1902 Indian Cent PCGS PR68RD

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

Not surprisingly, as to be expected from the assigned grade, this piece is spectacular. Its obverse color is a chrome-green tint, with a tinge of yellow, while the reverse is a light reddish-tan, also with a slight yellow-green hue. Radiant luster – yes, Proof coins can be said to exhibit luster, as business strikes do – emanates from each side. As for its part, the strike is needle-sharp. PCGS has certified only four pieces as PR68 Red, along with one specimen as PR68 Red Cameo for the entire population of proof Indian cents.

The PCGS population is 3 with none graded higher.

1913-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

Only 1 Graded Higher (by a +)

The 1913-D twenty dollar is another well-produced issue from early in the series, one that generally shows excellent luster over sharply struck surfaces. Denver Mint coins of this era generally have those criteria in common; however, Denver and the other branch mints skipped striking double eagles in 1912, so that the 1911-D and 1910-D issues are the D-mint products immediately preceding the 1913-D. Only 393,500 examples of the 1913-D were reportedly struck, yet today examples below the Gem grade are fairly obtainable. Many of the earlier Saint-Gaudens issues such as the 1913-D avoided the mass meltings that many later dates saw by being exported to Europe or Latin America, only to be repatriated over the ensuing decades.

The one offered here exhibits attractive orange-gold color.

The NGC population is 12 with 1 (MS66+) example graded higher.

1908-D Indian Half Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

The 1908-D has a relatively low mintage of 148,000 pieces. Nonetheless, enough examples have returned from overseas bank vaults to allow collectors of the series to select a Mint State representative. The issue becomes scarce in Choice condition, and Gems are very rare.

The NGC population is only 7 with none graded higher.

1903 Louisiana Purchase McKinley Gold Dollar NGC MS68

Sirhc

The 1903 Louisiana Purchase McKinley and Jefferson gold dollars were the first of the new denomination, and they were struck in quantities far larger than the numismatic market would absorb. Each of the two kinds was struck in the amount of 125,000 coins, but all save an estimated 17,500 of each type were melted. Most survivors, even certified ones, average out into the lower Mint State grades, with planchet problems and, especially, excessive surface contact marks being the limiting criteria.

The NGC population is 12 with none graded higher.

Stunning 1902 Morgan Dollar NGC PR67+

Sirhc

Proof 1902 silver dollars, as with all proof coins struck in that year, were produced with a no-contrast finish, as the Mint altered its die-making process for proof issues. As a result, proof 1902 dollars are extremely rare with any degree of cameo contrast. Collectors instead usually strive to acquire the finest possible non-Cameo for their collections. This particular example exhibits lovely original toning and a stunning overall appearance.

The NGC population is 2 with 6 graded higher.
