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.

1910-S Indian Eagle NGC MS64

dyann

The 1910-S Indian eagle’s high mintage of 811,000 coins is deceiving. Availability was drastically reduced in the mid-1930s during the massive gold melts. Mint State survivors are seldom available, typically grading only in the MS62 and lower range. The date is scarce in MS63, and rare at grades beyond that. That’s easily illustrated by the NGC population of 23 with 6 graded higher. The one offered here is clean and attractive.

dyann

The 1843, 1845, and 1847 No Motto half eagles are more available than the 1844, the latter significantly so. However, this Philadelphia issue remains one of the more collectible entries from the early part of the series. It claims a mintage of 340,330 coins, possibly 30 to 40 of which survive in Mint State. The one offered here features pleasing orange-gold color.

Rare 1925-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS64

dyann

Although a large number of 1925-D’s were coined, most were put into storage and later melted. Research by Roger Burdette suggests that most of the surviving coins — about 1,000 pieces, per latest estimates — are from European hoards. As is typical for Saint-Gaudens double eagles supplied by overseas hoards, the population of Mint State 1925-D coins is fairly dispersed throughout the MS60 to MS64 grade range, but finer pieces are very rare. The NGC population is 87 with 13 graded higher.

1929 $20 Saint Gaudens – PCGS MS64

Sirhc

After numerous common date Philadelphia Mint double eagles were issued through 1928, mintages continued at substantial levels in 1929 and beyond. However, beginning in 1929 these pieces were not widely distributed, but rather, were stored in Treasury vaults awaiting their fate in the government melting pots of the mid and late-1930s. In Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins,  Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth wrote: “Beginning with the 1929 double eagle and continuing through the 1933 issue, any collector who undertakes obtaining these issues does so with extreme care and financial fortitude.”
The existing population of these pieces today survives from those few coins obtained by contemporary collectors, or from a small additional number of pieces that have been found in Europe. According to Roger Burdette, the maximum number of 1929 double eagles that could have survived is 1,176 pieces with the estimated survival of only 350 pieces.

The current PCGS population is 88 with 44 graded higher.
