Very Rare 1847 Restrike Braided Hair Half Cent NGC PR65RB

Sirhc

The 1847 Braided Hair half cent is an elusive proof-only issue. Both Originals and Restrikes are known. Originals are identified by large berries in the wreath, while Restrikes have small berries in the wreath. There are two variations of proof restrikes. First Restrikes have a doubled T in CENT, and for 1847 are extremely rare. Second Restrikes have short die marks over RICA of AMERICA. This offering is an example of the Second Restrike. In hand, it’s noticeably lighter, as well as more colorful than seen in our images. The NGC population is only 2 with 4 graded higher.

Listed at $13,700 in the CDN CPG and $17,000 in the NGC price guide.

1873 No Arrows (Closed 3) Seated Liberty Half Dollar PCGS PR66 DCAM

Sirhc

This issue saw a relatively small mintage of 600 pieces, with only six survivors designated as DCAM by PCGS for all grades combined. The example offered here is one of just two at the PR66 DCAM grade level, with none higher. It’s virtually color-free and offers deeply mirrored fields, along with intense cameo contrast and splendid eye-appeal

Tied for Highest Graded – 1880 Seated Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

The years from 1879 through 1890 saw skimpy half dollar mintages at the Philadelphia Mint (and no half dollar mintages elsewhere) as the nation’s coin factories concentrated on increasing the glut of unpopular, largely unused Morgan dollars mandated by cronyism and politics (pardon the redundancy) in the form of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. The Philadelphia Mint struck 8,400 business strikes and 1,355 proofs in 1880 . This example displays color-free surfaces and is tied with five others for the highest graded at NGC.

Popular First-Year-Of-Issue 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle PCGS MS66

Sirhc

Bela Lyon Pratt’s quarter eagle and half eagle avoided the motto controversy that swept the recently introduced Saint-Gaudens gold types. But Pratt’s novel recessed relief design had its naysayers, who thought that germs would accumulate within the devices. However, the principal numismatic difference between the Indian quarter eagle and its Liberty predecessor is that high grades for the former are more difficult to obtain. This is because the fields are the highpoints of the design, and are unprotected from abrasions.

The 1908 Indian quarter eagle was well saved at the time of issue and as a result, examples are plentiful in Gem condition today, and Premium Gems are only marginally scarce. However, of the 127 coins graded MS66 at PCGS, only ten of those pieces carry a Plus designation, and just four are certified finer.

$10 Indian Rarity – 1930-S Indian Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

 The 1930-S is one of the premier keys in the Indian eagle series. Only 96,000 pieces were struck, most of which remained in Mint vaults until the Gold Recall order of 1933, after which they were destroyed. Only a small number of pieces were ever available to collectors through traditional business, either via the Mint Cashier or distribution to federal reserve banks.
In their gold coin Encyclopedia, Garrett and Guth write, “In terms of overall rarity, this date ranks a little behind the 1920-S, with just a few hundred known in all, and those are scattered across the grading spectrum.” By population figure, this assessment of the 1930-S issue’s rarity is true, although it is not representative of the real-world availability of this issue. Any Gem example is a major rarity and finer pieces are prohibitively rare.

As compared to our images, in-hand, this Gem is lighter in hue, tends more towards-yllow gold (rather than orange-gold) and is noticeably more lustrous. The NGC population is 11 with 3 graded higher.

Listed at $112,800 in the CDN CPG and $115,000 in the NGC price guide.

None Graded Higher –  Blazing Gem -1903 Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

The 1903 Liberty double eagle claims a nominal mintage of 287,270 pieces. Like other high-denomination gold issues of the time, the 1903 was primarily used in foreign trade or as currency reserves. Beginning after World War II, a number of coins surfaced in European and Central American holdings, increasing the supply of attractive specimens in today‘s market. The repatriated coins are often found in Mint State condition, but they usually exhibit some surface marks from rough storage and transport. At the MS66 grade level, the 1903 is a very rare issue. The NGC population is just 16 with none graded higher.

Gem 1878 Three Dollar Gold Piece PCGS MS65

Sirhc

The mintage figures for circulation-strike three-dollar gold coins don’t translate perfectly into relative availability status for the respective issues. The best example is the first-year 1854 issue with the highest mintage of the series at 138,618 coins. The 1878 three-dollar issue, with a lower production of 82,304 pieces, is considerably more collectible than its higher-mintage predecessor and an ideal choice for type purposes.

Listed at $12,000 in the CDN CPG and $17,500 in the PCGS price guide.

1892 Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU58

Sirhc

This Philadelphia issue is a standout rarity within the latter part of the double eagle series, boasting the lowest mintage of any date from that point through 1907, when the Liberty Head motif was replaced with Saint-Gaudens’ design. Only 4,430 circulation strikes were manufactured, plus 93 proofs. Although the 1892 did not see much circulation and was likely subject to exportation overseas, examples are rarely seen in Uncirculated condition. The NGC population is 30 with 38 graded higher.

Listed at $19,200 in the CDN CPG and $18,500 in the NGC price guide.

None Graded Higher – 1901-S Liberty Eagle NGC MS67

Sirhc

The mintage exceeds 2.8 million pieces, making the 1901-S popular and available in just about any desired grade through the Premium Gem level. Superb Gems such as this MS67 are conditionally scarce and essentially unknown any finer. In fact, t he NGC population is 25 (one of which has been designated “Star”) with none graded higher. The one offered here boasts a bold strike and satiny surfaces.

Rare, Eye-Appealing 1891-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU58

Sirhc

All 1891-CC twenty-dollar gold pieces feature the same obverse and reverse dies. The issue ranks as the third most challenging Carson City double eagle after the 1870-CC and 1871-CC. Its mintage of 5,000 coins is only 1,211 pieces higher than the virtually unobtainable first-year issue from the Nevada branch mint. However, the 1891-CC does enjoy a substantially higher survival rate of about 6% compared to 1.5% for the 1870-CC. Regardless, this late-date issue remains scarce in all grades and is particularly rare in Mint State. The vast majority of examples offered are in XF and AU grades. The PCGS population is 33 with 27 graded higher.

Listed at $60,000 in the PCGS price guide.
