1853-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU53

dyann

The 1853-O Liberty double eagle claims a small mintage of 71,000 pieces, a much smaller production than any previous year at the famous Southern facility. Undoubtedly, some of the output from the California gold fields was held back, in anticipation of the opening of the San Francisco Mint the following year, rather than risking the hazardous maritime shipping necessary to have the bullion coined at New Orleans in 1853. The coins were all released into circulation at the time of issue, making the 1853-O an elusive issue in high grade.

1910-S Indian Eagle NGC MS64

dyann

The 1910-S Indian eagle’s high mintage of 811,000 coins is deceiving. Availability was drastically reduced in the mid-1930s during the massive gold melts. Mint State survivors are seldom available, typically grading only in the MS62 and lower range. The date is scarce in MS63, and rare at grades beyond that. That’s easily illustrated by the NGC population of 23 with 6 graded higher. The one offered here is clean and attractive.

Rare 1834 Crosslet 4 Classic Half Eagle NGC AU58

dyann

A change in the weight specifications for U.S. gold coins in 1834 prompted a design change to distinguish the new, lower-weight half eagles from previous old-tenor pieces. Earlier half eagles had a greater intrinsic value than their face value, which led to widespread hoarding and melting. Many of the heavier-weight coins were melted and struck as 1834 Classic Head fives, which feature a new portrait of Liberty without a cap. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is absent from the reverse. Two date logotypes exist. Most of the 1834 Classic Head half eagles have a Plain 4 in the date, while a single, scarce variety (as offered here) displays a Crosslet 4 date.

The NGC population is 16 with 9 graded higher.

1885 Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU55

dyann

From a tiny mintage of just 751 pieces, the 1885 Liberty double eagle is a rare issue in all grades today. The small mintage was a consequence of contemporary Mint policy, which sought to reduce production of double eagles and increase the circulation of the five and ten-dollar denominations. The Philadelphia Mint followed this policy for much of the 1880s, and small double eagle mintages were the rule, rather than the exception, during this time period. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth discuss the 1885 double eagle in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins:
“The mintage for the 1885 double eagle is among the lowest of all U.S. issues. Very few gold coins have a mintage below 1,000. It goes without saying that the date is extremely popular. The availability of Proof examples is the only thing keeping this issue from being extremely expensive. The Smithsonian lacks a circulation-strike example for this reason. It is estimated that there are fewer than 100 known in all grades.”
The NGC population is 6 with 31 graded higher.

The single Highest Graded 1841 Seated Liberty Quarter PCGS MS66

dyann

The 1841 Seated quarters are rarely encountered in high grades, with this example being one of the two finest. Strong doubling is evident on the reverse legend of this variety. Although slight peripheral softness is seen on the obverse stars, all other details show excellent definition. The frosty silver surfaces are faintly toned with hints of gold. This is the only example to grade MS66 at PCGS, with none higher.
Listed at $40,000 in the PCGS price guide.
