The Sole Highest Graded

Sirhc

1925-S Mercury Dime NGC MS67+ FB

The 1925-S is considered the most poorly made date in the Mercury dime series. David Lange writes in his Mercury Dimes  reference that both obverse and reverse are plagued by heavy die polishing and erosion and a generally weak strike throughout, especially the reverse periphery. Red and gold toning fills the borders, with the fields and devices remaining mostly brilliant. The strike is fully defined, both at the centers and across the peripheries. No notable distractions are apparent on this superb example.

This is the only MS67+ to have been graded by NGC with none higher.

Listed in MS67 (not 67+) FB at $27,600 in the CDN CPG and $26,500 in the NGC price guide.

Offered at $14,690

The Famous Athens Tetradrachm Nearly Full Crest

Sirhc
Attica/Athens Tetradrachm
c. 440-404 BC
NGC AU
Strike 4/5 Surface 3/5

The Trade Coin of Antiquity

In 454 BC, after military defeats in Egypt against the Persians, the Athenians moved their treasury to Athens from Delos, as it was considered safer terrain.  This setback followed spectacular victories by the Athenians at Marathon (490 BC), and Thermopylae (480 BC).  After moving the treasury, the era of standard tetradrachms commenced around 440 BC, and continued until about 404 BC.

As the production of tetradrachms increased over time and provided funding for various war efforts, the dies naturally became worn, making well struck and full crested specimens somewhat scarce.  We are pleased to offer an example of this classic, standard coinage, ranked at #10 in the 100 Greatest Ancient Coins reference.  Today’s example features a finely developed and tall crest, and abundant silvery bloom.
 This artistically pleasing “owl” is available here for:  $3,480

1902 Indian Cent PCGS PR68RD

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

Not surprisingly, as to be expected from the assigned grade, this piece is spectacular. Its obverse color is a chrome-green tint, with a tinge of yellow, while the reverse is a light reddish-tan, also with a slight yellow-green hue. Radiant luster – yes, Proof coins can be said to exhibit luster, as business strikes do – emanates from each side. As for its part, the strike is needle-sharp. PCGS has certified only four pieces as PR68 Red, along with one specimen as PR68 Red Cameo for the entire population of proof Indian cents.

The PCGS population is 3 with none graded higher.

Listed at $30,000 in the CDN CPG and $41,500 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $28,250

1836 Block 8 Classic Quarter Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

Just 1 Graded Higher

A mintage of 547,986 Classic Head quarter eagles was accomplished in 1836, with eight die varieties known for the date. The varieties are divided into two main subtypes, five with a Script 8 in the date and three with a Block 8. This coin represents the Second Head of 1837 Variety 15, with a Block 8 date style and a detached berry in the olive branch on the reverse. In general, the Block 8 varieties are much more elusive than their Script 8 counterparts.

The one we offer here exhibits frosted, sun-gold surfaces, radiant luster and a very bold strike. Add to that, this coin’s splendid eye-appeal and you have a virtually irreplaceable treasure.

The PCGS population is only 3 with 1graded higher.

Listed at $57,500 in the PCGS price guide.

1913-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

Only 1 Graded Higher (by a +)

The 1913-D twenty dollar is another well-produced issue from early in the series, one that generally shows excellent luster over sharply struck surfaces. Denver Mint coins of this era generally have those criteria in common; however, Denver and the other branch mints skipped striking double eagles in 1912, so that the 1911-D and 1910-D issues are the D-mint products immediately preceding the 1913-D. Only 393,500 examples of the 1913-D were reportedly struck, yet today examples below the Gem grade are fairly obtainable. Many of the earlier Saint-Gaudens issues such as the 1913-D avoided the mass meltings that many later dates saw by being exported to Europe or Latin America, only to be repatriated over the ensuing decades.

The one offered here exhibits attractive orange-gold color.

The NGC population is 12 with 1 (MS66+) example graded higher.

Listed at $50,400 in the CDN CPG and $42,500 in the NGC price guide.
