Highly Attractive 1807 Draped Bust Quarter Eagle PCGS MS61

Sirhc

1807 is the final year for the Capped Bust Right type, which had ruled the denomination since its 1796 debut. Like many quarter eagle and dime die pairings from the early Mint era, the dies for the 1807 BD-1 quarter eagle — a single-die-pair year — were used to strike about 6,800 of the gold coins along with an estimated 165,000 silver dimes, which are also known through only the single JR-1 die marriage. These “marriages of convenience” were enabled via the lack of a stated denomination on either type. Although the obverse die is new (of course), the reverse die was previously used for all quarter eagles dated 1805 and 1806.

Though not apparent in our images, the example offered here exhibits abundant luster and excellent eye-appeal. The PCGS population is 9 with 23 graded higher.

1793 Wreath, Vine & Bars Large Cent NGC XF45

Sirhc

After the public outcry over the Chain design, Mint Director David Rittenhouse ordered the preparation of new designs, resulting in the Wreath cents, a slight improvement over the Chain cents. Production began in early April and continued until the end of that month, picking up again in early July. Coinage was halted after the production of 63,353 Wreath cents. In-hand, this example is somewhat lighter than seen on our images.

Listed at $26,400 in the CDN CPG and $25,000 (in XF 40) in the NGC price guide.

Just 1 Graded Higher – 1852 Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS63

Sirhc

The 1852 date was a heavily minted (over 2 million produced), but like all Type One double eagles it is distinctly uncommon in Mint State and rare in Select Mint State. Type collectors usually focus on the 1851, 1852, 1853 and 1861 double eagles to find a suitable specimen. Gold specialists compete for these dates, searching out sharp examples with excellent eye appeal. The one offered here exhibits satiny surfaces and golden-tan color. The NGC population is only 8 with 1 graded higher.

Listed at $28,800 in the CDN CPG and $29,500 in the NGC price guide.

Tough 1927-S Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS61

Sirhc

The 1927-S double eagle has a long history of being among the scarcest and most prized dates in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. No significant quantities were ever released to the Treasurer, and the vast majority of the more than 3 million-coin mintage was later melted. In Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles,  Roger Burdette writes:

“After World War II, scarce-date coins began to surface in the bullion and numismatic holdings of European banks and individual. Several issues once thought to be very rare were located; some such as 1922-S and 1926-S in large quantities. A few 1927-S double eagles appeared, but not enough to have a significant impact on the coin’s relative scarcity.”
Today, about 300 pieces are believed extant in all grades, most residing in the MS61 to MS63 grade range.

Tied for Highest Graded – 1868-S Liberty Eagle NGC AU58

Sirhc

This Western ten-dollar issue is unknown in Uncirculated condition, placing added demand on the few examples that have met the requirements for an AU58 assessment. Dave Bowers writes that “Most are VF or EF” but that enough survive in AU to satisfy advanced collectors with “generous budgets.” That may be true in lower AU grades, but hardly at this level. Even the most well-financed specialists will require patience in seeking a near-mint state representative. The NGC population is just 7 with none graded higher. Coincidentally, the PCGS population is also 7 with none higher.

Listed at $20,400 in the CDN CPG and $20,000 in the NGC price guide.

Offered at $15,100
