1838 Capped Bust Half Dollar NGC MS65

Tough Gem

From a mintage of 3.5 million pieces, there are 16 die varieties known for the 1838 Reeded Edge half dollar. This is a very short-lived type and survivors at this grade level are scarce. This particular example is extremely well struck and unlike so many others, appears undipped, with original looking steel grey patina on each side. The NGC population stands at 18 with 5 higher.

1852-O Liberty Eagle PCGS AU58

Lustrous, Semi-PL

With their energies directed mostly toward the production of double eagles, New Orleans Mint officials struck a paltry 18,000 ten-dollar gold coins in 1852. In 2006, Doug Winter, who called this issue “one of the rarest No Motto eagles,” estimated 80 to 90 coins survived in all, including two to four Uncirculated coins. Today, NGC shows two in Mint State (one in MS60 and one in MS61) on their population report, while PCGS shows one in MS60, with none higher. The PCGS population is only 4 with 3 higher (two AU58+’s and the aforementioned MS60).

1874-CC Trade Dollar PCGS MS64

A Virtually White Blazer

Nearly the entire mintage of 1.3 million 1874-CC Trade dollars was exported to East Asia, where the coins could still be found in circulation as recently as the 1940s. This is the most commonly encountered issue with chop marks, yet it is one of the most elusive dates in high Mint State grades. Near-Gems are rare and Gems are extremely rare, as few coins were saved for numismatic purposes. Considerably more lustrous and flashier when viewed in hand. Only eight have been graded higher at PCGS, half of those being MS64+ representatives.

1852 Small Head Wass, Molitor & Co. $5 NGC VF30

A “Small Head”

Wass, Molitor & Co. was one of the best-respected assaying and coining firms in San Francisco during the early years of the California Gold Rush. These gold pieces were welcome sights in circulation at a time when coinage was sorely lacking. This is an example of the rare 1852 Small Head variety modeled after the federal half eagle. Differences are most notable on the coronet (“W.M. & Co.”) and reverse legend. The NGC population report shows only two in VF with none higher.

It’s “Spiked” – Boxed Gem

Spiked Shield variety, boxed with pinch of gold. Shipwreck? – check! Gem quality coin? – check! Strong demand? – check! The sinking of the S.S. Central America off the coast of Carolina in September 1857 and its discovery in the late 1980s/early 1990s accounts for the recovery of more than 5,000 1857-S No Motto $20’s.
