The 1872 two cent piece is a classic case of the reason why proofs are so sought after. Only 65,000 pieces were struck for circulation, making that issue all-but-unobtainable for most collectors, especially in high grades. This availability vacuum has traditionally been filled by proofs, of which 950 pieces were produced. The one offered here offers vibrant color and even some cameo contrast.

The 1926-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a more than adequate mintage of 481,000 pieces, but the issue is much more elusive than the production total suggests. In fact, the 1926-D was considered one of the rarest issues of the series when collecting double eagles first became popular, in the 1940s. Most of the mintage was held in Mint or Treasury vaults to serve as currency reserves until the Gold Recall of 1933 took effect. The coins in government storage were all melted and stored as gold bars at the Fort Knox Bullion Depository afterward. Fortunately, some of the coins were used to settle accounts in foreign trade before the Recall. A number of specimens were repatriated from foreign holdings after World War II, increasing the small supply for collectors. The 1926-D remains a scarce issue, however, especially in high grade. Roger W. Burdette estimates the surviving population at about 600 examples in all grades.

The economic uncertainties of World War I caused the U.S. Mint to drastically curtail the production of gold coins during that conflict. As a result, the 1915 Indian eagle was the last ten-dollar gold piece struck at the Philadelphia Mint until 1926. The mintage for the 1915 issue was 351,075, and the coins were generally well-produced. This Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements in most areas, with just a touch of the usual softness on the eagle’s shoulder. The extremely well preserved golden-orange surfaces exhibit vibrant mint luster on both sides of this eye-appealing example.

The 1913 half eagle is usually glossed over in references and discussions on Indian Head gold. With a mintage of more than 915,000 coins, the date is plentiful in most grades and is only considered scarce in Gem condition. But perhaps that is a mistake. The date may be plentiful, but it is often fully struck and lustrous — the perfect type coin. It is also underappreciated in the top grade — not MS65, but MS66.
The PCGS population is only 5 with 2 graded higher.
