1857-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU55

Sirhc

Flashy, Highly Lustrous

This coin looks much better in person than seen in our images – it’s considerably flashier, more lustrous and appealing in-hand! Double eagle production at the New Orleans Mint rebounded out of the small four-figure range in 1857, reaching 30,000 pieces. However, this issue circulated extensively and its modern-day availability is limited. Circulated pieces are occasionally seen, but the finer AU-level coins are in high demand since only a few Mint State pieces exist. Listed at $24,200, $24,200 and $26,500 in the CDN CPG, the NGC price guide and Trends, respectively.

1929 Indian Half Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Rare Unc. Key Date

No half eagles were struck between 1916 and 1929, but the Philadelphia Mint produced a total of 662,000 coins in the later year. Unfortunately, the effects of the Great Depression were beginning to be felt and there was little need for the coins in the shrinking economy. Most of the mintage was held in government storage and later destroyed after 1933. No half eagles were struck in later years and the 1929 is a key date in the series today. Although our reverse image makes that side of the coin appear to be dark, you’re seeing the effect of the angle and lighting – the true color is actually quite similar to that of the obverse. Listed at $46,500 in the NGC price guide.

1810 Capped Bust Half Eagle PCGS MS63

Sirhc

Satiny, Choice Unc.

This is the Large Date, Large 5 combination, which, along with the Small Date, Tall 5, is the most frequently seen of the four Guide Book varieties known for the year. It is also part of a short-lived, but very tough series. This particular example is pleasing, overall, and would make a fine addition to a gold type set. Listed at $26,000, $23,500 and $30,000 in the CDN CPG, the PCGS price guide and Trends, respectively.

1879-S Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Rare Unc. S-Mint $20 Lib

For all practical purposes, MS62 is the optimal collectible grade for this San Francisco date. While all Mint State coins are scarce, the value increases dramatically above the MS62 level. By way of example, to our knowledge, the last MS63 – a PCGS example – to have been auctioned brought $29,375 more than three years ago. None have been graded higher by NGC. Listed at $15,600 in the CDN CPG, $14,600 in the NGC price guide and $16,500 in Trends.

1854 Small Date $20 NGC AU-58 Mint Error Obverse Strike Through

Sirhc

Twenty Dollar gold pieces have long been popular with collectors with Type 1 pieces such as the one being presented today the most sought after. On top of this coin being in impressive AU-58 condition, it is a mint error. Of all metal types, gold coins are the hardest to locate with errors. The one day has a strike through meaning the coin was minted with a foreign substance interfering with the minting process.

1877-S Liberty Double Eagles PCGS MS61

Sirhc

A handful, we have five coins available…

The San Francisco Mint struck large numbers of double eagles throughout the second half of the 19th century and 1877 was certainly no exception. A mintage of more than 1.7 million Liberty double eagles was accomplished that year. The coins were used to settle large accounts in both foreign and domestic trade, and few high-quality examples were saved for numismatic purposes. Accordingly, most examples seen today are heavily bag-marked specimens recovered from European holdings or worn circulated pieces that fulfilled their intended function in the hard money economy of the Western United States. Listed at $1,940 in the CDN CPG and $1,805 in the PCGS price guide.

1879-S Liberty Double Eagles NGC/PCGS MS61

Sirhc

Ten Tough $20 Lib. S-mints

The San Francisco Mint continued to be the chief producer of double eagles in 1879, striking more than 1.2 million coins (about 1 million pieces more than all three other mints combined). However, Uncirculated examples are seldom offered finer than MS61 and are decidedly rare finer than MS62. If you’re looking for one of those MS62’s you should know that it’s likely to cost more than three times the amount of these MS61’s. Listed at $3,750 in both the CDN CPG and the NGC price guide and $4,250 in the PCGS price guide.

We have ten coins available…

1924-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

This one is a toughie.

Despite its substantial mintage of more than three million pieces, the 1924-D double eagle has always been an elusive issue. Most of the coins were held in Mint vaults or Federal Reserve Banks until the Gold Recall of 1933, and subsequently melted into gold bars for storage at Fort Knox. Comparatively few reached circulation in this country and the issue was believed to be quite rare in the 1940s. Fortunately, some of the exported coins were returned to the U.S., beginning about 1950, and the supply has been considerably augmented since then. The 1924-D is still scarce in MS64 condition, and very rare in higher grades. Only twelve have been graded 65 or higher by PCGS. Listed at $11,600 in the CDN CPG, $11,000 in the PCGS price guide and $12,500 in Trends.

1860-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS61

Sirhc

Rare Mint State

 The 1860-S Type One Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 544,950 pieces, a substantial production total in absolute terms, but slightly smaller than average for a San Francisco issue from this period. The coins were released into the channels of commerce, where they circulated heavily for many years, suffering the usual wear and attrition along the way. Few high-quality examples were saved by contemporary numismatists and the issue is rare in Mint State grades today. The current PCGS population is 16 with 12 higher. This particular example is a bit lighter and brighter than seen on our images. Listed at $16,300 in the CDN CPG and $12,000 in the PCGS price guide.
