1865 Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS63

Sirhc

Rare, Choice Unc.

The 1865 Liberty twenty claims a nominal mintage of 351,175 pieces. Before the era of recent shipwreck finds, this date was seldom encountered above the VF-XF grade level. Fortunately, 320 examples of the 1865 were recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Republic. Most of the recovered coins were in higher AU- Mint state grades, all the way up to MS65. The one offered here is clean, satiny and quite attractive in its appearance. Listed at $19,400 in the CDN CPG, $24,500 in the NGC price guide and $23,500 in Trends.

1879-S Liberty Double Eagles PCGS MS60

Sirhc

A Half Dozen

From a mintage of 1.2 million pieces, the 1879-S Liberty double eagle was heavily circulated at the time of issue and many examples were used to settle large accounts in foreign trade. Many coins have been repatriated from overseas holdings in recent years, but most examples seen have excessive bag-marks from rough storage and transport. Mint State coins are scarce in today’s market and high-grade examples are rare.

1857-S S.S.C.A. Liberty Double Eagles PCGS MS63 and MS65

Sirhc

A Pair of 5’s and a 3

The 1857-S Liberty double eagle was a rare issue in high grade before the recovery of the treasure from the S.S. Central America. Fortunately for present-day collectors, more than 5,000 examples were discovered in that famous shipwreck find, making the 1857-S the most available Type One double eagle in high grade, and the favorite choice of type collectors.

1860 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Sirhc

Scarce Pre-Civil War

Although the mintage for the 1860 double eagles was a healthy 577,000-plus pieces, the issue is a conditional rarity, like so many early Liberty Head twenties from all mints. A considerable number were found aboard the S.S. Republic, which sank in 1865 in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Georgia, but most of those coins were in lower Mint State grades. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth report an average certified grade of AU53, and an average auction grade just below MS60. The current PCGS population is just 14 with 15 higher. Listed at $10,900 in the CDN CPG, $11,000 in the PCGS price guide and $12,000 in Trends.

1907 Wire Edge High Relief $20 PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Still Worth Way Over Melt

Often called the most beautiful American coin design, the Saint-Gaudens double eagle exhibited intricate treatment of the drapery and equal depth of the reverse design, rendering a three-dimensional appearance rarely seen on American coins before or since. Barbara Baxter writes in her chapter on “Coins and Medals” published in Augustus Saint-Gaudens 1848-1907, A Master of American Sculpture: Saint-Gaudens coins and medals set a new standard for American numismatic art, and the precedent that he established resulted in the commissioning of other professional artists, notably his former associates Bela Lyon Pratt, James Earle Fraser, and A.A. Weinman, to redesign other denominations of the coinage. Listed at $25,400 in the CDN CPG and $25,000 in the PCGS price guide.
