It ain't political, it's structural: End the Fed, impose some external budget constraint. Until then, we uniparty right off the fiscal cliff. https://t.co/0VBEMsQdef — Peter St Onge, Ph.D. (@profstonge) April 20, 2023

1874-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU58
The Carson City Mint struck a substantial mintage of 115,085 Liberty double eagles in 1874, but the survival rate for the issue is below average. In The Confident Carson City Coin Collector , Rusty Goe notes less than 2% of the reported mintage is extant today, and many of those coins were repatriated from foreign holdings in recent years.

The 1912 Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a smallish mintage of 149,750 coins.

Highly Pleasing Scarcity – 1861 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS64
The 1861 Liberty double eagle is one of the most popular type coins among No Motto issues, struck to the extent of more than 2.9 million coins. Prior to the discovery of the S.S. Central America and its hold of thousands of 1857-S and 1856-S double eagles, the 1861 was recognized as the most plentiful Type One issue in high grade.

One of the Finest Known – 1854-O Arrows Half Dollar PCGS MS67
The New Orleans Mint pushed the limits of the obverse die, which shows numerous die cracks and a prominent die clash to the right of Liberty’s draped elbow. Otherwise, this gleaming, Superb Gem shows no marks or abrasions worthy of mention. It’s a brightly lustrous coin with satin-silver surfaces framed by attractive, russet-red toning at the margins. The PCGS population is only 3 with a single (MS67+) example graded higher. Listed at $48,000…
