Only Two Graded Higher – 1877 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS63

Sirhc

The year 1877 witnessed the introduction of a third and final type in the Liberty Head twenty-dollar series, with TWENTY DOLLARS spelled out in full at the lower reverse. The Philadelphia Mint coined just shy of 400,000 pieces. A majority of certified coins show up in the AU58 to MS62 range. This date becomes very scarce at the MS63 grade level, as illustrated by the PCGS population of just 20 with 2 graded higher. And the best of the latter is MS64.

Listed at $14,400 in the CDN CPG and $15,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $12,900

1870 Pattern Half Dollar PCGS PR65+ RB

Sirhc

Judd-993, Pollock-1123, High R.7. The obverse and reverse dies are both the designs for regular-issue half dollars of 1870. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Although these could be considered die trials for a regular issue, there is little doubt that, given the plethora of different die designs and combinations, plain and reeded edges, strikes in copper, aluminum, and silver — a cornucopia of variations — that these patterns were offered in sets to collectors or their providers. This is the sole highest graded PCGS example.

1908 Motto Saint Gaudens

Sirhc

Double Eagle PCGS PR66

The Philadelphia Mint found it impossible to polish the basined surfaces and high relief devices of the new Saint-Gaudens design in the same manner as the old brilliant proofs of previous years. Accordingly, they adopted an artistic matte, or sandblast, finish for gold proof coins in 1908. After striking, the 1908 proofs were heavily sandblasted with a coarse grain of sand that produced a dark olive-gold patina, with none of the reflective fields and field-device contrast of earlier proofs. The resulting finish resembled that seen on some European medals of the period, but contemporary U.S. collectors much preferred the old brilliant proof finish. Mint records indicate only 101 proof double eagles were distributed in 1908. Remaining unsold pieces were subsequently melted. Probably no more than 60 to 70 examples survive today in all grades. In hand, the color is more of a yellow-gold than the reddish-orange seen in our images. The PCGS population is only 5 with 3 higher.

1936 Buffalo Nickel (Type 1)

Sirhc

PCGS PR68+

Buffalo nickel proof coinage resumed in 1936 after a two-decade hiatus. The Mint originally offered proofs in a Satin Finish, as here, but quickly switched to a Brilliant Finish after receiving collector feedback. The one we offer here is more vibrant than seen in our images and though not apparent here, exhibiting areas of gorgeous multicolored patina on each side. The PCGS population is only 5 with 2 higher.
