramel-gold. The shield is well struck. Population: 47 in 66, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1862/1 3CS MS66 NGC. FS-301. Easily the most prominent overdate in the three cent silver series, though the 1862/1 does not command a significant premium over its "Normal Date" counterpart except in Mint State grades. Gold to orange partial toning is more prominent on the reverse. Census: 61 in 66, 11 finer (4/10).(

1858 3CS PR65 PCGS. CAC. A remarkable Gem specimen of this first proof three cent silver issue to see wide distribution, richly toned in gold, green, blue, and violet shades. Both sides offer attractive reflectivity. Extensive straight die polish lines on the obverse should not be mistaken for hairlines. Population: 21 in 65, 9 finer (4/10).(

1858 3CS PR65 NGC. One year after the discontinuation of the large cent and half cent, which created the first numismatic craze in America, the U.S. Mint under Director James Ross Snowden began publicly advertising proof coinage for sale to collectors, and in the same year the American Numismatic Society was founded. This three cent silver proof is a Gem survivor from those first historic mintages. The obverse is silver-gray with iridescent bits near the rim, while pinkish-gold and lilac pervade the reverse. The right corner of the third I in the denomination joins the knob and leaf tip, one of the proof diagnostics listed in Breen along with the downward-slanting parallel striae noted on the obverse. The doubled outer border around the star on the obverse is incomplete at the lower left, as struck. Census: 23 in 65, 24 finer (4/10).(

1873 3CS PR66 PCGS. CAC. This proof-only date closed out the silver three cent series with a small emission of 600 pieces. The date can be found through PR64, but Gem coins are scarce.

1866 3CN PR66 Cameo NGC. One of only 725 proof pieces coined, to accompany the stingy business-strike mintage of 22,000 pieces. The nickel-gray surfaces provide glints of gold at the right angle, and considerable field-device contrast further increases the appeal, fully meriting the Cameo designation. One of the 13 finest certified at NGC with Cameo surfaces, save for a single example graded higher (4/10).(

1876 3CN PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. This is a gleaming ice-white three cent nickel that actually appears to be a silver coin, although it obviously is not. Incredibly deep cameo contrast between fields and devices is the obvious hallmark, although the pristine surfaces contribute greatly to that effect. NGC has certified nine examples in this grade, and one Ultra Cameo finer (5/10).(

1877 3CN PR65 NGC. A proof-only issue of a tiny estimated 510 pieces, the 1877 three cent nickel is the undisputed key to a complete set.

Certified in a green-label holder, this proof-only 1877 three cent nickel is nearly the finest obtainable PCGS-certified example--save for a mere three specimens--from the original mintage estimated at 510 coins. This key-date example has toned in delightful shades of pastel pinkish-gold in the centers, complementing faint hazel-gray at the rims. Fully struck and thoroughly appealing, a prize for the Registry Set or type specialists.(

1884 3CN PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. If a collector wants a business strike 1884 three cent nickel, they can pretty much forget it. Only 1700 were struck. Proofs, on the other hand, are occasionally available with a mintage of 3942 pieces, but few are known as fine as this coin. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the fields show exceptional depth of mirrored reflectivity which sets up stark contrast against the heavily frosted devices. Problem-free surfaces.

Shield Nickels
1866 5C Rays Repunched Date MS61 PCGS. Fletcher-15. An early die state with repunching especially noteworthy on the first 6 in the date. This Fletcher variety is currently unlisted in
Cherrypickers', and is not the
Guide Book variety. A satiny and unabraded cream-gray example with minor incompleteness of strike that shows the striated planchet surface in some areas.(
Registry values: N491)
1866 5C Rays MS66 NGC. Undoubtedly saved as the first year of issue, this is an especially well-preserved example and would make a wonderful type coin. Two aspects would be especially appealing to the type collector: The mint luster is soft and frosted, and the striking definition is almost complete. The lustrous surfaces have taken on a subtle hint of rose and lilac on each side. The strike on 1866 nickels is notoriously weak, and this piece only shows spotty softness with the all-important rays well defined. Census: 25 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).(

1866/1866 5C Rays Repunched Date MS64 PCGS. FS-301. Formerly housed in an NGC holder as 1866/1866 MS65, VP-002, FS-301. The year 1866 saw the first cupro-nickel five cent coins, and this impressive example is one of the finest specimens extant with a repunched date. Striking details are sharp, and the brilliant surfaces display ample satiny luster. PCGS has graded only three other examples of this variety in MS64, with none finer (4/10). Mentioned on page 125 of the 2010
Guide Book.(

1880 5C MS65 NGC. In 1872 Germany switched to a gold standard, over the next few years dumping millions of ounces of silver on the world markets. The years 1876 through 1878 were the peak production years for the fabled Comstock Lode in Nevada, with about $36 million/year worth of silver added to the world supply. These factors and others combined to depress the prices of silver to historic lows, as well as to ensure that silver coins (minted after 1853) were worth far more
unmelted than as bullion. On April 20, 1876, the Treasury began releasing a long-stored horde of silver coins. If one examines the mintage figures for most minor coinage denominations, both silver and otherwise, one notes a gradual decrease beginning around 1876-78 and lasting until about 1890, with a few exceptions.
In the case of the Shield nickel, the 1877 and 1878 are the well-known proof-only issues--both of which, by virtue of the lack of business strikes, became instant rarities. Both the 1879 and 1880 Shield nickels were produced in small numbers, apparently to prevent a repeat. The 1879 business strikes were produced to the extent of 25,900 coins, but proofs are readily available, which keeps the prices somewhat depressed for Mint State examples.
The 1880 Shield nickel is by a wide margin the key to business strike Shield nickels, with its mingy production of only 16,000 coins. That production was accomplished through the use of proof dies, so the population data for both types of coins are somewhat unreliable. Bowers'
Guide Book of Shield and Liberty Nickels introduces several diagnostics of true business strikes, including:
- a small thornlike projection from the reverse rim between the TS of CENTS;
- repunched outside top loop of the first S in STATES; and
- a tiny raised "island" in the field below the last T in STATES.
Those diagnostics are clearly visible on the reverse of this Gem, and Bowers says they are associated with an obverse that shows the second 8 with repunching, also clearly visible here with a loupe. The surfaces are somewhat satiny, not mirrored, and the laurel leaves, while well-struck, lack some of the venation that a proof would be expected to show.
In sum, this Gem coin appears to be one of the very rare, unquestioned business strikes, and it is one of three so certified at NGC, with one finer (4/10). The surfaces are golden-gray with a touch of charcoal on the obverse rim from 3 to 5 o'clock. A small planchet flaw appears on the lower reverse near the U(NITED).(

Proof Shield Nickels
1866 5C Rays PR66 Cameo PCGS. The popular first-year Shield nickel proof issue, offered here with undeniable contrast and careful preservation. Gleaming fields toned green-gold let frosted nickel-white devices stand out. Tiny contact marks in the stripes of the shield show up only at certain angles. PCGS has certified a mere three finer Cameo coins (4/10).(

1866 5C Rays PR66 Cameo PCGS. Here is one of the finest 1866 With Rays Shield nickels available to collectors, with deeply mirrored fields, lustrous devices, and excellent cameo contrast.

1877 5C PR65 NGC. The 1877 is one of the series' proof-only issues along with the 1878, but the 1877 was produced in much smaller numbers, estimated at 500 coins according to the
Guide Book. This is a lovely Gem striking with considerable unnoted field-device contrast on the golden-gray surfaces, which are free of distractions and quite appealing.(
Registry values: N2998)
1878 5C PR66 Cameo PCGS. The main draw for the 1878 Shield nickel is its limited availability of only 2,350 pieces, all of which were proofs. Their quality is variable, however, and in the past some have even been listed as business strikes. This is one of the better-produced examples, and it exhibits bright, sparkling fields on each side. The devices display mint frost that is sufficient to give the piece a pronounced cameo effect. Both obverse and reverse are coated in a light layer of reddish-golden patina, but the cameo contrast is evident through the light toning. Population: 17 in 66 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10).(

1879 5C PR66 NGC. This important proof is from the dies without the spike on the ball over the date, considered a Normal Date variety.

Liberty Nickels
1884 5C MS66 NGC. CAC. Given the second-year mintage exceeding 11.2 million pieces, examples of the 1884 Liberty nickel are generally available, but most are at the Gem level or below. This is a wonderful Premium Gem example, with satiny, lustrous original silver-gray surfaces that display just an indefinable hint of color. Both the obverse and reverse dies were in advanced states of deterioration when this sumptuous coin was produced, as evidenced by the numerous die cracks encircling the peripheries. Census: 15 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(

1913-S 5C Type Two MS67 NGC. The Buffalo nickel marked a radical departure from its staid Liberty nickel predecessor. But a design flaw was noticed in the first year of production. The mound and the words FIVE CENTS showed the first signs of wear. Charles Barber, noted for designing coins suited for high-speed production, redesigned the lower reverse by making a straight line below the bison which protected the denomination from wear. This redesign was done later in the year, after 38 million coins had been struck at the three mints.
The 1913-S Type Two is the key to the six 1913 Buffalo nickel issues with only 1.2 million pieces minted. It is predictably rare in high grades, with only eight MS67 coins in the combined certified population and none numerically finer (4/10). The mint luster on this piece is frosted, as one would expect, and undisturbed by any noticeable marks. Each side shows just a hint of pale olive and lilac toning. An exceptional Type Two 1913-S nickel.

1914-S 5C MS67 NGC. With a mintage approaching 3.5 million coins, the 1914-S Buffalo nickel is hardly a scarce or rare date, but truly pleasing Choice or Gem Mint State examples are extremely difficult to locate. The example that we present for your bidding consideration is an outstanding piece that will please the finest collector.
Quicksilver appearance exhibits ice-blue and gold surfaces on the obverse, with the reverse adding tinges of lavender. Remarkably prooflike, especially for an issue that is often found with frosty luster. Die erosion produces some frosty areas near the reverse rim. Fully struck, and appearing much more like a P-mint than an S-mint. The combination of reflective surfaces and sharp details is unusual, as Dave Lange describes in
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels: "Both mushy and well struck pieces are common; the former are often semi-prooflike."
The finest NGC certified 1914-S nickels include two certified MS67, one certified MS67 ★ , and one certified MS68 (4/10). PCGS has never certified a '14-S finer than MS66. A review of our auction archives reveals that we sold the single MS68 piece back in 1997, and we sold an MS67 ★ example in 2008. Other than those two sales, we have previously never offered an example finer than MS66. Here is an amazing opportunity for the advanced Buffalo nickel specialist, or for the connoisseur who appreciates exceptional beauty.

1914/3-S 5C MS64 NGC. FS-101. In his The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, David Lange writes that Tom DeLorey turned up the first example of this variety a year or so after the Philadelphia Mint overdate was found (1996). Lange indicates that: "While the P-Mint coins are difficult to identify, the S-Mint edition is extremely so. The horizontal top of numeral 3 is just barely evident on even the sharpest, early-die-state specimens. ... One feature that seems to be present on each 1914/3-S seen thus far is a die crack on its reverse."
The near-Gem specimen presented here displays the very faint straight top bar of the underlying 3 at the top of the 4, and the equally faint start of the 3's diagonal on the upper right outside of the 4. On the reverse, a prominent die crack connects the bison's forehead to the rim, and a faint crack runs along the upper edge of the exergue into which the value FIVE CENTS is placed. These cracks occur on confirmed examples of this overdate variety.
This example exhibits lustrous surfaces bathed in pastel powder-blue, gold, and lavender patina. The design features are well impressed, and include a bold date and mintmark, a strong LIBERTY, and a sharp horn and tail. Most of the hair on the bison's head shows clearly, as do most of the Indian's feathers and the braid. Neither side reveals significant contact marks or unsightly spots.

1915-D 5C MS66 NGC. The eye appeal is undeniable, since each side displays dominant antique-gold patina with blushes of salmon-pink iridescence. Although the 1915-D as an issue is the first poorly struck Buffalo nickel from the Denver Mint (per Lange, 2000), the present example is sharply detailed throughout. The surfaces are problem-free save for some scattered flyspecks, most of which are seen on the obverse, and none of which are individually distracting. The 1915-D (7.5 million pieces produced), while somewhat scarce in lower grades, should only really be considered rare at or above the Gem threshold. Certified in a prior generation holder.

1916 5C Doubled Die Obverse MS64 NGC. FS-101. Although some regular 1916 Buffalo nickels are known to show strike doubling on the date, they are easily distinguished from the unusual Doubled Die coins, which show prominent but incomplete (at the bottom) digits from a first strike of a working hub, well southeast of the subsequent strike. Other obverse features are doubled--the chin, throat, and lips. The feathers at the back of the head are plainly doubled at their bottoms, including the tiny partial feather closest to the neck. The butterfly-shaped attachment of the feather quills to the hair is plainly doubled on both sides. Traces of doubling are visible as well along the forward edge of the profile.
In a March 15, 2005,
Numismatic News column, Paul M. Green described the 1916 Doubled Die nickel "as perhaps the greatest and least known rarity of the 20th century. It is ironic, because the logical assumption would be that any coin of the 20th century is well known and appreciated." Knowledge of the variety became widespread only in 1976; even today, many otherwise knowledgeable numismatists fail to realize how rare the issue is--in all grades, but particularly in Mint State.
The finest certified are a number of near-Gems at both services, including two MS64 PCGS pieces that we have handled in the last few years. (PCGS has certified only those two pieces in MS64.) The 1916 Doubled Die invites a comparison with another popular Buffalo nickel variety, the 1918/7-D. NGC has certified three Gems of the 1918/7-D Buffalo, and 22 examples of that variety in MS64. Even if one deletes one-third of those coins as duplicates, it still leaves almost four times as many 1918/7-D Buffalos at the near-Gem level compared to the 1916 Doubled Die.
The obverse of this impressively lustrous near-Gem has gold-orange peripheral toning that yields to light nickel-gray in the centers. The reverse is more richly patinated in stark blue and green-gold hues. Both sides show a slight degree of central striking softness, but the crucial date area is crisp with strong impressions from both date hubs. Wispy abrasions on the major devices and in the fields account for the technical grade, though the eye appeal is more evocative of an even finer designation. Census: 6 in 64, 0 finer (4/10).

1916-D 5C MS66 PCGS. While David Lange's
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels describes this issue as "not particularly scarce" through the Choice level, he considers Gems "rare." The attractive example offered here is distinctly finer than that classification. Lange's commentary on the 1916-D lists it as an issue for which a trade-off between luster and strike exists, and while this piece has attractive, frosty texture, the strike is above-average for such a coin. Warm gold and pink patina graces the exquisitely preserved surfaces. Aside from two tiny marks and a lone fleck below the bison's head, this piece gives the appearance of an even higher grade. Tied for the finest certified by NGC or PCGS, with just four graded by the former and 11 by the latter (4/10).

1916-S 5C MS66 NGC. The 1916-S is another early Buffalo nickel that has low availability in high grades. This in spite of the fact that 11.8 million were minted. This piece is clearly superior, as seen from the thick mint frost that covers each side. The luster shines brightly through the amazing lavender and rose toning on the obverse, as well as the even golden toning on the reverse. As one would expect, there are no mentionable marks on either side. The striking details are just a bit soft, most notably on the tips of the feathers, which is commonly seen on this issue.

1917 5C MS67 NGC. With a mintage in excess of 51 million pieces it is difficult to make a case for absolute rarity for the 1917 nickel. However, even though rolls were available until recently there are surprisingly few examples that have been certified in MS67 by the two major services. NGC has only graded five other pieces with one finer, and PCGS has certified 10 in MS67 with two finer (4/10). This would make a superlative early type coin. The surfaces have mint frost that rolls around the coin unimpeded by abrasions, and each side displays light, attractive rose and lilac toning. Also important for type-coin consideration, the strike is complete on each side.

1917-D 5C MS66 NGC. The 1917-D is known for weak strikes. Actually, much of the weakness that is generally found is a result of die erosion. Close examination of this piece shows the fine, pebbly effects of erosion deep within the recesses of the design elements. Naturally, overused dies would show lessened high point details. This coin actually is well defined in all areas except over the bison's head, leading one to the conclusion that to compensate for older dies the mint increased striking pressure.
This is a fabulous example of this scarce, early Buffalo nickel. The surfaces are bright and satiny, which underlies the moderate rose and lilac toning seen on each side. As one would expect from a coin in this grade, there are no obvious abrasions present. Census: 6 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).

1917-S 5C MS67 NGC. Although NGC has certified 10 examples of the 1917-S Buffalo nickel in MS66 and PCGS has graded six at that level (with almost certain duplications in those numbers), the present MS67 1917-S nickel is the only one so certified at either service (4/10). This coin thus combines two important criteria to collectors: It is foundationally rare--that is, it is rare in all grades. In addition, this piece is not only conditionally rare in MS67, we are justified in saying that it is
conditionally unique. Any Registry Set collector pursuing the ultimate such set simply must have this coin, and none other. There is no overestimating the strength and vigor of the Registry Set phenomenon, a logical extension of many collectors' natural competitiveness. The competition for the finest coins is usually social camaraderie of the most appealing kind, and it can actually help collectors so inclined to form new and delightful associations with other like-minded numismatists.
This piece is extremely appealing, and we repeat that it is of crucial importance to the many collectors of this popular series. David Lange points out in
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels that the majority of 1917-S nickels are not well struck, but a small minority are:
"As with 1915-S nickels, a relatively small number of coins may be found that are extremely well struck. Again, it has been suggested that these were coined from proof dies. More likely is that the dies were simply unworn and closely set within the press, the ideal situation for any coining operation but one that was seldom maintained with respect to Buffalo Nickels. Most examples of this date have strong central details but weak peripheral elements. This is enhanced by the prevalence of erosion in the die along the inner border, as described for 1916-S."
This particular piece does show some evidence of die erosion, visible around the obverse periphery, which produces some pebbly effects in the luster in those areas. Two small die cracks appear on the obverse, one from the rim through Y and to the nose, a second one from the rim at 8 o'clock, through the lowest feather and onto the hair above the braid. The reverse appears relatively fresh in comparison, although we note a small die crack from the rim at 1 o'clock through ER in AMERICA.
The overall strike, however, is unusually sharp, producing sculptural detail to all design elements. The knot binding the hair in the Indian's queue is well separated at both top and bottom. All digits of the date are bold, and the hairline is complete. On the reverse, the bison's tail is split, the hair at the shoulder is sharp if not entirely full, and the hair on the head is of similar quality. Contact is, of course, not an issue here.
We believe the Mint may have been compensating for the worn obverse die by, as Lange says, bringing the set distance--the distance between the dies, which controls the strength of details or the lack thereof--closer together. The smooth, satiny surfaces show an overlay of subtle rose and lilac on each side. An essential and memorable addition to an advanced collection of Buffalo nickels.

1918 5C MS67 NGC. The 1918 Buffalo nickel, with its mintage of more than 32 million pieces, elicits different points of view among numismatists regarding its availability. For example, David Bowers, in his Buffalo and Jefferson nickel
Guidebook, states that the issue: "... is plentiful in all grades, providing the opportunity to cherrypick for quality." In his
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, on the other hand, David Lange says: "This high-mintage issue is inexplicably difficult to locate across all grades, the number of coins reportedly struck being at odds with this date's survival rate. Where did they all go?" Lange addresses his own question with another: "Is it possible that technical problems (associated with inexperienced mint personnel hired during the war years) plagued the 1918(P) nickels and that the published mintage figures may include many coins which ultimately had to be withheld from release? Although undocumented and inconsistent with Mint practice, this theory remains interesting food for thought."
This Superb Gem certainly did not encounter production or quality-control problems. Its radiantly lustrous surfaces are completely devoid of toning streaks, laminations, stains, or other planchet defects that often affect coinage during war years. The strike is impressive, with sharpness seen on the horn, the date, and the tail. Only a small portion of the hair directly above the bison's forehead shows a hint of softness. Whispers of pastel rose, powder-blue, and gold patina rest over each side. Census: 3 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

1918 5C MS67 ★ NGC. FS-801. The clash marks around E PLURIBUS UNUM act as a die marker, and further examination of the area reveals distinct doubling to the north on that motto. This doubled die reverse variant is a comparatively recent discovery, one that has recently gained immensely in popularity. This coin is the top certified example for the variety, with the next-highest piece acknowledged by NGC an XF45.
This Star-designated Superb Gem is also tied for numerically finest certified by either NGC or PCGS (4/10). David Lange, in
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, writes that the 1918 is "inexplicably difficult to locate across all grades, the number of coins reportedly struck being at odds with this date's survival rate." Most coins known today exhibit substantial striking softness, particularly at the centers, as well as middling luster.
This breathtaking representative dispels any such concerns. Between the substantially above-average detail on the softly frosted central devices and the powerful, swirling luster that graces the virtually flawless surfaces, this piece boasts incredible technical appeal. Spectacular patina visits each side, gold-orange and nickel-blue with occasional magenta accents. One seldom encounters a piece that combines magnificent preservation and numismatic importance. Series enthusiasts should recognize this special opportunity.

1918/7-D 5C MS65 NGC. FS-101. A shortage of minor coins that developed toward the end of World War I, specifically in the 1917-18 timeframe, was responsible for a number of interrelated events that interest numismatists today. The mintage of 1917 Philadelphia Lincoln cents hit a new series high of 196 million-plus coins, handily outstripping 1910's previous record of 146.8 million pieces. With so many coinage dies produced, it is unsurprising today to note the existence of the famous and popular
Guide Book variety, the 1917 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln cent, FS-101.
The mintage figure of the 1917 Buffalo nickel was a hefty 51.4 million coins, also a large production while not quite setting a series record, since 1916's emission was 63 million pieces. Two different Doubled Die Reverse 1917 nickels are listed in
Cherrypickers', FS-801 and FS-802 (although they have yet to gain
Guide Book listings). The 1918 Buffalo nickel mintage in Philadelphia was 32 million pieces, and a Doubled Die Reverse of that issue is also listed in
Cherrypickers' as FS-801. But the most famous and elusive nickel error of 1918, by far, was created in Denver, as part of the modest production of 8.3 million coins, the
Guide Book-listed 1918/7-D Buffalo nickel.
The 1918/7-D nickel, like other modern wartime overdates, is a dual-hub error. Late in 1917, when both the current- and future-year dies were being produced, one die got a blow from two differently dated hubs between annealings or work-hardenings, with the D mintmark subsequently affixed and shipped to Denver from the Philadelphia Mint die workshop. The first auction appearance was at a Barney Bluestone sale in October 1931--more than a decade between its creation and recognition--so many examples are in the lower circulated grades. There are only a few dozen examples certified in Mint State at both services combined, and even those figures are inflated due to resubmissions, crossovers, and crackouts. Many specimens in later die states show a tiny die crack from the top of the knot in the Indian's braid, running forward onto the cheek.
This Gem offers impressive detail for the issue with only trifling softness at the bison's shoulder, while the two heads and the all-important date area are notably sharp. The luster is soft and lightly frosted with light nickel-gray color forming the centers and bands of gold and peach around the rims. Small marks are scattered and generally appear away from the prime focal areas. An incredible addition to a top-flight Buffalo nickel set. Census: 4 in 65, 0 finer (4/10).

1918-S 5C MS66 NGC. The 1918-S Buffalo nickel is an issue that needs no introduction to dedicated series specialists, although we hope this marvelous collection may incite many new numismatists to consider the challenging but extremely rewarding pastime of collecting Buffalo nickels. Except for Lincoln cents--which this collection also features in abundance--the Buffalo nickel series is likely the most widely collected small denomination in all U.S. coinage.
The 1918-S Buffalo nickel is a conditional rarity of the highest order within the series. As Exhibit 1 in the evidence, we offer the combined certified populations at NGC and PCGS of the 1918-S nickels certified in MS66: a precise total of three coins, two at NGC and one at PCGS (4/10)--needless to say, there are none finer.
David Lange explains the quality challenges of the issue in this way:
"The striking problem noted for 1918(P) and D is much worse for 1918-S. In addition, the date is sometimes weak, especially in the first two digits. Most examples have frosty luster that is somewhat subdued. A very bright 1918-S nickel is a rarity, but then so are mint state examples of any quality."
Soft luster filters through gold and mauve toning that is slightly deeper on the reverse. The strike is strong overall, with only minor weakness visible on the bison's shoulder and the center of the portrait's braid. An uncommonly attractive example of this challenging issue, smooth and extremely attractive, with just a few tiny marks and flyspecks scattered on the obverse.

1919 5C MS67 NGC. While abundant in circulated and lower Mint State grades, the 1919 has proved to be unusually elusive in Superb condition. The primary deterrent is strike, which is all too often soft on this issue in spite of its high mintage. However, a few coins were struck and subsequently preserved from new dies that were set close enough together to produce strong strikes. This is one such piece. The definition is as strong as one will ever see on a business strike Buffalo nickel. Additionally, the surfaces display thick mint frost beneath multicolored iridescent toning that covers each side. Outstanding quality. Census: 7 in 67, 1 finer (4/10).

1919-D 5C MS66 PCGS. Ex: ADM Collection. This spectacular Premium Gem has bold design details that are as sharp as any we have seen. The date and LIBERTY are both clear and bold, and the reverse has bold definition throughout. A soft, frosty Premium Gem, this beauty has light gold and olive toning with extraordinary eye appeal. Both sides have brilliant underlying luster. Here is a remarkable opportunity for the PCGS Set Registry collector to improve a Gem collection. NGC and PCGS combined have graded just 20 examples in MS66, and neither service has certified a finer piece. Population: 14 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).

1919-S 5C MS66 NGC. Few Buffalo nickel issues have accrued the kind of notoriety associated with the 1919-S. While it has been acknowledged as a major condition rarity for some time, particularly in Gem and better states, this has translated into increased popular appeal and higher prices only in recent years. Comparison of two Paul M. Green "Item of the Week" columns from
Numismatic News is instructive: the first, dated December 24, 2002, describes the 1919-S as having been a $10,000 coin "for some years," implying that while the price was substantial, it had not moved in some time; whereas the second column, dated February 7, 2006, focused on the 1919-S and its dramatic appreciation in Gem, quoting figures nearly double that of Green's 2002 column. Growing interest in assembling high-end sets of Buffalo nickels has translated into vastly increased demand for the finest examples of the most challenging condition rarities in the series, and the 1919-S is one of those issues most affected.
Further complicating the search for a high-end example of this issue is the appearance of most high-end survivors. A quick glance at David Lange's
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels reveals a litany of negative phrases associated with the issue: "notorious for being weakly struck," "disappointing luster," "typically seen mushy example," "not attractive." Looking at this Premium Gem, however, those indictments all miss the mark. While this strongly lustrous piece does show a degree of softness on the bison's shoulder, the portrait and the bison's horn show impressively crisp detail. Occasional gold and peach shadings enhance the eye appeal, and the surfaces are delightfully preserved. This is one of just 10 MS66 pieces in the combined certified population, eight graded by NGC (several of which are surely resubmissions) and two by PCGS, with none finer (4/10).

1920 5C MS67 PCGS. Ex: ADM Collection. The mintage of more than 63 million pieces gives an indication that Mint State pieces should be available of this issue. However, very few have survived in MS67 condition. PCGS has only certified eight in this grade, and NGC has graded only five. None are finer at either service (4/10). This is a spectacularly lustrous coin. While basically presenting as brilliant, there is actually just a hint of pink and lilac patina on each side. Fully struck also.

1920-D 5C MS67 ★ NGC. Ex: Yankee Collection. After the 1920-D Buffalo nickel issue was produced, the Denver Mint took three years off, with the next Denver Mint Buffalo nickel minted in 1924. David Lange explains why in
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels (third edition):
Conventional wisdom, aided by the poorly-researched articles of well-meaning numismatic writers, has long ascribed this drop in production to the fact that the Mints were too busy coining silver dollars mandated by the 1918 Pittman Act. In reality, the huge mintages of minor coins prompted by the wartime boom of 1916-20 collided with the severe economic recession of 1921-22. The U.S. Mint director's annual reports clearly reveal that there was simply a glut of coins during the early 1920s, and it wasn't until the latter months of 1923 that a demand appeared for additional pieces.
The large mintage figure of nearly 10 million coins does little to suggest the importance of the 1920-D nickel in higher Mint State grades. Denver Mint press operators were frequently inattentive at that time, and allowed production of coins that were below the accepted standard. Many poorly produced pieces lack strong details, although sharply struck examples can be found with patience. A number of coin designs have a special designation for sharply defined examples, such as Jefferson Full Steps nickels, Mercury Full Bands dimes, and Franklin Full Bell Line half dollars. Each of those series have individual issues that are major rarities when fully struck, and priced accordingly. The Buffalo nickel deserves its own sharp strike designation, perhaps "Full Tail" or some such, with the result of increased recognition for sharply defined pieces. Forward looking collectors may want to search for sharply detailed Buffalo nickels in advance of such a designation addition, should it ever happen.
Concentric target toning comprises heather and lilac in the centers, ceding outward to amber-gold, jade, and violet at the extreme rims. The strike is remarkable even if not quite complete. The braid tie shows full separation at the top and bottom, with trivial softness on the hair just above. The buffalo has a split tail, with minor softness at the shoulder and the hair above the horn. The mintmark and other peripheral details are sharply impressed, although LIBERTY shows minor weakness at the top. Stunning quality overall, with the Star designation.
Connoisseurs recognize the importance of sharply struck Buffalo nickels of all dates, and will take delight with the present specimen. The combination of a bold strike, brilliant underlying luster, and remarkable toning provides an unbeatable triple-play. A single NGC MS66, two PCGS MS66 coins, and two NGC submissions certified MS67 ★ are the only 1920-D nickels certified in grades finer than MS65. In a sale that offers numerous amazing coins, the present opportunity is one that is seldom encountered, and must be aggressively pursued by the specialist.

1920-S 5C MS66 NGC. The 1920-S Buffalo nickel is another mintmarked issue from the 1920s that is extremely difficult to find with well-made, choice surfaces. David Lange has no shortage of opinions on the issue, which he shares in
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels:"Well struck coins are scarce and highly prized. Fully struck examples are virtually unknown. Most seen range in strike from fair all the way to awful, the reverse being particularly subject to extreme die erosion and incompleteness. The worst ones look like wax coins left to melt in the sun. The San Francisco Mint may have utilized elderly reverse dies left over from previous years, a seemingly common practice from about 1917 through 1926."
This Premium Gem has decidedly above-average design definition, particularly on the bison's head. As Lange notes, the mere fact of a strong strike on the reverse puts this splendid coin in a distinct minority. This coin is struck from an eroded obverse die, although the reverse die appears to have been fresh. The quicksilver luster on both sides is similarly strong for the issue, shimmering beneath peripheral gold and orange shadings and light gray centers. Even under close scrutiny, marks are hard to find. This piece is tied for the finest certified with a single MS66 coin at PCGS, and there are none graded finer at either service. Another marvelous opportunity for the Registry Set specialists--one that will not soon repeat--or perhaps a chance for some collectors to begin a new and challenging, but highly rewarding series.

1921 5C MS67 NGC. The mintage of 10,663,000 Buffalo nickels at Philadelphia in 1921 seems, on the surface, to be significant. However, during the first eight years of the design, the Pennsylvania facility averaged over 46 million pieces per year.

For an issue normally plagued with various planchet and production deficiencies, this coin is entirely superior in every conceivable criterion to the average example. The marvelous patina is first, mellow pinkish-gold and ice-blue, with olive and rose. The strike is extraordinarily sharp. The luster is top-drawer throughout, and yet the dies appear fairly fresh. An unimprovable coin, in this cataloger's view, and tied for finest at NGC and PCGS. Census: 4 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).

This Premium Gem is a marvelous top-end example, one of less than a dozen certified at this level between NGC and PCGS combined. The strike is much sharper than normal for the issue, and delightful light patina covers the quicksilver surfaces on both sides, pinkish-gold on the obverse with mint, rose, and ice-blue shades on the reverse. The sharp strike further enhances its enormous appeal. Census: 7 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).

1924 5C MS67 NGC. Despite a mintage well over 21 million pieces, the 1924 nickel poses a challenge to the high-end collector. As David Lange writes in his
Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, "1924-P nickels are much less common than their mintage suggests. ... In mint state, all grades short of gem may be found, but in smaller quantities than for 1925 and later P-Mints. The certified population of mint state coins is notably low."
So it is for Superb Gems such as the present coin, one of just nine MS67 coins in the combined certified population with none graded MS68 or better (4/10). The present piece has bold design detail and swirling luster beneath rose-tinted gold patina broken by small areas of nickel-white. A memorable survivor.

This Gem is blanketed in rich orange and peach toning with occasional elements of nickel-gray.

1924-S 5C MS66 ★ NGC. Ranking among the lowest mintage issues with a production of less than 1.5 million coins, the 1924-S is an important rarity in the Buffalo nickel series, in demand regardless of its grade. Coins that grade VF or finer are especially desirable. This issue was minted a decade before the advent of coin boards and albums heightened the popularity of date and mintmark collecting. Because of that, Mint State coins have only survived as a matter of chance, and the low mintage guaranteed their condition rarity. Most Mint State coins are in the lower grade range from MS60 to MS63, and Choice, Gem, or finer examples are highly elusive.
Glorious eye appeal with hazel centers on both sides ceding to delightful orange-gold rim toning. Well but not fully struck, with trivial weakness at the braid and the bottom of the lowest feather on the obverse. Fully struck coins remain unknown. The bison's tail is split on the reverse, but minor softness shows on the shoulder and hair on the head. Remarkable quality, justly recognized with the NGC Star designation. The NGC Census Report shows five examples of the 1924-S Buffalo certified as MS66, including two without the star designation and three with that designation (4/10). Those three MS66 ★ nickels are the finest that NGC has certified, and may represent some duplication through resubmissions. The opportunity to acquire an example of the finest available 1924-S Buffalo nickel is rarely encountered, and the wise bidder will take full advantage of the present offering.

1925-D 5C MS66 NGC. As Q. David Bowers writes in his

While the strike of this Superb Gem survivor cannot be said to be full, particularly on the bison's shoulder, the definition is above-average for the issue, and the eye appeal easily outpaces the norm. Frosty luster swirls beneath light layers of gold and heather toning. There are no singularly mentionable marks on the exquisite surfaces. Census: 11 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).

1925-S 5C MS66 NGC. Dave Bowers shares his substantial wisdom about the 1925-S issue in
A Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels: "It is possible to buy a gorgeous Mint State 1925-S nickel with rich luster and superb eye appeal, but you will be on your own." He also notes:
"The 1925-S nickel is complex, especially in Mint State, because certified examples are identified only as MS64, MS65, and so on. In reality, a few are simply miserable strikes, with flatness of certain date numerals and the lettering at the bottom of the reverse. Others are weak in the usual places--the center of both sides and on the bison's fur. Still others masquerading as 'Mint State' are dull, cleaned coins that have been doctored by adding toning."
David Lange tells more about this issue in
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels:"1925-S nickels typically have just average to good luster. In combination with their generally mushy appearance, the aesthetic value of this issue is low, regardless of its certified grade. Collectors, whatever their budget, buy this date simply to complete their sets."
Although the strike of this piece is typical, with soft obverse details and bold reverse details, the aesthetic appeal is higher than normal, due to the brilliant nickel-gray surfaces that exhibit pale champagne toning. This piece ranks as one of the finest examples known, with only one other certified at NGC and one at PCGS, and there are none finer (4/10).

1926-D 5C MS67 NGC. One of several challenging mintmarked issues of the 1920s, the 1926-D poses a special challenge to Registry collectors: With three MS67 coins in the combined certified population (4/10), it is attainable in that grade, but barely. The offering of this Superb Gem, then, must be seen as an uncommon opportunity. The strike is impressive on this coin, particularly at the often-weak bison's shoulder, and the luster is delightful. Blue-to-lavender toning crosses the centers on each side, while the borders are mostly gold with a streak of violet along the words FIVE CENTS on the reverse.

1926-S 5C MS66 ★ NGC. The 1926-S Buffalo nickel offers an interesting case study in pinpointing how various factors can play into how an issue can be perceived as well-made or not. Unlike many dates considered poorly made, there was no mad scramble to strike Buffalo nickels at San Francisco in 1926; fewer than a million pieces were produced, and it is the only regular business-strike date to fall below that mintage threshold. Thus, haste is not a consideration. Neither was poor planchet quality a concern, David Lange, in his
Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, terms the year's blanks "well made." Mr. Lange also cites the issue for its "good luster," though Q. David Bowers contradicts this in his
Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels, in which he writes: "Luster is dull, sometimes 'greasy,' though a few have attractive luster."
With planchets out of the way, this leaves dies and striking as possible culprits. Both receive criticism from Bowers, who states: "The striking is unremarkable, the result of inaccurate die spacing and, perhaps, keeping dies in the press too long. The net result is that neither I, nor any contributor to [the
Guide Book] have seen a Full Details coin." By contrast, Lange lays the blame squarely on the dies: "Worn reverse dies are the norm for 1926-S. These were probably leftovers from previous years, since dateless dies could be used until they failed completely."
Whether a poor strike or worn dies are to blame, or some entirely different factor is responsible, the challenge of finding an attractive 1926-S nickel is well-established. Bowers reports that even among unworn coins, many are "unsatisfactory," and even finding one of the relative handful of certified Mint State pieces is hardly a guarantee that a coin will be eye-appealing. If for no other reason, the elusive nature of pleasing 1926-S nickels makes the Star designation awarded to this coin all the more remarkable.
The eye appeal of this Premium Gem is instantly memorable. The bison's head is remarkably sharp, with a fully outlined and rounded horn. While the coin shows a measure of the usual softness on the bison's shoulder, this quibble is overwhelmed by the impressive toning and luster. Rich orange, gold, and violet-gray colors cover most of each side, and the surfaces shine boldly. Only a handful of tiny marks keep this beauty from an even finer designation.
In many ways, it is the ultimate example of the issue, and an opportunity not to be missed. NGC has certified just three 1926-S nickels as MS66, while PCGS has graded none at that level, with no coins finer at either service (4/10); moreover, of the three NGC-graded coins, this is the only one awarded the Star designation. When this example was offered in April 2008 by Bowers and Merena, the cataloger wrote, "This coin lays serious claim to the title of 'finest known' for this key-date Buffalo Nickel, and it is a coin that would confirm the importance of whatever collection in which it is included." To which the present cataloger can only add: mission accomplished, with high hopes for history to repeat itself.

1927-S 5C MS66 ★ NGC. The 1927-S Buffalo nickel issue is one that series outsiders might consider a common date, coming as it does within a decade of the series' end in 1937, and certainly seldom mentioned in the same breath as rarer S-mint issues such as 1926-S, 1924-S, or 1921-S. But despite its mintage of more than 3.4 million coins, it is nonetheless a conditional rarity, common in circulated grades but rare in Mint State, and David Lange reports that the issue is "genuinely rare in choice and gem condition." Bowers comments more extensively concerning the issue, noting that most Mint State examples are lightly struck overall, and that coins with sharp details usually have the bison's fur complete but not needle-sharp. He also mentions the prevalence of artificially toned coins--something that this coin most decidedly is not.
One glance at the incredible luster on this 1927-S informs the viewer of just how special--and completely original--this piece is. Both sides positively gleam beneath rich waves of gold and orange toning that mingle with pewter-gray. The strike is more than solid for the date, and abrasions are difficult to detect. Easily one of the most memorable 1927-S nickels Heritage has handled in recent years. This Premium Gem coin has been awarded the added NGC Star kicker for superior eye appeal. Surprisingly, NGC has awarded the MS66 ★ grade to five such coins--allowing for possible duplication--and there are none certified numerically finer, either at NGC or PCGS (4/10). This Premium Gem represents another opportunity from this incredible collection that may not soon repeat, and astute aficionados of the series must act--and bid--accordingly.

1928-S 5C MS67 ★ NGC. Although the 1928-S Buffalo nickel may be thought of by neophytes as a common date due to its lateness within the series, nothing could be further from the truth. While not an absolute rarity, it is quite the conditional rarity in the highest grade. This Superb Gem coin, with the added NGC Star designation for superior eye appeal, is the
sole finest certified 1928-S nickel in the combined populations at NGC and PCGS (4/10).
Despite the healthy mintage of 1928-S nickels that exceeds 6.9 million coins, the issue is generally plagued by soft strikes. David Lange's
Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels notes that the majority of 1928-S nickels show "a general softness in the date, the mintmark and the bison's forehead" and that Gems are rare, usually due to strike deficiencies.
This piece, although perhaps a shade less than fully struck, boasts sharp, excellent detail throughout. On the obverse, the separation at the knot holding the Indian's queue from the hair above and below is nearly complete. The lowest feather behind the head is a touch soft, but all other obverse details are marvelously sculpted. On the reverse, there is not only an obvious full horn, but the tail on the bison is fully split. The bison is appropriately furry, and the head shows only the most trivial strike softness.
Overall, this piece is far and away the most attractive of the issue we have ever seen. The high points are suffused with pinkish-gold and lilac hues on both sides, blending at the rims to ice-blue. A small round dot of darker copper-colored toning appears just before the buffalo's front foreleg. The eye appeal is incredible, and abrasions are completely absent. Census: 1 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

1935 5C Doubled Die Reverse MS65 PCGS. FS-801. The
Guide Book classic, an elusive, prominent doubled die most readily visible on the U of UNITED and the C in CENTS as well as the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The authors of the
Cherrypickers' Guide comment, "This variety is extremely rare in any grade above Very Fine. About 10 are known in Mint State." This figure is perhaps a trifle low, in view of the 14 certification events for Mint State examples at PCGS, but with this Gem knotted with one other possible piece for the finest certified example of the issue (4/10), its rarity is beyond question. Gold-orange and mint-green shades cover the obverse and the peripheral reverse, while the core of the latter side has deep blue-violet toning.

1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS67 NGC. FS-901. Walter Breen, in discussing this famous error coin, goes so far as to identify the "then-newcomer" Mint workman who plied that notorious "emery board" to such deleterious effect. But even before the dies clashed together, they must have shown considerable signs of fatigue and erosion, since there are numerous die markers on both sides that must have taken the striking of many thousands of coins to develop. This has left the Three-Legged Buffalo with a peculiar effect (or should we say, another peculiar effect), in that the luster is usually found diffuse and nonreflective, even on examples that are strictly Mint State. There are exceptions to this rule, but they are few and far between. When numismatists encounter the rare Three-Legged Buffalo with generous mint luster, it is a rare prize indeed. Lange says of the 1937-D nickels in general: "The dies for this issue were used far too long, and they reveal light to very heavy erosion. The latter is seen most prominently [on] the Three-Legged variety."
Even if this Superb Gem did not bear its famous variety on the reverse, it would be a high-end coin worthy of a top-notch type or date collection. As a Three-Legged coin, it is all the more impressive. The design detail is as sharp as any collector is ever likely to see, despite the considerable die erosion present on both obverse and reverse. The mint luster is surprisingly frosty beneath delicate layers of peach-gold, pale green, and blue patina. Seemingly unimprovable and instantly memorable. Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

1937-S 5C MS68 ★
NGC. David Lange, writing of the 1937-S nickel (5.6 million mintage) in the third edition (2006) of his book
The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, says "This issue is common in all grades. It is also the most available S-mint Buffalo nickel in Gem condition." The population figures bear this out. NGC and PCGS combined have graded more than 4,800 coins as MS65, nearly 2,300 in MS66, and 175 MS67s. One coin is NGC-certified MS68, and this piece is the finest graded at the MS68
★ level.
Iridescent rainbow patina gravitates to the margins of this marvelous specimen, while golden-gray, mauve, and powder-blue toning rests in the center areas. A powerful strike is seen over the design features, and the radiantly lustrous surfaces are immaculately preserved.

NGC. While several thousand 1938-D Buffalo nickels have been certified as high as MS66, this MS68 ★ stands at the conditional apex of the known examples. Only six other MS68 ★ coins have been certified and none are finer (4/10). The striking details are strong throughout, and there are splashes of lemon, ruby-red, and lime-green that endow this highly lustrous Superb Gem.

1915 5C PR68 NGC. There were seven proof issues in the Buffalo nickel series and the first five struck were struck with a matte finish. The 1915 was the penultimate matte proof issue and is the second-rarest after the 1916. Proofs of all denominations were discontinued after 1916 due to collector dissatisfaction with the matte finish and the mint's reluctance to take the time to prepare proofs of the newly issued silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars.
A pleasing ring of deep golden-russet patina encircles the steel-blue and silver-gray centers of this piece. Satiny luster glistens over the virtually perfect surfaces. The strike is needle-sharp, as one would expect. A boldly attractive specimen. Census: 3 in 68, 1 finer (4/10).

1936 5C Type One--Satin Finish PR68 PCGS. An essentially perfect Satin Finish example of this first striking variant from 1936. Following the matte proof coins that were struck two decades earlier, the first 1936 proof nickels had a finish reminiscent of the earlier coins, although without the grainy appearance. Pinpoint striking details characterize this proof, and each side is covered with rich golden-rose and lilac toning. The strike is so bold, in fact, that thin guide lines are visible at the top and bottom of the date. A memorable Satin Finish nickel. Population: 27 in 68, 1 finer (4/10).

1918/7-D 5C AU55 NGC. FS-101. The "Mademoiselle from Armentières" was a popular song sung in the trenches during World War I when this important overdate variety was struck. Therein lies more than coincidence, perhaps.
Numismatists have long noted that many of the famous 20th century overdates, produced from hubbing of a single working die from two differently dated working hubs, were the product of the wartime eras of either the First or Second World Wars. It may have been that key Mint personnel were serving their nation in foreign lands when those pieces were produced, and less-skillful workers serving as replacements created the overdated die. David Lange also mentions the possibility that the 1918/7-D could be an intentionally produced variety, but that explanation seems less likely, as the first example appeared in the numismatic press only 12 years later.
This example shows good remaining luster. It appears to be a later striking as each side has heavy metal flow around the margins as well as within the recess around the Native American's eye and temple region. The devices are softly defined, as usual, and the soft gray patina has a few specks of carbon on each side.(

1918-S 5C MS65 NGC. The 1918-S nickel is well known to the legions of Buffalo nickel collectors as one of the major mintmarked rarities of the series, one that is challenging both in terms of condition and strike. This is a simply marvelous specimen that exhibits glowing luster, partially a function of metal flow in the fields from die fatigue. The strike is nonetheless sharp, with good articulation on the date, the Indian's braid, the bison's shoulder, and the horn. The obverse shows bold die clashing, the obverse in the form of a "goatee" under the Indian's chin from IN GOD WE TRUST, as often seen in the series, and behind the Indian's neck. The surfaces are golden-gray with tinges of blue and pink in the recesses. Census: 14 in 65, 2 finer (4/10).(

1919-S 5C MS64 NGC. The 1919-S Buffalo nickel is a much-desired semikey issue in the series. This near-Gem example shows the die erosion that the issue is known for. A pebbly texture appears on much of the obverse, and the tops of LIBERTY are wearing down into the rim. The reverse die is fresher than the obverse, but there is still little detail on the horn or the hair on the bison's head. Marks are absent, however, and the surfaces have quicksilver luster with a light gold tinge. NGC has graded 32 specimens finer (4/10).(

1919-S 5C MS64 PCGS. This is a virtually mark-free near-Gem example of this difficult strike-challenged issue, with sparkling luster over silver-gray surfaces. A loupe reveals glints of pinkish-gold coloration on the obverse and a bit of strike softness on the first two digits of the date, and the reverse shows more strike weakness on the buffalo. There is considerable die erosion evident on both sides that produces a pebbly texture. The absence of marks and good luster over attractive surfaces raise this piece above the crowd.

This is an elusive error that is much in demand by series specialists. The present piece shows about the same amount of missing detail as the coin illustrated in the

Early Half Dimes
1792 H10C Half Disme, Judd-7, Pollock-7, R.4, Good 6 PCGS. Our nation's first coin, the 1792 half disme, is highly desirable in any grade. Rumors abound about these coins, although today all we really know is that they were produced in late 1792, before the physical Philadelphia Mint building was ready for occupancy. For many years these half dismes were considered pattern issues, and even today they are still identified by their Judd and Pollock attribution numbers. Enough pieces survive, and nearly always in circulated grades, that there is no doubt they circulated as money in the 1790s.
When Alexander Hamilton set the stage for a national coinage with his 1790 report to Congress, he failed to mention a half dime or five cent piece. However, Congress added that denomination in their April 1792 Coinage Act, and the silver five cent coins remained in production with few intermissions until 1873.
This piece is a wonderful example with pleasing pewter-gray surfaces. Liberty is fully outlined and the obverse legends are complete, with partial border details. The reverse is weaker, and the eagle is missing its entire right wing, almost as if flying out of a cloud. Most of the reverse lettering is visible. Although critical, microscopic examination will reveal a number of faint scratches and tiny surface marks, the aesthetic desirability is excellent. Here is a wonderful opportunity for the history-minded numismatist to acquire one of these delightful coins.(

1794 H10C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. V-1, LM-1, R.6. The wide date is close to the border on this very rare first-year half dime variant. Star 8 is recut and far from the L in LIBERTY. On the reverse, a leaf is joined solidly to the last A in AMERICA. This coin was likely cleaned long ago, but it offers many charms. Silver-white centers cede to rose, cobalt-blue, and mint-green rings near the rims, and a pleasing wealth of detail is present, as one would expect from the AU Details grade. Adjustment marks close to the lower obverse rim are minor, and a few scattered marks on the obverse are unbothersome. A prize for the early half dime specialists.(

The eye appeal is excellent for this very scarce two year design type, struck while George Washington served as President.(

1795 H10C AU58 PCGS. CAC. V-4, LM-10, R.3. There is an outer berry beneath U(NITED), while on the obverse star 1 touches the second-lowest hair curl. Star 15 touches the bust. The digits 1 and 5 touch a curl and the bust, respectively. This is an interesting coin, first off in that the reverse die is rotated almost 90 degrees clockwise with respect to the obverse. Secondly, the left-side stars 3-8 on the obverse are effaced or nearly so, due both to heavy die-adjustment marks and an apparent axial die misalignment, so that the right-side stars are well-struck. A heavy retained rim cud has formed above TY and star 9. Most of the original luster remains on this piece, with a couple of small die cracks and some minor scrapes on the lower bust.(

Those two diagnostics identify the variety. A flat area just left of center on the reverse is a characteristic of late die state die damage. This pleasing specimen has strong details for the grade with a few faint scratches that are typical of a lightly circulated coin that is more than 200 years old. Both sides have pleasing blue, gray, and iridescent toning.(

Bust Half Dimes
1830 H10C MS64 NGC. V-7, LM-7, R.2. Crisply detailed with watery green-gold toning at parts of the margins. This near-Gem is light silver-gray otherwise. The reverse shows a couple of shallow pinscratches around the eagle's head.(
Registry values: N1793)
1831 H10C MS64 NGC. V-1, LM-6, R.1. A colorful near-Gem example of this accessible die pair, richly lustrous beneath swirls of gold, orange, and blue patina. Well struck and highly appealing.(
Registry values: N1793)
1835 H10C Small Date, Large 5C MS65 NGC. V-5, LM-8, R.2. Sun-gold toning is predominant, although the devices are cream-gray and the left obverse field displays sky-blue. The strike is excellent, and both sides are immaculate aside from a single inconspicuous mark between the left (facing) wing and the scroll end.(
Registry values: P1)
Seated Half Dimes
1837 H10C No Stars, Large Date (Curl Top 1) MS66 NGC. An early die state that shows repunching beneath the date. Beautifully toned in golden-brown, plum-red, and apple-green, interspersed with glimpses of stone-gray. Lustrous and well struck with an unabraded appearance. A briefly coined design subtype, since stars were added to the obverse in 1838.(
Registry values: N2998)
1839 H10C No Drapery MS66 NGC. Variety 2. Repunching is seen on the last two digits, but most notably on the upper part of the 9. While Al Blythe considered the 1839 a "common date" it is certainly not common in the better grades of Uncirculated. Only 20 pieces have been so graded by NGC, with seven finer (5/10). This is a fully struck example whose frosted surfaces are covered with slight reddish patina. An excellent opportunity to acquire this early date as a type coin.(
Registry values: N2998)
1840 H10C Drapery MS62 PCGS. CAC. An important variety, the 1840 With Drapery half dime is seldom seen in Mint State grades. This piece has rich blue, russet, and iridescent toning over satin luster. Population: 7 in 62, 33 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1843 H10C MS66 NGC. Brightly lustrous with a generally silver obverse and occasional hints of sky-blue on the reverse. This delightful Premium Gem is sure to impress collectors of early Seated coinage. Census: 10 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1848 H10C Medium Date MS64 PCGS. CAC. Both sides of this Choice Mint State piece are fully lustrous with frosty mint surfaces beneath gold and iridescent toning. This issue is seldom encountered in higher Mint State grades, and is highly desirable at this numerical level. Population: 9 in 64, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1853-O H10C Arrows MS66 NGC. The initial New Orleans half dimes coined in 1853 were from dies intended for the old tenor coins before the weight reduction. Dies had already been sent to New Orleans and that facility began striking coins that have since become rarities. Meanwhile, new dies were sent with the modified Arrows design, and the 1853-O With Arrows half dimes were produced. About 2.2 million of them were struck. This survivor, one of the finest that still exists, has a kaleidoscope of blue, green, russet, and gold toning over ivory surfaces. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1)
1861/0 H10C MS64 PCGS. CAC. FS-301. The popular and intriguing
Guide Book variety. Frosty surfaces are minimally toned. A rim flaw above the second T in STATES is the sole individually mentionable abrasion.(
Registry values: P4)
1862 H10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Brightly lustrous with scant evidence of toning save for hints of blue and apricot color. A well struck Gem example of this Civil War-era issue, housed in a green label holder. PCGS has graded 57 finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
Proof Seated Half Dimes
1859 H10C PR66 NGC. The 1859 is the last official With Stars proof half dime issue, offered here as an exquisite Premium Gem. Each side offers excellent detail and reflectivity. The surfaces range from gold-orange at the left to pale cloud-gray at the right, with the latter color more dominant on the reverse. Census: 16 in 66, 8 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P4)
1864 H10C PR65 NGC. Satiny and fully struck with milky almond-gold toning. A powerful loupe reveals pinpoint strike-throughs, as made. This Civil War date has a proof mintage of just 470 pieces. Census: 20 in 65, 15 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1873 H10C PR66 Cameo PCGS. This Premium Gem displays outstanding cameo contrast, as the frosted design elements appear to ride over deep watery fields. The strike is impressive, with no hints of weakness on any of the design elements. A faint linear mark on Liberty's left shoulder, and another on the left knee, may help to identify the coin. Population: 3 in 66 Cameo, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1)
Early Dimes
1797 10C 13 Stars VG10 PCGS. JR-2, R.4. The sole use of the 13 Stars obverse, paired with the date's common reverse. Both this and the 16 Stars type are
Guide Book varieties and very scarce regardless of grade, a surefire recipe for demand to outstrip supply. This near-Fine example has pleasing outlines of the devices, particularly on the obverse, and few singularly mentionable marks. Peach-gray surfaces show glimpses of blue and lavender at various angles. Population: 5 in 10, 15 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P7)
1798 10C Large 8 AU55 ANACS. JR-4, R.3. Five berries on the reverse branch identifies this Normal Date variety. The obverse has a heavy die crack from the Y to Liberty's nose. An additional crack enters the field from the chin. Other faint obverse cracks are evident. The reverse has a break from the second feather to the left rim, nearly as wide as the feather. Minor rim crumbling is evident over S OF. Both sides have intermingled blue, russet, violet, and gold with underlying satin luster. The stars at the left side of the obverse are weak, opposite fine adjustment marks on the reverse. The balance of the design work on both sides is sharp.(
Registry values: P6)
1802 10C AU55 NGC. JR-4, R.4. Light golden-brown and dove-gray patina drapes this high-grade Draped Bust dime. Noticeable luster glows from the legends and devices, and striking weakness in the centers is characteristic for the type. Minor rim marks are present at 5 o'clock on each side. The low mintage of 10,985 pieces is divided between four very scarce to rare die marriages. JR-4 is recognized by the placement of star 8, further from the Y than on any other variety of the date. Another diagnostic is the lowest reverse star, which touches both tips of the eagle's beak. Just three other examples of this date have been graded as AU55 by NGC, and only one of those three pieces has been specifically identified as an example of the JR-4 variety. Across all four varieties of this date, NGC has graded a mere five coins finer, as of (4/10).(
Registry values: P7)
1805 10C 4 Berries Fine 12 PCGS. JR-2, R.2. This slate gray Heraldic Eagle type coin has pleasing definition on the hair and wings. All letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are at least partly present. Refreshingly unabraded, although faint mint-made roller marks cross the reverse and the field is granular near the 5 in the date.(
Registry values: P5)
1807 10C MS65 NGC. JR-1, R.2. Even though 165,000 dimes were minted in 1807, JR-1 is the only die pairing utilized for the year. In addition, the reverse die served double duty in the production of both dimes and quarter eagles. As a result, nearly all 1807 dimes are struck from advanced die states, with a heavily clashed obverse that shows obvious peripheral weakness on the left side, often carrying over to a couple of the stars on the right. This lovely Gem representative has not escaped these deficiencies, but excels in all other areas. Full, original mint bloom is seen over both sides and a crescent of blue and golden toning accents the lower portion of the obverse. Census: 13 in 65, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5)
Bust Dimes
1814 10C Small Date MS64 NGC. JR-1, R.3. Luster shimmers throughout this autumn-gold and ocean-blue Capped Bust dime. The right side stars are softly brought up, but the remainder of the design is bold. Smooth aside from minor contact on the fields near UNITED and Liberty's nose. Census: 10 in 64, 6 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1830 10C Medium 10C MS64 PCGS. JR-3, R.3. If other diagnostics were needed besides the extensive die cracks on both sides, we cite the position of the 0 in the date about halfway under the lowest curl, the nearness of stars 4 and 5, and recut 30. The obverse die appears quite close to failure at star 7, where branching die cracks have produced a small raised triangle just in front of the cap. Extensive other cracks visible in the photos cover several areas around the peripheries on both sides. This piece has lots of luster, with silver-white centers ceding to light golden-pink near the rims. The strike is excellent, and only a couple of faint scrapes on Liberty appear to preclude an even finer grade. Population: 23 in 64, 19 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1835 10C MS64 NGC. JR-5, R.1. The 1835 Capped Bust dime boasts a series-high reported mintage of 1.4 million pieces, with nine known varieties. The present coin is an example of the JR-5 variety, with the straight flag on the 5 in the date. This specimen is delightfully toned in shades of blue, green and golden-brown, with sharp striking details. Census: 80 in 64, 25 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
Seated Dimes
1838-O 10C No Stars XF45 PCGS. The 1838-O is the last stand of the briefly coined No Stars subtype, the first of many changes the design would experience during its 55-year run. The 1838-O is scarce, and popular since it was among the earliest issues struck at New Orleans. This is a cream-gray and steel-blue piece with noticeable luster and occasional minor and inconspicuous field marks.(
Registry values: N991)
1841-O 10C MS62 NGC. Open Bud Reverse. Small O. Despite a plentiful mintage, no contemporary regard was given in the South to saving examples, and the 1841-O dime is a rarity in Mint State. Census: 5 in 62, 13 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1843-O 10C AU53 PCGS. The 1843-O Seated dime, despite a mintage of 150,000 coins, is one of the important rarities in the series, seldom found in any grade. Consider that NGC and PCGS, combined, have only certified seven coins in AU or better: MS65, MS62, AU58 (2), AU53 (3). In January 1999, we offered an AU58 example of this issue, the only piece grading better than XF that we have offered in any of our sales since 1993.
We can not emphasize enough how rare and important this piece is, and further, it is an extremely attractive example for the grade. Both sides are sharply detailed with delicate gold toning over lustrous silver surfaces. Population: 2 in 53, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1853 10C No Arrows MS65 NGC. Faint glimpses of peach-gold color grace frosty silver surfaces. This No Arrows Gem hails from a low-mintage issue made even more elusive by melting in the wake of the silver weight adjustment of the same year. Census: 17 in 65, 15 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1853 10C Arrows MS64 PCGS. Housed in an early PCGS holder, this Choice Mint State 1853 Arrows dime is a splendid specimen with exceptional surfaces and luster beneath deep sea-green and iridescent toning on both sides that creates outstanding aesthetic desirability. All of the design elements on each side are boldly rendered.(
Registry values: N1793)
1856 10C Small Date MS64 PCGS. Rich tan-brown and sunset-gold colors enrich the peripheries of this moderately lustrous near-Gem. Well-preserved and attractive with only a couple of readily visible marks. Population: 23 in 64, 25 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1856 10C Small Date MS65 PCGS Secure. Although the upper obverse and lower reverse show design weakness, this is an exceptional Gem with lustrous mint frost beneath light gold toning. Minor clash marks are limited to the reverse field. Here is an important opportunity for the advanced Seated dime specialist. Population: 20 in 65, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1857 10C MS64 NGC. Deep forest-green, rose-red, and golden-brown toning consumes this satiny and unabraded near-Gem. An original and exceptional example of this conditionally scarce issue. Housed in a former generation holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1860-O 10C VG8 PCGS. CAC. New Orleans struck Legend Obverse dimes only for the first and final years of the type, 1860 and 1891. The 1860-O is very scarce, since only 40,000 pieces were struck, none of which have been certified as Mint State by PCGS. A stone-gray example with a readable LIBERTY and one thin mark above the I in DIME.(
Registry values: N991)
1861 10C MS65 PCGS. This satiny and sharply struck Gem is fully patinated in lime-green, cherry-red, and sun-gold shades. The strike is unimprovable, and no marks are consequential. Population: 29 in 65, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1861 10C MS65 NGC. Russet-brown and apple-green patina dominates the borders, although the centers are only lightly toned. Lustrous and well struck with an unabraded appearance. Clashmarks outline portions of the seated Liberty. Census: 20 in 65, 13 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1862 10C MS66 PCGS. Delicate canary-yellow and tan shadings visit parts of the otherwise soft silver-gray surfaces. A well struck and attractive Premium Gem example of this Civil War-era issue. Population: 13 in 66, 2 finer (4/10).(

1867 10C MS66 PCGS. Fortin-102. An incredible Seated dime rarity from a mintage of only 6,000 business strikes and 625 proofs, this Premium Gem is housed in a green label PCGS holder. Three different die combinations are identified for the date, and Fortin-102 with its heavy clash marks is considered a true business strike.
This beautiful Premium Gem has fully mirrored fields and frosty devices with light gold peripheries around brilliant silver centers. It is a stunning representative for the Seated dime specialist who understands the rarity of high grade business strikes. Population: 7 in 66, 2 finer (4/10).(

1872-CC 10C VG8 PCGS. CAC. A key issue in the Seated Liberty series, this 1872-CC dime has faint lilac toning over light gray surfaces. Both sides have the usual minor abrasions and faint scratches that accumulated during its time in circulation. The obverse is typically sharper than the reverse, with every letter in LIBERTY visible.(
Registry values: N991)
1873 10C Closed 3, No Arrows MS66 NGC. FS-301, Fortin-103. Doubled Date. The date doubling is extremely sharp to the left of the final position. This important and dramatic variety is recorded in Top 100 Varieties at Gerry Fortin's website, seateddimevarieties.com. This piece appears to be only the second Mint State example of the variety that we have offered, and it is an exceptional Premium Gem. The surfaces are highly lustrous and fully brilliant with delicate gold toning. This example is the only representative of the doubled date variety that NGC has identified. For all varieties, they have graded four in MS66 and one finer MS67.(
Registry values: N1)
1873 10C Arrows MS66 PCGS. The 1873 Arrows dime is the first year of an important two-year design type, and the piece offered here is tied for the finest that NGC or PCGS have certified. Each service has graded four examples in MS66 (4/10). This incredible Premium Gem has deep blue, russet, and violet toning with satiny and slightly reflective surfaces.(
Registry values: N1)
1874-CC 10C Arrows Genuine PCGS. 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 has light surface roughness. Both sides are deeply toned with gray and ebony patina, slightly lighter on the devices. The 1874-CC is the premier rarity in the Carson City dime series, and is seldom encountered in any grade. Here is a remarkably well detailed example that retains an attractive appearance despite its shortcomings.
1879 10C MS67 ★
NGC. The 1879 dime had a very low mintage of circulation strikes, only 14,000 were produced, and as a result many show bright prooflike fields. When closely inspected one sees just a hint of mint luster in the otherwise reflective fields, but many would mistake this for a proof at first glance. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the strike is well brought up on each side. There are a couple of small coin-to-coin contact marks on each side that further reinforce the business strike status of this piece. Extraordinary quality overall. Census: 8 in 67 ★ , 3 finer (4/10).(

1880 10C MS65 PCGS. A gorgeous toned Gem with frosty central surfaces inside a reflective frame near the borders. Both sides have light gold, gradually changing to lovely russet, blue, and green peripheral toning. Population: 24 in 65, 29 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1880 10C MS66 Prooflike NGC. Fortin-103, R.5. A die chip on the M in DIME is diagnostic. Dramatically toned in swaths of cherry-red, sea-green, and orange-gold throughout the obverse. The reverse is straw-gold with peripheral aquamarine and russet patina. Flashy and unabraded. As of (5/10), NGC has certified only two examples as Prooflike. Only 36,000 business strikes were issued.(
Registry values: N1793)
1880 10C MS67 ★ NGC. The second 8 shows slight signs of recutting. Here is an amazing Superb Gem 1880 dime with mostly brilliant and fully prooflike surfaces. A trace of gold toning is limited to the upper obverse border. Both sides have extraordinary cameo contrast with frosty devices and fully mirrored fields. The NGC high grade Census includes 11 pieces graded MS67, one graded MS67 ★ , one graded MS68, and three graded MS68 ★ (4/10).(

1885-S 10C XF40 PCGS. Medium-gray surfaces show gold overtones and a few dots of charcoal at the right obverse border. This lower-mintage late Seated dime issue was little-saved, like many of its San Francisco brethren, and even circulated coins are rarities above the VF levels. Population: 5 in 40, 24 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1885-S 10C AU50 NGC. Even though the 1885-S Seated dime was produced to the extent of only 43,690 coins, it is a series key that is far rarer than that figure would indicate. Series collectors avidly seek nice, problem-free examples when they come up at auction. Both sides of this AU example display darker gray patina, with good strike details. A couple of minor scrapes appear beneath the second 8 of the date.

1886 10C MS66 NGC. CAC. Gold and blue-green colors prevail on this later Seated dime, brightly lustrous beneath the patina. Liberty's head shows striking softness but the rest of the coin is relatively well-defined. Census: 52 in 66, 10 finer (4/10).(

1887 10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Sea-green and golden-tan toning encompasses this lustrous and mark-free Gem. Nicely struck from moderately clashed dies. A splendid Seated type coin. Population: 81 in 65, 25 finer (4/10).(

Registry values: N1793)
1887 10C MS67 PCGS. CAC. This splendid Superb Gem is one of the few finest from the prodigious mintage of more than 11.2 million pieces. Light pinkish-gold patina prevails nears the rims on each side, while the reverse adds glints of ice-blue and jade to the mix. A network of interesting small die cracks appears at the lower obverse. Population: 3 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(

Proof Seated Dimes
1855 10C Arrows PR64 PCGS. Doubled Date. The proof dies show distinctive hub doubling on the right side of each digit in the date, as well as on stars 11 to 13. This same obverse die was also used for some business strikes, Fortin's Variety 101a. He estimates that only 12 to 15 proofs are still extant in all grades, but does not hazard a guess what the original production run was. The fields display bright mirroring beneath medium-density gray-purple and yellowish toning. We do not see the hairlines that would account for the PR64 grade, but the toning may obscure them. If they are present, they are certainly light. Housed in a first-generation PCGS holder. The proof dimes in this consignment are all in first or second-generation holders and all were purchased from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s.
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes.
1856 10C PR63 PCGS. Small Date. The obverse devices are doubled, as noted by Breen (1977). How many proofs were struck is an open question, perhaps as many as 100 pieces. The number extant is also unknown, but it is believed that between 35 and 50 examples may exist today in all grades. Each side of this piece has variegated blue, violet, and gray-rose toning but the underlying proof mirrors are still apparent. There are no obvious contact marks on each side, just a few light hairlines that account for the grade. There are, however, a series of as-struck die striations in the lower and left obverse field. Population: 7 in 63, 8 finer (4/10).

1858 10C PR62 PCGS. Lightly toned and fully struck with two patches of hairlines on the seated Liberty. 1858 was the first year that proofs were sold by the Mint to the general public. The exact mintage is unknown, but the

1858 10C PR64 NGC. All 1858 proof dimes were struck from one die pair. The obverse shows a downward slanting date, and the reverse has a prominent die scratch from the upper right corner of the left part of the A in AMERICA to the rim. Breen estimated that 80 proofs were struck but this may be on the low side as 124 pieces have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined. This would be more than 80 pieces even when resubmissions and crossovers are factored out. The surfaces on this piece are deeply reflective, and each side has pale blue toning with an accent of rose around the margins. None of the small contact marks in the fields are worthy of individual note. Census: 21 in 64, 28 finer (4/10).(

1859 10C PR65 Cameo PCGS. The 1859 is the final proof issue of the Stars Obverse Seated dime design. It is also the most readily obtainable proof of this underappreciated type with a reported mintage of 800 pieces. High grade specimens, particularly those with a degree of contrast, are genuinely scarce. This example is nicely toned in a variety of iridescent hues that tend to lighten over the major devices. Strong reflectivity lurks beneath the toning. Population: 3 in 65 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10).(

1859 10C PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. Golden-brown, ruby-red, and blue-green toning form concentric bands near the obverse margin. The reverse exhibits dappled lavender patina.

1860 10C PR66 PCGS. A satiny and needle-sharp Premium Gem that displays light to medium autumn-gold toning that deepens slightly at the margins.

1883 10C PR66 PCGS. Even though more than 7.6 million circulation strike dimes were produced in 1883, only 1,039 proofs were minted. The obverse of this piece is dazzling and deeply mirrored with a swath of deeper blue and golden toning at the bottom. The reverse, on the other hand, is muted and the coin must be tilted just so beneath a light for the mirrored fields to flash. This lovely, high-grade example is housed in a first-generation holder.

1909-S 10C MS65 PCGS. The 1909-S is a surprisingly scarce issue in the Barber dime series in spite of a mintage of an even one million pieces. Many pieces, such as this one, do not show full details. This example has soft detailing on Liberty's forecurls and overall softness on the leaves in the wreath. The mint luster is bright and frosted, however, and there are no mentionable abrasions that interrupt the flow of luster around each side. While there is considerable brightness and even some original brilliance still to be seen, each side also displays speckled multicolored golden, rose, and blue toning. PCGS has only certified four other pieces in MS65 with nine finer (4/10).(

1895 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. Proof 1895 dimes have traditionally brought a premium because of the low mintage and low availability in high grade of 1895 business strikes. Of the 880 proofs produced, only 12 others have been certified as PR67 Cameo by NGC, with four finer (5/10).

1910 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1910 is surprisingly elusive for a late-date Barber dime. Undoubtedly the mintage of only 551 pieces explains much of the scarcity, especially with cameo contrast. This is a brilliant example that displays extraordinarily deep mirrors in the fields that contrast strongly against the thick mint frost on the devices. The surfaces are essentially perfect and only show a small spot at the back of the truncation of the neck of Liberty. Census: 5 in 67 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10).(

1910 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1910 is one of the low-mintage proofs toward the end of the series. This is an impressive coin for type purposes.

1911 10C PR67 NGC. This low-mintage date is always popular, especially when it can be located at or near the price of a type coin. This is a splendid proof striking.

1911 10C PR68 Cameo NGC. The silver-white surfaces bear just a subliminal suggestion of gold, but the contrast is quite profound between the fields and devices. This is a fully struck example from the proof mintage of 543 coins, and only some microscopic slide marks on the cheek perhaps limit an even finer grade. A superlative acquisition for a fine type or date set. Census: 4 in 68 Cameo, 1 finer (4/10).(

1875-CC 20C AU58 PCGS. As the only collectible Carson City twenty cent piece, there is a great amount of interest in this issue in all grades. This is an attractive example that retains a significant amount of mint luster that is evident through the moderately deep gray and blue toning seen over each side. The striking definition is strong, except on the eagle's upper left (facing) wing, as usually seen. A couple of vertical marks are located in the right obverse field, but are well concealed by the toning.(

Proof Twenty Cent Pieces
1875 20C PR66 NGC. The twenty cent denomination was issued in response to a perceived need for small change in the West, although the real purpose was to provide an additional outlet for silver mined in Nevada. The needless denomination only lasted for four years, and two of those were only produced in proof.
Any Premium Gem proof twenty cent piece is a condition rarity, and this example adds eye appeal to its rarity factor. The obverse is light silver with cameo contrast and splashes of gold and iridescent toning. The reverse is darker with blue-gray and gold toning. Both sides are fully mirrored with pristine surfaces and bold design definition. Census: 15 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1876 20C PR63 PCGS. We have noticed and commented previously how brightly mirrored twenty cent proofs are. This piece shows rather heavy gray and blue toning over each side, and yet the mirrors still flash brightly through the layers of color. The strike is complete even to the top of the eagle's left (facing) wing, and the grade is only limited by light hairlines, but the effects of these are subdued by the toning.(
Registry values: N1793)
1876 20C PR66 PCGS. CAC. The obverse exhibits a mixture of sky-blue, lavender, and gold-tan in the fields, and a light to medium gray central device. The reverse is a more even sky-blue and gray in the fields, with a wisp or two of lavender, and a light to medium gray central device. Despite the rich toning, the underlying surfaces still display much of their reflective qualities. An attentive strike delivers sharp definition to the design elements, save for minor softness on the eagle's right (facing) claw, and the surfaces are exquisitely preserved. A scarce four-year proof type. Population: 11 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).(

1877 20C PR63 Cameo PCGS. From a tiny proof-only mintage of 350 pieces, the 1877 twenty cent piece is seldom encountered in any grade, but the issue is particularly rare with a Cameo designation. The present coin displays remarkable field-device contrast, with the brilliant mirrored fields showing just a hint of green at the peripheries. Population: 12 in 63 Cameo, 26 finer (4/10).(

1877 20C PR64 Cameo PCGS. Always of interest to collectors, the 1877 and 1878 dates are proof-only and low mintage. The 1877 is consistent with other proof dates in the twenty cent series in that the fields show extraordinary depth of mirroring. This coin has thick mint frost covering the devices, and the result is a Cameo designation. The surfaces are essentially brilliant, and there are just a few tiny contact marks in the fields that account for the grade. Population: 18 in 64 Cameo, 8 finer (4/10).(

1878 20C PR62 NGC. The second year of proof-only mintage for the unpopular twenty cent denomination, the 1878 enjoyed a slightly larger production total than its 1877 proof counterpart, with 600 pieces distributed.

Early Quarters
1796 25C PCGS Genuine. B-2, 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 a VG example, but has a counterstamp on the reverse, and the right obverse field is tooled with pinscratches, as is the base of Liberty's neck. The counterstamp is composed of the initials O.G. and has been deeply impressed near the eagle's belly. It flattens Liberty's neck, which is opposite. Slightly bent from the counterstamp, but this cream-gray example will complete a quarter dollar type collection, of which the 1796 is the key date.(

Bust Quarters
1818/5 25C MS65 NGC. B-1, R.2. Obverse Die State 2/Reverse Die State 4. All B-1 quarters are overdates, but on this piece the underdigit requires strong magnification to discern. Only the top of the 5 is seen in the upper loop of the 8 as an angling bar. This die variety was obviously hoarded as an unusually large number of high grade examples are known even in Gem condition. To qualify that last statement "an unusually large number" amounts to only 16 pieces between both grading services with four finer (5/10). In another, more heavily collected series, such as Morgan dollars or Walking Liberty halves, such a low survivorship would qualify as a major rarity. Early quarters have started to come into their own in recent years, undoubtedly in part because of the new Tompkins book, and their rarity is much better understood and appreciated today.
The surfaces of this piece show lovely, soft mint frost beneath multiple layers of blue, yellow, gray, and rose iridescence that covers each side.

1854 25C Arrows MS63 NGC. Softly lustrous beneath waves of gold, rose, and violet patina. This well struck near-Gem is ideal for a type collection of toned 19th century silver.(
Registry values: P4)
1854-O 25C Huge O VG10 PCGS. CAC. FS-501. Briggs 1-A. The famous Huge O Guide Book variety, with a large misshapen mintmark, believed to have been hand-engraved on a working reverse die. Presumably, Philadelphia forgot to enter the mintmark prior to shipment of the die to New Orleans, where no letter punches were available since all dies were made at the mother mint. Cream-gray and olive-brown with only a couple of inconspicuous marks on the reverse field and a curved hair-thin line near the left-side obverse dentils.(
Registry values: P7)
1858 25C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Brightly lustrous with surprisingly little patina. This well struck near-Gem displays a number of die polish lines through the fields. Housed in a green label holder. PCGS has certified 43 finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1858-S 25C XF45 PCGS. The 1858-S has a reasonable mintage of 121,000 pieces, but there were no numismatists in California at that time, and few pieces were set aside. The typical survivor is a cleaned VF. This is a well defined Choice XF example with dusky dove-gray toning. The surfaces are smooth save for a couple of inconspicuous and moderate obverse field marks. Population: 8 in 45, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P8)
1861 25C MS64 PCGS. Type Two Obverse and Reverse. This Civil War near-Gem is richly patinated in jade-green, fire-red, and autumn-gold. Precisely struck and carefully preserved. QUAR is lightly die doubled.(
Registry values: P2)
1872 25C MS63 PCGS. The 1872 Seated Liberty quarter boasts a low mintage of 182,000 pieces, and Mint State examples are especially difficult to locate in today's market. The present coin is an attractive Select example, with sharp striking details and no mentionable distractions. Population: 5 in 63, 14 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P4)
1873-CC 25C --Corroded, Cleaned--ANACS. XF Details, Net VF20. This extremely important opportunity is presented to Seated quarter dollar specialists to acquire an example of this Carson City rarity. The surfaces are impaired with moderate to heavy corrosion on both sides, although that is typical for many Carson City silver issues from the early 1870s.(
Registry values: P9)
1874-S 25C Arrows MS66 NGC. Approximately 30 years ago a quantity (a roll?) of 1874-S quarters was uncovered and entered the market in the early 1980s. The coins we have seen were of uniformly high quality, and these pieces have subsequently been used for type purposes. Many of the hoard coins are brilliant or nearly so, but this example has significant gray and blue toning over each side. The underlying mint luster is thick and frosted, as always, and there are few abrasions that can be seen even with a loupe. Census: 20 in 66, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P3)
1875-CC 25C MS64 PCGS. The 1875-CC is a better Carson City issue, since the mintage of 140,000 pieces is only a fraction of the multi-million piece production of the 1876-CC and 1877-CC. The satiny surfaces of this near-Gem display light silver-gray color and pleasing luster. The strike is somewhat irregular with some areas completely defined and others weak. Population: 6 in 64, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P4)
1877 25C MS65 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Rich forest-green and tobacco-brown toning alternates across this lustrous and crisply struck Gem. The reverse appears unabraded, and the obverse field has only faint grazes. Housed in a first generation holder.(
Registry values: P1)
1878-CC 25C MS64 PCGS. Briggs 1-A. With prominent die lines on Liberty's waist and the eagle's shield. Impressive orange-red and violet-blue embrace this satiny and meticulously struck final year Carson City quarter. Population: 57 in 64, 22 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1878-CC 25C MS65 PCGS. More than 9 million quarters were struck at Carson City between 1876 and 1877, but the 1878-CC has a smaller mintage of less than 1 million pieces. No further fractional silver coinage was struck at the facility, although silver dollars were struck in quantity. The present lustrous, well struck, and unmarked Gem offers rich blended golden-brown and apple-green patina. Population: 17 in 65, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1881 25C MS64 NGC. This pearl-gray near-Gem has booming luster and impeccably smooth surfaces. The upper left stars are incompletely brought up. Just 12,000 pieces were struck, since the Mint was furiously coining silver dollars. Census: 24 in 64, 38 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1885 25C MS63 PCGS. Delicate chestnut-gold toning visits this satiny and unblemished low mintage quarter. Nicely struck except for the right-side stars. Faint clashmarks are present above the eagle's left (facing) shoulder. Population: 25 in 63, 49 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1887 25C MS65 ★ NGC. As of (4/10), only the present business strike 1887 quarter has secured a Star designation from NGC. The reverse is prooflike, and the obverse is semi-prooflike. Medium autumn-gold toning dominates, although the borders offer olive toning. Only 10,000 pieces were struck, since Morgan dollars were coined in magnitude to satisfy Western silver interests.(
Registry values: P2)
1887 25C MS66 PCGS. CAC. With just 10,000 business strikes produced, high-end Mint State examples of the 1887 quarter are understandably elusive. This satiny Premium Gem, housed in a green label holder, is well-defined and richly toned with a primarily silver-gray obverse that shows deep green and gold-orange colors in a crescent along the bottom. Similar colors have more extensive coverage on the reverse. Population: 19 in 66, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
Proof Seated Quarters
1858 25C PR64 NGC. The mintage of the proof 1858 quarter has traditionally been considered as 80 pieces. However, the
Guide Book recently revised that to 300 pieces. The combined population data from NGC and PCGS is 111 pieces (4/10). When one subtracts an uncertain number of resubmissions from this number, it seems more likely that the original estimate of 80 pieces is correct. The fields seen here are deeply mirrored and shine brightly through the golden-brown and blue toning that is more noticeable at the margins. A few hairlines and small contact marks account for the grade. Census: 20 in 64, 13 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5)
1866 25C Motto PR66 Cameo NGC. Navy-blue, rose-red, and lime-gold adorn the obverse. Golden-brown and apple-green are seen over the reverse. Both sides are fully struck and deeply mirrored. This is a delightful, high-grade proof from a scant production run of 725 pieces. Introductory year of the Motto type, patterns excluded. Census: 4 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1867 25C PR65 PCGS. Cobalt-blue, violet, and deep red intermingle on both sides of this lustrous Gem. The surfaces appear pristine to the unaided eye, and the strike is needle-sharp. Population: 15 in 65, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1872 25C PR64 NGC. Deep iridescent toning is more prominent on the reverse, although both sides display varying shades of blue, green, gold, and violet. Light, scattered contact marks appear to explain the grade, but none of them are visible
sans loupe.(
Registry values: P2)
1873 25C No Arrows PR63 NGC. Orange-gold and powder-blue toning invigorates this lustrous and intricately struck specimen. An excellent value in today's numismatic market. One of just 600 proofs coined.(
Registry values: P3)
1874 25C Arrows PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Less than a half-million examples of the 1874 Arrows quarter business strikes were produced, creating added pressure on the 700 pieces of the proof coinage. This is a sharply struck, quicksilver near-Gem Cameo proof with moderate contrast and a hint of rose patina over each side. Population: 10 in 64 Cameo, 15 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1878 25C PR63 PCGS. A flashy representative that has a bold strike and only a hint of almond-gold toning. Device-to-field contrast is evident but insufficient for a Cameo designation. A scant 800 proofs were issued.(
Registry values: P2)
1878 25C PR64 NGC. Orange-red, straw-gold, and ice-blue grace this flashy and precisely struck near-Gem. One of just 800 proofs struck, and housed in a prior generation holder. Census: 53 in 64, 30 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1882 25C PR65 ★ NGC. Golden-brown, fire-red, and ocean-blue toning adorns the borders of this fully struck and prominently mirrored Gem. White on black contrast is unmistakable, but is nonetheless undesignated by NGC. Census: 2 in 65 ★ , 3 finer without a Star designation (4/10).(
Registry values: P1)
1883 25C PR67 Cameo NGC. Impressively frosted devices emerge from liquid silver mirrors on this Superb Gem specimen. Only a faint skiff of cloud-white patina visits parts of the fields, and the surfaces are impressively preserved. The 1883 quarter, with its relatively high mintage, is an ideal selection for the proof type enthusiast regardless of grade. Census: 5 in 67 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1)
1890 25C PR64 Cameo NGC. Generous eye appeal prevails here, with silver-white centers ringed with copper color at the margins. The strike is bold, although a couple of minor contact marks and hairlines explain the grade.(
Registry values: P1)
1890 25C PR66 Cameo NGC. A pretty Premium Gem from the penultimate proof Seated quarter issue, fantastically mirrored in the fields with intense frost over the devices. While the obverse has a light layer of cloudy patina, the reverse is virtually untoned and closer to Ultra Cameo in appearance. An impressive specimen in virtually all respects. Census: 9 in 66 Cameo, 19 finer (4/10).(
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 (4/10), there is room for multiple numismatists to acquire this date 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.(

Barber Quarters
1894-O 25C MS64 PCGS. The centers are silver on the obverse and blue-green on the obverse, with satiny gold-orange to reddish patina around each side. Mintmark is shifted far to the right. Population: 29 in 64, 18 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1896 25C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Violet, blue-green, and gold-orange hues dominate the eye appeal of this well struck Gem. Excellent eye appeal with only tiny marks in the portrait area. Population: 40 in 65, 9 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1897 25C MS65 NGC. CAC. Light peach and blue aspects bring out the silver color on this attractive Gem. Strongly detailed devices are delightfully frosty. Census: 20 in 65, 8 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1899-S 25C MS64 ANACS. Well-defined with excellent luster. The centers remain largely silver-gray, while the margins show varying levels of peach, orange, and blue-violet color.(
Registry values: N2998)
1901 25C MS66 PCGS. Splashes of golden-brown and sea-green patina cede to silver-gray centers. The devices are well struck aside from the fletchings, lower tail feathers, and claws. The fields are essentially unmarked, and the portrait is uncommonly clean. Although the 1901 trades as a type coin, it is actually many times scarcer than (for example) the 1916-D. Population: 11 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1901-S 25C 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 XF specimen that has been whizzed, with some graffiti. David Lawrence calls the 1901-S Barber quarter "The king of all Barber coinage" because of its low mintage of 72,664 pieces, and an extremely low survival rate. Long considered the key to the Barber quarter series, the 1901-S is always in demand in any grade. The present coin shows light wear on the surfaces, with all major design elements clearly delineated.
1901-S 25C 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 VF specimen that has reverse surface dents.
The idea of a coin being a filler is usually accepted to mean that it is well worn with just enough detail to be identifiable. However, coins such as this example can also be considered "hole fillers," especially for a collector seeking higher circulated grade coins. The 1901-S quarter is usually found in very low grade, or in Mint State grades. Examples of this issue that grade Fine to AU are extremely rare. The present piece, with its pleasing pewter-gray coloration and light gold toning will be a nice addition to a collection of VF Barber quarters.
1901-S 25C Genuine PCGS. 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 a VG specimen that has light corrosion. Both sides have full rims with slight internal design details, including four distinct letters in LIBERTY.
1911-D 25C MS63 PCGS. Well struck with light silver-gray luster overall and touches of peripheral peach. A small spot of charcoal color is noted between the ribbons flowing behind Liberty's head. Appealing for the Select grade. Population: 9 in 63, 28 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1913-S 25C VG10 PCGS. A pleasing Choice Very Good example of this key issue, the last of the three great Barber quarter keys and in constant demand. Full rims on each side complement a nearly full motto, and more than three letters of LIBERTY are visible, as is some of the deep detail on the leaves and eagle feathers. The obverse is dove-gray with some charcoal around the rims, totally original, while the reverse is a bit darker overall.(

Proof Barber Quarters
1893 25C PR63 ★ Cameo NGC. This piece is close to a full strike even on the right shield corner and eagle's wing nearby, although not absolutely so. The eye appeal is high, with only a single tick on the lower neck and lots of field-device contrast evident over silver-white surfaces tinged with rose at the rims.(
Registry values: N991)
1896 25C PR65 PCGS. This needle-sharp Gem is evenly toned in milky caramel-gold. The glassy fields appear undisturbed beneath the moderate patina. Housed in a green label holder. A scant 762 proofs were struck. Population: 33 in 65, 45 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1900 25C PR67 ★
NGC. CAC. Concentric slivers of electric-blue, purple, and gold-tan patina hug the obverse margins, framing the brilliant central area. The reverse is essentially untoned. Fully struck design elements and nearly perfect surfaces further add to the breathtaking eye appeal of this Superb Gem proof with NGC's coveted Star designation. Census: 2 in 67

1900 25C PR67 Cameo NGC. An extraordinary Superb Gem Cameo proof, this piece exhibits fully brilliant silver surfaces with a hint of gold toning along the borders. Both sides have remarkable contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and lustrous devices. Census: 15 in 67 Cameo, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1904 25C PR67 PCGS Secure. Technical grade, original color, strike, and almost perfectly preserved surfaces all come together on this coin to produce what surely must be one of the most attractive Barber quarters for type purposes. Each side has emerald-green, scarlet, and blue colors interspersed and they are backlit by the bright proof mirrors. A must-see coin. Population: 10 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1904 25C PR67 NGC. This piece deserves a Cameo designation, in our opinion, as it displays fully brilliant silver surfaces and excellent contrast. This piece and others like it were discouraged at the Mint, it being the feeling of Mint officers that cameo contrast was undesirable. Of course that has all changed now, and cameo or deep cameo contrast is the pinnacle of numismatics. Census: 36 in 67, 6 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1905 25C PR66 NGC. This is a visually impressive coin that has much original brilliance remaining on each side. Additionally there is an irregular smattering of golden-russet and cobalt-blue toning that is deeper around the margins than elsewhere. The fields are brightly reflective, and the only contact marks are tiny (loupe required) in the right obverse field. Exceptional quality.(
Registry values: N2998)
1906 25C PR64 PCGS. The reverse is sun-gold, while the obverse displays rich apricot, ocean-blue, and forest-green toning. Decisively struck and undisturbed by contact or carbon. A meager 675 proofs were produced.(
Registry values: N1793)
1906 25C PR66 NGC. This boldly defined proof has brilliant silver surfaces with no evidence of toning on either side. Both sides show faint cameo contrast, although insufficient for the Cameo proof designation. Census: 44 in 66, 33 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1909 25C PR64 NGC. This sharply defined and fully brilliant silver proof has excellent contrast between the fields and devices, and should be designated as a Cameo proof. The borders have a trace of champagne toning.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909 25C PR66 NGC. Golden-brown, powder-blue, and plum-red toning adorns this razor-sharp Premium Gem. Both sides appear flawless aside from a single hair-thin line above Liberty's eye. Many numismatists are amused by the enormous numismatic premiums assigned to certain modern issues such as the 1995-W silver eagle, while both mintages and premiums are much lower for early 20th century proofs. Census: 38 in 66, 32 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1909 25C PR65 Cameo NGC. Ex: Pittman. A brightly contrasted and glittering Gem with pleasingly frosted devices. A few minor patches of cloudy patina rest on the mirrors. Census: 8 in 65 Cameo, 19 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1914 25C PR64 NGC. The proof mintage of 1914 Barber quarters was a stingy 360 coins, at a time when everyone but Charles Barber had tired of the series. This reflective near-Gem boasts lilac patina over frosty, well-struck surfaces. A single slide mark appears on the cheek.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914 25C PR68 NGC. This Superb Gem coin is gorgeously patinated in swaths of ocean-blue and orange-gold, complementing a blush of lilac on the portrait. The strike is razor-sharp, particularly on the fletchings, claws, and shield corners. A flawless and exemplary type representative, from the proof mintage of 380 coins--lowest of the entire series. Census: 8 in 68, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1915 25C PR66 NGC. The low mintage was only 450 proofs for this issue, coming near the end of the Barber series. This Premium Gem proof offers a delightful two-toned approach, aquamarine centers on the obverse with a glint of saffron near the rim, while lilac and more saffron dominate the reverse. Contact is not a factor on this piece, which is close to a full strike. The eye appeal is super. Census: 23 in 66, 19 finer (4/10).(

Standing Liberty Quarters
1916 25C VG8 PCGS. Just enough of the date remains to positively identify this issue, although other die characteristics unique to the 1916 issue are also clearly visible. The surfaces are mostly pewter-gray with some deeper steel toning outlining the devices. Here is an affordable example of the key 1916 Standing Liberty quarter.(
Registry values: N1)
1916 25C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. VF. Like the Mercury dime, the Standing Liberty quarter had its foremost key date appear in the first year of production, 1916. Unlike the Mercury dime, which also has other, higher-mintage issues bearing the same date as the 1916-D but different mintmarks, the Philadelphia Standing Liberty quarter issue of 1916 was the only one produced that year. Moreover, the quarter issue's mintage of just 52,000 pieces was less than one-fifth that of the 1916-D Mercury dime.
While this piece is just a bit too bright to be believable, the effect of the cleaning is subdued by gray-rose toning that covers each side. All four digits in the date are legible if just a bit weak at the tops. Numerous small, but individually insignificant abrasions are scattered over both obverse and reverse.(
Registry values: N2998)
1917 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. A delightful Gem example of this popular Type One type issue with Full Head details. Satiny with color ranging from silver-white to tan.(

1917 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. A tempting Type One Gem with sparkling satin luster and great eye appeal. Rich pastel-rose and periwinkle blue toning gives way to dots of deep tan and umber at the lower reverse border.(
Registry values: N1793)
1917 25C Type One MS65 Full Head NGC. The borders exhibit a hint of tan toning, but this lustrous and fully struck Gem is otherwise brilliant. Splendidly preserved, and an excellent candidate for a quality silver type set.(
Registry values: N1793)
1917 25C Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Subtly frosted luster lends this essentially silver-white piece delightful eye appeal. The bottom obverse rim adds a touch of orange, as does the lower reverse. Sharply struck and impressive.(
Registry values: N1793)
1917 25C Type One MS67 Full Head NGC. Sharply struck with lovely, radiantly lustrous surfaces that are lightly toned and have a pleasing, slightly granular, matte-like texture. Small apricot toning specks are lightly scattered over both obverse and reverse, and there are only a couple of small contact marks on the obverse. Conditionally scarce as a Superb Gem, and with full striking definition on Liberty's head, with none graded any higher by either service. Census: 59 in 67 Full Head, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1917-D 25C Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. Both sides of this boldly detailed and unmarked Gem have brilliant and frosty surfaces with ivory luster. The obverse has pale champagne toning with deep golden-steel at the border and outlining the devices. The reverse is mostly pale lilac with splashes of gold at the border.(
Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 25C Type One MS66 NGC. Fewer than 2 million 1917-S quarters were struck with the Type One design, and survivors that rate better than Gem are few and far between. This satiny, faintly gold-tinged silver piece has excellent definition overall, though flatness on Liberty's head denies a Full Head designation. Census: 11 in 66, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 25C Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. The 1917-S Type One quarter should be a common coin, even with Full Head details, with its mintage of 1.9 million pieces. That, of course, is not the case. As is the case with many S-mint coins, pieces were heavily circulated and fewer were set aside than their P and D-mint counterparts. This is a lovely example that has thick mint frost, complete definition throughout, and just a touch of peripheral russet toning over the otherwise brilliant surfaces. Population: 60 in 66 Full Head, 9 finer (4/10).(

1917 25C Type Two MS66 Full Head NGC. Light almond-gold toning graces this lustrous and well preserved Premium Gem. A superior strike, especially on the shield rivets. Census: 41 in 66 Full Head, 12 finer (4/10).(

1917-D 25C Type Two MS66 PCGS. Magnificently patinated in fire-red, apple-green, and stone-gray. Lustrous and mark-free with a good strike aside from three shield rivets and the center of the head. Scarcer than its Type One predecessor in Mint State, despite a significantly greater mintage.(

1918 25C MS66 Full Head NGC. The 1918 Standing Liberty quarter is one of the better-produced issues in the series up to that point, save for the 1917 Type Two, according to Cline. This Premium Gem boasts cartwheel luster over silver-white surfaces, and the date is fully struck, even on the often-weak top portion. A touch of dark toning appears to the left of Liberty's left (facing) leg. The strike is uniformly sharp. Census: 27 in 66 Full Head, 3 finer (4/10).(

1918/7-S 25C Fine 12 NGC. FS-101. It is a natural tendency for numismatists to "hit the highlights" for series they do not collect by date. Although Jay Cline, the noted Standing Liberty quarter proponent, memorably urged readers of
The Coin Dealer Newsletter's CDN Monthly Supplement to think of his preferred coins as "more than a few key dates," the fact remains that when a nonspecialist considers Standing Liberty quarters, usually just those few key dates come to mind. The 1918/7-S overdate is firmly established as one of those keys. This piece was obviously plucked from circulation many years ago. The surfaces are light gray with occasional, contrasting darker gray around the devices. The date and underdigit are worn, but definitely readable. Numerous small abrasions are peppered over each side.(

1918/7-S 25C VF25 PCGS Secure. FS-101. In the fourth edition, volume two of the
Cherrypickers' Guide, there are just five varieties listed for the Standing Liberty quarter; curiously, all come from the San Francisco Mint. Before the three mintmark errors and the prominent 1929-S clashed obverse die comes the granddaddy of the series, the 1918/7-S quarter. The
Cherrypickers' Guide states: "This clear overdate, 1918/7, was caused by using two different dated hubs when the die was made." As usual, the underdigit is prominent on this extensively circulated example. The surfaces are natural, light gray overall with hints of golden and rose. Minimally abraded.(
Registry values: N2998)
1918/7-S 25C AU55 PCGS. FS-101. In Mint State, the 1918/7-S is the key to the Standing Liberty series. Even at the AU55 level, it is rarer than its closest competitor, the 1916. Since the normal date 1918-S has a mintage of more than 11 million pieces, collectors of the day saw little need to set aside examples, and most 1918/7-S quarters circulated until wear on the date made the variety unattributable.
The present Choice AU example has a bold overdate. The crossbar and downstroke of the 7 is obvious. The surfaces shimmer with luster, although light wear is present on Liberty's leg and inner shield. Medium silver-gray and olive toning confirms the originality.(
Registry values: N4719)
1918/7-S 25C AU55 NGC. FS-101. The extensive popularity of the 1918/7-S quarter reaches well beyond specialist circles, since overdates as a class have their own adherents and enthusiasts. In "The Ten Top Error Coins," an article in the June 1996 edition of
Coins by Al Doyle, the 1918/7-S Standing Liberty quarter ranks sixth on the list, which also includes other memorable overdates, such as the Denver and Philadelphia 1942/1 dimes and the New Orleans and Philadelphia 1887/6 Morgan dollars. Similarly, this charming piece is sure to rank highly with the successful bidder. Only slight, even wear is seen over the high points, and each side displays muted gray patina with a tinge of golden. A few shallow field marks are seen on the reverse, but none are worthy of individual mention.(

1923-S 25C AU53 ICG. A lightly worn example of this popular S-mint issue, conditionally challenging any finer. Surfaces are generally still-lustrous silver, though spots of reddish-brown toning are noted at the margins.(
Registry values: N991)
1925 25C MS66 Full Head NGC. Attentively struck on both head and shield, a wonderful Premium Gem example of this recessed-date issue. Light golden overtones grace strongly lustrous surfaces. Census: 35 in 66 Full Head, 12 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1926-S 25C MS66 NGC. In terms of condition and appearance this example of the 1926-S appears hard to beat, as none are certified finer at PCGS and only two at NGC. This frosty Premium Gem boasts ice-white surfaces that are essentially free of any distraction, other than the minor strike softness that is common on this strike-challenged issue. Raised parallel die lines prominent on the reverse and from die polishing, indicative of a fresh new die. Census: 10 in 66, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1928-D 25C MS67 NGC. An extraordinary Superb Gem. Both sides have fully brilliant centers with bright luster, while the margins are toned in navy-blue and golden-brown. Census: 9 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1929-S 25C MS66 Full Head NGC. Dappled olive-brown and purple toning is confined mostly to the borders of this Premium Gem, especially on the obverse. Lustrous, minimally abraded surfaces exhibit well struck devices, culminating in a Full Head on Liberty.(
Registry values: N1793)
1929-S 25C MS67 Full Head NGC. The frosty and completely silver-white 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 (4/10).(

Early Half Dollars
1794 50C VF20 PCGS. O-101, R.4. A small mintage of 23,464 Flowing Hair half dollars was achieved using the 1794-dated dies, with 11 die varieties known for the date. The present coin is a representative of the O-101 variety, distinguished by the position of the first star point piercing the lowest curl, and the 21 berries on the reverse. Only 5,300 half dollars were actually delivered in 1794, on October 15. Mint records indicate the balance of the issue was delivered on February 4, 1795, an early example of the Mint's practice of using dies as long as they were useful, without regard for the date of manufacture.
The present coin is a pleasing specimen, with moderate, even wear and a few adjustment marks evident on the obverse. The surfaces are toned gunmetal-gray, with hints of lilac. Population: 34 in 20, 90 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1795 50C 2 Leaves--Repaired--NCS. VF Details. O-116, R.5. Overly glossy surfaces have pearl-gray centers bounded by charcoal hues. Some of the letters in LIBERTY appear to have been strengthened, accounting for the "Repaired" designation.(
Registry values: N2998)
1795 50C 2 Leaves--Cleaned--ANACS. VF30 Details. O-110, R.4. A moderately worn representative of the ever-popular Flowing Hair half dollar type, struck from a scarce die pair. Cleaned, granular surfaces show shifting shades of silver-gray and scattered abrasions and pinscratches, most notably in the space between the portrait and date. Still, a readily collectible representative.(
Registry values: N2998)
1795 50C 2 Leaves, A Over E VG8 PCGS. O-113a, R.4. The popular variety with the A in STATES cut over an E. Mentioned in the
Guide Book but not separated priced. This cream-gray Flowing Hair half lacks consequential marks, and all peripheral stars and letters are distinct from the rim.(
Registry values: N991)
1801 50C XF40 PCGS. O-101, R.3. After a four-year hiatus, the United States began to issue half dollars again in 1801, using Robert Scot's obverse from 1796-1797 and a new reverse featuring a Heraldic Eagle with olive branch and arrows in hand. The mintage in 1801 was nearly 10 times that of 1797 at 30,289 pieces, but these coins are by no means common. This example features medium gray surfaces with a touch of violet and some faint mint luster. Even wear for the grade, without any notable distractions noted. Population: 15 in 40, 28 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1803 50C Large 3 XF45 ANACS. O-103, R.3. Large 3 on the obverse with the reverse showing an arrowhead that reaches all the way to the end of the N in UNITED. Lightly rubbed but still-lustrous surfaces show a mix of gold and deep steel-violet color.(
Registry values: N1793)
1803 50C Small 3 VF25 PCGS. CAC. O-104, R.3. Autumn-gold and stone-gray embrace this lightly abraded and problem-free Draped Bust half. A scarce Guide Book variety, since the other three 1803-dated Overton die pairs feature a Large 3.
1803 50C Small 3 AU50 NGC. O-104, R.3. This attractive piece has deep cobalt-blue and mauve-gray toning intermixed over each side, with some underlying brightness. Free from any relevant abrasions. This is a choice and appealing example of the only Small 3 die marriage. Hence the Overton-104 receives its own Guide Book listing.
1805 50C AU53 NGC. O-111, R.2. Both star 1 and the digit 1 nearly touch the curl and bust, and star 9 is recut. On the reverse there are five berries, all with stems, and a star touches the beak and scroll. Minor wear and rub on the high points keep this piece out of the Mint State range, but there are few mentionable marks on either side of this pinkish-gold specimen. The strike is somewhat blunt on the lower reverse, as usual for this die pairing.(
Registry values: N2998)
1805 50C AU55 NGC. O-106, R.3. From a large mintage of 211,722 pieces, the 1805 Draped Bust half dollar is known in 14 die varieties. The present coin is a representative of the O-106 variety, with the leaf pointing to the right base of the I in AMERICA. Only minimal wear shows on the devices of this well preserved specimen, and much luster remains in the fields. A few adjustment marks are present on the reverse.(
Registry values: N2998)
1806 50C Knobbed 6, Large Stars AU53 NGC. O-105, R.2. A die crack is present through several left-side stars as in O-105a, but the crack is very faint. Rich golden-brown, plum, apple-green, and cream-gray bathe this glossy and partly lustrous example. The strike is blunt on the cloud pair beneath OF, as usual for the type, but the major devices have strong details overall.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (2/2005), lot 6930; FUN Signature (1/2006), lot 2629.
1806 50C Pointed 6, No Stem AU55 PCGS. O-109a, R.3. In this late die state, the obverse stars are drawn to the edge, and there is scant trace visible here of the long, spiky protrusion from between star 7 and the L. A bold, horizontal die crack runs through star 12. The present Choice AU coin exhibits lots of bold luster over orange-gold and silver surfaces with tinges of ice-blue near the rims. There is die rust appearing on both sides, in the form of pebbly surfaces on the coin, and clashing from the clouds on the reverse is visible in the date.
1807 50C Draped Bust Genuine PCGS. O-104, Low R.5. The PCGS number ending in .82 suggests Filed Rims 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 cleaned XF specimen with filed rims. Light chestnut-gold toning visits this attractively detailed better variety Draped Bust half. Luster emerges from the design, and no marks are individually distracting.
1807 50C Draped Bust AU55 PCGS. CAC. O-102, R.2. A relatively accessible final-year Draped Bust half dollar variety with a distinctively shaped letter Y in LIBERTY. This example is strongly lustrous. Light gold to peach overtones cover most of the obverse but only a little of the reverse. Rub is found mostly on the highest design elements.(
Registry values: N2998)
1807 50C Draped Bust AU55 NGC. O-103, R.3. Although the clash marks and flow lines on this piece suggests a late die state, there is no evidence of the State a reverse crack that Overton describes. This deeply toned Choice AU example has nearly full luster with iridescent highlights. Slightly weak at the centers as usual. This example appears to be in or near the Condition Census.(
Registry values: N2998)
1807 50C Draped Bust AU58 NGC. O-105, R.1. Light gold toning visits unmarked and partly lustrous surfaces. The reverse is surprisingly devoid of marks, and the obverse has only a few faint hairlines. At least six sets of clashmarks are present, most prominent near the O in OF. A desirable near-Mint Draped Bust type coin.(
Registry values: N2998)
1807 50C Draped Bust AU58 NGC. CAC. O-105a, R.4. Although the O-105 die combination is considered common, late die state pieces are elusive, and only two or three are known that are finer than this specimen. Light ivory and gray at the centers has a frame of lovely iridescence near the borders. The specialist will want to take advantage of this important opportunity.(

1807 50C Draped Bust MS62 NGC. O-105, R.1. Obverse 4 is used for O-105, 106, and 107, and has the serif of the 1 firmly joined or overlapping the hair curl. The upper beak and star 12 are joined point to point on this single variety reverse die.
A splendid Mint State piece with full satin luster, brilliant mint surfaces, and sharp design details. The central obverse and most of the reverse have pale champagne toning, with attractive peripheral iridescence. Several Mint State 1807 O-105 half dollars are known.

Bust Half Dollars
1807 50C Large Stars, 50 Over 20 XF40 PCGS. CAC. O-111a, R.5. The "Bearded Goddess" as PCGS notes on the holder, although in the earlier O-111a die state, with the die crack clear between the chin and neck, but only faintly onto the face and not yet turning around and coming back down to just before the 1 and to the milling. The reverse is identified by the die defect dot just below the lowest arrowhead. This piece offers slate-gray coloration dominating, with lighter silver color around the device edges and high points. A collectible example of this classic American numismatic issue.
1807 50C Large Stars, 50 Over 20 AU50 PCGS. O-112, R.1. Clearly an advanced die state on both sides, though it lacks the reverse "cud" that distinguishes the very scarce O-112a subvariety. This lightly worn example is still-lustrous with gold overtones and a spot of charcoal color over the 18 in the date. A channel in the metal running from Liberty's cap up to the rim is of indeterminate origin.(
Registry values: N1793)
1812 50C MS64 NGC. O-110, R.1. From a large mintage of 1.6 million pieces, the 1812 Capped Bust half dollar is an available date and a popular type coin. The present coin is a sharply struck Choice example, with lustrous surfaces and no mentionable distractions. Census: 71 in 64, 39 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
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 offers 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 is attractive despite a few thin marks on the central reverse. Census: 14 in 55, 32 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1824/1 50C MS64 NGC. O-101, R.2. The prominent overdate identifies the obverse. On the reverse, the top of the U is slightly higher than the N in UNITED. Coruscating luster enhances the minimally marked surfaces. Light gray toning on the centers yields to golden accents around the rims with a hint of red on the reverse. Well-struck with great eye appeal.
1824/1 50C MS64 NGC. O-101a, R.2. Ex: Eliasberg. The Eliasberg specimen is probably at the low end of the Condition Census for the O-101 die combination. The surfaces have light champagne toning that is slightly deeper on the obverse, along with traces and flashes of iridescence. The claws to the left and the lowest pair of olive leaves show some weakness, but all other obverse and reverse features are sharp.
Ex: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Estate (Bowers and Merena, 4/1997), lot 1799.
1824/4 50C MS64 PCGS. O-110, R.2. The 4 is recut over a 4, with the top of the first 4 visible to the left of the final one, and on the reverse there is a die dot below the U of UNUM. The letters AME are solidly joined at their bases. This early die state piece has no evidence of the reverse crack that forms later. The surfaces are outstanding, with full luster beneath deep gold, green, and gray toning. All of the design elements are sharply detailed. Population: 12 in 64, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1825 50C MS64 NGC. O-115, R.3. This reverse is the only one paired with this obverse, which normally shows a small, disconnected straight bar near the right base of the 1 in the date; however, in this advanced die stage, metal flow draws the peripheral devices toward the border and renders the bar invisible. The reverse shows the third line of stripe 4 extending to the second crossbar. This is a lovely near-Gem example with mellow, consistent luster throughout. The powder-gray devices are outlined in iridescent jade and gold on the obverse, with some charcoal on the reverse. Contact is minimal.(
Registry values: N2998)
1831 50C MS65 PCGS. O-103, R.1. A couple of finer MS66 examples are known, but this Gem is certainly in the O-103 Condition Census. Both sides are highly lustrous with full mint brilliance. The upper obverse and lower reverse show slight weakness, although the balance of the design details are sharp. This lovely example will make a nice addition to any type, date, or specialized variety collection.(
Registry values: N4719)
1832 50C Small Letters MS62 PCGS. O-103, R.1. Like many of Overton's 103 varieties, this die pair has recutting on the upright of the 5 in the denomination. An attractive and lustrous example, toned gold-rose and blue-violet with few overt abrasions for the grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1832 50C Small Letters MS64 PCGS. CAC. O-113, R.2. This early die state piece has complete obverse and reverse border details. Remarkable near-Gem quality, the central devices are light silver and the surrounding fields are gold toned with lovely peripheral iridescence. Probably a low end Census piece.(
Registry values: N2998)
Reeded Edge Half Dollars
1836 50C Reeded Edge VF35 PCGS. The 1836 Reeded Edge half dollar is the first year of this important two year design type. From a tiny mintage of 1,200 pieces, the 1836 is definitely scarcer than its 1837 counterpart. The present coin is lightly worn, with all major design features plainly delineated. The surfaces are a pleasing silver-gray, with some luster remaining.(
Registry values: N1793)
1837 50C MS66 NGC. In 1836 the Mint chose the newly designed Capped Bust, Reeded Edge half dollars to try its new steam-powered presses, combined with the "close collar" technology that produced the edge reeding. The 1836 mintage was a scant 1,200 pieces recorded. The 1837 mintage is reported as 3.6 million coins, making this issue ideal for a type set, as the reverse was changed the following year, 1838, to HALF DOL. from 50 CENTS.
This piece offers surfaces that are untoned with swirling, frosted mint luster. The obverse shows multiple clash marks and advanced die fatigue, with fine die striae running outward from the center throughout the coin. The strike is bold in the centers, but the design elements weaken at the rim, most notably on each side from about 8 to 10 o'clock, an effect likely coupled with die misalignment, as the opposite rim elements are noticeably stronger. There are no visible die breaks, but this coin was produced from dies that clearly were in service for a long while. A carefully preserved and interesting Premium Gem.(
Registry values: N7079)
1838 50C MS61 NGC. Crisply detailed with pale, lustrous surfaces, faintly gold-toned at the margins with a spot of deep color over the eagle's head. Minimally marked overall but with a few shallow pinscratches noted to the left of the portrait.(
Registry values: N1793)
1838 50C MS64 PCGS. While the Reeded Edge half dollar of 1838 has a massive mintage of over 3.5 million pieces, few survivors are so well-preserved as this near-Gem. Dappled blue-green and gold shadings cover most of the lustrous surfaces, though there are also areas that remain silver with minimal toning. Top-notch eye appeal with only minor, scattered marks. A small die cud is noted in the date area. Population: 39 in 64, 8 finer (4/10).(

Seated Half Dollars
1839 50C No Drapery XF45 PCGS. Walnut-brown and gunmetal-blue patina encompasses this richly detailed Choice XF Seated half. Undistinguished by contact except for a hair-thin mark east of the Y in LIBERTY. A popular and very scarce introductory design subtype.(
Registry values: N991)
1839 50C No Drapery AU58 NGC. WB-101. Much of the luster is still present on this interesting example of the 1839 No Drapery, an issue that forms only a minority of the total mintage of 1.97 million pieces. The "so-called proofs and some business strikes" were produced from the reverse die of this coin, according to Wiley-Bugert, characterized by extensive die cracks. One crack runs from under HALF DOLLAR around the rim to the tops of MERICA; a second crack runs through the center reverse from the olive leaves to the shield, right wing, and R. This glossy piece is silver-white with a few scattered ticks and abrasions.(
Registry values: N1793)
1855-O 50C Arrows MS63 NGC. A richly toned example of the last O-mint Arrows, No Motto half dollar issue. Bold luster lights up the gold, orange, and blue hues that embrace each side.(
Registry values: N1793)
1858 50C MS64 PCGS. Impressively lustrous and solidly struck. This near-Gem has bold toning with orange, rose, and blue elements prevailing. Population: 57 in 64, 16 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1861-O 50C CSA Obverse AU58 ANACS. WB-102. This advanced die state is identifiable as the Confederate obverse by "a die crack from Liberty's nose to the rim slightly to the right of the 7th star." The crack is definitely present, but the deep blue and russet peripheral toning almost renders it invisible. Otherwise, the coin is sharply struck and the glossy surfaces retain much original mint luster. The CSA die crack and the CSA restrike halves are about as close as most of us will ever get to owning one of the four original CSA halves.
Confederate States of America
1861 50C Scott Restrike MS63 NGC. Breen-8002. The Scott restrike Confederate States of America half dollars are always extremely popular, whether for history buffs or numismatists, as the original CSA half dollars are so rare that the chances of obtaining one of the four known examples are slim to none. J.W. Scott made 500 restrikes by planing off the reverse of, supposedly, 1861-O half dollars and restriking them with the Confederate HALF DOL. reverse.
This piece is remarkable on two counts: One is the unusually high grade. Even most of the certified Mint State pieces range from MS60-MS62. In addition, the obverse is strongly struck, an unusual phenomenon since the obverse was normally flattened when the reverse die struck the planed-off side. This piece shows some softness on the obverse high points, but the stars all have their centrils. The fields show evidence of buckling, another tipoff (if one were needed) that this is a restrike. Pale lilac-golden toning appears on the reverse, with an even golden layer over the obverse. A few minor obverse field marks account for the grade. Census: 8 in 63, 13 finer (4/10).
1861 50C Scott Token MS64 PCGS. Breen-8003. These popular tokens were struck in white metal by J.W. Scott circa 1879, pairing the Confederate States of America obverse with a custom commemorative reverse. This near-Gem is one of just 500 pieces struck for this Guide Book issue. Light yellow and blue toning has settled over much of the gleaming surfaces. A few planchet flaws and abrasions are noted on each side.
Seated Half Dollars
1864 50C MS63 ANACS. A sharply struck half dollar that has only a hint of gold patina on each side. Marks are surprisingly minimal. The obverse exhibits cartwheel luster, while the reverse is prooflike.(
Registry values: N1793)
1866 50C Motto MS62 NGC. Soft luster glimmers most strongly at the margins of this first-year Motto half. Golden border toning gives way to dusky blue-green at the centers, and both hues are deeper on the reverse. Census: 11 in 62, 25 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1872-CC 50C VF20 PCGS. Dusky rose, peach, and gray hues mingle on each side of this Carson City half dollar. A combination of moderate wear and striking softness has rendered the E in LIBERTY illegible. Population: 6 in 20, 84 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1872-S 50C MS65 NGC. WB-102. Medium-Small Mintmark. The 1872-S Seated Liberty half dollar is scarce in all grades, rare in Mint State, and very rare at the Gem level. This attractive Gem is sharply struck, with subdued satiny mint luster. each side is covered with a light golden-olive patina. No mentionable flaws are evident. Census: 1 in 65, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1875 50C MS64 NGC. Golden-brown and sea-green blend across this satiny and crisply struck near-Gem. Despite a production of more than 6 million pieces, the 1875 is as elusive in Mint State as many of the low mintage post-1878 dates. Census: 36 in 64, 20 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1875-S 50C MS64 NGC. CAC. Generally well-defined at the centers, though the obverse stars exhibit perceptible softness. Light golden toning visits frosted surfaces, with the frost most apparent over the figure of Liberty.(
Registry values: N1793)
1890 50C MS67 NGC. Last of the low-mintage half dollars that began in 1879, only 12,000 coins were struck for circulation in 1890. Predictably for a coin with such a low mintage, the fields on this piece are bright and semireflective. This brightness gives added vibrancy to the golden-rose and pale blue toning seen on each side. The strike is strong throughout and there are only the tiniest field marks present, and a loupe is required to see them. Census: 6 in 67, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1)
1891 50C MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike ANACS. This final year Seated half has every appearance of a proof, except that the strike is slightly incomplete on Liberty's hair and the eagle's claws. Flashy and brilliant save for golden-brown, sea-green, and ruby-red toning on the reverse periphery.(
Registry values: N991)
1891 50C MS63 PCGS. The medium cream-gray toning displays hints of olive, rose, and tan, especially near the rims. Satiny and nicely struck with unmarked surfaces save for light horizontal hairlines on the right obverse field.(

Proof Seated Half Dollars
1858 50C --Polished--NGC Details. Proof. A sharply detailed proof with light silver surfaces and a touch of peripheral gold toning. Some slight surface roughness is noted, with evidence of polishing on each side.
1858 50C PR63 Cameo PCGS. There is a wide variance in the estimated number of proofs struck of this date. Wiley and Bugert estimate between 80 and 400 pieces. This cameo shows deeply mirrored fields with sharply contrasting mint frost over the fields. The strike is intricately detailed on each side. A few small contact marks and hairlines account for the grade, and each side has just a bit of golden toning. Population: 1 in 63 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10).
1869 50C PR64 Cameo NGC. A nicely contrasted survivor from this 600-coin proof issue, the present near-Gem boasts lightly but thoroughly toned surfaces that nonetheless allow the passage of radiant luster. Golden central tones cede to ice-blue and amber near the rims on the obverse, while deeper amber-gold on the reverse gives way to violet near the margin. A well-struck piece, save for IN GO and the scroll nearby, and exceptionally attractive.
1875 50C PR64 Cameo PCGS. Rich gold-gray, lavender, and yellow shadings drape this near-Gem but do little to dim its essential contrast. Both sides sport impressively frosted and sharply struck devices, though the reverse has a slightly bolder cameo effect. Minor hairlines under the patina account for the grade. Population: 5 in 64 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10).
1881 50C PR63 NGC. Type Two Reverse. This desirable proof is in demand due to the rarity of associated business strikes. Some design weakness is evident on the reverse. Both sides have pleasing gold and iridescent toning.
1881 50C PR65 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Although 975 proofs were minted, this is a very elusive date in the With Motto Seated half series. Both sides are toned in a similar fashion with deep gray and antique-gold centers bordered with cobalt-blue, and there are sprinkles of brilliance on the obverse. Sharply defined throughout, and a very desirable example.
1882 50C PR62 Cameo NGC. A virtually untoned representative that boasts a good strike and nice white-on-black contrast. The few delicate hairlines on the right reverse field are characteristic of the grade. Census: 11 in 62 Cameo, 60 finer (4/10).
1883 50C PR65 PCGS. This charming Gem boasts pinkish-gold and sky-blue original patina clinging to lustrous surfaces that show considerable contrast, although not deep enough for a Cameo designation. This piece shows some minor contact in the left obverse field, scarcely seen without a strong loupe.
1884 50C PR63 NGC. Caramel-gold enriches this lightly toned and boldly struck Select proof Seated half. Cameo contrast is modest but palpable. A nearly imperceptible fingerprint fragment is observed near star 13. A scant 875 proofs were coined.
1884 50C PR64 NGC. The left foot of the 1 in the date is recut. Mostly brilliant with hints of tan-gold at the margins. Precisely struck and free from contact marks. Icy devices suggest a Cameo designation, but none is forthcoming from NGC.
1888 50C PR65 Cameo NGC. Wispy gray toning graces intense mirrors and thickly frosted devices alike on this attractive Gem, and the margins offer a faint undercurrent of gold. Excellent overall eye appeal for this later proof Seated half issue, though a few trivial faults are noted in the right obverse field.
Barber Half Dollars
1892 50C MS64 NGC. CAC. Swirling, frosty luster with glimpses of gold against silver-white surfaces. A well struck near-Gem with great eye appeal for this first-year issue, an ideal type coin.(
Registry values: N1793)
1894-O 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. As one would expect this New Orleans issue was not extensively saved at the time of issue. Most of the survivors are clustered in the MS62-64 grade range, and pieces that are finer are rarely encountered. This is a deeply and obviously originally toned example that has strong underlying mint luster. The devices are sharply struck for an O-mint half, and there are only the smallest abrasions present.(
Registry values: N2998)
1900 50C MS64 NGC. CAC. Dusky lavender-rose patina drapes the centers of this lovely near-Gem, while the margins offer glints of green-gold. Satiny and captivating. Census: 51 in 64, 16 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1901-S 50C AU50 PCGS. Greenish-yellow toning with bluish accents covers both sides, the color a touch lighter on the reverse. Well struck and without individually significant marks. Population: 9 in 50, 45 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1902-O 50C MS62 PCGS. CAC. A wonderful example, seldom encountered in any Mint State grade, this 1902-O Barber half dollar is attractively toned with gold iridescence over frosty luster. Population: 6 in 62, 30 finer (4/10).(

1907-O 50C MS65 PCGS. From a large mintage of nearly 4 million pieces, the 1907-O Barber half dollar is surprisingly difficult to locate at the Gem level. To date, PCGS has certified only 14 examples in MS65, with seven finer; while NGC has graded only 17 specimens at the Gem level, with 10 finer (4/10). The present coin is sharply struck, with mostly brilliant surfaces, touched here-and-there with shades of gray and green at the borders.(
Registry values: N2998)
1908 50C MS67 NGC. The 1908 is a slightly better date, and in Gem and finer grades is quite challenging. This piece is untoned silver-white. 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 (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1909-S 50C MS66 ★ NGC. The 1909-S half dollar is a somewhat overlooked issue within the Barber series at the Gem level of preservation, even more scarce in better Mint State grades than its mintage of 1.76 million pieces would suggest. The outstanding technical merits of this vibrant representative are perhaps surpassed by the coin's aesthetic appeal. Untoned centers give way to vivid shades of russet and turquoise iridescence at the margins. The only MS66 example out of six graded by NGC to receive the Star designation, with none finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1912-D 50C MS66 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. The 1912-D half dollar, with a mintage of 2.3 million pieces, is one of the most, if not
the most, common date in the Barber half dollar series. However, the "common" descriptor ends with the MS64 grade classification; MS65 coins are scarce, Premium Gems are rare, and finer examples are unknown. This MS66 coin displays glowing luster from silver-gray surfaces that are peppered with speckles of olive-tan, especially on the obverse. The design elements are well impressed throughout. Census: 8 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/97), lot 2127.(
Registry values: N4719)
1913-D 50C MS64 PCGS. Lustrous light silver-gray in the centers with dots of blue-green and gold near the rims. Slightly soft on certain obverse stars but well struck elsewhere. Population: 66 in 64, 12 finer (4/10).(

Proof Barber Half Dollars
1892 50C PR64 NGC. Attractive blue-green and rose-red toning enrich the borders. The ice-white devices clearly merit a Cameo designation, which is denied by the early generation holder. HALF DOLLAR exhibits minute die doubling.(
Registry values: N1793)
1893 50C PR64 Cameo NGC. Consistent light almond-gold toning graces this boldly struck and undisturbed near-Gem. Only 792 proofs were issued, a considerable reduction in mintage from the introductory year of the type. Census: 26 in 64 Cameo, 44 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1893 50C PR64 Cameo NGC. A Choice proof 1893 half dollar, this piece exhibits desirable field to device contrast with light violet and iridescent toning. Faint slide marks on Liberty's cheek prevent an even higher grade. Census: 26 in 64 Cameo, 44 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1893 50C PR65 Cameo NGC. Business strike 1893 half dollars are seldom seen in high grades, placing extra demand on the proofs. Gem Cameo proofs like this piece are especially desirable. Both sides have brilliant and untoned silver surfaces with excellent contrast. The design elements are bold, and the overall appearance is first rate. Census: 12 in 65 Cameo, 32 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1893 50C PR67 Cameo NGC. Astonishing contrast is seen on each side of this all-brilliant second year of issue. The fields were polished with such vigor that the process also brightened the area just below Liberty's ear. As one would expect from a coin in such high grade, there are no discernable contact marks on either side. Just a splendid early Barber type coin. Census: 12 in 67 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1894 50C PR64 NGC. The obverse of this splendid proof is sharply defined, while the reverse has considerable weakness at the right side of the shield and into the right facing wing. Both sides have light cameo contrast, although insufficient for the Cameo designation. This piece has champagne toning that deepens near the borders.(
Registry values: N1793)
1897 50C PR64 Cameo PCGS. Each side has a hint of tan toning, but most collectors would regard this well struck proof as brilliant. Careful study beneath a loupe locates only a few stray field hairlines. A scant 575 proofs were coined. Population: 23 in 64 Cameo, 23 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1900 50C PR64 Cameo PCGS Secure. Here is an exceptional Cameo proof from the turn of the century, and the last year that Cameo proof coins were routinely made at the Mint. Beginning in 1901, cameo contrast was discouraged. This piece is fully brilliant with beautiful contrast between the frosty devices and mirrored fields.(
Registry values: N1793)
1900 50C PR67 Cameo PCGS. The entire obverse and half of the reverse of this Superb Gem Cameo proof displays gorgeous lemon, lime, and plum toning that creates exceptional eye appeal. Both sides are fully struck with pristine surfaces and obvious cameo contrast. Population: 4 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1901 50C PR67 NGC. This is a visually stunning coin. The obverse and reverse have different looks, but are equally impressive. The obverse is nearly brilliant with a pale ring of iridescence, while the reverse is mostly thalo blue with reddish accents around the margin. As expected, the surfaces are nearly perfect. There is an interesting surface anomaly we cannot quite figure out. In the field in front of Liberty's mouth, there is an area of what appears to be an unpolished part of the die, or perhaps porosity in the planchet, or surface roughness that was not struck out in the proofing process. Interesting. Census: 16 in 67, 7 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1903 50C PR64 NGC. This brilliant, sharply struck near-Gem proof appears to have some cameo contrast beneath the deep gold, russet, blue, and iridescent toning on both sides.(
Registry values: N1793)
1903 50C PR65 NGC. A goodly number of the 755 1903 proof half dollars have survived to the present day. Dappled yellow-green and reddish-gold patina runs over the obverse of this luminous Gem while the reverse consists mostly of splashes of reddish-orange. Well struck save for the usual weakness in the upper right shield corner. A few faint hairlines mingling with die polish lines show under magnification.(
Registry values: N2998)
1906 50C PR63 NGC. Gold-orange border toning with nearly unpatinated centers that are strongly mirrored. Wispy hairlines and a couple of pinscratches at Liberty's lower neck contribute to the grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1909 50C PR64 PCGS. The freckled golden-tan toning is somewhat more apparent on the reverse. Crisply struck, unblemished, and scarce, since a scant 650 proofs were struck. Population: 54 in 64, 53 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1909 50C PR64 NGC. A lovely near-Gem proof from the issuance of 650 pieces, this example exhibits amber-gold color predominating, with a ring of ice-blue around the reverse rim. The strike is bold but not full, and only a couple of tiny slide marks on the cheek appear to preclude an even finer grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1910 50C PR64 PCGS. Mildly contrasted on each side with faint frost over well-defined devices. Pleasingly mirrored but with minor hairlines that preclude Gem status. Population: 51 in 64, 33 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1914 50C PR64 NGC. Above-average contrast for the issue, if not to the Cameo level, with a touch of golden toning against silver surfaces. Well struck with a few modest hairlines and contact marks, the latter most visible at Liberty's lower neck.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914 50C PR65 NGC. From a low mintage of 380 pieces, the 1914 proof Barber half dollar is definitely a scarce date, but more available than the mintage suggests. Examples at the Gem level are quite scarce. The present coin displays sharp striking details, with brilliant reflective fields, and a few wisps of greenish-gray toning on the obverse borders. Overall visual appeal is stunning. Census: 34 in 65, 51 finer (4/10).(

Early Dollars
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves XF40 PCGS. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Die State III. The extra tine of metal in the left obverse field makes this attribution simple. In the common Die State III, a small die crack extends to the rim from the left stem end on the reverse. This is a bright silver-gray example, well-struck, with darker lavender and violet around the device outlines. Abrasions are minor, save for a single long scrape through the eagle's breast and a small tick just below Liberty's eye. There are no visible adjustment marks on either side. The moderate wear is consistent with the grade. A pleasing type example of this most-available early dollar issue.(
Registry values: N4719)
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. XF. B-5, BB-27, R.1. The short diagonal bar in the upper left obverse field immediately identifies the B-5 variety, the most plentiful die marriage among all 1795 silver dollars. This piece is nicely defined with deep gold and iridescent toning on top of its cleaned obverse and reverse surfaces. Minor adjustment marks are evident on the reverse.(
Registry values: N4719)
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. XF. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. A well detailed Flowing Hair dollar that has attractively retoned. The borders are powder-blue and apple-green, the fields are golden-brown, and the devices are cream-gray. The highpoints are hairlined, as is the obverse field, but otherwise only lightly abraded.(
Registry values: N4719)
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves XF40 PCGS. B-1, BB-21, R.2. Ex: Hesselgesser. The five prominent rear hair curls with an added sixth faint one attributes the obverse, along with the lowest hair curl pierced by star 1. The Two Leaves reverse is identified by leaves ending under the left upright of the E in STATES and midway under the last S. This is a lovely coin with lilac and orange coloration on the obverse, and a consistent silver-gold reverse. Both sides emanate considerable remaining luster, and a patch of small adjustment marks is well-hidden in the hair. This well-struck piece shows much detail on Liberty's flowing hair and on the eagle's wing feathers.(
Registry values: P4)
1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off Center AU50 NGC. B-14, BB-51, R.2. The misplaced device punch suggests that B-14 was struck before B-15 (since practice makes perfect), which would mean that B-14 was the first Draped Bust marriage of any denomination. Rich navy-blue, golden-brown, and olive-green toning blankets this lightly abraded Draped Bust silver dollar. Wear on Liberty's cheek and shoulder is moderate, and the hair, wreath, and borders shimmer with luster. A few minor adjustment marks are as made and relegated to the reverse border near 7 o'clock.(
Registry values: P3)
1796 $1 Small Date, Large Letters--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. VF. B-4, BB-61, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State II. The sole Large Letters variety aside from the extremely rare B-6. Deep cobalt-blue, lavender, and stone-gray embrace this bagmark-free early dollar. A few vertical hairlines cross Liberty's face, and minute rim nicks are noted at 5:30 and 6:30 on the reverse.(
Registry values: P4)
1796 $1 Small Date, Large Letters--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. XF. B-4, BB-61, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State II. Deeply retoned orange-brown, cobalt-blue, and olive-gold. The obverse displays mint-made adjustment marks, prominent on the portrait and border. The highpoints display wear, but luster lingers within the legends, hair, and wreath.(
Registry values: P4)
1796 $1 Small Date, Large Letters--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. B-4, BB-61, R.3. A heavy die lump above the 1 in the date identifies this obverse die. The Large Letters reverse only appears on B-4 and B-6, the latter a major rarity. That leaves the B-4 as the only Large Letters variety available to most collectors. This piece has light hairlines and other imperfections beneath gunmetal-blue and iridescent toning.(
Registry values: P4)
1796 $1 Small Date, Small Letters PCGS Genuine. B-1, BB-66, 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 XF specimen.
The damage on this piece consists of a small, hidden X scratch on the right facing wing. Otherwise, it is a pleasing piece with original deep gray surfaces and excellent design definition.
1797 $1 10x6 Stars, Large Letters--Graffiti, Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Fine. B-3, BB-71, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. Illegible graffiti scribbles are seen in several places on this once-wiped Small Eagle dollar. Thin granular streaks are noted near the chin, ear, and hair ribbon, and the mottled russet-brown, stone-gray, and ocean-blue toning appears artificial. Still a scarce and widely pursued early crown-sized type.(
Registry values: P4)
1797 $1 10x6 Stars, Large Letters AU53 NGC. B-3, BB-71, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. The unusual star arrangement of 10 stars left and only six right easily identifies this pairing, along with the lapping always seen on the highest hair curl below the B of LIBERTY. The reverse shows the Large Letters style, with eight berries on the left branch and a leaf terminating under the middle of E in STATES. The Die State III shows some of the palm leaves partially lapped away. This pleasing 1797 dollar has intermingled light gray and cobalt-blue toning over its light silver surfaces. Considerable frosty luster remains on both sides. This is an exceptional example for the dollar specialist or type collector.(
Registry values: P4)
1797 $1 9x7 Stars, Large Letters XF40 NGC. B-1, BB-73, R.3. An early die state, with the die flaw adjacent to star 9 still present. The current example is mostly untoned, although a light dusting of yellow, green, and russet toning is located around portions of the periphery. Planchet striations, as made, are scattered about both sides.(
Registry values: N2998)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. VF. B-28, BB-118, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State I. Golden-brown and electric-blue alternate across this impressively detailed early dollar. A diagonal scratch on the field near the nose and a thin mark from the rim to the D in UNITED, but otherwise free from consequential abrasions. Unimportant adjustment marks (as made) are noted on the upper reverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF40 NGC. B-29, BB-119, R.4. The famous Obverse 13 with distinct die crack network in the date area, paired with a reverse that has the F in OF over the left half of the cloud below rather than the edge. Glimmers of luster enliven lightly worn surfaces toned in gold, rose, and gray shadings. A rim bump is noted near the left upright of the U in UNITED on the reverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF40 PCGS. B-25, BB-123, R.4. The reverse shows the Line Star Pattern 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 reverse has a few thin abrasions, and the surfaces display noticeable brightness especially in the fields.(
Registry values: N1793)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. XF. B-25, BB-123, R.4. The reverse of this piece features the Line Star Pattern with the top row of stars forming two distinct lines of three stars each. This piece has been cleaned and recolored, now with attractive violet and blue iridescence.(
Registry values: N1793)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF45 ICG. B-8, BB-125, R.2. This is the only 1798 dollar variety that has only four berries in the branch on the reverse. The top row of stars is separated into three groups of two stars each. Both sides have attractive light gray surfaces that retain traces of luster.(
Registry values: N1793)
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9--Stained--NGC. AU Details. B-15, BB-112, R.3. Highly lustrous with satiny silver surfaces, this splendid dollar has excellent design definition with light gray-gold toning on both sides. Only a trace of wear is noted on the design high points of this spectacular piece. The NGC description refers to a small dark toning splash on the obverse.(
Registry values: N2998)
1799/8 $1 15 Stars Reverse--Harshly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. B-3, BB-141, R.3. The obverse has dentil clashing and the reverse has several cracks and clash marks. The surfaces are impaired as NGC suggests, but the existing detail and overall appearance is pleasing with splashes of blue and iridescent toning.(
Registry values: N2998)
1799 $1 7x6 Stars--Cleaned--ANACS.
VF Details, Net Fine 15. B-5, BB-157, R.2. Fine hairlines are visible over light gray surfaces, and a rim bruise is seen at 1 o'clock on the reverse. The design elements are pleasing for the moderate level of wear. A shallow cut is noted on Liberty's jawline.(
Registry values: N1793)
1799 $1 7x6 Stars XF40 PCGS. B-12, BB-160, R.3. Die State III. Star 1 is further away from the lowest hair curl than on the similar B-9, BB-166 obverse, and stars 11-13 are tightly bunched up. The reverse has no berries, and the U in UNITED is missing its upper left serif. In this advanced die state, a die crack extends both left and right from the 1 in the date, while a second crack joins the first 9 with the 7 and second 9. This is a pleasing, original powder-gray piece that has appeal suggestive of a slightly higher grade. Muted luster is still present under a glass, and the fields reveal some iridescent color. No adjustment marks are visible, and much pleasing detail appears on each side.(
Registry values: N1793)
1799 $1 7x6 Stars--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. B-16, BB-158, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State IV with numerous obverse die cracks. Retoned in deep navy-blue, plum-mauve, and cream-gray. Noticeable luster glints from the design, which retains much of its initial detail. The right obverse field has a hint of granularity, but abrasions are surprisingly absent.(
Registry values: N1793)
1799 $1 7x6 Stars--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details. B-7, BB-156, R.4. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. This Draped Bust dollar has substantial detail, and is retoned in attractive navy-blue, golden-brown, and ivory-gray shades. Luster is noticeable within the wings and other device elements. Hairlines are present but relatively unobtrusive.(
Registry values: N1793)
1799 $1 7x6 Stars AU55 NGC. B-12, BB-160, R.2. The 1799 Draped Bust Heraldic Eagle dollar enjoyed a series high mintage of 423,515 pieces and remains an available date today. Always in demand with type collectors, the present coin is well struck, with only slight touches of wear on the high points of the design. The surfaces are an attractive steel-blue, with subtle hints of green(
Registry values: N2998)
1799 $1 7x6 Stars AU55 NGC. B-9, BB-166, R.1. Bowers-Borckardt Die State V. Bolender-9 is sometimes called the "Apostrophe" variety, due to the vertical die break after the second S in STATES. A splendid Choice AU representative that boasts dusky lavender and gunmetal-gray toning. Shimmering luster threatens to roll across the open fields, and wear is limited to highpoints such as Liberty's cheek and shoulder. Uncommonly free from abrasions for a briefly circulated early dollar.(
Registry values: N2998)
1799 $1 8x5 Stars AU55 NGC. B-23, BB-159, R.2. There are 22 known varieties of the 1799 Draped Bust dollar, but only the BB-159 variety has the obverse stars arranged in an 8x5 pattern. This unique arrangement of obverse stars has attracted collector interest since the early days of the hobby, and examples of this die marriage typically command a considerable premium over other varieties of similar rarity. As far back as the sale of the Cohen Collection (Cogan, 10/1875) catalogers were noting this distinctive variety, and collectors responded with spirited bidding. Lot 529 of that famous sale reads, "1799 5 stars facing. Unusually good for this rare type." The lot sold to dealer John W. Haseltine for $4, compared to the $2 paid for the "Very beautiful impression" 7x6 stars coin offered in the previous lot. Most examples seen are in lower circulated grades, and the issue is rare at the AU55 level. Currently, NGC has graded four examples in AU55, with three finer; while PCGS has certified only three specimens in AU55, with two finer (4/10).
The present coin is a pleasing, well preserved specimen, with only a touch of wear on the high points of the design. The coin was sharply struck, and significant traces of mint luster cling to the surfaces. No mentionable distractions are noted.(

1800 $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Fine. B-4, BB-186, R.4. This circulated Heraldic Eagle dollar is cloudy from hairlines, and is retoned in lime-green, chestnut-brown, and stone-gray hues. Small reverse rim nicks are noted at 12:30 and 6:30.(
Registry values: N1793)
1800 $1 --Damaged--NGC Details. VF. B-12, BB-184, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State II. Two small roundish marks affect the R in LIBERTY, the reverse rim is nicked at 10 o'clock, and the surfaces are moderately glossy from cleaning. Toned honey-gold and stone-gray with traces of luster in design crevices.(
Registry values: N1793)
1800 $1 VF35 PCGS. B-8, BB-188, R.4. A scarce variety among 1800 silver dollars, with a surviving population estimated at about 125 to 135 coins, the same population as the 1794 silver dollar. This later die state piece has a crack from cloud 7 to the right wing, continuing through AMERI to the border over C. This piece is a pleasing, naturally toned example with medium brownish-gray surfaces and lighter ivory and gold toning.(
Registry values: N1793)
1800 $1 Wide Date, Low 8--Reverse Damage--NGC Details. XF. B-10, BB-190, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. A small X is scratched onto the reverse border between STATES and OF. The X is accompanied by other marks from an attempt at removal. Retoned in deep navy-blue and apricot-gold shades. The shield lines are fully separated on this collectible
Guide Book variety, obtainable only via Bolender-10.(

1800 $1 12 Arrows AU50 PCGS. B-17, BB-196, R.1. Bowers-Borckardt Die State IV, an advanced state with a die crack through star 6 to the hair ribbon, among others. A pleasing, lightly worn example of this variety, accessible but high in popularity thanks to its inclusion in the
Guide Book. Deep orange and violet overtones drape faintly glowing surfaces that are pewter-gray at the base.(
Registry values: P1)
1801 $1 VF35 PCGS. B-3, BB-213, R.3. A small dot to the left of the center dot identifies the obverse, while the reverse can be distinguished because the right foot of all of the T's is missing. Pale silver-gray patina is accented by russet toning around the perimeter. This evenly worn and nicely detailed specimen has only insignificant scattered abrasions. A charming, well-centered representative.(
Registry values: N1793)
1801 $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. B-4, BB-214, R.4. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III with a slender die crack at 12:30 on the reverse. Slightly glossy from cleaning, but the caramel-gold and ice-blue toning largely conceals the obverse hairlines. Remaining luster is substantial, and wear is limited to highpoints such as the breast feathers.(
Registry values: N2998)
1802/1 $1 Narrow Date--Improperly Cleaned, Scratched--NGC Details. Fine. B-4, BB-232, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State II. Retoned in rich blue-green and tobacco-brown colors. Beneath the toning, the surfaces appear slightly glossy, and the highpoints display parallel hairlines. Small marks are distributed, but no scratches stand out.(
Registry values: N1793)
1802 $1 Narrow Date Fine 12 PCGS. B-6, BB-241, R.1. A significantly worn but fundamentally pleasing example of this accessible variety. Faintly gold-gray centers show deeper charcoal colors close to the rims. A set of reed marks is noted on Liberty's jaw, and shallow pinscratches are present in the fields.(
Registry values: N1793)
1802 $1 Narrow Date XF45 PCGS. B-6, BB-241, R.1. A wider space between 8 and 0, a missing right foot in the T of LIBERTY, the first A in AMERICA touching the third feather and connected by a die crack to the fourth feather confirm the variety. Light gray surfaces display traces of luster in the recessed areas and are minimally marked. Strong definition is apparent on the design elements. A highly appealing Choice XF.(
Registry values: N1793)
1802 $1 Wide Date--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. XF. B-5, BB-242, R.5. The
Guide Book listing of 1802 Wide Normal Date refers only to the very scarce Bolender-5. This faintly hairlined example displays dappled walnut-brown, ocean-blue, apple-green, and lilac patina with an area of charcoal toning on the shield. Some luster remains, and there are no reportable abrasions.(

1803 $1 Large 3 VG8 NGC. B-6, BB-255, R.2. This circulated type coin features ivory devices and steel-gray fields. A majority of letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are partly visible. Noticeable marks are limited to an unimportant rim ding on the reverse at 7 o'clock.(
Registry values: P2)
1803 $1 Large 3 XF45 NGC. B-6, BB-255, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. Pockets of peach-tinged luster fill design recesses of this predominantly dove-gray early dollar. A few tiny marks on Liberty and the right obverse field fail to deny the imposing eye appeal. B-6 likely supplied the early 1804 delivery that led officials to strike 1804-dated novodels decades later.(

Gobrecht Dollars
1836 P$1 Name on Base, Judd-60 Original, Pollock-65, R.1--Damaged--ANACS. Fine 12 Details. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment I (the center of Liberty's head is opposite the DO in DOLLAR). This piece appears to lack the die clash mark above the eagle's wing, but it difficult to say with certainty because of the extensive wear. If so, this would be an unusual find as many of the 400 early December strikings have survived in relatively high grade as they were saved as mementoes. Not so with this coin. This is actually not the lowest grade we have seen for an 1836. We have handled several PR 4 coins--one of which brought $9000! The surfaces show heavy, extensive wear and there are several olive colored diagonal grease stains on the reverse that apparently are grease stains that were struck into the planchet at the time of manufacture. The damage is seen at the top of the reverse in the form of several zigzag scratches.
Seated Dollars
1842 $1 AU53 PCGS. CAC. Ivory surfaces host faint traces of gold toning on both sides of this highly lustrous AU silver dollar. A few minor abrasions on each side are typical of these large silver dollars.(
Registry values: N991)
1843 $1 MS60 PCGS. CAC. This pleasing Mint State piece is entirely brilliant with white-silver surfaces, save for a few splashes of darker color on the high points. Both sides are relatively mark free, with no obvious or distracting abrasions. Regardless of the date, full Mint State silver dollars from the 1840s are highly elusive. Population: 4 in 60, 35 finer (4/10).(

1844 $1 AU58 ANACS. Breen-5431. The so-called "Quad Stripes" (Bowers-Borckardt) variety, as apparently on all business strikes, also called the "armpit variety" by Breen. The shield stripes on the obverse are quadrupled from die-doubling, and an extra top loop of the 8 appears in the bottom folds of Liberty's gown. The reverse shows many die file lines under the eagle's left (facing) wing (and quite a few under the right wing), and in-between the shield stripes on the reverse. This piece is silver-white with a touch of amber-gold around the rims, and it retains essentially all of its original luster. The small mintage of 20,000 coins makes this an in-demand issue at the near-Mint State level.(

1844 $1 MS62 PCGS. Breen-5431. This quad-stripes dollar was coined from a doubled obverse die, as are all 1844 business strike dollars. The reverse has heavy die lines above and below the eagle's wings and behind the vertical shield stripes. The 1844 Seated dollar is a rare date in all grades, and an important condition rarity in Mint State grades. This example has frosty luster beneath violet, gold, and iridescent toning. Both sides have the usual tiny surface marks consistent with the grade. Population: 13 in 62, 11 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1845 $1 MS61 NGC. The 1845 is exceedingly rare in Mint State, and none have been certified higher than MS64. Soft ice-blue and gold -beige patina dominates both sides of this semiprooflike MS61 example, each of which displays lavender and orange accents. Well struck except for weak centrils in the right-border stars. Light handling marks limit the grade. Census: 7 in 61, 8 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1846 $1 AU55 NGC. Soft gold-orange and blue shadings layer over gray on this lightly circulated and still-lustrous Seated dollar. A dot of deeper color is noted to the left of Liberty's left (facing) hand.(

1846 $1 AU58 PCGS. Significantly mirrored beneath a thin layer of gold-gray patina. Just a touch of rub affects the high points of this attractive piece, better-defined and with fewer abrasions than most.(
Registry values: N991)
1846 $1 MS61 NGC. In circulated grades, the 1846 is one of the more frequently seen Seated dollars. However, Uncirculated pieces are predictably scarce, especially in higher grades. This MS61 example is one of the more available grades in mint condition. The fields on each side show the usual bright semiprooflikeness, which is apparent even through the medium density gray-golden toning. The striking details are just a bit short of complete, and there are a number of small to medium sized chatter marks in the fields that account for the grade. Census: 14 in 61, 55 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1846-O $1 XF45 PCGS. CAC. The first New Orleans Mint silver dollars were coined in 1846, with a mintage of 59,000 coins. Four years passed before the Louisiana coinage facility struck another silver dollar. This pleasing Choice XF example has natural deep gray and steel patina with hints of gold and violet toning. Light surface marks are typical of the grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1847 $1 AU58 NGC. Gold-gray toning accented in orange and peach prevails on this near-Mint Seated dollar. Dots of deeper color are present mostly at the margins. Abrasions are few.(
Registry values: N991)
1849 $1 MS61 NGC. Judging from the certified populations, it appears that most examples of this 62,000-coin mintage circulated to at least some extent, with other perhaps shipped to the Orient. This Mint State piece offers broader appeal than the grade might suggest, with the luster a bit muted by lovely patina in shades of pinkish-gold and ice-blue. The strike is adequate, and neither side reveals overt abrasions. Census: 16 in 61, 43 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1860-O $1 MS62 PCGS. From a reported mintage of 515,000 pieces, the 1860-O Seated Liberty dollar is one of the more available dates in the series, and a popular choice with type collectors. The present coin is sharply struck, and displays vibrant mint luster. A scattering of insignificant handling marks on both sides accounts for the grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1860-O $1 MS63 PCGS. Apparently a number of bags of this issue were disbursed during the Treasury silver dollar releases of the 1960s, although the estimated number varies considerably. This Select Mint State piece is finer than most certified, however, with radiant cartwheel luster over golden-gray surfaces. The strike is fairly sharp overall, but inexplicably blunt on the first A in AMERICA and oppositely at Liberty's sandal. A few scattered ticks account for the grade on this appealing coin. Population: 70 in 63, 28 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1862 $1 MS64 NGC. The Mint's effort at keeping gold and silver coins circulating during the Civil War was a fruitless effort. By midyear banks and even the U.S. Treasury had stopped paying out gold and silver coins at face value. The mintage of 1862 silver dollars was a token 11,500 coins. This attractive silver-gold near-Gem example has a strike that is close to full, with only minimal high-point abrasions, chiefly on the obverse, that account for the grade. As one would expect from a coin with such a low mintage, the fields are brightly reflective, even through the toning present on each side. Census: 24 in 64, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1863 $1 XF40 PCGS. A deeply toned example of this Civil War date with thick violet-gray patina overall and lighter hues at the rubbed high points. Minimally abraded but with a significant rim bump at 9 o'clock on the obverse.(
Registry values: N991)
1870-CC $1 AU55 PCGS. Variety 2-E. This lightly circulated example is sharply struck and well detailed. The 1870-CC is even more challenging than its low mintage of 11,758 pieces would suggest, primarily because of extensive circulation in the West and subsequent attrition. The smooth, lightly abraded surfaces display light hairlines, along with pleasing light olive-gold color. The most notable surface blemish is a scrape in the upper right obverse field, just to left of star 10. A tan toning spot resides on the lower reverse rim, above the E in ONE. Modest luster helps to provide a nice degree of eye appeal. Population: 36 in 55, 30 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1870-CC--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc Details. Variety 2-A. The first-year Carson City issue of any denomination. Fully struck with all devices boldly defined. The notation on the NCS label correctly refers to a lack of luster, especially considering the Uncirculated details. However, the signs of cleaning do not include excessive hairlines like many others with the same designation. Some of the lines observed on both sides are actually die polish lines and are not the result of the impairment. This pale-gray piece represents an attractive alternative for a collector seeking a well-defined example at a reasonable price.(
Registry values: N4719)
1871 $1 AU50 NGC. Light tan and slate toning visits this briefly circulated Motto type coin. Luster shimmers within the drapery, plumage, and legends. Marks are trivial save for a hair-thin vertical line on Liberty's neck.(

1873 $1 --Artificial Toning--NGC Details. Unc. Well struck with soft luster and no trace of wear. The blue and gold toning over each side seems to float across the surfaces rather than being bonded to the metal.(

Proof Seated Dollars
1858 $1 PR62 NGC. The 1858 is one of the keys to the Seated dollar series, not because of its low mintage but because it is a proof-only date. Estimates of the number struck varies widely. They range from 80 pieces to as many as 600+. The general consensus today seems to be that somewhere around 300 coins were struck, minus those that have been subsequently lost to attrition. The fields on this piece are deeply and brightly mirrored, and when held just so a slight bit of contrast can be seen against the mildly frosted devices. Each side is hairlined, explaining the grade, and light toning is evident on both obverse and reverse that darkens around the margins. The devices are all completely brought up on each side. Census: 8 in 62, 39 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1866 $1 Motto PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. CAC. Whenever we see an 1866-dated coin with the newly adopted Motto Reverse we are reminded of the phenomenal set of first-year type coins assembled 20+ years ago by Rep. Jimmy Hayes. Not only was his set remarkable in its completeness but it was especially noteworthy because of its uniformly high quality. This 1866 dollar is "Jimmy Hayes worthy."
It is curious that a coin with a mintage of 725 proofs is actually known in three different die pairings, as listed in Breen's 1977 proof
Encyclopedia and further detailed in Bowers' 1993 dollar reference. These three die pairings suggest as many striking periods spaced out through the calendar year. This piece was struck from the second die pairing that shows the date slanting up to the right, and on the reverse there is a distinctive spine that projects from the top of the third leaf.
For sheer visual appeal, this coin would be difficult to surpass or even duplicate. The fields show the depth of mirrored reflectivity one would expect of a proof striking. What is unexpected, and really quite extraordinary, is the thick mint frost that covers the devices on each side. This, of course, produces the sharp cameo contrast on each side. The surfaces are also remarkably problem-free and indicate decades of untampered preservation, most likely as part of a proof set. The Star and CAC designations speak volumes about the overall presentation of this remarkable first-year type coin. Census: 2 in 67
★ Cameo, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N7079)
1867 $1 PR63 PCGS. CAC. With a mintage of only 625 proofs, the 1867 typifies why With Motto Seated dollars are a challenge for type purposes. The devices are intricately detailed on each side, and the mirrored fields flash strongly beneath the pastel iridescence. The toning greatly subdues the light hairlines. Population: 72 in 63, 82 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1868 $1 PR64 NGC. The 1868 is occasionally available in near-Gem condition, but it seldom displays the level of eye appeal seen here. That is primarily because of the mint frost seen over the devices, almost enough to warrant a Cameo designation against the illimitable depth of reflectivity in the fields. Most of each side is brilliant but there is a thin ring of golden-brown and cobalt-blue at the margins. Slightly hairlined.(
Registry values: N2998)
1869 $1 PR61 PCGS. This sharply struck specimen has flashy fields and only a hint of golden toning near the rims. The right obverse field has faint chatter, and minor planchet granularity is noted near Liberty's left (facing) arm. A scant 600 proofs were struck. Encased in a first generation holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1870 $1 PR61 PCGS. Gunmetal-blue, plum-mauve, and apricot-gold toning consumes this precisely struck specimen. The obverse field displays hairlines expected for the grade. The proof 1870 is significantly scarcer than its mintage implies, since many sets went unsold and were melted by the Mint. Encapsulated in a green label holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1870 $1 PR63 PCGS. The reported proof mintage of 1,000 Seated Liberty dollars in 1870 was the largest since 1861, but the date is more difficult to locate than certain other dates, like the 1867, with lower mintages. The present coin displays reflective fields and sharply detailed devices, with shades of gray, blue, and green toning on the obverse, and an interesting streak of russet on the reverse. Population: 55 in 63, 75 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1871 $1 PR63 Cameo PCGS. Light honey toning is lightly draped across 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 it is most prominent on the figure of Liberty. Only 960 proofs were struck. Population: 12 in 63 Cameo, 10 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1872 $1 --Artificial Toning--NGC Details. Proof. An exciting display of electric blue, violet, and iridescent toning rests on the deeply mirrored surfaces of this undesignated cameo proof. Faint hairlines are evident beneath the toning.(

Trade Dollars
1873-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. Here is one of the major rarities in the Trade dollar series, an issue that is seldom seen in any Mint State grade. This Choice Mint State piece has natural light gray patina with splashes of iridescence on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and fully lustrous, and the eye appeal is grand. Population: 25 in 64, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1874-CC T$1 MS62 NGC. Tall CC. Period after FINE. In spite of the enormous mintage exceeding 1.37 million coins, most examples today are found in lightly to moderately circulated condition, often with chop marks from a trip to the Orient. The appealing surfaces are powder-gray with hints of color on both sides, more prominently on the reverse. A few abrasions, moderate in quantity but undistracting in severity, and a soft strike on the upper wing edges account for the grade. A coin with a lot of character despite some minor drawbacks. Census: 41 in 62, 49 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1875-S/CC T$1 MS63 PCGS. FS-501. Q. David Bowers calls the 1875-S/CC Trade dollar the most significant die variety in the Trade dollar series. The second C is plainly visible to the naked eye, to the right of the S. The overpunched mintmark was discovered in the early 1960s, by Texas numismatist Bob Medlar. The 1875-S/CC was originally thought to be a great rarity, but the issue has become more available over the years, and today it is only moderately scarce in lower grades. At the Choice level, the 1875-S/CC is still very rare, with PCGS reporting only seven examples in MS64 and six finer; NGC has certified three specimens in this grade, with four finer (4/10).
The present coin is a delightful specimen, with brilliant surfaces and vibrant mint luster. The striking details are sharp throughout, and overall visual appeal is outstanding.(

1876 T$1 MS65 PCGS. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse. Although the 1876 Trade dollar is known to be a widely saved issue, the supply of Gem examples from our nation's Centennial year is extremely limited. This lustrous, boldly struck specimen is toned in swirling violet and sea-green shades that scarcely dim the cartwheel luster beneath. The lower forearm has a few concealed small marks. Population: 20 in 65, 8 finer (4/10).

1877-S T$1 MS60 PCGS. Large S. Light copper-gold toning adorns the peripheries of this lustrous and sharply impressed Uncirculated type coin. The fields are lightly abraded for the grade, despite moderate marks near OF. Encased in a first generation holder.(
Registry values: N991)
1877-S T$1 MS62 NGC. Large S. Light silver to peach toning overall with flickers of deeper color at the margins and scattered dots of opaque gray and charcoal. Solid eye appeal for this highest-mintage Trade dollar issue.(

1877-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. Large S. This pleasing near-Gem has exemplary luster and only a wisp of golden toning. Marks are few and unimportant. The strike is intricate, even on Liberty's hair and the often-indistinct right (facing) claw of the eagle. An excellent value relative to higher grades.(
Registry values: N2998)
1878-S T$1 MS65 NGC. 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. Medium density gray and blue patina bathes each side of this MS65 example. Semiprooflike fields contrast against the well struck and frosted devices when the coin is tilted slightly under a light source. A few faint handling marks are undisturbing. Census: 23 in 65, 17 finer (4/10).(

Proof Trade Dollars
1873 T$1 PR62 PCGS. One of 865 specimens struck of this initial proof Trade dollar issue, strongly reflective with silver centers that give way to gold toning at the margins supplemented by deep peach across the upper obverse. Hairlines through the fields, most notably under Liberty's outstretched arm, account for the grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1874 T$1 PR62 PCGS. Period after FINE. A nicely struck specimen that has noticeable albeit undesignated cameo contrast. Orange-gold, ruby-red, navy-blue, and jade-green consume the reverse. Only 700 proofs were coined, and survivors are scarce.(
Registry values: N1793)
1875 T$1 PR62 PCGS. Type One Reverse. Peach-gold toning clings to the margins, while the glassy fields and lightly frosted devices are close to brilliant. Well struck aside from design-characteristic inexactness on the eagle's right (facing) claw. Just 700 proofs were issued.(
Registry values: N1793)
1875 T$1 PR62 Cameo PCGS. Type One Reverse. Earlier Trade dollar proof issues are unusual with strong contrast, largely due to improper cleaning and heavy toning. This specimen, lightly toned in cloud-white with gold accents, offers an attractive exception for the grade. Bold mirrors show hairlines that show up only at an angle but are nonetheless enough to preclude Select status. Population: 9 in 62 Cameo, 27 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1876 T$1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Proof. Type One Obverse. Type Two Reverse. A boldly impressed specimen with disturbed but still-strong fields. Each side has retoned in various shades of gold and blue. Appealing despite the cleaning and the hairlines left behind.(
Registry values: N1793)
1877 T$1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Proof. Although sharply detailed and deeply mirrored with peripheral sea-green and violet toning, this piece exhibits prominent cleaning lines on both sides. Several years in a brown paper envelope on a sunlit window sill would so wonders for this piece.(
Registry values: N1793)
1878 T$1 PR64 PCGS. First of the proof-only issues, a mere 900 1878 Trade dollars were struck in this year. This piece does not have a cameo indication on the insert, but the coin certainly has that appearance. The obverse has deep reddish patina, while the reverse is just slightly toned. Regardless of the intensity of color, the field-to-device contrast is evident. Close examination with a loupe reveals a few light hairlines, but at arm's length the coin appears even finer. Population: 69 in 64, 17 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1879 T$1 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 a PR60 specimen that has been lacquered and cleaned. Sharply impressed but with strong hairlines through fields that have blue-tint from an application of lacquer.
1879 T$1 PR62 PCGS. Only proof Trade dollars were struck in Philadelphia, beginning a five-year streak of official proof-only issues continued by two more enigmatic dates. This strongly mirrored example has light toning over the mirrors and considerable (though not Cameo-grade) contrast. Deep violet patina covers much of the rims, and contact marks are noted around Liberty's figure.(
Registry values: N1793)
1880 T$1 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces are the reason, or one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this piece is a proof with overly reflective, chromelike surfaces. The strike is sharp and both sides are untoned. Full cameo contrast is evident.
1880 T$1 PR63 PCGS. As the highest-mintage proof Trade dollar issue, the 1880 became an inevitable favorite among type collectors. This Select specimen is mildly contrasted through rich patina in pale cloud-gray with gold elements at the margins. Strong mirrors are lightly hairlined. While the central devices are solidly struck, the stars show softness.(
Registry values: N1793)
1880 T$1 PR65 Cameo NGC. This is a completely brilliant Gem proof example of this proof-only year in the Trade series. The striking details are well defined except for Liberty's hair and adjacent stars. Excellent cameo contrast and well preserved. The highest proof mintage of any date of the Trade dollar denomination (1,987 pieces).(
Registry values: N4719)
1881 T$1 PR64 PCGS. A highly collectible and sought-after date among the later, proof-only issues. The 1881 had a mintage of only 960 pieces. The remarkable aspect of this piece is how deep the proof mirrors are in spite of the depth of toning seen over each side. The surfaces are murky light gray with underlying multicolored iridescence, a color scheme that, seen here with the bright mirrors, is definitely attractive. The details are complete throughout and there are no obvious contact marks.(
Registry values: N2998)
1882 T$1 --Altered Surface--NGC Details. Proof. Butter gold toning deepens toward the borders of this sharply struck proof-only Trade dollar. A swirl of subtle lilac above Liberty's extended arm is perhaps the cause of the NGC designation. One small spot between the final two stars, and a few hairlines are noted on the field near DOLLAR.(

1883 T$1 PR62 PCGS. This proof-only specimen has reflective fields and consistent moderate frost on the eagle. Lightly toned golden-brown with hints of lavender and cobalt-blue near the rims. Minutely die doubled on UNITED and 420 GRAINS.(

1936 Six-Piece Proof Set NGC. The set includes: Satin Finish cent PR63 Red and Brown, rich reddish-violet, mahogany, and orange colors; Brilliant Finish cent PR64 Red, gleaming copper-orange with only a few flyspecks on the obverse and streaks on the reverse; nickel PR65, fantastic reflectivity with gold border toning around pale sky-blue centers; dime PR65, glimmers of gold in pale cloud-gray toning that covers much of each side; quarter PR64, dots of reddish-color over blue-tinged silver patina; and the half PR65, the top coin of the set, toned in green-gold and silver with great mirrors and exacting detail.
1939 Proof Set PR64 to PR65 NGC. In denomination order: cent PR64 Red and Brown, copper-orange at parts of the centers with deep reddish-mahogany and violet at the borders; nickel Reverse of 1939 PR64, rich green-gold color with ice-blue and violet accents; dime PR65, a gleaming Gem, minimally toned; quarter PR64, shining with a few splashes of milky toning; and the half PR65, a few splashes of green-gold against silver-white.

Mercury Dimes
1916 10C MS68 Full Bands NGC. This is an outstanding example of the first Philadelphia issue of the Mercury dime. Intense mint frost shimmers over both sides, and the impeccably preserved surfaces are snow-white and essentially pristine. Anyone searching for the highest quality in a 1916 dime should seriously consider the current offering. Census: 14 in 68 Full Bands, 0 finer (4/10).

1916-D 10C VF20 PCGS. The key-issue 1916-D is a difficult coin in the range above Fine and below AU, where many collectors seek but seldom find nice examples. This appealing piece fills the bill, with mottled powder-gray and orange alternating with silver and gold tinges on both sides. All of the lines in the fasces are complete or virtually so, except for the crossing diagonals. A thin contact mark or two on each side are scarcely worth mention.(
Registry values: N1793)
1916-D 10C --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. The 1916-D Mercury dime is the stuff of numismatic legend, and more than a few tall tales have been told about them around the proverbial numismatic campfires. But some of those tall tales are nonetheless true. One such is the account of the famed New York Subway Hoard, formed by collector and part-time dealer George Shaw of Brooklyn and his brother-in-law Morris Moscow, who worked for the New York Transit Authority from the 1940s to the 1960s. The hoard contained 45 complete sets of Barber dimes (less the 1894-S, of course) and 24 complete sets of Barber half dollars. Also included were 166 examples of the 1942/41 overdate--and 241 examples of the 1916-D dime, an astounding total for a key issue that today is so elusive.
This is a particularly well-defined example. In fact, it displays complete central band definition. The surfaces are bright from cleaning, and each side shows irregular mauve toning, but there are no noticeable abrasions on either side.(
Registry values: N2998)
1916-D 10C MS62 Full Bands PCGS. The 1916-D dime is one of those issues that continually generates collector excitement, irrespective of grade. Paul Green, in a July 26, 2005
Numismatic News article titled "1916-D Dime Still Maintains Strong Appeal," perhaps sums it up best: "Clearly, the years have done little or nothing to tarnish the reputation of the 1916-D. Demand for it seems to be consistent, with some who are not collecting Mercury dimes still wanting a 1916-D for their collection." This reputation and concomitant demand clearly manifest themselves in the coin's price, as it continues to climb in all grades.
The present MS62 Full Bands specimen displays lustrous surfaces tinged with whispers of golden-tan, especially in the border areas. The well-executed strike transcends the Full Bands designation to encompass all design elements, including sharpness on the hair and wing feathers, the diagonal bands, and the branches and leaves on either side of the fasces. A light toning streak appears above the middle bands. A sharp example for the grade, one that should elicit spirited bidding.(

1916-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. This is a popular grade for this most-popular Mercury dime, as Gem Full Bands examples are becoming increasingly pricey as the years roll by. But with lots of frosted luster over the mostly silver-gray surfaces, no apparent marks, and a uniformly bold strike, this piece would be a winner for many collectors, regardless of the date. All of the bands are well split--not merely the all-important central ones--and the broad appeal is increased even further by the double-punched mintmark, one of two such out of the four mintmark styles known for the issue. PCGS has certified 56 Full Bands coins finer; the finest are a couple of MS67 Full Bands coins (4/10).(

1916-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. November 1916 saw the Denver Mint's only delivery of Mercury dimes for the year, and the 264,000 pieces released then comprised what would become the costliest and most famous issue for the series. On the 24th of that month, at a joint meeting of the Mint Director and his superintendents, the Denver Mint was ordered to strike a large quantity of quarters to fill a Treasury Department request for the denomination, according to Lange's
The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes (2005). Denver then struck quarters to the exclusion of all other denominations, including the dime, for the rest of the year. The 1916-D dime became one of two famous key dates associated with the 1916 change from the Barber silver designs, the other being the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter.
Despite its small mintage, an appreciable fraction of the population survives in better grades. Lange sums up the causes and effects: "As the first year of issue, more of these coins were saved in Mint State than would have been the case with an existing design. Thus, the 1916-D Mercury Dime was spared from the otherwise certain fate of being uncollectably rare in this condition." Lest numismatists think of the 1916-D as anything but the elusive key it is in Mint State, Lange further notes that " ... the relatively small number of true coin collectors in the Midwest at that time kept the population of Mint State survivors low."
Full Bands pieces form a tiny minority of all survivors, and though they appear occasionally on the market, the offering of a Gem representative with Full Bands is an uncommon opportunity. This sharply struck MS65 representative displays wonderful, slightly satiny luster and excellent definition on the central devices. A small dot of slate patina appears at the bands of the fasces, while the remainder of the coin shows delicate silver-blue toning. This coin offers excellent preservation for the grade with remarkable eye appeal and is one of the most desirable examples to enter the numismatic marketplace in recent memory. The series enthusiast should give this Gem careful consideration. Population: 32 in 65 Full Bands, 24 finer (4/10).(

1918-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. Mottled golden-russet surrounds the rims on each side. The 1918-D is a scarce early Denver issue with such a strong strike. For those interested in striking details beyond Full Bands, softness is usually present on base of ONE near the rim. Population: 85 in 64 Full Bands, 21 finer (4/10).(

1918-S 10C MS66 PCGS. A brilliant and lustrous early branch mint dime. An above average strike with nearly full bands, although the tops of UNITED STATES show slight softness. Population: 10 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1918-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The 1918-D and 1918-S Mercury dimes are legendary strike rarities within the series, both apparently created by the respective mints' attempts to conserve die life by increasing the "set distance" between dies at the expense of sharp strikes. Despite the issue's reputation, this splendid silver-gray Gem shows a bold strike in all areas, with frosty luster prevailing. There are no singular marks on either side. Population: 24 in 65 Full Bands, 19 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1918-S 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. A blazing white coin that shows strong luster and a good strike throughout. The surfaces are close to perfection, and a strong loupe will find little fault. We do note a tiny tick near the back of Liberty's neck, above the 19 in the date for identification purposes, and a couple of minute dark specks in the field before Liberty's chin. Evidence of die clashing is noted between the BE of LIBERTY. One of the finer examples known of this date, with a small cluster seen this fine, and a scant two pieces graded finer by PCGS. None have been graded finer by NGC, and only 4 coins have merited this grade level from that service. For the specialist, this coin would make a welcome addition to an advanced collection. Population: 17 in 66, 2 finer (5/10).(

1919-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. The 1919-D is a seldom-seen issue in all but the most mediocre grades. In near-Gem Full Bands condition, it is very scarce. This piece has the fine-grain, mattelike texture so often seen on coins of all denominations from the teens. Slight toning is also noted over each side, but it is never heavy or oppressive, and certainly not capable of subduing the underlying satinlike luster. A few small, almost obscured marks are noted on close examination in the left obverse field. An original example of this rare, early issue, housed in an early PCGS holder. Population: 68 in 64 Full Bands, 17 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1919-D 10C MS65 Full Bands NGC. Despite a mintage of almost 10 million pieces, the 1919-D dime is elusive in the better grades of Mint State, particularly so with Full Bands. Unfortunately, peripheral weakness is common on this issue, even on those with Full Bands. The present Gem offering is a refreshing exception, for not only are the middle, diagonal, and upper and lower bands full, but so are the peripheral elements. All lettering near the rim is sharp, as are the date digits and mintmark. Untoned surfaces display bright luster and reveal only a couple of inoffensive grade-consistent marks. A light crack occurs at the L of LIBERTY and another on the lower left neck. Census: 6 in 65 Full Bands, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1919-S 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. This is undoubtedly one of the most attractive 1919-S dimes we have offered recently. Both sides are fully lustrous with satiny surfaces and a trace of light champagne color. The design details on both sides are sharply detailed, although the obverse die has been lapped and is completely missing Liberty's throat and the bridge of the nose. Population: 35 in 64 Full Bands, 23 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1920-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. This lustrous dime is well struck at the centers, while the margins display moderate incompleteness. Dappled golden-tan toning is most evident on the right obverse field. Prominent clashmarks near the profile have been partly lapped away, along with the bridge of Liberty's nose. Population: 42 in 65 Full Bands, 19 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1920-S 10C MS65 Full Bands NGC. More than 13 million pieces were struck of the 1920-S, but no more S-mint dimes were produced until 1923. By leaving these coins in circulation for two years rather than the usual one, attrition took a higher toll than usual. As a result high grade examples, and especially those with Full Bands, are difficult to locate today. The surfaces are softly frosted, as usual, and each side has a slight overlay of yellowish-golden patina. The only mark of note, and it is a slight one, is a luster scrape in the field below the first U in UNUM. Census: 16 in 65 Full Bands, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1921 10C 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 Uncirculated specimen that has been damaged. This low mintage dime is lustrous and displays original cream-gray toning. The central bands are nearly fully split. Only lightly abraded aside from a curved mark on the cheek, likely made by a mechanical coin counter.
From The Classic Collection.
1921 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. The 1921 and 1921-D are the anomalous low-mintage key coins that follow the large mintages of the 1920-PDS coins. In the case of the 1921, only 1.23 million coins were produced, but Gems are more available than such a low production might lead one to believe. This near-Gem Full Bands example boasts intense frosty luster over silver-gold surfaces. Minor weakness appears only on the last two digits of the date.(

1921-D 10C MS65 Full Bands NGC. Aqua, gold, and ruby freckles of color are scattered around the borders of this lustrous and fully struck Gem. Careful study beneath a loupe does not locate any mentionable abrasions. This low mintage branch mint issue has always been regarded as a semi-key to the Mercury dime series. Census: 37 in 65 Full Bands, 14 finer (4/10).(

1921-D 10C MS66 Full Bands NGC. The 1921 and 1921-D Mercury dime are popular semikey issues in the series, and yet paradoxically, a few nice pieces survive in Mint State. Those coins could possibly be the remnants of a small hoard or a couple of Brilliant Uncirculated rolls from a few decades past. This Premium Gem Full Bands coin sports silver-white surfaces that are nearly fully struck throughout, save for a couple of letter tops around the rim. The frosty luster adds to the appeal. Census: 12 in 66 Full Bands, 2 finer (4/10).(

1923-S 10C MS66 Full Bands NGC. After a two-year hiatus of dime production in the San Francisco Mint, there was a low production of 6.4 million pieces in 1923. Even among the few high grade pieces known, the central and diagonal bands are usually ill-defined. Not so on this piece, though. All three sets of bands are fully brought up. The bright, lustrous surfaces still show a considerable amount of brilliance, but each side has significant streaks of blue, rose, and golden. A terrific example of this scarce S-mint dime from the 1920s. Census: 1 in 66 Full Bands, 0 finer (4/10).(

1924-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Light straw-gold and dove-gray toning enriches this lustrous and pristine Gem. The centers, including the important central bands, are fully impressed, although the tops of BERT are incomplete due to the convex nature of the obverse die.(

1924-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Lush forest-green, rose-red, and dove-gray endow this sharply struck and highly lustrous Gem. The fields appear essentially immaculate. The date is lightly strike doubled.

1925 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. It appears that an original roll must have been broken up and certified as we have three 1925 dimes from the same consignor, two of which (this and the next MS66) have sequential PCGS numbers. This piece appears to have been an end coin in the roll as the obverse displays lovely lilac iridescent toning, while the reverse is brilliant. The softly frosted surfaces show only the tiniest marks over the fasces, and these are visible only with the aid of a loupe.(

1925 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. This and the other MS66 Full Bands coin above have sequential PCGS numbers, indicating a common source for each (probably an original roll). This piece is brilliant on each side and shows lovely mint frost. The only mark of note is L-shaped and located at the back of Liberty's jawline. Population: 50 in 66 Full Bands, 25 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1925 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. This piece appears to have originated from the same source (roll) as the two sequentially numbered MS66 Full Bands pieces above. However, those coins end in 16 and 17, and the end number for this piece is 43. The mint luster seems to actually glow on this example. Each side is mostly brilliant, but there also are pale horizontal streaks of golden-russet on the obverse. There are no reportable abrasions, and in short this is a simply spectacular type coin from the 1920s. Population: 22 in 67 Full Bands, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1925 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. This piece is nearly the finest quality obtainable, as PCGS has certified only three examples at the MS68 Full Bands grade level. The surfaces are frosty silver-white except for a couple of thin bands of golden toning on each side. The well-executed strike is a plus. Population: 22 in 67 Full Bands, 3 finer (4/10).(

1926-S 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. A well struck example of this challenging low mintage branch mint issue.

1927-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. The 1927-D Mercury dime is better-struck than many D-mint dime issues of the 1920s, but even so, flat strikes are often found on the issue. This near-Gem piece offers original silver-gray luster interspersed with areas of muted burnt orange. A few minor ticks account for the grade, but much eye appeal is present. Population: 44 in 64 Full Bands, 43 finer (4/10).(

1942/1-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. FS-101. This popular overdate variety went undetected for some 20 years after its manufacture, likely because its overdate feature is more subtle than its P-mint counterpart. Nonetheless, it is surprising that it went undiscovered for so long, as it is a fairly obvious overdate, as well as being a doubled die obverse variety. Mint State examples are quite rare, especially with the Full Bands designation. This near-Gem specimen offers reddish-gold surfaces with lots of vibrant luster. Abrasions are minimal. Population: 35 in 64 Full Bands, 28 finer (4/10).(

1942/1-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. FS-101. This is an exceptionally brilliant, frosty coin, mostly white with just bare hints of toning other than a dark spot near the E in ONE. The few marks that are visible (mostly under magnification) on the surfaces do not intrude on the eye appeal in the slightest. Fully struck, as is usual for the date, with clear band separation. The overdate feature on the 1942/1-D is not as clear as on its counterpart from Philadelphia, yet it, and the diagnostic doubled 4, are plain under a loupe. One has to wonder why it took so many years to discover this overdate feature. Population: 35 in 64 Full Bands, 28 finer (4/10).(

1945 10C MS65 Full Bands ICG. This premium quality 1945-P dime displays central crossbands that are fully split from end to end--an uncommon feature for an example of this generally hurriedly produced wartime issue. Thick, rich, frosty textured luster blankets both sides and is readily appreciably in the absence of all but the tiniest blemishes. In fact, both sides present as smooth with a lovely silver-white sheen. The key to the Mercury dime series at the Gem Full Bands level.(

1945 10C MS66 Full Bands NGC. Time has proved the 1945-PDS dimes to be collectibles unto themselves. There is the boldly clashed "Leaved" Variety, the Die Dot, the Doubled Die Obverse, High D, D Over Horizontal D, repunched D mintmarks, Trumpet Tail S, Knob Tail S, S Over S, and of course the Micro S. But the best known, rarest, and least understood is the 1945-P with Full Bands. With more than 159 million pieces struck, it should be a common coin with Full Bands. The fact is, it is the rarest of all Mercury dimes with fully struck band details. David Lange gives two possible explanations in his 2005
Complete Guide:
"There were only two variables in the minting equation: One was the collars, as these typically were machined onsite at each of the different mints. The second variable is the upsetting mill, which applied a raised rim to each planchet before it was sent to the coin press. Slight differences in the diameter of the collar or the curvature of the rims could result in detectable variations in the finished coins. An excellent example of this influence is found in the 1921(P) dimes, which almost invariably have full bands, yet typically are weak at their peripheries."
To underscore just how challenging the 1945 dime is with Full Bands, NGC has certified 2,123 coins of this issue in MS66, non-Full Bands. With Full Bands, a mere six pieces have been graded (4/10). The surfaces on this example show dazzling mint brilliance and are fully frosted. There are no mentionable marks, and of course, the central bands display a complete side-to-side split.(

1945-S 10C Micro S MS66 Full Bands PCGS. A crisply detailed example of the curious Micro S variety, carefully preserved with immense luster. Light green-gold overtones add color to generally silver surfaces. PCGS has graded only 18 finer Full Bands examples of the variety (4/10).(

1945-S 10C Micro S MS67 Full Bands NGC. The Micro S punch was created in 1907 for Philippines ten and twenty centavo pieces struck in San Francisco, and it was last used in 1919 before being taken out of storage for use on the 1945-S Micro S dime, its sole use on U.S. coinage. The popular variety was discovered only two years afterward, in 1947. This piece offers splendid, frosty silver-white surfaces on both sides with essentially no sign of contact.

The 1932-S Washington quarter has languished in the shadow of its more-elusive sibling, the 1932-D, for a long time, but the 1932-S in Gem condition is nonetheless a challenging issue.

1947 25C MS67 PCGS. Bold gold to orange toning takes on a blush of rose at the lower obverse border. This brightly lustrous Superb Gem is well-defined and immensely appealing. Population: 56 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(

1950-S/D 25C MS66 PCGS. CAC. FS-601. The upright and curve of the Denver undermintmark bookends the prominent S. Highly lustrous and essentially brilliant with virtually immaculate preservation. An outstanding Premium Gem of this popular
Guide Book variety. Population: 29 in 66, 4 finer (4/10).(

Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1916-D 50C MS64 PCGS Secure. Golden-russet patina clings to the borders and the eagle, although a majority of this first year near-Gem is cream-gray. The reverse is splendidly unabraded, while the obverse field displays only faint abrasions.(
Registry values: N991)
1916-D 50C MS64 NGC. Blue, violet, and cream-gray shadings are dappled at the borders of this near-Gem, while the centers are brighter and lustrous. Strong eye appeal for this first-year issue.(
Registry values: N991)
1916-S 50C MS63 PCGS. Softly detailed on the central devices but without a trace of wear. Silver-gray toning blankets most of each side, though the margins are toned gold and peach.(
Registry values: N1793)
1916-S 50C MS64 PCGS. The 1916-S has the lowest mintage of the three 1916 issues and it is the most softly struck. This piece displays above average striking details, but it is still far from complete with slight softness on all the central design elements. The luster, however, is superlative with swirling mint frost that is uninterrupted by any mentionable abrasions.(
Registry values: N1793)
1916-S 50C MS65 PCGS. CAC. This first-year San Francisco Walker issue's mintage barely topped half a million pieces, and while some coins were saved due to the design's novelty, Gem and better pieces are scarce. This MS65 example has strong central detail and frosty luster, silver-gray in the centers with gold-orange toning at the borders. Population: 85 in 65, 14 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1917-D 50C Reverse MS62 NGC. A well-defined example of the later Mintmark on Reverse variety with no trace of wear. Light golden color visits essentially silver surfaces. Minimally abraded for the grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1917-D 50C Reverse MS64 PCGS. CAC. The price curves of the 1917-D Obverse and Reverse issues cross as the higher Mint State grades are reached, with the Obverse costing more in low grades and the Reverse more in high. This indicates that more Mint State specimens with an obverse mintmark were saved. This piece show vibrant luster over silver-gold surfaces, and the strike is sharp on Liberty's head--an often-weak area on this issue--as well as her right hand. Good value, and high-end for the grade. PCGS has certified only 37 finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N2998)
1917-S 50C Obverse AU58 PCGS. The 1917-S Obverse is one of the scarcer early issues in the Walking Liberty series. Less than a million coins were produced, and very few were set aside in Uncirculated grades. This coin is oh so close. The surfaces are a bit subdued with a bit of high point brightness that indicates slight handling. Both sides are gray-brilliant with a tinge of golden. The strike is a bit soft on the central design elements, and there are only small abrasions scattered about this mostly still-lustrous example.(
Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 50C Reverse MS62 NGC. An original and lustrous early branch mint Walker that has almond-gold fields and ice-blue highpoints. Marks are refreshingly inconsequential. In 1917, the mintmark was moved to the reverse at 7:30, a position consistent with that of the then-contemporary Mercury dime and Indian gold coins.(
Registry values: N991)
1917-S 50C Reverse MS63 PCGS. Delicate olive-gold toning visits the borders of this otherwise pearl-gray Select half dollar. Early branch mint Walkers are known for their conditional scarcity, and the present sharply struck and unblemished example will please the fastidious collector.(
Registry values: N1793)
1917-S 50C Reverse MS64 PCGS. The time in which mintmarks appeared on the obverse of the Walking Liberty half was brief, and in 1917, just the second year of issue, the vast majority of 1917-S halves were made with the mintmark on the reverse, like this near-Gem. Gold-orange, lavender, and silver shadings cover most of each side, with the toning deepest at the upper reverse. Striking softness is visible through the centers. PCGS has graded 44 finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1918 50C MS64 PCGS. The strike is essentially full, and the lightly toned and minimally abraded surfaces are awash in luster. Despite its mintage and Philadelphia origin, the 1918 is scarce at the MS64 level. Housed in a green label holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1918 50C MS64 NGC. Small dots and dashes of deep red toning visit the margins of this near-Gem, lustrous with pale silver-gray centers. Better-defined than the norm and without individually significant abrasions.(
Registry values: N1793)
1918-S 50C MS63 PCGS. This conditionally scarce early S-mint example has medium caramel-gold toning and a good strike. The satiny surfaces are surprisingly unabraded. The highpoints display a whisper of gray patina.(
Registry values: N1793)
1918-S 50C MS63 PCGS. The rich dove-gray surfaces are overlaid by minute freckles of russet patina. This satiny World War Walker has a good strike and a mark-free reverse. The right obverse field has only unimportant contact.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1919 50C MS65 PCGS. Untoned and lustrous with attractively preserved surfaces. A good strike with only minor incompleteness on Liberty's head. The dies clashed and were subsequently polished, leaving raised die lines throughout the fields. Faint clashmarks are nonetheless evident beneath the eagle's beak and the TR in TRUST. Population: 52 in 65, 23 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1919-S 50C MS63 PCGS. The 1919-S is the second rarest coin in the 65-coin Walking Liberty series--second only to the 1921-S. This is in spite of the fact that the S-mint had the highest mintage of the three mints in this year. Fewer coins were set aside from San Francisco, and today any Uncirculated 1919-S is a coin worthy of consideration. This is an interesting and impressive coin, especially for the grade. The surfaces are mostly untoned in the centers and surrounded by patchy russet and pale iridescence at the margins. The strike is strong throughout with the often-encountered separation between the thumb and forefinger of Liberty. The bright mint luster is interrupted by a few small abrasions, few of which are noticeable without a loupe.(
Registry values: N2998)
1920-S 50C MS61 PCGS. True Mint State examples of the early branch Mint Walkers are elusive, and the 1920-S is certainly no exception. This piece has a typical strike with central obverse weakness, but it has full luster and good eye appeal for the grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1921 50C XF45 PCGS. CAC. As was also the case with the dime and quarter, the mintage of the half dollar dipped dramatically in 1921, due to a large-scale resumption of silver dollar coinage. Any 1921-dated Walker is desirable. This is a moderately circulated example with smooth pearl-gray surfaces and ample design detail.(
Registry values: N1793)
1921 50C --Environmental Damage--ANACS. MS60 Details. A lustrous and low mintage Walking Liberty half that has delicate straw-gold toning and only a single faint abrasion, above IN GOD WE TRUST. The eagle's neck and Liberty's chest display subtle pitting, although the fields are unaffected. Will please many collectors long in search of this challenging date.(
Registry values: N1793)
1927-S 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1927-S half dollar is an issue that occasionally surfaces at the near-Gem level, but Gems are rare and finer coins are all but unobtainable. This piece shows excellent luster over silver-white surfaces, with a typical strike on the branch hand and the eagle's lower leg feathers.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1928-S 50C MS64 PCGS Secure. Shades of violet, russet, and light blue grace the surfaces that are still mostly untoned silver-gray in the centers, with good luster and a typical strike that shows weakness on the branch hand and the eagle's lower feathers. The 1928-S is a difficult mintmarked issue, especially in the higher Mint State levels. PCGS has certified 61 examples finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1929-S 50C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Honey-gold toning visits the obverse of this lustrous and lower mintage near-Gem. The reverse is close to brilliant. Crisply struck save for the usual imprecision on the branch hand. Minor contact on Liberty's waist and the eagle's rock is of little import.(
Registry values: N991)
1933-S 50C MS64 PCGS. Dusky stone-gray and honey-gold toning blend throughout this coruscating scarce date Walker. A few faint marks on the right obverse field are all that limit the grade. The only issue of any denomination struck by the San Francisco Mint in 1933, the trough year of the Great Depression.
From The Classic Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1933-S 50C MS65 PCGS. The "last of the first," the 1933-S forms the final low-mintage issue from the early years of the Walking Liberty half dollar series. This a lovely grayish-gold Gem with cinnamon and charcoal accents at the peripheries and a bold strike, as usual for this well-produced issue. Note the split on the hand between thumb and forefinger, and the
actual presence of visible feathers on the eagle's lower legs. PCGS has certified only 83 pieces finer, less duplicates as always (5/10).
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N2998)
1934 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Splashes of honey-gold toning grace the margins of this thoroughly lustrous and boldly struck Superb Gem. Glimpses of deep russet adorn HALF DOLLAR. An essentially immaculate souvenir of the Great Depression. As of (5/10), PCGS has certified just seven pieces finer.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1934-S 50C MS64 PCGS. Gold, orange, and reddish-brown peripheral accents give way to a more silver-gray appearance at the centers. Well-defined overall but with softness on the lower edge of Liberty's branch hand.(
Registry values: N1793)
1935-S 50C MS65 PCGS. Dappled straw-gold patina invigorates this lovely Gem. Sharply struck despite its San Francisco origin, and the lustrous surfaces are smooth save for a solitary vertical graze on the right obverse field.(
Registry values: N1793)
1935-S 50C MS66 NGC. Green-gold overtones grace much of the outer fields, and additional dots of lavender and heather visit the lower reverse. The centers offer soft silver luster. Impressively preserved with a well-defined head of Liberty, though her branch hand is characteristically weak. Census: 50 in 66, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1936-S 50C MS66 NGC. CAC. Brilliant and lustrous with a fine strike aside from the usual blending on the branch hand. Virtually devoid of contact, and elusive as such although moderately abraded Uncirculated examples are relatively plentiful.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1938 50C MS67 NGC. Vibrant satiny mint luster and sharp striking details are the outstanding characteristics of this Superb Gem Walking Liberty half dollar. Only two coins have been certified in higher grades by NGC (4/10), making this specimen an appropriate choice for the finest Registry set.(
Registry values: N2998)
1938-D 50C MS65 PCGS. The famously low mintage 1938-D is pursued even in well circulated grades, but it provides better value in Mint State. This lustrous Gem representative displays light ice-blue and almond-gold toning. Crisply struck aside from the fingers of the branch hand, and encapsulated in an old green label holder.(
Registry values: N991)
1938-D 50C MS65 NGC. Silver-gray centers are softly struck, while the better-defined margins show dappled gold, orange, and crimson-brown colors. Minimally abraded with slight frostiness to the luster.(
Registry values: N991)
1939-S 50C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Silver-white surfaces gleam on this Superb Gem, better-defined than most on Liberty's head. Smooth fields give the coin great eye appeal. Neither NGC nor PCGS has certified an MS68 example (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1941-S 50C MS66 NGC. CAC. Bold silver-white luster is swirling and slightly frosty. A suggestion of pink color appears on the obverse when it is tilted to the light. The obverse shows a minor rim disturbance at 2 o'clock.(
Registry values: N2998)
1944-S 50C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Large S. Golden-brown and sea-green endow the obverse, while the reverse has only a hint of tan toning. Lustrous and unabraded with the usual incompleteness of strike on the branch hand and upper skirt lines.(
Registry values: N1793)
1945-S 50C MS67 NGC. Softly frosted luster is largely silver-white on this charming Superb Gem, a well struck short-setter with smooth surfaces. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically superior example (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
Proof Walking Liberty Half Dollars
1936 50C PR63 NGC. A satiny and lightly toned specimen that has a hint of cameo contrast. The low mintages of 1936 proofs can be explained by two factors. It was the first year for proofs in a generation, and in an era long before
Coin World and internet message boards, not all collectors were aware that proof production had resumed. Also, 1936 was the peak year for silver commemorative issues, with myriad types issued to diminish the Great Depression savings of collectors.(
Registry values: N1793)
1936 50C PR64 NGC. The first and low mintage date within the seven-year run of proof Walking Liberty halves, ended by the U.S. entry into World War II. Milky sun-gold and cream toning drapes this crisply struck and unabraded half dollar. The AW initials are visible, although faint from a lapped die.(
Registry values: N1793)
1936 50C PR66 NGC. CAC. The smooth, glassy surfaces are untoned. The fields boast powerful reflectivity, and the strike appears needle-sharp. Customary for proofs of the era, there is little contrast between the fields and devices. Examples graded finer are much more difficult to obtain.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N2998)
1936 50C PR66 PCGS. This first-year proof half dollar has gleaming silver-white surfaces with only a tiny mark or two that preclude an even finer grade. There is essentially no field-device contrast present, as usually seen on these proofs, but there are also no distractions, spots, or other difficulties. Always popular for type-set purposes.(
Registry values: N2998)
1937 50C PR65 NGC. A silver-white Gem specimen with a chromelike gleam. Strong eye appeal for this second-year Walking Liberty half with a mintage of fewer than 6,000 specimens.(
Registry values: N991)
1937 50C PR66 NGC. This precisely struck low mintage and high grade proof appears flawless aside from inconsequential planchet imperfections on the right obverse field. The sun's rays are attenuated due to a lapped die.(
Registry values: N1793)
1937 50C PR67 PCGS. Dappled golden-brown and aqua-blue embrace this intricately struck and satiny Superb Gem. Flawless aside from a few trivial hairlines above PLURIBUS and beneath the second S in STATES.

Franklin Half Dollars
1951-D 50C MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. This essentially immaculate Premium Gem has satin luster and an intricate strike. Peach-red, apple-green, and lemon-gold adorn the margins, while the portrait and fields are primarily ice-blue. Population: 68 in 66 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1952-S 50C MS65 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Luster rolls undiminished across the caramel-gold obverse and the dove-gray and olive-green reverse. Nicely struck and minimally abraded. Full bell lines are elusive on this issue, although collectible as such relative to the 1953-S.(
Registry values: N491)
1956 50C MS67 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Speckled iridescent toning rests on highly lustrous silver surfaces on this remarkable and highly attractive half dollar. The bold strike adds to its overall eye appeal. This piece is tied for the finest NGC or PCGS has graded. Population: 11 in 67 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1958-D 50C MS67 Full Bell Lines PCGS. CAC. One of the finest certified in Full Bell Lines of this difficult late-series issue. Marvelous iridescent mint set patina covers the obverse entirely and the reverse rim, with gold, mint, and jade prevailing. Contact is minor, although we note a single tick in Franklin's hair behind the ear and a couple of small ones on the lower bell. Population: 26 in 67 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
Proof Franklin Half Dollars
1951 50C PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. An uncommon Deep Cameo specimen of this early proof Franklin half issue, minimally toned with only minor milky toning near the final A in AMERICA and below E PLURIBUS UNUM. Outstanding field-to-device contrast and pleasing preservation that befits a Gem proof. Population: 8 in 65 Deep Cameo, 14 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1954 50C PR68 Cameo PCGS. There is not a single noticeable surface blemish on either side of this ice-white Superb Gem. The mint frost that overlays the devices is uncommonly thick for the issue, and the cameo contrast is noteworthy for a proof from this era. A find for the advanced Franklin half dollar collector. Population: 26 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).

1878 7/8TF $1 Weak MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-33. The "Doubled Legs" variety, which shows just a few feather tips below the main tailfeathers but also distinct extra thickness on the eagle's legs. Boldly contrasted with watery mirrors that gleam beneath a thin layer of gold-gray patina.(
Registry values: P5)
1878 7/8TF $1 Weak MS65 PCGS. VAM-33. "Doubled Legs," named for the extra thickness on the eagle's legs just above the talons. This is a well struck and shining Gem with a measure of frostiness across the central devices.(

1878-CC $1 MS65 NGC. Dappled golden-brown, cobalt-blue, cream-gray, and slate toning dominates the obverse of this lustrous Carson City Gem. The reverse is mostly brilliant, although the margin displays caramel-gold. Smooth save for subtle marks near the mouth.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878-CC $1 MS65 NGC. Booming luster and a hint of golden toning combine with a full strike and good eye appeal. This introductory year Carson City dollar is kept from a finer grade by only a few wispy obverse grazes.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878-CC $1 --60 Degrees Clockwise Rotated Dies--MS65 PCGS. A Gem Carson City dollar is a numismatic prize, even when encountered with usual coin turn. The present example, however, has a reverse rotated more than 60 degrees clockwise, relative to the obverse, an uncommon event regardless of the facility of origin. This is a highly lustrous piece with a sharp strike, smooth fields, and peripheral butter-gold toning.
Ex: Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 3/2006), lot 1503, which realized $1,955.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1878-CC $1 MS66 NGC. The initial CC-mint Morgan dollar issue, offered here as a Premium Gem that doubtless owes its existence to Treasury holdings. Light patina over silver surfaces takes on elements of gold or rose, depending on the angle. Well-defined with distinctly frosted devices and amazing eye appeal. NGC has graded just nine numerically finer representatives (4/10).(
Registry values: P4, N2998)
1878-S $1 MS66+ PCGS Secure. Dazzling luster sweeps this gorgeously preserved and intricately struck Premium Gem. The obverse is golden-brown with ruby-red and aquamarine about the periphery. The reverse is lightly toned in autumn-gold shades that deepen to freckles near the rim.(
Registry values: P2, N991)
1878-S $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Large quantities of 1878-S Morgan dollars were released by the Treasury Department in the 1950s and in the 1962-1964 years. Higher-grade DMPLs such as the present Gem are encountered infrequently. The untoned surfaces exhibit sharply struck devices that yield strong contrast with the deeply mirrored fields. The few trivial marks scattered about do not detract. Population: 16 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2, N1793)
1879-CC $1 AU55 PCGS. A lustrous and highly attractive Choice AU 1879-CC Morgan dollar with nearly full luster and faint champagne toning. This is an extremely rare issue in Choice AU grade, as nearly all have much more wear, or none at all. This piece will appeal to a wide audience.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: P7, N991)
1879-CC $1 MS61 PCGS. This is a sharply struck example of the highly desirable Normal Mintmark variety with brilliant silver surfaces and no evidence of toning on either side. While the obverse is extensively abraded, establishing the overall numerical grade of this piece, the reverse is much finer, and if graded by itself would merit at least MS63 or perhaps MS64.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1879-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. This "Perfect Mintmark" example is untoned and shows the usually expected thick mint frost over each side. The striking details are complete, a result of the precise positioning of the dies in the Carson City Mint. This precision caused the dies to wear faster, but quality of the coins in most years is superior to the other mints. A few light abrasions are scattered over each side, which explain the grade.(
Registry values: P7, N2998)
1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. The so-called Perfect Mintmark variant, which years ago was worth a premium over the Capped Mintmark. The high quality of Carson City silver is abundantly evident on this piece. The surfaces show thick mint frost, a feature that tends to counterbalance the small abrasions that account for the technical grade. The strike is well, but not fully brought up, and each side is completely brilliant.(
Registry values: P7, N2998)
1879-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. This stunning Choice Mint State 1879-CC Morgan dollar exhibits deep gold, green, and iridescent toning on the obverse, with lighter gold toning on the reverse. Both sides have vibrant mint luster with frosty surfaces. A few hidden abrasions on the obverse prevent a Gem grade.(

1879-CC $1 Capped Die MS61 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. This frosty Mint State piece has brilliant silver luster with untoned surfaces and exceptional eye appeal.

1879-O $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Glimpses of gold-to-orange toning grace the margins of this shining Gem, while the cartwheel luster of the centers remains resolutely silver-white.

1880 $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Ex: PCGS Tour. A flashy and fantastic Philadelphia Gem with bold field-to-device contrast. Light whispers of gray patina grace gleaming silver mirrors.

1880 $1 8 Over 7 MS64 PCGS Secure. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. The "spikes" of a 7 show above the top of the loop of the second 8 in the date. The crossbar of the 7 is also seen within the upper loop of the 8. From a huge mintage of 12.6 million pieces, the 1880 Morgan dollar is an available date in all grades, but the issue is R.6 as VAM-6. The present coin is an attractive Choice specimen, with strong mint luster and minimal handling marks for the grade. The brilliant centers yield to a concentric ring of gold and green toning at the rims. The striking details are sharp, except for some typical softness on the hair above Liberty's ear.(

Registry values: P6, N1793)
1880/79-O $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. An R.4 variety, with the 80 in the date punched over a 79. The strike shows slight softness on the hair above the ear, but details are sharp otherwise. The brilliant surfaces display strong mint luster.(

Registry values: P1, N991)

The blazing-white surfaces are completely untoned and exhibit dazzling cartwheel effects in the semireflective fields. The design elements are fully struck, and both sides of the piece are essentially pristine. A common date that becomes uncommon at this lofty grade level.(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1880-S $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Medium S. Most observers would regard the present flashy Morgan dollar as brilliant, but we note a hint of gold toning on the obverse. Well struck and impressively unabraded.(
Registry values: P1, N991)
1881-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Light sun-gold toning enriches lustrous and fully struck surfaces. The reverse is close to pristine, and the obverse displays only faint grazes. A lower mintage Carson City date.(

Registry values: P4, N1793)
1881-CC $1 MS65 Prooflike NGC. VAM-2. The date displays obvious repunching. Dazzling field reflectivity ensures the eye appeal of this brilliant Carson City dollar. The obverse field is clean, and the cheek and reverse field display only moderate contact.(
Registry values: P4, N991)
1881-CC $1 MS65 Deep Prooflike NGC. Deeply mirrored fields accentuate the sharply struck, mildly frosted devices. Untoned surfaces reveal a few light to moderate abrasions over each side. Census: 58 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 11 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P4, N991)

Registry values: P4, N991)
1881-O $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. This 1881-O dollar has deeply mirrored fields that provide a wonderful frame for the frosty, lustrous devices. Both sides are fully brilliant with no evidence of toning. The 1881-O dollars are seldom found with such amazing contrast in any numerical grade, and they are especially rare in Gem. In fact, MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike is the top grade for this date, with a total of just 14 pieces certified by NGC and PCGS combined. Here is a wonderful opportunity for the aficionado. Population: 10 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P4, N4719)
1881-S $1 MS67 NGC. CAC. Peach-gold, fire-red, navy-blue, and jade-green compete for territory across the obverse, while the reverse displays autumn-gold toning throughout the border. Fully struck and highly lustrous with exemplary preservation.(

1881-S $1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. A sensational Superb Gem that retains fully silver brilliance and reflective, mirrored surfaces on both sides. The strike is bold and the eye appeal is grand.(
Registry values: P1, N991)
1881-S $1 MS68 NGC. The 1879-S, 1880-S, and 1881-S Morgan dollars represent the pinnacle of the coiner's art for the series, superbly struck coins with superlative luster and impeccable eye appeal. This is one such coin, with frosty silver-white surfaces that are free of any mentionable abrasions. The strike is full throughout, as one would expect from this popular issue. NGC has certified none finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1881-S $1 MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. A stunning selection from the PCGS Tour with absolutely incredible luster. Sharply struck with a radiance that shines through rich patina, green-gold to yellow on much of each side with deepening to peach and blue at the rims. A type coin that is anything but ordinary. Population: 87 in 68, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1881-S $1 MS68 PCGS. Get out the magnifier--that's what it's going to take to find any abrasions on this immaculate coin. The surfaces are brilliant throughout, Liberty's cheek is smooth and creamy, and the devices are fully struck. This is the ultimate Morgan type coin. Population: 87 in 68, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1881-S $1 MS68 PCGS. The 1881-S Morgan dollar is one of the best-produced issues in the entire series. There are thousands of high grade examples and, indeed, there are more than 4,000 pieces graded in MS67 by NGC and PCGS combined. At MS68, however, the numbers are much smaller, and the two major services have seen fewer than 250 such coins, including any possible resubmissions. This marvelous specimen has a lovely, frosty sheen across snow-white surfaces. The design elements are fully struck. A couple of tiny nicks, just behind Liberty's head, are the only evidence of imperfection on either side of this remarkable representative. Population: 87 in 68, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1882-CC $1 MS66 PCGS. VAM-2B. Faint golden toning visits this lustrous Carson City Premium Gem. The strike is assertive, and neither side has any obvious marks. Expensive to procure any finer.(
Registry values: P3, N1793)
1882-CC $1 MS66 NGC. Well struck with bold cartwheel luster on each side. The obverse of this Premium Gem is generally gold-orange with peach and violet elements to the left, while the reverse is near-brilliant.(
Registry values: P3, N1793)
1882-CC $1 MS66 Prooflike NGC. Flashy fields offer moderate to high reflectivity as well as silvery cartwheels. Thickly frosted devices are better-defined than usually seen, and the contrast is amazing. Census: 33 in 66 Prooflike, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P3, N1793)
1882-CC $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. This brilliant Carson City Gem has reflective fields and frosty devices. Sharply struck and pleasing with a splendidly preserved reverse. Census: 91 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P3, N991)
1882-CC $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The surfaces are generally untoned with just a bit of golden color over the portrait of Liberty. The razor sharp design elements stand out in sharp contrast to the placid, glassy fields. Out of the many thousands of 1882-CC dollars submitted to PCGS, only a few dozen pieces merit an MS66 DMPL rating. Population: 61 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P3, N2998)
1882-O $1 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. Spectacular mirrored fields and sharply defined devices make this Gem 1882-O Morgan dollar memorable. The 1882-O is not a rare date, but examples with a good strike and prooflike surfaces are quite scarce. Population: 34 in 65 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P3, N1793)
1882-O/S $1 MS63 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety.
The "Recessed" overmintmark with the diagonal stroke of the S below the level of the O. A lustrous and lightly gray-toned Select example of this popular variety, known for the fine die rust over the reverse devices almost as much as its overmintmark.(
Registry values: P5, N1793)
1882-O/S $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. The "Recessed" O/S VAM. Delicate walnut-tan toning graces this lustrous and well impressed overmintmarked silver dollar. Marks are minimal for the designated third party grade. Struck from rusted dies. As of (4/10), PCGS has certified only two examples in higher grades.(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1882-O/S $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. The recessed O over S variety is one of three overmintmark varieties known for this issue. There must have been an emergency order for reverse dies from New Orleans. If the Philadelphia Mint had already marked the dies for San Francisco, they would have overpunched the mintmark with an O and sent them to Louisiana. This satiny Mint State example has pale champagne toning over lustrous silver surfaces. PCGS has only certified two finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1882-S $1 MS67 PCGS Secure. CAC. This brilliant and thoroughly lustrous high grade Morgan type coin has an exemplary strike and a remarkably unabraded obverse. Infrequent and unobtrusive marks on the reverse are all that prevent an even higher third party assessment.(
Registry values: P1, N991)
1882-S $1 MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. This example, housed in a green label holder, remains tied for finest certified by PCGS (4/10). Both sides are boldly impressed through the centers and beautifully lustrous. A glimpse of golden toning graces the upper obverse, while the rest of the coin shows minimal patina.(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
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 a full strike. The untoned surfaces are immaculately preserved. Census: 81 in 68, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1883 $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. This essentially stone-white Gem has a pleasing strike and nicely reflective fields. Cameo contrast is apparent, especially on the reverse. Infrequent minor field marks are of little import. Population: 72 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 8 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2, N991)
1883-CC $1 MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. VAM-5A, R.5. Clashed n in front of Liberty's neck. Such clash marks have become highly popular in recent years. This lustrous high-grade CC-mint dollar is mostly brilliant, but each side has a generous blush of orange-gold, ocean-blue, and ruby-red toning.(
Registry values: P2, N991)
1883-S $1 MS63 PCGS. Crisply detailed with lively cartwheel luster. Minimally toned with small, scattered abrasions which account for the grade. Solid eye appeal for the Select designation.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1884-CC $1 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Bold cartwheel luster shines in moderately reflective fields, while the devices are distinctly if not thickly frosted. A few spots of milky patina visit each side. PCGS has certified 59 coins finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2, N991)
1884-O $1 MS67 PCGS. This is a brilliant Superb Gem that is essentially devoid of mentionable distractions. Each side displays incredible, nearly defect-free, silver-white surfaces. Generally New Orleans dollars are not well struck, but the 1884-O, and in particular this coin, are the exception to the rule. Population: 54 in 67, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1885 $1 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Distinctly reflective but also strongly cartwheeled, this Premium Gem also has the added distinction of rich patina. The obverse's green-gold peripheral toning frames a strongly contrasted center, while the reverse has similar, lighter outer colors around a denim-blue and peach core. Population: 40 in 66 Prooflike, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1, N491)
1885-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. Faint sun-gold patina visits this coruscating and attentively struck low mintage Carson City dollar. The reverse field is unusually void of contact, and the obverse has only distributed wispy grazes.(
Registry values: P4, N991)
1885-CC $1 MS66 NGC. The shining obverse is richly toned in a progression from light green-gold at the upper right through gold-orange and peach, ending in a narrow crescent of blue-violet at the lower left. The reverse has faint echoes of color at the rim but is otherwise pale silver-gray.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1885-CC $1 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. Thick frost blankets the silver devices on this Premium Gem, while the fields offer a bold mix of reflectivity and cartwheels. Decidedly Prooflike with only a few whispers of cloud-white patina across broad and shining surfaces. PCGS has certified only one finer Prooflike representative (4/10).(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1885-CC $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The story of the 1885-CC is a small mintage but large survival, due to preservation of massive amounts in the Treasury hoards. But its story continues as a much in-demand CC-mint issue, and one that is gloriously well produced, making it equally a target of type and date collectors. This Premium Gem piece sports the excellent preservation and deep contrast expected. The paucity of abrasions and high eye appeal add to the allure. Population: 39 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P4, N2998)
1886 $1 MS67 NGC. Attractive russet-brown and ocean-blue adorn the peripheries of this lustrous and boldly struck available date Superb Gem. Outstanding preservation proclaims the exemplary quality.(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1886-O $1 MS62 NGC. Bright luster is largely silver with just a suggestion of peach-pink in the obverse fields. Softly struck at the hair over Liberty's ear with small marks and wispy abrasions precluding Select status.(
Registry values: P8, N991)
1886-S $1 MS65 NGC. Well-defined overall, though a patch of roller marks is visible on the cheek. This has no bearing on the technical grade, though the impressive preservation of the watery silver fields has a great influence.(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1886-S $1 MS66 PCGS Secure. A small mintage of 750,000 Morgan dollars was accomplished at the San Francisco Mint in 1886. Most of this mintage was stored in mint vaults and gradually paid out over the years until the supply was nearly exhausted in the 1950s. The present coin features strongly impressed devices and vibrant mint luster. The fields are brilliant on the obverse, with traces of iridescent blue and green on the reverse. Population: 27 in 66, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1887-O $1 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Better-defined than most Prooflikes in the centers, though incompleteness is still present on the faintly frosted high points. Green-gold peripheral toning yields to pale silver-blue patina that drapes the gleaming centers. A carefully preserved Prooflike Gem that offers incredible eye appeal. Population: 15 in 65 Prooflike, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1887-O $1 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Nicely frosted on the modestly abraded central devices. The flashy fields are minimally toned, save for slender arcs of orange-red across portions of the peripheries. Population: 85 in 64 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 7 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N1793)
1887-O $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. The 1887-O, while not a common issue, is nonetheless considered accessible even with Prooflike surfaces. Deep Mirror Prooflike coins are another matter, particularly with the impressive surface quality displayed by this Gem. Scattered marks are generally isolated and minor, though a small cluster of abrasions is noted to the right of the eagle. Minor gold-orange peripheral toning gives way to silver mirrors and white frost on the devices. While the strike on the hair over Liberty's ear is incomplete, the level of detail is far superior to the norm. Population: 6 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N4719)
1887/6-O $1 MS64 PCGS Secure. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. This lovely near-Gem has attractive toning on both sides, with a combination of gold, violet, and blue over frosty silver luster. The strike is typical with central weakness evident over Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast. Population: 97 in 64, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P6, N4719)
1887-S $1 MS65 PCGS. A virtually stone-white Gem with blazing cartwheel luster and a pleasing strike. The fields are beautifully devoid of contact, and the portrait displays only faint grazes. The 1887-S is a common sight in circulated grades, but Uncirculated examples are somewhat scarce and generally encountered in MS62 through MS64.(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1887-S $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. Distinguished by a repunched mintmark. Outstanding mint luster and a razor-sharp strike are the most evident characteristics of this attractive Gem Morgan dollar. The 1887-S is slightly scarce in the context of the series and the issue is R.4 as VAM-2.(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1888-O $1 MS63 ANACS. VAM-1B2. An early die state of the eventual "Scarface" variety, with the characteristic die break extending into the field past the period in E. PLURIBUS, but not yet reaching Liberty's face.
1889-CC $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. XF. Considerable luster is still visible with accompanying pale gold and tan patina over lighter silver surfaces. Each side has trivial abrasions and hairlines, but none of any significance.(
Registry values: P9, N1793)
1889-CC $1 XF45 PCGS. Rich sun-gold and green-gold toning covers most of this Choice XF Carson City coin, lustrous in the fields despite the light wear that crosses the high points. Dots of deeper color are found along the rims, most visibly at the upper obverse and near the mintmarks and wingtips on the reverse.(
Registry values: P9, N1793)
1889-CC $1 XF45 PCGS. CAC. The Carson City Mint had been closed more than four years when coinage resumed in late 1889. The local economy apparently absorbed the issue, since the typical survivor is a cleaned VF. Examples exist in Mint State, but those are few relative to other CC-mint Morgan issues. The present pearl-gray and chestnut-gold Choice XF dollar displays ample remaining luster and has problem-free surfaces.(
Registry values: P9, N1793)
1889-CC $1 XF45 NGC. This Choice XF key Morgan dollar issue offers lightly golden-toned surfaces that retain much of their original luster. The reverse shows some light charcoal-gray near the rim above UNITED, and an interesting die crack encircles the margin through U, a star, and the denomination. There are few abrasions for the grade on this nice specimen.(
Registry values: P9, N1793)
1889-CC $1 AU58 NGC. This is a lovely near-Mint State example of what is by far the most in-demand Morgan dollar key issue from the Carson City Mint. Nearly all of the original mint luster remains, on surfaces that are silver-white with glimmers of cinnamon color around the devices. The bold strike complements a relative paucity of abrasions. This piece would fit quite nicely into a mostly Uncirculated set.(
Registry values: P9, N2998)
1889-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. Ex: Shrike Set. The 1889-CC Morgan dollar boasts a small mintage of 350,000 pieces and is considered the least available coin of the series from the Carson City Mint. Always in demand from series enthusiasts and Carson City specialists, this issue never fails to inspire intense competition whenever one is offered. The present specimen features sharp striking details and vibrant mint luster. The surfaces are brilliant and untoned. A scattering of minor contact marks on Liberty's cheek and in the obverse field accounts for the grade. Overall excellent visual appeal.(
Registry values: P9, N4719)
1889-O $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Nicely struck and nearly brilliant with booming luster and an exemplary reverse. The cheek has a few faint grazes. A better O-mint issue.(
Registry values: P6, N991)
1889-O $1 Doubled Date MS64 PCGS. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. Strong repunching on three of the four digits in the date makes this one of the "most dramatic" examples of the error, according to Oxman-Fey. This near-Gem has strong silver luster with small scrapes on both obverse and reverse.
1889-O $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. A notable New Orleans Deep Mirror Prooflike that was seen by thousands as part of a traveling exhibition put on by PCGS, the firm that certified the coin. Unlike several later New Orleans dates, the 1889-O is found Prooflike with some frequency, though Deep Mirror Prooflikes such as this Gem are far more elusive. This strongly contrasted example has elements of green-gold and blue toning at the borders, while the centers show only light gray patina or none at all. Frosted devices are well struck overall but typically soft at the hair over Liberty's ear.(
Registry values: P6, N4719)
1889-S $1 MS65 PCGS. Copper-gold and gunmetal-gray alternate across this lustrous and well struck scarcer date Gem. Unabraded save for unobtrusive ticks on the cheek.(
Registry values: P6, N1793)
1889-S $1 MS65 NGC. Here is a remarkable Gem 1889-S dollar with faint gold and iridescent toning over frosty and fully lustrous silver surfaces. Slightly weak over the ear, but all other design elements are bold. NGC has only graded 27 finer pieces.(
Registry values: P6, N1793)
1890 $1 MS65 NGC. Solidly struck on the reverse with only minor softness on the central obverse. Effusive luster lights up the surfaces of this Gem, richly toned in gold, orange, green, and blue hues.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1890 $1 MS65 NGC. Fully patinated in rich olive-green, cream-gray, ruby-red, and apricot toning. Cartwheel luster rolls over the toning, and the strike is good with only unimportant incompleteness at the centers. In a prior generation holder.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1890-S $1 MS66 PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Lavender and golden-brown embrace the margins and visit the centers. This sharply struck Premium Gem has exemplary luster and an essentially pristine reverse. The obverse field is also nearly immaculate, and even Liberty's cheek has only trivial grazes. As of (4/10), PCGS has certified just six pieces in higher grades.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1890-S $1 MS66 NGC. Magnificently toned with a sun-gold obverse and an orange-gold, blue-green, and ruby-red reverse. This well struck Premium Gem appears unabraded save for minor contact on the cheekbone and a thin mark above the leaves of the olive branch. Census: 45 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1891 $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Boldly lustrous and frosty with light gray toning overall, though peripheral gold and peach elements are also present near the rims. This well struck example shows no abrasions warranting individual mention. PCGS has certified only three finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1891-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. Sharply struck with light gray to cream toning across impressively lustrous surfaces. The devices show suggestions of frost as well as a handful of grazes. An appealing example of the popular and familiar "Spitting Eagle" variety.(
Registry values: P6, N991)
1891-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. The familiar "Spitting Eagle" VAM, named for the well-placed die lump beneath the beak. Light almond-gold toning visits this lustrous Carson City dollar. The fields are smooth, while the cheek displays wispy grazes.(
Registry values: P6, N991)
1891-CC $1 MS64 NGC. Dappled orange-gold patina outlines much of the borders and rims, along with occasional hints of cobalt-blue. However, this lustrous and attractively preserved Carson City near-Gem is predominantly untoned. Housed in a former generation holder.(
Registry values: P6, N991)
1891-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. A few brown toning spots on the reverse are the only distractions on this otherwise brilliant and frosty Choice Mint State piece. Both sides have sharp design features.(
Registry values: P6, N991)
1891-O $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. This beautifully preserved, highly lustrous, and essentially brilliant New Orleans Morgan dollar is held back from Gem classification only by the central incompleteness of strike customary for the '91-O.(
Registry values: P7, N991)
1891-O $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. One of the jaw-droppers of the touring set, this 1891-O Morgan dollar remains one of only two MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike examples known to PCGS, with none finer (4/10). Q. David Bowers offers several interesting comments about the 1891-O issue, including this take on prooflike pieces: "Quite a few prooflike and partially prooflike coins exist, many of which are well struck (an exception to the general rule for 1891-O). DMPL coins exist, some well struck, others not."
The Bowers quote highlights two key aspects of the challenge posed by 1891-O Morgan dollars: strikes are often poor, and while Bowers is correct that Deep Mirror Prooflike examples "exist," they are far from numerous, with only a few dozen such pieces certified--certainly not enough to meet demand. Add in the complication of condition rarity, and it is little wonder that Gem examples with Deep Mirror Prooflike surfaces should be so elusive.
This piece has light layers of gold-gray toning over the potent mirrors. Mild frost graces devices that are well but not fully struck; heavy frost is not the norm for this New Orleans issue, regardless of the condition of the dies. A few small marks visit the obverse, and the only abrasion warranting individual mention is on the reverse, where it seems to form an underline to the E in STATES.
A further Bowers observation regarding this issue, clearly expressing his disapproval after giving collecting advice: "In any event, just buy one--don't even think of buying a duplicate!" The winning bidder of this stunning coin will never want to entertain the thought.(
Registry values: P7, N7079)
1891-S $1 MS66 Prooflike NGC. Here is an incredible 1891-S dollar with full prooflike surfaces, displaying lustrous devices and mirrored fields on both sides. The current NGC Census Report shows 472 examples of the 1891-S dollar certified as either Prooflike or Deep Prooflike, but the highest grade of any is just MS65 (4/10). Undoubtedly an extremely important condition rarity.(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1892 $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Impressively high-end for a near-Gem with bright, frosted silver luster that shows only light layers of patina. Well struck with few significant marks and impressive eye appeal.(
Registry values: P6, N991)
1892-CC $1 MS62 NGC. A boldly struck and untoned scarce date CC-mint dollar that has a minimally marked reverse and only wispy grazes on the left obverse. Delightful cartwheel luster confirms the eye appeal.
Ex: Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 7/2009), lot 1962, which realized $1,495.(
Registry values: P7, N991)
1892-CC $1 MS63 NGC. VAM-10A, R.6. The obverse of this interesting VAM has a misplaced date digit in the dentils between the 92, as well as a clashed letter (the second T in TRUST) in the vee of the hair. Lustrous and lightly toned with a sharp strike and the expected number of faint obverse abrasions.(
Registry values: P7, N991)
1892-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. CAC. A brilliant better date Carson City dollar that boasts scintillating luster and a virtually pristine reverse. The obverse field is also smooth, and the portrait has only the expected number of minor grazes.

1892-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. Fully brilliant and untoned silver surfaces possess frosty luster with light reverse reflectivity. This charming Carson City dollar will please nearly all collectors.(
Registry values: P7, N991)
1892-CC $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. Intensely lustrous with bold cartwheels and faint skiffs of cloud-white patina across silver surfaces. Well struck devices offer glimpses of twinkling frost. Undeniably high-end for the near-Gem range, though a luster scrape below Liberty's chin leaves the coin just shy of an even finer designation.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1892-O $1 MS65 PCGS Secure. A marvelous Gem with light gold toning on the obverse. The reverse is fully brilliant with no evidence of toning over its frosty luster. The strike is typical for the New Orleans dollars from the 1890s, with weakness over the ear, and at the center of the reverse.(
Registry values: P7, N2998)
1892-O $1 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Ex: PCGS Tour. For the knowledgeable Morgan dollar collector, the simple existence of this Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem is astounding. Wayne Miller's
The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, a classic that has held up well despite the passage of nearly three decades, proclaims: "The 1892-O is one of the rarest of the Morgan dollars in prooflike condition. Even semi-prooflike specimens are rare."
The book also has a memorable roll-call of the eight prooflike coins the author had seen in 1982, reprinted virtually verbatim by Q. David Bowers a decade later in his
Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States, beginning: "Two were barely mint state, and unattractive. One was well struck, but quite bagmarked and not deeply mirrored. Four were deeply mirrored gray brilliant prooflikes, with very flat strikes." The last coin mentioned was the piece pictured, a well struck coin with not only mirrors, but contrast.
The present Gem, one of just three MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike examples known to PCGS with none finer (4/10), does not fit into any of the above categories. Certainly as a Gem, it is not "barely Mint State" or "quite bagmarked," yet the definition is characteristically soft, with a broad plain of frost at the hair over Liberty's ear. Nor is the coin strictly brilliant; prominent yellow toning graces the borders, and two flyspecks are noted in the field to the left of Liberty's face. Whatever path this piece may have taken, it was justly recognized by PCGS as one of the finest 1892-O Morgan dollars known, and it still holds that distinction today.(
Registry values: P7, N4719)
1892-S $1 AU53 NGC. CAC. The 1892-S is among the rarest Morgan dollar issues in Mint State, and it is also highly challenging in AU. The pearl-gray and almond-gold surfaces lack distracting abrasions, and luster dominates the borders, plumage, and hair curls.(
Registry values: P8, N1793)
1893 $1 MS64 PCGS. Light orange-red toning adorns the borders of this lustrous and sharply impressed near-Gem. Virtually unabraded save for faint grazes on the cheek. The 3 is lightly repunched, as usual for this low mintage Philly date.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1893 $1 MS65 PCGS. Ex: PCGS Tour. A frosty and delightful Gem with prominent cartwheel luster. Frosty surfaces are mainly silver-white in appearance with occasional skiffs of cloud-white patina across the top. Moderate striking softness at the centers is not uncommon for the issue. PCGS has graded a mere three coins finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P7, N2998)
1893-CC $1 XF45 NGC. Surprisingly flashy for a Choice XF coin with generally uniform luster in blue-tinged pale silver. Rubbed on the high points with a long, thin abrasion and other marks on Liberty's cheek.(
Registry values: P8, N1)
1893-CC $1 MS63 PCGS. The ever popular 1893-CC dollar, the coin that ended an era, exhibits frosty silver luster. The surfaces are lightly marked as usual for nearly all surviving examples of this issue. Presented is a marvelous piece for the avid Morgan dollar or Carson City collector.(
Registry values: P8, N2998)
1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. This is an exceptional example for the grade, a borderline Gem with brilliant, satiny luster and smooth, unmarked surfaces. Both sides have a sharp strike and possess unmarked silver surfaces. PCGS has only graded 10 examples finer than this piece (4/10).(
Registry values: P8, N2998)
1893-O $1 AU58 PCGS. Just a touch of rub mingles with striking softness on the high points of this O-mint Morgan. Scattered luster grazes and light abrasions are noted on cloud-white surfaces that show occasional dots of deeper gray color.(
Registry values: P8, N991)
1893-O $1 AU58 NGC. At 300,000 pieces, the mintage of the 1893-O Morgan dollar is the lowest of the series from the New Orleans Mint. The present coin is well struck, with brilliant surfaces yielding to shades of gold at the borders.(
Registry values: P8, N991)
1893-O $1 MS62 PCGS. Light caramel-gold toning graces this lustrous and lightly abraded rare date dollar. The centers exhibit typical O-mint incompleteness, and the cheek displays a few faint grazes. Struck from multiply clashed dies. The lowest mintage New Orleans Mint issue.(
Registry values: P8, N1793)
1893-S $1 --Harshly Cleaned--NGC Details. Fine. The key issue to the Morgan dollar series, the 1893-S is always in demand, regardless of its grade or quality. This piece has pale gray surfaces with obvious cleaning lines and other impairments on both sides. There is a collector for every coin, and this one is no exception. We anticipate active bidding.(
Registry values: P10, N1)
1893-S $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Fine. This pleasing light silver-gray example has faint hairlines and other blemishes on each side, including an obverse rim bruise at 4 o'clock. A ready market exists for every 1893-S Morgan dollar. The obverse die characteristics of genuine 1893-S Morgan dollars are readily visible.(
Registry values: P10, N1)
1893-S $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. VF. The devices show even wear over the high points on each side. There are a few medium-sized abrasions on Liberty and one on the eagle's breast, but these are consistent with a coin that has been through 40 points of circulation. Both sides are silver-gray in appearance from having been cleaned, as seen by the hairlining seen on both obverse and reverse.(
Registry values: P10, N1793)
1893-S $1 XF40 PCGS. The fields and devices are dove-gray, while the borders display autumn-brown. Study beneath a loupe reveals pleasing surfaces despite an inconspicuous pinscratch that reaches the E in E PLURIBUS UNUM. The low mintage key date of this widely collected series.(
Registry values: P10, N2998)
1893-S $1 XF40 PCGS. Sometimes described as the "King of the Morgan Dollars," the 1893-S is an issue that has always been desirable among collectors of this immensely popular series, and has gradually emerged as the most prominent key date. Even in circulated grades, the 1893-S is scarce and highly sought-after. This example displays even wear across each side, and untoned centers that are surrounded by deep, attractive turquoise-green and golden-brown peripheral toning on the obverse.(
Registry values: P10, N2998)
1893-S $1 AU50 PCGS. Only 100,000 pieces were struck of the 1893-S, and apparently very few were set aside in government vaults. Thus the 1893-S is a key date whose mintage corresponds to its rarity, unlike other low-mintage issues, most notably the 1885-CC. In AU grades it is avidly sought after by specialists. This example displays a well-balanced, slate-gray appearance with ample definition on the design elements. There are no unduly bothersome distractions but several wispy abrasions are, however, noted on the obverse. The texture of the coin is slightly glossy.(
Registry values: P10, N4719)
1894 $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. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been whizzed. Careful rotation of this richly detailed and nearly untoned rare date silver dollar displays patches of swirling hairlines. The fields are inordinately bright.(
Registry values: P8, N8)
1894 $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. VF. Here is a splendid example, despite the appearance of abrasive cleaning on the obverse. The 1894 is an important key in the Morgan series.(
Registry values: P8, N1)
1894 $1 VF25 NGC. A popular key-date in the Morgan dollar series, the low-mintage 1894 garners demand in all grades, circulated, Mint State, and proof. This attractive and original example has gray-brown toning over pleasing surfaces. Handling marks on each side are consistent with the grade.(
Registry values: P8, N1)
1894 $1 AU50 PCGS. Lightly worn across the high points but with ample silver luster remaining. A line of reed marks is noted at the left side of Liberty's cheek, and scattered abrasions are also present elsewhere.(
Registry values: P8, N991)
1894 $1 AU58 NGC. At first glance, this rare date Philly dollar appears to be Mint State, but the eagle's breast and the hair above the ear display a trace of rub. Nonetheless, luster rolls across the unmarked silver-gray surfaces.(
Registry values: P8, N991)
1894 $1 AU58 NGC. A lustrous Borderline Uncirculated example of the lowest mintage Philadelphia business strike issue. Minor abrasions are consistent with brief circulation. Golden-brown patina is limited to the right obverse periphery.(
Registry values: P8, N991)
1894 $1 AU58 NGC. The meager mintage of 110,000 pieces makes the 1894 Morgan dollar the first key issue in the series from the Philadelphia Mint. The present coin is a pleasing near-Mint example with only the slightest wear on the devices and much remaining luster.(
Registry values: P8, N991)
1894 $1 MS61 NGC. This perennially popular semikey issue was made to the extent of only 110,000 coins, and only one die pair sufficed for all of them. On the obverse, the left base of 1 aligns with the left edge of a dentil, and on the reverse a small raised die line appears in the triangle between the eagle's right leg and the leg feathers. This frosty silver-gray example shows a few abrasions on Liberty's jaw and scattered about elsewhere that determine the grade.(
Registry values: P8, N1793)
1894 $1 MS62 NGC. This boldly defined Mint State 1894 dollar has brilliant silver luster with no evidence of toning on either side. This desirable piece is a wonderful representative of the low mintage 1894 dollar, the key Philadelphia Mint business strike in the Morgan series.(
Registry values: P8, N1793)
1894 $1 MS64 PCGS. This amazing 1894 Morgan dollar has frosty silver luster beneath champagne and gold toning on both sides. It is an exceptional piece with pristine surfaces for the grade. Although slight weakness is evident at the centers, the overall appearance is outstanding. PCGS has only certified 24 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: P8, N2998)
1894 $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. If not for the famously low mintage of the 1893-S issue, the 1894 would be far more famous. As it is, the 1894 has attained considerable cachet, despite its mintage exceeding that of the 1893-S by 10,000 coins. This Philadelphia date was not immediately recognized as a rarity, since contemporary collectors were more focused on proofs than business strikes, and a few bags of 1894 Morgans were included in the Treasury releases. Soon afterward, however, it became apparent that existing supplies of the 1894 dollar would not keep up with increasing demand. Today, the 1894 is considered one of the keys to the set, particularly in better Mint State grades.
In the traveling exhibition put on by PCGS in the early 1990s that showcased the finest Morgan dollars certified by that firm, this coin represented the 1894 issue. Though four finer examples have been certified by PCGS since the days of the Tour (4/10), this Gem representative still commands great respect among Morgan dollar aficionados.
The overall design definition is solid, if a trifle weak at the central obverse, and the luster is frosty overall. Faintly textured surfaces are pale silver with just a suggestion of tan color along the rims. Both sides are minimally abraded, with just a few tiny marks and luster scrapes visible. A carefully preserved coin with uncommon eye appeal, sure to be prized by its next owner.(
Registry values: P8, N4719)
1894-S $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Glimpses of tan toning visit this lustrous and nicely struck better date silver dollar. The lower cheek displays faint parallel roller marks, as made, but post-strike contact is undistracting.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 10/2000), lot 8417.(
Registry values: P6, N1793)
1894-S $1 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike ANACS. Both sides of this delightful 1894-S dollar have fully and deeply mirrored fields with lustrous silver surfaces and splashes of light iridescent toning. This ranks among the finest prooflike examples of the date that have ever been offered.(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1895-O $1 MS62 PCGS. In 1895, silver dollars were definitely not needed or wanted by the American public. The provisions of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of July 14, 1890 required the government to produce a vast quantity of these unnecessary coins every month. The thankless task of coining these unwanted coins fell heavily on the staff of the New Orleans Mint during much of the 1890s.
Probably because the coiners knew the majority of these coins would be stored in vaults, far from critical eyes, the staff took no special pains with quality control. In fact, their main concern was to turn out as many coins as possible, in the shortest time possible. In an effort to lessen die wear and prevent breakage, with the resulting delays, the coiners set the dies farther apart than usual, resulting in poor striking quality on almost all specimens coined. Muted mint luster was also a consequence of this casual approach to coinage.
The recorded mintage for the 1895-O Morgan dollar was an anemic 450,000 pieces. Though most of these were stored away, perhaps 100,000 pieces were released into circulation at the time of issue. Coins continued to be released sporadically over the years, until the supply was gone. Apparently, there were no 1895-O coins left in storage by the time of the Treasury releases in the 1960s. Q. David Bowers has stated, "The rarity and importance of the 1895-O in Mint State cannot be overemphasized."
The present coin has a better than average strike for this date, with much detail discernable on Liberty's hair and the eagle's breast. The luster is subdued, as usually seen on this date. Mottled gray and lilac toning accent the fields, and handling marks are consistent with the grade. This offering is an important opportunity to acquire this historic coin in Mint State.(
Registry values: P9, N4719)
1895-O $1 AU58 Prooflike NGC. The 1895-O has the distinction of being the only circulation strike Morgan dollar that is not known to have been part of any Treasury releases. This attractive example has vivid amber toning around the margins that surrounds brilliant centers. Myriad abrasions lightly affect the impressive reflectivity of the fields. A relatively low 450,000 pieces were struck, and only a select few have received a Prooflike designation from either NGC or PCGS. NGC reports just four finer Prooflike examples.(
Registry values: P9, N991)
1895-S $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. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a AU specimen that has been dipped. Still a highly lustrous and attractive example with excellent design details and a trace of champagne toning.(

1895-S $1 XF45 NGC. This gunmetal-gray key date Morgan dollar retains traces of luster within the wings and other design crevices. A loupe fails to locate any noticeable marks.(

1896 $1 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. Peach-gold toning is moderate in intensity and limited to the margins. Well struck aside from the claws. Nearly pristine save for one faint diagonal line on the cheek. Population: 11 in 66 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2, N1793)
1896-O $1 MS61 NGC. Softly lustrous with light pink and gold shadings settling over faintly toned surfaces. Well struck overall but with appreciable flatness at the hair over Liberty's ear.(
Registry values: P9, N1793)
1896-O $1 MS62 PCGS. The New Orleans Mint produced nearly 5 million Morgan dollars in 1896, but nearly all of them entered commerce. Relatively few survive in Mint State grades, and the present piece is an exceptional representative with brilliant, untoned silver surfaces. Both sides show typical weakness at the centers.(
Registry values: P9, N1793)
1896-S $1 MS64 PCGS. Though the 1896-S has a round mintage of 5 million pieces, comparatively few examples are found in better Mint State grades. This near-Gem offers a great balance of challenge and accessibility. Streaks of green-gold and peach toning cover parts of the lustrous surfaces, while light cloud-white patina is present elsewhere. Brightly lustrous with the typical softness at the hair over Liberty's ear less visible than usually seen. PCGS has graded 56 coins in higher grades (4/10).(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1897-O $1 MS61 PCGS. Softly struck at the central obverse, though the reverse is better-defined. Elements of peach and orange appear at parts of the margins, most visibly in the date area, while the rest of the coin has light gray toning over lustrous surfaces.(
Registry values: P7, N991)
1897-O $1 MS62 PCGS. Silver luster is faintly toned-over with elements of pale blue in the gray. Well struck overall with minor softness at the centers. Wispy abrasions and a few luster grazes contribute to the grade.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1897-O $1 MS62 PCGS. Well struck with swirling luster and a tinge of golden color at the margins. While a number of light marks are noted on and around the portrait, the eye appeal is strong for the grade.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1898 $1 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. A crisply detailed example of this Philadelphia issue with outstanding reflectivity through light patina, mainly pale silver-gray but with considerable blue elements on the reverse and areas of gold at the margins. A shallow luster scrape is noted at Liberty's frosted jaw, but the portrait is free of significant abrasions. Population: 12 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2, N2998)
1898-O $1 MS67 NGC. Sun-gold and champagne-rose peripheral shadings cede to near-brilliance at the centers. Excellent striking definition and luster for this popular New Orleans issue. Certified in a former generation holder. NGC has graded only one numerically finer example (4/10).(

1898-S $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Faint gold toning clings to the reverse of this otherwise untoned Morgan dollar. Crisply struck and attractive with a few small marks on the eagle's breast and the first L in DOLLAR. A scarce San Francisco issue in Uncirculated grades.

1898-S $1 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Strong reflectivity pierces the rich yellow-green and blue toning that drapes each side. Contrast is low, as usually seen, doubtless influenced by the patina. This Gem offers decidedly above-average definition through the centers and great eye appeal. Population: 5 in 65 Prooflike, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1899 $1 MS65 PCGS. This Gem has brilliant surfaces that display radiant luster and nicely struck design features, except for a touch of softness in the hair over Liberty's ear. A few toning specks dot the obverse.(
Registry values: P4, N991)
1899 $1 MS66 PCGS. Pearl-gray throughout save for an infrequent peripheral blush of rich peach-gold. Glimpses of cobalt-blue and cherry-red are on the obverse near 3 o'clock. Lustrous and nicely struck with unabraded fields and only faint grazes on the portrait.(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1899-O $1 MS67 NGC. Solidly struck for the issue with frosty luster. This Superb Gem, tied for numerically finest known to NGC (4/10), has silver centers that give way to gold and orange toning around most of the borders. The upper obverse adds a crescent of blue against the rim.(
Registry values: P1, N1793)
1899-S $1 MS65 PCGS. A flashy Gem that is essentially silver-white with only faint suggestions of gray toning in the fields. The eagle is well-defined, though Liberty's portrait shows more typical softness at the hair over the ear.(
Registry values: P5, N1793)
1900-O/CC $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-12. A Top 100 Variety. VAM-12 shows more of the Carson City mintmark than any other 1900-O/CC reverse. A lustrous and beautifully preserved Gem that has glimpses of tan toning in design recesses.(
Registry values: P5, N1793)
1900-O/CC $1 MS66 PCGS. VAM-8. A Top 100 Variety. A subtle crescent of lemon-gold patina visits the lower left obverse of this otherwise silver-white piece. Boldly impressed for the New Orleans issue with uncommonly vibrant luster and striking visual appeal. Population: 81 in 66, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1900-S $1 MS65 PCGS. This essentially pristine Gem displays delicate almond-gold toning and provides outstanding eye appeal. Minor inexactness of strike is noted, and the jaw exhibits nearly imperceptible roller marks, as made.(
Registry values: P5, N1793)
1900-S $1 MS66 PCGS. Fully lustrous silver-gray surfaces display an occasional speckle of gold-tan. Generally well struck, except for minor softness in the centers. A few minute ticks and grazes do not detract. David Bowers (2006) estimates that a million or more of the 3.54 million pieces were melted under the 1918 Pittman Act. Population: 91 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1901 $1 MS62 PCGS. Subtle violet and iridescent toning graces both sides of this important Mint State 1901 Morgan dollar. Lighter gold frames the obverse. The strike is typical and the eye appeal is wonderful for the grade. This is a scarce date that is usually found in circulated grades.(
Registry values: P9, N2998)
1901 $1 MS64 PCGS. The standard narrative for the 1901 dollar is that it is common when clearly circulated and elusive in Mint State. What is less often explored is how the different levels of Mint State vary in rarity, and a look at the PCGS
Population Report is most illustrative. Among Mint State grades, the most commonly certified state is MS62; while it might be speculated that many of those coins are resubmissions made in the hope of receiving an MS63 grade, it is worth noting that the MS62 and MS63 populations are quite comparable, at 231 and 168 certification events, respectively.
Prices rise rapidly within the Mint State categories, with a steep rise from MS62 to MS63 and even steeper beyond that. There are just 24 coins certified by PCGS in grades above MS63; of those, 21 are in MS64 and just three in MS65, with none finer (4/10). Heritage's own auction experience reveals how tightly held high-end PCGS examples of the date are; the firm has auctioned just one of the three MS65 coins, albeit on two different occasions, and there are only a handful of MS64 PCGS coins that dot the Permanent Auction Archives.
This near-Gem makes a worthy addition to the list. Lustrous surfaces are generally light silver-gray, with occasional gold and peach accents visible on the reverse. Slight striking softness is noted at the obverse center, but the overall detail is pleasing for the issue. While a number of small ticks are visible on Liberty's lower face and neck, the coin's immediate eye appeal suggests something more than an MS64. The serious Morgan dollar collector should give this coin equally serious consideration.(
Registry values: P9, N7079)
1901-S $1 MS65 ANACS. A lustrous Gem with well preserved fields and glimpses of peach-gold throughout the borders. The centers show minor softness, but the strike is otherwise crisp. It is curious that San Francisco mintages were much lower than at Philadelphia and New Orleans between 1900 and 1903, since silver dollars circulated more extensively in the West.(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1902 $1 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. While not Prooflike, this Premium Gem has considerable reflective luster on the obverse and even more on the reverse. Light toning overall with pale green and blue elements dappled across each side. Definition is significantly above-average. PCGS has graded 20 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: P4, N1793)
1902-S $1 MS64 NGC. CAC. Rich red to orange shadings are noted at the borders, while the lustrous centers are pale silver-gray. A trifle softly struck on the high points but decidedly appealing for the grade nonetheless.(
Registry values: P6, N991)
1902-S $1 MS66 PCGS. The centers of this cartwheeled Premium Gem are silvery and delightful, while varying levels of gold to orange toning grace the peripheries. A soft strike at the hair over Liberty's ear is counterbalanced by the boldness on the eagle's feathers. Great condition and eye appeal for this challenging 20th century Morgan dollar issue. Population: 29 in 66, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P6, N2998)
1903 $1 MS67 NGC. Impressively detailed with delightful cartwheel luster. Faint peach accents grace parts of the margins, and a single small spot of deep toning is noted at the upper right corner of the N in UNUM. Census: 86 in 67, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2, N2998)
1903 $1 MS67 PCGS. Brightly lustrous with better-than-average definition and light wisps of cloudy toning over otherwise silver-white surfaces. Only a few small luster grazes are present in the fields, and marks are nearly nonexistent. A carefully preserved Superb Gem that is tied for the finest certified by PCGS (4/10) and thus a Registry collector essential.(
Registry values: P2, N2998)
1903-O $1 MS66 PCGS. This lightly toned and well struck Premium Gem exhibits vibrant luster and exemplary fields. Liberty's face has only a couple of wispy grazes. Outstanding quality for this later O-mint issue.(
Registry values: P4, N991)
1903-S $1 AU50 PCGS. Light but distinct wear is focused on the high points, leaving the rest of the silver surfaces surprisingly lustrous. Minor to moderate abrasions dot the portrait and the nearby fields.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1903-S $1 Small S VF20 PCGS. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. The Small or Micro S is among the most famous mini-mintmark Morgan dollar varieties, and one of the most challenging. This midrange representative has a mix of medium-gray shadings with blue and gold accents. Small digs on and near the portrait contribute to the grade.(
Registry values: P7)
1904 $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Gorgeous luster and intense toning combine for wonderful eye appeal on this well-defined Gem. Blue and violet hues are most prominent on each side. The upper obverse has a crescent of lime-green and peach, while the reverse shows the latter color in patches at its center. PCGS has graded 14 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: P5, N2998)
1904-S $1 MS62 PCGS. Faint tan-gold toning adorns this lustrous better date Morgan dollar. The centers show moderate softness of impression, and the scattered wispy marks are perhaps unduly assessed by PCGS. All San Francisco dollars from the early 1900s are challenging in Mint State. Encapsulated in an old green label holder.(
Registry values: P7, N1793)
1904-S $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Tantalizingly close to Gem condition, as attested by multiple sources, though the tiny marks on Liberty's cheek preclude that status. Still, this is an incredible coin for an MS64, immensely appealing with bold cartwheel luster beneath moderate patina, green-gold, peach, and lavender on the obverse with similar, more subtle shadings on the reverse. Faint roller marks on the cheek are visible only at an angle.(
Registry values: P7, N2998)
1904-S $1 MS65 PCGS Secure. A richly toned example of this popular San Francisco Morgan dollar issue, the last produced before 1921. Strong luster shines from beneath dappled blue, green, and gold toning that also shows a narrow horizontal band of reddish-orange across the lower portrait. Highly elusive above the Gem level; PCGS has graded a mere 11 coins finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P7, N2998)
1921-S $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Significantly above-average luster and design detail for this final-year San Francisco issue. Silver-gray centers on each side with toned peripheries, deep blue and green-gold on the obverse with lighter echoes of the latter color on the reverse. PCGS has certified 25 finer examples (4/10).(

Proof Morgan Dollars
1879 $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Proof. This scarce second-year proof Morgan dollar has light peripheral golden toning. The open fields are cloudy with hairlines. The eagle's breast and the hair above the ear display incompleteness of strike.(

1879 $1 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. A brilliant specimen that approaches a Deep Cameo designation, since the glassy fields exhibit exemplary contrast against the icy, fully struck devices. The eye appeal is outstanding for the designated grade. Cameos are surprisingly scarce for the proof 1879, and PCGS has certified only a single example as Deep Cameo. Population: 13 in 64 Cameo, 14 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1879 $1 PR65 Cameo NGC. This second-year proof Morgan issue is awash in colorful patina, with considerable field-device contrast that well merits the Cameo designation from NGC. Splashes of obverse color range from blue to purple to brown to charcoal, while the reverse is primarily golden-hued in the centers, ceding to violet and cobalt-blue near the lower rim. Census: 8 in 65 Cameo, 33 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1880 $1 PR66 Cameo NGC. A large proof mintage of 1,355 Morgan dollars was achieved in 1880. The issue is readily available in the context of proof Morgan dollars, but it is quite scarce in the PR66 Cameo designation. Light tan-gold toning graces the right obverse, and is faintly apparent across the remainder of this razor-sharp Premium Gem. The field-device contrast is strong enough to earn the coveted Cameo designation. The portrait, eagle, and wreath exhibit consistent frost, and the flashy fields are essentially devoid of hairlines. Census: 32 in 66 Cameo, 38 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1880 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. Struck from freshly prepared dies, this lovely Superb Gem features bold cameo contrast with deep mirrored fields that frame its brilliant and frosty silver devices. All of the individual die details are sharply defined on this specimen. Here is an outstanding 19th century proof Morgan dollar that will grace the finest type collection, proof set, or specialized Morgan dollar cabinet. Although many collectors prefer business strike Morgan dollars, the connoisseur realizes that no coin is more beautiful than a Superb Gem Cameo proof. Census: 13 in 68 Cameo, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N7079)
1881 $1 PR64 PCGS. The caramel-gold obverse border frames the untoned field and portrait, while the reverse displays only faint honey-gold toning. A fully struck and well preserved Choice proof Morgan. Only 975 proofs were struck, despite the presence of the proof-only Trade dollar within the silver proof set of that year.(
Registry values: N2998)
1882 $1 Genuine PCGS. Proof. 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 a proof specimen that has altered surfaces. This untoned example has glassy fields and moderate cameo frost on the devices. No hairlines are evident.
1882 $1 --Artificial Toning--NCS. Proof. The milk-gray fields also display a hint of lilac patina. A strong loupe reveals delicate obverse hairlines. The strike is unimprovable, and the portrait offers consistent and noticeable cameo frost.(
Registry values: N991)
1882 $1 PR64 NGC. The 1882 is a popular early date in the Morgan series that is used as a type coin. It was minted six years before the soft-strike problem began to affect proof dollars. As a result, almost all examples are like this one, fully struck in all areas. The fields are also deeply mirrored on each side and there is a slight bit of contrast evident with the noticeably frosted devices. Each side is covered with deep reddish-golden toning.(
Registry values: N2998)
1883 $1 PR67 NGC. This piece is nearly the numerically finest certified with no Cameo or Ultra Cameo designation, save for one single piece each at NGC and PCGS. Despite the lack of Cameo designation there is considerable field-device contrast, and the intense yet translucent patina emits gorgeous luster, covered by saffron, violet, and aqua hues on the obverse. The reverse displays equally gorgeous patina of a more monochromatic sort, copper-orange at the rims with silver centers. A fully struck jewel for the color enthusiasts. Census: 13 in 67, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1886 $1 PR64 NGC. A fully struck Choice proof that has obvious frost throughout the devices and legends, although no Cameo designation has been secured, perhaps due to slightly subdued field reflectivity. A wisp or two of faint peach toning denies absolute brilliance. A mere 886 proofs were struck.(
Registry values: N2998)
1887 $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Proof. Peach-gold and navy-blue emerge when this fully struck proof is rotated beneath a light. Faint hairlines are present, but require patience and a strong lens to locate. A meager 710 proofs were issued.(
Registry values: N991)
1888 $1 PR64 NGC. Generous daubs of copper-orange occupy the centers of this near-Gem proof Morgan, while bands of ice-blue and mint encircle the rims on each side. This piece shows only a few tiny signs of contact, although the strike is soft at the hair over the ear, a characteristic usually seen on proofs of this issue. Census: 50 in 64, 37 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1888 $1 PR64 NGC. From a smallish mintage of 833 pieces, the 1888 proof Morgan dollar is known for its weak central striking details. The present coin is better than most examples seen, with only slight softness on the hair above Liberty's ear. The surfaces show minimal handling marks for the grade, but the reflectivity is slightly muted. Census: 50 in 64, 37 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1888 $1 PR64 Cameo NGC. VAM-25, R.7. Light repunching is visible on all four date digits. In his
Complete Encyclopedia, Breen assigned the number 5600 to this variety, and called it "very rare." VAMWorld.com notes there is also a misplaced 8 within the denticles between the 88 in the date. The present specimen has obvious white-on-black contrast and a hint of golden toning near the rims. Census: 11 in 64 Cameo, 20 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1892 $1 --Artificial Toning--NGC Details. Proof. Dusky jade-green fills the borders, while the centers are chestnut-brown. Careful rotation beneath a light fails to locate any hairlines, and the fields display moderate reflectivity. Proof mintages of silver dollars increased in 1892 due to the introduction of the Barber dime, quarter, and half that year.(
Registry values: N991)
1892 $1 PR63 NGC. This is an impressive coin for the grade. The fields are deeply mirrored and each side has a slight overlay of mint frost on the devices, not enough to call the coin a Cameo, but enough to give it an added element of visual appeal. As usually seen, there is high point softness over Liberty's ear--a trend that began on proof Morgans in 1888. The obverse has light rose toning while the reverse is gunmetal-gray.(
Registry values: N1793)
1892 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1892 proof dollars came from a relatively high mintage of 1,245 pieces. According to David Bowers, writing in his Silver and Trade dollars reference (1993), this is explained by "... their inclusion in 1892 silver Proof sets, which were in special demand due to the new Barber designs for the dime, quarter, and half dollar."
Wisps of light tan-gold color gravitate to the obverse rim, and extend slightly into the fields on the reverse. The frosted devices yield stunning contrast with the deeply mirrored fields. The design elements are sharply struck, except for the usual weakness in the centers. In this regard, Bowers says: "The situation of flatly struck Proof coins began in 1888. Dollars dated 1892 continue the trend and show lightness of strike above Miss Liberty's ear ... and on the eagle's breast feathers." The immaculately preserved surfaces do not show any marks that could be used for pedigree purposes. Census: 17 in 67 Cameo, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1893 $1 PR62 NGC. Light sun-gold toning fills the borders of this scarce and pleasing proof Morgan dollar. The eagle and wreath provide cameo contrast, as does Liberty's cap and curls. Only the hair above the ear lacks a precise impression. Just 792 proofs were struck.(
Registry values: N1793)
1894 $1 PR63 NGC. Frost is noticeable throughout the portrait, wreath, and eagle, but NGC has omitted the Cameo designation. The fields retain reflectivity despite medium caramel-gold and stone-gray toning. Faint hairlines are evident beneath a lens, along with minor carbon on the obverse margin. A meager 972 proofs were issued.(
Registry values: N1793)
1895 $1 PR61 Cameo PCGS. Among the most intriguing perspectives on the mystery of the business-strike 1895 Morgan dollars comes from Roger W. Burdette, who published his article "Philly 1895 Morgan dollars" in the July 3, 2006 supplement to
Coin World. He lays out his case for the business strike 1895 Morgan dollars actually having been produced, a case that includes an argument for "expedience and profit" as motives for coining a single tiny batch of Morgan dollars. Then he addressed the fate that likely awaited those coins:
" ... the most plausible explanation is that they were flattened then melted as part of 270,232,722 silver dollars (more than 270,232 bags) converted to bullion. ... Twelve bags dated 1895 represented an insignificant 0.004 percent of silver dollars melted; it is unlikely anyone would have noticed or cared about a few bags stamped '1895.' "
With collectors' dreams of owning a business-strike 1895 Morgan dollar dashed, the only way to fulfill the desire for the date is through the mintage of 880 proofs for that year, proofs such as this captivating specimen. This example shows noticeable contrast between the fields and devices on each side, and there is a slight layer of even golden color on each side. The coin actually has the appearance of a higher grade with the PR61 designation accounted for by several light, scattered contact marks on Liberty's cheek and in the fields.(
Registry values: N7079)
1897 $1 PR62 NGC. Delicate mauve toning visits this prominently mirrored and attractive specimen. A faint fingerprint fragment on the obverse near 3 o'clock is of little import. Well struck save for the hair above the ear. Only 731 proofs were issued.(
Registry values: N1793)
1898 $1 PR64 PCGS. CAC. From a meager mintage of 735 pieces, the 1898 proof Morgan dollar is usually found with sharp striking details and deeply mirrored fields. The present coin is a particularly attractive example, with subtle hints of cerulean-blue and emerald-green toning. Overall visual appeal is outstanding, as attested by the CAC sticker. Population: 50 in 64, 36 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1898 $1 PR64 Cameo NGC. Rich peach-gold, cobalt-blue, and cherry-red peripheral toning emerges when this razor-sharp proof Morgan dollar is rotated beneath a light. When viewed from a different angle, the fields transform to gunmetal-blue, and the devices acquire frost. Census: 13 in 64 Cameo, 24 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1900 $1 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Distinctly contrasted with primarily silver-white devices strongly frosted. Intense mirrors show a variety of green-gold shades, as well as more intense orange colors close to parts of the rims. Well-defined with minor hairlines which account for the grade. Population: 14 in 64 Cameo, 12 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1900 $1 PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. CAC. VAM-32. Extra 0 in denticles. As VAMWorld.com puts it, "Top of 0 shows in denticles as raised curved bar in denticle space between 00 and small curved tick in adjacent right denticle space. Date set further left than normal." The small curved tick in the adjacent right denticle is quite faint (small), but the raised curved bar can be seen clearly with a standard good 7x or 10x loupe. The site gives no price history for the variety but notes that it was "discovered by C. Logan McKechnie in November 2003." This piece should nonetheless command a high price after some spirited bidding--whether the high bidder is a type collector or VAM specialist--as it is one of the finest certified examples of the 1900 proof issue.
The proof mintage of the 1900 Morgan dollar was 912 pieces, a nominal amount within the series, although it was the largest since the 1894 production of 972 coins. The larger total of proof silver dollars made was likely due to the turn of the century. A new reverse hub for the Morgan dollar was introduced in 1900, which numismatists call the C4 hub. It shows extremely minor differences from the old hub, known as C3. This piece shows some of the near-horizontal spines within the bow on the reverse that Bowers mentions in his
Silver Dollar Encyclopedia as characteristic of the C3 reverse hub.
Die varieties aside, this is a monumentally attractive coin, fully meriting the NGC Star designation for superior eye appeal,
and the Cameo designation for its deep contrast between the fields and devices. The surfaces are lightly toned in a delightful melange of silver-gold, lilac, and heather, and contact marks are essentially absent, as demanded by the grade. This piece is one of the three numerically finest-graded at NGC in PR68 Star, tied with one other Cameo example and one Ultra Cameo.(
Registry values: N7079)
1901 $1 PR61 NGC. Only a trace of gold toning appears over this lightly hairlined proof dollar. Both sides have sharp design features, fully brilliant mirrored fields, and faint cameo contrast.(
Registry values: N1793)
1901 $1 PR61 NGC. VAM-4. The reverse is die doubled, strongest on ONE DOLLAR, a diagnostic for the proof issue of this conditionally challenging Philadelphia date. A well struck specimen with moderately frosty devices and reflective almond-gold, lilac, and sea-green fields.(
Registry values: N1793)
1901 $1 PR63 NGC. Our first impression of this coin is that it appears to be undergraded. Yes, there are hairlines present, but they are light and not visible without a magnifier. The second impression is to note the slight contrast between the devices and the unfathomably deep mirrors in the fields. Both sides have light pinkish-gray patina, and there are no obvious contact marks on either side. Always of interest to Morgan collectors because of the extreme rarity of 1901 circulation strikes.(
Registry values: N1793)
1902 $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Proof. Mottled russet-brown and cream-gray toning blankets this specimen. The centers show moderate incompleteness. No hairlines are readily observed beneath the milky patina. Only 777 proofs were issued.(
Registry values: N991)
1904 $1 PR61 ANACS. Glossy surfaces are lightly gray-toned overall with claret and mauve elements at the borders. The centers have a typically soft strike, and close inspection of the fields turns up a number of hairlines which account for the grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
Peace Dollars
1921 $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 50 Variety.
The earliest VAM in the Top 50 Peace dollar reference, and famous due to the reengraved (as made) ray that crosses
over the first L in DOLLAR. Lustrous and smooth with pastel ivory-gray and almond-gold toning. The centers display typical incompleteness of strike.(
Registry values: N991)
1921 $1 MS65 PCGS Secure. CAC. Silver-blue and caramel-gold adorn this lustrous first-year Peace dollar. The strike is above average for the high relief subtype. The fields and the reverse appear nearly unabraded. Clashed near the eagle's shoulders.(
Registry values: N1793)
1921 $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Frosty silver overall with a few flecks of deep obsidian color at the reverse margins. A well struck coin for the issue and an appealing Gem.(
Registry values: N1793)
1921 $1 MS66 PCGS. This Premium Gem is virtually a full strike, with only slight weakness in the usual locations. The surfaces are fully lustrous with intense mint frost. The obverse has delightful violet and blue toning. The toning on this piece actually reminds us of the 1983 ANA poster by Peter Max, commissioned by Kagin's.(
Registry values: N2998)
1922-S $1 MS65 PCGS. Strong, swirling luster is the prime attribute of this well-preserved Gem. Hints of gold and russet toning appear at the margins of this otherwise silver-gray coin, and the centers show a degree of striking softness.(
Registry values: N1793)
1923 $1 MS61 PCGS. VAM-1C. A Top 50 Variety. The desirable late die state of the "Tail on O" variety. The die break from the base of the O in DOLLAR is larger than is seen on either photograph for the VAM in the Top 50 reference. This lustrous example has dove-gray centers and golden-brown borders. The surfaces are uncommonly devoid of marks for the MS61 grade.
1923 $1 MS62 PCGS. VAM-1E. A Top 50 Variety. The "Broken Wing" VAM with three die lumps on the wing connected by a slender die crack. Light to medium golden-tan toning this visits lustrous example. Well preserved save for a concealed thin mark on the eagle's rock, and sharply struck aside from the tops of the TY in LIBERTY.
1923-S $1 MS65 PCGS. The 1923-S dollar usually comes poorly struck (David Bowers, 2006). Our Gem offering in this lot displays better-than-average definition, as evidenced by the sharpness in most of Liberty's hair. White surfaces exude bright luster, and are well preserved save for a few grade-consistent marks. Only four coins have been certified in a higher numerical grade by NGC and PCGS combined (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1924-S $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. A lustrous and virtually brilliant near-Gem that has a few delicate tan freckles on each side. This attractively preserved and sharply struck better date Peace dollar possesses interesting clash marks and obverse die polish lines.(
Registry values: N991)
1924-S $1 MS65 NGC. This is a difficult issue to find well-struck and with good luster, but the present Gem is nonetheless such a piece, with frosty luster beaming from silver-white surfaces and a bold strike through the center high points. Few coins of this issue are certified in MS66 at either service. Census: 64 in 65, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1925-S $1 MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 50 Variety. The right edge of the eagle's wing is die doubled, hence the "Doubled Wing" moniker. A satiny and unblemished near-Gem with cream-gray and straw-gold toning. A better date, with or without doubled wing status.(
Registry values: N991)
1927-S $1 MS65 NGC. The mintage of this issue was less than 1 million coins--866,000, to be exact--and many typical examples have quality issues. This is one of the highly reflective examples that likely stems from the Redfield hoard, with radiant cartwheel luster from silver-white, satiny surfaces. that have only a suggestion of lilac and ice-blue color. The strike is good through the centers, although a few ticks on the reverse preclude an even finer grade. Census: 71 in 65, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1928 $1 MS64 PCGS. A well-defined near-Gem example of this popular key issue, lightly gray-toned with two spots of brown toning along the jawline. Small ticks on the left side of the portrait and in the adjacent field contribute to the grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1928 $1 MS64 NGC. With a series low mintage of 360,649 pieces, the 1928 Peace dollar is an important key issue. The present coin exhibits a better-than-average strike and strong mint luster. Areas of gold toning intermingle with predominately brilliant surfaces.(
Registry values: N991)
1928 $1 MS65 PCGS. While the famous 1928 Peace dollar is accessible in grades through near-Gem level, in MS65 it becomes elusive, just as demand for high-end examples becomes strongest. This bright silver-white example has a faint "skin" of patina with small luster grazes. A rim nick at the M of AMERICA on the reverse contributes to the grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1928 $1 MS65 PCGS. Light golden hints influence the pale gray toning that drapes the lustrous surfaces of this Gem. The central devices are well-defined and minimally marked. The most significant abrasions are two tiny rim nicks near the eagle's wing and tail feathers. PCGS has certified only 11 coins in finer grades (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1928-S $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. Outstanding mint luster is the salient feature of this attractive Near Gem specimen. An available issue in lower grades, the 1928-S is the most difficult date of the series to locate in Gem condition.(
Registry values: N991)
1934-D $1 MS64 ANACS. VAM-4. A Top 50 Variety. Small D. The obverse is die doubled, most visible on IN GOD. This is an important and elusive variety with brilliant and satiny silver luster and traces of peripheral iridescence. The strike is sharp with bold reverse details. This is a wonderful example, and an important variety.(
Registry values: N991)
1934-D $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 50 Variety. Medium D. Liberty's profile is strongly die doubled, as is the D WE in IN GOD WE TRUST. The borders are lightly toned golden-brown and sea-green. Lustrous and well preserved with a clean cheek and good eye appeal.(
Registry values: N1793)
1934-S $1 MS63 PCGS. This Peace dollar issue with a mintage just above a million pieces is available for a price in all circulated and several Mint State grades, though starting at the Select level, that price becomes steep. The present coin has strong golden overtones across pale silver-gray surfaces. Minimally abraded but with a long luster graze just to the left of Liberty's profile and another, shorter graze near the truncation of the bust.(
Registry values: N1793)
1934-S $1 MS64 PCGS. This sharply detailed 1934-S has a full quota of frosty silver luster beneath deep gold and iridescent toning on both sides. Although other issues are rarer in high grade, the 1928 and 1934-S Peace dollars are considered the two key dates, elusive in all grades.(
Registry values: N2998)
1935 $1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Delicate almond-gold toning adorns this lustrous and precisely struck final-year low mintage Gem. Attractively preserved, and a bargain relative to the next finer grade.(

Proof Susan B. Anthony Dollars
1981-S SBA$ Type Two PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. Flawless quicksilver surfaces broadcast their broad appeal, with deep contrast and a complete absence of distractions. The Type Two mintmark has large, bulbous serifs and is less symmetrical than the Type One, appearing almost to be upside-down.(
Registry values: N991)
Sacagawea Dollars
2000-P SAC$1 Goodacre MS68 PCGS. The Goodacre presentation Sacagawea dollars feature a strongly reflective surface texture with no evidence of contrast. This sharply struck and near-perfect example holds to the rule with its gleaming yellow surfaces. Population: 14 in 69, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P1)
Presidential Dollars
2007 $1 Thomas Jefferson--Missing Edge Lettering--MS66 PCGS. By the time of third President's turn in the Presidential dollar series, the Mint had greatly reduced the unintended release of plain edge examples. Jefferson dollars without edge lettering are much scarcer than their George Washington equivalents. Also of significance, the present coin has dazzling luster and a near-absence of marks.
Commemorative Silver

1893 25C Isabella Quarter MS65 NGC. An attractively toned and highly lustrous Gem.

Powerful satiny luster graces both sides and highlights the sharply defined design elements.(

1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS63 PCGS. Duvall 1-B. Light golden toning over soft but pleasing luster. Several light abrasions on Washington's portrait contribute to the grade. Still, a fundamentally attractive example of this famous commemorative issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS63 PCGS. DuVall 1-B. Light almond-gold toning invigorates this lustrous and precisely struck silver dollar. The surfaces are surprisingly free from bagmarks, but careful rotation reveals a few delicate parallel slide marks on the portrait of Washington.(
Registry values: N1793)
1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS63 NGC. DuVall 2-C. Actually struck in 1899, the Lafayette Memorial dollar is the first commemorative silver dollar. The present coin is a pleasing Select example with gray and steel-blue toning. Well struck from hand-made dies.(

1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS64 PCGS. DuVall 2-C. A slightly better die pairing with a recut second S in STATES and second A in AMERICA.

Registry values: N1793)
1900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS65 PCGS Secure. DuVall 2-C. This is a simply top-drawer example of the Lafayette commemorative silver dollar that will never need replacing in some fortunate bidder's collection. Marvelous original color on each side consists of lovely rose-pink in the centers, radiating outward to delicate jade-green. A loupe reveals no contact at all, only interesting small die cracks around the peripheral letters on each side. PCGS has certified 83 representatives finer (4/10).(

1921 50C Alabama 2x2 MS66 PCGS. CAC. An uncommonly well-preserved example of the more elusive '2x2' Alabama commemorative variant, softly lustrous beneath rich layers of green-gold, blue, and violet patina. Minor striking softness is as usually seen, but the impressive preservation on each side is far above the norm. Population: 69 in 66, 5 finer (4/10).(

1937 50C Antietam MS66 NGC. An interesting Civil War-related commemorative, with an actual day date of September 17, 1862, rather than the traditional annual date. The present coin is a spectacular Premium Gem, with intricate detail on all design elements and pristine brilliant surfaces.(

1937 50C Antietam MS67 NGC. The tab-toned obverse displays blended orange, apple-green, and crimson across much of its periphery. The reverse exhibits only light caramel-gold and slate patina. A lustrous and unmarked Superb Gem of this popular Civil War type.(

1935/34-S 50C Boone MS67 PCGS. While the Philadelphia 1935/1934 is a common coin and can be used for type purposes, the D- and S-mints are keys to the Boone series, with only 2,000 pieces struck of each. This 1935/34-S piece is one of the finest survivors of that tiny mintage. The lustrous surfaces are lightly and evenly toned over each side, although of slightly different colors, mostly silver-white to powder-gray with a touch of cinnamon near the rims. Population: 15 in 67, 2 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1936 50C Boone MS67 NGC. Deep orange, ruby, and russet shadings grace the reverse border, but the majority of this lustrous Superb Gem is only gently toned cream-gray. The year 1936 broke the budget of many commemorative collectors, since dozens of different varieties were issued that year. NGC has graded just four numerically finer examples (4/10).(

1936-D 50C Columbia MS67 PCGS. CAC. Lovely light to medium peach-red and lime-green toning embraces this lustrous and fully struck Superb Gem. Many commemorative types were issued in 1936, but the Columbia is among the scarcest, since the mintage was divided into separately collected PDS issues.(

1892 50C Columbian MS66 PCGS. CAC. Light traces of green and lavender toning visit the surfaces of this delightful Premium Gem commemorative. The finely detailed design elements complement the delicate interplay of color to produce intense visual appeal.(

1892 50C Columbian MS67 ★
NGC. While Columbian commemorative halves can be located in most Mint State grades with little difficulty, specimens in the lofty grade of Superb Gem are extremely rare, especially those few designated with the NGC Star. Radiantly lustrous surfaces covered in exquisite cobalt-blue, lavender, and gold-orange toning invigorate the present offering. The design elements are sharply impressed, including all of the continental outlines. Close inspection reveals the coin to be remarkably abrasion-free. Census: 13 in 67

1893 50C Columbian MS66 NGC. CAC. This gorgeous Premium Gem has frosty silver luster at the centers, with a frame of lovely iridescent toning on each side. Highly attractive, this is coin with excellent eye appeal. NGC has only certified 27 finer pieces (4/10).(

1928 50C Hawaiian--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. Light rub crosses the high points, and surfaces largely devoid of luster show hairlines from a past cleaning. A few touches of greenish-gold toning are present at the lower reverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1928 50C Hawaiian MS64 NGC. CAC. The Hawaiian is not only a popular key coin within the commemorative silver half series, it also is one of the issues in the series that
also has an attractive design, something that collectors would not say about some of the coins in the series. These could properly be called Hawaiian Sesquicentennial halves, as they mark the 150th anniversary of Captain James Cook's "discovery" of the Sandwich Islands. This near-Gem boasts attractive frosty silver-white patina with a touch of color near the rims. Marks are minimal for the grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1928 50C Hawaiian MS65 NGC. Unlike many Hawaiian halves, this piece is brilliant over each side and lacks the often-seen greenish patina. The mint luster is satiny and bright, and each side is remarkably free from the marks that usually accompany these pieces. This low-mintage commemorative has been considered a key to the series since issuance.(
Registry values: N2998)
1925 50C Lexington MS66 PCGS. CAC. This virtually pristine silver commemorative has only a whisper of gold toning, along with a solitary pinpoint gray freckle above the second C in CONCORD. The minuteman motif was resurrected 75 years later for the Massachusetts statehood quarter.(
Registry values: N1793)
1925 50C Lexington MS66 PCGS. Minimally toned with outstanding silver-white luster. Well struck with just a few small marks away from the prime focal areas. PCGS has graded a mere nine finer examples (4/10).(

1921 50C Missouri 2x4 MS63 PCGS. Better-defined than usually seen on the obverse, but the usual reverse softness is noted on the frontiersman's shoulder. Peach and gold toning lies lightly over the border-zones, while the centers are brighter silver.(

Registry values: N1793)
1936 50C Norfolk MS68 PCGS. CAC. A delightful Superb Gem example, strongly toned at the margins with near-brilliant centers. The obverse has tan and gold colors, while the reverse offers deeper violet hues.(
Registry values: N1793)
1925 Medal Norse Thin Planchet MS66 NGC. This Thin Planchet Norse medal shows some interesting strike doubling on the upper legends and Viking warrior. This medal is collected alongside the classic commemorative half dollars, but Bowers nonetheless sticks to the letter of the law, excluding it entirely from his commemorative coins Guide Book, since it is not a "coin" per se. This Premium Gem has light golden tinges over mostly silver-white surfaces with good eye appeal.
1926-S 50C Oregon MS67 PCGS. CAC. Beautiful rainbow toning invigorates the upper obverse margin with narrow arcs of fire-red, honey-gold, and sea-green. Light golden-brown toning clings to other peripheral areas. Unabraded, and well struck save for the back edge of the wagon. Population: 95 in 67, 4 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)

1915-S 50C Panama-Pacific MS64 PCGS. Well struck for a Panama-Pacific half but with a measure of the usual peripheral softness. Small marks on the woman's arms contribute to the grade, though rich peach and gold peripheral toning lends this near-Gem considerable eye appeal.(
Registry values: N1793)
1915-S 50C Panama-Pacific MS64 NGC. Satiny and well struck with a faint overlay of tan-gold on each side. The reverse is essentially pristine, and the obverse is nearly as clean aside from a single thin mark near the N in PANAMA.

1915-S 50C Panama-Pacific MS65 PCGS.

1915-S 50C Panama-Pacific MS66 PCGS. This pleasing Premium Gem is edge-toned like many of its Panama-Pacific brethren, with bands of blue, peach-tan, and gold more prominent and colorful on the obverse. The centers and most of the major devices remain resolutely silver-gray. Strong luster throughout and careful preservation add up to impressive eye appeal. PCGS has certified 79 coins finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1936 50C Rhode Island MS66 Prooflike NGC. CAC. Little is known about Prooflike Rhode Island halves. The distribution of these pieces was so fraught with cronyism it is no wonder that records are not extant for special strikings. Nevertheless, they do exist, although proofs apparently do not. How many exist is open to question, and is probably best indicated by the number certified. This is a wonderful example. The fields are brightly mirrored and the devices do not show any contrasting mint frost, resembling the proofs struck between 1902 and 1905. Both sides are completely brilliant and dazzling, and the devices lack the usually seen abrasions. Census: nine in MS66, with none finer at (5/10).
1936-S 50C Rhode Island MS67 PCGS. CAC. A silky-smooth Rhode Island half with pale lilac and pastel-rose obverse toning, intensifying several shades on the reverse into orange, green, and bright carmine iridescence. A one-of-a-kind example that is bound to excite the toned commemorative enthusiast. Population: 14 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1936-S 50C Rhode Island MS62 Prooflike NGC. Here is a wonderful Rhode Island half dollar that exhibits prooflike surfaces beneath light golden-brown and iridescent toning. Commemorative half dollars with prooflike surfaces are elusive and desirable.
1926 50C Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. CAC. Attractively toned in peach, rose, and apple-green shades. This lustrous Gem has only inconsequential post-strike contact, although the centers retain traces of the planchet surface, as invariably seen on this conditionally challenging type.(
Registry values: N2998)
1926 50C Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. Deeply variegated golden-brown, apple-green, and ruby-red patina encompasses this shimmering and minimally abraded Gem. The only commemorative type (so far) featuring Calvin Coolidge. Certified in a green label holder. PCGS has graded only eight pieces finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1926 50C Sesquicentennial MS66 NGC. CAC. Both the Sesquicentennial half dollar and quarter eagle were struck in low relief. The original design for the half dollar, by Mint chief engraver John Sinnock, was rejected by the overseeing authority of the Sesquicentennial Association, which had the audacity to submit design sketches from a local attorney for translation into models. Most of the 1 million-plus half dollars subsequently coined went unsold and were melted. This Condition Census example offers outstanding mint luster, with pale rose, lilac, and yellow iridescent toning over each side. The surfaces are remarkably clean and attractive. Census: 17 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).(

1925 50C Stone Mountain MS67 PCGS. Light but distinctive green-gold and silver-blue shadings wash over each side of this Superb Gem Stone Mountain half. Strong luster shines through the patina, and the strike is generally pleasing if not absolutely sharp. PCGS has graded six finer examples (4/10).(

Registry values: N1793)
1946-D 50C Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. The 1946-D Booker T. Washington issue is neither fish nor fowl, as both its original mintage--200,113 coins--and its net distribution--estimated by Bowers at 50,000--put it in the middle ground between the 1946-P issue, most common in the series, and the later series issues that are seldom encountered and pricier at the Superb Gem level. This coin displays a nearly untoned reverse combined with delicate rose-gold patina covering the obverse. An issue seldom seen finer. Census: 54 in 67, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1946-S 50C Booker T. Washington MS67 PCGS. Splendid forest-green and crimson-red toning ensures the eye appeal of this satiny and unabraded Superb Gem. An important acquisition for the connoisseur of patinated silver. Population: 48 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

Registry values: N1793)
1951-D 50C Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. A shining Superb Gem example of this final-year BTW half, toned gold to orange at the obverse margins with paler canary-yellow at the peripheral reverse. Silver centers host well-defined devices, and Washington's portrait shows surprisingly little planchet roughness. Census: 31 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1951-S 50C Booker T. Washington MS66 Prooflike NGC. An absolutely incredible Booker T. Washington half dollar with fully prooflike surfaces, bold design features, and hints of peripheral gold and iridescent toning. Worth a substantial premium over a normal MS66 example.
1954-D 50C Washington-Carver MS66 PCGS. The lustrous surfaces exhibit freckles of golden-brown that are more prevalent on the reverse. A well executed strike brings excellent definition to the design features. Uncommon quality for this final year classic commemorative. Population: 26 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).

1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson MS66 PCGS Secure. This first commemorative gold dollar does commemorate an actual centennial, that of the monumental Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803. This Premium Gem offers bountiful luster with orange-gold and hazel tints at the rims. Only a few minuscule contacts seem to preclude an even finer trade. PCGS has certified 70 examples finer (5/10).(

1903 G$1 Louisiana Purchase/McKinley MS64 NGC. CAC. A boldly impressed near-Gem example of this commemorative gold dollar issue, smooth with rich butter-yellow luster. One of two varieties issued for the Exposition, the other depicting Thomas Jefferson.(

Registry values: N1793)
1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 NGC. There are few actual marks on this coin, but there is just the most minor dimming of the luster in the fields, and some orange-peel effect appears under a few of the letters on each side. The areas closest to the rim, however, show considerable prooflike reflectivity, and the eye appeal is quite high nonetheless, since a good loupe is required to observe the effects described above. The pretty orange-gold surfaces are a plus.(
Registry values: N2998)
1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. "Jugate" is the term for two overlapping heads on a coin, medal, or escutcheon, but on the 1904-1905 Lewis and Clarks, the heads are on opposite sides of the coins, and there is no tails side. This attractive yellow-gold and lilac near-Gem example shows only a couple of hair-thin marks on one side that likely keep it from an even finer grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1904 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS65 NGC. A delightful example of this popular "two-headed" classic gold commemorative from the first year of the design. Both portraits are impressively detailed, and the luster is attractive with a mix of cartwheels and satin. The color is generally yellow but also incorporates green-gold and orange accents.(
Registry values: N4719)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS61 NGC. Luminous sun-yellow surfaces show considerable dark green encrustation around the obverse lettering. Few overt abrasions for the grade assigned.(
Registry values: N1793)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS63 NGC. A satiny honey-tinged commemorative gold dollar with occasional hints of lime-green. The strike is precise save for the edges of the dentils, and neither side has remotely relevant marks.(
Registry values: N1793)
1905 G$1 Lewis and Clark MS65 NGC. The 1905 is the second and scarcer issue in this two-coin set of commemorative gold pieces. This is a lovely, upper-end example that is remarkably free from abrasions. The surfaces show soft mint frost that has reddish-gold and lilac intermingled over each side. As often seen, there is a bit of metal flow around the peripheral legends.(

1915-S $2 1/2 Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS65 NGC. Mythology and nature collide on this interesting quarter eagle issue, featuring a hippocampus and Columbia on one side, with an American eagle on the other.

1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS64 NGC. Strong yellow-gold luster is satiny with orange overtones. A well struck near-Gem that shows just a few too many wispy abrasions to qualify for a finer grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. Green-gold and orange-gold compete for territory on this lustrous and highly eye-appealing Gem Sesquicentennial quarter eagle, a coin with a fittingly sesquipedalian moniker. The low-relief half dollar and quarter eagle Sesquicentennial issues were unpopular at the time of issue, but today the gold quarter eagle is quite popular, while the silver half dollar is mostly sought by collectors seeking set completion. A few tiny contact marks are in keeping with the Gem grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. The reverse of both the Sesquicentennial half dollar and quarter eagles were by John R. Sinnock (1888-1947), a mint engraver who linked generations of such together. Among his earliest Mint work was the redesigned 1921 Morgan dollars, a collaboration with George T. Morgan (1845-1925), while Sinnock shortly before his death would engrave the Roosevelt dimes. This is a splendid antique-gold Gem with minimal marks and satiny luster. Some areas of Independence Hall deepen to mellow apricot-gold. A beautiful example of this popular commemorative gold issue, the last in the classic series.(
Registry values: N2998)
1926 $2 1/2 Sesquicentennial MS65 NGC. Even small contact marks are nearly absent on this delightful Gem Sesquicentennial, with lots of radiant luster over mellow orange-gold surfaces. The Liberty in the design with her flowing robes somehow embodies the Roaring Twenties; despite her dignity, she resembles a flapper who could toss aside her scroll and break into the Charleston in a heartbeat. This issue is quite elusive in any finer grade, where the certified populations thin by an order of magnitude.(

1999-W G$5 Tenth-Ounce Gold Eagle--Unfinished Proof Dies--MS70 PCGS. The West Point mintmark appears on this tenth-ounce gold eagle, which prior to 2006 indicates that it should have a proof finish. But instead, the fields have the satin sheen of Uncirculated bullion gold coins. A small number of such pieces were coined during the Y2K hubbub of 1999, in the five and ten dollar denominations, but the present example is distinguished by its numismatic perfection.

Coins of Hawaii

1883 50C Hawaii Half Dollar MS62 PCGS. The medium golden-russet and blue-green toning is more prominent on the obverse. This well struck single-year type coin provides potent luster and has a couple of moderate marks on the upper reverse.
GSA Dollars

1891-CC $1 MS60 NGC. Clearly jostled around during its time in storage, yet there is no trace of wear on the silver surfaces.

Registry values: P6, N491)
Errors
1903 1C Indian Cent--Struck 15% Off Center--MS65 Brown NGC. Off center toward 5 o'clock, although enough of the date is present to confirm it is 1903. Deeply toned navy-blue and apple-green with lively luster and unabraded fields. A high grade mint error of this popular design.
1885 Indian Cent--Broadstruck--PR66 Brown NGC. Beautifully detailed chocolate-brown surfaces show elegant aqua and sapphire-violet overtones. Preservation is excellent. Most distinctive about this piece is that it is an error, struck out-of-collar with the dentils substantially elongated from the norm and a crescent of unstruck surface area at the upper obverse.
1920 Lincoln Cent--40% Off-Center and Brockage Reverse--VG10 PCGS. Instead of being ejected after its strike, a 1920 cent (not the present piece) clung to the reverse die. It likely also blocked the collar die. A new planchet (the present piece) was then fed off-center (at 2 o'clock) between the dies, and was struck by the obverse die and the obverse of the previously struck cent. The reverse of this lot would be a perfect brockage, except it is widely off center, and was presumably carried as a pocket piece by its fortunate finder. An attractive medium brown off center brockage with a few minor specks of verdigris.
1973-D Lincoln Cent--Obverse Die Break--MS63 Brown NGC. A catastrophic die failure has made the back of Lincoln's portrait and all design elements to the left a shapeless mass. The reverse is also affected, with a void where the design should have been.
1996 1C Lincoln Cent--Struck on a 1995-P Dime--MS64 PCGS. The entire date from the 1995-P dime is clearly visible, and the 96 of the date from the Lincoln cent is also clearly visible. This Choice Mint State piece has its full nickel-gray brilliance. Both sides are dramatic, with Lincoln visible on top of FDR, and the leaves from the dime reverse visible above and below the Lincoln memorial.
1996 1C Lincoln Cent--Double Denomination on a 1996-P Dime--MS64 NGC. A lustrous silver-white example of this popular mint error category. The 96 in the cent date is evident, as is the dime mintmark and much of the dime date, located near 9 o'clock on the reverse. Roosevelt gazes northeast relative to the Lincoln Memorial.
2000 1C Lincoln Cent--Double Denomination on a 2000-P Dime--MS67 NGC. The dime date is legible although faint near Lincoln's shoulder. The Philadelphia mintmark is clear on Lincoln's vest. The portrait of Roosevelt gazes northwest relative to Lincoln. Lustrous and well preserved with little indication of toning.
Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent--Triple Struck, All Strikes Off-Center--MS64 Red and Brown NGC. This piece was first struck off-center toward 3 o'clock on the obverse, with two more strikes farther to the right. Lightly spotted surfaces show a range of colors, from reddish-orange to pale olive and blue, rose, and violet.
Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent--Broadstruck with Obverse Indent--MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Bright copper and deeper reddish-violet hues dominate this lustrous error. Rather than a rim, this piece has broad unstruck areas surrounding the design. An indent that affects the obverse is perfectly placed to obscure the date area.
1852 3CS Three Cent Silver--Mirror Brockage on Reverse--VF20 NGC. The reverse of this coin is a full brockage, with incused and reversed legends and devices. This error was caused when a coin (not this one) clung to the reverse die after it was struck. The present piece was then fed between that coin and the obverse die. It has since toned silver-gray, and is unmarked from its 19th century stint in circulation.
1919 Buffalo Nickel--Struck on a Cent Planchet--MS61 Brown NGC. 3.06 gm. The date is fully visible and so is the mintmark space, although this Philadelphia Mint product lacks a mintmark. The surfaces are yellowish-brown with a few tiny carbon flecks on each side. An intriguing wrong-denomination error in one of the nation's most popular denominations and designs.
2000-D 5C Jefferson Nickel--Double Denomination on a 2000-D Cent--MS66 Red NGC. The cent date and mintmark are readily evident near the M in MONTICELLO. The nickel date and mintmark are complete and clear. A lustrous orange-red Premium Gem with no marks or spots.
2007-D SMS Roosevelt Dime--Obverse Die Cap--MS68 NGC. A dramatic obverse die cap of recent vintage, rendered unusual by the distinctly satiny texture of the fields surrounding Roosevelt. Razor-sharp detail with a prominent split close to 9 o'clock as reckoned by the obverse, while the reverse is flattened out into near-unrecognizability.
Undated D-Mint Washington Quarter--Struck on a Cent Planchet--MS64 PCGS. The obverse mintmark and the types indicate this coin was struck between 1968 and 1998. PCGS does not provide a color designation, but perhaps Red and Brown is correct, although the pumpkin-gold surfaces have mellowed in lilac shades. Some reeding is present along the right edge, and the centering favors the portrait with the date fully absent. Struck from worn dies that provide an orange peel texture.
1951 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Blank--MS63 Full Bell Lines NGC. 6.3 gm. The wrong planchet half dollar is uncentered toward 12 o'clock, with all of LIBERTY and nearly all of the denomination off the flan. A thin strike-through near 3 o'clock on the obverse provides a secondary mint error. Lustrous and unabraded with a blush of lavender, golden-brown, and navy-blue toning on the lower reverse margin.
1952 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--AU58 NGC. 6.2 gm. This wrong planchet error is uncentered toward 7:30. All of UNITED STATES OF and IN GOD WE are off the flan, while the right borders have partial rims and reeding. Just enough of the mintmark area is present to confirm that the coin was made in Philadelphia.
1952-D 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--AU58 NGC. 6.2 gm. A whisper of friction on the cheekbone and PASS AND STOW confirms momentary circulation, but the satin luster is comprehensive, and there are no evident abrasions. This Franklin half was struck on a planchet intended for a Washington quarter, which results in incomplete peripheral legends that stretch toward the rim.
1954 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--AU58 NGC. 6.4 gm, slightly heavier than the typical 6.25 gm silver quarter dollar planchet. Mint luster dominates this nearly friction-free Franklin half. The surfaces are unabraded and display only faint almond-gold toning. Uncentered toward 5 o'clock, with much of TRUST and AMERICA off the flan.
1956 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS63 NGC. 6.2 gm. This lustrous half dollar wrong planchet error has faint golden toning. It is uncentered toward 10 o'clock, with all of UNITED, LIBERTY, and IN off the flan. The fields display light raised die lines, from an attempt to remove clashmarks which are nonetheless evident through E PLURIBUS UNUM.
1957 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Blank--MS64 NGC. 6.2 gm. The portrait of Franklin and the Liberty Bell are intact, while the legends near the borders are only partly present. This brilliant near-Gem has a full date and is without any noticeable marks.
1958 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS64 NGC. 6.2 gm. Type One Reverse. Light gold toning visits this smooth and lustrous mint error. TRUST and other peripheral legends are spread toward the rim. Uncentered toward 12 o'clock with LIBERTY and HALF DOLLAR off the flan, characteristic of this wrong planchet combination.
1958-D 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Blank--MS62 NGC. 6.3 gm. Despite the undersized flan, the strike is sharp at the centers. The borders are uneven and show characteristic spreading. Uncentered toward 12 o'clock with all of LIBERTY and most of HALF DOLLAR off the flan. Satiny, smooth, and lightly toned.
1958-D 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS64 Full Bell Lines NGC. 6.25 gm. The centering (toward 2:30) favors the portrait of Franklin, which is virtually intact, as is the eagle, Liberty Bell, and mintmark. All but a small portion of the date is present. Lustrous and lightly toned olive-gray. It may be possible to accumulate a date and mint collection of Franklin half dollars on quarter planchets, and the present auction provides a remarkable opportunity for a head start on such an ambitious project.(
Registry values: N14)
1959 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Blank--AU58 NGC. 6.2 gm. Type One Reverse. Light steel-gray and caramel-gold toning graces the satiny and unmarked surfaces. PASS AND STOW and other highpoints display only a whisper of wear. Moderately uncentered toward 1 o'clock with about half of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA present.
1960 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS64 NGC. 6.25 gm. Light honey-gold toning graces the reverse border of this semi-prooflike wrong planchet mint error. The upper obverse and lower reverse legends are mostly absent due to the undersized flan. The right obverse field displays moderate but inconspicuous abrasions.
1960-D 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS63 Full Bell Lines NGC. 6.3 gm. Evidence of a raised rim is especially strong near the ST in STATES. This highly lustrous and virtually brilliant wrong planchet error is minimally abraded and has a full date. Uncentered toward 1:30 with LIBERTY and most of the denomination absent.
1961 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Blank--MS62 NGC. 6.2 gm. Satiny and brilliant with clean surfaces aside from a minor vertical mark on the bell. The centering is off toward 10 o'clock, with all of LIBERTY and most of HALF DOLLAR missing. The fields are striated due to polished dies, as made.
1961-D 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Blank--MS62 NGC. 6.3 gm. The present auction provides an unusual opportunity to obtain many different Franklin half dollar dates struck on quarter dollar blanks or planchets. The date and mintmark are complete, while LIBERTY and most of the denomination are off the flan. Untoned and luster with minor marks on the jaw.
1962-D 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Planchet--MS64 NGC. 6.3 gm. An essentially brilliant representative of this scarce wrong planchet type, of which the consignor has accumulated a surprising number of issues within the series. A lustrous near-Gem with smooth fields and minute contact on the bell.
1963-D 50C Franklin Half--Struck on a Quarter Blank--MS63 NGC. 6.2 gm. This wrong planchet half dollar has an additional mint error: an interesting pair of slender strike-throughs that overlap above the Liberty bell. A final year Franklin half with light gold toning, clean surfaces, and unencumbered luster.
Undated SBA$ Susan B. Anthony Dollar--Broadstruck on a Scrap Planchet--MS64 NGC. 2.6 grams. Despite minor spots and discoloration, this is a delightful example, and the strike is well centered on the scrap, with nearly all of Anthony's head visible on the obverse and the entire eagle on the reverse.
2000-P $1 Sacagawea Dollar--Struck Four Times, 3rd and 4th Strike 50% Off Center--MS64 PCGS. The first strike was normal, but the piece failed to eject, and instead rotated a few degrees clockwise before its second strike. The coin was then only partially ejected, and was struck a third time, widely off center toward 8 o'clock, and at 8 o'clock relative to the first two strikes. The fourth and final strike was in a similar position but shifted slightly southward. Four dates and mintmarks are visible, although the date from the third strike is faint. Lustrous and cup-shaped with attractive orange, rose, and ice-blue toning.
1910 $10 Indian Eagle--Obverse Struck Through--NGC. NGC does not provide a grade for this unusual Indian ten, although we suggest AU55 given the slight friction on the left edge of the wing, and on Liberty's forehead beneath the B in LIBERTY. The reverse provides essentially complete luster. Obverse luster is plentiful but diminished on the open field and portrait highpoints. The obverse die was presumably covered with a layer of grease at the time of the strike, causing a mushy strike on the date and obverse center.
Washingtonia
(1790) Washington Before Boston Medal in Bronze--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc. Baker-47B. 68.8 mm. This largest of the Comitia Americana medals has been restruck numerous times in its history, but this example is one of the bronze originals. Diagnostics from Rulau-Fuld, Medallic Portraits of Washington: "On all originals, the O in PRIMO is perfectly round ... There are periods after XVII. and MDCCLXXVI. The last I of MARTII is under the R of RECUPERATUM." Scattered light abrasions and hairlines from a past cleaning do little to dull this medal's inherent majesty.
Session 3
So-Called Dollars
1826 Erie Canal Completion--Environmental Damage--NGC Details. AU. HK-1. White metal, 45 mm. The Erie Canal Completion medal marks the opening of the famous artificial waterway that served 19th century commerce for many decades. This white metal piece has considerable light gray luster with ebony patina. Some brownish discoloration is evident on the reverse.
1896 Bryan Dollar AU58 NGC. HK-779. A silversmith Bryan dollar made by Tiffany & Co., as noted on the reverse. The obverse bears the inscription, "823 / Grains of Silver / 900/1000 Fine / The Equivalent of / One Gold Dollar / in Value / Sept 14 1896." Lightly worn with deep violet-gray and gold-gray surfaces.
Gold Charms
1872-Dated California Gold Charm MS63 NGC. 0.20 gm. An octagonal gold charm bearing a left-facing portrait of Washington on the obverse. The reverse has CALIFORNIA GOLD / CHARM around the fraction 1/4.
Proof Sets
Uncertified Five-Piece 1941 Proof Set. The cent has fully brilliant orange mint luster while the other coins are all fully brilliant with deeply mirrored fields. This is a great looking set housed in its original box of issue.
Five Early 1950s Proof Sets. Contains two 1950 sets and one set each from 1951, 1952, and 1953. All sets come with their original small government boxes and show packaging toning, light to moderate on most coins with the cents Red and Brown.
Eight Early 1950s Proof Sets. Includes one 1950 set, three 1951 sets, one 1952 set, two 1953 sets, and one 1954 set. Toning varies but is generally light to moderate with Red to Red and Brown cents the rule.
1950-53 Boxed Proof Sets. Four sets in their original boxes and plastic wraps as issued. Each of the sets are attractive and brilliant, with some slight spotting on a few coins in the 1950 set. Slight cameo contrast is evident on a few coins, although no coins have sufficient contrast for a Cameo designation. This is a desirable grouping of original sets, seldom seen in today's marketplace.
Nine 1954 Proof Sets. All sets in government boxes. Toning is variable but generally light, with the cents on the Red side of Red and Brown. Minor flyspecks and carbon on certain coins.
Mint Sets
Nine Mint Sets of the 1950s and 1960s. Nine single mint sets, eight from 1951 to 1958, the last from 1961, all in kraft envelopes. Toning varies, but moderate peripheral toning is most commonly seen. Many envelopes bear handwritten notes.
Patterns
1838 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-72, Pollock-75, R.5, PR64 PCGS. CAC. 192.13 grains. Believed to have been designed by William Kneass but probably executed by Christian Gobrecht. This half dollar design features a draped bust of Liberty facing left with stars on the left and right, date below. The reverse shows a stately drop-wing eagle without shield. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Originals and restrikes are known of this pattern. The lighter weight pieces, such as this one, are restrikes and are believed to have been produced after 1853. The fields are nicely reflective and each side displays moderate gray-rose toning with minimal hairlines.
1838 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-73 Restrike, Pollock-77, R.5, PR64 PCGS. On the obverse a bust of Liberty faces left with seven stars to the left and six to the right. Liberty wears a diadem and a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY. The date is below the bust. On the reverse an eagle flies in a plain field with the statutory legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, and the denomination HALF DOLLAR below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The reverse shows the usual pie-shaped die cracks, an indication this is a restrike from later decades (1850s through 1870s). Both obverse and reverse have a significant presence of gunmetal gray toning, but when angled properly the depth of mirrors is evident.
1852 PG$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-140, Pollock-167, Low R.7, PR65 PCGS. CAC. The simple obverse design consists of the legend USA above and 1852 below. The reverse features a circle of olive sprigs. Struck on an annular copper-nickel planchet with a plain edge. The annular pattern was one of the proposed solutions to the problem of the undersized and easily lost gold dollar. The large center perforation (as struck) and narrow margin forces a simple design. Curiously, no denomination is stated. Medium golden-brown color enriches the unperturbed, well-struck surfaces.
1854 E1C One Cent, Judd-157, Pollock-185, High R.7, PR64 PCGS. 51.08 grains. 61% copper, 26% nickel. 12% zinc. The obverse is derived from a Seated dollar obverse die, but crudely reduced by a circular lathe to the diameter of a contemporary half cent. The 4 in the date resembles a 1 because of the blurry reduction. On the reverse, 1 CENT is encircled by an oak and acorn wreath. Struck with a reeded edge in a German silver alloy with the combination stated above (and printed on the insert). Several compositions are known of this pattern, and only a few examples have been subjected to metallurgical analysis. The surfaces are remarkably bright and silver-like with a slight presence of hazy gray patina. Each side is relatively problem-free, which is significant when one considers the crude method used to produce these pieces.
1854 P1C One Cent, Judd-161 Original, Pollock-187, R.4, PR58 PCGS. 94.90 grains. 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. The chocolate-brown surfaces show only slight reflectivity in the fields. The devices are slightly brighter from apparent handling or having been carried as a pocket piece.
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168 Original, Pollock-193, R.4--Recolored--ANACS. PR60 Details. 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. Each side shows slight evidence of die clashing around the central devices. While recolored, the surfaces are attractive with reddish-yellow and brown colors intermingled over each side. Minimal marks are evident.
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168 Original, Pollock-193, R.4, PR61 Brown PCGS. 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 falls between large cents and the adopted small cents. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. A blue-accented brown example with a few carbon spots noted at the stars and date. Though hairlined in the fields, the coin is fundamentally pleasing. Housed in a green label holder.
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-173, Pollock-198, Low R.7, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. 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 laurel wreath with two leaves below the E in STATES. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Generally this pattern is not found with red color, and this coin has about as much as can be found. The surfaces are bright and there is much yellow in the centers with splashes of red and brown mostly around the margins. The surfaces are pleasing for the grade with no mentionable defects.
1859 1C Indian Cent, Judd-228, Pollock-272, R.1, MS65 NGC. CAC. The famous transitional cent with the design as adopted in 1860, but here dated 1859. These pieces were struck in both proof and business strike format. The 1859 patterns of this design have the oak wreath with shield design on the reverse, with the regular Indian cent obverse. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. USPatterns.com states: "Metallurgical analysis is recommended as color inspection which is often used is unreliable." However, there is no mistaking the composition of this piece. Each side is bright and the colors are pale blue and rose, not colors normally seen on copper coins. The reverse fields certainly seem deep enough for designation as a proof, but the obverse does show some cartwheel luster.
1863 1C One Cent, Judd-299, Pollock-359, Snow-PT1, R.3, MS63 Brown PCGS. CAC. A transitional variety; similar to the 1864 No L bronze cent but dated 1863, when all regular issue cents were copper-nickel. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. Medallic alignment of the dies. While deeply toned overall, there is significant cherry-red and emerald-green color on each side with flashy mirrors in the fields.
1865 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-425, Pollock-497, High R.6, PR64 PCGS. 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. The surfaces are deeply mirrored with a few minor contact marks scattered in the fields. Each side shows light gray-rose toning.
1865 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-426, Pollock-498, Low R.7, PR66 Brown NGC. Similar to the adopted design of 1866, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST has been placed on a scroll in the reverse field above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Chocolate-brown toning transforms to electric-blue and violet-red when this wonderfully preserved example is rotated beneath a light. A vibrant Gem worthy of a close look and a strong bid.
1865 50C Half Dollar, Judd-430, Pollock-503, High R.6, PR67 Brown Cameo NGC. Regular die trials issue. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is the so-called "transitional" half dollar that uses the reverse of 1866-1891. These and the other With Motto patterns of this date and also 1863 and 1864 are actually restrikes made circa 1869 and into the early 1870s, and were offered along with restrikes of other denominations in complete sets. According to Saul Teichman and the USPatterns.com website, the first definite sales occurrence for an 1865 With Motto set was in the October 1870 Mason & Company sale of the Fewsmith Collection. A possible earlier listing may be Cogan's September 1869 sale. This is an absolutely stunning example of this die trial. The fields are deeply mirrored on each side and rich turquoise toning covers both obverse and reverse with a brownish-purple coloration apparent in the fields at certain angles. Defect-free to the unaided eye, a magnifier reveals a few randomly placed die polishing marks in the fields, as one might expect from a proof striking. This is the finest Judd-430 certified not only as a Brown Cameo, but in any color on a copper variant of this pattern.
1865 50C Half Dollar, Judd-432, Pollock-505, Low R.7, PR65 Brown NGC. Both obverse and reverse dies were used for regular-issue coinage in 1865. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. As we stated in the catalog for the Lemus patterns (1/2009): Traditionally, Judd-432 has been listed as a die trials issue, but there was no intent to change the design or metal composition of the Seated Liberty half; the only planned change was the introduction of the motto, as occurred in 1866, and in any case it is missing here. Like many off-metal strikings, it is possible that this issue was actually produced by Mint employees for sale to collectors. USPatterns.com estimates a population of a half-dozen survivors.
This is a lovely piece with muted brown, blue, and scarlet color. The fields show the usual die striations, and there are no mentionable contact marks on this Gem.
1868 H10C Half Dime, Judd-638, Pollock-710, Low R.6, PR65 NGC. Regular dies trial striking of the 1868 half dime, but struck in nickel alloy with a plain edge. At first glance this looks like a silver half dime. But close examination shows heavy die striations in the fields, as often seen on patterns. Also, there is just a bit of high point softness on the obverse. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and there is an unmistakable but unacknowledged contrast between the depth of mirroring in the fields and the thick mint frost over the devices. Slight evidence of die clashing and a few tiny specks of carbon are seen on each side.
1868 G$1 Gold Dollar, Judd-653, Pollock-726, Low R.7, PR65 NGC. Ex: Pittman. The regular dies trial piece for the gold dollar. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. According to the USPatterns website: "These were deliberately struck to show how easily aluminum coined ..." Only a half-dozen pieces are believed known today and this is the first we have a record of offering at public auction. The surfaces are unspotted, and the brilliance is only tempered by slight hazy streakiness over both sides. A splendid example of this rarity.
Ex: Private purchase from Empire Coin Co. (8/9/1961) for $125; Lenox Lohr (10/1956).
1869 10C Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-696, Pollock-775, R.5, PR64 Cameo NGC. Liberty is adorned with three large stars, and the motto is displayed in a banner beneath the bust. The reverse has 10 CENTS in the center, surrounded by a thick wreath of oak and laurel. STANDARD SILVER is across the upper reverse border, and the date fills the exergue. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This fairly common dime pattern is well preserved with brilliant surfaces throughout and deeply mirrored fields. Close examination reveals a few wispy hairlines.
1870 10C Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-828, Pollock-918, High R.6, PR65 Brown NGC. Attributed to William Barber, the obverse depicts a seated figure of Liberty facing left and supporting a shield in her right hand, an olive branch in her left. A free-standing liberty pole is present behind the shield. On the reverse 10 CENTS is within a wreath of cotton and corn, with the inscription STANDARD above. Struck in copper with a plain edge. The USPatterns.com website states that about a dozen examples are known of this pattern, but we estimate that fewer pieces may actually exist. The copper composition of this piece is not immediately apparent as both sides have taken on a deep blue patina. It is only on the reverse that a few traces of original red can still be seen. The fields are deeply mirrored, the devices are fully brought up throughout, and there are no mentionable contact marks.
1870 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-884, Pollock-982, R.7, PR66 Red and Brown NGC. Liberty is seated facing left, supporting a shield with her right hand. Her left hand holds an olive branch. The obverse border has 13 stars, and the date is in the exergue. A free-standing Liberty pole is in the background. The reverse is from a regular-issue Liberty Seated quarter dollar die. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. About a dozen pieces are known of this William Barber pattern. The surfaces are impressive with deep blue fields on the obverse that are red elsewhere, and on the reverse red, blue, and yellow-golden toning is several shades deeper than the obverse. This is the finest certified of this scarce pattern.
1870 50C Half Dollar, Judd-933, Pollock-1039, Low R.7, PR65 NGC. William Barber's Seated Liberty design, interesting for its placement of the shield behind her legs which is supported with her right hand. She holds an olive branch in her left. A liberty pole is behind the shield and a scroll crosses the shield and is inscribed LIBERTY in incused letters. The reverse is the type used for regular issue Seated halves. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Iridescent peach, electric-blue, and orange-rose colors are seen over this flashy Gem. A needle-sharp, gorgeous, and undisturbed representative that will make an outstanding contribution to the advanced collection of a pattern specialist.
1870 50C Half Dollar, Judd-934, Pollock-1040, Low R.7, PR65 NGC. William Barber's seated figure of Liberty faces left on the obverse. Thirteen stars surround Liberty with the date below. Liberty supports a shield with her right hand, and holds an olive branch in her left hand. A liberty pole is behind the shield, a scroll crosses the shield and is inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters. The reverse is the type used for regular issue Seated halves. Struck in silver with a plain edge. This is one of the finest of the dozen or so believed known today. The reverse has magnificent electric-blue, ruby-red, and gold colors, while the obverse features radiant orange and aqua-gray patina. A splendidly struck and carefully preserved Gem.
1870 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-970, Pollock-1081, R.8, PR63 Cameo NGC. Judd's "Obverse 2 of 1869" with LIBERTY in raised letters and no designer's initial. The reverse is Standard Silver with the word CENTS gently curving and two ornamental stars flanking the date of 1870. Struck in silver with a plain edge. One of just two examples certified by NGC (the other a PR64) for this exceedingly rare issue, one which the most recent edition of Judd (2009) has selling last at auction all the way back in 1984. The present piece is flashy and distinctly contrasted through light toning that has golden accents against pale silver-gray. Well-defined and entirely appealing despite a handful of scattered hairlines.
1871 10C Ten Cents, Judd-1085, Pollock-1221, R.7, PR64 Red and Brown NGC. The Longacre-derived obverse features Liberty seated wearing an Indian headdress with left hand resting on a globe, right hand holding a pole with cap on top, and conjoined flags behind. The reverse is from the regular issue Seated dime dies. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. At least half a dozen examples are known, most of which are PR64 or finer. This is a splendid, deeply mirrored piece. We are having a hard time finding the brown on either side, it appears full red to us. A few small carbon spots are scattered over both obverse and reverse, but there are virtually no contact marks.
1873 T$1 Trade Dollar, Judd-1281, Pollock-1423, R.4, PR62 NGC. The Bailly design, one of many in the series of 1873 Trade dollar patterns. The bust of Liberty faces left on the obverse, and her hair is coiled at the back of her head. The date 1873 is below; 13 stars ring the rim. On the reverse an eagle holds his wing open, clutching three arrows in one claw and supporting a shield with the other. A ribbon inscribed IN GOD WE TRUST transverses the shield. 420 GRAINS, 900 FINE and TRADE DOLLAR are below; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM--the latter in minuscule font--are above. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
This piece offers silver-gold surfaces with sprinkles of blue-brown patina on the obverse and pretty pinkish-gold rim toning on the reverse. There is little contrast, but the strike is strong and the eye appeal is high, despite a few hairlines in the fields.
1878 $1 Morgan Dollar, Judd-1550A, Pollock-1725, Low R.6, PR63 Cameo NGC. Both sides are similar to the adopted design, but differ in several minor areas. The most obvious are the fan-shaped leaves on the lower reverse. On the obverse the wheat ear points to the left of the R in PLURIBUS, the point of the truncation of Liberty's neck is nearer star 1, and the M for Morgan's initial is raised rather than incuse. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Probably only a half dozen of these pieces are known. There were four obverse and either two or three reverse dies that produced four varieties, all struck between December 1, 1877 and January 2, 1878. This is a brilliant example that displays deeply reflective fields with starkly contrasting frosted devices. The surfaces are lightly hairlined but present very well with no noticeable contact marks.
1879 25C Washlady Quarter Dollar, Judd-1591, Pollock-1784, Low R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. The Washlady design is attributed to Charles Barber, with Liberty's hair bound behind the head. The obverse has UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border with the date below the bust. The reverse has an eagle clutching an olive branch and three arrows. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA legend and E PLURIBUS UNUM motto follow inside the upper reverse border with the denomination expressed as QUAR. DOLLAR below. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
While ridiculed at the time of issue, the Washlady quarter has become one of the most beloved and widely collected of all patterns. The name apparently was given by David Proskey at the F.W. Doughty auction in 1891. Apparently Proskey thought Liberty's hair was disheveled and resembled that of a washlady.
The fields show exceptional depth of reflectivity in spite of the significant layers of blue, violet, and brown toning on each side. The devices also have a noticeable amount of mint frost, and the contrast between the fields and devices. The only "flaw" that we see that could be used for pedigree purposes is a J-shaped lint mark above the second A in AMERICA.
1883 5C Liberty Head Five Cents, Judd-1710, Pollock-1914, R.5, PR67 Cameo NGC. The obverse is similar to that used on regular issue 1883 Liberty nickels, but the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has been substituted for 13 stars around the periphery. The reverse is inscribed with 50 N. 50C. centered within a wreath of corn and cotton. FIVE is above, CENTS is below. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. The fields are deeply reflective with sharply contrasting frosted devices, and each side. The surfaces are mostly brilliant but when closely examined slight pastel iridescence can also be seen over each side. Exceptional quality.
Gold Dollars
1849 G$1 Open Wreath MS63 PCGS. Breen-6002. The star at 5 o'clock is widely repunched. Well-defined overall for this popular single-year subtype, though the peripheries show minor striking softness and die erosion. Satiny butter-yellow color dominates the eye appeal of this Select piece.(
Registry values: N1793)
1851-C G$1 VF35 PCGS. Variety 3. This olive-gold Choice VF Charlotte gold dollar has original color and an absence of obvious marks. The hair above the ear displays expected wear, but the star radials are generally crisp.
From The Classic Collection.(
Registry values: N991)
1851-C G$1 MS61 NGC. Variety 3. The "high date" reverse with 1851 close to DOLLAR, scarcer than the usual Variety 1. The strike is razor-sharp by Charlotte standards, and although the fields display myriad faint grazes, there are no distracting abrasions. Luster is especially prominent throughout the borders.(
Registry values: N2998)
1853 G$1 MS64 PCGS Secure. CAC. This Type One gold dollar has a yellow-gold obverse and a dusky apricot and rose reverse. Lustrous and beautifully preserved with superior eye appeal for the designated grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1853 G$1 MS64 NGC. CAC. This needle-sharp near-Gem has khaki-gold color and coruscating luster. Smooth save for a single graze above the A in DOLLAR. Mintages of gold dollars peaked in 1853, a time when the denomination was needed in circulation to replace hoarded silver coinage.(
Registry values: N1793)
1853 G$1 MS64 NGC. This sun-gold near-Gem is lustrous and lovely. No marks are remotely consequential. Fully struck except for a small strike-through on the obverse dentils near 4:30.(
Registry values: N1793)
1853-O G$1 MS64 NGC. The 1853-O is always of interest to type collectors because it is the most obtainable Type One O-mint gold dollar. This is an exceptionally attractive example. The striking details are strong on each side, and the surfaces display a rich overlay of reddish patina. The fields are bright with occasional glints of reflectivity. Census: 47 in 64, 12 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1854 G$1 Type One MS64 PCGS. A sharply struck example of this final-year Type One gold dollar issue with swirling green-gold and yellow luster. An impressive coin struck from a clashed reverse die. PCGS has graded 42 finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1855 G$1 MS62 PCGS. Canary-yellow and sun-gold surfaces glimmer with subtly reflective luster. While a measure of the design's characteristic striking softness is visible at the centers, the knot of the bow and other elements of the wreath are surprisingly sharp. Scattered wispy abrasions in the fields contribute to the grade.(
Registry values: N4719)
1855 G$1 MS62 PCGS. A lovely MS62 example of this popular type issue, part of the short-lived Type Two series. Yellow-gold centers are satiny, while the margins trend more gold-orange. Well struck for the type, though the centers show a measure of the usual softness. Clash marks contribute to the obscuring of the upper loop of the 8 in the date.(
Registry values: N4719)
1855 G$1 MS65 NGC. Type Two gold dollars were only struck for two years, in 1855 and part of 1854, aside from a small production coined in 1856 at San Francisco because of the delay in shipping dies from Philadelphia. The Type Two design is the scarcest gold type of its era, and high grade examples are especially in demand. The present Gem has smooth green-gold surfaces that display prominent clash marks characteristic of the type. The strike is precise save for the 8 in the date and the LL in DOLLAR, which are opposite the high point of Liberty's portrait. Census: 31 in 65, 15 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N7079)
1855-O G$1 AU50 NGC. This green-gold representative is only lightly abraded and has never been dipped. Luster fills design recesses. The sole New Orleans issue of the ephemeral Type Two design, which was abandoned in 1856 for a smaller diameter rendition of the three dollar piece.(
Registry values: N1793)
1859-C G$1 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The only known die pair for the 1859-C gold dollars. The Charlotte Mint was an inactive participant in the gold dollar series compared to Dahlonega, producing just eight different issues. Dahlonega minted 13 different gold dollar issues, striking examples every year from 1849 to 1861.
This near-Mint representative has a typical mushy strike, but retains frosty surfaces and nearly full mint luster. It is a delightful representative. Census: 30 in 58, 28 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1860-S G$1 AU58 PCGS. A smooth representative with the eye appeal of a higher grade. Liberty has slight friction on her cheek and the highpoints of the hair. A scant 13,000 pieces were struck, and unlike later low mintage Philadelphia issues, few examples were set aside. Population: 10 in 58, 24 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1870 G$1 MS65 NGC. With a mintage just over twice that of its S-mint counterpart, the 1870 gold dollar is also significantly more accessible, particularly in better Mint State grades, though Gems of the P-mint issue are rare. This flashy MS65 coin is sharply struck with bright yellow-gold surfaces. Minimally marked, though there is a slight rim disturbance above the second T in STATES on the obverse. Census: 7 in 65, 9 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1872 G$1 MS62 PCGS. Sharply struck and satiny with unmarked straw-gold surfaces. A mere 3,500 business strikes were issued, and a relatively small number of those were saved by Philadelphia-area numismatists. Population: 6 in 62, 40 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1873 G$1 Open 3 MS66 PCGS. CAC. A boldly impressed example of the Open 3 type, impressively lustrous with canary-yellow and sun-gold hues on each side. In keeping with the Premium Gem grade, there are only a few tiny disturbances visible in the fields, and the eye appeal is spectacular. Population: 11 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1875 G$1 AU58 NGC. Except for the double eagle, 1875 was a year of minuscule gold mintages at Philadelphia. Only 400 business strike gold dollars were struck, along with 20 proofs. Most apparently went into circulation, since NGC has certified a total of only 30 pieces in all grades, which presumably includes many resubmissions. The present near-Mint example has bold details, orange-gold toning, and an absence of consequential marks. Census: 4 in 58, 15 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1879 G$1 MS65 PCGS. A beautiful lemon-gold example with flashy fields and an absence of abrasions. The BERT in LIBERTY is only faintly present, due to a lapped die. The 1879 has a scant production of 3,000 pieces, and Gems are scarce yet surprisingly affordable. Encased in a green label holder. Population: 55 in 65, 40 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1880 G$1 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Late-date high-grade gold dollars are among the "little jewels" of U.S. numismatics. Despite their tiny mintages--1,600 coins, in the case of the 1880 business strikes--many nice examples were saved as collectors of the era foresaw the series' end a few years later. This Superb Gem boasts radiant luster emanating from bright orange-gold surfaces that are well-struck and essentially free from distractions. The fields display the usually seen prooflikeness. PCGS has graded only 24 examples finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1880 G$1 MS68 NGC. Peach-gold and olive-green alternate across the immaculate and coruscating surfaces. This remarkable gold dollar is fully struck with the sole exception of the C in AMERICA. As the lofty grade demands, the eye appeal is formidable. Only 1,636 pieces were struck. Census: 22 in 68, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1882 G$1 MS68 NGC. CAC. Dazzling semiprooflike fields, a full strike, pristine preservation, and lovely honey-gold color combine to confirm the remarkable third party grade. As nice a 19th-century gold type coin as can be affordably obtained. A meager 5,000 pieces were minted. Census: 14 in 68, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1883 G$1 MS64 NGC. Sharply struck with rich yellow-gold luster, swirling on the obverse and flashy on the reverse. An attractive near-Gem representative of this favored later gold dollar issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1883 G$1 MS66 NGC. This razor-sharp khaki-gold Premium Gem has exquisite preservation and potent luster. The ERT in LIBERTY is faint due to a lapped obverse die. Only 10,800 pieces were struck.(
Registry values: N2998)
1884 G$1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Rich yellow-gold color defines the reflective luster of this carefully preserved beauty, part of a small-mintage issue from the last decade of the gold dollar denomination. Sharply struck devices are surrounded by mostly untroubled fields that show only occasional tiny marks and planchet flaws. Population: 26 in 65, 34 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1884 G$1 MS64 Deep Prooflike NGC. An incredibly reflective example of this late-date gold dollar issue. Pale yellow-gold fields are profoundly mirrored and the strike is sharp.
1888 G$1 MS67 NGC. This beautiful Superb Gem is flawless aside from a nearly imperceptible green spot near the E in UNITED. The strike shows pinpoint-sharpness, except for RT in LIBERTY, which were weakened by a mint worker's lapping of the obverse die. The 1888 is more available than suggested by its low mintage of 15,501 pieces, but third-party certification rapidly dwindles above the MS66 level. Census: 56 in 67, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1889 G$1 MS66 NGC. CAC. A gorgeous gold dollar from the end of the circulating series, sharply struck with frosted wheat-gold luster. Both sides are delightfully smooth and free of individually mentionable marks. A mintage of 29,000 pieces, combined with a high savings rate, has made the 1889 a type collector favorite, and this Premium Gem is sure to please.(
Registry values: N2998)
Proof Gold Dollars
1881 G$1 PR65 Cameo NGC. The proof gold dollar mintage took a sizable leap in 1881, to 87 pieces from the prior year's 36 coins; in addition, unlike previous increases, this one stuck as production vaulted into the three and then four figures in the following years. This is a wonderful Gem Cameo example of the 1881 proof gold dollar, exactingly struck and impressively contrasted. Orange-gold luster prevails in the outer mirrors, while the interior of the wreath offers intriguing lavender-to-blue overtones. Modestly patinated but highly impressive. Census: 4 in 65 Cameo, 1 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P3)
Liberty Quarter Eagles
1840-C $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. This golden-yellow piece retains most of its original luster, but a couple of planchet voids in the centers of each side appear to lend an ochre-colored cast to those areas. This piece also shows a long indentation in the neck and one from the chin to the rim between the first two stars. Census: 29 in 55, 41 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1841-C $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. Luster illuminates the portrait and individual stars, in addition to the eagle and reverse legends. Neither side has any relevant marks aside from a nearly imperceptible pinscratch to the left of Liberty's eye. The subdued surfaces are nicely struck, since only the lower stars are blunt. Just 10,281 pieces were struck. Census: 28 in 58, 6 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1842-O $2 1/2 AU53 NGC. Yellow-orange surfaces are modestly abraded yet retain considerable luster. Lightly rubbed on the high points but a well-detailed coin nonetheless. Census: 12 in 53, 48 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1843-C $2 1/2 Large Date, Plain 4 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. While the Small Date 1843-C is the key to the Charlotte quarter eagle series, the Large Date is considered a type coin and is relatively easy (compared to the Small Date) to obtain in AU and even Uncirculated condition. This is an impressive near-Mint example that retains much of the original green-gold color and significant amounts of mint luster surrounding the devices. The only mark of note on either side is to the right of the eagle's head. The originality of the surfaces of this coin makes it noteworthy for the Charlotte specialist.(
Registry values: P2)
1849-D $2 1/2 VF20 PCGS. Variety 11-M. The High Date variety, more available than 12-M although both share a mintage of only 10,945 pieces. Luminous orange-gold with steel-gray toning in protected areas. One thin mark above the hairbun. Encapsulated in an old green label holder.(
Registry values: P2)
1850-O $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. CAC. This typically struck green-gold Borderline Uncirculated quarter eagle lacks consequential marks, and luster glimmers from design elements. The mintage of 84,000 pieces is low, given that Philadelphia struck more than 1.3 million gold dollars the subsequent year. Census: 66 in 58, 11 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1852-C $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The only variety for the year. Because no quarter eagles were minted at the Charlotte Mint in 1853, the small mintage of 9,772 coins from 1852 had to meet the needs of the regional economy for both years. As a result, the 1852-C quarter eagle is usually found in well-circulated condition. Doug Winter estimates the surviving population at 115-165 examples, with 23-32 specimens in AU grades. On the present coin, the strike is well executed on the peripheries, with some softness on the central devices. The surfaces are an attractive green-gold color, with minimal abrasions. Census: 22 in 58, 12 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1853-D $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 16-M. The 1853-D two and a half is a scarce D-mint issue with an estimated 85-95 pieces in all grades. Probably only a third of the survivors exist in AU or mint condition. This is one of the few pieces known with bright, prooflike fields. The slight friction from brief circulation has not dulled the intensity of the flash seen on each side. A few small field marks are scattered about, and the surfaces display rich reddish-gold color. The central devices are softly defined in the usual areas, but the margins are sharp. At the AU58 level this piece is tied with several others at the lower range of the Condition Census. Census: 6 in 58, 7 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1855 $2 1/2 --Cleaned--ANACS. AU58 Details. Well-defined with scant evidence of wear. Lightly abraded surfaces are over-bright with pale yellow color. Scattered hairlines point to a past cleaning.(
Registry values: P2)
1857-O $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. An uncommonly bright example of this later O-mint quarter eagle issue, pale canary-yellow with glimmers of reflectivity in the fields. The devices are better-defined than usually seen on the obverse, though the eagle displays more typical softness. NGC has certified just 49 pieces across all Mint State grades (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1860 $2 1/2 New Reverse, Type Two MS61 NGC. The slender arrowheads do not touch, diagnostic for the Type Two subtype. Any 1860 quarter eagle is scarce, however, since both subtypes combined have a mintage of just 22,675 pieces. This example is boldly struck and only lightly abraded. Luster fills the borders and devices. Census: 24 in 61, 13 finer (4/10).
Ex: Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 2487, which realized $1,495.(
Registry values: P2)
1860-S $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. CAC. Luster fills the margins of this smooth sun-gold representative. Since double eagles were needed for large transactions and bank reserves in the hard money California economy, other gold denominations had meager mintages. Only 35,600 quarter eagles were struck. Census: 17 in 55, 42 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1862 $2 1/2 AU50 NGC. A lightly circulated example of this Civil War issue with dusky yellow-gold surfaces that show mild abrasions. Light, even wear crosses the central devices.(
Registry values: P2)
1862 $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Soft luster flickers across dusky violet-gold surfaces. A well struck Choice AU coin with light wear concentrated on the high points, part of a Civil War issue with a five-figure mintage.(
Registry values: P2)
1862 $2 1/2 AU58 PCGS. Lightly abraded across the obverse but with nearly intact luster. This elusive Civil War date is seldom found so fine as this yellow-gold near-Mint survivor. Population: 11 in 58, 25 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1862/1 $2 1/2 --Polished--ANACS. AU Details, Net XF40. FS-301. The 1862/1 is rare. PCGS has certified just 23 pieces in all grades. By comparison, that service has graded nearly three times as many CAL 1848 quarter eagles. The present 1862/1 example is unduly bright from polishing, but it is well detailed, and the overdate is clear upon examination beneath a loupe.(

1862-S $2 1/2 AU53 PCGS. Struck to the extent of only 8,000 pieces, the 1862-S quarter eagle is rare in any grade and exceptionally so in Mint State. This AU coin is one of five so certified at PCGS, which has graded 13 finer (4/10)--but only three Mint State pieces are among them, two in MS61 and the spectacular MS62 PCGS coin from the Harry W. Bass Jr. Collection. The present coin, while obviously not in that class, offers much to boast about: deep reddish-gold patina, a decent if incomplete strike, and minimal marks on either side. A rare opportunity for specialists in early S-mint gold.(

1866-S $2 1/2 --Cleaned--ANACS. Unc Details, Net AU58. Well-defined with no trace of wear. Both sides show disturbed yellow-gold luster from a past cleaning, as well as a number of hairlines on fields and devices alike.(

1872 $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Luster brightens the borders of this peach-gold Borderline Uncirculated rare date quarter eagle. The strike is precise, and although faint marks are distributed, none are of singular interest. Only 3,000 pieces were coined, and few appear to have been saved. Census: 23 in 58, 12 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1873 $2 1/2 Closed 3 MS63 PCGS. A meager mintage of 55,200 pieces ensures the scarcity of the 1873 Close 3. The present yellow-gold representative is fully struck and has good luster. No marks are individually consequential. Population: 58 in 63, 56 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1873-S $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. This low-mintage postbellum S-mint issue was produced to the extent of only 27,000 coins, and today Mint State examples are seldom obtainable. This is a lustrous orange-gold piece with a few ticks that keep it from a higher grade, but its eye appeal is considerable. The strike is adequate, and the reverse is relatively abrasion-free. Census: 13 in 61, 14 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1882 $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. CAC. Solidly struck with considerable flash to the minorly abraded yellow-gold fields. One of just 4,000 business strike quarter eagles produced in this Philadelphia-only year. Census: 16 in 62, 29 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1887 $2 1/2 MS66 NGC. The present lot is the single finest certified business strike 1887 quarter eagle, the only piece to attain the MS66 level at either major grading service. The 1887 has a low mintage of 6,160 pieces, excluding the 122 proofs coined. This prooflike Premium Gem is well struck aside from star 1 and the upper left reverse dentils. The flashy fields display only microscopic contact. Presumably sold in the past as a proof, but not from proof 1887 dies, which have the date set higher in the field. A prize for the collector who will not settle for less than the finest obtainable quality.(
Registry values: P2)
1888 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Swirling luster with a suggestion of reflectivity in the obverse fields. This near-Gem is well-defined overall with only slight softness at the hair over Liberty's ear. Great eye appeal. Census: 63 in 64, 21 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1888 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. In 1888 the mintage of quarter eagles jumped to 16,001 pieces from 6,160 coins the previous year. Previous years from the 1880s had similarly tiny mintages. However, few Gems were set aside even though lower-grade Uncirculated coins are relatively available. The surfaces on 1888 quarter eagles are seldom prooflike as seen on previous years, and this piece shows a decidedly frosted finish, a finish that is comparable to a San Francisco product. The strike is even and well brought up, but not quite complete. Each side shows lovely reddish-tinted mint luster, and there are no singularly important abrasions on either side. Census: 17 in 65, 4 finer (4/10).(

1889 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS Secure. This coruscating example has a well preserved obverse, and the reverse is smooth save for a single minor thin mark beneath STATES. A meager 17,648 pieces were struck. Population: 43 in 64, 9 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1890 $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS. This sharply struck scarce date quarter eagle appears at first to merit a finer grade, but a small glossy area is noted above the eagle's head. A mere 8,720 pieces were struck. Population: 29 in 63, 27 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1893 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. While the 1893 quarter eagle's business strike production of 30,000 pieces is small by today's standards, it was the largest such issue since 1880, and no other date in the series would touch that level until 1900. This Gem representative has bold orange-gold luster touched in rose, satiny and delightful. Sharply struck with only a few tiny disturbances in the fields, and housed in a green label holder. Population: 36 in 65, 15 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1895 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. CAC. A needle-sharp Gem whose shimmering apricot-gold and pastel sea-green fields appear unabraded, as do both major devices. Exceptional quality for an issue generally encountered in abraded or lackluster condition. A scant 6,000 pieces were struck. Census: 15 in 65, 23 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1896 $2 1/2 MS66 NGC. A multidimensional Premium Gem with outstanding eye appeal for this low-mintage 19th century quarter eagle issue. The central definition in impressively sharp, and the slight satin of the fields blooms into impressive yellow-gold luster. Smooth and delightful in all respects. Census: 25 in 66, 8 finer (4/10).(

1898 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. Boldly impressed with light yellow-gold and apricot color. The luster has a satiny texture on this carefully preserved Gem from a low-mintage issue of just 24,000 pieces. NGC has graded 88 numerically finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1898 $2 1/2 MS67 NGC. CAC. This intricately struck Superb Gem possesses exemplary cartwheel luster and virtually pristine surfaces. A remarkable example of this McKinley-era issue. Only 24,000 pieces were struck, since larger gold denominations were more convenient for bank reserves and overseas trade. Census: 34 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(

1901 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. A bright Gem with frosty yellow-gold luster that shifts between canary and sun shadings. Impressively detailed and carefully preserved. PCGS has graded just 85 numerically finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1901 $2 1/2 MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Lemon and sun-yellow hues glimmer as this pleasing Premium Gem is tilted in the light. Razor-sharp detail and impressive preservation combine on a single coin, and the eye appeal brings this piece tantalizingly close to an even finer designation. A great example from a five-figure mintage. PCGS has certified just six coins finer (4/10).(

Proof Liberty Quarter Eagles
1884 $2 1/2 PR64 Cameo PCGS. The decade starting with 1878 showed continuous increases in the mintages of proof quarter eagles with a single exception: 1884, in which the official mintage fell from 82 coins to just 73 pieces. About half of that production survives today, though few examples are so attractive as this PR64 Cameo coin. The contrast is bold, and slight variation is noted in the yellow-gold color of the mirrors. A sharply impressed specimen that shows small contact marks which influence the technical grade, as well as minor lint marks which do not. Population: 4 in 64 Cameo, 2 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P3)
1900 $2 1/2 PR64 Cameo PCGS. A boldly contrasted specimen of this turn-of-the-century issue, the fields are deeply mirrored with pale golden frost enveloping the fully detailed devices. This charming proof shows a few minor hairlines and points of contact, including a flaw just above star 13 on the obverse, but the eye appeal is strong for the grade. Population: 5 in 64 Cameo, 5 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P1)
1907 $2 1/2 PR65 Cameo NGC. Ex: Amon Carter Collection. This remarkable Gem Cameo proof has brilliant light yellow surfaces with bold design definition and exceptional field to device contrast. Plate matching proof gold coins provides a challenge, and the only markers that we find on this piece to match the Carter catalog plate is a small field mark above the lowest inside leaf of the olive branch on the reverse, and a tiny toning spot at the center of the left wing along its top edge. This extraordinary Gem will be a welcome addition to an advanced proof gold cabinet or type collection.

Indian Quarter Eagles
1908 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Solidly struck for this first-year issue with strong, subtly swirling luster. The color of this near-Gem is generally sun-yellow with occasional orange accents.(
Registry values: N1793)
1908 $2 1/2 MS67 PCGS. In their
Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, Garrett and Guth note that the 1908 quarter eagles have a distinct advantage on their peers in terms of high-grade survival, in that "many examples were saved as the first of their kind," and so the date "is available in all grades, including gem condition, and specimens can even be located in MS66 grades."
In this case, however, "all grades" does not translate to "every grade," as a quick check of the PCGS
Population Report reveals. Beyond MS66, where the date is already elusive, there are just two Superb Gems certified by that service, both graded MS67 (4/10). Moreover, there are only four MS67 coins in the
Population Report for the entire series, making this an example of vital importance to type collectors as well as series enthusiasts.
Garrett and Guth note a peculiar striking characteristic of the 1908 quarter eagles. The top of the eagle's front wing is almost always softly struck, "a result of the dies not being prepared properly." This Superb Gem holds true to the rule, but elsewhere, the strike is pleasing. The luster is gorgeous, yellow-orange save for a tiny dot of alloy below the portrait's chin, and the surfaces are incredibly smooth, with only the tiniest of marks visible on close inspection. A magnificent coin that could fit in a top-flight type set or the ultimate Indian quarter eagle assemblage with equal ease.(
Registry values: N7079)
1909 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. CAC. An issue that is available at the near-Gem grade, the 1909 is elusive any finer. This piece has bold design features with frosty yellow-gold luster and full mint brilliance. It is an excellent candidate for a matched set of Indian quarter eagles or for a nice type collection.(
Registry values: N2998)
1909 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. The 1909 quarter eagle is available for a price in grades through MS64, but Gems are scarce and anything finer than that is a rarity; PCGS has certified just 16 such coins (4/10). This well struck example is uncommonly beautiful with rich, satiny luster and bold strawberry-orange overtones that highlight wheat-gold fields.(
Registry values: N2998)
1910 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Sun-yellow surfaces are slightly satiny with suggestions of green-gold. Well struck through the centers with slight softness at the margins, which show evidence of significant die erosion. Minimally marked overall with a handful of small abrasions and more visible grazes present at the left obverse.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1911 $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Apricot and olive-green blanket this bagmark-free Indian type coin. Portions of the headdress lack a precise strike, but gently shimmering luster ensures the eye appeal.(
Registry values: N1793)
1911-D $2 1/2 AU58 PCGS. The 1911-D quarter eagle is always a popular key issue from the Indian Head series, despite the availability of examples in nearly any grade sought. Since it is the key and one of only three mintmarked issues (all D-mints) in the series, most collectors opt for the Normal D variety rather than the Weak D pieces on the market. In
A Collector's Guide to Indian Head Quarter Eagles the authors write that "it makes no sense to pay a strong premium for a mintmarked issue and to not be able to clearly see the mintmark." Picky collectors should also opt for a well-struck coin overall. This is a bright coin that displays much original mint luster and pronounced granular surfaces. The only marks of any note are a couple of light abrasions in the right reverse field. The mintmark is indeed strong, but the lip of the PCGS slab covers about half of it; however angling the coin under a good light reveals the strong definition listed on the insert.(
Registry values: N2998)
1911-D $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. The 1911-D quarter eagle is usually a well-struck issue, although it sometimes displays a touch of softness in the central obverse. The reverse is normally sharply struck, and all genuine examples show a wire rim around part of the reverse, from 1 to 5 o'clock. The center of the Indian's cheek is the high point on the obverse. It is there that friction in the form of high-point wear will first show up, along with the upper edge of the eagle's wing on the reverse. Tiny scattered abrasions will almost always be found, but this piece shows a notable lack of these marks. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold, and overall this is a pleasing example of this rare issue.(
Registry values: N2998)
1911-D $2 1/2 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc. The orange-gold surfaces are glossy and a bit bright. Nonetheless, this key date quarter eagle retains full design definition, and the all-important mintmark is bold. Easily the lowest mintage issue of the highly collectible series.(
Registry values: N2998)
1911-D $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Collectors and dealers of Indian Head quarter eagles are always on the lookout for nice examples of the key 1911-D, along with the secondary keys, the 1914 and 1914-D. The 1911-D is sometimes found with a Weak D, but most collectors opt for a piece that is well-struck throughout, as well as on the mintmark. This is generally no problem, as the 1911-D comes with a good strike, as a rule. The reverse is almost always well-defined, although occasional weakness appears in the central obverse. Prospective buyers should also be on the lookout for the authenticating wire rim always seen on the obverse, from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock. The strike on this brilliant green-gold example is extremely sharp, with a completely defined mintmark. A few imperceptible surface marks prevent a higher grade. Here is an excellent opportunity for the avid collector.(

1912 $2 1/2 MS63 NGC. This almond-gold Indian quarter eagle type coin provides satin sheen and a pleasing strike. Marks are few, and none are remotely worthy of mention.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1912 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. CAC. Strong, slightly satiny luster dominates the eye appeal of this wheat-gold near-Gem. Boldly struck with an obverse that displays well, though marks to the right of the M in UNUM and below the O in OF on the reverse preclude Gem status. NGC has graded 55 numerically finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1913 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. Rich orange-gold color is seen on 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: 85 in 65, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1914 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. A radiant representative of this much better date. The lowest headdress feathers are incompletely impressed, but the strike is otherwise unassailable, and marks of any consequence are surprisingly few.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914 $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. The 1914 has the second lowest mintage of the Indian quarter eagle series, and nice Mint State examples are desirable. The present piece has minimal marks and a good strike.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914-D $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Impressively detailed for this Denver issue with bold yellow-gold luster that borders on flashy. Both sides are pleasingly preserved with only a few tiny ticks and abrasions present in the fields. Like most Indian quarter eagle issues, the 1914-D is a borderline condition rarity any finer; NGC has certified just 34 numerically superior pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1925-D $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS Secure. CAC. A peach-gold and green-gold Choice Indian quarter eagle whose satiny surfaces display only individually inconsequential marks. The reverse and the portrait are especially unabraded. The mintmark is bold, although the lower portion of the headdress lacks a full strike.(
Registry values: N1793)
1925-D $2 1/2 MS64 ANACS. Precisely struck and coruscating with attractive and original almond-gold surfaces. The 1925-D was the first issue of the series struck since 1915, and is the only branch mint issue after 1914.(
Registry values: N1793)
1927 $2 1/2 MS62 ANACS. Well struck with bright yellow-gold luster. The obverse is close to Select quality, though it shows a handful of peripheral abrasions, which become more visible scrapes on the reverse.(
Registry values: N991)
1929 $2 1/2 MS61 ANACS. A well struck example of this final-year issue with subtly frosted wheat-gold luster. Numerous wispy abrasions and a few more overt marks contribute to the grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1929 $2 1/2 MS65 PCGS. CAC. 1929 is the final date of both the quarter eagle and half eagle Indian series. The 1929 half eagle has a higher mintage than its quarter eagle stablemate, yet the half eagle is rare while the quarter eagle is considered common. At the MS65 level, however, the 1929 two and a half is undeniably scarce. This shimmering example has a bold strike, clean surfaces, and pleasing eye appeal. PCGS has certified just three pieces finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1929 $2 1/2 MS65 NGC. A well struck Gem example of the last quarter eagle issue struck for circulation, strongly lustrous with a slightly satiny texture to the surfaces. While a few minor disturbances are present in the fields, the overall eye appeal is solid. The best condition most collectors can hope to obtain, as NGC has certified just one coin finer (4/10).(

Proof Indian Quarter Eagles
1911 $2 1/2 PR65 PCGS. CAC. The fine-grained matte surfaces of this Gem proof 1911 Indian quarter eagle have a lighter yellow color than normally seen on this date, although the surfaces are darker than the so-called Roman Finish coins of the previous two years. Both sides have bold, fully defined details, representing the dies as they were intended. It is these carefully produced proof coins that show the design as the artist originally composed. This highly appealing 1911 Gem proof Indian quarter eagle will provide the specialized collector or the type coin enthusiast with a wonderful example. Population: 17 in 65, 26 finer (5/10).(

Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1854 $3 AU55 NGC. A lightly circulated yellow-gold example of this first-year three dollar gold issue. Scattered minor abrasions and a pinscratch that runs from the first S in STATES to Liberty's headband.(
Registry values: N1793)
1854-O $3 XF45 NGC. CAC. The three dollar gold piece was struck at the Southern mints in just one year, 1854, when Dahlonega and New Orleans coined the denomination. This is a lightly worn example of the latter issue, luminous with dusky yellow-orange surfaces. Central striking weakness is most visible at the 5 in the date.(
Registry values: N1793)
1857-S $3 --Mount Removed--NGC Details. AU. The rim is filed at 6 and 12 o'clock, consistent with former placement in a locket. The obverse exergue and upper reverse field appear smoothed, the obverse field has a couple of pinscratches, and both sides are glossy from cleaning. Only 14,000 pieces were struck.(
Registry values: N2998)
1864 $3 MS63 PCGS. Issued to the extent of only 2,630 coins at the height of the Civil War, the 1864 three dollar gold piece is a business strike rarity. Since 1993, we have offered two MS64 coins, and four MS63 coins in all of our auctions. Only 10 other pieces have appeared in lower Mint State grades, an average of only one per year in MS60 or finer grades. Patience is required when seeking an attractive example of this issue. The piece offered here has a nice strike with brilliant and lustrous green-gold surfaces. A few trivial marks and toning lines appear on each side, with faint draw bench lines from the original minting process. Population: 4 in 63, 11 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1873 $3 Closed 3 AU58 PCGS. Like the legendary 1870-S three dollar, the 1873-dated coins of the same denomination are enigmatic treasures. While Mint records do not indicate the striking of any three dollar gold coins for circulation in 1873, circulation-strike examples
dated 1873 (always with Closed 3) certainly exist, as attested by this reflective near-Mint example. Pale yellow-gold surfaces are lightly rubbed and modestly abraded. While the portrait is well-defined, softness at the knot in the reverse wreath makes it clear that this example is a business strike. Population: 22 in 58, 9 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1877 $3 AU53 PCGS. The 1877 three dollar is a well-known key to the series. It is primarily well-known because so many coins dated 1877 are low-mintage rarities, and the three dollar has a low mintage to back it up with only 1,468 pieces struck for circulation. All such pieces have prooflike fields or remnants of prooflikeness (as seen here). While there were 30 proofs struck, it is believed that an unrecorded number were struck at a later date, thus making proofs "easier" to locate than actual business strikes. That is especially the case with impaired proofs. Since diagnostics are known for proofs, it is a relatively simple matter to verify that this piece was struck for circulation: It lacks the "teardrop" near the eye, there is no rust spot below Liberty's ear, and the date is higher in the field than seen on a proof. The protected areas around the devices show significant prooflikeness still, while the fields have been dulled by handling by a short time in the channels of commerce. Numerous small, and a few medium-sized abrasions are scattered over each side. This is a rare opportunity for the three dollar specialist. Population: 4 in 53, 29 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1878 $3 XF40 NGC. Glimpses of orange luster cling to the device outlines and lettering of this khaki-gold three dollar piece. A tiny circular mark is noted at 12 o'clock, but there are no other remotely relevant abrasions.(

1878 $3 MS62 NGC. The familiar reverse with die doubling on the right-side cotton leaves and light repunching within the upper loops of the 8s. This khaki-gold type coin has ample luster, and the sharply impressed surfaces appear unabraded aside from a few trivial obverse hairlines.(
Registry values: N2998)
1879 $3 MS65 NGC. The healthy mintage of 1878 three dollar coins made the piece a type issue, produced to the extent of more than 82,000 coins. This was related to the reestablishment of parity between silver coins, gold coins, and currency, something that had not occurred for more than two decades previous to that time. But after parity was achieved, there was no need for the three dollar gold coins to serve any particular function. The mintage plummeted in 1879 to a mere 3,000 coins.
This Gem example offers remarkably flashy, mirrored fields, but a bit of cartwheel blends in. This effect is seen on most business strikes in the series, while proofs lack the cartwheel appearance. The devices are nevertheless frosted and contrast against the fields with an unacknowledged cameo effect. The sharp strike has produced a full bowknot and complete venation on the wreath, but a hint of softness appears on the hair curls. Although a few light field marks occur, none are singularly mentionable. Census: 18 in 65, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1885 $3 MS65 ★ Prooflike NGC. The NGC Census Report indicates that that service certifies a substantial minority of 1885 three dollar gold pieces as Prooflike, with 21 certification events versus 108 entries of the non-Prooflike variety. At the top of the census, there are more MS65 Prooflike coins than MS65 (by the narrow margin of 6 to 5), but this is the only coin at that grade level awarded the Star designation (4/10) regardless of Prooflike status. Flashy yellow-gold mirrors host attentively struck devices that are themselves minimally marked. A small abrasion to the left of Liberty's nose influences the technical grade, while on the same side, a looping lint mark below the bust will allow for easy plate-matching in the future.
1887 $3 MS62 NGC. Strongly reflective, as are many examples of this low-mintage date from the final decade of the denomination. Surfaces are primarily sun-yellow with prominent mint-green elements at the top of Liberty's headdress and along the lower reverse. NGC has certified 88 numerically finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1887 $3 MS64 PCGS. With 6,000 business strikes produced, the 1887 is actually the highest-mintage three dollar gold issue in the denomination's last decade, a testament to its obsolescence by the time it was taken out of service. High-end examples are a slightly offbeat but popular choice for gold type collectors, and coins such as this near-Gem are ideal for the purpose. The strike is impressive, and the pale yellow-gold fields have a combination of mirrored reflectivity and the design's famous swirling luster. Minor wispy marks in the fields and a few small digs on the reverse account for the grade. PCGS has graded 32 coins as MS65 or better (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1888 $3 MS63 PCGS. CAC. A yellow-gold Select beauty with the strong, swirling luster characteristic of the series. The central definition is strong, and each side shows more wispy marks than significant abrasions. One of just 5,000 business strikes produced for this penultimate three dollar gold issue.(
Registry values: N2998)
1889 $3 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc. No trace of wear is visible on this final-year three dollar gold coin, well struck on the obverse with even sharper definition on the reverse. Orange-gold surfaces show disturbed luster that is at once bright and subdued.(

Proof Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1859 $3 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. The 1859 is the first proof three dollar gold issue offered for sale to the public, and also the first for which an official mintage is known: 80 pieces. This figure, however, has only a tenuous connection to the reality for today's collectors. As Garrett and Guth note in their
Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins:"The mintage figures for Proof $3 gold pieces in 1859, 1860, and 1861 are the number of coins struck, not actually sold. In all three cases, an unknown number of unsold Proofs was left over and most likely destroyed. The number of survivors of each date supports a true mintage figure of about three-dozen coins..."
Garrett and Guth continue by noting that such a mintage would be in line with the stated mintages for 1862 and 1863 proof three dollar coins, at 35 and 39 pieces, respectively, by which time the Mint had become more attuned to the likely level of proof gold sales for each year.
While non-Ultra Cameo coins have been certified in higher numeric grades, there are no finer Ultra Cameo or Deep Cameo coins than this remarkable Gem; NGC lists two PR65 Ultra Cameo coins in its
Census Report, while the PCGS
Population Report shows no Deep Cameo equivalents in Gem (4/10). Leaving the population figures aside, this is simply a beautiful specimen. The canary-yellow frost of the exquisitely struck devices and the gleaming golden-black of the mirrors combine for spectacular contrast. A few tiny planchet flakes are visible, but not distracting, and while close inspection turns up a handful of hairlines, the overall effect is consistent with the grade assigned. A magnificent Gem that offers a grand opportunity for the discerning collector of 19th century proof gold.(

1886 $3 --Cleaned--ANACS. XF40 Details. Any proof three dollar gold piece is desirable, due to low mintages throughout the series. The 1886 has a proof emission of only 142 pieces, many of which eventually circulated and were melted long ago. The present specimen has survived, and although the fields and portrait are glossy, reflective luster persists near design crevices.(

Early Half Eagles
1795 $5 Small Eagle--Reverse Scratched--NGC Details. XF. Breen-6412, BD-3, High R.3. This piece has faint scratches below the branch, just inside the lower border. The appearance is more of a series of faint grazes, with no obvious metal movement. Both sides have light green-gold surfaces with few other blemishes.(
Registry values: P5)
1795 $5 Small Eagle AU50 PCGS. Breen-6417, BD-12, High R.6. Obverse State a, Reverse State b, with no cracks, lapping, or die clashing on the obverse, evidence of light die lapping on the reverse. This curious and final die variety for the year is underrepresented among collections of early fives. An unknown number were struck. John Dannreuther estimates between 400 and 800 pieces, but the real story is the number of survivors, again using J.D.'s estimate, only 12-15 individual pieces have survived. This is the so-called "Apostrophe" obverse die, that shows the remnants of a mispunched letter between B and E. Some have claimed it is an I and others (notably Breen) have said it is an E. The obverse die apparently cracked and was discarded, even though none of the known examples show any trace of such cracking. The 1796 obverse is overdated from a distinctly different and unused 1795-dated die, one not found on any coins actually struck with that date.
The surfaces are bright yellow-gold, and the devices are generally well struck with a bit of softness in the centers. The reverse has several minor adjustment marks in the center. The left obverse field has a diagonal scrape, and the reverse shows several shallow planchet flaws that are mostly unseen to the unaided eye. The reverse appears to have been lapped, as mentioned in the BD reference, with several leaves on the left (facing) side showing hollow centers.(

1795 $5 Small Eagle--Obverse Damage, Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. Breen-6412, BD-3, R.3. The BD-3 die combination is seen more frequently than any other in the series. Stars 11, 12, and Y are all extremely close or touching. The reverse has a leaf in the wreath that joins the final S in STATES. This piece has vivid green and rose surfaces with a small crescent-shaped mark across the lower edge of the drapery above the 79. Both sides have additional surface marks are other blemishes. Additional surface marks are present on the obverse and reverse, but the overall eye appeal is excellent.(
Registry values: P5)
1802/1 $5 XF40 NGC. Breen-6440, BD-2, High R.4. Centered overdate obverse paired with a reverse that has the first S in STATES too low and a die cud over the F in OF. Gold-orange surfaces are moderately abraded and lightly worn, yet they sport surprising gold-orange radiance. This half eagle is better-defined than most through the centers, in light of the grade assigned.(
Registry values: P2)
1803/2 $5 AU58 NGC. BD-1, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Obverse State c / Reverse State c. This is an easily attributed variety due to the obvious overdate and the blundered TY on the obverse. The T is missing its right foot, and the Y is missing part of its left foot. There is another obverse that shows the 1803/2 overdate that was only used on the BD-4 die pairing. Nineteenth-century numismatist W. Elliot Woodward called them the First Overdate and Second Overdate, but on the latter the T is perfect. This piece, despite the presence of a couple of die cracks on the reverse, is still from a fairly early state of that die, which was employed until the cracks became breaks and a terminal rim cud formed. This piece shows light wear over lustrous reddish-gold surfaces. Abrasions are scattered and minor. The lower shield, arrow shafts, and left (facing) claw on the reverse show noticeable adjustment marks.(
Registry values: P2)
1804 $5 Small 8 MS61 NGC. Small Date, Breen-6443, BD-2, High R.4. Obverse State c, Reverse State e. Both dies were extensively used, and the reverse was used with four 1804-dated obverses. This particular coin shows the vertical rim-to-rim die crack, and the reverse shows the die crack from the rim through the E in AMERICA to the right side of the shield. The reverse has been lapped and there are no traces of die clashing as seen on previous die states. The BD-2 variety is considered "available" with an estimated 70-90 pieces believed known in all grades. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold with semireflective fields. Each side has numerous but small abrasions. The striking details are remarkably strong on the reverse with strong breast feather definition above the shield, but slight softness is noted on Liberty's hair on the obverse.(
Registry values: P2)
1804 $5 Small 8 MS62 PCGS. Breen-6443, BD-1, High R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State II, die cracks on both sides with retained cud on reverse. The 1 is small, the 8 is small, the crosslet 4 is small on this BD-1 variety, although the 8 is technically called "Small" only to distinguish it from the repunched-date Small 8 Over Large 8. Bass-Dannreuther call this the Normal 8, Small 4 variety, noting that it is the "former Small 8, but it is the correct 8 punch." The overdate variety, with the Large 8 Over Small 8, was created when the die engraver mistakenly began the date with a larger punch for eagle rather than half eagles, then corrected his error. The 4 on this BD-1 variety, however, is noticeably smaller than the other three digits in the date. The 1 is missing its flag, and on the reverse there is a straight "graver line" from the top left shield corner to the B in PLURIBUS on the scroll.
This lustrous, original piece offers greenish-gold coloration near the rims and reddish-gold in the fields and on the central high points. The die break through UNIT and retained cud are prominent, from a die close to apparent failure. Some light field chatter on the obverse and a single scrape on the reverse above the arrows determine the grade, but there are no other singular marks and no adjustment marks. A beautiful example overall, given its relatively pristine condition and two-toned coloration.(

1807 $5 Bust Right AU58 NGC. Breen-6452, BD-6, High R.4. Although considered a plentiful early gold variety with about 100 pieces known in all grades, this example is finer than normally encountered. An attractive near-Mint representative, it has lustrous green-gold surfaces with lighter yellow highlights. Only a few tiny surface marks are present on this attractive half eagle.(
Registry values: P2)
1807 $5 Bust Left--Mount Removed, Polished--NGC Details. AU. Breen-6453, BD-8, R.2. This unnaturally bright yellow-gold example has glossy surfaces. Abrasions are scattered, but only scratches near the RTY in LIBERTY merit mention. The obverse field is repaired at 12 o'clock, where the rim is filed. Still an example of the elusive Capped Bust Left gold type.(
Registry values: P2)
1808 $5 --Damaged--NGC Details. VF. BD-4, High R.3. No overdate, wide gap between 5 and D. in the denomination. A moderately worn example with dusky mustard-gold surfaces that show numerous fine abrasions that sum up to damage.(

1808 $5 --Obverse Graffiti--NGC Details. Unc. Close 5D, Breen-6456, BD-3, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/e with numerous clashmarks on both sides. Luster fills the borders and devices of this lightly abraded early gold type coin. The left obverse field has a few faint curly pinscratches, perhaps severely assessed as graffiti by NGC.(
Registry values: P2)
1808 $5 MS61 NGC. CAC. Wide 5D, Breen-6457, BD-4, High R.3. This well struck Mint State early five dollar has peach-red toning throughout the borders, which along with the devices are illuminated by bright mint luster. The few delicate field marks are of no concern. This is an impressive example of a scarce gold type. BD-4 is the sole Wide 5D variety among the four 1808-dated die pairings, which are further divided into two normal date and two 1808/7 marriages. The overdate is considered rarer, particularly BD-1, whose production run was apparently limited by a prominent bisecting obverse die crack. Census: 32 in 61, 86 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1810 $5 Small Date, Tall 5--Reverse Damage--NGC Details. Unc. Breen-6462, BD-1, High R.3. The common 1810 half eagle has a Large Date obverse and a Tall 5 reverse. These coins with the Small Date obverse are the second most common varieties of the year, but there is a wide gap between the two positions.
The reverse damage is nothing more than myriad field marks that diminish the luster. Otherwise, this brilliant green-gold example is attractive and desirable.(

1811 $5 Small 5--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. Breen-6464, BD-2, R.3. Bass-Dannreuther Die State e/b with prominent clash marks on both sides. This Capped Bust Left five has only slight wear on the drapery and other highpoints, but the butter-gold surfaces are subdued and hairlined. A few small areas of gray patina are noted on the reverse.(
Registry values: P2)
1811 $5 Small 5 MS61 NGC. Tall 5, Breen-6463, BD-1, High R.3. The scarcer of the two die marriages of 1811 half eagles, each of which receives separate listing in the
Guide Book due to different size punches used for the denomination
. This yellow-gold Uncirculated example has attractive surfaces, and the strike is bold aside from slight softness on a small portion of the eagle's left (facing) wing. A pair of faint thin marks above the eagle's head require a loupe to locate. The open fields are moderately reflective, while cartwheel luster fills design elements. Two sets of prominent clashmarks (as produced) are visible on the fields.(

1812 $5 Fine 12 NGC. Breen-6466, BD-1, R.3. Wide 5D. Although well worn, this attractive half eagle possesses excellent eye appeal that is the result of its rainbow appearance. Both sides have lilac and blue-green toning over the yellow-gold surfaces. Seldom do early gold pieces come in such a low grade, and these are desirable for collectors on a budget.(
Registry values: P2)
1813 $5 PCGS Genuine. Breen-6467, BD-1, R.2. The PCGS number ending in .GN suggests an unknown reason why PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an Unc specimen that has repairs in the reverse fields. Better-defined than most and unworn, though aftereffects of smoothing are clearly visible around the eagle.(

Classic Half Eagles
1834 $5 Plain 4 AU58 NGC. Second Head, Breen-6502, McCloskey 2-B, R.3. The forehead curls show slight friction, but this lightly abraded introductory year type coin has substantial luster at the borders and throughout the devices.(

1834 $5 Plain 4 MS61 NGC. McCloskey 2-A, R.1. This is easily the most plentiful 1834 half eagle variety, and it is also desirable for the tripled 4 in the date. Both sides have rich, satiny yellow luster with excellent design definition, weak only at the central obverse as usual.(

1834 $5 Crosslet 4 AU55 PCGS. Breen-6503, McCloskey 5-D, R.4. The Crosslet 4 variety is an important

1835 $5 AU50 NGC. Second Head, Breen-6505, McCloskey 3-D, R.3. Peach-red luster dominates the margins, while the open fields are green-gold.

Liberty Half Eagles
1839-D $5 XF45 PCGS. Variety 2-A. The mintmark is over the space between 39, and it is tilted slightly to the left. This is the usually encountered variety of the 1839-D half eagle. A pleasing greenish-gold example with sharp design elements for the grade, this piece retains hints of its original mint luster. Population: 18 in 45, 34 finer (5/10).(

1841-C $5 MS62+ PCGS Secure. Variety 1. The only known die variety. Faint die clashing is visible, slightly stronger on the reverse. This 1841-C half eagle is the single finest example that PCGS has certified. Just seven coins have received any Mint State grade at that service. The others are MS62, MS61 (4), and MS60 (5/10). Overall, it is the second finest known 1841-C half eagle behind the amazing Pittman Collection MS64 NGC coin.
This gorgeous representative has a nearly full strike, with critical examination showing weakness only at star 1. Every other design element is sharp and crisp. The surfaces are wonderful, with prooflike fields and slight cameo contrast. The connoisseur of Southern Mint gold will find this piece to be an outstanding acquisition.

1845-O $5 XF45 PCGS. The 1845-O has a low mintage of 41,000 pieces. Few examples were set aside, since PCGS has certified just four coins as Mint State. The present coin has pale straw-gold color, pleasing detail, and an absence of noticeable marks. Population: 23 in 45, 34 finer (5/10).(

1854-D $5 Large D MS62 NGC. Variety unknown. In the 2003 second edition of his work, Doug Winter records two obverse dies and five reverse dies. This piece is his obverse 30, with the top of the 1 virtually touching the bust truncation. However, the reverse is different than his description of reverse W, paired with obverse 30. In fact, the reverse is different than any die used for the 1854-D half eagles. This splendid Mint State piece has outstanding eye appeal through its luster and brilliance. Census: 21 in 62, 7 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P2)
1855-S $5 AU50 NGC. Only 61,000 half eagles were struck at the nascent San Francisco Mint, which concentrated on double eagle production that year. Softly lustrous yellow-orange fields host well struck, modestly worn devices that display minor, scattered abrasions. NGC and PCGS combined have certified just four pieces as Mint State.(

1856-C $5 XF40 NGC. Variety 1. Sole die pair for the year. Despite light wear and moderate abrasions, this well struck Charlotte half eagle retains considerable yellow-gold radiance.(

1857 $5 MS62 PCGS. Even though 98,188 pieces were struck of the 1857, it was not widely saved at the time of issue. Similarly, it is often an overlooked date by all but the most serious 19th century gold specialists. In spite of the MS62 grade, the main attraction of this coin is its outstanding mint luster. The luster is thick and frosted, the same as one would expect on a Gem coin. A few small abrasions are peppered over each side, which account for the grade. Sharply and evenly defined on each side. Population: 12 in 62, 16 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P5)
1857-D $5 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 34-CC. The 1857-D has a lower number of survivors than one would expect from its low mintage of 17,046 pieces. It is estimated that only 120-130 individual coins are known with the vast majority in VF-XF grades. Only 20-24 pieces are believed extant in AU condition. Unlike some fives of this issue, this piece shows only slight softness in the centers. The surfaces are bright green-gold with a pronounced reddish tinge. The only mark of note runs along the jawline of Liberty.(

1858-C $5 MS62+ PCGS Secure. Variety 1. PCGS has certified 10 Mint State 1858-C half eagles, including one MS60, five MS61s, three MS62s, and this piece that grades MS62+. It is this exact coin that is the finest they have graded (5/10). We are only aware of one other coin, certified MS64 NGC, that bests this piece in the Census. The aesthetic appeal of this example likely meets or exceeds that of the single technically finer coin.
Both sides have amazing yellow luster with frosty surfaces and faint green overtones. The strike is nearly full, and the surfaces have minor abrasions as expected, but none that stand alone. The fields are slightly reflective with frosty devices. The Charlotte specialists should create some excitement when they compete for this specimen.(

1870-S $5 XF45 NGC. Light bluish tints are visible mostly at the margins of surfaces that are yellow-gold with alloy along the left ribbon end on the reverse and the rims. Well struck with wear across the high points but few serious abrasions aside from a handful of small rim bruises. Census: 23 in 45, 37 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P3)
1870-S $5 AU55 NGC. Like most San Francisco issues of the 1850s and beyond, the numismatic survival of the 1870-S half eagle was a victim of its commercial success. High-end circulated coins such as this AU55 example are rarities today. Light wear crosses the high points of this well struck and still-lustrous coin, gold-orange and lightly abraded with small alloy spots scattered on the obverse. Census: 12 in 55, 3 finer (4/10).(

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 softness on the eagle. Distributed minute marks are visible over each side. Census: 10 in 50, 52 finer (4/10).(

1873 $5 Closed 3 MS61 PCGS. The Guide Book mintages for 1873 half eagles are nearly equally divided between the Closed 3 and Open 3 varieties, but the Closed 3 carries a premium in higher grades. This nicely struck example has dusky orange toning and a smooth reverse. Population: 27 in 61, 35 finer (5/10).(

1875-CC $5 VF30 PCGS. A moderately worn example of this lower-mintage Carson City half eagle issue, yellow-orange with an alloy spot between the F in OF and the rim. Scattered light abrasions contribute to the grade. Population: 5 in 30, 50 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: P3)
1876 $5 XF40 NGC. Neither Philadelphia nor Denver nor San Francisco issued more than a token number of half eagles in this Centennial year, perhaps due to the release of a large number of long-stored silver coins that occurred in this year. The 1876 half eagle was produced to the extent of only 1,477 pieces. This XF example shows quite a few of the expected ticks and marks from a sojourn in circulation, but none of them are severe. The surfaces are mostly yellow-gold, with a dash of apricot around the date and some deep ochre around part of the reverse rim. Census: 1 in 40, 22 finer (4/10).(

1879 $5 MS64 NGC. Half eagle mintages increased every year from the phenomenally low 1875 issue (200 coins) to the prodigious 1881 mintage (5.7 million coins), but in 1879 the production was a still-moderate 301,950 pieces. This near-Gem survivor displays broad appeal, with gleaming orange-gold surfaces, a bold strike, and a minimum of marks. Census: 18 in 64, 3 finer (4/10).(

1889 $5 MS61 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint struck only meager quantities of gold coins in 1889. For the half eagle, just 7,520 business strikes were issued. Most pieces went into circulation, and Uncirculated examples are rare. The present satiny and unbagmarked piece is crisply struck save for the right-side stars. Census: 23 in 61, 27 finer (5/10).(

1890 $5 MS61 NGC. Impressively defined with rich yellow-gold luster that shows suggestions of green and lilac. Scattered light to moderate abrasions account for the grade. High-end for this notably low-mintage issue. Census: 11 in 61, 6 finer (4/10).(

1891-CC $5 MS62 PCGS. CAC. One of the last of the fabled Carson City Mint's half eagle issues, here an attractive two-toned example, yellow-gold at the centers merging with khaki-gold near the rims. A tiny copper spot appears on Liberty's cheek and some brownish patina localized on the reverse, but the strike is bold and much appeal remains on this relatively unabraded piece.

1892-CC $5 MS61 NGC. An uncommon Mint State representative of this later Carson City half eagle issue, elusive despite a mintage in the high five figures.

1893-CC $5 MS62 PCGS. The final year of Carson City production saw a mintage of 60,000 half eagles, and examples are elusive in all Mint State grades. This piece has light yellow luster and excellent design definition. Myriad light abrasions prevent a higher grade. Population: 33 in 62, 9 finer (5/10).(

1896 $5 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The production of circulation-strike half eagles dropped precipitously from 1895 to 1896, going from 1.3 million to a mere 58,960 pieces. This low mintage correlates to a very small availability of the 1896 in Gem condition. Both services combined have only certified seven Gems, with one coin finer (4/10). This fully struck example has bright, satiny mint luster and there are no mentionable abrasions on either side. A rare opportunity to acquire this overlooked issue in MS65. Population: 2 in 65, 1 finer (4/10).(

1901-S $5 MS64 PCGS. An outstanding high-end near-Gem that possesses contact-undisturbed fields and devices. The strike is intricate, and the eye appeal is remarkable for the MS64 level. For those who desire the finest quality within a given grade, look no further than the present lot.(

1904-S $5 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1904-S has a mintage of less than 100,000 pieces, which explains its scarcity in Uncirculated grades. The present representative has good luster and a smattering of mostly minor marks. Population: 31 in 62, 20 finer (4/10).(

1907 $5 MS64+ PCGS Secure. This lustrous and fully struck near-Gem has clean fields and attractive green-gold toning. Faint grazes on the cheek decide the grade. A plentiful issue in typical Mint State, but somewhat scarce in the present level of quality.(

1908 $5 MS65 PCGS. This is a splendid Liberty type coin. The surfaces display bright mint frost, and there is a noticeable lack of abrasions. The obverse shows interesting, variegated color with the center bright yellow-gold and surrounded by deeper orange-gold at the margin. The strike is full throughout. Exceptional quality, certified in a green-label holder.(

1908 $5 MS67 PCGS. The 1908 Liberty half eagles mark the last appearance of a Christian Gobrecht design on circulating American coinage, and the year's production of five dollar coins was split between this and the novel Pratt design. Still, well over 400,000 Liberty pieces were struck, though survivors so fine as this magnificent Superb Gem are few indeed. Strong canary-yellow luster takes on sun-gold attributes at certain angles, and the sharply struck devices and smooth fields are equally frosty. A singly tiny mark is noted on the tip of the bust. Tied with seven others for the finest certified by PCGS (4/10).(

Proof Liberty Half Eagles
1894 $5 PR66 Cameo NGC. The Philadelphia Mint only coined 75 proof half eagles in 1894, and only 20 to 30 of those proofs survive today. Circulated 1894 half eagles are extremely common with examples known in almost any grade desired. However, proofs are major rarities today. The majority of survivors grade PR63 or PR64. The present specimen is one of two similarly graded examples at the top of the NGC Census report. PCGS has never graded a PR66 Cameo coin (4/10). Both sides exhibit a few tiny points and projections, but no other die lines of any importance. This stunning piece will undoubtedly grace the finest cabinet of proof gold coins, or a remarkable collection of type coins. It has extraordinary eye appeal and may qualify as the finest existing 1894 proof half eagle.
This incredible Premium Gem proof exhibits crisp delineation between the deeply mirrored fields and the highly lustrous devices. All of the design elements are expectedly bold, save for the very center on each side. Glittering yellow-gold surfaces host a few tiny contact marks and two reverse lint marks. Darkish surface imperfections above the right side of the ribbon positively identify this as the Amon Carter Collection specimen. The description in the January 1984 catalog of that collection was brief: "A choice and beautiful example of this rare Proof. As pretty a coin as one could ever hope to get."
Ex: Amon Carter Collection (Stack's, 1/1984), lot 706.(
Registry values: P3)
1905 $5 PCGS Genuine. Proof. 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. The surfaces show PR60 Details. Only 108 proofs were struck in 1905, and most of them show the all-brilliant method of proofing that began in 1902. This piece has had some alteration done to the surfaces; otherwise, its bright yellow-gold color shows just a bit of light reddish patina. A few light contact marks are scattered over each side.
1906 $5 PR63 PCGS. The obverse of this needle-sharp yellow-gold specimen appears finer than the stated grade. The reverse has faint hairlines and a brief mark near 7 o'clock. Moderate cameo contrast is present on each side. Only slight mint frost is necessary to give the coin this effect against the depth of reflectivity seen in the fields. Just 85 proofs were struck, and population/census reports are undoubtedly inflated by resubmissions. Encapsulated in a first generation holder. One note to prospective bidders: In the left obverse field it appears there is a sizeable mark in the field in front of Liberty's nose. This is actually a flaw in the plastic encapsulation. Population: 8 in 63, 19 finer (4/10).(

1906 $5 PR64 PCGS. In David Akers' reference on the half eagle denomination from 1979, he simply stated "Proofs are rare." Succinct but true. To elaborate a bit, only 85 pieces were struck. Of that original, small output probably a little more than half are extant today. Quite a few (42 actually, minus resubmissions) have been graded lower than PR64, and only 16 have been certified finer (4/10). This is a splendid, deeply mirrored example that has rich reddish-golden color over both sides. There are no noticeable contact marks evident on the obverse or reverse. Population: 10 in 64, 9 finer (4/10).(

1908 $5 MS64 NGC. CAC. The 1908 Indian Head half eagle issue is an in-demand coin from both the first-year type set and date collector camps. Fortunately, nice specimens such as this piece are available for a price. This is a lustrous near-Gem with lovely antique-gold coloration and a bold strike throughout. The cheek shows only a single tick, but a few marks before the Indian's face apparently preclude an even finer grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1908 $5 MS66 NGC. The Indian Head design for the quarter eagles and half eagles was the concept of Bela Lyon Pratt, a former student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and the choice of Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow, a friend of Pratt and of President Theodore Roosevelt. Pratt developed a unique design concept with the devices sunk below the fields. Sometimes called incuse, these coins actually had the design raised.
This Premium Gem is boldly defined with frosty yellow luster and light pink overtones. A small dark spot is visible at 2 o'clock on the obverse, with a few others on the reverse. Census: 15 in 66, 5 finer (5/10).(

1909 $5 MS63 PCGS. Apple-green and apricot shades encompass this charming five dollar type coin. The strike appears full, even on the lower reaches of the headdress, and fields display only infrequent clusters of minor marks.(
Registry values: N1793)
1909 $5 MS64 PCGS. CAC. While not so heavily minted as its Denver counterpart, the Philadelphia 1909 half eagle issue is an underrated date that provides considerable opportunities for type collectors. This well struck near-Gem representative has rich yellow-orange luster that lights up surfaces that are surprisingly smooth for the grade. PCGS has certified 93 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-D $5 MS63 PCGS. Orange and apple-green toning endows this satiny and boldly struck Select Indian gold type coin. Perusal beneath a lens locates only unimportant abrasions. Encased in a green label holder.(

1909-D $5 MS63 NGC. A flashy yellow-gold example of the popular type issue, well-defined overall and fundamentally pleasing. A few scattered abrasions are noted on each side, most visibly on the portrait's cheek and in the upper reverse fields.(

1909-D $5 MS63+ PCGS Secure. Luster shimmers across this smooth and alertly struck Indian gold half eagle. The obverse is well preserved, as is most of the reverse. A sole slender mark beneath UNUM determines the grade.(

1909-D $5 MS64 NGC. CAC. Strong yellow-orange luster through the centers with distinct rose and violet elements present at the margins. Both sides are well-defined overall with only minor incompleteness on the portrait's necklace. A great near-Gem for the type collector. NGC has certified just 68 numerically finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-O $5 AU50 NGC. At the AU50 level, this 1909-O is one of the more affordable examples of this rare, final year of issue from this historic mint. The obverse and reverse are evenly balanced in terms of slight high point friction, reddish color, and small abrasions that are peppered over each side. The mintmark is relatively strong for the issue, definitely an O that needs no explanation or imagination.(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-O $5 AU53 PCGS. The anachronistic 1909-O half eagle is always popular as the low-mintage key to this 20th century series, although some other S-mint issues are conditionally even rarer in high grades. This example displays warm orange-gold coloration, along with the few minor ticks and high-point wear that characterize a brief spate in circulation. The mintmark is clear, although not bold, as usually seen(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-O $5 AU55 NGC. CAC. The final gold issue of any denomination from the New Orleans Mint, the 1909-O has the lowest mintage of the Indian half eagle series, and examples are eagerly pursued in all grades. This lightly circulated representative has a few faded minor field marks but displays little highpoint wear. The mintmark is low relief but unmistakable.(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-O $5 AU58 PCGS. CAC. By now the mintage of this well-known rarity is equally notorious, a mere 34,200 pieces. What is more interesting, however, than just the low mintage is exactly
why so few coins were issued, and under what circumstances. In its long history from 1838 to 1909, the New Orleans Mint struck only (varieties aside) 16 differently dated O-mint half eagle issues: the 1840-O, 1842-O through 1847-O, 1851-O, 1854-O through 1857-O (12 Liberty Head, No Motto issues); the 1892-O through 1894-O (three Liberty Head, With Motto issues); and the 1909-O, the lone Indian Head half eagle issue.
By contrast, the last double eagle was the 1879-O (and it was the first since the 1861-O), and the last eagle issue was the Liberty Head 1906-O. While the 1909-O half eagle's mintage makes it rare within the context of the Indian Head series, many of the earlier O-mint issues had much smaller production numbers. But by 1909 the superannuated mint had been having structural problems for more than 60 years. The 1909-O Indian Head half eagles appear to be a great last gasp, an attempt from the aging, historic edifice to snatch a bit of relevance from a century that had passed it by.
This near-Mint example displays just the slightest loss of luster on its high points and nearly complete luster in the fields. As such, it is rare, since most examples are in the lower ranges of AU at best and show little luster. The strike is remarkably sharp, with almost complete definition on the lowest headdress feather. The surfaces have a pronounced reddish tint, and there are a few small field marks, consistent with the grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-O $5 AU58 NGC. Before 1909, the last New Orleans Mint half eagle issue had come in 1894. That year's total was 16,600 pieces. The 1909-O has a mintage more than twice that, at 34,200 pieces, but circumstances had changed over the years. The half eagles struck in 1909 came in the last year of coinage operation at New Orleans, and were in the Indian design and not Liberty; moreover, the issue was not one of many low-production dates, but instead became the key to the series.
This example circulated only briefly, with minor rub and marks across each side, most visibly on the cheekbone. The strike is solid in the centers with only minor peripheral softness. Orange-gold surfaces reveal emerald overtones when tilted in the light.(
Registry values: N2998)
1909-S $5 MS63 PCGS. Four mints struck half eagles in 1909, the first such occurrence since 1861. Although the 1909-O gets all the attention, the 1909-S is also a better date, especially in Mint State. This is a well struck and lustrous example that has pumpkin-gold toning with glimpses of peripheral olive-green. Marks are minor for the designated grade. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 20 in 63, 19 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1910 $5 MS63 PCGS. This precisely struck half eagle has radiant fields and splendid deep apricot toning. A small blush of aquamarine is at 6:30 on the obverse. Uncommonly devoid of abrasions for the MS63 level, and a pleasure to inspect beneath a loupe. Certified in a green label holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1910-D $5 MS63 PCGS. An evenly struck and satiny orange-gold example. Study beneath a loupe locates only a few moderate field marks. Mintages at Denver declined from 3,423,560 pieces in 1909 to a much lower level of 193,600 pieces in 1910. Very scarce in MS63 and rare and costly any finer. Housed in a green label holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1910-S $5 MS62 PCGS. The mintage of the '10-S suggests it is a common date by the standards of the Indian half eagle series, but most of the production likely entered West Coast circulation, since the average example grades XF-AU. The present sun-gold representative shows incompleteness of strike on the lower headdress, but no marks are consequential, and the mintmark is readily identified. Population: 75 in 62, 38 finer (4/10).(

1911 $5 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. The 1911 is one of the more accessible Indian half eagle issues in Select and better grades, though finding anything numerically finer than this MS64+ example is quite the challenge. It offers a solid strike through the centers and rich yellow-orange luster with a touch of frostiness. A few light abrasions leave it just shy of Gem status. PCGS has graded 49 numerically finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1911-S $5 MS61 PCGS. Intense yellow-gold luster with strong orange undertones. This S-mint Indian five is well-defined for the issue but also shows a number of pinpoint marks and wispy abrasions.(
Registry values: N991)
1911-S $5 MS63 PCGS. Despite a sizeable mintage of more than 1.4 million pieces, the 1911-S is a better date in Mint State, and is very scarce at the MS63 level. This honey-gold and apple-green representative has a crisp mintmark and good luster. A couple of moderate marks are concealed on the right reverse field. The green label holder has a minor crack on its reverse that has no effect on the coin or the holder integrity.(

1913 $5 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. An impressively preserved example of this popular higher-mintage Indian half eagle issue that comes tantalizingly close to Gem status. Both sides are awash in rich luster, yellow-orange with more of the former color in the centers and greater emphasis on the latter at the margins. Well-defined with just a few small abrasions visible mostly in the fields. PCGS has graded just 53 pieces as Gem or better (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1913-S $5 MS63 PCGS. Lovely peach-gold toning graces this radiant and satiny better date half eagle. The strike is precise, and the fields display only minor contact. The reverse die was lapped, removing small portions of the eagle and giving it an unusual outlined appearance. Encased in an old green label holder. Population: 40 in 63, 18 finer (5/10).(

Registry values: N2998)
1914-S $5 MS63 PCGS. As is the case with all San Francisco Indian fives, the 1914-S is a better date in Uncirculated grades. But most such pieces grade either MS61 or MS62, and MS63 examples are surprisingly rare. This is a flashy yellow-gold representative that is attractive despite a few wispy marks on the reverse field. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 17 in 63, 7 finer (5/10).(

Registry values: N1793)
1929 $5 MS63 PCGS. In 1929, there was likely not a single numismatist who believed that the Indian half eagle of that date would one day become an important rarity. After all, the mintage of 662,000 pieces ensured that there would be more than enough to meet the limited demand from gold collectors. So much for conventional wisdom. Most of the mintage never left Treasury vaults and was eventually melted into bullion bars to back the official international value of 35 dollars per ounce of gold. While certain half eagle issues have returned in quantity to America, the 1929 remains the key date of the Indian series. The present Select example has interspersed jade-green and orange toning. The strike is good, and evaluation beneath a lens reveals only insignificant marks. Housed in an old green label holder.(

Early Eagles
1795 $10 13 Leaves--Obverse Planchet Flaw--NGC Details. AU. Breen-6830, Taraszka-1, BD-1, High R.3. Attributed by star 11 being close to the serif of Y in LIBERTY, the tip of 5 in the date overlapping the bust, and the leaf virtually touches the U in UNITED. This is the most plentiful of the five 1795 varieties and popular as a type coin.
The obverse has numerous planchet flaws intermingled with small scrapes. The reverse is similar although less severe. Both sides have hints of green on the rose-gold surfaces. An acceptable example for the budget-minded type collector.(
Registry values: P5)
1796 $10 AU53 NGC. Breen-6832, Taraszka-6, BD-1, R.4. This intermediate die state has a light die crack in the field below the E in LIBERTY, downward to the cap and hair above the ear. The reverse has light clash marks in the wreath above the eagle's head. Although some 1796 tens were struck after the 1797 Small Eagle coins, this example was struck earlier.
The Small Eagle reverse design was used from 1796 to 1797, with a total mintage estimated at 13,344 coins. The distribution of that mintage among the three dates is unknown, but estimated as follows: 1795 - 9,425 coins, 1796 - 2,800 coins, and 1797 - 1,119 coins. Today we believe that about 5% of those coins still survive, or about 140 pieces of this 1796 eagle.
There is no accurate census of 1796 eagles that survive, although it is fair to say that the majority are in grades below AU. Date collectors and variety specialists are both keenly aware that 1795 Small Eagle tens are commonplace when compared to either 1796 or 1797. This piece has light green-gold surfaces with traces of yellow luster in the protected areas. The surfaces are lightly abraded on both sides, although with no significant marks. The strike is nicely centered with full, strong borders on both sides. Here is an important opportunity for the avid collector of early gold coins to acquire a piece that represents the history of a young nation. Census: 8 in 53, 53 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: P6)
1797 $10 Large Eagle AU55 NGC. Breen-6834, Taraszka-8, BD-2, High R.4. The usual double die crack bisects the second 7 in the date. The right crack is heavy below the 7, and continues to the drapery. After a small production of Small Eagle pieces, the Mint changed to the Heraldic Eagle reverse design that was patterned after the Great Seal. This piece has pale green and grayish-gold surfaces with traces of lighter rose luster in the peripheral areas. Numerous tiny surface marks and planchet flakes are visible on both sides, but barely affect the visual appeal.(
Registry values: P3)
1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse PCGS Genuine. BD-5, R.6. 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 XF specimen that has been cleaned and has an edge repair. The reverse is the key to this challenging die pair, distinguished by the O in OF being centered over the break in the clouds. Also on that side are the edge repairs, above the first T in STATES and beneath the tail feathers. Both sides also show the after-effects of cleaning on the yellow-gold surfaces.(
Registry values: P2, N2)
1799 $10 Small Stars Obverse MS61 PCGS. CAC. Irregular Date, Breen-6840, Taraszka-20, BD-8, R.5. The Irregular Date obverse die is identified by the unusual placement of the digits, with the 1 far below the curl and the final 9 nearly touching the drapery. Every other 1799 obverse die has the 1 closer to the curl, or the two digits equally spaced from the curl and drapery.
The Irregular Date obverse was combined with two different reverse dies. The reverse of Taraszka-19, BD-7 has the star right of the eagle's neck high above the scroll, while the reverse of Taraszka-20, BD-8 (the variety offered here) has the same star nearly touching the scroll. The Taraszka-20 or BD-8 is the rarer of the two by a wide margin.
Judging from the appearance of the Bass specimen plated in John Dannreuther's
Early U.S. Gold Coins Varieties, this example appears to be almost identical in quality to the Bass coin. It is fully lustrous with traces of green over the light yellow surfaces. The design features are a little flat, as usual (see the Dannreuther plate for comparison), but both sides have excellent surfaces with only a few scattered marks. The reverse has a heavy die crack through MER and a heavy break inside the C. All known examples are in about the same die state.(
Registry values: P2)
1800 $10 AU58 NGC. Breen-6842, Taraszka-23, BD-1, High R.3. Only one die combination was produced with the 1800 date, although some were struck in 1800, and others in 1801 or 1802. The reverse die was used for the last of the 1799 eagles, all 1800 eagles, and the first 1801 eagles. Some of those dated 1800 were actually struck in 1801, after the initial mintage of pieces bearing the 1801 date.
This example has obverse die cracks through LIBERTY, and a reverse crack through the tail feathers and olive branch, and was probably one of the latest examples minted. The strike is weak, a result of the late die state. Both sides have brilliant green-gold luster, myriad tiny surface marks, and faint obverse adjustment marks. Census: 22 in 58, 46 finer (5/10).(

1801 $10 --Removed From Jewelry--NGC Details. VF. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. This early eagle is glossy from polishing, and is bent near the T in LIBERTY and opposite near the C in AMERICA. Repaired on the reverse rim between 6 and 7 o'clock, where solder was presumably removed. A cluster of pinscratches is noted near the T in UNITED, and scattered small marks are consistent with casual storage in a cluttered jewelry box. Nonetheless, a survivor of the coveted Heraldic Eagle ten dollar type.(

1801 $10 AU53 PCGS. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. A great coin for the type collector, the 1801 BD-2 eagle is easily the most plentiful variety of all early eagles struck from 1795 to 1804, with 600 to 800 examples known, including many in AU and Mint State grades. This pleasing piece is housed in a green-label holder and exhibits lovely green-gold surfaces with considerable lemon-yellow toning splashed over both sides and bright, semireflective fields. It is an early die state with no evidence of clash marks, lapping, or die cracks on either side. Here is an excellent opportunity to acquire a lovely early ten.(

1803 $10 Small Stars Reverse MS62+ PCGS Secure. Breen-6844, Taraszka-28, BD-3, R.4. Six varieties of 1803 eagles are known, all from a single obverse die. The six reverse dies include this die that was previously used for 1801 BD-2, and the reverse of 1803 BD-6 that was also used for all of the 1804 eagles. The BD-3 die combination is the most plentiful Small Reverse Stars variety, and the BD-5 marriage is the most plentiful Large Reverse Stars variety.
This late die state example has light obverse and heavy reverse clash marks. The obverse clash marks are most visible in front of Liberty's neck, while those on the reverse especially prominent at the center. The reverse has a short die crack joining the tops of I and T in UNITED, continuing to the border over the left side of the E. Dannreuther describes a second crack from the ribbon just inside the right wing up to star 6, although that feature appears to be a clash mark instead of a crack.
This lustrous example has splendid lemon-yellow surfaces with full mint brilliance on both sides. A few light adjustment marks at the top of the cap and at the date are the cause of design weakness on the reverse, especially at the left claw and arrow heads. Minor blemishes and faint scratches are evident. Most notable among the latter are one in front of the face, and another within the reverse stars. This wonderful Mint State piece will undoubtedly find a home with an advanced gold specialist.
The PCGS Population Report erroneously includes examples of the 1803 Extra Star variety in their totals for the Small Stars Reverse eagle. Actual Population for the Small Stars Reverse: 16 in 62, 1 in 62+, 20 finer (5/10).(

Liberty Eagles
1842 $10 Small Date AU58 PCGS. Numerous denominations at different mints in 1842 saw variations in the size of the peripheral lettering and/or date, including the quarter, half dollar, half eagle, and eagle, resulting in the Small Date, Medium/Large Date, and Small Letters/Large Letters varieties. The 1842 Small Date eagle is an underrated issue produced in an amount only 30% that of its Large Date counterpart. This is a highly lustrous golden-orange example of the Small Date that shows much reflectivity in the fields. There are few marks of any significance and lots of eye appeal. The strike is bold throughout save for the bottom two stars, adding to the obvious allure. Population: 3 in 58, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1843 $10 AU58 NGC. Well-defined for this earlier Liberty eagle issue with luminous butter-yellow fields. Scattered light abrasions are present in the fields, but there is only a touch of rub present on the highest design elements. Strictly Mint State examples of the date are highly elusive; NGC and PCGS have graded only four such coins between them (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1844-O $10 AU58 NGC. The antebellum O-mint eagles are a fruitful area of study for serious numismatists, and many issues of the denomination, O-mint and otherwise, appear underrated in today's market. The 1844-O was produced in the quantity of 118,700 coins, and most survivors today are well-circulated. This near-Mint piece boasts nearly full original mint luster over attractive honey-gold surfaces. Abrasions are minimal save for a couple of scrapes in the left obverse field. The strike is good overall, although some weakness appears on the high points of each side. Census: 49 in 58, 14 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1845-O $10 XF45 PCGS. The date is repunched, most noticeably on the 84. The devices are richly detailed, and the sun-gold and pale green color is clearly original. Field marks correspond to moderate antebellum circulation. A lower mintage New Orleans issue. Population: 26 in 45, 47 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1846/5-O $10 --Cleaned--ANACS. AU Details, Net XF40. Breen-6875. Described on the holder as an "O/O" variety, and the reverse does indeed have a repunched mintmark. Lightly worn with over-bright satin surfaces that gleam yellow-gold.
1850 $10 Large Date AU55 PCGS. A pleasing Choice AU example of this eagle variety, a distinct rarity in Mint State. Modestly worn on the high points with still-lustrous yellow-gold fields that are satiny. Soft definition on the stars has little bearing on the eye appeal. Population: 18 in 55, 17 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1850-O $10 XF45 PCGS. A sun-gold example of this low mintage (57,000 pieces) New Orleans issue. Luster still visible on the design recesses of each side. The luminous surfaces display scattered marks, yet none are significant. Population: 40 in 45, 26 finer (1/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1851-O $10 AU53 NGC. A small center ring rests atop the second vertical shield stripe, as always seen on this New Orleans emission. A straw-gold piece with pockets of shimmering luster and a good strike save for the star centers. A pair of slender marks intersect on the right (facing) side of Liberty's neck.(
Registry values: N1793)
1851-O $10 --Sea Salvaged--ANACS. AU58 Details. Breen-6898. The reverse with the distinctive hollow "ring" atop the left side of the shield. Well-defined in the centers with minimal wear, though the yellow-orange fields and the rubbed, softly struck stars show the peculiar matte texture associated with saltwater exposure.(
Registry values: N1793)
1852 $10 AU58 NGC. CAC. Strong central detail, though the stars are softly struck. Numerous tiny abrasions and minor friction affect the coin, lustrous with a yellow-gold obverse and a reverse with a more orange cast.(
Registry values: N1793)
1853 $10 MS61 NGC. No Motto eagles are challenging in Mint State, and the 1853 is no exception. The bright surfaces display ample luster, and the strike is crisp throughout. Scattered abrasions are consistent with the grade. A trio of tiny spots are seen near the NIT in UNITED. Census: 20 in 61, 9 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1858 $10 AU53 NGC. The notoriety of the 1858 is attributed to legendary Fort Worth dealer B. Max Mehl, who extolled its rarity whenever one appeared in his mid-20th century auctions. The mintage of 2,521 pieces is the lowest of any No Motto Philadelphia issues except for the 1863. Nobody collected business strike Liberty eagles prior to the 1890s, and the typical survivor grades XF45. NGC and PCGS combined have certified just five pieces as Mint State. The present example has pleasing detail, and its remaining luster has a slight rose-red tint. Minor marks are prevalent, but there are no singular noteworthy abrasions.(
Registry values: N4719)
1859 $10 AU50 PCGS. Bold yellow-orange luster remains in the fields, though the central devices exhibit distinct wear. Moderately abraded on each side with a luster scrape noted to the left of Liberty's eye. Population: 13 in 50, 23 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1868 $10 XF45 NGC. Light wear across moderately abraded straw-gold surfaces. Well struck for this Philadelphia issue with considerable luster that flickers in the fields.(
Registry values: N991)
1868 $10 AU58 NGC. This low-mintage postbellum issue was produced to the extent of a mere 10,665 pieces, but a fair number have survived at the near-Mint level or below. This yellow-gold piece shows some of the prooflike luster often seen on the issue, although numerous abrasions occur on each side, more prominently on the obverse. Census: 23 in 58, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1868-S $10 AU53 NGC. Most of the San Francisco gold coins from the late 1860s and the 1870s are condition rarities. At the time of issue, these coins entered circulation, unlike their Eastern counterparts. The 1868-S eagle had a mintage of 13,500 coins, yet the average certified grade is only about XF45. This piece is clearly nicer, and it exhibits light green-gold surfaces with considerable luster. Census: 19 in 53, 26 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1868-S $10 AU53 NGC. The 1868-S ten has a low mintage of only 13,500 pieces, and a correspondingly low availability in all grades, especially XF and AU. There are no Uncirculated pieces known. In fact, the Smithsonian only has a VF30. The best a collector can do is locate an AU with minimal problems. This piece has a surprising amount of remaining luster around the devices. The strike is slightly soft in the centers, as expected, and there are numerous small to medium-sized abrasions peppered over each side. Census: 19 in 53, 26 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1873 $10 Closed 3 AU58 NGC. Although this issue is called the 1873 Closed 3 (or Close 3), that is somewhat redundant, as all of the issue is of the Close 3 variety. Garrett and Guth note that "there are few eagles rarer than the 1873, Close 3" and that its mintage of only 800 coins made it the "lowest of any eagle up until that time." (The 1875 through 1877 eagles that followed, however, all had mintages that were even lower.)
This coin displays an original "old gold" appearance, with blue-gray fields and reddish color overall giving it a two-toned, layered appearance. The strike is sharp, producing no notable areas of weakness. Numerous small to medium-sized marks dot the fields, the most obvious in front of Liberty's face. An essentially unimprovable issue, as only one MS60 example at PCGS is certified finer. Census: 4 in 58, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N7079)
1873-S $10 VF35 PCGS. CAC. The yellow-gold obverse is lighter in color than the orange-tinged reverse. Luminous and nicely detailed with no singularly distracting abrasions. Very scarce, since few were set aside from the low mintage of 12,000 pieces. Population: 6 in 35, 28 finer (5/10).
Ex: Baltimore ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2008), lot 3143, which realized $2,070.(
Registry values: N1793)
1880-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. A low-mintage coin from the legendary Western mint, made to the extent of only 11,190 pieces. This Almost Uncirculated example has seen a short spate in the channels of commerce, but much of the original luster is still present, over pleasing yellow-orange surfaces. There are no major abrasions, although a tiny toning spot occurs on the reverse under the eagle's neck.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1883-CC $10 XF45 PCGS. Considerable reflective luster remains in the fields of this yellow-orange example. Light wear is concentrated at Liberty's brown, and the surrounding fields show several abrasions. A shallow field disturbance is noted to the left of Liberty's face. Population: 34 in 45, 52 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N991)
1885-S $10 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Better-defined than many with orange overtones gracing yellow-gold surfaces with swirling, frosted luster. A few tiny alloy spots are visible at the borders, but there are few significant marks. This San Francisco issue is practically unobtainable any finer, as PCGS has certified only one such coin (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1885-S $10 MS63 PCGS. One of many conditional rarities in the Liberty eagle series, the 1885-S is fairly prevalent in MS61 and MS62 but is surprisingly scarce at the Select level. This sharply struck representative provides satin luster and lightly marked fields. Population: 65 in 63, 1 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1885-S $10 MS63 PCGS. A beautifully but unusually toned coin, with orange-gold at the obverse center competing with tinges of mint and hazel nearer the rims. The reverse shows some darker charcoal shades near the rim, which may be some struck-in die grease, as made. Satiny luster complements a bold strike. Population: 66 in 63, 1 finer (5/10).
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N2998)
1887-S $10 MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 1887-S is conditionally rare, plentiful in bagmarked Uncirculated grades but an extreme rarity at the MS64 level. The present piece has a pleasing reverse, and the obverse field is smooth save for a mark near star 12. Population: 72 in 63, 2 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1888-S $10 MS63 NGC. CAC. Fully struck in the centers with just the slightest softness present on the peripheral stars. Thick reddish-tinted mint luster lends eye appeal, and there are no singularly mentionable abrasions. Census: 61 in 63, 5 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1889 $10 AU53 NGC. Considerable prooflike reflectivity remains in moderately abraded fields. Lightly worn with yellow-gold color accented in peripheral alloy, most notably in an arc at the right obverse and a dot above the eagle.(
Registry values: N1793)
1889 $10 MS60 Prooflike ANACS. The 1889 eagle is one in a series of low-mintage Liberty Head emissions of the 1870s and 1880s, in this case 4,440 business strikes plus 45 proofs. This is an attractive orange-gold piece with much prooflike luster on the surfaces that creates considerable appeal, despite the numerous small abrasions that pepper both sides. A single scratch on Liberty's cheek is the only abrasion that requires singular mention. A tiny copper alloy spot appears at the rim near star 10.
1889-S $10 MS63 PCGS. Impressively struck with bold, satiny luster. Yellow and orange hues dominate the eye appeal of this faintly abraded Select coin. PCGS has graded 16 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1890 $10 MS62 PCGS. Luminous gold-orange surfaces show a touch of satin. Only trifling striking weakness affects the lightly abraded central devices. PCGS has graded 15 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1890-CC $10 AU58 NGC. Luster dominates the borders and eagle of this minimally abraded Borderline Uncirculated example. IN GOD WE TRUST is lightly die doubled. Only 17,500 pieces were struck for this elusive Carson City issue.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N991)
1890-CC $10 AU58 PCGS. This momentarily circulated and minimally abraded eagle has nearly unbroken luster on the reverse. Obverse luster dominates the periphery, hair, and coronet. The '90-CC is much scarcer than its '91-CC successor, primarily due to a mintage of just 17,500 pieces.(
Registry values: N991)
1891 $10 MS63 PCGS. The 1891 is a better date due to a low mintage of 91,820 pieces. Uncirculated examples have returned from foreign bank holdings in recent generations, but most such coins are thoroughly abraded. The present lustrous coin has field scuffs corresponding to its grade, but the only individually consequential mark is relegated to the inner point of star 9. Population: 34 in 63, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1891-CC $10 AU58 NGC. FS-501. The mintmark is prominently repunched. Sharply impressed with remarkably reflective wheat-gold surfaces. Numerous light abrasions are scattered in the fields, but the devices show only minor evidence of friction on the high points.(
Registry values: N991)
1891-CC $10 MS60 PCGS. The 1891-CC is the most available Carson City eagle in Mint State, but prooflike examples are very scarce. NGC has certified only 13 such pieces. PCGS does not recognize the Prooflike designation on gold coins, but the present example is obviously prooflike, although the flashy fields display scattered small marks consistent with the grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1891-CC $10 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Pale lemon-yellow color and effusive luster. A sharply struck example of this Carson City issue that presents well despite numerous minor abrasions and a few dots of alloy on the reverse.(

1891-CC $10 MS61 NGC. Strongly struck with vibrant straw-gold luster. An attractive Carson City eagle despite the distribute minor 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 reserves.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1891-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Impressive straw-yellow and gold-orange luster with light, scattered abrasions. While these flaws preclude Select status, the overall visual appeal is solid for the grade. PCGS has certified 63 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1891-CC $10 MS62 NGC. Strong yellow-gold surfaces have orange overtones and flashy luster. Well-defined with numerous small abrasions over each side and a more significant mark just above star 13 on the obverse.(

1891-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. CAC. A boldly struck canary-gold Carson City type coin with ample luster and no more than the customary number of small distributed abrasions.(
Registry values: N1793)
1892-CC $10 AU55 NGC. Luster outlines design elements of this attractive Choice AU Carson City ten. IN GOD WE TRUST is lightly die tripled, and doubling is obvious above the second T in STATES. Scarcer than its '91-CC predecessor.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1893 $10 MS63 Prooflike NGC. The sun-gold fields are reflective and display only minor marks. The portrait is well struck and has only moderate contact. An unusually flashy Liberty eagle. Census: 16 in 63 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection.
1894 $10 MS62 Prooflike NGC. Flashy fields accompany nicely struck devices. Scattered small abrasions on the obverse field correspond to the grade. Census: 23 in 62 Prooflike, 11 finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection.
1894-O $10 MS62 PCGS. The 1894-O ten dollar can be located through MS61, but becomes very scarce in MS62; it is rare any finer. The yellow-gold surfaces of this MS62 example exhibit sharply struck design motifs. Scattered small marks limit the grade, but not the eye appeal. Population: 53 in 62, 18 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1897 $10 MS65 NGC. With just over a million pieces struck, the 1897 eagle is readily accessible in most grades, though Gem survivors are understandably rare. This satiny beauty offers a range of colors from yellow-gold to peach. The margins are softly struck, though Liberty's satiny figure is impressively detailed. Census: 19 in 65, 7 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1899 $10 MS66 NGC. With a mintage of more than 1.2 million pieces, the 1899 ten dollar is a popular and relatively available coin for type purposes. It is generally found well struck and the mint luster is terrific, as seen here on both counts. The mint frost has rich pinkish-gold color with a strong presence of lilac intermixed. While available in lower grades, the 1899 is not as obtainable in MS66 condition. Census: 22 in 66, 4 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N1)
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 (4/10). The strike is almost uniformly sharp, with only trifling softness visible on a handful of the obverse stars. While both sides show several 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-O $10 MS62 PCGS. New Orleans Motto eagles are known for low mintages and conditional rarity above the MS62 level. The present unmarked O-mint type coin has sweeping luster and is well struck aside from the final two stars.(

1901-S $10 MS64 NGC. CAC. Sharply struck with inviting yellow-gold luster. Smooth surfaces for the grade show a touch of satin and suggestions of haze, indicative of possible long-term storage.(

1901-S $10 MS64 ANACS. Boldly struck with fantastic luster. A minimally abraded near-Gem with rich yellow-gold outer color and paler straw-gold at the centers.(
Registry values: N1793)
1902 $10 MS64 PCGS. The lowest-mintage Philadelphia Liberty eagle issue of the 20th century, represented here by a boldly lustrous near-Gem. Sharply struck devices share their yellow-orange coloration with the fields, as well as overtones of peach. Light scrapes on Liberty's portrait and across the reverse contribute to the grade. Population: 25 in 64, 3 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1903-O $10 MS63 NGC. Strong orange-gold overtones grace surfaces that appear straw-yellow at a different angle. Lightly abraded overall with a solid strike and considerable eye appeal for this New Orleans issue. Census: 56 in 63, 8 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1904-O $10 MS62 PCGS. A minimally abraded and lustrous example of this conditionally elusive New Orleans emission. The butter-gold fields and devices exude exemplary eye appeal for the designated grade.(
Registry values: N991)
1906 $10 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Well struck except for the wingtips. Lustrous and attractive with green-gold color and a well preserved reverse. A relatively low mintage makes the 1906 a moderately better date at the MS63 level.(
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 (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1907 $10 MS64 PCGS. Potent luster brightens this well impressed and attractively preserved final year Liberty gold type coin. Housed in a green label holder. PCGS has certified only 12 pieces finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1907-S $10 MS62 PCGS. The 1900-S, 1905-S, and 1907-S are three rarest Liberty tens from their decade of production. Each issue is desirable at the MS62 level. The present apricot-gold representative has sweeping luster and a bold strike. A bagmark above the eagle's left (facing) shoulder precludes a higher grade. Population: 41 in 62, 24 finer (5/10).(

Proof Liberty Eagles
1883 $10 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. As a class, proof gold coins are the rarest of the rare, with mintages limited in most cases to a few dozen coins per year, and survival rates are usually quite low. For example, the Philadelphia Mint coined 49 proof eagles in 1883, and today probably just 15 to 20 of those coins survive. Among the known 1883 proof eagles are the Carter, Bass, Trompeter, Starr, Garrett, ANS, and Smithsonian specimens. In addition to those seven coins, we have only located another dozen auction appearances over the past two decades.
This example from the Amon Carter Collection may be the finest known. NGC and PCGS have graded a total of 16 proof 1883 eagles, and two NGC PR65 Ultra Cameo pieces, including this specimen from the Carter Collection, are at the top of the charts (5/10).
In 1984, Stack's wrote about this piece:
"A beautiful, deep yellow-green example with cloudy toning. A few tiny marks on the chin and some very faint lint marks. Another date lacking in the Eliasberg Collection. There is no doubt that the rarity of these Proofs in the 1880's belies how many coins were struck. Most were probably never distributed."
This gorgeous Gem exhibits deeply mirrored fields with highly lustrous yellow-gold devices. The fields have a faint watery appearance, typical of most 19th century proof gold pieces. All design elements on both sides are exceptionally bold. Every aspect of this piece is incredible, and the overall eye appeal is first-rate. Here is a great opportunity for the proof gold collector.
Ex: Amon Carter (Stack's, 1/1984), lot 778.(
Registry values: P3)
1899 $10 PR55 NGC. The mintage of this proof eagle issue was only 86 pieces, but this example was apparently spent at some point. Was this piece spent by a collector down on his/her luck in the Panic of 1907, or was it a Depression-era grocery-buyer? If only this coin could talk ... like so many others. The proof status is justified by the considerable prooflikeness remaining on the lightly marked surfaces, but it is confirmed by the repunching on the base of the 1 and "microscopically" on the bottom of the 8, as cited in the Breen
Proof Encyclopedia. The surfaces are golden-yellow overall and well-struck, and a small reverse planchet flaw--as made, but perhaps an incentive for circulation--appears around TA. It is interesting to note that this is one of two proofs so certified at NGC, with but 4 finer--one in PR60, three in PR65 (4/10).(
Registry values: P1)
1899 $10 PR60 NGC. A mere 86 ten dollar proofs were issued in 1899, and given the high face value, a number of pieces were undoubtedly spent during the early decades of the 20th century. The present specimen retains much of its initial reflectivity, particularly throughout the borders and within LIBERTY and the shield. The open fields exhibit the distributed small marks associated with non-numismatic storage.(

Indian Eagles
1907 $10 No Periods MS62 NGC. This sun-gold ten dollar piece exhibits booming luster, and the highpoints exhibit no signs of friction. Surprisingly unabraded for the designated grade, despite a solitary curved line on the reverse rim at 12:30.(
Registry values: N991)
1907 $10 No Periods MS62 NGC. Pale straw-gold and yellow shadings overall with a small alloy spot at the upper left obverse. Radiant but softly struck with a single significant abrasion on Liberty's cheek that largely determines the grade.(

1907 $10 No Periods MS62 NGC. This khaki-gold first-year Indian ten exhibits sweeping luster and a good strike. Minimally abraded for the designated grade despite a few inconspicuous marks on the left obverse field.(

1907 $10 No Periods MS62+ PCGS Secure. This well struck and satiny introductory year Indian eagle has moderate field marks but lacks the detracting bagmarks typically seen on Uncirculated survivors of the issue.(
Registry values: N991)
1907 $10 No Periods MS64 PCGS. CAC. This is a splendid near-Gem example of this issue, by far the most widely available of the three first-year Indian eagle varieties and therefore in great demand for type sets. The high points of each side are yellow- and orange-gold, with glints of jade in the fields. Copious luster shines forth, and only a few stray, undistracting ticks appear to preclude an even finer grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1908 $10 No Motto MS62 PCGS Secure. Softly struck through the centers but with no trace of wear. Pale straw-gold centers give way to richer yellow color at the moderately abraded margins.(
Registry values: N1793)
1908-D $10 Motto MS65 PCGS Secure. The 1908-D has an unimpressive mintage of 836,500 pieces. It appears, though, that an attempt was made to actually place much of the production into the channels of commerce as there are at least 300 pieces in circulated grades (most AU58). At the other end of the grading spectrum, only 16 Gems have been certified (13 by PCGS and 3 by NGC), with 19 finer (4/10). This piece shows the same fine-grain texture noted on the Morse coin, but the surfaces are uniformly bright with attractive yellow-gold color. The striking details are strong throughout, and there are no obvious or detracting marks on either side.(
Registry values: N7079)
1908-D $10 Motto MS66 NGC. Although the 1908-D Motto eagle has one of the highest mintage figures in the series at 836,500 business strikes, it is nearly as elusive in the higher Mint State grades at its No Motto counterpart, which had a mintage only one-fourth as large. NGC has certified only six other coins in MS66, but three pieces in MS67 and one finer (5/10). The present Premium Gem boasts glorious luster radiating from orange-gold surfaces that are nearly mark-free. The strike is bold throughout, and the eye appeal is exemplary. This splendid coin would be a wonderful acquisition for a gold type set of the finest quality.(
Registry values: N7079)
1908-S $10 AU58 PCGS. Fewer than 60,000 1908-S eagles were struck, and given the conditional scarcity of San Francisco Indian tens, it is little wonder that the 1908-S is coveted even in lightly circulated grades. The present unblemished piece has essentially full luster, and friction is difficult to find, even when the highpoints are examined beneath a loupe.(
Registry values: N991)
1908-S $10 AU58 NGC. A mintage of 59,850 pieces ensures better date status for this first-year Indian ten. A whisper of wear on the left edge of the wing indicates momentary circulation, but luster sweeps across both sides.(
Registry values: N991)
1909 $10 MS62 NGC. Frosty lemon-yellow surfaces with dynamic luster on both sides. This Indian ten is sharply defined with excellent eye appeal. Marks are surprisingly few and unimportant for the MS62 level.(
Registry values: N991)
1909 $10 MS65 NGC. The 1909 ten dollar is an obtainable issue in the lower grades of Uncirculated. However, most examples are clustered in the MS62-63 grade range, and there is a noticeable drop-off in successively higher grades. This is a softly frosted example that displays the usual matte-like surfaces. There are no reportable marks on either side, and the color is a moderate reddish-gold with some underlying olive.(
Registry values: N4719)
1909 $10 MS66 PCGS. Despite an original mintage more than triple that of the 1908-S eagle--184,700 pieces versus 59,850--the 1909 eagle in Gem or finer grades is actually a bit more elusive than the 1908-S. In MS66 the present coin is among nine pieces so certified at PCGS, and only one example is graded finer (4/10). In the 2008 second edition of
A Handbook of 20th Century United States Gold Coins 1907-1933, David Akers comments, "The 1909 is one of the scarcer Philadelphia Mint issues in the Indian Eagle series. Coins that grade MS-60 to MS-63 are not too difficult to locate, but MS-64s are scarce and Gems are quite rare. Superb Gems are much rarer than those of the 1908 No Motto and 1908-S, although a few exquisite 1909 Eagles do exist. This is a grossly underrated issue, particularly in the finer Mint State grades."
The surfaces of this wonderful Premium Gem are highly frosted and incredibly appealing, with glowing luster and an essential absence of contact marks or other distractions. A small alloy spot appears near the rim at 8 o'clock, but is hardly distracting. The coloration is a glorious mix of reddish-gold and greenish-gold, it is hard to pinpoint just where each color is they are so intermixed on each side. The real selling point for this coin is the luster. If "luster is the life of a coin" then this coin has plenty of life. The bold strike and over-the-top eye appeal complete a package that is nearly unimprovable.(
Registry values: N4719)
1909-D $10 MS61 PCGS. A green-gold example of this lower mintage and conditionally rare Denver issue. Hints of sea-green and orange intermingle throughout lustrous surfaces. A few minor marks on the jaw, but nonetheless attractive for the MS61 level.(
Registry values: N991)
1909-D $10 MS62 NGC. The mintage of the 1909-D eagles was a modest 121,540 pieces but they are largely unappreciated, due to their proximity to the 1911-D, of which only 30,100 were made. The 1909-D is somewhat available in Mint State but rare at the Gem level. The present specimen boasts lots of eye appeal over two-toned orange-gold and green-gold surfaces. The fine-grained surfaces are somewhat mattelike, with clear but subdued luster, and numerous scattered marks--mostly light, except for a couple of scrapes on the reverse in the right field--account for the grade.(

1910 $10 MS64 NGC. A charming green-gold Choice Indian ten that has coruscating luster and an absence of relevant abrasions. Nicely struck, and a good value relative to finer grades.(
Registry values: N1793)
1910-D $10 MS63 NGC. Strongly lustrous with a mix of pale yellow-gold and bolder sun-orange colors. Lightly abraded overall but well struck and fundamentally pleasing.(
Registry values: N1793)
1910-D $10 MS64 PCGS. Pale yellow-gold color dominates the shining centers, while the margins offer slightly deeper color. Liberty's cheek is clean, though a luster scrape is noted just to the left of her mouth.(
Registry values: N1793)
1911 $10 MS62 PCGS. Vibrant luster and green-gold toning ensure the eye appeal of this nicely struck Indian ten. The reverse is well preserved, and moderate marks are limited to the lower left obverse quadrant. Housed in a green label holder.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N991)
1911-D $10 AU58 PCGS. Better-defined than usually seen with just a touch of rub across the highest design elements. Still-lustrous yellow-gold fields have dusky overtones. A single significant abrasion is noted just to the left of Liberty's nose. Overall, an attractive near-Mint representative of this challenging and low-mintage issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1912 $10 MS62 NGC. This unabraded Indian ten exhibits vibrant luster. Since the eye appeal is excellent, the grade is held back only by the device highpoints, which lack absolute design detail.
From The Williams Collection.(
Registry values: N991)
1913-S $10 AU58 PCGS. This low-mintage issue was produced to the tune of only 66,000 coins, and most survivors are lightly circulated. The present example displays apricot-gold coloration over lustrous surfaces that show just a trace of rub on the Indian's cheek, the high point of the hair, and the forward edge of the eagle's wing. There are no mentionable abrasions on this eye-appealing coin.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914 $10 MS63 NGC. Bold yellow-gold luster and strong detail at the often-weak hair over Liberty's ear. Great eye appeal for the Select designation, though close inspection reveals scattered wispy abrasions.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914 $10 MS63 NGC. Booming luster and modestly abraded surfaces supply the strong eye appeal for this well-defined eagle. A pleasing Select example of an underrated issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1915 $10 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. This is a coin that approaches the Gem level according to the PCGS Plus grade, a level where this relatively available issue becomes more elusive. Even so, examples are found certified at PCGS all the way up to MS67+. This piece is sharply struck, as always seen on the issue, with radiant luster over amber-gold surfaces. A few minor surface ticks on Liberty's lower cheek and jaw, and the obverse field nearby, preclude the Gem grade. Population: 1 in 64+, 43 in 65, 7 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1915-S $10 AU55 NGC. The portrait and eagle show minor highpoint wear, but luster is nonetheless extensive, and the fields are impressively free from abrasions. A scant 59,000 pieces were struck, and survivors provide excellent value at the Choice AU level.(
Registry values: N1793)
1920-S $10 --Harshly Cleaned--NGC Details. AU. This issue is one of the three key rarities in the With Motto Indian eagle series, along with the 1930-S and 1933. The 1920-S and 1930-S tens are rare in any grade, and the 1933 is seldom available below Mint State, where it is a major rarity in 20th century numismatics.
Abrasive cleaning lines are visible in the left obverse field and on the Indian's face, with lighter lines over the balance of the obverse. The reverse has a more natural appearance with light hairlines. Despite the surface imperfections, both sides retain some of the natural mint luster, especially on the reverse. This is an important opportunity for the collector who seeks an example of the 1920-S ten with a minimal financial outlay.(
Registry values: N4719)
1926 $10 MS66 NGC. Glorious coloration over pristine surfaces is the hallmark of this splendid Premium Gem coin, with mint-green accents near the rims blending with canary-yellow and reddish-orange glints on the high points of each side. A well-struck example with a few light abrasions consistent with the grade. The 1926 eagle coinage is an excellent choice for type collectors seeking an alternative to the ubiquitous 1932 issue. Census: 53 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1932 $10 MS64 PCGS. Booming luster dominates this lightly abraded butter-gold near-Gem. The strike is unassailable. The 1932 is the only affordable gold issue of any denomination from the 1930s, as most pieces struck that decade never left Treasury vaults.(
Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS64 NGC. CAC. Frosty sun-yellow luster dominates the eye appeal of this well struck near-Gem. Neither side shows any individually significant abrasions, making it ideal for the type collector.(
Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS64 NGC. This lustrous and crisply stuck example is kept from Gem status only by a solitary small bagmark on the eagle's wing. Sun-gold throughout except for a small cherry-red area beneath Liberty's jaw. Encased in a former generation holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1932 $10 MS64+ PCGS Secure. Wonderfully attractive for a Choice coin with frosty yellow-gold luster. Though a combination of small marks and luster grazes leave this piece just shy of the next finer grade, the eye appeal is wonderful.(

Liberty Double Eagles
1850 $20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Because of the scarcity of Uncirculated 1850 twenties, this CAC AU58 example makes a great deal of sense for many collectors. In our opinion, the unique 1849 twenty is really a pattern, making the 1850 the effective first year of issue. This piece has distinctive green-gold color and significant amounts of remaining mint luster with semireflective fields on each side. A number of small to medium-sized abrasions are scattered about, the most distinctive in the left obverse field. Population: 32 in 58, 69 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1850 $20 AU58 PCGS. The first collectible Philadelphia double eagle is rare in Uncirculated grades, although XF and AU examples can be located with little difficulty. This honey-gold representative has full design detail although luster is confined to the borders, legends, and devices. The scattered abrasions are customary for lightly circulated large denomination gold coins.(
Registry values: N1793)
1853 $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. The 1853 is a relatively available Type One in circulated grades. Prices escalate sharply above the AU58 level, which is what makes this such an appeal type coin. The surfaces are deep orange-gold and there is a surprising amount of mint luster remaining on each side. Numerous small to medium-sized abrasions are scattered over each side.(
Registry values: N991)
1853/2 $20 --Cleaned--ANACS. AU58 Details. Breen-7162, FS-301. The die lump beneath the R in LIBERTY is diagnostic. A hairlined and slightly bright representative of this elusive
Guide Book variety. Mint luster is substantial, especially on the reverse. Minor field and facial marks are scattered.(
Registry values: N2998)
1854-S $20 XF45 NGC. A still-lustrous double eagle from the San Francisco Mint's first year of operation, pale yellow-gold with a suggestion of silver-green. Well struck with light wear across the high points and scattered abrasions on obverse and reverse. The latter side also shows a pair of parallel digs just below the eagle's right (facing) wing.(
Registry values: N991)
1855-S $20 AU55 PCGS. CAC. The 1855-S is one of the more available Type One twenties, primarily because of the number of examples found on the
S.S. Central America and
S.S. Republic shipwrecks. This piece does not indicate if it originated from one of those hoards. The surfaces retain good amounts of luster around the devices, and each side has the numerous small to medium-sized marks this issue is known for. The most prominent marks are located in the field below star 13. The color is dusky gold with darker accents over the high points. Well struck.(
Registry values: N1793)
1856-S $20 XF45 PCGS. At first glance this piece appears finer, but a loupe reveals some scattered scrapes and ticks from a fairly short stay in circulation. Some faded prooflike luster appears in places, and pretty orange-gold coloration complements greenish-gold glints. One of the first double eagle issues from the historic San Francisco Mint, which opened two years previous to this issue.(
Registry values: N991)
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 a Western frontier S-mint. Much luster radiates from this Choice AU piece, and each side has only a few noticeable marks.
Ex: Houston Signature (Heritage, 12/2009), lot 1883, which realized $2,990.(
Registry values: N1793)
1857 $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. While this date's San Francisco issue has become an iconic type coin, the Philadelphia 1857 twenty remains challenging in better circulated grades and genuinely scarce in Mint State. This near-Mint coin has considerable yellow-orange luster with slightly darker outlines around the central devices. Modestly abraded with just a touch of rub at the high points.(
Registry values: N1793)
1857 $20 MS60 PCGS. The 1857 Liberty Head double eagle is easy to locate in circulated grades, but the issue is quite challenging in Mint State. The popularity of this date has increased in recent years because of the presence of its S-mint counterpart in the
S.S. Central America find. The present coin is well detailed with lustrous surfaces. A scattering of handling marks on the obverse, particularly on Liberty's neck and jaw, explain the grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1857-S $20 AU53 NGC. Lightly worn with moderate abrasions, though the pale yellow-gold luster remains strong for the grade, particularly on the reverse. An accessible circulated example of this now-famous San Francisco issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1857-S $20 AU58 PCGS. Although this coin is not attributed to the
S.S. Central America hoard, it bears a strong resemblance to those survivors, with bold luster and lovely, rich reddish-gold coloration. Only faint high-point rub separates this piece from a Mint State grade, and abrasions are minimal. An attractive example of this historic issue.(
Registry values: N1793)
1857-S $20 No Serif, High S AU58 PCGS. Variety 20G. Ex: S.S. Central America. SSCA 2037. This butter-gold near-Mint double eagle has ample luster and no distracting marks. It slumbered on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean for some 130 years before eventually reaching collector hands. The lot is accompanied by a forest-green box from David Hall's North American Trading, a faux book on the
S.S. Central America, and a certificate of authenticity signed by deep sea salvager Tommy Thompson of the Columbus-America Discovery Group.(
Registry values: N1793)
1858-O $20 AU53 NGC. Not all of the freshly dug California gold from the Gold Rush days made its way to San Francisco or Philadelphia. A considerable portion of the precious metal also found its way to the antebellum New Orleans Mint for coinage. The pre-Civil War years were an era that in many ways was the mint's heyday. After the war, even though it would limp along for another 44 years, it would never fully recover from problems both structural and political.
The 1857-O and 1858-O double eagles have similar mintages and rarity today. The 1858-O was produced to the extent of 35,250 coins, most of which circulated. AU examples are quite scarce, and Mint State coins are rare. This piece offers bright yellow-gold surfaces that are remarkably clean and lustrous for the grade. The bold strike produces full centrils on all the stars. Minor luster loss indicates a short spate in circulation, but the eye appeal is strong. Census: 35 in 53, 53 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1858-S $20 AU55 PCGS. Bright straw-gold luster remains on this challenging S-mint double eagle despite a measure of wear across the high points. Extensive light abrasions contribute to the technical grade but have little impact on the eye appeal, save for a small cluster to the left of Liberty's forehead. Population: 44 in 55, 42 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1859-S $20 XF45 NGC. Softly struck as usually seen, though the level of detail is considerable for an XF-range piece. Both sides show light cuts, and a rim disturbance appears at around 1 o'clock on the obverse. Soft luster on the obverse is more flashy on the reverse.(
Registry values: N991)
1860 $20 MS61 PCGS. Although hardly a common date, this issue (with a mintage of nearly 600,000 pieces) is one of the more attainable Philadelphia Mint Type One double eagles in mint condition. It is much scarcer than the 1861 issue, the most plentiful of Type One twenty from this Mint. The peach-gold surfaces of this example display traces of light tan color on portions of the central devices, and exhibit some grade-limiting contact marks and scuffs on Liberty's face and neck and in the left obverse field. All of the design elements reveal relatively strong definition. Population: 24 in 61, 17 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1863-S $20 AU55 PCGS. This is a historic Liberty Head twenty issue on two counts--from the first decade of coinage at the San Francisco Mint and from a large production midway through the Civil War. Light high-point wear and a few moderate abrasions, more prominent on the obverse, point to a short spate in circulation, but considerable luster and appeal are present. Population: 73 in 55, 91 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1866 $20 AU58+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Though it has just a touch too much rub on the back of Liberty's head to pass for Mint State, this first-year Motto double eagle offers virtually intact luster in the yellow-gold fields. Liberty's face shows light abrasions, as do the fields, and reed marks are noted just above the 66 in the date. Still, a remarkably appealing example that would fit well in a better circulated set. PCGS has certified only 21 coins as strictly Mint State (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1867 $20 MS61 NGC. CAC. A shining Mint State example of this popular Type Two twenty, well struck with bright yellow-gold surfaces that show dots of greenish alloy on the obverse and the peripheral reverse. Shallow abrasions and a handful of luster scrapes are present on each side, the most prominent of which is on Liberty's upper hair. NGC has graded 38 numerically finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1867 $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1867 double eagle is the earliest date of the denomination to surface in quantity in European hoards. As a result, the issue is not too difficult to locate in lower Mint State grades, and enjoys some popularity as a type coin. Examples in higher grades are extremely rare. The present coin is sharply struck and lustrous, with pleasing green-gold color. Population: 32 in 62, 1 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1868-S $20 AU55 NGC. A common theme among San Francisco double eagles of the 1860s to 1880s is the combination of high mintages and low survival rates. Nearly every coin minted in those years entered circulation, being worn, damaged, or melted. This piece is far finer than the typical example that grades less than AU50. It has faint pink overtones on green-gold surfaces with considerable luster. Light abrasions are typical for these coins.

1870 $20 AU50 PCGS. Traces of luster reside in the protected areas of the peach-gold surfaces tinted with hints of light tan, slightly deeper on the reverse. The design elements are generally well defined. A few small surface and rim marks are visible on each side. Housed in a green insert holder. Population: 25 in 50, 86 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1872-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. The 1872-CC is the first Carson City double eagle to be accessible to a range of collectors, though better circulated examples such as this AU53 coin are elusive and priced accordingly. Mildly reflective yellow-gold surfaces retain a surprising level of luster, and while numerous minor marks are present on each side, there are only a few flaws that are more serious. Population: 26 in 53, 52 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1873 $20 Open 3 MS63 PCGS. The 1873 Open 3 double eagle is the easiest Type Two twenty to locate, making the issue the number-one choice for type collectors. Most examples seen are in worn condition, and the issue is scarce at the Choice level. The present coin is well struck, with a little softness on the central devices. Mint luster is satiny, and a little subdued.(
Registry values: N4719)
1873-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Depending on the authority, either the 1872-CC or 1873-CC is the first Carson City double eagle issue to be readily accessible to collectors on a variety of budgets, though better circulated examples such as this Choice AU coin are in perpetually high demand. Yellow-orange surfaces are surprisingly radiant with minor alloy at the upper obverse, and while the devices are softly struck, there is little evidence of actual wear. Wispy abrasions, including one in the space above Liberty's head, and scattered minor marks also contribute to the grade.

1874-CC $20 --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. Careful rotation of this Type Two Carson City twenty reveals vertical obverse hairlines. Bagmarks are moderate despite a cluster on the field beneath the right (facing) wingtip. Luster individually outlines each obverse star.(
Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. A brightly lustrous yellow-gold example of this Type Two Carson City double eagle issue. Minor wear visits the devices, while the fields are moderately abraded and the central design elements show a number of small digs. Despite these flaws, it remains a high-grade representative of a challenging date, sure to be attractive to collectors. PCGS has graded 53 finer pieces (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC $20 AU55 PCGS Secure. CAC. The 1874-CC double eagle is a relatively available issue from the fabled Carson City Mint, although it is not common in the absolute sense. The issue becomes scarce at the AU55 level. The present specimen is remarkable for its vibrant luster and intense visual appeal. Only slight wear shows on the high points of the design. Population: 71 in 55, 53 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1874-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. The only dies for the date. From a relatively generous mintage of 115,085 pieces, the 1874-CC double eagle is one of the more available Carson City issues and a popular choice for type collectors. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 1,500-2,000 examples in all grades, with 580-710 specimens extant in AU. The present coin shows light wear on Liberty's hair and the eagle's head, with much original luster remaining, and a scattering of insignificant handling marks.

Registry values: N1793)
1874-S $20 MS60 NGC. This yellow-gold Type Two twenty has substantial luster and the expected number of surface grazes. MS60 may be the ideal grade to purchase the 1874-S, since MS62 examples are costly and the issue is essentially unobtainable any finer.

1875-CC $20 AU50 NGC. Pale straw-gold and yellow shadings mingle on this lightly worn twenty, still-lustrous with small digs on the portrait and in the nearby fields. While the 1875-CC double eagle boasts a six-figure mintage and a considerable certified population, the appeal of Carson City gold keeps the issue in constant demand.(
Registry values: N1793)
1875-CC $20 AU50 NGC. A relatively abundant mintage makes the 1875-CC one of the more available CC-mint With Motto double eagle issues. This lustrous piece boasts lovely apricot-gold color with lots of eye appeal and few mentionable abrasions. A nice example from the historic Western mint.

Registry values: N1793)
1876-CC $20 AU55 NGC. The CC mintmark and Centennial date should make this issue doubly appealing for many collectors, and its obvious charms should further broaden its appeal. Lots of prooflike luster appears over orange-peach surfaces with darker high points. A loupe reveals quite a few light abrasions, none singular save for a patch of scrapes underneath RI in AMERICA.

1876-CC $20 MS60 NGC. The issue of 1876 marks the zenith of Carson City's double eagle coinage, with 138,441 pieces struck and a number surviving in impressive condition today. This example is strictly Mint State with watery reflectivity in the margins. Numerous light to moderate abrasions pepper yellow-gold surfaces that also show scattered alloy spots and grease marks close to the rims.(
Registry values: N2998)
1877 $20 MS62 PCGS. An uncommonly attractive example of this first Type Three double eagle issue that is well-defined with subtle lilac accents against vivid orange-gold surfaces enlivened by strong luster. Wispy abrasions and light, scattered marks preclude Select status, yet the overall eye appeal is solid. PCGS has certified just 14 finer pieces (5/10).(

1877-CC $20 XF45 NGC. The first Type Three CC-mint double eagle, the 1877-CC was produced to the extent of only 42,565 coins. This Choice XF example is in a typical grade for survivors, with a modicum of luster remaining on the orange-gold surfaces. A few moderate abrasions are in keeping with the grade.

1878-CC $20 VF30 NGC. The 1874-CC, 1875-CC, and 1876-CC each had mintages of more than 100,000 pieces, but bullion deposits apparently diminished at the Carson City Mint, since 1878-CC production was limited to only 13,180 pieces. This lightly hairlined representative lacks consequential marks, and luster persists in selected regions.

Registry values: N1793)
1878-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Luster emerges from the straw-gold surfaces, especially on the reverse. Diverse abrasions are appropriate for the denomination and brief circulation. Die lines on Liberty's neck and near TWENTY DOLLARS are as made and diagnostic of this difficult low mintage Carson City issue. Census: 43 in 55, 37 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1878-S $20 MS62 NGC. Despite a large mintage that approached 2 million coins, the 1878-S is an important condition rarity in the Liberty double eagle series. This boldly detailed piece has brilliant yellow luster with a single dark blemish above Liberty's head. While available from time to time in MS62, the 1878-S is rarely seen any finer. NGC has only graded nine finer examples, and PCGS has only certified seven better ones.(
Registry values: N4719)
1879 $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1879 is a lower mintage P-mint that is somewhat scarce in mint condition. This piece has bright, semireflective fields, an element that adds eye appeal and counterbalances the numerous small abrasions that are scattered over each side. The strike is complete throughout.(
Registry values: N1793)
1879 $20 MS61 PCGS. For an MS61 coin the surfaces on this piece are remarkably lustrous. However, that mint luster is interrupted by numerous small to medium-sized abrasions on each side. The strike is complete throughout, and the surfaces have lovely pinkish-golden color with orange tinted accents over the high points.(
Registry values: N1793)
1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1879-S Liberty double eagle is an underrated Type Three issue in the higher Mint State grades, despite its considerable production exceeding 1.2 million coins. This piece shows lots of luster over orange-gold surfaces, but moderate abrasions preclude a finer grade. PCGS has certified only 53 examples finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1879-S $20 MS61 NGC. Like many of its fellow Type Three San Francisco twenty dollar issues, the 1879-S was heavily minted but also heavily used, and Mint State coins are genuinely elusive today. This MS61 example has a number of shallow luster scrapes and a few more serious abrasions on the portrait, yet the overall eye appeal is pleasing.(
Registry values: N1793)
1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. A wonderful Mint State San Francisco double eagle, this 1879-S has original patina with attractive pink toning over its brilliant and frosty yellow luster. The strike is bold and the fields are faintly reflective. PCGS has only certified 54 finer examples, including a single MS64 that is the best of the lot (5/10).

1882-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. This AU53 piece displays yellow-orange surface coloration with muted luster and some darker areas on the high points and below the bust. The surfaces are relatively unabraded for the grade. This low-mintage Carson City issue amounted to only 39,140 pieces.

1882-S $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Breen-7283. Small Squat S. Despite a mintage of 1,125,000 pieces, the 1882-S is scarce in Uncirculated grades, since the date preceded the large-scale export of gold bullion to Europe. Like most Mint State survivors, the present piece is lustrous and sharply struck but has scattered obverse marks. PCGS has certified only a single example above MS63.(

1883-CC $20 XF45 PCGS. One of the so-called common dates in the Carson City double eagle series, from a mintage of only 59,962 coins.

1883-CC $20 AU50 NGC. A refreshingly unblemished and partly lustrous representative. The 1883-CC has approximately one-twentieth the mintage of its San Francisco counterpart, and given the rarity of Uncirculated pieces, most collectors select an AU example for their holdings.

1883-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Fully natural gray patina resides on the high points of this lustrous and attractive Mint State piece.

The present coin is sharply detailed for an AU53 and retains significant mint luster.

1884-CC $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. The 1884-CC is one of the more available CC twenties, especially among pre-1890 issues. This is a splendid example that retains almost complete mint luster. The surfaces are just a bit dull from handling, which explains the grade. The striking definition is sharp overall and there are no detracting abrasions.(
Registry values: N1793)
1884-S $20 MS62 NGC. The color scheme of yellow-orange centers and pale apple-green fields is familiar to the gold specialist, and confirms the originality of this lustrous and crisply struck example. The cheek and obverse field display no more than the expected number of moderate marks.(
Registry values: N1793)
1884-S $20 MS62+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Sun-gold and olive toning embraces this lustrous and conditionally scarce Type Three double eagle. The obverse has relatively few abrasions, while the reverse displays thin marks on two portions of the right reverse field.(

1885-CC $20 AU53 NGC. Much radiant luster is still present on this AU53 1885-CC double eagle, a small mintage even by Carson City Mint standards at 9,450 coins. This issue is among the rarest CC-mint twenties from the decade of the 1880s. The present example should inspire spirited bidding, with its combination of delightful reddish-orange patina, a decent strike, and no singular abrasions.

1889 $20 MS62 PCGS. Each side is well struck with bright mint luster and pleasing yellow-gold coloration. There are noticeable die clash marks (as struck) on the upper reverse, numerous small abrasions on both obverse and reverse, and light, wispy hairlines in the upper left obverse field. The 1889 is a low mintage issue and scarce in mint condition.(

1889-CC $20 AU50 NGC. Luster is considerable for the AU50 grade, and bagmarks are surprisingly absent although faint hairlines are present. One small spot is near the bridge of the nose. A mere 30,945 pieces were struck, partly because the Carson City Mint struck no coins in 1889 prior to September. Encapsulated in a prior generation holder.

1889-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Mint luster is nearly complete across this low mintage CC-mint twenty, although the cheek and the high points of the hair show slight friction. A good strike despite minor incompleteness on the upper obverse stars. Minimally abraded, and the few pinpoint strike-throughs from the 1 in the date to star 5 are of little import. Faint hairlines are limited to the lower left obverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1889-CC $20 MS60 PCGS. Unlike most of its fellows, this 1889-CC double eagle shows no trace of wear. The strongly lustrous surfaces are yellow-gold at their base but show extensive alloy streaks, particularly in the portrait area and at the upper right obverse rim. Abrasions on the central devices and a rim bruise to the right of the date account for the grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1889-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Housed in a green label PCGS holder. The 1889-CC twenty is a popular issue that rides on the coat tales of the famous '89-CC Morgan dollar. Throughout the year, Carson City produced 30,945 double eagles, a low mintage compared to many other double eagle issues, but a rather significant quantity for that Mint.
This important specimen approaches the finest survivors with its frosty yellow surfaces and bold design features. Both sides have minor abrasions and spots, with a dark toning spot at the final S in STATES. Here is an excellent opportunity for the specialist. Population: 51 in 62, 6 finer (4/10).(

1890 $20 MS62 PCGS. This lemon-gold low mintage double eagle has flashy luster and a good strike. Clean for the grade despite a few bagmarks on the shield. The date is lightly repunched, most apparent above the flag of the 1.(
Registry values: N4719)
1890 $20 MS62 PCGS. This lustrous butter-gold better date twenty is surprisingly unabraded but does have a moderate mark on the obverse rim at 6:30. Much scarcer than the mintage of 75,940 business strikes would indicate, this issue is seldom seen at the current grade level, and becomes challenging to locate any finer.
Ex: San Francisco ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 7768.(
Registry values: N4719)
1890-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. This Choice AU piece shows excellent orange-gold coloration, but a few noticeable abrasions appear on Liberty's cheek that preclude a higher grade. Splendid luster remains, however, and the bold strike is a plus. A splendid survivor from the last few years of Carson City mintage.
From The Williams Collection.(

1890-CC $20 AU55 NGC. This Choice AU example has brilliant yellow-gold luster with pleasing surfaces and strong design details. The 1890-CC double eagle was a high mintage issue, with a total production of 91,209 coins. Issues such as this one provide type collectors with the opportunity to add a Carson City gold piece to their collection.(
Registry values: N1793)
1891-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. The 1891-CC double eagle bucks the trend of the other CC-mint gold denominations that year, with only 5,000 of the twenties struck versus the six-figure mintages of fives and tens. This lightly worn example, like many of its fellows, has a well-defined reverse and central obverse but flat stars. Still-lustrous yellow-gold surfaces have significant alloy close to the rims. Most notably about this coin, while there are numerous wispy marks, there are few of the heavy abrasions that so often characterize the issue. PCGS has certified 80 examples finer (4/10).

1891-S $20 MS63 ★
NGC. The 1891-S is a relatively available S-mint twenty, even in MS63. What is not available, and what will undoubtedly bring a premium, are the bright, glittering fields on each side of this coin. The fields are so close to Prooflike designation, one has to wonder if it were sent in again ... Both sides have rich reddish-golden color, and there are only a few small abrasions on the obverse that explain the grade.(
Registry values: N2998)
1892 $20 XF45 PCGS. Considerable luster remains on both sides of this desirable double eagle. The 1892 had a mintage of only 4,430 coins, and few of those have survived. This pleasing piece has light yellow surfaces with traces of pale orange toning. Population: 9 in 45, 84 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N1793)
1892 $20 AU55 PCGS. CAC. A tiny mintage of 4,430 pieces makes the 1892 a much better date. As one might expect, it is rare in all grades, since perhaps nobody other than J.M. Clapp collected double eagles by date in 1892. This moderately prooflike example displays typical marks but exhibits scant highpoint wear. Population: 20 in 55, 43 finer (4/10).(

1892-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. Housed in a green label PCGS holder, this 1892-CC twenty has frosty yellow luster and bold design features. Splashes of light orange toning and dark copper spots are evident on the obverse. The reverse, graded separately, is substantially finer, approaching full Mint State.

1892-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Splashes of gray patina are evident on the high points of this reflective yellow-gold double eagle. Just a trace of wear is visible on the otherwise lustrous surfaces. As expected, the surfaces have numerous tiny abrasions, none that are of any significance.(

1893 $20 MS64 PCGS. A sensational near-Gem, this brilliant and frosty piece is tied for the finest that PCGS has certified. Both sides have bold design details and exceptional surfaces. In fact, some might consider a higher grade for this piece. Population: 60 in 64, 0 finer (5/10).(

1893-CC $20 MS61 NGC. The final Carson City issue, the 1893-CC twenty is popular with type collectors and always in demand from date collectors. This piece has sharp design features, satiny yellow luster, and some surface marks at the lower reverse.

1900-S $20 MS62 Prooflike NGC. CAC. Prooflike Liberty double eagles are extremely popular with collectors, and this piece is no exception. It has fully mirrored fields with excellent eye appeal. A small dark spot near Liberty's eye will provide a convenient marker for future researchers seeking its provenance. Census: 12 in 62 Prooflike, 2 finer (5/10).
1902 $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1902 double eagle is a surprising rarity, from a mintage of only 31,140 coins. While available at the MS62 grade level, it is rare in finer grades. PCGS has only certified 73 coins nicer than this piece (5/10). Both sides are fully lustrous with rich orange and rose gold surfaces. Only a few scattered surface marks are evident on each side.(

Registry values: N2998)
1904 $20 MS66 PCGS. The 1904 is the type coin of the Liberty twenty series. The mintage exceeds that of the combined next three highest Philadelphia issues. Among gold issues of all denominations, only the 1928 double eagle has a greater production. But although the 1904 is plentiful overall in Mint State, only a minuscule percentage of those pieces aspire to the MS66 grade. The present coin does, as it is virtually devoid of visible marks, and the orange-gold fields and devices are bathed in luster. The strike is also exemplary. Housed in an old green label holder. PCGS has certified only two examples finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1904 $20 MS65 ★ Prooflike NGC. As of (4/10), the present lot is the single highest graded 1904 double eagle that combines both the Prooflike and Star designations. The 1904 is plentiful in bagmarked grades, but it is the rare example that is as well preserved as the present unabraded Gem. The flashy fields are preternaturally smooth, and the strike is precise, even on the folds of the hairbun. The eye appeal appears unimprovable.
Ex: Phoenix ANA Signature (Heritage, 3/2008), lot 1755, which realized $7,187.50.
1904-S $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Although even at the Gem level the 1904 and 1904-S double eagle issues can in no way be considered uncommon, that is a boon to collectors seeking examples, as they are also well-produced issues that are extremely attractive in such grades. This 1904-S is no exception, offering a nearly full strike over lightly abraded, highly lustrous gold-orange surfaces. PCGS has certified only two finer (4/10).(

1905 $20 MS62 PCGS. Recognized as a 20th century double eagle rarity, the 1905 is almost never found finer than this coin. PCGS has only certified 55 coins in MS63 or better grades, including 46 in MS63 and nine in MS64 (5/10). This representative has emerald patina over bright green-gold surfaces. Full luster is evident on both sides.(

1905 $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1905 twenty is a scarce date with an impressively low mintage of only 58,919 pieces. Surprisingly few were saved in mint condition, and those that were set aside are generally not found finer than MS62. This example has lovely, softly frosted mint luster. The strike is not absolutely complete, but it is generally strong throughout. There are a few small abrasions scattered on each side (but really, most are in the obverse fields) that account for the grade.(

1907-D $20 MS65+ PCGS Secure. A top-shelf example of this early Denver double eagle issue, bearing the Liberty design like all mintmarked twenties dated 1907. Faintly frosted yellow-gold surfaces are of excellent quality, and the overall eye appeal is tantalizingly close to an even finer designation. PCGS has graded just 15 coins as MS66 or better (4/10).(

Proof Liberty Double Eagles
1877 $20 PR58 Cameo NGC. With a tiny mintage of just 20 pieces, it is no surprise that proof 1877 double eagles rarely appear at auction. According to Jeff Garrett and John Dannreuther's compilation of auction records, only one specimen--a PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC in our 2004 ANA sale--was sold between 2003 and 2007. Our own census data shows no additional appearances. This is undoubtedly an important offering for the specialist.
This remarkable specimen boasts unfathomable deeply mirrored fields that show outstanding cameo contrast against the frosted devices. The strike is full, as one would expect from a proof. A number of minuscule abrasions and a trace of light rub define the grade. This is an excellent example of this seldom-seen issue. NGC has graded a total of 11 proofs, of which nine have received a Cameo designation, while PCGS has certified four specimens. However, it is likely that those numbers are slightly high due to multiple submissions of the same coin (5/10).

High Relief Double Eagles
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim VG8 PCGS. It is possible to like a coin too much, and here is an example. Someone liked this High Relief so much they carried it in their pocket for many years. We have never seen another High Relief with such high point wear, but the PCGS
Population Report shows there is also a Fair 2 and two VG 6 examples. Two things are surprising about this piece: There is a remarkable amount of detail still evident on each side, much more than one would expect from the grade, undoubtedly from the high relief the coin was struck in. It is also surprising that there is still a tiny portion of the wire rim still evident, from 8 to 9 o'clock on the obverse. The surfaces are bright but appear to be uncleaned, just the brightness one would expect from rubbing on the inside of a pocket. Surface marks are also minimal, again just the small marks one would expect from coin-to-coin contact from years of being carried as a pocket piece. Light reddish patina is seen in the fields.(

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim--Obverse Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc Details. The obverse and reverse present a slight contrast in appearance. The obverse is brighter from cleaning. The reverse is more subdued and satiny. The obverse has not been abrasively cleaned, however. A few light hairlines can be detected with a magnifier, but the cleaning done to this coin is definitely on the mild side. The coin overall has no reportable contact marks and the strike is strong throughout.(

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS63 NGC. CAC. Delays in producing the new Augustus Saint-Gaudens coinage designs came from two sources. One was from the president himself. While impatient to have new coins, he could not resist meddling in the artistic process. Saint-Gaudens acquiesced to all of Roosevelt's suggestions--he was the president, after all, and the sculptor had a long tradition of courting wealthy and powerful patrons. The second source of delays came from the Mint. Much has been made of the interference and professional jealousy between Saint-Gaudens and Chief Engraver Charles Barber. While no one would judge Barber as one of the great engravers of the 19th century, he did understand the needs of high-speed coinage and the need for lowered relief on commercially usable coins. Saint-Gaudens, on the other hand, lived in a world of artists. He created one work, not millions of copies of it. When one sees the Shaw Memorial in Boston and its marching figures cut in extremely high relief, it is more understandable that he would expect the Mint to be able to produce the Ultra High Relief twenty as a circulating coin--especially when the president himself had told Saint-Gaudens how much he admired the coins of the ancient Greeks, and how he believed the present coins in circulation were of "atrocious hideousness." But delays and compromises were made, some due to Barber, some to Roosevelt, and some to Saint-Gaudens himself.
The High Relief twenty and Wire Rim ten dollar are the early, uncompromised versions of Saint-Gaudens' vision of the new gold coins. As such, collectors have sought them avidly since their production in 1907. This is a bright, well-defined example that shows almost a complete wire rim around each side. Close examination reveals a few small imperfections, a shallow planchet flaw, a tiny grease stain, and a few contact marks--none of which are individually significant but together they limit this lovely coin to the MS63 grade.(

Proof High Relief Double Eagles
1907 $20 High Relief PR62 NGC. In his 1913 Reminiscences, Homer Saint-Gaudens quoted his late father: "A sculptor's work endures so long it is next to a crime for him not to do everything in his power to produce a good result." This quote forms the basis for understanding the complete catalog of works by Saint-Gaudens from his days as a cameo cutter until his final days when he was working with Henry Hering on the designs for the ten and twenty dollar gold pieces. Saint-Gaudens produced several medals, but his most renowned works in small format are the ten and twenty dollar gold pieces. The artistic nature of these coins makes them his most affordable and accessible sculptural works.
The sculptural nature of Saint-Gaudens double eagle is best brought out by the pinpoint precision of the proof strikings. This piece has all the elements required of a proof. The design elements display extreme sharpness, both in the centers and at the peripheries; there is an absence of die erosion or distortion; numerous, raised die polishing lines are evident and are particularly bold on this piece as a proof rather than a business strike; no radial flow lines are evident giving the coin a uniformly satiny surface; and there is a slight build-up of extruded metal just inside the borders at some places which is a result of additional strikes from the hydraulic press. Close examination with a loupe reveals a few scattered contact marks, but the only one worthy of mention is in the reverse field between the upper and lower wings of the eagle.

Even the envious Charles Barber's revisions to Augustus Saint-Gaudens' memorable design failed to enervate its grandeur, as this first-year Arabic Numerals piece makes abundantly clear. The majestic Liberty, modeled after Greek statues representing Victory or Athena, is relatively unabraded on this example, and the eagle on the reverse, redesigned from "the Saint's" admiration for the Flying Eagle cent, displays the same splendid orange-gold color and undistracting surfaces.

1913 $20 MS63 PCGS Secure. The 1913 double eagle is a fairly available issue at the MS62-MS63 grade level, becoming more elusive in MS64 and is extremely difficult at the Gem level or finer. This is a lovely coin, with radiant luster over the orange-gold surfaces and no singular abrasions on either side.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914 $20 MS62 NGC. Strong wheat-gold luster shows elements of sun-yellow. Well-defined with a number of small but significant abrasions scattered on the obverse, as well as a degree of flatness on Liberty's knee.(
Registry values: N991)
1914 $20 MS63 PCGS. Apricot and olive hues grace this lustrous and well defined representative. A trace of aqua residue is noted to the left of Liberty's neck, but the satiny fields and devices are uncommonly free from abrasions for the MS63 level. The mintage for the 1914 is less than 100,000 pieces, which makes it a popular target for accumulators.(
Registry values: N1793)
1914-S $20 MS66 NGC. Lovely peach-gold toning enriches boldly struck and lustrous surfaces. Marks are particularly scarce on the obverse. Minor rim dings are noted on the obverse at 8 o'clock and on the reverse at 4 o'clock. As of (4/10), NGC and PCGS combined have certified only one example finer.(
Registry values: N2998)
1915 $20 MS63 PCGS. Dazzling luster illuminates this lower mintage and boldly struck Saint-Gaudens twenty. One spot southwest of the L in LIBERTY, but marks are refreshingly few on the reverse, and primarily limited to wispy field scuffs on the obverse.(
Registry values: N1793)
1920 $20 MS63 PCGS. Despite the relatively low mintage, examples of this issue did not suffer the wholesale meltings of some of the later examples in the series. Bountiful luster emanates from both sides of this splendid orange-gold Select Mint State piece. Some moderate abrasions, none overly severe and confined mostly to the obverse, account for the grade.

1922 $20 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. This sharply struck Choice double eagle has a clean reverse and only a few minor obverse field marks. Peach toning blankets lustrous surfaces. The 1922 to 1928 Philadelphia run constitutes most of the "common" postwar issues of the series.(
Registry values: N991)
1922-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Like so many mintmarked issues in the middle Saint-Gaudens series, the 1922-S is a former great rarity that now is more available because of overseas discoveries of small hoards that were exported. This piece boasts strong eye appeal, with good luster over orange-gold surfaces. The small, scattered ticks and abrasions are consistent with the grade.(
Registry values: N1793)
1922-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Lots of luster radiates from both sides of this antique-gold piece, but numerous small abrasions peppered around preclude a finer grade. The strike is sharp, although some small copper-colored alloy spots appear on the obverse. This piece nonetheless might be a good, cost-effective acquisition for some fortunate collector, as the issue thins out markedly in the higher grades and is still a great rarity at the Gem level.(
Registry values: N1793)
1922-S $20 MS63 PCGS. The 1922-S double eagle is found with frequency in the lower Mint State grades, but above MS63 it is scarce. This grade level is the ideal choice for collectors, combining an attractive coin with an affordable price. This piece is fully lustrous with olive and rose toning highlights.(
Registry values: N1793)
1922-S $20 MS64 NGC. The mintage of more 2.6 million pieces is a mere historical footnote, since only a minuscule portion of the production ever left Treasury vaults. Most 1922-S twenties were eventually melted into a number of the gold bricks that line the walls of Fort Knox. This is a lustrous and lightly abraded example. Sun-gold aside from the occasional small cherry-red alloy spot.(

1923 $20 MS65 PCGS Secure. The 1923 Saint-Gaudens issue is
not the common coin that it is usually considered to be, due to its association with other P-mints of the 1920s that are. It is far rarer than the 1925, 1926, or 1928, and although it is available up to MS64, Gems are rare and anything finer is nearly impossible. Housed in one of the spiffy new PCGS Secure holders, this piece displays the normal bold strike for the issue. The coloration is a lovely orange-gold with bright luster, and marks are minimal, as expected. PCGS has certified only three pieces finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1923-D $20 MS66 ★ NGC. Rich sea-green and peach patina confirms the Star designation, bestowed by NGC on coins with superior eye appeal. This is a nicely struck Premium Gem that boasts booming luster and a minimum of tiny marks.(
Registry values: N2998)
1923-D $20 MS66 PCGS. CAC. This magnificent high grade Denver type coin provides potent luster and an exemplary strike. The peach-gold centers are framed by lime-green peripheries. The dies are moderately rotated, an unusual occurrence for the double eagle denomination. A beautiful and desirable example of this perennially favored gold design.(
Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS65 PCGS. This canary-gold Gem has booming luster and pleasing preservation. Well struck, even on the torch fingers and the panes of the Capitol building. Certainly a common date, but high end examples remain desirable.(
Registry values: N1793)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. CAC. An outstanding Saint-Gaudens type coin. The green-gold and apricot surfaces are virtually pristine, an unusual occurrence for the 1924, which usually displays noticeable bagmarks on the fields, eagle, and Liberty. Numerically finer examples are obtainable, but the present piece will satisfy even the most demanding collector.(
Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS66 NGC. CAC. The 1924 will never be rare, although rumors that examples can be stacked to the Moon appear exaggerated. But the typical 1924 grades between MS63 and MS64, and only a tiny percentage of survivors aspire to the MS66 level. And few among those that have attained that lofty platform can compare with the quality of the present Premium Gem, which has nearly pristine green-gold surfaces.(
Registry values: N2998)
1924 $20 MS67 PCGS. The 1924 double eagle is the single most common issue of the denomination, and it is available in any grade desired up to MS66. However, Superb Gem specimens like this one are elusive, as the population data indicates. This piece has highly lustrous yellow surfaces with traces of light green and bright orange toning. The strike is bold except for the capitol building that is almost never found well detailed. Overall, every aspect of this delightful Saint-Gaudens double eagle is as nice as anyone could desire. Population: 78 in 67, 1 finer (5/10).(
Registry values: N4719)
1925-D $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1925-D has a reported mintage of nearly 3 million pieces, but more than 99% of the production never left Treasury vaults. Perhaps 500 examples escaped the smelter, and have found their way from European bank holdings into collector hands. The present lustrous coin is among those to survive. It has a good strike and is only lightly abraded save for a couple of shiny feathers on the eagle's neck.(
Registry values: N2998)
1926-S $20 MS64 PCGS Secure. Well struck by the standards of this heavily melted San Francisco issue, though Liberty's fingers and toes are softly defined, as often seen. Lightly patinated surfaces are largely yellow-gold, and a single small shiny spot is noted on Liberty's knee. PCGS has certified a mere 32 finer examples (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1926-S $20 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. The
Guide Book mintage of more than 2 million pieces is a mere historical footnote, since most 1926-S twenties were melted by the Treasury following Roosevelt's gold recall. A few hundred examples have made their way back to America from their sanctuary in foreign bank vaults, but PCGS has certified only 32 pieces in MS65 or finer. This is a lustrous and minimally abraded representative only kept from Gem status by a few tiny rim marks.(
Registry values: N2998)
1927 $20 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1927 Saint-Gaudens issue makes a glorious type coin, as one of the P-mint issues from the decade of the 1920s with the twin blessings of good production qualities and relative availability. This Premium Gem example offers deep, rich orange-gold coloration over surfaces that are well-struck and free of all but the most picayune abrasions. PCGS has certified only 12 specimens finer (5/10).

1927 $20 MS67 NGC. Although part of a commonly seen date, 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: 50 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(

1927-S $20 MS62 NGC. Falling between the easy availability of the 1927-P and the million-dollar rarity of the 1927-D, the 1927-S follows a comparative middle path; it is clearly a melt rarity, far more elusive than a mintage of over 3.1 million pieces would suggest, yet it remains accessible to more than just a handful of collectors. This MS62 representative offers strong sun-yellow luster with light orange overtones in the patination. Slight striking softness and minor, scattered abrasions have surprisingly little impact on the eye appeal, though a few marks in the rays below the eagle are clearly visible. Census: 39 in 62, 41 finer (5/10).(

1927-S $20 MS63 PCGS. As numismatists grow in their collecting interests and their budgets for coin purchases also increase, it is natural that many of them sooner or later turn to the Saint-Gaudens twenty dollar gold pieces. They are our nation's largest classic circulating gold denomination. They also bear the unmistakable imprimatur of "the Saint," likely the most gifted artist ever to design a U.S. coin. Even though Saint-Gaudens' original concept for this gold denomination was tempered both through practicality and jealousy, the resulting business strike Saint-Gaudens twenties retain much of the original appeal of his grand vision for coinage in the style of the high-relief coinage of the ancient Greeks.
But these coins possess another intrinsic quality that furthers their appeal, as they combine classic beauty with classic rarity. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Gold Recall of 1933 resulted in the melting of many millions of examples, and today the posted mintage figures bear no relation whatsoever to their current rarity.
The 1927-S is a popular issue in its own right and because it is a sibling to the 1927-D, the rarest mintmarked Saint-Gaudens issue that is still obtainable at some price. Although the 1927-S was produced to the extent of more than 3.1 million pieces, research by pioneering 1940s collector Dr. Charles W. Green revealed that the San Francisco Mint had released only 3,750 examples of the 1927-S by the time of the Gold Recall, explaining its absolute rarity in all grades today. PCGS' CoinFacts website estimates that 225 examples of the 1927-S exist in all grades today, with about two-thirds of those in Mint State. We believe but cannot prove that that estimate is a bit on the high side, and that the upper limit is 190 or 200 coins in all grades.
The present Select Mint Mint State example boasts the usual terrific, frosted mint luster that the issue is well-known for. The strike is good, although some softness appears on Liberty's nose and some of the eagle's breast feathers. Numerous small abrasions scattered over each side help account for the grade. A small planchet void resembles a tiny hole in Liberty's forehead. This is a nonetheless remarkably attractive coin, with splendid luster its chief calling card. Population: 23 in 63, 12 finer (4/10).(
Registry values: N7079)
1928 $20 MS65 PCGS. The lustrous yellow-gold surfaces are alertly struck and only moderately abraded. The highest mintage issue, but less plentiful than the 1924. Housed in a green label holder.(
Registry values: N1793)
1928 $20 MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. A gorgeous Premium Gem example of this highest-mintage double eagle issue, a type collector favorite. The strike is strong, particularly on Liberty's hands and toes, and the yellow-gold luster is intense. The small, scattered marks on each side, though not of individual significance, combine to leave the grade just shy of an even finer designation. PCGS has graded just 64 coins at the Superb Gem levels (4/10).(
Registry values: N2998)
1928 $20 MS67 NGC. It is true that more than 8.8 million 1928 double eagles were struck, but a sizeable portion of the mintage was melted by the Federal government, and among the 100,000 or so Uncirculated survivors, most display bagmarks and grade MS65 or lower. But the present lustrous Superb Gem has only infrequent minor contact and the strike is razor-sharp, even on the lips and torch fingers. Census: 83 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(

Territorial Gold
(1837-42) G$1 C. Bechtler Dollar, N Reversed MS62 NGC. K-4, R.4. A pleasing and highly attractive example of this popular and memorable Bechtler variety. The recessed areas are canary-gold, while the fields are sky-gray and reddish-gold. Abrasions are primarily trivial, the sole exception is a brief, thin mark between the CA in CAROLINA. A minor and mostly retained lamination (as produced) passes across the R in CAROLINA. Listed on page 360 of the 2010 Guide Book. Census: 5 in 62, 3 finer (4/10).
(1837-42) $2 1/2 C. Bechtler Quarter Eagle, 67G. 21C. AU55 PCGS. K-10, R.5. The only noted die pair for the "67 grains, 21 carats" production run. This particular variety is the single most available Bechtler quarter eagle in today's market, with some estimates claiming that nearly half or even a majority of survivors are of this type. Though it comprises a large portion of the population, interest from Territorial type collectors has kept demand high.
Though accurate grading is sometimes difficult with territorial gold coins, this mustard-gold piece shows distinctly lustrous fields with just a touch of friction evident. The coloration is even, and the eye appeal is excellent. Listed on page 360 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 6 in 55, 5 finer (4/10).
1860 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle MS64 PCGS. K-1, R.4. The 1860 coinage was the first for the firm of Clark, Gruber & Co., of Denver, Colorado, and the firm would produce no more coins after 1861, becoming instead the forerunner of the United States Mint at Denver. The firm produced quarter eagles in both 1860 and 1861. What began as a banking establishment would grow to become the foremost private coiner in the Colorado Territory, with branches in Central City and Salt Lake City.
This 1860-dated Clark, Gruber quarter eagle is remarkable in more than one way: It not only shows the excellent production standards of the firm that helped make it the most respected Colorado private coiner, it also is excellently preserved, while most of the issue circulated, sometimes to a great degree. The surfaces are considerably prooflike on this greenish-gold specimen, a color that indicates a relatively high silver content in addition to the gold. A small planchet indentation appears near star 7, and a little planchet lamination is retained at star 6. The strike is somewhat weak through the centers of each side. There is no mentionable contact, an essential point that goes a long way toward explaining this coin's status as the single finest certified of this issue at PCGS. Listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1860 $5 Clark, Gruber & Co. Five Dollar AU50 PCGS. K-2, R.4. The firm of Clark, Gruber at first shipped their increasing amounts of gold dust to the Philadelphia Mint for coinage, an expensive approach that was fraught with problems. The firm's principals finally constructed their own mint in Denver, which was completed in early July 1860. Producing four denominations from quarter eagles through double eagles, the mint made each denomination in both 1860 and 1861, all evidently of full weight and well-respected in the region around Denver City. The 1860 five dollar pieces are similar to the 1860 quarter eagles in that they read CLARK & CO. on Liberty's coronet, with the addition of a period under CO. Also like the 1860 quarter eagles, they are often found weakly struck through the centers, as here. This piece offers lots of luster remaining over golden-yellow surfaces. A couple of small scrapes appear on Liberty's cheek, and on the reverse there is a planchet void, as made, behind OLD. An attractive example despite some minor drawbacks, listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 15 in 50, 64 finer (5/10).
1860 $5 Clark, Gruber & Co. Five Dollar AU53 PCGS. K-2, R.4. The Clark, Gruber firm's coinage operators appear to have taken a while to learn their equipment and their craft, as the 1860-dated pieces generally show soft strikes through the central areas, while the 1861-dated pieces are much sharper in terms of the central strike. This is a splendid yellow-orange five dollar piece with much luster remaining. The peripheral strike is quite bold, producing full centrils on all stars and good detail on the beaded cord in Liberty's hair, as well as on the outer eagle's wings and claws and the peripheral legends. Even under a loupe, this piece reveals no singular distractions. A beautiful coin. Listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 53, 59 finer (5/10).
1860 $5 Clark, Gruber & Co. Five Dollar AU58 PCGS. K-2, R.4. This piece proves the exception to the rule, as the central strike is quite well brought up on this half eagle, and atypical as such. The central high-point hair on Liberty is almost fully detailed, as are the feathers surrounding the shield on the reverse, although there is a bit of softness on the left (facing) leg and the shield border itself. Deep reddish-gold patina dominates on the obverse and on the reverse rim. A small retained planchet lamination appears at star 1. Listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 22 in 58, 23 finer (5/10).
1860 $10 Clark, Gruber & Co. Ten Dollar AU50 PCGS. K-3, R.5. The 1860 and 1861 Clark, Gruber ten dollar pieces are the largest of the firm's denominations usually seen, as the 1860 twenty dollar is extremely rare, with the 1861 making only an occasional appearance. During its short production of gold coins, the firm made nearly $600,000 worth before switching to the production of gold bars.
The 1860 Clark, Gruber tens are also quite elusive in AU or finer grades. Those coins deviated from the federal-style obverses of the quarter and half eagle, featuring instead a rather laughable attempt at depicting Pike's Peak as a triangular monolith with a few trees at its base. This admirable AU example displays generous luster remaining on yellow-gold surfaces that are free of major contact marks. Listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 8 in 50, 54 finer (5/10).
1860 $10 Clark, Gruber & Co. Ten Dollar AU53 PCGS. K-3, R.5. The 1860 Clark, Gruber coins deviated from the federal style of the quarter and half eagles not only in having a depiction of Pike's Peak on the obverse rather than a Liberty head, but they also featured the date 1860 on what is ostensibly the reverse, complete with federal-style eagle. Lots of prooflike luster remains on this AU53 example, which offers greenish-gold coloration and a paucity of mentionable abrasions. The strike is boldly impressed, and the eye appeal is over the top. Even though most of the Clark, Gruber coinage circulated as the product of a well-respected firm, this piece has obviously been the subject of longtime and loving preservation. Listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 9 in 53, 45 finer (5/10).
1861 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle XF40 PCGS. K-5a, R.4.
The Colorado Gold Rush, also known as the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, followed a similar pattern to the California Gold Rush, occurring less than a decade later. The discovery of gold in Colorado happened in 1849, but word spread only in 1857-58, and by 1858 a boom had started in the region around Pike's Peak. This 1861 quarter eagle has the initial eye appeal of a much higher grade, with clean-looking yellow-gold surfaces and no visible distractions. A loupe reveals the typical weak strike through the centers, along with a couple of minor scrapes. Minor recutting shows on star 7. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 40, 54 finer (5/10).
1861 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle AU53 PCGS. K-5a, R.4. The motto "Pike's Peak or Bust!" was the motto for the Fifty-Niners, as they came to be called in imitation of the Forty-Niners of California. The year 1859 was the peak year for the Fifty-Niners, and it is estimated that 100,000 of them came to the area seeking their fortunes--the first major influx of European-Americans into the area. The present 1861 quarter eagle has a rich look, with canary-gold fields complementing orange-gold high points. This still-lustrous piece is nearly devoid of abrasions, save for a small dig on the inside of the O in CO. on the reverse. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 53, 33 finer (5/10).
1861 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle AU55 PCGS. K-5a, R.4. The famous Pike's Peak Gold Rush and the state's mineral riches echo today in many place names in present-day Colorado, such as Golden, Aurora, Leadville, Silverton, and many others. The firm of Clark, Gruber made quarter eagles only in 1860 and 1861, but the 1861s are notably more elusive in the higher circulated grades and lower Mint State grades. This Choice AU example shows minor recutting on star 6, as do many examples, and we believe that the varieties listed as K-5 and K-5a are the same variety in a different die state. This is a lovely Choice AU piece with deep reddish-gold coloration, complementing tinges of violet and hazel on the reverse. This piece has an excellent strike through the centers, unlike most examples, and is remarkably attractive overall. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 16 in 55, 17 finer (5/10).
1861 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle MS61 PCGS. K-5a, R.4. The full extent of the Colorado Gold Rush became known only in 1858, and two brothers named Clark, Austin and Milton, made good profits selling goods to prospectors from their store in Leavenworth, Kansas. In March 1859, the Clark brothers began a partnership with Emanuel Gruber, redeeming gold dust for certificates of deposit.
This MS61 1861 Clark, Gruber quarter eagle is one of only six examples so certified at PCGS, and there are five finer (5/10). Minor recutting is once again visible on star 7, although here it is a bit more prominent than on some of the other examples in this same sale. The strike through the center of this piece is sharper than normally seen Generous luster radiates from both sides of this lemon-gold piece. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1861 $10 Clark, Gruber & Co. Ten Dollar AU55 PCGS. K-7, R.4. The 1861 Clark, Gruber ten dollar design reverted to a more federal style, with Liberty head on the obverse, PIKES PEAK on the coronet, and eagle on the reverse. The date 1861 was moved to the obverse. The 1861 tens, while still very scarce, are somewhat more obtainable than the firm's 1860-dated pieces. This 1861 ten offers splendid orange-gold patina and lots of eye appeal, a function of the adequate strike and scarcity of singular abrasions. Some tiny die cracks join portions of the peripheral legends on each side, and a small flawed area in the planchet appears on the lower reverse under the olive leaves. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 27 in 55, 17 finer (5/10).
1861 $10 Clark, Gruber & Co. Ten Dollar AU55 PCGS. K-7, R.4. Gold mining continues in Colorado to this day. At least three active gold mines are in operation today in Colorado, extracting thousands of ounces of pure gold annually from the rich earth. These Clark, Gruber gold coins are historic reminders of the mining legacy that continues today. This Choice AU example is a marvelous specimen, with lovely prevailing greenish-gold coloration. Some small die cracks appear at the peripheral elements, and a little planchet lamination is between the rim and star 3. Plenteous luster and an excellent strike complete the broad appeal. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 27 in 55, 17 finer (5/10).
1861 $20 Clark, Gruber $20 Copper Die Trial VF20 NGC. K-12c, R.6. There are only six stars in front of Liberty, with the seventh perched directly over the high point of the coronet she wears. On the reverse, the V in DENVER is normal as on the gold pieces, rather than defective as on the other reverse known for this copper issue. This historic coin has seen moderate wear, although due to its copper content we doubt it passed as a fifty dollar gold piece. Perhaps it was carried as a pocket by some old-timer as a remnant of the Pike's Peak Gold Rush? The well-preserved medium-brown surfaces show remarkably few signs of contact, save for a single small scrape under the eagle's left (facing) wing. Listed as a gold issue on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Banking House of C.A. Cook & Co. Twenty Five Cents Note. This note is pedigreed to the legendary Henry H. Clifford Collection of territorial gold, where it was cataloged by Bowers and Ruddy as:
"Denver, Colorado. Unissued, circa 1862. Vignette of hunter and rifle at left, standing figure of Columbia with shield at right. At the center is the denomination flanked by two reverses of a Seated quarter. The center vignettes are printed in green. 6 1/2 x 15 1/2 cm. Unused sample note, punch holed at signature blank.
The Rocky Mountain News of December 13, 1862 carried the following notice:
'Our people suffered great inconvenience in their business transactions in consequence of the great scarcity of small change. To remedy this difficulty in a measure, C.A. Cook & Co., bankers of this city, have gotten up very neatly lithographed notes of the denomination of ten, twenty-five, and fifty cents, and one dollar, which they redeem in current funds, when presented in the sum of five dollars. They will prove a great convenience to the business of our city, and the well-known integrity and responsibility of this house will secure them in general circulation.'
Dr. Nolie Mumey, in Colorado Territorial Scrip, a marvelous account of Colorado Territory note issuers (with many pages of information concerning Cook) wrote:
'The Cook notes, which circulated from 1861 to 1863, were redeemable and lawful currency at their place of business. Nearly $2,000 worth of notes were issued up to the time of the big fire in Denver, which occurred on Sunday, April 19, 1863. It started in the rear of the Cherokee House on Blake and F streets between two and three o'clock in the morning, and by daylight had destroyed half the business property, resulting in a loss of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The Cook building was the first to be burned to the ground. It is not known how many of the scrip notes were destroyed in the disastrous fire, nor how many were saved from the conflagration.
During the fire, Cook and Sears rushed into the burning building and rescued their cashbox... Cook and his associate withdrew the notes from circulation, redeemed all that were brought to them, and ceased issuing their scrip ... The Cook notes were at a premium during the Civil War and were considered better than the government notes.'
The Rocky Mountain News wrote on November 27, 1862:
'We ought to repudiate all currency issued in any other state or territory but not our own. We have a bullion currency, they have not. We attach more value and safety to the issues of C.A. Cook & Co. of this city than to any other of the small notes in circulation here, and for the simple reason we all know the firm and have been familiar with its business for two or three years and are perfectly satisfied with its responsibility and integrity. Another thing Cook & Co. have only $2,000, all told, of those small notes, and only introduce them for the convenience of themselves and the public.'
Years ago, Edgar H. Adams, the well known New York numismatist who studied Territorial gold coins and patterns, among other things, wrote to E.B. Morgan of Denver concerning a Cook 20-cent note:
'So far as I can learn, it is the only note of the Cook issue extant and I was much gratified to come in its possession at the Chambers sale held in Philadelphia a year or two ago. ... It is certainly a very interesting piece of Colorado paper currency, but what it will bring I cannot hazard a guess.'"

1851 $50 RE Humbert Fifty Dollar, Reeded Edge, 887 Thous. XF45 NGC. K-6, R.4. From the first year of production at the U.S. Assay Office, operated by Moffat & Co. under the nominal authority of U.S. Assayer Augustus Humbert. This moderately circulated fifty dollar "slug" has few edge marks, unlike most circulated survivors of this coveted early variety. Abrasions are distributed and relatively minor save for a small cluster near the CA in AMERICA. The pale gold fields are slightly granular, and luster glimmers from the wings and scrollwork. Listed on page 364 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1852 $10 Humbert Ten Dollar AU55 NGC. K-10a, Low R.4. Incorrectly designated by NGC as a U.S. Assay variety, which implies K-12 or K-12a. This is a lightly circulated, partly lustrous, and moderately abraded example of Kagin's "IINITED" variety. The U has an appearance of II due to die crumbing and a crack along the base of UNITED. Census: 5 in 55, 10 finer (4/10). Listed on page 366 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1852 $10 Assay Office Ten Dollar AU50 NGC. K-12a(2). This is the later die state with weak border details, especially on the die cracked reverse with its cracks from the left border just before 9 o'clock to the O in OFFICE and branching to the SA in SAN. A pleasing green-gold example, this piece has minor surface marks consistent with the grade, accompanying its considerable luster. Listed on page 365 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1852 $10 Assay Office Ten Dollar AU55 PCGS. K-12, High R.7. Ex: S.S. Central America. SSCA 7214. The reverse has the O in OFFICE below the I of UNITED, distinguishing this extremely rare variety from its "merely" rare counterparts. This AU55 example remains impressively lustrous with occasional alloy spots at the centers of otherwise yellow-gold surfaces. The reverse exhibits scattered rim nicks and abrasions within the geometric pattern, yet the eye appeal is strong, and this must be considered an important survivor, not only for its variety, but also its impressive condition and history. Comes with faux-book case and outer box. Listed on page 365 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1853 $20 Assay Office Twenty Dollar, 900 Thous. AU58 NGC. K-18, R.2. Luster dominates the design of this pioneer gold coin, and is absent only across the open fields. The peripheries display hints of cherry-red, while the devices and fields are sun-gold. K-18 was produced from hubbed dies, the only such Kagin variety within the Humbert and Assay Office series. Listed on page 367 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1849 $5 Moffat & Co. Five Dollar--Cleaned, Scratched--ANACS. XF45 Details. K-4, R.5. Bold clash marks appear on the reverse near GOLD, as often seen on this issue in this die state, which lacks the prominent die cracks through DO in DOLLARS. This is a much more attractive coin than the ANACS caveats imply. A few moderate scrapes appear in the obverse field and on Liberty's cheek, but much charm and appeal remain on this piece. The reddish-gold surfaces may have been lightly cleaned at one time but are retoning nicely. The strike is bold, and the reverse is relatively free of distractions. Listed on page 363 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1850 $5 Mormon Five Dollar AU58 NGC. K-5, High R.5. When the Mormons first came in 1847 to Salt Lake City in Utah, or Deseret as they would call it, about fifty dollars that their prophet Joseph Young brought with him was virtually all the money they had, wrote historian H.H. Bancroft. According to the December 20, 2004 Coin World article "Mormons arrive to gold" by Eric von Klinger, while the Mormons could rely on internal barter within their community, when it came to commerce with the rest of the world, specie in the form of gold and silver was needed. The Mormons arrived just as the 1847 war with Mexico was concluding, and in 1848 gold was discovered in California. By 1849, shipments of California gold began arriving in Salt Lake City, enabling the Mormons to strike their own gold currency.
According to the article, a group of 500 Mormon volunteers was released from serving in the War With Mexico in 1847, rejoining their brethren in Utah and bringing their pay with them--about $5,000 in gold. Young likely appropriated all of that in exchange for tithe credits, using the specie to buy cattle for the Mormons.
By late 1848 the Mormons had built a modest mint, producing ten dollar coins first, a total of 46 coins dated 1849, according to Donald Kagin. Five dollar and twenty dollar pieces dated 1849 followed, with the twenty dollar pieces being the first struck in the United States.
The Mormon 1850 five dollar pieces feature a similar design to the 1849-dated pieces, but the dies were redesigned and examples are uniformly better-struck than the 1849s, except on the clasped hands. The 1850 five dollar coins would be the last produced by the Mormons for a decade.
This example shows uniform subdued luster over the brownish-gold surfaces, and there is little actual wear visible. A few small contact marks scattered about are individually insignificant, save for a small patch below the 8 in the date. This piece is among the finest certified by NGC, one of nine at the AU 58 level, with four finer (4/10). Listed on page 376 of the 2010 Guide Book.
1852 $10 Wass Molitor Ten Dollar, Large Head, Wide Date XF40 PCGS. K-4, R.5. The reverse lacks the bisecting die crack sometimes seen, and yet the obverse die appears quite close to failure, with several interesting cracks. Two heavy ones intersect at star 1, one running along the bust truncation, the second downward to the rim, while at least seven other cracks appear near the obverse peripheries. The greenish-gold surfaces are attractive and "dished" toward the obverse, as always, so that the reverse appears to have more wear (and/or a weaker strike) than the obverse. This lustrous golden-orange piece has a lot of appeal, despite the wear and strike difficulty. Listed on page 372 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 27 in 40, 55 finer (4/10).
S.S.C.A. Relic Gold Medals
1857/0 SSCA Relic Gold Medal "1857/0 Baldwin & Co. Ten" Deep Cameo Proof PCGS. The famous 1850 Baldwin "Horseman" Territorial ten dollar issue serves as the design inspiration for this 2002 restrike. An immaculate example with unimprovable cameo contrast. Dated 1857/0 on the obverse and 2002 on the reverse. The source bullion came from a Justh & Hunter ingot recovered from the S.S. Central America shipwreck. Counterstamped JUSTH & HUNTER/4258 on the reverse. The certificate of authenticity and presentation box of issue are included with the lot.
1857/0 SSCA Relic Gold Medal "1857/0 Baldwin & Co. Ten" Deep Cameo Proof PCGS. A virtually flawless specimen with mirrored fields and radiant, fully struck devices. Struck from .898 Fine gold from a melted down ingot recovered from the 1857 S.S. Central America shipwreck. The ingot was made by Gold Rush assayers Justh & Hunter, and the serial number of that ingot, 4258, is counterstamped on the upper reverse field. A presentation box and certificate of authenticity accompany the lot.
California Fractional Gold
1853 $1 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-519, Low R.4, MS62 PCGS. The orange-gold and olive-green surfaces shimmer with luster, and neither side has any visible marks. Sharply impressed save for the upper reverse and the star beneath the bust tip. Population: 26 in 62, 11 finer (4/10).
From The Classic Collection.
1853 $1 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-530, R.2, MS62 PCGS. This lustrous pumpkin-gold Period One octagonal dollar is sharply struck and unblemished. The portrait of Liberty has "fine style," something that cannot be said for many of the Period Two varieties. Population: 38 in 62, 14 finer (5/10).
1872 25C Washington Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-722, Low R.4, MS64 PCGS. The various Washington Head types of California fraction gold are a popular subset among collectors, and the scarce BG-722 octagonal quarter dollar is no exception. This near-Gem example has bold sun-yellow color and partial reflectivity in faintly textured fields. Population: 37 in 64, 57 finer (4/10).
1871 25C Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-765, R.3, MS66 Prooflike NGC. This is a relatively available Period Two variety with the Liberty Head. Some of the stars are joined with tiny die cracks to the rim, and other cracks triangulate the central device. Liberty's nose is "broken" at the top from die polishing. This golden-yellow Premium Gem shows the usual Prooflike surfaces.
1880 25C Indian Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-799X MS65 Prooflike NGC. Misattributed by NGC as BG-799Y. Both varieties share the same reverse die, but the obverses differ, particularly in the width of the date. This well struck Gem has dazzling field reflectivity and consistent sun-gold color. Census: 4 in 65 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).
1872 25C Liberty Round 25 Cents, BG-816, R.6, MS65 PCGS. Frontier & Bellemere. The BG-814 through BG-816 entries share an obverse, though there are subtle differences in the reverse design. This gleaming green-gold example is part of the very rare BG-816 variety, well-defined and impressively preserved. Tied for the finest certified by PCGS (4/10).
1872 25C Washington Round 25 Cents, BG-818, Low R.4, MS62 NGC. A gorgeous Washington Head 25 cent piece, this small California gold piece has frosty and lustrous devices that float across the reflective fields. The Washington design is a popular issue today, as it has been since it was first made. Census: 1 in 62, 7 finer (5/10).
1872 25C Washington Round 25 Cents, BG-818, Low R.4, MS63 PCGS. Here is a remarkable example of the famous and popular Washington Head California fractional gold piece. Some weakness is evident on Washington's profile. Both sides have frosty luster and the obverse displays a lovely combination of green-gold fields and rose-gold devices. Population: 24 in 63, 57 finer (4/10).
1872 50C Liberty Round 50 Cents, BG-1013, Low R.6, MS66 NGC. Excellent mirrors, if a bit obscured on the obverse so that NGC withheld an otherwise well-deserved Prooflike designation. Carefully preserved with gleaming green-gold color and top-flight eye appeal. Census: 1 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).
1869 $1 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1106, High R.4, MS63 PCGS. Ex: Bass. Yellow-gold luster is mildly reflective with orange overtones. A pleasing example of this popular octagonal dollar variant with few significant abrasions for the grade. Population: 9 in 63, 1 finer (4/10).
1871 $1 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1109, Low R.4, MS63 PCGS. Ex: Bass. This lemon-gold octagonal dollar has what ancient collectors call "fine style." That is, the portrait was well engraved, something that cannot be said about many entries in the small denomination gold series. No marks are consequential, although minute carbon is scattered. Population: 13 in 63, 7 finer (4/10).
1876 $1 Indian Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1113, R.7, AU55 PCGS. A remarkable example of this extremely rare variety, a full grade range finer than the plate coin from Breen-Gillio (also the only other example that Heritage has offered). Still-lustrous surfaces are dusky yellow-gold, and well struck devices exhibit only minor wear. Population: 2 in 55, 0 finer (4/10).
1872 $1 Indian Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1120, Low R.5, MS64 PCGS. This Mohrig Period Two issue shows a large star below DOLLAR, a berry left of the middle of the D. The same obverse was used on BG-1119 and 1121, easily identifiable by the period after the date. The striking details are remarkably sharp on each side, and the fields show the usual bright prooflike reflectivity. Population: 13 in 64, 1 finer (4/10).
1876/5 $1 Indian Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1129, R.4 AU58 NGC. This yellow-gold Borderline Uncirculated example has flashy fields and only a hint of friction on the Indian's cheek, ear, hair, and bust truncation. Pleasantly devoid of marks. Census: 2 in 58, 12 finer (4/10).
1870 $1 Liberty Round 1 Dollar, BG-1203, Low R.5, MS62 PCGS. There are only eight different Breen-Gillio varieties of Period Two round dollars, compared to the 132 or so varieties of Period Two octagonal quarters. The scarcity of round dollars as a California small denomination explains the premiums that they sell for. The present green-gold representative has lightly abraded surfaces, moderately reflective fields, and minor incompleteness of strike on the DO in DOLLAR. Population: 6 in 62, 9 finer (4/10).
