1863 Three Dollar Gold Piece PCGS MS62

Sirhc

Tough Uncirculated. $3 Civil War Issue

The financial stresses and uncertainties of the Civil War caused widespread hoarding of all precious metal coinage during the war years. The U.S. government suspended specie payments in 1861, so gold coins did not circulate at par and there was limited demand for the three dollar gold piece in the national economy. Accordingly, only 5,000 three dollar gold pieces were struck in 1863, all delivered in one batch on November 21. Relatively few examples were saved and as might be expected, the 1863 three dollar gold piece is an elusive issue in all grades today. The PCGS population stands at 16 with 26 higher.

1911 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS65+

Sirhc

Satiny Sashaying Saint

The 1911 claims one of the few mintages of less than 200,000 coins, but the story of its availability is similar to that of other issues in the series. Most examples were exported to European markets, either directly from New York to London or through Ottawa, Canada. Those pieces that avoided melting overseas were subjected to rough handling, explaining why nearly all 1911 double eagles are found in MS64 or lower condition. Gems such as this, are scarce. The PCGS population is only 14 with 19 higher. Listed at $21,500 in the PCGS price guide.

1885 Liberty Nickel NGC MS67

Sirhc

Pop 3, None Higher Key Date Lib Nickel

 The 1885 has been recognized for more than a century as the coin to have, the key to the set of Liberty nickels. Only 1.4 million pieces were struck and pieces were set aside shortly after this tiny mintage became known; although by the time the general public was aware of it most coins of this date had been in circulation for some time. The availability of the 1885 shows a typical bell curve. At NGC, MS60 pieces show only two pieces certified, numbers gradually increase to the MS64 grade, then quickly taper off to the ultimate grade of MS67. The NGC population is just three (one of which is a star-designated example) with none higher. Listed at $38,700 in the CDN CPG and $25,000 in the NGC price guide.

1914-D Lincoln Cent PCGS MS65RD

Sirhc

Positively Perpetually Popular

The 1914-D Lincoln cent is a key issue in the series, from a low mintage of 1.1 million pieces. Unfortunately, despite the low mintage figure, the 1914-D was largely overlooked by contemporary collectors and few high-quality examples were saved at the time of issue. The date became better known and highly sought-after in the 1930s, with the advent of coin albums and the Standard Catalog. By then, most examples had circulated extensively and few would grade better than Fine-Very Fine by today’s standards. The PCGS population is 65 with 17 higher (with 10 of those 17 being 65+ pieces). While the population might not be extremely low in terms of absolute numbers, it’s small when you consider the vast number of Lincoln Cent collectors. Listed at $15,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1852 Humbert $10 NGC MS61

Sirhc

Rare Mint State Territorial Gold Piece

Moffat & Co., in its role as semiofficial branch mint and United States Assay Office of Gold in California, struck both over-dated (1852/1) and normal-date 1852 ten dollar gold pieces of 884 fineness using the Humbert nameplate on the reverse. Most survivors are well circulated, and true uncirculated examples are rare. In fact, the NGC population is a mere two with one higher. Listed in MS60 in both the CDN CPG and NGC price guide at $24,200.
