Branch Mint Proof 1838-O Reeded Edge Half and Husak Large Cents, 1793-1814, Lead Heritage Long Beach Auction

Dallas, TX: The Official Auction of the February 2008 Long Beach Coin Expo has been posted by Heritage Auction Galleries on their HA.com website. Combining the lots in the Signature, Husak, and Final Session catalogs of U.S. coins, more than 5,500 lots will be available for viewing and bidding in Long Beach. The Auction dates are February 14-16, 2008, and the auction will be held at the Long Beach (CA) Convention Center

"This Long Beach has three stars," commented Heritage President Greg Rohan, "one coin and two collections! The first star is an absolutely classic numismatic rarity. The 1838-O half dollar is one of the most celebrated properties in America's numismatic history, and mystery surrounds its rich history. The generally accepted mintage figure is 20 coins, based upon a handwritten note that accompanied the 1838-O half dollar sold in June 1894 by Edouard Frossard: "The enclosed specimen coin of the U.S. branch mint at New Orleans is presented to Pres. Bache by Rufus Tyler the coiner. It may be proper to state that not more than 20 pieces were struck with the half dollar dies of 1838." Eleven examples have been traced, most with significant pedigrees including Boyd, Empire, Hawn, Norweb, Boyd, Green, Anderson-Dupont, Parmalee, Eliasberg, Newcomer, and Atwater (this coin). This may also be the finest known survivor."

"The second star of Long Beach," continued Rohan, "is the Husak Collection of Early U.S. Large Cents, which may well be the greatest ever formed. It includes virtually every Sheldon number in the 1793 to 1814 series (a remarkable 299 of the 302 Sheldon-numbered varieties and sub-varieties), and the grades are remarkable. Included are many Mint State pieces, numerous Condition Census examples, and several are the finest known. Mr. Husak started collecting with two goals: 1) the acquisition of coins that were attractive and pleasant, preferably in the Condition Census; 2) the acquisition of coins with exceptional pedigrees. Despite the serious challenges implicit in goal goals, Mr. Husak has succeeded brilliantly! Visit HA.com to see what all the excitement is about."

"The third star in Long Beach," continued Rohan, "is the Southwest Collection - a truly great offering of gem-quality rare coins that are simply amazing. Valued at more than four million dollars, these eye-appealing coins combine rarity with eye-appeal. The quality of virtually every coin places it among the finest known, and their eye-appeal continues throughout the collection of Mint State and Proof coins. In many case, the consignor chose better dates - note the 1916-D Mercury Dime graded MS65 Full Bands NGC, or his 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter in MS66 Full Head NGC for those types! The Southwest Collection was meticulously assembled by a connoisseur of cultural artifacts of many types. This serious collector has demonstrated an ability to procure the best in all his diverse collecting interests which typically demonstrated his willingness to 'pay the price' to obtain the best. A prominent and successful executive, the same dedication that he brought to his business endeavors is evident in his collecting successes."

"With the interest in these coins that we have already seen" concluded Rohan, "we are expecting to give our new Heritage Live online bidding system its most strenuous workout yet! We expect more Internet bidders to participate in Long Beach - and to win more lots as well!"

Long Beach anchor consignments include: The Harold C. Ayres VMD Collection; The Al Blythe Collection of Half Dimes; The Jimmy G. PCGS Registry Collection of Morgan Dollars with Varieties; The Walter J. Husak Collection; The Liberty Collection of United States Colonial Coinage, Part Two; The Scheppman Collection, #4 PCGS Registry of Full Band Mercury Dimes; The Southwest Collection; and The John J. Stimson, Sr. Collection, Part Two.

Additional highlights from Heritage's Feb. 2008 Long Beach:

• Lot 11: 1797 Half Dime 16 Stars, MS64 NGC, V-4, LM-2, R.4. CAC. It is conjectured that the 16 star half dimes were issued in anticipation of Tennessee being admitted to the Union as the 16th state. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 23: 1837 Small Date (Flat Top 1), No Stars Half Dime MS68 NGC, V.6 The finest graded at NGC, this is an absolutely splendid example of an 1837 No Stars half dime. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 36: 1840-O Half Dime, Drapery, Small Round O, V.7, AU58 NGC A rare, late-state 1840-O V.7, with 'Open Bud' reverse and small O, R.7. Late Die State. The Mint introduced new half dime and dime hubs in 1840 that continued through 1853. From The Al Blythe Collection of Half Dimes.
• Lot 83: 1827 Dime, MS67 PL NGC, JR-12 The finest-graded of any 1827 dime, this wonderful example of the JR-12 variety clearly shows the joining of the final A in AMERICA and the adjacent arrowhead. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 88: 1831 Dime, MS67 NGC, JR-3. CAC. An amazing Superb Gem with sharp design features, frosty silver luster, and faint traces of champagne toning, and probably the finest known of the variety. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 232: 1916-D Dime, MS65 Full Bands NGC This amazing Gem is frosty and sharply struck with elegant luster and light, lovely aquamarine and silver-tan shadings, with full separation of the bands. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 341: 1806/5 B-1 Overdate Quarter, B-1, R.3. MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1806/5 overdate quarter is one of the prominent, "naked eye" overdates that are so popular with collectors today. Ex: Randall Collection; Garrett Collection; Johns Hopkins University. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 357: 1853 Arrows and Rays Quarter, MS67 NGC. The Act of February 21, 1853, reduced the weight of silver coins to a figure that would eliminate bullion dealers' profits and thus discourage further melting, which required an identifying mark to distinguish them from earlier mintages: arrows at each side of the date, with rays behind the eagle. None certified finer. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 394: 1896-S Quarter, MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1896-S, despite a mintage over four times that of the 1913-S, is far more elusive than the later issue in Mint State grades. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 412: 1901-S Quarter MS65 NGC The key date of the quarter series, Barber specialist David Lawrence referred to this issue as "the king of all Barber coinage." This is among the finest known. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 452: 1913-S Quarter, MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1913-S is third behind the 1896-S and 1901-S Barber quarters for rarity within the series, with these dates forming the "Big Three" of the Barber quarter series. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 477: 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, MS66 Full Head NGC. The fourth edition of Standing Liberty Quarters opines that less than 3% of the minuscule mintage of 52,000 pieces comes with a Full Head, and this is among the finest known. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 526: 1795 Half Dollar, 2 Leaves, Blundered Die O-113a. MS64 NGC. The obverse die is immediately recognized by the heavy die chip between the 5 and final star, and the blundered reverse die by the engraving error with the A in STATES punched over the E. This specimen, Ex: Eliasberg, is probably the finest known. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 528: 1796 15 Stars Half Dollar, O-101, R.5. MS63 NGC. The appearance of any Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar at auction is cause for excitement, which escalates with a Mint State coin. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 576: 1826 Half Dollar, MS67 NGC. O-120, Low R.4. Both dies are perfect on this early die state example, which is the finest known survivor.
• Lot 827: 1794 $1, XF45 PCGS. B-1, BB-1, R.4. This, the Eliasberg 1794 Silver Dollar, is far finer than the usual strike, with every digit, star, and letter on the obverse completely outlined. Ex: Charles P. Britton Collection; S.H. & H. Chapman; E.S. Norris Collection; J.M. Clapp; John H. Clapp; Clapp Estate; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.
• Lot 834: 1795 Flowing Hair $1, B-2, BB-20, Two Leaves Variety. MS64 NGC. The Flowing Hair, Small Eagle design was the first struck silver coinage after the opening of First Philadelphia Mint in 1793, used on half dimes, half dollars, and silver dollars dated 1794 and 1795. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 1039: 1915-S Panama-Pacific $50 Round, MS65 NGC. CAC. Although legislation to authorize the Panama-Pacific International Exposition commemoratives was well-known to Treasury officials in the months leading up to January 1915, the Mint did not formally commission artists until after the passage of legislation, which occurred on the 13th of that month. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 1043: 1915-S Panama-Pacific $50 Round, MS64 NGC. An impressive coin from a net mintage of just 483 pieces. From The John Stimson, Sr. Collection, Part Two.
• Lot 1044: 1915-S Panama-Pacific $50 Octagonal, MS63 NGC. Robert Aitken, who received the commission for the fifty dollar round and octagonal Panama-Pacific commemoratives, had a distinct impact on the diameter of the pieces he designed. From The John Stimson, Sr. Collection, Part Two.
• Lot 1046: 1915-S Panama-Pacific $50 Octagonal, MS65 PCGS. CAC. A truly splendid example of this classic American commemorative coin, and one that deserves the attention and commands the respect of any serious numismatist. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 1285: 1888-O Doubled Die Obverse Dollar, AU55 PCGS. VAM 4, the so-called 'Hot Lips' variety, is a "Top 100" Morgan variety. From The Jimmy G. PCGS Registry Collection of Morgan Dollars with Varieties.
• Lot 1427: 1895-O $1, MS63 PCGS 1895 is perhaps the most legendary year in the entire Morgan dollar series, and the low mintage 1895-O and 1895-S are key issues that raise eyebrows in all Mint State grades. From The Jimmy G. PCGS Registry Collection of Morgan Dollars with Varieties.
• Lot 1533: 1882 $1, PR68 Cameo NGC. With its powerful strike, remarkable preservation, and distinct contrast, this outstanding PR68 Cameo Morgan dollar is one of the most desirable exemplars for its issue. None certified finer. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 1588: 2000-P Sacagawea $1, "Cheerios" MS67 PCGS. The 2000 promotion that put new cents and Sacagawea dollars in boxes of Cheerios cereal was a newsworthy coin awareness campaign, but when eagle-eyed collectors discovered that the dies used to strike the 5,500 dollars differed from those used to coin the rest of the production run, they became instant rarities. This example comes with its original packaging.
• Lot 1662: An Important Group of Lincoln-Related Items From the Estate of Charles Eliot Norton
• Lot 2301: 1792 Disme, Judd-11, Pollock-12, R.8, Genuine PCGS. This coin is possibly a presentation piece of the Plain Edge 1792 disme and that the coin possesses cancellation marks.
• Lot 2330: 1854 Type Two Gold Dollar, MS68 NGC. The Small Head Type Two gold dollar, struck for only three years, is a notoriously scarce type, and none have been certified finer than this beauty. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2362: 1844-D $2.50 MS63 NGC. Variety 5-H. This lovely coin is tied for the second finest on the Condition Census.
• Lot 2365: 1847-C $2.50, MS64 NGC. Variety 8-F This is one of the finest known Charlotte quarter eagles of any date.
• Lot 2385: 1877 $2.50 PR66 Cameo NGC Among the low-mintage proof quarter eagles of the 1870s, the coins of 1877 are perhaps the most famous. Ex: Byron Reed, this Gem is From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2386: 1883 $2.50, PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. The 1883 proof quarter eagle issue has a mintage of 82 specimens, a tiny figure by today's standards, and this extraordinary Gem is among the top three survivors.
• Lot 2387: 1895 $2.50, PR66 Cameo NGC. CAC. This coin's most impressive qualities include intense depths of watery reflectivity in the fields, especially on the obverse where there is almost no milkiness or cloudiness apparent. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2401: 1908 $2.50, PR67 NGC A virtually perfect proof with even color and a razor-sharp strike.
• Lot 2408: 1854-D $3 AU58 NGC Following the authorization of the three dollar gold piece, a trio of Mints (Philadelphia, Dahlonega, and New Orleans), struck the denomination in 1854; the Georgia facility struck only 1,120 examples, which are the most sought-after of the three dollar gold issues.
• Lot 2412: 1854-O $3, AU58 PCGS The current coin is sure to garner the attention of experienced numismatists, as the eye appeal and technical aspects seem to beckon to a higher grade.
• Lot 2445: 1879 $4 Flowing Hair, Judd-1635, Pollock-1833, R.3, PR65 NGC. This is a beautiful Gem proof example of the immensely popular four-dollar "goloid" pattern, more popularly known as the "stella," one of the few pattern designs in our country's history that have proven interesting enough and important enough to be collected alongside regular issue coinage. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2453: 1804 'Small 8' $5, MS63 NGC. Breen-6443, BD-1, High R.4. The 1 in the date has a blunt top, and the 8 is normal (formerly called the Small 8, but Bass and Dannreuther say it is the correct size).
• Lot 2457: 1806 $5, Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars, MS64, NGC. Breen-6448, BD-6. This variety is attributed by the knobbed 6 that touches the lower bust, 7 stars left and 6 right on the obverse, and the noticeably small A's in AMERICA. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2460: 1807 $5 Bust Left MS64 PCGS. Breen-6453, BD-8, R.2. This die pairing is easily distinguished by the lone 1807 Capped Bust Left obverse combined with a reverse where the tip of the feather points to the tip of the flag of the 5.
• Lot 2463: 1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS64 NGC. Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. Four different die marriages were struck dated 1810 and included all combinations of Large and Small Date, and Large and Small 5 in the denomination.
• Lot 2464: 1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5, MS65 NGC. Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. Over its entire six-year run, fewer than 400,000 Capped Bust Left pieces were struck, and most were exported overseas and promptly melted for bullion. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2481: 1837 $5 MS66 NGC. Large Date, Large 5, Breen-6512, McCloskey 2-B, R.3. One of only three die marriages known for this date, the Large Date obverse is best identified by its Block 8 style (the Small Date variety has a Script 8). From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2536: 1857-O $5, MS63 PCGS. Ex: Ashland City, this is the Finest Known by two points.
• Lot 2541: 1859-C $5 MS63 NGC. Variety 27-M is the only known die pair for the 1859-C half eagle.
• Lot 2579: 1860 $5, PR66 Cameo NGC. Despite a stated mintage of 62 proofs, the 1860 five dollar gold is far more elusive in proof format than that figure might suggest. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2591: 1909-O $5, MS62 PCGS The 1909-O half eagle is the premier star in the series, the only New Orleans gold coin to feature the attractive and popular Indian Head design, and a key-date issue with only 34,200 minted.
• Lot 2605: 1908 $5, PR66 NGC Collectors in 1908 received a double surprise when they ordered proof gold coins from the Mint: revolutionary new designs on the quarter eagle and half eagle, and all the coins were struck with a new matte finish rather than the traditional brilliant finish. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2606: 1910 $5 PR67 NGC The special nature of Roman Finish gold is not generally appreciated by collectors, especially after the 1908 transition from brilliant finish to the matte finish. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2607: 1795 $10 13 Leaves, AU53 Details ANACS. Breen-6830, Taraszka-1, BD-1, High R.3. In 1795, gold half eagles and eagles were coined at the Philadelphia Mint, with the first delivery of eagles dated September 22, consisting of 1,097 coins.
• Lot 2646: 1903 $10, PR65 NGC. CAC. The present specimen is the first proof 1903 eagle Heritage has offered at auction since May 2004. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2664: 1908 $10 Motto PR66 NGC The matte proofing process had been used in England and France for several years prior its use on regular coinage in the United States. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2680: 1860-O $20 AU58 Prooflike NGC This amazing double eagle is the second finest certified 1860-O double eagle.
• Lot 2682: 1861-O $20 AU53 NGC A stunning representative of the final New Orleans coinage prior to its Civil War closure; according to one researcher, the strong date issues (with the crack) are the coins produced by the Confederacy.
• Lot 2690: 1866-S $20 Motto MS61 NGC An amazing double eagle that really should be nonexistent in Mint State grades.
• Lot 2784: 1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim MS66 PCGS In his award-winning book Renaissance of American Coinage, 1905-1908, Roger Burdette gives praise to the unsung heroes of the Mint who made coins such as the High Relief possible!
• Lot 2785: 1907 $20 High Relief, Flat Rim MS67 NGC The Renaissance of American Coinage 1905-1908, according to author Burdette, reminds us that we have President Theodore Roosevelt to thank for these marvelous designs.
• Lot 2788: 1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS67 PCGS By June 20, 1907, Saint-Gaudens and Roosevelt had agreed that the double eagle should be struck in low relief and with the date in European digits.
• Lot 2828: 1924-D $20 MS65 NGC. While D-mint double eagles dated as late as 1923 were heavily represented in overseas hoards, pieces from 1924 and beyond are considerably less available.
• Lot 2843: 1908 $20 Motto PR66 NGC. The coarse-grained matte finish shows the usual rich khaki-green color. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2853: 1861 $20 Clark, Gruber & Co. ANACS. Unc Details, Net AU50. Clark, Gruber & Co. established a "bank and mint" in Denver in 1860, opening for business on July 10.
• Lot 2926: 1776 Continental Dollar, CURENCY, Pewter, MS63 NGC. CAC. Breen-1089, Newman 1-C, Hodder 1-A.3, R.3. Directly below the sundial are the words MIND YOUR BUSINESS, a Benjamin Franklinesque admonition that echoes Franklin's actual involvement with the Continental dollars. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 2989: 1793 Washington Ship Halfpenny, Copper, Plain Edge XF45 PCGS. Breen-1226, R.8. An extremely rare item, with only two or three known.
• Lot 3002: 1793 Chain Cent, AMERICA, XF45 PCGS. CAC. S-3, B-3, R.3. The obverse is easily identified by the straight bust line, and the large R in LIBERTY, while the reverse is the only die with AMERICA spelled out in its entirety. From The Southwest Collection.
• Lot 3009: 1794 Cent, Head of 1794, AG3 PCGS. S-33, B-19, R.6. The famous Wheelspoke Variety is named for the radial die cracks that extend inward from the reverse border.
