1896-S Barber Quarter NGC MS65*

Barber Quarter “Star”

 Along with the rare 1901-S and 1913-S issues, the 1896-S quarter is unquestionably one of the top three rarities in the Barber quarter series. Just 188,039 pieces were struck. As usual, die clashing is visible within Liberty’s ear, a peculiar attribute of genuine 1896-S quarters and a quick way to help verify authenticity. The vibrantly lustrous surfaces display lovely border toning in shades of electric-blue, violet, and russet-brown. Meanwhile, ivory-gold shades at the centers resonate with silver luster. In hand, this gem is lighter, as well as more lustrous and eye-appealing than seen in our images. Including this star-designated example, the NGC population is only 7 with 2 higher.

1859-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC XF45

A Rare O-mint $20 Lib

The 1859-O is a rare New Orleans double eagle with a small 9,100-coin mintage. Perhaps only approximately 100 pieces are known in all grades, primarily distributed throughout the various XF and AU levels. Only two Mint State pieces are documented, both heavily bag-marked. The 1859-O shares its rarity with most other O-Mint twenties leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War. After the San Francisco Mint became operational in 1854, gold deposits in New Orleans declined significantly, and large denomination gold coinage plummeted. Between 1854 and the 1909, when the New Orleans Mint ceased coin production for the final time, fewer than 115,000 double eagles were struck at that facility.

1846 (Medium Date) Seated Liberty Half Dollar PCGS/CAC PR62

Extremely Rare

The 1846 half dollar displays two date sizes–Medium Date and Large Date. The two varieties are easily distinguished by inspection of the 4 in the date. The Medium Date 4 is connected between the lower serif of the crossbar and the base, whereas the Large Date 4 has a noticeable separation in this area. Almost all of the proof 1846 half dollars are of the Medium Date variety. The example offered here is lighter and its surfaces, noticeably more reflective, in-hand. The proof mintage is unknown. However, the number of survivors is low – probably less than two dozen. The PCGS population is only 2 with 9 higher.

1869 Eagle NGC AU58

Very Scarce, Neary Mint State

The 1869 Liberty eagle is always in demand because of its memorably low business-strike mintage of 1,830 pieces. Contemporary collectors preferred to update their collections by purchasing proof specimens from the Mint every year, so few high-quality circulation strikes were saved for numismatic purposes. The issue is rare in AU58 condition, and finer coins are virtually unobtainable. While impossible to know from viewing our images, this coin is highly lustrous and eye-appealing. The NGC population is 7 with 3 higher.

1908 Indian Half Eagle NGC PR64

First Year Matte Proof

The innovative, incuse Indian design by Bela Lyon Pratt was introduced on the quarter eagle and half eagle in 1908. The Philadelphia Mint found it impossible to polish the dies for the new designs to produce the old brilliant finish used on proofs of earlier years, so a new sandblast finish was adopted. The coins were struck from specially prepared dies and subjected to sandblasting with a coarse grain of sand, while being held with a glove. The sandblast finish gave the coins an artistic medallic appearance, but contemporary collectors preferred the old brilliant proofs and orders for proof sets were anemic. The Mint produced 500 examples of the new gold proofs in 1908, but only 167 were distributed. The remaining coins went unsold and were melted after the close of the year. Of course, present-day numismatists appreciate the sandblast proofs for their artistic quality and elusive nature.
