1908 No Motto Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS68

Sirhc

A $20 in “8”

Ex: Wells Fargo Nevada Gold. A gorgeous example of this popular two-year design type from the famous Wells Fargo Hoard. The Wells Fargo Hoard was a group of 19,900 1908 double eagles that were probably originally sent to South America in foreign trade sometime during the World War I era. They were later repatriated to this country and held in an undisclosed location until Ron Gillio purchased the hoard and stored it in a Wells Fargo Bank in Nevada. Gillio marketed the coins, which were of uniformly high quality, in the 1990s. Only 10 have been graded higher by PCGS.

1907 Flat Edge High Relief PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Pick at Reduced Price

The 1907 High Reliefs with Roman Numerals in the date, is acknowledged as the most beautiful design ever employed on a circulation-strike U.S. coin. They were the result of a lengthy collaboration between famous sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who was encouraged to develop the design by President Theodore Roosevelt, and Chief Engraver Charles Barber of the Philadelphia Mint.  Each coin required three blows from the 150-ton medal press to completely bring up the design, and the planchets had to be annealed between each blow. The average time needed to strike each individual coin was 12 minutes, clearly too slow to strike any large number of coins. As a result, only 12,367 pieces were reportedly produced.

1903-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded 

The 1903-S is a plentiful and largely unheralded issue, that only begins to command a real numismatic premium at the near-Gem grade level. This is one of only 18 to have received this grade from PCGS with none higher. The example offered here exhibits a very bold strike, satiny surfaces and pleasing orange-gold color.

1879-CC Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS60

Sirhc

This 79-CC Rarity is no Dollar!

The 1879-CC Liberty double eagle is an elusive issue, from a small mintage of 10,708 pieces (the second-lowest double eagle mintage of the 1870s from the mint in Carson City). Traditionally, the 1879-CC was thought to be even more elusive than it is today, but a small hoard of examples surfaced in the 1990’s, to augment the meager supply. Most of the hoard coins were in the XF-AU grade range, so the issue remains very rare in Mint State condition. The NGC population is only 5 with 6 higher.

1857-S S.S. Central America $20 Liberty PCGS MS65

Sirhc

“Head Turner”/“Turned Head”

The discovery of the thousands of Type One twenties in mint condition from the salvage of the S.S. Central America in the late 1980s proved to be a boon for collectors since this first design type was rarely encountered in Uncirculated grades before these pieces entered the market. One characteristic common to all of these salvaged twenties is the extraordinary mint luster. Because the coins lay undisturbed more than two miles below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean they were unaffected by the abrasive effects of salt water that normally subdues the luster on gold coins found on ship wrecks found in more shallow waters.
