1802/1 Draped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS64

Sirhc

Give Me a 1, No, a 2

 A mintage of 53,176 Capped Bust Right half eagles was accomplished in 1802, using leftover obverse dies from the previous year that have a 2 punched over the final digit in the date. Collectors have prized the early half eagles since the earliest days of the hobby and the 1802/1 began appearing at auction at least as early as lot 176 of the A.C. Kline Sale (M. Thomas & Sons, 6/1855), although the lot description did not mention the overdate. By the mid-1860s, catalogers began taking note of this feature, as W. Elliot Woodward described the coin in lot 2755 of his Sixth Semi-Annual Sale as, “1802 over 1801; uncirculated, as fine as proof; scarce.” The NGC population is 12 with only 1 higher.

1884-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Sirhc

Tough Unc. Twenty Lib.CGS MS62

No circulation strikes were manufactured at the Philadelphia Mint in 1884, placing even greater demand on Carson City double eagles minted that year (81,139 coins). However, survivors are generally seen in XF and AU grades, often with problems, and they are seldom offered in mint condition above MS62. The one offered here exhibits an attractive orange-gold hue.

1882 Gold Dollar PCGS PR67CAM

Sirhc

A Proof (Gold) $1 With Contrast

The 1882 and 1883 gold dollars were the last of the relatively low mintage proof issues with 125 and 207 proofs minted, respectively. Beginning in 1884 through the end of the series in 1889, proof mintages exceeded 1,000 coins each year. In addition to the 125 proofs, the Philadelphia Mint coined 5,000 circulation strikes, and many of the latter coins have proof-like surfaces, being called proofs in years gone by. This is the ONLY PR67CAM to have been graded by PCGS with none higher.

1802 Draped Bust Half Dollar PCGS/CAC AU50

Sirhc

Atypically Original Looking

The first half dollars coined at Philadelphia appeared late in 1794, with a large production the following year, continuing the original Flowing Hair design. Gilbert Stuart’s Draped Bust concept appeared on half dollars in 1796 and 1797, featuring a Small Eagle reverse, and those coins are quite rare. After a brief intermission, the Draped Bust design resumed with a Heraldic Eagle reverse in 1801, and continued through early 1807, skipping coinage dated 1804. The first two issues, 1801 and 1802, are the key dates of that short-lived design type. Mint records indicate a production of 29,890 coins. As is usually the case and you see noted in these offerings, this coin is lighter, as well as more lustrous and appealing looking than portrayed in our images.

1856-O Liberty Quarter Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Mint $2.50 Rarity

The New Orleans Mint struck only 21,100 examples of the 1856-O quarter eagle, a denomination that was unloved and neglected in favor of the half eagle and (after 1849) the double eagle throughout much of its history. San Francisco, in only its third year of operation, also struck 1856-S quarter eagles for the first time since opening, and managed to best New Orleans by a margin of more than 3 to 1. Whether these comparative mintages were an early sign of the increasing decrepitude that would overtake the Southern mint by the early 20th century, or merely an indication of the continuation of the hard-money tradition of the Old West that began a few years earlier with the Gold Rush of 1849, is not readily known today. Nonetheless, 1856-O quarter eagles are quite elusive in Mint State. This is one of only four so-graded by NGC with none higher.
