Auction 372 | Lot 5051 » Half Cents

1804 1/2 C Crosslet 4, Stems--Double Struck, First Strike Off Center--VF20 NGC. B-8, C-9, R.2. The initial strike was about 35% off center toward 9 o'clock. The piece was sent through the dies again, and the second strike was properly centered. The H and C from the denomination are obvious along the left reverse margin. The top and bottom outline of the portrait are present on the left obverse border. A prominent die break (as made) is above the RTY in LIBERTY. (PCGS# 1069)

1872 3CN PR65 NGC. A whisper of beige-gold patina visits each side, and the design elements are well struck, with great definition on the lines of the III. A couple of trivial marks on Liberty's temple and cheek are not bothersome. NGC has certified just 20 specimens higher (3/05). (PCGS# 3768)

Auction 372 | Lot 5940 » Nickels » Shield Nickels

1881 5C PR66 NGC. Although 3,575 proofs were struck, this date usually commands a slight premium because of the relatively low mintage (69,000 pieces) of the business strikes of this year. Bright surfaces are visited by freckles of milky-gray color, and are devoid of any mentionable marks. The design elements are boldly impressed throughout. NGC has certified only 26 specimens finer (3/05). (PCGS# 3836)

1883 T$1 PR66 Cameo NGC. Final year of issue for the Trade Dollar (except for the ultra-rare 1884 and 1885 issues), and one of only 979 pieces struck, all of which were proofs. This virtually untoned specimen exhibits modest cameo effect on the obverse and a more starkly contrasted reverse. Undisturbed mirror surfaces provide ample sparkle when held beneath a light. Population: 12 in 66, 7 finer (3/05). (PCGS# 87063)

Auction 372 | Lot 9795 » Silver and Related Dollars » Morgan Dollars

1892-S $1 MS60 NGC. The 1892-S is the second scarcest issue in the entire Morgan series, next only to the 1893-S. While relatively available in XF and AU condition, Uncirculated examples of the 1892-S are extremely rare and seldom offered at public auction or in dealer's showcases. This is an attractive example that is untoned with a few small blemishes overall and some notable scuffiness in the obverse field, these being the essential grade-limiting factors. The luster is a bit thin, but it does cover all the surfaces from fields to devices. (PCGS# 7218)

There is no indication of the often seen clash marks usually associated with survivors from the mintage of 4,952 coins. (PCGS# 7553)

1844 $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. The 1844 Quarter Eagle is an underappreciated rarity in all grades and is particularly challenging in grades even approaching Mint State. When offered at all, this issue of just 6,784 pieces is apt to grade no finer than a low-end AU. Offered here is a bright, lustrous green-gold example with a touch of striking softness on the major devices. Population: 12 in 55, 8 finer (4/05). (PCGS# 7734)

Auction 372 | Lot 8484 » Quarter Eagles » Liberty Quarter Eagles

1885 $2 1/2 AU53 NGC. It is a very unusual and pleasant opportunity to be able to offer one of the rarest Liberty Quarter Eagles in the entire series. The 1885 has the fourth lowest business strike mintage--800 pieces--of any Liberty Quarter Eagle coin, next to the 1881, the 1875, and the prohibitively rare 1854-S. One theory for the exceedingly low business strike production is that even as late as the 1880s, individuals could come personally and bring their gold to the mint for conversion into coin of the realm. There was a glut of gold coins, particularly in the East, and no production had been specified. Maybe these precious few coins were produced from direct public demand. From this tiny mintage, a total of 99 pieces have been certified by both services in all grades, undoubtedly, some of which are certainly resubmissions. AUs seem to be the median grade for the date, and this specimen hits right in the middle. The strike is sharp and the surfaces still show some prooflike reflectivity. This is truly an opportunity for the astute gold buyer, as this is an exceptional coin that is rarely offered for sale. (PCGS# 7837)
