1929 Indian Half Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Rare Unc. Key Date

No half eagles were struck between 1916 and 1929, but the Philadelphia Mint produced a total of 662,000 coins in the later year. Unfortunately, the effects of the Great Depression were beginning to be felt and there was little need for the coins in the shrinking economy. Most of the mintage was held in government storage and later destroyed after 1933. No half eagles were struck in later years and the 1929 is a key date in the series today. Although our reverse image makes that side of the coin appear to be dark, you’re seeing the effect of the angle and lighting – the true color is actually quite similar to that of the obverse. Listed at $46,500 in the NGC price guide.

1810 Capped Bust Half Eagle PCGS MS63

Sirhc

Satiny, Choice Unc.

This is the Large Date, Large 5 combination, which, along with the Small Date, Tall 5, is the most frequently seen of the four Guide Book varieties known for the year. It is also part of a short-lived, but very tough series. This particular example is pleasing, overall, and would make a fine addition to a gold type set. Listed at $26,000, $23,500 and $30,000 in the CDN CPG, the PCGS price guide and Trends, respectively.

1879-S Liberty Double Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Rare Unc. S-Mint $20 Lib

For all practical purposes, MS62 is the optimal collectible grade for this San Francisco date. While all Mint State coins are scarce, the value increases dramatically above the MS62 level. By way of example, to our knowledge, the last MS63 – a PCGS example – to have been auctioned brought $29,375 more than three years ago. None have been graded higher by NGC. Listed at $15,600 in the CDN CPG, $14,600 in the NGC price guide and $16,500 in Trends.

1854 Small Date $20 NGC AU-58 Mint Error Obverse Strike Through

Sirhc

Twenty Dollar gold pieces have long been popular with collectors with Type 1 pieces such as the one being presented today the most sought after. On top of this coin being in impressive AU-58 condition, it is a mint error. Of all metal types, gold coins are the hardest to locate with errors. The one day has a strike through meaning the coin was minted with a foreign substance interfering with the minting process.

1921-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Challenging, Nearly White

At 208,000 pieces, the mintage of the 1921-D Walking Liberty half dollar is the lowest in the series. This issue is also the second-rarest date in the series in high grade Uncirculated, with only the 1921-S being seen less often. The popularity of the Walking Liberty half dollar series is due to a combination of the attractive design as well as the relative availability of every issue therein. That said, the key dates of 1921 are only readily available in low circulated grades. Collectors seeking a complete set will encounter a roadblock with the 1921 issues, particularly those of the branch mints. Collecting Walkers by date and mintmark did not become widespread until the 1930s, by which time the number of Uncirculated ’21-D coins was scant. Listed at $16,300 in the CDN CPG, $18,500 in the PCGS price guide and $17,500 in Trends.

1924-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

This one is a toughie.

Despite its substantial mintage of more than three million pieces, the 1924-D double eagle has always been an elusive issue. Most of the coins were held in Mint vaults or Federal Reserve Banks until the Gold Recall of 1933, and subsequently melted into gold bars for storage at Fort Knox. Comparatively few reached circulation in this country and the issue was believed to be quite rare in the 1940s. Fortunately, some of the exported coins were returned to the U.S., beginning about 1950, and the supply has been considerably augmented since then. The 1924-D is still scarce in MS64 condition, and very rare in higher grades. Only twelve have been graded 65 or higher by PCGS. Listed at $11,600 in the CDN CPG, $11,000 in the PCGS price guide and $12,500 in Trends.

1893-CC Morgan Dollar PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Virtually Color-Free

The 1893-CC dollar is an issue that is hard for collectors to resist since it has so much going for it. It is the final year of issue for the Carson City mint, it has a relatively low mintage of 677,000 pieces, and better-grade Uncirculated pieces are a semi-key issue in the Morgan series. Two problems are widely known by collectors for this issue, weakness of strike and pervasive bag-marks. This particular coin is fully struck in the centers, unlike many Mint State survivors. Listed at $15,700 in the CDN CPG and $15,000 in both the PCGS price guide and Trends.

1860-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS61

Sirhc

Rare Mint State

 The 1860-S Type One Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 544,950 pieces, a substantial production total in absolute terms, but slightly smaller than average for a San Francisco issue from this period. The coins were released into the channels of commerce, where they circulated heavily for many years, suffering the usual wear and attrition along the way. Few high-quality examples were saved by contemporary numismatists and the issue is rare in Mint State grades today. The current PCGS population is 16 with 12 higher. This particular example is a bit lighter and brighter than seen on our images. Listed at $16,300 in the CDN CPG and $12,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1866 Three Dollar Gold Piece PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Rare, Flashy Near-Gem

Struck shortly after the close of the Civil War, the 1866 three dollar gold piece was not saved in any meaningful quantity by collectors, and thus its low 4,000-coin mintage had more of an effect on high-grade availability than can be said of the mintages of later issues in the series. Mint State survivors are scarce across the board, but are notably rare above the MS62 level. The example offered here is highly lustrous and flashy, with a lovely overall appearance. The PCGS population is only 7 with 5 higher and if you were even able to locate an MS65 example, it would likely be more than double the price of this coin.  Listed at $16,300 in the CDN CPG, $13,000 in the PCGS price guide and $17,500 in Trends.
