1940 (Reverse of 1938) Jefferson Nickel PCGS PR68

Sirhc

According to Ron Guth and Bill Gale in their 2002 edition of United States Proof Sets and Mint Sets,  the Reverse of 1938 (with wavy steps on Monticello) is currently “approximately fifty times rarer” than the Reverse of 1940 variety. This variety is easily distinguished from its common Reverse of 1940 counterpart by examining the steps of Monticello. The 1938 hub shows the steps slightly indistinct with mild “wavy” appearance, while the 1940 hub shows the steps crisp and straight. T he PCGS population is only 4 with none graded higher.

Just 1 Graded Higher – 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS68

Sirhc

The 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar, struck during the midst of World War II to the extent of more than 47 million pieces, is a common coin which can be found in circulated condition in bags of 90% silver to this day. In fact, it’s typically plentiful, even as fine as MS67, but beyond that grade level, the issue is notably rare. The example herein offered boasts exceptionally well-preserved surfaces and bespeaks originality. T he PCGS population is 12 with only 1 graded higher.

1839 Type of 1840 Liberty Eagle PCGS XF45

Sirhc

In his 1998 sale of the John Jay Pittman Collection, Part II, David Akers presented the following remarks on the 1839 Head of 1840 eagle: “The 1839 Type of 1840 issue is one of the greatest rarities among all Liberty Head eagles, especially in high grade. It is also far more rare that the 1839 Type of 1838 or even the 1838, both of which have traditionally been more highly prized due to their type coin status.” Today, only 50 to 60 examples are believed extant, with just three or four in Mint State. The example offered here is noticeably lighter and more lustrous than seen in our images. The PCGS population is 5 with 16 graded higher.

Listed at $11,800 in the CDN CPG and $13,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Very Rare 1847-O Liberty Quarter Eagle PCGS MS63

Sirhc

 In 1847 the New Orleans Mint was less than a decade old, at least in terms of coinage manufacture — construction began in 1835 and was completed in 1839 — and the facility set numerous records in the year. The eagle coinage for 1847 was the single largest O-mint production, coming in at 571,000 pieces, and even today examples are readily available through the AU level.
The quarter eagle mintage was also generous, at 124,000 pieces, but surviving examples are scarce in AU condition and legitimately rare in Unc. The PCGS population is only 3 with 3 graded higher.

Listed at $21,000 in the CDN CPG and $22,500 in the PCGS price guide.

Rare 1870-CC Seated Liberty Half Dollar NGC AU50

Sirhc

This 1870-CC in About Uncirculated is a rare coin in uncommonly desirable condition. Just eight examples of the date are certified in Uncirculated grades between the two major grading services, and About Uncirculated examples are very rare in their own right. Among Seated half collectors, the 1870-CC is ranks near the top of the most challenging issues for the entire series. Competition is intense for problem-free, high-grade examples. The NGC population is only 6 with 7 graded higher.

Listed at $26,400 in the CDN CPG and $30,000 in the NGC price guide.

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.

MARKET SPOTLIGHT
‘Tables turning’ in global currency markets may lead to further gains for gold

Sirhc

Source: Heraeus Precious Appraisal

Precious metals prices rose in the final weeks of 2022 as the dollar began
to weaken. Despite a boost from the heightened geopolitical uncertainty in
Q1’22 and higher inflation than for several decades, by the end of 2022
the gold price in dollar terms finished near to where it began last January
($1,810/oz vs. $1,825/oz). In Europe, the euro gold price gained 6% on
the year owing to a 6% depreciation of the EURUSD pair.
Monetary policy divergence could lead to further dollar depreciation. With
inflation still high, the ECB President vowed in December to raise interest
rates by 50 bp in February, with a further 50 bp possibly coming hot on its
heels in March. This would add to the 250 bp cumulative hikes since July.
Some forecasts predict the ECB could take the Bloc’s deposit facility to
3.5% (currently 2.0%) by H2’23, implying a total of 150 bp in additional
hikes this year. Taking the Fed’s December median (dot plot) projection of
5.25% for the Federal Funds Rate by the end of 2023, further implied hikes
in the US amount to 75 bp. The potential variance in monetary policies by
the second half of the year could lead to the dollar weakening further.

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.
