1908-D With Motto Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

Despite objections from President Theodore Roosevelt, Congress mandated that the motto IN GOD WE TRUST be added to the Saint-Gaudens double eagle and other U.S. coinage. While Roosevelt felt the motto distracted from the Saint-Gaudens design, he yielded to public outcry and Congressional will. All of the 1908 With Motto twenties (Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco) are scarce in Gem Uncirculated condition and rare any finer, although the 1908-D Motto benefits from several high-grade examples found in Central America in 1983.

The NGC population is 10 with 9 graded higher.

1908 Indian Half Eagle NGC MS66

dyann

Collectors will find the 1908 to be among the most plentiful Indian half eagles in Gem and better condition, even while some other dates such as the 1909-D are more available overall. The higher Gem population of the 1908 is due to the first-year-of-issue status of this date, which historically resulted in more widespread preservation of examples due to the novelty of the new design. Even so, the 1908 Indian is conditionally rare in MS66, and just a handful of finer pieces are known.

The NGC population is 14 with 7 graded higher.

None Graded Higher – 1890 Morgan NGC MS66 Dollar

dyann

The Sherman Silver Purchase Act, passed in July 1890, replaced the Bland-Allison Act as the authorizing legislation for the Morgan silver dollar. The law provided for the purchase of some 54 million troy ounces of silver annually from Western mining interests. As could be expected with such a supply of bullion, silver dollar production in 1890 was substantial throughout the year, with more than 16 million coins ultimately produced. These were paid out gradually over many years, with the final distribution being in the Treasury releases of the early 1960s. Careless preservation, then, ended up being a major factor in the rarity of high-grade examples, as the date is readily available in grades through MS65. But that’s where the availability stops.

The NGC population is only 10 with none graded higher.

Listed at $15,000 in both the CDN CPG and the NGC price guide.

The single Highest Graded 1841 Seated Liberty Quarter PCGS MS66

dyann

The 1841 Seated quarters are rarely encountered in high grades, with this example being one of the two finest. Strong doubling is evident on the reverse legend of this variety. Although slight peripheral softness is seen on the obverse stars, all other details show excellent definition. The frosty silver surfaces are faintly toned with hints of gold. This is the only example to grade MS66 at PCGS, with none higher.
Listed at $40,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1915 Indian Eagle PCGS MS66

dyann

The economic uncertainties of World War I caused the U.S. Mint to drastically curtail the production of gold coins during that conflict. As a result, the 1915 Indian eagle was the last ten-dollar gold piece struck at the Philadelphia Mint until 1926. The mintage for the 1915 issue was 351,075, and the coins were generally well-produced. This Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements in most areas, with just a touch of the usual softness on the eagle’s shoulder. The extremely well preserved golden-orange surfaces exhibit vibrant mint luster on both sides of this eye-appealing example.

The PCGS population is 11 with 7 graded higher.

Popular First-Year-Of-Issue 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle PCGS MS66

Sirhc

Bela Lyon Pratt’s quarter eagle and half eagle avoided the motto controversy that swept the recently introduced Saint-Gaudens gold types. But Pratt’s novel recessed relief design had its naysayers, who thought that germs would accumulate within the devices. However, the principal numismatic difference between the Indian quarter eagle and its Liberty predecessor is that high grades for the former are more difficult to obtain. This is because the fields are the highpoints of the design, and are unprotected from abrasions.

The 1908 Indian quarter eagle was well saved at the time of issue and as a result, examples are plentiful in Gem condition today, and Premium Gems are only marginally scarce. However, of the 127 coins graded MS66 at PCGS, only ten of those pieces carry a Plus designation, and just four are certified finer.

None Graded Higher –  Blazing Gem -1903 Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

The 1903 Liberty double eagle claims a nominal mintage of 287,270 pieces. Like other high-denomination gold issues of the time, the 1903 was primarily used in foreign trade or as currency reserves. Beginning after World War II, a number of coins surfaced in European and Central American holdings, increasing the supply of attractive specimens in today‘s market. The repatriated coins are often found in Mint State condition, but they usually exhibit some surface marks from rough storage and transport. At the MS66 grade level, the 1903 is a very rare issue. The NGC population is just 16 with none graded higher.

Highly Attractive 1907 No Motto Indian Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

The Philadelphia Mint struck off 239,400 Saint-Gaudens Indian Head eagles after the No Periods design had been finalized.

This short-lived type remains collectible in high grades but becomes quite scarce-to-rare in MS67 condition. The example herein offered boasts excellent eye-appeal

1853 G50C Arms of California BG-435 NGC MS66

Sirhc

BG-435 is one of the most important and best-known California small denomination gold varieties. It was the only variety to appear on the back of the Jay Roe auction catalog, and the only variety to have both sides shown on the front of the catalog. BG-435 is the sole Arms of California variety, and is one of the few varieties with a side that imitates the eagle, shield, and ribbon motif from the Assay Office slugs. This is a very scarce item in any condition and Gems are outright rare! This is the only example graded MS66 by NGC, with none higher. It exhibits extremely well preserved, semi-PL surfaces. Unlisted in the NGC price guide but listed at $20,000 in the PCGS price guide.
