1908-S Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Lowest-Mintage With Motto Saint

The limited mintage amounts to only 22,000 coins, making the 1908-S the lowest-mintage With Motto Saint-Gaudens twenty. The San Francisco Mint did not solve all the production problems striking the new design, and double eagle production was suspended during the year. The coins would not “stack,” meaning a pile of ten or twenty coins was of different height than those of Liberty Head double eagles, confusing bank employees. High-grade coins are scarce-to-rare in accordance with the low mintage.

The NGC population is 51 with (coincidentally) 51 graded higher.

Gem 1854 Type Two Gold Dollar NGC MS65

Sirhc

The 1854 Type Two gold dollar is one of the two most plentiful issues of the Small Head design. The design change in 1854 accompanied a reduction in planchet thickness that allowed the Mint to make this small coin 2 mm larger in diameter. However, the thinner planchet also caused strike problems, and the Type Two design was quickly replaced in 1856 with a lower relief Liberty portrait.

Type Two gold dollars in Gem condition are scarce and highly sought-after.

The NGC population is 23 with 14 graded higher.

1811 Tall 5 Capped Bust Half Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

The Tall 5 die marriage is scarce, and slightly rarer than the Small 5 variety, the only other known die variety of the year. These varieties are easily distinguished by the size of the digit 5 in the denomination. The half eagle coinage of 1811 consisted of 99,851 coins, according to Mint records, although the real total may have been a much smaller number. The two varieties are similar in rarity, and many of the first or Tall 5 variety were coined before other half eagles dated 1810, thus the confusion surrounding the mintage. Walter Breen suggested that over half of the mintage, or more than 50,000 coins, were actually dated 1810. Of course, there may also have been a quantity of 1811 half eagles produced in 1812 and recorded in the mintage for that year. This discussion illustrates just one of the problems facing researchers who are examining early Mint history.
