RARE CERTIFIED U.S. GOLD COINS

Tied for Highest Graded – 1903-S Liberty Half Eagle PCGS MS67

dyann

An unremarkable production of more than 1.8 million half eagles was accomplished at the San Francisco Mint in 1903. The 1903-S five is widely collectible through MS63 and even MS64. Examples in Gem and Premium Gem grades are scarce, while Superb Gems of this quality are condition rarities.

The PCGS population is only 5 with none graded higher.

Listed at $16,200 in the CDN CPG and $20,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1835 Classic Half Eagle PCGS MS63

dyann

From a reported mintage of 371,534 pieces, the 1835 Classic Head half eagle is known in seven different die varieties. The 1835 is reasonably easy to locate in lower Mint State grades, but it is a prime condition rarity in higher grades. This particular example boasts a bold strike and flashy semi-prooflike surfaces. The overall visual impression is extremely impressive. The PCGS population is 16 with 16 graded higher, none better than MS64.

Rare 1834 Crosslet 4 Classic Half Eagle NGC AU58

dyann

A change in the weight specifications for U.S. gold coins in 1834 prompted a design change to distinguish the new, lower-weight half eagles from previous old-tenor pieces. Earlier half eagles had a greater intrinsic value than their face value, which led to widespread hoarding and melting. Many of the heavier-weight coins were melted and struck as 1834 Classic Head fives, which feature a new portrait of Liberty without a cap. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is absent from the reverse. Two date logotypes exist. Most of the 1834 Classic Head half eagles have a Plain 4 in the date, while a single, scarce variety (as offered here) displays a Crosslet 4 date.

The NGC population is 16 with 9 graded higher.

Tied with 1 Other for Highest Graded – 1844 Liberty Half Eagle NGC MS64

dyann

The 1843, 1845, and 1847 No Motto half eagles are more available than the 1844, the latter significantly so. However, this Philadelphia issue remains one of the more collectible entries from the early part of the series. It claims a mintage of 340,330 coins, possibly 30 to 40 of which survive in Mint State. The one offered here features pleasing orange-gold color.

The NGC population is only 2 with none graded higher.

Just 2 Graded Higher – 1913 Indian Half Eagle PCGS MS65+

dyann

The 1913 half eagle is usually glossed over in references and discussions on Indian Head gold. With a mintage of more than 915,000 coins, the date is plentiful in most grades and is only considered scarce in Gem condition. But perhaps that is a mistake. The date may be plentiful, but it is often fully struck and lustrous — the perfect type coin. It is also underappreciated in the top grade — not MS65, but MS66.

The PCGS population is only 5 with 2 graded higher.

1883 Liberty Half Eagle NGC PR65 DCAM

Sirhc

Proof $5 Lib Rarity

The 1883 proof Liberty half eagle claims a mintage of 61 pieces, a notable increase over the previous year, but still a tiny number in absolute terms. Forty examples were issued with the proof sets on February 10 and the rest were struck as individual pieces throughout the year. Unfortunately, the higher mintage just off-set a low survival rate for this issue, and the surviving population is not noticeably larger than those of previous years. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth note, “There are fewer than 20 coins traceable today, including those in museum collections.” In hand this beauty is more yellow-gold hue than the red-orange seen in our images. The NGC population stands at just 2 with 2 higher.

1929 Indian Half Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

None Graded Higher

Only the Philadelphia Mint coined gold in 1929, and production was focused on the double eagle denomination. The 1929 half eagle is, in terms of total population, the rarest Indian Head five in the series. Several hundred pieces survive, primarily in Mint State, since this issue never circulated. However, the PCGS population report shows only 12 at this grade level with NONE HIGHER. Nor has NGC graded any higher, either. In other words, an MS65 is as good as it gets for this date. This one is lustrous and attractive.

1929 Indian Half Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Last Year-Of-Issue Rarity

The Indian Head half eagle series was short-lived. Yet, it comprised a number of highly elusive dates, none more so than the 1929. Although the 1909-O is perhaps more recognizable to the uninitiated thanks to its low mintage of 34,200 coins, the 1929 is rarer in the absolute sense with a survival rate approximately 50% lower than its New Orleans counterpart. The Mint struck 662,000 five-dollar gold pieces that year, but nearly the entire mintage was held in reserve and eventually melted after the Gold Recall of 1933. Coins that avoided the melting pot are apt to be found in AU to Uncirculated condition, generally MS61 to MS63.

Sirhc

Choice Mint State

 A mintage of 30,475 Capped Bust Right half eagles was accomplished in 1804, with seven die varieties known for the date. This coin represents the scarce BD-1 variety, with a Small 8 (John Dannreuther notes it is really a Normal 8) in the date and a graver’s line from the point of the shield to the eagle’s beak on the reverse. The BD-1 has a surviving population of 70-90 examples in all grades.
