None Graded Higher – 1890 Morgan NGC MS66 Dollar

dyann

The Sherman Silver Purchase Act, passed in July 1890, replaced the Bland-Allison Act as the authorizing legislation for the Morgan silver dollar. The law provided for the purchase of some 54 million troy ounces of silver annually from Western mining interests. As could be expected with such a supply of bullion, silver dollar production in 1890 was substantial throughout the year, with more than 16 million coins ultimately produced. These were paid out gradually over many years, with the final distribution being in the Treasury releases of the early 1960s. Careless preservation, then, ended up being a major factor in the rarity of high-grade examples, as the date is readily available in grades through MS65. But that’s where the availability stops.

The NGC population is only 10 with none graded higher.

1922 Grant No Star Gold Dollar PCGS MS68

dyann

The Grant gold dollars and silver half dollars were issued on behalf of the Ulysses S. Grant Centenary Memorial Association, and that entity selected Laura Gardin Fraser to prepare the designs. A notice appeared in the January 24, 1922 issue of The Cincinnati Enquirer:
There will be minted 10,000 $1 gold pieces and 250,000 silver half dollars, the first to sell for $2.50 each and the second for $1 each. This fund will assure the tri-fold purposes of the association which is interested in the construction of a memorial highway from this city to the east along the Ohio River. After the minting the dies will be destroyed, thus giving the coins a high numismatic value.”

This is one of only two examples to have received this grade from PCGS with none graded higher. Listed at $40,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1853-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU53

dyann

The 1853-O Liberty double eagle claims a small mintage of 71,000 pieces, a much smaller production than any previous year at the famous Southern facility. Undoubtedly, some of the output from the California gold fields was held back, in anticipation of the opening of the San Francisco Mint the following year, rather than risking the hazardous maritime shipping necessary to have the bullion coined at New Orleans in 1853. The coins were all released into circulation at the time of issue, making the 1853-O an elusive issue in high grade.

The NGC population is 57 with 92 graded higher.

Listed at $14,400 in the CDN CPG and $12,750 in the NGC price guide.

Only 1 Graded Higher – 1855 Arrows Half Dime PCGS MS67+

dyann

The Arrows at Date type of the Seated Liberty half dime was only produced for three years, from 1853 through 1855, at the New Orleans and Philadelphia mints. The Philadelphia issues are by far more plentiful than the O-mint coins, making them ideal for type representation. Yet, among the three P-mint dates, the 1855 is noticeably scarcer than the earlier two. The one offered here boasts highly lustrous, color free surfaces and loads of eye appeal.
The PCGS population is (this) 1 with 1 graded higher. Listed at $20,000 in the PCGS price guide.

dyann

WE TRUST is die doubled, as always on proofs of this date. Full Red examples of the 1871 proof two cent pieces are scarce but occasionally seen in grades from PR64 to PR66.

PCGS lists only two coins in PR67 Red, and NGC has seen just two additional pieces in the same grade.

Very Scarce 1859-S Liberty Eagle NGC AU50

dyann

Since the First San Francisco Mint concentrated on double eagle production, the 1859-S ten-dollar mintage was only 7,000 pieces. None were given numismatic consideration, and PCGS estimates only “40 to 60 known,” comparable with the 1870-CC. The median grade is XF, and only a single example (an MS60 NGC coin) has been certified as Mint State.
The NGC population is just 6 with 13 graded higher.
Listed at $19,200 in the CDN CPG and $19,000 in the NGC price guide.

The 1843, 1845, and 1847 No Motto half eagles are more available than the 1844, the latter significantly so. However, this Philadelphia issue remains one of the more collectible entries from the early part of the series. It claims a mintage of 340,330 coins, possibly 30 to 40 of which survive in Mint State. The one offered here features pleasing orange-gold color.

The NGC population is only 2 with none graded higher.

However, this MS68 color-free blazer of a coin is a condition rarity. It represents the finest grade achieved at either certification service and is one of only 13 coins this fine at NGC and PCGS combined. The NGC population is 9 with none graded higher.

Tied for Highest Graded – 1873 DDO Closed 3 Indian Cent NGC MS64BN CAC

dyann

This, the FS-101, is the more desirable of the two major 1873 cent doubled die varieties. It is readily identifiable by bold obverse doubling on the letters in LIBERTY, Liberty’s eye and profile, and the feather stems. This variety was first reported in 1957, and, while examples have been discovered since, less than 20 examples (per Rick Snow) are known in Mint State. The NGC population is just 7 with none graded higher.

Unlisted in the NGC price guide, but listed at $16,100 in the PCGS price guide.
