Tied for Highest Graded – 1868-S Liberty Eagle NGC AU58

Sirhc

This Western ten-dollar issue is unknown in Uncirculated condition, placing added demand on the few examples that have met the requirements for an AU58 assessment. Dave Bowers writes that “Most are VF or EF” but that enough survive in AU to satisfy advanced collectors with “generous budgets.” That may be true in lower AU grades, but hardly at this level. Even the most well-financed specialists will require patience in seeking a near-mint state representative. The NGC population is just 7 with none graded higher. Coincidentally, the PCGS population is also 7 with none higher.

Listed at $20,400 in the CDN CPG and $20,000 in the NGC price guide.

Offered at $15,100

Very Rare 1861 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

The 1861 Liberty double eagle is one of the most popular type coins among No Motto issues. 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. Nonetheless, near-Gem pieces such as this one, are conditionally scarce, and finer examples are rare. It exhibits vibrant luster, attractive color and a radiant cartwheel effect. The PCGS population is 13 with 8 graded higher.  

Listed at $44,000 in the CDN CPG and $50,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Just 3 Graded Higher – 1929-D Standing Liberty Quarter PCGS MS66FH

Sirhc

From a relatively small mintage of just over 1.3 million pieces, the 1929-D Standing Liberty quarter has earned a reputation for being elusive with Full Head definition, and Gem or better pieces in this classification are scarce. This is one of 20 to have received this grade from PCGS with only 3 graded higher – each of the latter being MS66+.

Listed at $12,000 in the CDN CPG and $16,000 in the PCGS price guide.

India raises silver import duty to align with gold

Sirhc

Source: Yahoo Finance Wed, 1 February 2023 at 2:22 am GMT-6·1-min read

MUMBAI (Reuters) – India raised total taxes on silver imports 15% and on silver dore to 14.35%, the government said in a statement on Wednesday, in an effort to align the duty structure of the metal with gold.

The south Asian country is the world’s biggest importer of silver.

“I also propose to increase the import duty on silver dore, bars and articles to align them with that on gold and platinum,” Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said as she presented the 2023/24 budget in parliament.

India raised its import duty on gold in July 2022.

The basic customs duty on silver was raised to 10% from 7.5% and Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) on the imports to 5% from 2.5%.

Silver dore will carry a 10% basic import duty and 4.35% AIDC.

Local silver prices jumped by up to 2% after the duty changes.

The import duty on articles made of precious metals was increased to 25% from 22%.

Highly Attractive 1907 No Motto Indian Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

The Philadelphia Mint struck off 239,400 Saint-Gaudens Indian Head eagles after the No Periods design had been finalized.

Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD jumps above $1,920 after US data

Sirhc

Source: FXSTREET NEWS | 1/31/2023 3:05:16 PM GMT | By Matías Salord

  • US Dollar weakens following Q4 US Employment Cost Index.
  • Data points to more evidence of a slow down in inflation.
  • XAU/USD erases daily losses with a rebound of more than $10.

Gold prices bounced sharply higher following the release of US labor costs data for the fourth quarter. More evidence of a slowdown in inflation pushed US yields to the downside and Wall Street to the upside, weakening the greenback.

The Employment Cost Index (ECI) rose 1% in the fourth quarter, below the 1.1% of market consensus and marked the third consecutive slowdown. Still the index is up by 4% compared to a year ago. The evidence of an improvement in the inflation outlook boosted US yields ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC decision.

Still the numbers are high, suggesting that inflation is still not consistent with Fed’s target. “Even as supply chain pressures ease, commodity prices cool and housing costs temper, we think the FOMC still wants to see a bit more slowing in wage growth before the Committee feels confident inflation is firmly headed to 2% over the medium term”, said analysts at Wells Fargo.

The greenback tumbled after the report and also did Treasuries, boosting gold. Also equity and crude oil price rose. XAU/USD erased all losses and it is hovering around daily highs at $1,927.

1891-CC Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS61

Sirhc

With just 5,000 pieces struck, the 1891-CC is a rarity among Carson City twenties and the long-running Liberty Head double eagles alike. Despite small groups of the issue surfacing from time to time among overseas holdings, Mint State examples are rare even within the low Uncirculated levels. The finest 1891-CC seen by PCGS or NGC tops out at MS6 3, with each of those grading companies having recognized a single survivor at that grade. In hand, this example is noticeably more lustrous than seen in our images. The NGC population is 16 with 10 graded higher.

Listed at $86,400 in the CDN CPG and $77,500 in the NGC price guide.

1818/5 Capped Bust Quarter NGC MS65

Sirhc

Although 10 die varieties are known for the 1818 quarters from among five obverse and seven reverse dies, only the B-1 obverse features the 1818/5 overdate, with the 81, wide in the date and faint remnants of the 5 inside the upper loop. It is paired with a reverse showing large rim dentils, the scroll ending between AM, and a long, upward-curving flag on the 5 in the denomination. The overdate is a Guide Book -listed variety, increasing its popularity among that collecting subset, and it is an overdate that is widely available in high grades, up to the near-Gem level or so. The NGC population is just 8 with 3 graded higher.

Gem 1870 Seated Liberty Dollar NGC PR65 Cameo

Sirhc

A fairly generous mintage of 1,000 Seated Liberty dollars was accomplished at the Philadelphia Mint in 1870, but the issue is much more difficult to locate than the large production total would suggest. It is likely that many coins remained unsold and were melted after the end of the year. Today, the issue is quite elusive at the Gem level, and finer coins are very rare. The NGC population is 9 with 7 graded higher. Listed at $15,500 in the NGC price guide.

Flashy, Retail-Friendly 1919-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS64

Sirhc

While not quite as rare in high grades as its Denver Mint counterpart, the 1919-S remains a popular and challenging issue in Uncirculated condition. That is especially true at the MS64 grade level, where the issue becomes genuinely scarce. This particular example is bright and color-free, with strong eye-appeal. The NGC population is 48 with 32 graded higher. Listed at $13,800 in the CDN CPG and $13,000 in the NGC price guide.
