A Rare 55 (O) in 55 – 1855-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU55

Sirhc

This issue is one of the rarest New Orleans twenties. After the first four emissions of double eagles from the New Orleans Mint (in 1850, 1851, 1852, and 1853), there were considerably fewer coins made in 1854, producing a major rarity in the Liberty double eagle series. Only 70 to 80 pieces are believed to be extant today in all grades, with most falling in the Very Fine to Extremely Fine level of preservation (Douglas Winter,  Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, 1839–1909). Just a handful of Uncirculated survivors have been certified. The NGC population is 12 with 10 graded higher. In hand, this particular example is lighter in color, as well as considerably more lustrous and eye-appealing than seen in our images.

Listed at $74,400 in the CDN CPG and $72,500 in the NGC price guide.

1859 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU55

Sirhc

A Head Turner (or Turned)

In the early 1850s, substantial California Gold Rush bullion was shipped via Panama to the Philadelphia Mint for coining. The advent of the San Francisco Mint, and its emergence from growing pains, slowed the flood of West Coast bullion to a trickle by 1859. That year, Philadelphia struck only 43,597 double eagles, down from more than 2,000,000 pieces in 1851 and 1852. The few collectors of large denomination gold selected proofs, and the 1859 is nearly unobtainable in Mint State. Patience is required to locate any example, and when one appears in the marketplace, it is almost always in XF to AU grades. This particular example is noticeably more lustrous and attractive in hand.

1840-D Liberty Quarter Eagle NGC AU55

Sirhc

This “D” Gets a Passing Grade

The Liberty Head quarter eagle series commenced in 1840 with a production of 3,532 D-mint coins. The 1840-D is tied with the 1854-D for third-rarest among all Dahlonega quarter eagles, and is the rarest in AU50 and finer. This coin was struck from shattered dies, showing bisecting cracks on each side. As is so often the case, this coin is much more lustrous than seen in our images. The NGC population is 8 with 8 higher.

1839-C Classic Quarter Eagle NGC AU55

Sirhc

Sharp AU Charlotte $2.50

 While the 1839-C is one of the more frequently encountered Charlotte quarter eagles, it is disproportionately popular because it is a part of the Classic series. Only 18,140 pieces were produced, and of that number it is estimated perhaps 300 to 400 examples are known today in all grades.

1892 Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU55

Sirhc

Rare, Lustrous, Semi-Prooflike

The 1892 double eagle is the last of the ultra-low-mintage dates in the Liberty Head series, struck to the extent of just 4,430 coins. Examples in any grade carry a premium over the common date, but this issue is especially rare in Mint State. A limited supply of About Uncirculated coins supplies the needs of most collectors. Sadly, you wouldn’t know it from our images, but this example is lustrous, flashy and semi-prooflike in appearance.
