1877-S Liberty Double Eagles PCGS MS61

Sirhc

A handful, we have five coins available…

The San Francisco Mint struck large numbers of double eagles throughout the second half of the 19th century and 1877 was certainly no exception. A mintage of more than 1.7 million Liberty double eagles was accomplished that year. The coins were used to settle large accounts in both foreign and domestic trade, and few high-quality examples were saved for numismatic purposes. Accordingly, most examples seen today are heavily bag-marked specimens recovered from European holdings or worn circulated pieces that fulfilled their intended function in the hard money economy of the Western United States. Listed at $1,940 in the CDN CPG and $1,805 in the PCGS price guide.

1879-S Liberty Double Eagles NGC/PCGS MS61

Sirhc

Ten Tough $20 Lib. S-mints

The San Francisco Mint continued to be the chief producer of double eagles in 1879, striking more than 1.2 million coins (about 1 million pieces more than all three other mints combined). However, Uncirculated examples are seldom offered finer than MS61 and are decidedly rare finer than MS62. If you’re looking for one of those MS62’s you should know that it’s likely to cost more than three times the amount of these MS61’s. Listed at $3,750 in both the CDN CPG and the NGC price guide and $4,250 in the PCGS price guide.

1924-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

This one is a toughie.

Despite its substantial mintage of more than three million pieces, the 1924-D double eagle has always been an elusive issue. Most of the coins were held in Mint vaults or Federal Reserve Banks until the Gold Recall of 1933, and subsequently melted into gold bars for storage at Fort Knox. Comparatively few reached circulation in this country and the issue was believed to be quite rare in the 1940s. Fortunately, some of the exported coins were returned to the U.S., beginning about 1950, and the supply has been considerably augmented since then. The 1924-D is still scarce in MS64 condition, and very rare in higher grades. Only twelve have been graded 65 or higher by PCGS. Listed at $11,600 in the CDN CPG, $11,000 in the PCGS price guide and $12,500 in Trends.

1893-CC Morgan Dollar PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Virtually Color-Free

The 1893-CC dollar is an issue that is hard for collectors to resist since it has so much going for it. It is the final year of issue for the Carson City mint, it has a relatively low mintage of 677,000 pieces, and better-grade Uncirculated pieces are a semi-key issue in the Morgan series. Two problems are widely known by collectors for this issue, weakness of strike and pervasive bag-marks. This particular coin is fully struck in the centers, unlike many Mint State survivors. Listed at $15,700 in the CDN CPG and $15,000 in both the PCGS price guide and Trends.

1860-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS61

Sirhc

Rare Mint State

 The 1860-S Type One Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 544,950 pieces, a substantial production total in absolute terms, but slightly smaller than average for a San Francisco issue from this period. The coins were released into the channels of commerce, where they circulated heavily for many years, suffering the usual wear and attrition along the way. Few high-quality examples were saved by contemporary numismatists and the issue is rare in Mint State grades today. The current PCGS population is 16 with 12 higher. This particular example is a bit lighter and brighter than seen on our images. Listed at $16,300 in the CDN CPG and $12,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1866 Three Dollar Gold Piece PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Rare, Flashy Near-Gem

Struck shortly after the close of the Civil War, the 1866 three dollar gold piece was not saved in any meaningful quantity by collectors, and thus its low 4,000-coin mintage had more of an effect on high-grade availability than can be said of the mintages of later issues in the series. Mint State survivors are scarce across the board, but are notably rare above the MS62 level. The example offered here is highly lustrous and flashy, with a lovely overall appearance. The PCGS population is only 7 with 5 higher and if you were even able to locate an MS65 example, it would likely be more than double the price of this coin.  Listed at $16,300 in the CDN CPG, $13,000 in the PCGS price guide and $17,500 in Trends.

Highly Original Looking 1805 4 Berries Draped Bust Dime PCGS/CAC MS63+

Sirhc

The dimes of 1805 are known only by two die marriages that share a common obverse, with a small spine protruding from the top of the 5 in the date. The reverses show four or five berries, with the present 4 Berries reverse having narrow A’s and leaves that are clear of the peripheral lettering. No date is better suited to represent the Heraldic Eagle type than the 1805 dime. Although this example is a bit lighter and brighter in-hand, if you like dipped white examples, this one is most assuredly NOT for you. On the other hand, it looks about as original as you are likely to find and a good number of collectors prefer such coins. Listed at $15,000 in the PCGS price guide.

The Real Thing (but not Coca Cola) – 1969-S DDO Lincoln Cent PCGS/CAC MS61BN

Sirhc

The Real Thing (but not Coca Cola) – 1969-S DDO Lincoln Cent

PCGS/CAC MS61BN

We included the words “The Real Thing” in the listing title for this coin, because we receive weekly, if not daily inquiries about the 1969-S DDO cent. The doubling is distinct and quite impressive. Yet many collectors who own ordinary examples of this date, hope, wish or pray that they have the DDO and contact us, only to learn that they can spend their coins. 

The 1969-S Doubled Die cents have received enormous publicity in recent years, well-deserved given their status as among the few most spectacular doubled die errors in all U.S. coinage. Their only parallel within the Lincoln series is the 1955 Doubled Die Obverse cents, but the 1969-S cents are much, MUCH rarer. The PCGS population is only 3 with 6 higher! Listed at $36,300 in the CDN CPG.

Very Rare! 1797 Draped Bust Half Dollar PCGS XF40

Sirhc

The two-year Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar design type, bearing the date 1796 or 1797, is one of the three keys to completing a collection of early U.S. type coins (the others are the 1796 No Stars and 1808 quarter eagles). The scant mintage of 3,918 pieces and survival of about 300 examples affirm the key status of the 1796-1797 half. Both dates are necessary to complete a date collection of early half dollars, and no type collection can be considered complete without the presence of a Draped Bust, Small Eagle half. It is a major challenge to locate an original specimen in any grade. The PCGS population stands at just 2 with 18 higher. Listed at $145,000 in the PCGS price guide.
