1867-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Sirhc

The 1867-S was struck too late to participate in the big shipwreck recoveries, such as the S.S. Central America and the S.S. Republic.  But the 1867-S was struck too early to be included in large-scale exports to foreign banks. Because of those factors, the issue is much rarer in Mint State than its mintage implies, even though XF to AU examples appear regularly at auction. 

The PCGS population is just 7 with 3 graded higher.

Listed at $30,000 in the CDN CPG and $35,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $27,000

The NGC population is only 7 with none graded higher.

1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel NGC MS65

Sirhc

Buffalo nickel coinage at Denver in 1937 totaled more than 17.8 million coins. Although this mintage paled in comparison to the 79 million coins struck at Philadelphia, Denver produced its coinage with die pairs that were often stretched past their normal life span. One such die was became so heavily eroded that it was aggressively lapped to remove metal flowlines. The lapping mostly effaced the bison’s forward right leg, creating what is now known as the 1937-D Three-Legged nickel. The variety is one of the key acquisitions for collectors of the Guide Book series, surpassed in scarcity only by the 1916 doubled die and 1918/7-S overdate.

The NGC population is 57 with 29 graded higher.

Listed at $25,900 in the CDN CPG and $24,500 in the NGC price guide.

1888 Seated Liberty Quarter NGC MS68

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

Only 10,000 business strike 1888 quarters were coined, and examples are seldom seen, though they are usually frosty and lustrous when they are encountered. Most pieces are found in or near Mint State grades, although almost never like the present specimen. This is a Superb Gem with ivory color at the center of the obverse, surrounded by russet, sea-green, and gold toning. The reverse is similar, with mostly rose color at the centers, framed by teal and gold. The pattern of toning is reminiscent of pieces from old time collections.

The NGC population is only 5 with none graded higher.

Listed at $17,750 in the NGC price guide.
