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.

1836 Block 8 Classic Quarter Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

Just 1 Graded Higher

A mintage of 547,986 Classic Head quarter eagles was accomplished in 1836, with eight die varieties known for the date. The varieties are divided into two main subtypes, five with a Script 8 in the date and three with a Block 8. This coin represents the Second Head of 1837 Variety 15, with a Block 8 date style and a detached berry in the olive branch on the reverse. In general, the Block 8 varieties are much more elusive than their Script 8 counterparts.

The one we offer here exhibits frosted, sun-gold surfaces, radiant luster and a very bold strike. Add to that, this coin’s splendid eye-appeal and you have a virtually irreplaceable treasure.

1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel NGC MS65

Sirhc

Buffalo nickel coinage at Denver in 1937 totaled more than 17.8 million coins. Although this mintage paled in comparison to the 79 million coins struck at Philadelphia, Denver produced its coinage with die pairs that were often stretched past their normal life span. One such die was became so heavily eroded that it was aggressively lapped to remove metal flowlines. The lapping mostly effaced the bison’s forward right leg, creating what is now known as the 1937-D Three-Legged nickel. The variety is one of the key acquisitions for collectors of the Guide Book series, surpassed in scarcity only by the 1916 doubled die and 1918/7-S overdate.

The NGC population is 57 with 29 graded higher.

Pop 1, None Graded Higher 1889-S Liberty Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

From a mintage of 425,400 pieces, the 1889-S Liberty eagle is not too difficult to locate in lower circulated grades but Choice examples are rare. Writing all the way back in 2006, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth remarked:

“MS-64 examples are very rare and the finest certified example is a single PCGS MS-65 coin, which has yet to appear on the market.” The current PCGS population report shows one MS65+ example, (but no MS65’s) with none higher. For its part, the NGC population is 1 with none graded higher.

Just 3 Graded Higher – 1883-S Morgan Dollar NGC MS65

dyann

Although heavily touted as a conditionally scarce date in Mint State, the 1883-S Morgan remains collectible in grades through MS64, and is frequently offered at auction in that range. It is the Gem grade level from where this issue draws its recognition. In MS65, the 1883-S Morgan is a grand rarity in absolute numbers, and in the context of the series, is truly rare. Including possible resubmissions, there are fewer than three dozen Gem or finer examples seen by the leading certification services.

The NGC population is 12 (3 of which have been designated “Star”) with 3 graded higher.
