Rare 1927-S Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS62+

Sirhc

Along with its famed Denver Mint brethren, the 1927-S represents one of the first late-date melt rarities in the series. Branch mint double eagles from the 1920s tend to be elusive across the board (aside from the 1923-D), but the 1927 issues take it to the next level. The 1927-S was struck to the extent of 3.1 million coins, but that figure is entirely misleading when it comes to estimating the issue’s availability. According to the research of Dr. Charles W. Green in the late 1940s, only 3,750 pieces were officially dispersed from Treasury vaults. A small number made their way to Europe where they were preserved until being resold on the American market in the mid-20th century. The vast majority of coins that remained in the United States after the Gold Recall of 1933 were converted into gold bars. Probably no more than 250 pieces and possibly as few as 200 coins survive.

The NGC population is 39 with 45 graded higher.

Tied for Highest Graded – 1880 Seated Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS67

Sirhc

The years from 1879 through 1890 saw skimpy half dollar mintages at the Philadelphia Mint (and no half dollar mintages elsewhere) as the nation’s coin factories concentrated on increasing the glut of unpopular, largely unused Morgan dollars mandated by cronyism and politics (pardon the redundancy) in the form of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. The Philadelphia Mint struck 8,400 business strikes and 1,355 proofs in 1880 . This example displays color-free surfaces and is tied with five others for the highest graded at NGC.

Listed at $14,400 in the CDN CPG and $13,500 in the NGC price guide.

1892 Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU58

Sirhc

This Philadelphia issue is a standout rarity within the latter part of the double eagle series, boasting the lowest mintage of any date from that point through 1907, when the Liberty Head motif was replaced with Saint-Gaudens’ design. Only 4,430 circulation strikes were manufactured, plus 93 proofs. Although the 1892 did not see much circulation and was likely subject to exportation overseas, examples are rarely seen in Uncirculated condition. The NGC population is 30 with 38 graded higher.

Listed at $19,200 in the CDN CPG and $18,500 in the NGC price guide.

Rare, Eye-Appealing 1891-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU58

Sirhc

All 1891-CC twenty-dollar gold pieces feature the same obverse and reverse dies. The issue ranks as the third most challenging Carson City double eagle after the 1870-CC and 1871-CC. Its mintage of 5,000 coins is only 1,211 pieces higher than the virtually unobtainable first-year issue from the Nevada branch mint. However, the 1891-CC does enjoy a substantially higher survival rate of about 6% compared to 1.5% for the 1870-CC. Regardless, this late-date issue remains scarce in all grades and is particularly rare in Mint State. The vast majority of examples offered are in XF and AU grades. The PCGS population is 33 with 27 graded higher.

Listed at $60,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $52,750
