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.

Offered at $44,400

India raises silver import duty to align with gold

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%.
