Rare 1885-CC Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU55

dyann

The Carson City Mint saw double eagle production dwindle to just 9,450 pieces in 1885, down from 81,139 coins in 1884. That represented an 88% decline in the number of twenty-dollar gold pieces put out from one year to the next. This would also be the last year coins were struck in Nevada until 1889. The 1885-CC double eagle boasts a surviving population of a few hundred coins, perhaps 400 or so pieces by Rusty Goe’s estimate. The NGC population is 57 with 79 graded higher.

Listed at $30,600 in the CDN CPG and $36,500 in the NGC population report.

Offered at $29,500

Rare 1926-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS62

dyann

The 1926-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a more than adequate mintage of 481,000 pieces, but the issue is much more elusive than the production total suggests. In fact, the 1926-D was considered one of the rarest issues of the series when collecting double eagles first became popular, in the 1940s. Most of the mintage was held in Mint or Treasury vaults to serve as currency reserves until the Gold Recall of 1933 took effect. The coins in government storage were all melted and stored as gold bars at the Fort Knox Bullion Depository afterward. Fortunately, some of the coins were used to settle accounts in foreign trade before the Recall. A number of specimens were repatriated from foreign holdings after World War II, increasing the small supply for collectors. The 1926-D remains a scarce issue, however, especially in high grade. Roger W. Burdette estimates the surviving population at about 600 examples in all grades.

1865-S (“Brother Jonathan”) Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS63

dyann

Listed at $16,800 in the CDN CPG and $20,000 in the NGC price guide.

Overloaded with heavy equipment plus more than 240 passengers and crew, the S.S. Brother Jonathan sank on July 30, 1865 off the coast of California near Crescent City, when it hit an uncharted rock in a fierce gale and heavy seas. A single lifeboat saved 11 crew members, plus five women and three children in California’s greatest maritime disaster. Also lost was a treasure of freshly minted gold coin intended as payments to government troops and Indian tribes.
Reportedly only 20% of the gold treasure was recovered in 1996 salvage operations, including 1,207 gold coins — primarily double eagles. More than 500 of those pieces were dated 1865-S, in conditions ranging from AU to MS66.

1872 Indian Cent PCGS MS65RD

dyann

The 1872 Indian cent claims a mintage of just over 4 million pieces. Many examples were struck from planchets made from re-melted coins of earlier years and the quality of these blanks was uneven. Many examples show streaks due to improper alloy mix and the issue is often seen with a weak strike. Richard Snow believes the 1872 is the most difficult issue of the series to find in high grade, outside of the famous 1877.

The PCGS population is 17 with 6 graded higher, 4 of the latter being MS65+ examples.

Listed at $16,200 in the CDN CPG and $16,000 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.

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.

Listed at $22,500 in the PCGS price guide.

1874-CC Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU58

Sirhc

The Carson City Mint struck a substantial mintage of 115,085 Liberty double eagles in 1874, but the survival rate for the issue is below average. In The Confident Carson City Coin Collector , Rusty Goe notes less than 2% of the reported mintage is extant today, and many of those coins were repatriated from foreign holdings in recent years. The 1874-CC is popular with branch mint type collectors, but it remains an elusive issue at the AU58 grade level, and Mint State specimens are rare. The one offered here is noticeably lighter in color and more lustrous than seen in our images.

Listed at $17,500 in the PCGS price guide.

Gem 1912 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

The 1912 Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a smallish mintage of 149,750 coins. Its certified population totals in MS62 and MS63 are relatively pedestrian — about a couple thousand each — but the issue becomes more challenging in MS64, scarce in MS65, and rare in MS66 or better. What also stands out about the 1912 is its status as the only Saint issue for the year. There are no branch mint coins to supplement the population of Philadelphia representatives. The one offered here displays clean surfaces and a delightful, satiny appearance.

The PCGS population is 42 with 18 graded higher – none finer than MS66.

Listed at $31,200 in the CDN CPG and $35,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Highly Pleasing Scarcity – 1861 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

The 1861 Liberty double eagle is one of the most popular type coins among No Motto issues, struck to the extent of more than 2.9 million coins. Prior to the discovery of the  S.S. Central America and its hold of thousands of 1857-S and 1856-S double eagles, the 1861 was recognized as the most plentiful Type One issue in high grade. Nonetheless, near-Gem pieces such as this one, are conditionally scarce, and finer examples are rare.

Contrary to how the coin appears in pour images, it’s uniform in color and of the lighter yellow-gold color that shows. The PCGS population is 13 with 8 graded higher.

Listed at $44,400 in the CDN CPG and $50,000 in the PCGS price guide.
