1842 Braided Hair Large Cent PCGS/CAC PR64BN

Sirhc

Very Rare Early Proof

The proof 1842 cent is much rarer than its 1841 predecessor. PCGS has graded only 4 examples at this grade and color designation, with just 2 higher, along with a single RB and a single RD representative. This beauty displays primarily walnut-brown surfaces with some darker mahogany toning. There are also some areas of reddish and blue iridescence, which show under a good light. In hand, up close and personal, this coin is noticeably more appealing looking.

1876 Liberty Eagle NGC AU55

Sirhc

A Rare 76’er

The overall rarity of the 1876 ten dollar rivals that of almost all other dates in the Liberty eagle series, with only the 1873 and the prohibitively rare 1875 being decisively rarer. The 1876 eagle also had a mintage of only 687 pieces, the second-lowest production total of the series, behind only the 1875 (at a paltry 100 coins). Survivors are rare in all grades, with fewer than 60 pieces believed to be extant. The sole finest known is an NGC MS61 Prooflike example. While not apparent in our images, this is a flashy, highly lustrous representative. The NGC population is a mere 5 with 6 higher.

1854 Kellogg & Co. $20 NGC AU58

Sirhc

No Cereal Here

The United States Assay Office of Gold ceased coinage operations at the end of 1853, making way for the opening of the San Francisco Mint in 1854. The new branch mint was unable to start coining immediately, with needed improvements to the facility taking precedence. As usual, the West Coast was in dire need of gold coinage, so the private firm of Kellogg & Company filled the void by striking twenty dollar gold pieces in February, 1854. The coinage was readily accepted in commerce, since both John G. Kellogg and G.F. Richter were former employees of the U.S. Assay Office. The coin offered here looks noticeably more lustrous and eye-appealing in hand.

1912 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS66

Sirhc

One of the Finest Known

The Philadelphia Mint was the sole producer of double eagles in 1912 and the issue was exported to a certain extent in overseas trade transactions, although a number of coins also circulated domestically and were used in local trade with Canada. There are hundreds of AU-level examples known, and rare pieces are seen in XF and even VF grades. Uncirculated survivors usually come with bag-marks. The bulk of the Mint State population grades only MS62 and MS63 — many of these coming from European hoards — although pieces are frequently seen at auction in the lower-population grade of MS64. The one offered here displays lovely, satiny surfaces and gorgeous color. The population is only 9 with 2 examples (both MS66+) graded higher.

1928 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS67

Sirhc

Only 8 Graded Higher

The 1928 is the final date in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series that is generally available in high grade, making it a popular type coin. The finest pieces are in MS67 and MS67+, and these are conditionally scarce. Nonetheless, they are among the most affordable Saints available to collectors in this grade, as few other issues in the series claim a collectible population in Superb Gem condition. Only 8 have been graded higher by PCGS – all MS67+ examples.

1875-S/CC Trade Dollar NGC MS64

Sirhc

Scarce, Glistening “Trade”

Type One Reverse. Many collectors are unaware there are two varieties of S/CC Trade dollars from 1875. This is the more frequently encountered one and the variant that is much easier to see with the second C widely spaced from the S. Most collectors opt for this variant for the very reason of its visibility, not to mention the extreme rarity of the other variety and need for a high-powered loupe. After the S/CC was first discovered in 1965 it was quickly noticed just how scarce it was in better grades. It is much scarcer than the 1875 S-mint or the CC-mint, especially in strictly Uncirculated condition. In hand, this specimen exhibits obvious cartwheel luster on each side. Tied with one other for highest graded by NGC.

1801 Draped Bust Eagle PCGS XF40

Sirhc

She’s Extra Fine

This, the 1801 BD-2 die marriage is well known as the single most plentiful early eagle variety, with examples readily available in all grades through Choice Mint State. As such, it is the first choice of type collectors who desire a single representative of the Heraldic Eagle type, and it is also the first choice of date collectors who seek a single example of the 1801 ten.  In hand, the coin is brighter than it appears in our images.

1908 No Motto Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS68

Sirhc

A $20 in “8”

Ex: Wells Fargo Nevada Gold. A gorgeous example of this popular two-year design type from the famous Wells Fargo Hoard. The Wells Fargo Hoard was a group of 19,900 1908 double eagles that were probably originally sent to South America in foreign trade sometime during the World War I era. They were later repatriated to this country and held in an undisclosed location until Ron Gillio purchased the hoard and stored it in a Wells Fargo Bank in Nevada. Gillio marketed the coins, which were of uniformly high quality, in the 1990s. Only 10 have been graded higher by PCGS.

1899 Barber Half Dollar PCGS MS67

Sirhc

Pop 2, 1 Higher

While the 1899 Barber half dollar is more plentiful than the 1896 and 1898 issues, it is a condition rarity in Gem or finer grades. A lack of interest in business strike Philadelphia Mint issues at the time of issue is largely responsible for the low high-grade survival rate. Prior to the 1980s, most collectors sought out proof coins for the sole reason that they were considered more desirable from an aesthetics viewpoint. The PCGS population is just 2 with a single (MS67+) example graded higher.

1892 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU53

Sirhc

Rare AU from 92

The 1892 has the last ultra-low mintage in the Liberty double eagle series, just 4,430 coins. Contemporary collectors paid little attention to high-denomination gold, and those that did often sought out proofs, not circulation strikes. As a result, this issue is about as rare in Mint State as its mintage would suggest, and even AU coins are scarce.
