1859-O Liberty Double Eagle NGC XF45

Sirhc

A Rare O-mint $20 Lib

The 1859-O is a rare New Orleans double eagle with a small 9,100-coin mintage. Perhaps only approximately 100 pieces are known in all grades, primarily distributed throughout the various XF and AU levels. Only two Mint State pieces are documented, both heavily bag-marked. The 1859-O shares its rarity with most other O-Mint twenties leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War. After the San Francisco Mint became operational in 1854, gold deposits in New Orleans declined significantly, and large denomination gold coinage plummeted. Between 1854 and the 1909, when the New Orleans Mint ceased coin production for the final time, fewer than 115,000 double eagles were struck at that facility.

1912 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC PR65

Sirhc

Gem

As the various proof finishes offered by the Mint in the early 20th century became increasingly unpopular with the public, production totals dropped accordingly. Only 74 proof Saint-Gaudens double eagles were struck in 1912, using an innovative sandblast process in place of the earlier matte and Roman finishes. The sandblast finish created an even mustard coloration over both sides of the coin, with tiny sparkling facets that can be observed with magnification. This sparkle gives the surfaces a vibrant “life” to balance the deep monochromatic coloration. Unfortunately, the sandblast finish proved just as unpopular as the matte and Roman proofs of earlier years. It is likely that some of the coins went unsold and were melted after the end of the year.

1865 SS Republic Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

2 Graded Higher

Ex: S.S. Republic. From a smallish mintage of 351,175 pieces, the 1865 Liberty double eagle was a rare issue in high grade before the recovery of the S.S. Republic in 2003. Fortunately for present-day collectors, that famous shipwreck find yielded 320 examples of this issue, which graded AU50 to MS65. Consequently, Mint State examples can be found in today’s market with a little patience. Still, even today, the NGC population is only 22 (including 1 “Star” designated example) with 2 higher.

1870-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Sirhc

Few are Finer

The 1870-S Liberty double eagle claims a substantial mintage of 982,000 pieces, but most of the coins were released into circulation, where they were either exported or worn down and melted for recoinage. The average survivor grades no better than VF or XF today, and the issue is a prime condition rarity in grades above MS61. The PCGS popualtion is only 17 with 3 higher.

1920-S Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

The 1920-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is among the greatest rarities in the series, particularly in high grade.  In the absolute sense, it’s a trifle more plentiful than the 1927-D, the 1930-1932 melt rarities, and by an even smaller margin, the 1921. However, in Gem condition, the 1920-S excels — at this level, only the 1921 and 1927-D are considered rarer or more significant acquisitions. This, of course, excludes the uncollectible 1933 and the 1907 Ultra High Relief pattern. No meaningful quantities have ever turned up in European hoards, and it is likely that none were ever officially used in the foreign trade. The example offered here is lighter and brighter in hand.The NGC population is a mere 2 with none higher.

1909 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS65+

Sirhc

The Philadelphia Mint struck a smallish production of 161,282 Saint-Gaudens double eagles in 1909, split between the normal date and 1909/8 overdate varieties. A large number of lower Mint State examples surfaced in a European hoard some time ago, but the 1909 remains elusive in MS65 condition, and finer examples are prime condition rarities. This is a highly attractive example with a PCGS population of just 4 with 7 higher.

1884-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Sirhc

Tough Unc. Twenty Lib.CGS MS62

No circulation strikes were manufactured at the Philadelphia Mint in 1884, placing even greater demand on Carson City double eagles minted that year (81,139 coins). However, survivors are generally seen in XF and AU grades, often with problems, and they are seldom offered in mint condition above MS62. The one offered here exhibits an attractive orange-gold hue.

1879 Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

One of the Very Finest Known

Production of double eagles declined at the Philadelphia Mint in 1879, with a reported mintage of 207,600 pieces. Many circulated survivors are available in today’s market, but Mint State coins are rare. And when it comes to choice uncirculated or better examples, we’re talking RARE! NGC and PCGS combined, have graded only 30 pieces MS63 or higher. Better yet, this is the sole MS65 graded by NGC, with just one higher and PCGS has graded a single MS65, with none higher. This one displays a sharp strike and satiny luster, which is much more pronounced in-hand.

1854 Large Date Liberty Double Eagle PCGS/CAC AU58

Sirhc

Large One (Date)

Much scarcer than its Small Date counterpart, the Large Date 1854 double eagle continues to gain popularity among collectors as one of the premier Type One varieties in the series. It is a considerable condition rarity as well as an absolutely scarce variety, represented by only a small fraction of the total 1854 mintage of 757,899 pieces. This particular example exhibits an especially wholesome appearance. The PCGS population is just 15 with 8 higher.

Overdate 1853/2 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS60

Sirhc

Rare Unc.

While the status of the 1853/2 remains controversial, collectors flock to the variety as the only potential overdate of the series. An anomaly in the lower loop of 3 gets most of the attention, and re-punching above the base of 1 is clearly present. A squarish die lump beneath R in LIBERTY is diagnostic of the variety. The PCGS population is just 3 with 11 higher, the latter figure being comprised solely of MS61 grade examples.
