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.

The PCGS population is just 7 with 4 graded higher.

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.

The 1843, 1845, and 1847 No Motto half eagles are more available than the 1844, the latter significantly so.

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.

Highly Pleasing Scarcity – 1861 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

The 1861 Liberty double eagle is one of the most popular type coins among No Motto issues, struck to the extent of more than 2.9 million coins. Prior to the discovery of the  S.S. Central America and its hold of thousands of 1857-S and 1856-S double eagles, the 1861 was recognized as the most plentiful Type One issue in high grade. Nonetheless, near-Gem pieces such as this one, are conditionally scarce, and finer examples are rare.

Contrary to how the coin appears in pour images, it’s uniform in color and of the lighter yellow-gold color that shows. The PCGS population is 13 with 8 graded higher.

Listed at $44,400 in the CDN CPG and $50,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Flashy, Retail-Friendly 1919-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS64

The NGC population is 48 with 32 graded higher. Listed at $13,800 in the CDN CPG and $13,000 in the NGC price guide.

1876-S Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS64

Sirhc

Rare, Last Year of Type

The 1876-S double eagle had a mintage exceeding 1.5 million coins, but this does not necessarily translate into high-grade availability. Mint State coins are only plentiful through the MS62 level, after which the certified population drops off sharply. In MS64, the ’76-S is a major condition rarity and anything finer is almost unobtainable. The NGC is only 11 with 5 higher. This particular example offers a pleasing overall appearance.

1862 Liberty Quarter Eagle NGC MS64

Sirhc

Rare, Choice Unc. Civil War Issue

Although the 1862 quarter eagle has a mintage that tops 98,000 coins — one of the higher production totals of the period — Mint State examples are still rare in all grades. Most such pieces are heavily bag-marked, and relatively few grade higher than MS62. The finest graded are one PCGS 64+ and one NGC MS64+. The NGC population is just 3 with 1 higher. In hand, this example is more lustrous and less reddish-gold in hue than seen in our images.
