None Graded Higher – 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS68

dyann

The 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar, struck during the midst of World War II to the extent of more than 47 million pieces, is a common coin which can be found in circulated condition in bags of 90% silver to this day. That said, this issue is far from common in this exceptional state of preservation. The NGC population is just 13 with none graded higher. This one is delicately toned and pristine in its appearance.

Listed at $19,200 in the CDN CPG and $17,000 in the NGC population report.

Offered at $9,300

Rare 1926-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS62

dyann

The 1926-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a more than adequate mintage of 481,000 pieces, but the issue is much more elusive than the production total suggests. In fact, the 1926-D was considered one of the rarest issues of the series when collecting double eagles first became popular, in the 1940s. Most of the mintage was held in Mint or Treasury vaults to serve as currency reserves until the Gold Recall of 1933 took effect. The coins in government storage were all melted and stored as gold bars at the Fort Knox Bullion Depository afterward. Fortunately, some of the coins were used to settle accounts in foreign trade before the Recall. A number of specimens were repatriated from foreign holdings after World War II, increasing the small supply for collectors. The 1926-D remains a scarce issue, however, especially in high grade. Roger W. Burdette estimates the surviving population at about 600 examples in all grades.

1865-S (“Brother Jonathan”) Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS63

dyann

Listed at $16,800 in the CDN CPG and $20,000 in the NGC price guide.

Overloaded with heavy equipment plus more than 240 passengers and crew, the S.S. Brother Jonathan sank on July 30, 1865 off the coast of California near Crescent City, when it hit an uncharted rock in a fierce gale and heavy seas. A single lifeboat saved 11 crew members, plus five women and three children in California’s greatest maritime disaster. Also lost was a treasure of freshly minted gold coin intended as payments to government troops and Indian tribes.
Reportedly only 20% of the gold treasure was recovered in 1996 salvage operations, including 1,207 gold coins — primarily double eagles. More than 500 of those pieces were dated 1865-S, in conditions ranging from AU to MS66.

1872 Indian Cent PCGS MS65RD

dyann

The 1872 Indian cent claims a mintage of just over 4 million pieces. Many examples were struck from planchets made from re-melted coins of earlier years and the quality of these blanks was uneven. Many examples show streaks due to improper alloy mix and the issue is often seen with a weak strike. Richard Snow believes the 1872 is the most difficult issue of the series to find in high grade, outside of the famous 1877.

The PCGS population is 17 with 6 graded higher, 4 of the latter being MS65+ examples.

Listed at $16,200 in the CDN CPG and $16,000 in the PCGS price guide.
