1891-S Morgan Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

None Higher at NGC – Frosty-White

In the 2014 reference Morgan Dollar, Michael Standish writes: “John Love recalls five bags full of low-grade Uncirculated 1891-S Morgans being part of LaVere Redfield’s hoard of silver dollars.” This corresponds to the moderate availability of this date through MS64. In Gem condition, however, the 1891-S emerges as a better date among San Francisco Morgans, and in MS66 it is genuinely rare. At the MS67 grade level, there are only 4 so-graded by NGC, including the present example.

1811 Tall 5 Capped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS63

Sirhc

No “Shortie” Here

In Mint State, this, the BD-1, is by far the scarcer of the two 1811 half eagle varieties. In the absolute sense, BD-1 is fairly plentiful for an early half eagle with perhaps 175 to 250 coins known, per John Dannreuther. But the population thins considerably in Mint State. The NGC population is a mere 3 with 5 higher, none finer than MS64. The one we offer here boasts a sharp strike and frosty surfaces.

1805 Draped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS64

Sirhc

Flashy, Choice Uncirculated

Prior to the publication of Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties in 2006, there was considerable confusion surrounding the half eagle die varieties of 1805 and 1806. Some coins were routinely offered as “new varieties” because they didn’t match anything in Walter Breen’s 1960s-era monograph. One later author described seven 1805 half eagle varieties, and noted that five of those seven were unlisted in Breen. Finally, using the observations of Harry Bass, Dannreuther correctly published the five known varieties in his 2006 reference, creating order out of chaos. When viewed in hand, this coin is lighter and far more lustrous and flashier than seen in in our images. The NGC population is just 16 with 4 higher.

1916 Standing Liberty Quarter NGC MS67FH

Sirhc

The 1916 is unique in the series in several respects, not least among them the fact that it is the only date showing, what was at the time of issue, a knowingly unfinished design. Although nearly identical to MacNeil’s original models, the Mint produced a significantly lower relief coin with an inferior level of sharpness. Trial impressions of this version were initially approved by Mint Director F.H. von Engelken, but correspondence suggests that the director had later become unhappy with the softness of the obverse details. By the time improvements were made to the sharpness of the design, the engraving department was preparing 1917-dated hubs and the improvements were only implemented on hubs for 1917 coinage. A token quantity of 52,000 Standing Liberty quarters was struck at the tail end of 1916. This issue is now regarded as one of the most significant key dates in the series. In hand, the surfaces are considerably lighter and more lustrous looking. The NGC population stands at just four with none higher.

1808/7 Capped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS61

Sirhc

According to Mint records, 55,578 Capped Bust Left half eagles were struck in 1808, the second year of the design. Four die varieties are known for the date, two with perfect dates and two struck from leftover obverse dies from 1807 that were over-dated and pressed into service. The remnants of the under-type 7 are plainly visible at the upper left and lower left of the final 8, and inside the top loop. The BD-1 is a rare variety, with fewer than three dozen examples thought to be extant in all grades. It probably accounted for 2,000-3,000 pieces of the reported mintage and is by far the rarest variety of the date. In hand, this example is considerably more lustrous and eye-appealing than seen in our images.
