Sparkling 1852-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU58

Sirhc

The 1852-O Liberty double eagle claims a substantial mintage of 190,000 pieces, but the issue circulated heavily in the regional economy at the time of issue and few examples were saved by contemporary collectors. As a result, the 1852-O is readily available in lower circulated grades, but it becomes very scarce at the AU58 level, and Mint State coins are rare. The PCGS population is 97 with 28 graded higher. This offering exhibits strong luster, that sparkles under light and contributes to this coin’s excellent eye-appeal.

Listed at $15,800 in the CDN CPG and $16,000 the NGC price guide.

A Rare 55 (O) in 55 – 1855-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU55

Sirhc

This issue is one of the rarest New Orleans twenties. After the first four emissions of double eagles from the New Orleans Mint (in 1850, 1851, 1852, and 1853), there were considerably fewer coins made in 1854, producing a major rarity in the Liberty double eagle series. Only 70 to 80 pieces are believed to be extant today in all grades, with most falling in the Very Fine to Extremely Fine level of preservation (Douglas Winter,  Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, 1839–1909). Just a handful of Uncirculated survivors have been certified. The NGC population is 12 with 10 graded higher. In hand, this particular example is lighter in color, as well as considerably more lustrous and eye-appealing than seen in our images.

Listed at $74,400 in the CDN CPG and $72,500 in the NGC price guide.

1895-O Barber Half Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

One of Only Two

With a mintage of more than 1.7 million half dollars, the 1895-O is available in a wide range of grades up to MS63 or even MS64. However, Gem or finer examples of this issue are important condition rarities and the top- grade coins rarely get credit for their importance to collectors. NGC has graded only 12 pieces MS65 or higher, including this and one MS67 Star-designated example, which are tied for the highest.

1895-O Morgan Dollar PCGS MS62+

Sirhc

This Rare Morgan is a Definite “Plus”

There are a great number of 1895-O dollars available in the range of Very Fine to low AU, but in Mint State the population thins out by an order of magnitude, with most of those coins in the lower Mint State grades of MS60 to MS62. In MS63 the 1895-O is rarity of great achievement to acquire. In his Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, Q. David Bowers writes: “The 1895-O emerged as the single circulation-strike variety that is not known to have been a part of any Treasury releases via bags. … I have heard suggestions that from several dozen to a couple hundred Mint State coins came out of the Treasury Building in the early 1950s, but how they would grade today is anybody’s guess. Uncirculated coins of years ago are often classified as AU today. I have found no account or even a rumor of any being a part of the 1962 through 1964 Treasury release.” The one offered here is considerably more lustrous than seen in our images.

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.
