1808 Capped Bust Half Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

A Very Old, but Unworn Lady

This issue is part of a very short lived series, often referred to as “Capped Bust Large Bust”, which ran only from 1807-1812. The example offered here is well struck and exhibits a pleasing tarnish-gold color. Considering that It would likely cost five figures to obtain a representative which grades just a single point higher, this grade seems like a nice entry point.

1914 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS65+

Sirhc

One of the Very Finest

The 1914 is a relatively low-mintage issue, boasting a production total of only 95,250 coins. These were produced chiefly for the purpose of backing gold certificates being issued for circulation. Most surviving coins, repatriated from overseas, are extensively bag-marked from repeated moving and jostling in bags. In Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, Roger Burdette reasons that most of the high-grade survivors known today came from the same few bags that received less movement throughout their life. A few high-grade pieces may also trace their origins to collectors who acquired them directly from the Mint Cashier in the United States. The one offered here boasts clean surfaces with a satin-like texture. Only 8 have been graded higher by PCGS.

1895 Morgan Dollar NGC PR63

Sirhc

Long Live the “King”

Mint records indicate 880 proof Morgan dollars were struck in 1895, to accompany a tiny business-strike mintage of 12,000 pieces. Unfortunately, none of the regular-issue coins have ever surfaced in any collection, leaving collectors to wonder if the mintage figures represent some kind of accounting error, or if the coins were held in government storage until 1918 and melted under the provisions of the Pittman Act. In either case, date collectors have always relied on the small supply of proofs to fill this whole in their collections and the 1895 has often been called the “King of the Morgan dollars.” While not designated as a Cameo, this example displays some contrast, particularly on the reverse.

1928 Peace Dollar PCGS MS66

Sirhc

Just One Graded Higher

Famous for its low mintage of 360,649 pieces — the lowest in the series — the 1928 Peace dollar is a key date in circulated grades. In Mint State, this issue is more plentiful, albeit acquiring an example comes at a price. Typically, eye appeal is average or before, even on near-Gem coins, due to the subdued satin luster and dusky golden toning that characteristically come as a pair on this issue. Moreover, higher-grade coins are rare. The PCGS population is just 21 with a single (MS66+) representative graded higher.

1909-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS65+

Sirhc

This Saint is Tough!

The 1909-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a better date, due to its small mintage of 52,500 coins. The surviving population is estimated at roughly 1,200 coins, of which the finest pieces either came from South American holdings or were preserved by a few numismatists from the Mint Cashier. European coins were usually jostled in storage, making low grades the norm from that source. The NGC population is a mere 1 with 2 higher.
