1893-CC Liberty Eagle NGC AU58

Sirhc

Scarce

The Carson City Mint struck a small production of 14,000 Liberty eagles in 1893, the last year of coinage operations at the famous Western facility. The coins were released into circulation and few high-quality examples were saved for numismatic purposes. As might be expected, the 1893-CC is an elusive issue in all grades today, with most examples seen in the VF-XF grade range. AU58 examples are scarce and Mint State specimens are very rare.

The NGC population is 59 with 21 graded higher.

1888 Seated Liberty Quarter NGC MS68

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

Only 10,000 business strike 1888 quarters were coined, and examples are seldom seen, though they are usually frosty and lustrous when they are encountered. Most pieces are found in or near Mint State grades, although almost never like the present specimen. This is a Superb Gem with ivory color at the center of the obverse, surrounded by russet, sea-green, and gold toning. The reverse is similar, with mostly rose color at the centers, framed by teal and gold. The pattern of toning is reminiscent of pieces from old time collections.

The NGC population is only 5 with none graded higher.

1870 Liberty Eagle NGC AU58

Sirhc

A run of low-mintage run of Philadelphia eagles kicks off with the 1870 issue, followed by the rare 1871, 1872, and 1873 dates. In the case of the 1870 ten dollar the mintage of only 3,900 is actually a good indication of this issue’s rarity. It is rarely seen in AU condition and only one coin is known in mint condition (an NGC MS60).

The NGC population is only 12 with 1 graded higher – an MS60 example.

Listed at $16,800 in the CDN CPG and $16,250 in the NGC price guide.

The Sole Highest Graded – 1881 Liberty Quarter Eagle NGC PR67 Ultra Cameo

Sirhc

Prior to 1881, gold proofs are almost entirely sold only in complete denomination sets. Gold proof sets sales continued in 1881, with 40 distributed by the end of the first quarter, but individual proof quarter eagles were struck and sold throughout the year as well, bringing the mintage for this issue to 51 pieces. These coins are among the most contrasted proofs in the Liberty quarter eagle series, and the palindrome date makes them popular type coins. Type collector demand is further heightened by the fact that many later proof quarter eagles (such as those struck from 1902 through 1907), lack the same degree of cameo contrast seen on late 19th century proofs. In United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold,  John Dannreuther estimates that only 18 to 22 proof 1881 quarter eagles survive. This is far less coins than the PCGS estimate of 30 to 35 pieces, but it might be more accurate. A significant number of the non-Cameo proofs reported by the grading services have likely been reconsidered in more recent years and redesignated Cameo or Deep Cameo. This is the only PR67 Ultra Cameo graded by NGC with none higher.

1859-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC XF45

Sirhc

A Rare O-mint $20 Lib

The 1859-O is a rare New Orleans double eagle with a small 9,100-coin mintage. Perhaps only approximately 100 pieces are known in all grades, primarily distributed throughout the various XF and AU levels. Only two Mint State pieces are documented, both heavily bag-marked. The 1859-O shares its rarity with most other O-Mint twenties leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War. After the San Francisco Mint became operational in 1854, gold deposits in New Orleans declined significantly, and large denomination gold coinage plummeted. Between 1854 and the 1909, when the New Orleans Mint ceased coin production for the final time, fewer than 115,000 double eagles were struck at that facility.
