1912 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS65+

Sirhc

Just 2 Graded Higher

The 1912 Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a smallish mintage of 149,750 coins. Its certified population totals in MS62 and MS63 are relatively pedestrian — about a couple thousand each — but the issue becomes more challenging in MS64, scarce in MS65, and rare in MS66 or better. What also stands out about the 1912 is its status as the only issue for the year. There are no branch mint coins to supplement the population of Philadelphia representatives.

The NGC population is only 4 with 2 graded higher.

Positively Perennially Popular 1880-CC Morgan Dollar PCGS MS67

Sirhc

Only 3 Graded Higher

The 1880-CC was made plentiful in the 1970s with the dispersal of the GSA silver dollar holdings. More than 131,000 coins were distributed, or roughly 22% of the total mintage from a century prior. Of these, more than 114,000 coins qualified for what the GSA graders considered Uncirculated, meaning the coins were neither toned nor obtrusively scratched. About 16,000 toned and scratched coins were also distributed. Nonetheless, the availability of this issue declines significantly at the Superb Gem grade level. And it’s certainly fair to say that the example being offered here is conditionally scarce.

The PCGS population is 50 with just 3 graded higher, two of the latter being MS67+ examples.

1860-O Seated Liberty Dollar NGC MS65

Sirhc

Only 3 Graded Higher

A mintage of 515,000 silver dollars was achieved at the New Orleans Mint in 1860, most of which was earmarked for export. Some of the mintage was placed into circulation and any remaining dollars were delivered into storage. No one knows exactly how many coins were released from the Treasury during the 1962-1964 distribution, but David Bowers claims to never have seen an MS64 or MS65 example from the Treasury hoard. Most coins were low-grade Uncirculated examples — roughly handled during repeated shuffling and counting while stored, and heavily bagmarked as a result. Bruce Amspacher called the 1860-O date a “Quaker Oats dollar” because it looked like it was shot from guns. Relatively common in low Mint State grades, the 1860-O issue joins all other Seated Liberty dollars as rare in Gem condition and extremely rare any finer.

The NGC population is only 8 with 3 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.

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.
