(1907) Arabic Date $20 Judd-1919 Rarity 8. Listed previously as Judd-1779A struck in Brass with the edge showing stars and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Unusual item. NGC and PCGS will not slab this piece. Estimated Value $1,000-UP.

1854 Judd-159a High Rarity 6 Copper Electrotype. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. Similar in overall appearance to the Heritage FUN 2009 specimen graded MS65BN by NGC, though a different coin. The obverse of this unusual piece is a die made by reducing an 1854 silver dollar, but in such a way that many details are blurry, especially at the date. The reverse is a new die with a heavy, open wreath of oak leaves and acorns tied with a ribbon and bow at bottom, 1 CENT in the center. Many different alloys were recorded, but the Judd-159A, Pollock-186 is called a copper electrotype. Pollock notes that most examples offered over the years are electrotypes, said to have been produced at the Mint in such a way that they "have a clear ring." The devices show the circular lines from the reducing lathe. Yet the fields show a surprising amount of pleasing steel-brown to reddish brown luster while the surfaces overall are problem-free. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 11654) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.

1907 $20 Brass Trial Piece J-1919 Rarity 8. Lettered Edge. Used to be listed in prior Judd books as J-1779A. An interesting item. Estimated Value $1,000-UP.

1866 Pattern Dollar Copper Reeded Edge J-541 Pollock-606 Low Rarity 6. Obverse scratched. Regular dies with motto IN GOD WE TRUST struck on a copper planchet. Very scarce. Estimated Value $600 - 700.

1867 Pattern Three Cents. Copper, plain edge. PCGS graded Proof 62 Brown PQ. Beautiful blue toning. This uses the regular Proof dies of 1867 but is struck on a copper planchet whose surface over the intervening years has toned a striking blue color! Rarely offered. Pop 1; 1 finer in 64BN (PCGS # 60770) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.

1868 Pattern Five Cents. Nickel, Plain Edge. Judd-633 Pollock-704 Rarity 4. PCGS graded Proof 63. This scarce variety incorporates Longacre's attractive head of Liberty similar to the one used on the Three-cent Nickels but with more ornamentation on it, including beads along the coronet's edge, a large star implanted on it above the hairline, and a fancy large Roman V with IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll above. Filling the open space is a small iron cross as well, all a part of the designer's artistic merit and sense of balance to his composition (PCGS # 60851) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,450.

1849 Open Wreath and 1854 Type I Gold Dollars. Our grade for both coins is Sharpness of AU and cleaned . Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $200 - 220.

1849 $1 Gold Liberty. Open wreath. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ CAC Approved. Light gold toning, a lustrous coin. This smallest denomination United States gold coin was first minted in 1849. This design featured a Liberty head on the obverse while the reverse carried the denomination within a wreath. The concept of a gold dollar coin dates to 1836 when patterns were issued. Engraver James Barton Longacre prepared the designs and made minor alterations throughout the year. This example is from the second design issued, with a noticeably small Liberty Head and an Open Wreath. Larger heads and closed wreaths are found on later issues of 1849 (PCGS # 7502) . Estimated Value $650 - 700.

1849 $1 Gold Liberty. Closed wreath. PCGS graded MS-62 CAC Approved. Well struck with a hint of gold tone over the frosty surface. P-mint dates, 1849-54 tend to be more sharply made than the branch mints. 1849 is most popular for being the first year (PCGS # 7503) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1851 $1 Gold Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. Light hint of tone and frosty, with well struck devices, stars, wreath. Several measures more attractive than an average BU specimen (PCGS # 7513) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,150.

1851 $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62 CAC Approved. A nice untoned coin with excellent detail in the hair and Liberty's coronet on which LIBERTY is spelled out in tiny letters (PCGS # 7513) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1851 $1 Gold Liberty. Improperly cleaned. Some minor hairlines (PCGS # 7513) . Estimated Value $120 - 130.

1852 $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Untoned and well struck. A few obverse marks (PCGS # 7517) . Estimated Value $450 - 475.

1852. ICG graded AU-53. Frosty and untoned. Estimated Value $190 - 200.

1852-O $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. Only 275 examples are estimated to have survived. Pop 29; 87 finer (PCGS # 7520) . Estimated Value $200 - 210.

1853 $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ CAC Approved. Well struck with lovely golden toning. The color is a rich blend of orange-gold and honey-gold shades. Desirable with this controlled strike and dancing luster (PCGS # 7521) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.

1853 $1 Gold Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Well struck, the fields and devices embued with mint luster, and everywhere detail aplenty (PCGS # 7521) . Estimated Value $700 - 750.

1853 $1 Gold Liberty. NGC graded MS-62 CAC Approved. Well struck lustrous example with light golden toning (PCGS # 7521) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1853 $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ CAC Approved. Well struck and untoned and another readily affordable date with the Type 1 design (1849-54) (PCGS # 7521) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1853 $1 Gold Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Lightly toned and well struck (PCGS # 7521) . Estimated Value $450 - 475.

1853 $1 Gold Liberty. Improperly cleaned. A nice well struck coin (PCGS # 7521) . Estimated Value $120 - 130.

1853-C $1 Gold Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. A fully lustrorus untoned example. Only 11,515 minted. The strike on both sides of this handsome little coin is more characteristic of the P-mint issue than that usually seen weaker Mint State 1853-C specimens offered for sale. There is excellent detail on the obverse at Liberty's coronet, brow and hair bun while on the reverse the date and the second L in DOLLAR are typically weak. There are also a few isolated areas of striking incompleteness around the borders. That said, we stress that this coin is truly above par for the issue in the realm of surface preservation. The fields are satin-like to frosty--a feature that suggests careful handling since the day it reached its first owner, be he tinker, tailor, soldier, or banker. A mild unevenness in the planchet occurs at the 85 of the date which might be used as a pedigree marker. Pop 11; 18 finer. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. Provenance: The Dandelion Collection; earlier from our Sale 37, lot 1667.

1853-O $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Light golden toning. Scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart, the issue from New Orleans comprised a mint total of only 290,000 pieces, versus over 4 million for the P-mint. Pop 61; 35 finer (PCGS # 7524) . Estimated Value $850 - 900.

1853-O $1 Gold Liberty. Improperly cleaned. A nice bold strike with some hairlines (PCGS # 7524) . Estimated Value $150 - 160.

1854-D $1 Gold Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Only 2,935 minted. Mostly untoned. The low mintage makes this date famous. This beautiful rarity sums up nicely the experience of the sale of which it is a part. The coin exhibits original satin luster on a well presented and attractive planchet with only a trace of wear on the high points of Liberty?s hair. It is the kind of coin that collectors expect to find in the grade. Elusive as a date, elusive in no uncertain terms. Even more is this true in high grades. Next, the strike. The strike is crisp in many areas, yet better than average in all others, so attention should be paid by prospective bidders. Some lack of detail may be noted at the central hair on Liberty, just below the word LIBERTY (but not on the stars). When describing the reverse, we see the usual disparity on the denticles as well as marginal weakness on the LL of DOLLAR and central part of the date. Some bidders might edge away from bidding when presented with an 1854-D gold dollar. After all, this is one of the rarest D-mint dates in the series struck at all the historic Dahlonega branch mint. Only the P-mint 1854 is at all common. However, as the population figure suggests, the coin is rather rare and deserves twice the honor because it is so fresh and lustrous looking: Pop 24; 23 finer (PCGS # 7526) . Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.

1851 $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded All AU-58. Lot of 3 coins (PCGS # 7513) . Estimated Value $600 - 625.

1857 $1 Gold Indian. EF-45. Estimated Value $190 - 200.

1859-D. SEGS graded MS-62. Only 4,952 pieces struck. Our grade is Sharpness of Mint State cleaned . Generally well struck for an issue that is often weak in areas. There is plenty of luster present covering both surfaces. Some light die clash marks are a hallmark of this (and other) Dahlonega Mint gold dollars. Rare in this grade. Estimated Value $4,200 - 4,400.

1870 $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded AU-58 PQ. A nice coin with semi-reflective surfaces. Only 6,300 minted (PCGS # 7569) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1871 $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Housed in an OGH. Only 3,900 struck. Lovely golden toning with prooflike surfaces. Pop 20; 42 finer at PCGS (PCGS # 7571) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.

1873 Open 3. ICG graded MS-62. Mostly untoned. The Philadelphia Mint continued to strike gold coins in 1862-79 even though the banks (as well as the Treasury Department) refused to pay them out at "par" for paper money. To acquire gold coins in those years by tendering paper dollars or by cashing a check, one had to pay a premium of anywhere from 4 to 8 percent or higher, thus $108 in paper would buy $100 face value in gold coins. The market didn't stabilize (return to par) until January 1, 1879. Estimated Value $400 - 440.

1874 $1 Gold Indian. Improperly cleaned (PCGS # 7575) . Estimated Value $130 - 140.

1885 $1 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ CAC Approved. Nice prooflike surfaces that ripple with golden color. A choice, fresh-appearing specimen. Only 11,156 struck (PCGS # 7586) . Estimated Value $525 - 550.

1889 $1 Gold Indian. NGC graded MS-66. Well struck and untoned. A radiant example, fully struck with gold color that rises and falls in an almost rhythmic display (PCGS # 7590) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1853 and 1862. Our grade is VF20 and cleaned . Estimated Value $200 - 225.

A Lot Of U.S. $1 Gold Coins. Dates and grades include: 1855 XF cleaned, 1883 XF cleaned, and 1889 XF cleaned . Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $300 - 325.

1834 $2.50 Classic Head. PCGS graded AU-50. Light golden toning with slightly reflective surfaces. The year 1834 was a pivotal one for U.S. gold coins in particular. The melt value of a quarter eagle produced in the old-tenor Capped Bust style had risen to $2.66; the gold content was reduced, with this Classic Head, No Motto design style signifying the change (PCGS # 7692) . Estimated Value $900 - 950.

1835 $2.50 Classic Head. NGC graded MS-61. As usual, a trifle soft in the centeres. Brilliant and untoned. To permit gold coins to circulate at par -- which had not happened since 1815 -- Congress reduced the authorized weight of the various denominations through the Act of June 28, 1834. On August 2, 1834, the new standard went into effect with these William Kneass-designed pieces. To readily differentiate the new coins from the old, the design was changed. Chief Engraver Kneass created what is called the Classic Head today. The head of Liberty faces left, her hair secured by a band inscribed LIBERTY, stars circling her head, and with the date below. The reverse depicts an eagle with a shield on its breast, perched on an olive branch and holding three arrows. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and 2 1/2 D. surrounds. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, used on quarter eagles since 1796, was omitted (PCGS # 7693) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200.

1839-C $2.50 Classic Head. PCGS graded MS-61. Nice golden toning. Only 18,140 struck. Mintmark on obverse above the date. Date repunched at 39. Light yellow gold still evident in the protected areas merging into warm orange shades of "old gold" toning on the topmost design and throughout much of the field, very pretty, and with indications of extra careful handling and preservation over the years. Probably the net result of loving ownership by its former admirers. Sharply struck with a wealth of detail, this scarce issue has extraordinary importance as the first quarter eagle from the newly opened Charlotte Mint. Three die varieties are described below, this example being variety C. Rather than being an overdate, this is better described as a repunched date, in our opinion. On the present piece a tiny line or crack connects the left tip of the shield to the eagle's beak, and there are other die cracks noted as well. Another crack connects the obverse rim through star 9 and hair to TY then along the tops of those letters to the hair curl below. Identification of three die varieties: A: Mintmark over left half of digit 3. Tip of branch stem over right upright of D. Usually cracked, neck to right wing. B: Mintmark over left half of digit 3. Tip of branch stem over left edge of D. Usually cracked through E of STATES. C: Mintmark over space between 83. Usually cracked, left shield tip to beak. Pop 1; 2 finer in 62 (PCGS # 7699) . Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000.

1843-C $2.50 Liberty. Large date, plain 4. NGC graded EF-45. "C" over "C" mintmark. Only 23,076 struck. Clean, virtually mark-free surfaces with moderate strike softness at centers. The reverse shows less detail than the obverse on even the best grade pieces, so grading is typically done from the obverse (PCGS # 7728) . Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.

1843-O $2.50 Liberty. Small date, crosslet 4. PCGS graded AU-55 (PCGS # 7731) . Estimated Value $400 - 450.

1846. SEGS graded MS-61. Only 21,598 struck. Our grade is Sharpness of Mint State with some marks. Lustrous for such an early Liberty Quarter Eagle. Mint production would rise sharply after the discoveries of the California gold fields beginning in 1849-51. But many dates in the 1840s, like this 1846 Philadelphia Mint are very scarce. Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.

1849-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A nice untoned example. Only 10,220 struck. The 1849-C is one of the scarcer dates of the late 1840s quarter eagles from this mint. There were slightly over ten thousand pieces struck, of which 125-150 are believed to exist today. Only a few dozen pieces are known in AU, and just four or five properly graded Uncirculated pieces are believed extant, the highest graded of which is MS62. The current NGC population might be inflated somewhat by resubmissions. This piece shows typical Charlotte Mint detail for the year, with some weakness on the forehead curls; the reverse is sharp overall, with minor weakness on the legs and claws. The surfaces are lustrous and show several light ticks and a few faint hairlines (not from cleaning). Both sides are light golden in color with everything pleasing for the grade. An example with better eye appeal than usually seen on this underrated date. Pop 18; 8 finer, 3 in 60, 4 in 61, 1 in 65 (PCGS # 7753) . Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.

1851-O. AU-55. Consigned too late for 3rd party grading. Nice light golden toning. Estimated Value $650 - 700.

1852-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC Unc Details, whizzed. Rare low mintage of only 4,078 (PCGS # 7765) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,150.

1853 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Very close to Mint State (PCGS # 7767) . Estimated Value $300 - 325.

1854-O $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Untoned; luster (PCGS # 7772) . Estimated Value $450 - 500.

1856 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. A nice frosty coin. Has a few light striations sometimes called "roller lines" through the brow and hair. Flattering mint frost that pulsates with reddish-gold to bright color. Practically fully struck, with just a suggestion of weakness at the eagle?s left leg and both claws. Pop 39; 34 finer (PCGS # 7777) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.

1857-S $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Lightly toned. Only 69,200 struck of this scarce early San Francisco Mint date quarter eagle. Lustrous (PCGS # 7785) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,050.

1858-C $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. Lovely golden-orange colors. Only 9,056 minted of which merely 225 examples are estimated to have survived. As years go on and such high-grade coins as this AU58 1858-C quarter eagle become less plentiful, as certain pieces meet varying fates through loss, handling, etc., we feel certain these will be rarer than the population figures suggest today. All of this noted, on an absolute basis the 1858-C at this level is a significantly scarce issue, a numismatic treasure, another find for the specialist. Date logotype very deeply punched into the die, slightly closer to the dentils than to the neck truncation, and somewhat to the left. Reverse with upper right of C mintmark embedded in arrow feather. Some die striations on the reverse indicate that this was probably an early impression, a thought amplified by a lack of clash marks (which tend to be common on branch mint coins of this era). Pop 9; 28 finer: 2 in 60, 7 in 61, 14 in 62, 5 in 63 (PCGS # 7787) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.

1861 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64 CAC Approved. New reverse. Bold strike with reflective fields. Tremendous detail from a very positive strike, which collectors like better to see than wishy-washy detail; furthermore, the surfaces show sharp golden hues. The mint luster rolls around both sides with a pleasing reflective sheen, and none of the features reveal any bothersome distractions. Possibly this piece was one of the earliest from new dies, judging by the prooflike tendencies. Pop 80; 35 finer (PCGS # 7794) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1862 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. Mintage of 98,508 after a burst of panicked bullion depositors caused the prior year's coinage to spike to almost one and one-third million pieces and the outbreak of the Civil War (1861-65). Most gold coins were hoarded in the Eastern region of the country thereafter. Many were exported. Mintage figures fell off to low levels except for the main export coin, the double eagle. If a merchant or exporter wished to acquire gold coins from a bank or from the U.S. Treasury in the years 1862-79, he often had to pay a stiff premium over face value. At one point in 1864 at the depths of the crisis, it took $264 in greenbacks to purchase $100 face in gold coins (PCGS # 7796) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,550.

1879 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58 PQ CAC Approved. Only 1,100 examples are estimated to have survived (PCGS # 7830) . Estimated Value $300 - 325.

1890 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ CAC Approved. Only 8,720 minted. Light gold toning with reflective fields. Pop 29; 28 finer, 24 in 64, 3 in 65, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 7842) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.

1891 DDR FS-801. PCGS graded MS-64. Doubled reverse die with doubling most obvious on OF AMERICA per Breen-6310. A very choice, near-gem example. Pop 1; The Finest of 8 graded at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 145709) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1894 $2.50 Liberty. Sharpness of AU. Polished surfaces resembling a proof. Estimated Value $200 - 225.

1898 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ CAC Approved. Well struck and frosty. Only 24,000 minted (PCGS # 7850) . Estimated Value $750 - 800.

1903. Our grade is Sharpness of Mint State. The surfaces have been smoothed. Estimated Value $250 - 275.

1904 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. Another choice Liberty $2.50 gold piece. There were few calls for this denomination by bullion depositors, hence the slim mintage figures even in 1900-07, the most prolific dates. Compare the Red Book figures to those of double eagles struck the same years (PCGS # 7856) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1904 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded Mint Error MS-62. Obverse struck thru. This is a category of error coins which spans a very large number of types and kinds. The name "struck-thru" has been given to any kind of coin which was struck through some foreign object or material which was between the die face and the blank being struck. Terms like clogged dies, filled dies, and other related names all refer to the same general classification of errors. In each instance, the coin will have some kind of a depressed area which isn't the intended design meant for that strike. That depressed area will be an erratically shaped indentation which may or may not be identifiable. Due to the nature of the error, no two such error coins will ever be exactly alike (PCGS # 7856) . Estimated Value $450 - 500.

1905 $2.50 Liberty (PCGS # 7857) . Estimated Value $275 - 300.

1906 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61 CAC Approved. Nicely toned (PCGS # 7858) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1907 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ CAC Approved. A hint of gold tone, plus bathed in frosted luster (PCGS # 7859) . Estimated Value $425 - 450.

1852, 1854, And 1854-O. Our grade is VF20. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $600 - 700.

A Lot Of U.S. Gold Coins. Consists of: $1 Gold Type 2; 1854 XF with scratch and $2½; 1913 AU with minor flaw. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $200 - 225.

A Pair Of U.S. Gold Coins. Consists of: $1 1860 NGC AU55 and $2½ 1861 PCGS AU53 OGH. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1908 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Mostly untoned, this is the first year of issue and lustrous (PCGS # 7939) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1909 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. Rich golden toning and well struck. Housed in an OGH. Devices are sharp in all areas, as struck, as desired by collectors, which the grading service has taken into consideration in assigning the grade, as also desired by collectors. 1909 is, as a rule, scarcer than some of the P-mint dates on either side, and is certainly much rarer in Gem MS65 than the 1925-29 issues. The satin-like gleam of golden-colored originality is safe and sound from most abrasions of measurable size. Pop 144; 18 finer, 2 in 65+, 16 in 66 (PCGS # 7940) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. Provenance: This is part of the #3 ranked PCGS Registry Set.

1909. ICG graded MS-63. Lightly toned. Estimated Value $800 - 850.

1911 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in an OGH. Pop 78; 5 finer, 4 in 65+, 1 in 66. Lovely even golden toning. A problem-free Gem with luster racing across the surface, vivid and exciting in appearance when one considers the "average" Mint State?s appearance. What's more, the fields acquit themselves nicely in terms of the fewness of marks. Further on point, a blunt impression is sometimes left by the recoil of the dies that struck this year's coinage; just the same, we can report that this ?11-P specimen, unlike the others, is outstanding in its detail and sharpness (PCGS # 7942) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. Provenance: This is part of the #3 ranked PCGS Registry Set.

1912 $2.50 Indian. NGC graded MS-63+ CAC Approved. Frosty and carefully preserved from the elements over the last 100 years (PCGS # 7944) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.

1914 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-65. Housed in an OGH. Nice even gold toning. In Mint State, the 1914 is typically available with a sharp strike. The present example does indeed please in this regard, with all devices nicely delineated from a clear powerful impression. The color is lovely orange-gold in shade and is free of individually identifiable distractions. Housed in an early green-insert PCGS holder. The 1914 ranks second or third in rarity after the 11-D among the 15 Indian Quarter Eagle deliveries both in an absolute sense and is virtually tied with the 1914-D at the MS65 grade level. It is an important issue that can be a real stumbling block to assembling a high-quality Registry Set. Pop 48; 3 finer, 2 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 7946) . And for a bit of trivia: If one were to take a Time Machine back to 1914 when this Quarter Eagle made its appearance, and to wander through the local department and grocery stores, these are the prices he would find: women?s skirt, $5 each; mens shirts, Madras-silk, $1 to $3.50 each; boy?s suit, Norfolk style, $1.90 each; beef roast, 15¢ to 22¢ a pound; eggs, 22¢ a dozen; Pillsbury?s Best flour, 72¢ for a 24.5lb bag (!); bicycle, $15.00; movies, 15¢ to 25¢ a ticket; Persian rug, $5.75 to $22.00 each. Estimated Value $30,000 - 33,000. Provenance: This is part of the #3 ranked PCGS Registry Set.

1914-D $2.50 Indian. NGC graded MS-64 CAC Approved. A frosty example. Choice from inside and out with luster extending across the key highest points of design! The satiny surfaces are afire with bright golden hues. Pop 1127; 40 finer, 39 in 65, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 7947) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 2,900.

1914-D $2.50 Indian. NGC graded MS-62. Lightly toned (PCGS # 7947) . Estimated Value $500 - 550.

1915 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-65. Housed in an OGH. Light golden toning. Velvety to frost-laced fields almost stagger under the weight of its highly lustrous gold color. A hint of weakness at that is typically seen on the lower headdress feathers is missing on this much sharper struck specimen, with the key central areas strongly hit by the dies. A gem! Pop 106; 4 finer, 1 in 65+, 3 in 66 (PCGS # 7948) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. Provenance: This is part of the #3 ranked PCGS Registry Set.

1915 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ CAC Approved. Choice throughout. A nice golden luster shoots from this coin. Precision strike on every device (PCGS # 7948) . Estimated Value $725 - 750.

1925-D $2.50 Indian. NGC graded MS-62. A hint of light gold tone (PCGS # 7949) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1926 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 CAC Approved. Very frosty (PCGS # 7950) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1928 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ CAC Approved. Lightly toned and well struck. Impressively struck on the obverse feathers, the resounding gold tone resonates to the eye (PCGS # 7952) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1929 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ CAC Approved. A nice coin, one whose originality is evident in all areas: The deeply struck, matte-like surfaces are draped in a vibrant golden patina and show minimal abrasions. A sharp impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck this coin (PCGS # 7953) . Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,300.

1929 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. Mostly untoned and well struck for the issue. What would $2.50 buy back then? Here are some typical grocery store prices from 1929: Apples.22/3 lbs; Bacon, Fireside, sliced.45/lb; Bananas.25/dozen; Bread, Supreme.08/loaf; Butter, Louella.53/lb; Cantaloupe.19/2; Coffee, Maxwell House.49/lb tin; Lamb chops.39/lb (PCGS # 7953) . Estimated Value $725 - 750.

1929 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Very frosty. Final year of design. There would be no further Quarter Eagles made going into the Great Depression (1929-39) (PCGS # 7953) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1929 $2.50 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 CAC Approved. A nice frosty coin (PCGS # 7953) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1854 $3 Gold. NGC graded AU-55. A hint of light tone, luster around the devices. Popular first year of issue. This is the only year issued with DOLLARS in small letters (PCGS # 7969) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,050.

1854-O $3 Gold. NGC graded AU-58. Only 24,000 struck. The only "O" mint $3 Gold coin. The $3 gold piece was authorized by the Act of February 21, 1853, a very important piece of legislation from a numismatic viewpoint, an act which also affected the silver coinage, namely the reduction in weight of the half dime, dime, quarter, and half dollar, and the addition of arrows alongside the date to indicate the new standard. Whether or not the $3 denomination was actually necessary or worthwhile has been a matter of debate among numismatists for well over a century. At the time of its introduction, 1854, the $3 had as a close companion?the long established $2.50 quarter eagle. The first year?s mintage was struck at three mints, the only time this occurs: Philadelphia (no mintmark), New Orleans ("O") and Dahlonega, Georgia ("D"). Lustrous and very sharply struck with attractive light golden color. Complete though not exactly letters in the obverse legend as well as in the denomination; the date is less sharply impressed into the die also than on later issues. The denticles on both sides are very well made with considerable separation between them. This may be one of the earlier strikes before considerable die lapping erased or "broke" some of the devices. The planchet is free of irregularities while the surfaces are choice to very choice in line with the high grade placement at the ?58? level. Although not as rare a date as the 1854-D, the 1854-O is generally available only in much lower circulated grades from About Uncirculated such as Very Fine or (on occasion) Extremely Fine. This handsome specimen is well above average in terms of both its technical quality and its overall eye appeal. Pop 107; 18 finer (PCGS # 7971) . Historic Note: The new $3 denomination was designed by James B. Longacre, who became chief engraver at the Mint in 1844, after the death of Christian Gobrecht. The obverse features the head of an Indian princess, facing left, wearing a feathered headdress upon which is a band inscribed LIBERTY. The inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounds. The same motif was later used on the Type III gold dollar 1856-1889. The reverse displays one of two "agricultural wreaths" by Longacre enclosing 3 DOLLARS and the date. This particular version was later used on the Flying Eagle cent reverses of 1856-1858. As is demonstrated, Longacre liked to replicate his own work. The $3 design was continued without major change from beginning to the end, except that issues of the year 1854 alone have the word DOLLARS in smaller letters than do the pieces from 1855 to 1889. Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.

1854-O $3 Gold. NGC graded EF-40. Housed in an Old Holder. Only 24,000 struck. Mostly untoned. Lightly struck in areas including some shallow (but still complete) denticles on either side. Suggestions have been made that the dies clashed and the mint relapped them. In the process, some of the details were effaced. Normal light circulation marks for EF40 quality (PCGS # 7971) . Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300.

1856 $3 Gold. PCGS graded AU-55. Well struck. Only 26,010 pieces minted. After a fast start where the mintage rose to well over 100,000 pieces in 1854, coinage for this ignored denomination soon dropped off to nominal levels. There it remained until the end of the series in 1889. A lustrous example (PCGS # 7974) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600.

1856 $3 Gold. PCGS graded EF-45. Nice golden toning. Only 26,010 struck. Scarce. The common dates in the series are 1854, 1874, and 1878. The rest have lower (often much lower) mintage (PCGS # 7974) . Estimated Value $900 - 950.

1859. Our grade is Sharpness of VF. Cleaned and some marks on both sides. Only 15,558 struck. Estimated Value $400 - 450.

1874 $3 Gold. PCGS graded AU-58. Intensely brilliant and untoned (PCGS # 7998) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.

1878 NGC graded AU Details Polished (PCGS # 8000) . Estimated Value $500 - 550.

1842-D $5 Liberty. Small date. Our grade is XF lightly cleaned. In 1842, the Dahlonega mint experimented with date and lettering size. This was part of a period of experimentation at every mint that lasted from 1838 to 1843. The reasons for the frequent, subtle changes on gold coins during this era were most probably related to issues of standardization of design and improvements in strike. The 1842-D Small Date is much more available than its Large Date counterpart (the exact opposite is true on the Charlotte half eagles dated 1842 where the 1842-C Small Date is the rarity) (PCGS # 8210) . Estimated Value $700 - 750.

1851 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. A hint of light gold tone. Pop 28; 55 finer (PCGS # 8246) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1852 $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55 CAC Approved. Only 750 examples are estimated to have survived. Lightly toned, lustrous (PCGS # 8250) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1852-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Boldly struck and needle sharp! Gorgeous greenish-golden luster adds to its appeal. A Premium Quality coin for the given grade. As has been observed before, Dahlonega Mint $5 gold pieces made in the years 1852 to 1856 have a changed appearance than those struck in the preceding years. Most are very weakly struck at the borders and have a distinctive beveled edge. The obverse of this handsome specimen has full detail on the hair below LIBERTY and on the curl below the ear. The stars are very sharp while the border is moderately so except from 5 to 9 o'clock. The reverse is very bold on the eagle and shield including full feet and talons. The denticles are weak from 9 to 10 o'clock but are sharp elsewhere. A decidedly superior specimen for the grade and one well worth stretching a little for to insure its place in your collection. Pop 2; 5 finer, 3 in 62, 2 in 63 (PCGS # 8252) . Estimated Value $9,000 - 9,500. Provenance: The Dandelion Collection.

1852-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45. Light golden toning. Clean surfaces with some residual luster; moderate weakness on the eagle as often seen. The 1852-D is among the more available Dahlonega half eagles. However, it is a much more elusive coin in top grades than such issues as the 1853-D and the 1854-D (PCGS # 8252) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1852-D $5 Liberty. Our grade is XF45 lightly cleaned . Some of the rim denticles are mashed down due to insufficient die pressure, although the central motifs are better detailed than average (PCGS # 8252) . Estimated Value $700 - 750.

1853-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Housed in an Old Holder. Only 65,571 struck. Lightly toned with some obverse marks. Soft, serene luster glints off the frosty surfaces of this attractively toned Quarter Eagle from the mint at Charlotte, North Carolina. A blend of shades can be seen on both sides. The strike is better than the usual somewhat spongy look of these on the reverse, though the design elements are not as crisp as would be found on a P-mint issue. Mintmark, while plainly visible, is weak.Pop 7; 19 finer (PCGS # 8254) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.

1853-D $5 Liberty. Large D. PCGS graded MS-61 CAC Approved. Delicately toned. Only 89,678 minted of which merely 350 examples are estimated to have survived. Well struck with appealing light golden-yellow toning. The 1853-D is the one of the more frequently seen Dahlonega half eagles, but fortunately is one that is available in Uncirculated as well and with enough regularity to establish dependable pricing. There may be as few pieces known in Uncirculated as 35 to 45 with most in the MS60 to MS62 comfort zone grade range for collectors. A properly graded Mint State 61 like this is particularly attractive and rare (note the census, which follows). About as fully struck as these are seen, with just outstanding detail in the coronet (with no weakness on the hair braid at Liberty's brow or the hair bun), and just as outstanding detail in the eagle's wings, neck and leg feathers. Vivid golden luster. In short, this is a desirable grade Dahlonega half eagle that is notable for being much better struck than usual, with excellent eye-appeal. Pop 7; 14 finer (PCGS # 8255) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.

1873-CC $5 Liberty. Only 7,416 minted of which merely 70 examples are estimated to have survived. Pop 2; a total of 68 coins graded at PCGS for this rare date (PCGS # 8331) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.

1877-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded EF-45. Toned. Only 8680 minted of which merely 135 examples are estimated to have survived. Appreciably better surfaces than usual for this date and mint, with smooth features, rims that are free of injury, and pleasing to the eye. The devices are wells truck with perhaps the only softness being noted at the eagle neck feathers. Pop 20; 36 finer: 11 in 50, 6 in 53, 13 in 55, 6 in 58 (PCGS # 8343) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.

1880 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Some minor stains on the reverse (PCGS # 8351) . Estimated Value $450 - 475.

1885-S and 1901. Our grade is XF45. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $600 - 625.

1890 AU55. Nicely toned. Only 4,240 struck. Consigned too late for 3rd party grading. Estimated Value $700 - 750.

1891-CC $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. Nicely toned (PCGS # 8378) . Estimated Value $600 - 650.

1892-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61 CAC Approved. A nice untoned example. Pop 82; 71 finer (PCGS # 8380) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.

1892-CC $5 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45 PQ. Lightly toned and choice for the grade (PCGS # 8380) . Estimated Value $500 - 525.

1893 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck and untoned. The otherwise pinkish gold color deepens to polychrome-gold shadings in select areas. Pop 183; 35 finer, 7 in 64+, 22 in 65, 5 in 66, 1 in 68 (PCGS # 8383) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.

1899 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64 CAC Approved. Frosty and well struck with choice surfaces throughout. The golden color glows. There are even faint pink accents around the devices (PCGS # 8398) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.

1900 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63+ CAC Approved. Reflective surfaces and a strike that reflects its choice MS63 grade determination. Much eye appeal (PCGS # 8400) . Estimated Value $650 - 700.

1903-S $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ CAC Approved. Very choice and a point undergraded (PCGS # 8408) . Estimated Value $450 - 500.

1904 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. Mostly untoned. A choice, frosty example. Only 392,000 minted (PCGS # 8409) . Estimated Value $550 - 600.

1908 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64+ PQ CAC Approved. Well struck and nicely toned. Another premium quality specimen whose visual attributes push it out in front of the competition (PCGS # 8418) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.

1908 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ CAC Approved. Lightly toned and well struck. A boldly original gold-surfaced coin whose high-end depth of detail in the strike complements the equally fresh mint luster. 1908 witnessed the introduction of the new Indian Head design after the long run of Liberty $5 gold pieces (1839-1908) (PCGS # 8418) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.

1908 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ CAC Approved. Lovely golden toning (PCGS # 8418) . Estimated Value $575 - 600.

A 36-piece lot of $5.00 Gold Liberties. Dates range from 1844 to 1900's. Most have been cleaned or used as jewelry. Lot of 36 coins. Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.

A Lot Of Damaged U.S. Gold Coins. Consists of: $2½; 1928 and $5; 1881, 1900, and 1908 Liberty. All have been polished or used as jewelry. Lot of 4 coins. Estimated Value $800 - 850.

1908 $5 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 CAC Approved. Lightly toned (PCGS # 8510) . Estimated Value $750 - 800.

1908-D $5 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63+ CAC Approved. Very sharp mint mark. Well struck and choice. When Bela Lyon Pratt's new Indian head motif was launched upon the American waters in 1908, the public was shocked (to put it mildly). Never before in American numismatics had a coin designer broken with tradition in such an overt way as did Pratt. For what Pratt did was to recess the design below the surface of the coin! Forget the fact that his Half Eagles and Quarter Eagles were far more aesthetically challenging than the long-running and tired-appearing Liberty heads they replaced. Unlike his predecessors, Pratt chose to honor a real American Indian for a change, not some made-up Greek goddess wearing an incongruous Indian headdress. And because of this, his design helped to propel American coin design into the World Class league (PCGS # 8511) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600.

1909-D $5 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. A nice frosty untoned example with sharp detail in the feathered war bonnet as well as full plumage on the eagle. A common date due to mint rolls having surfaced in years past, but 1909-D is also one of the best made in the series (PCGS # 8514) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500.

1909-D $5 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Nice toning (PCGS # 8514) . Estimated Value $625 - 650.

1911-S $5 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. Pleasing golden toning and a Premium Quality coin for the given grade. A pleasing choice coin that spares no compromises with its rich golden iridescence on both sides. Strike is much sharper than average for the S-mint issues, with clearly defined "S" mintmark by the arrow points and details aplenty in the eagle?s neck and upper wing feathers (two areas which tend to be weak on this design). Readily available in circulated grades due to elevated mintage, 1911-S seems to have escaped the notice of collectors. Few were saved in Mint condition at the time these were issue. Pop 189; 29 finer (PCGS # 8522) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.

1911-S $5 Indian. NGC graded AU-55. A lightly toned coin (PCGS # 8522) . Estimated Value $400 - 450.

1913 $5 Indian. NGC graded MS-61. Frosty and mostly untoned (PCGS # 8525) . Estimated Value $450 - 500.

1913 $5 Indian. PCGS graded AU-55. Lightly toned (PCGS # 8525) . Estimated Value $375 - 400.

1913-S $5 Indian. PCGS graded AU-50 (PCGS # 8526) . Estimated Value $400 - 425.

1915 $5 Indian. NGC graded AU-58 (PCGS # 8530) . Estimated Value $375 - 400.

A quartete of $5.00 Indians. Consists of: 1909-D, 1910-S, 1912 (2). Coins grade Fine to Very Fine. Lot of 4 coins. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,250.

1915 and 1916-S. PCGS graded AU-50 and XF-45 respectively. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $775 - 800.

1795. 13 leaves below eagle. . BD-1, Rarity 3+. NGC graded AU Details, obverse planchet flaw. A rather pleasing looking coin with mint caused minor planchet flaws in the left obverse field and some scattered minor marks about the rims here and there. Plenty of detail and all, overlaid with natural rose color gold toning. Popular First Year of the type and actually, our nation's first gold coin. Only 5,583 eagles struck. Under the terms of the Coinage Act of 1792, the obverses of all the coins, copper, silver, and gold, had to depict Liberty, then as now an allegorical female figure. The reverses of the silver and gold coins had to depict an eagle. With those requirements in force, and a requirement that certain inscriptions appear on all the coins, mint engraver Robert Scot set to work in 1795 on the eagle designs. The gold eagle obverse depicts a bust of Liberty facing right and wearing a soft cap (not the pileus or Liberty cap found on the Liberty cap half cent and cent, among other U.S. coins). Liberty's hair flows freely, down over her truncated shoulders. LIBERTY occupies the under border above and to the right of the portrait, with stars arranged along the back of her head and from the Y in LIBERTY to the tip of the bust. The number of stars and their arrangement and exact positioning of LIBERTY vary from year to year. The first reverse, that of 1795-97, depicts the mandatory eagle, which some believe Scot copied from a sketch or engraving of a first century A.D. onyx cameo held in a museum in Vienna. The eagle holds a small wreath aloft in its beak and a palm branch in its talons. This is the most often seen variety having 13 leaves in the palm branch. The eagle's wings are outstretched. The inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircles the design (PCGS # 8551) . Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.

1842-O $10 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-40. Toned. In an OGH. A few contact marks; lustrous with natural old-gold patina. Low mintage of only 27,400 of which merely 212 examples are estimated to have survived. Pop 18; 71 finer. (PCGS # 8587) . Estimated Value $900 - 950.

1845 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45. Some luster visible (PCGS # 8592) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.

1847-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded Mint Error EF-45. Rotated Dies (PCGS # 8598) . Estimated Value $900 - 1,000.

1850. Fine-12. Small date. Estimated Value $700 - 725.

1851-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Lightly toned with some luster still visible. The No Motto series from 1838-66 is considered to be one of the most challenging to acquire in choicer grades, meaning those above "average" VF or EF condition. This is a well-placed AU55 that should attract some bidding interest (PCGS # 8607) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000.

1851-O $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53. Lovely golden toning. Minor flaw at 3:00 on the obverse near the star. Not affecting the grade (PCGS # 8607) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.

1851-O $10 Liberty. Sharpness of AU-50. Cleaned at one time. A scarce coin in such high grade. Estimated Value $800 - 850.

1853 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Housed in an Old Holder. Lightly toned. An affordable P-mint date representing the No Motto period from 1838-66 (PCGS # 8610) . Estimated Value $900 - 950.

1858-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Lightly toned with luster still visible. Only 20,000 struck. It has been a few years since we offered an 1858-O ten that was comparable in grade to this attractive AU58. While once regarded as rare in any condition, the discovery of a small hoard of 15-30 pieces in Jackson, Tennessee in 1985 changed the landscape of the Condition Census for this issue. Some of these hoard pieces were even Mint State, but were considered only average quality Uncs. This is a wonderful lightly circulated example that has a few minor marks in the fields including a modest one by Liberty?s nose, while on each side we note luster intermixed within the devices. The central details are sharply impressed with the only area of weakness being on the peripheral stars. Pop 46; 5 finer (PCGS # 8626) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 2,900.

1858-S $10 Liberty. PCGS graded VF-35. Only 11,800 struck. Light hint of gold tone. The 1858-S Liberty eagle is rare enough that it is, in fact, often compared to the much better known P-mint issue from this year. In 1980, David Akers rated the '58-S in the top 10% of the entire series in terms of rarity, according to frequency of auction appearances. The surfaces on this piece display natural mellow gold color, with faint orangish accents. Well struck and only slightly abraded, there are bits of mint frost in the protected areas on each side (PCGS # 8627) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600.

1870. Sharpness of AU cleaned. Some light marks on both sides. Only 3,990 struck of this important P-mint rarity. Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,550.

1874-CC $10 Liberty. Only 16,767 struck. Locating an 1874-CC twenty dollar with good eye appeal is difficult: Any example which shows minimal marks, good luster and no signs of having been cleaned is greatly prized by collectors and invariably trades for a strong premium. This should prove a great value to the collector looking for an affordable coin (PCGS # 8670) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.

1879 $10 Liberty. VF-30. Toned. Estimated Value $700 - 725.

1879-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Nice original antique toning. Strikingly brilliant throughout with only modest abrasions present, none to sidetrack your enjoyment of the smooth surface and bold relief. And unlike many gold Eagles in the 1870s which are not quite fully struck, this marvel of precision minting shows all regions crisply detailed including the centers. The U.S. Mint was reopened to the free mintage of gold after the hiatus of the Civil War and Reconstruction, on January 2, 1879. In celebrating the event General James A. Garfield (later President) stated in an address delivered in Chicago: "We shall hear echoes of the old conflict, such as the ?barbarism and cowardice of gold and silver? and the ?virtues of fiat money?. The theories which gave them birth will linger among us like belated ghosts, but soon will find rest in the political grave of dead issues." Garfield warned that the ?periodic craze? of fiat paper money might sweep over the country from time to time. Pop 3; none finer. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.

1881-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Nice golden toning. Lovely frosty luster covers both sides of this smartly struck, sharp-detailed specimen. Relatively common in baggy BU, 1881-S becomes quite scarce in choice grades, as per the population figures. Pop 36; 1 in 64 (PCGS # 8694) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600.

1882 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Light hint of gold tone (PCGS # 8695) . Estimated Value $850 - 875.

1883 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Frosty with light toning. Pop 98; 5 finer in 64 (PCGS # 8699) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1883-S AU55. Only 38,000 struck and a lustrous representative. Estimated Value $800 - 850.

1885-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. Tied with one other for top honors in the NGC census! Nicely toned with hues of yellow gold and pale apricot pink in the frosty luster. Broadly and well struck on the legends and main devices, which is always propitious, and with bold detail at the centers. Pop 2; none finer (PCGS # 8707) . Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.

1888-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Nice golden toning. Not much more expensive than a common date like 1904 or 1904-S yet notice the low census: Pop 74; 6 finer in 64 (PCGS # 8714) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600.

1889-S $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ. V8716. Bright and intensely lustrous thus our Premium Quality designation. Only a few light luster grazes in the field by the neck and on Liberty's chin. Frosty throughout and beaming bright gold! The first of this variety graded by PCGS (PCGS # 8716) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800.

1891-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Lovely golden toning with slightly reflective surfaces (PCGS # 8720) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.

1891-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. Only 3,333 examples are estimated to have survived. Light golden toning (PCGS # 8720) . Estimated Value $850 - 900.

1892 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Well struck and frosty (PCGS # 8721) . Estimated Value $800 - 850.

1892 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Lightly toned, a lustrous coin (PCGS # 8721) . Estimated Value $750 - 775.

1892-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Mostly frosty and untoned. Lustrous with scattered bagmarks. With 28,688 minted in all, it stands to reason the census would be low. Only Pop 164; none finer (PCGS # 8723) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1895 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. Intensely lustrous. Bright with tawny-gold color, both sides exhibit minimal blemishes. A generous amount of crisp detail for the type, including those areas with the usual weak metal flows into the deepest channels of the dies such as stars. Everything here including the centers, bold. Pop 183; 2 in 65, 1 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 8732) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.

1900. ICG graded MS-61. Well struck and lightly toned. Estimated Value $700 - 725.

1907-D. VF-25. Cleaned. Estimated Value $600 - 650.

1907-D $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. Toned. In an old green label holder. Denver struck Liberty $20 gold pieces in 1906 and 1907 only (PCGS # 8764) . Estimated Value $700 - 725.

1907-S $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61 CAC Approved. A hint of gold tone. Scarce date in high grades. Pop 31; 71 finer (PCGS # 8765) . Estimated Value $850 - 900.

A lot of 16 $10.00 Liberty Gold Coins. Dates range from 1879 to 1900's. Most have been cleaned or worn as jewelry. Lot of 16 coins. Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.

A Partial Collection Of U.S. Type Gold Coins In A Plastic Holder. Consists of: $1 Gold; 1851-O, 1855, and 1874, $2½ Gold; 1853 and 1928, $5 Gold; 1881, and $10 Gold; 1911. Grades range from VG to XF . Lot of 7 coins. Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,350.

1907 $10 Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-63. Lovely golden toning. In an old PCGS green holder. Mint Engraver Charles Barber modified the Saint-Gaudens design, providing much shallower relief and modified elements. These modifications were intended to facilitate striking and use in commerce, although some have suggested they were directly in response to Barber's jealousy of Saint-Gaudens. The motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, was not included, due to personal objections of President Roosevelt (PCGS # 8852) . Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500.

1908 $10 Indian. With motto. NGC graded MS-63 PQ. Well struck and lightly toned (PCGS # 8859) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.

1910 $10 Indian. Cleaned. Our grade is MS60. nicely toned (PCGS # 8865) . Estimated Value $725 - 775.

1910-D $10 Indian. Both VF-25. A pair of "raw" coins. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,450.

1910-D $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ. Well struck with rich golden toning. A lustrous, choice coin (PCGS # 8866) . Estimated Value $1,050 - 1,100.

1913 $10 Indians. Our grade is Sharpness of XF. One piece is cleaned and the other is polished. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,250.

A Lot Of U.S. Gold Coins. Consists of: $5; 1883 XF and $10; 1897-S XF cleaned and 1932 XF cleaned . Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $1,450 - 1,500.

A Pair Of U.S. Gold Coins. Consists of: $1 Gold; 1849 Sharpness of AU obverse scratches and $20 Gold; 1908-D No Motto Sharpness of VF polished . Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,250.

1851 $20 Liberty. NGC graded EF-45. Lightly toned. Second year of issue, the Type 1 pieces span the years from 1850 to 1866 (PCGS # 8904) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1851-O $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. Mostly untoned with reflective fields on both sides. An especially choice specimen. Indeed, this coin is endowed with luster that almost flies off the surface. Subtle hints of reflective surface as noted and ever so light toning bring out the expansiveness of the strike while it enhances the unexpectedly beautiful eye appeal of this early O-mint Double Eagle. Pop 32; 22 finer (PCGS # 8905) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.

1851-O $20 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-40. Mostly untoned with semi-reflective surfaces. Normal light surface abrasion from circulation, typical of these earliest $20 gold pieces. Struck at the fabled New Orleans Mint, which stands as the chief port of entry and export in those days near the mouth of the Mississippi river. Think paddlewheel steam boats with Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn and you can place this coin in its proper perspective. At the time this double eagle was struck, Mark Twain was a teenager living up river from New Orleans in the little town of Hannibal, Missouri (PCGS # 8905) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200.

1852 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-50. Unlisted variety. We are pleased to offer a selection of U.S. Double Eagle varieties in this section. For many decades, collectors ignored the finer nuances of die positioning and little irregularities in this historic gold series. But one astute collector, over many years, assembled a most interesting collection of unusual items, many of which collectors will be astonished even exist! It should be understood that in the 19th Century, many of the design features such as dates and stars were individually punched into the working dies after the main design had been impressed (Liberty head, eagle with supporting shield, scroll and rays). As here, there is a faint trace of a misplaced "1" still evident beneath the 8 in the date. Possibly, attempts at removing the mis-placement of an earlier date by the die maker left this tiny residual behind. Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1852. ANACS graded AU-50. Nice golden toning with some residual luster present. Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1852-O $20 Liberty. Sharpness of Extremely Fine. Probably from a shipwreck. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.

1853/2 $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55 CAC Approved. Lightly toned. The excellent photograph in Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of United States Coins has a blowup picture of the overdate. The bottom half of the diagonal of the underfigure "2" is seen within the opening of the 3. Also, some traces of an earlier 5 visible within the 5, but his is from a slightly different shaped 5, which Breen attributed to part of the 1852 logotype. A small raised lump beneath the R of LIBERTY is diagnostic of the 1853/2 variety. An example that retains much mint frost. Little weakness is visible within the hair on the obverse (rare in this condition, since most are weak in this area on the Type One double eagles). What is most commendable is the fact the surfaces have frosty luster with a hint of original patina. This is a splendid AU55 example that will delight the most advanced collectors. Pop 29; 46 finer, 42 in 58, 3 in 61, 1 in 62 (PCGS # 8909) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.

1853-O $20 Liberty. Lightly toned and still nice looking. Some obverse scratches. Very scarce in all grades: only 71,000 were coined. The devices are sharply struck throughout with fewer than the usual expected small abrasions scattered over each side (PCGS # 8910) . Estimated Value $3,700 - 3,800.

1855-S. SEGS graded MS-60. Saltwater surfaces. Lightly toned and finely detailed. There is a shallow chattermark in the field below Liberty's chin. Otherwise refreshingly choice in spite of the mild matte look from saltwater emersion. Estimated Value $2,800 - 2,900.

1856-S PCGS graded Genuine Filed Rims. Our grade is Sharpness of AU (PCGS # 8919) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1857-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ CAC Approved. A splendid and very choice example that undoubtedly was recovered from the S.S. Central American. This beauty glows witih intense golden-orange mint bloom colors. Gorgeous bright frosty luster, essentially "as struck" -- an incredible coin if you have never seen one of these stunning ?57-S double eagles! The mint at San Francisco opened for business in 1854 in response to the flood of gold bullion issuing from California's Sierra Nevada mother lodes. From gold's discovery in 1848 until the mint opened, a number of private mints operated in this part of the state. Much of the issue from San Francisco went east through various means to satisfy the needs of commerce and for use as export. Those double eagles that stayed behind in California were used a currency since the state's residents shunned paper money of any kind. This is the main reason why double eagles are found circulated (often heavily so) and only rarely in fresh mint condition. The Mint State 64 offered here is quite naturally among the finest in existence. Perhaps only a few thousand frosty original coins exist out of the original mintage. They trace to the shipwreck of the passenger liner S. S. Central America, which floundered off the East Coast in a storm late in 1857. On the history of the $20 denomination itself: one of the consequences of the immense discoveries of gold in California was an increase in gold bullion coming to the Philadelphia Mint for coinage. Authorities felt that large-scale domestic or international transactions payable in gold should be made in more compact form than eagles or smaller denominations. Accordingly, Rep. James Iver McKay (D.N.C.) was persuaded to introduce an amendment to his Gold Dollar bill, Feb. 1849, which would authorize coinage also of $20s, to be called Double Eagles. These were to weigh 516 grains = 33.436 grams, a little over a troy ounce each, and be roughly comparable in value to several Latin American denominations. Pop 72; 35 finer with 31 in 65, 1 in 65+, 3 in 66 (PCGS # 8922) . Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000. Provenance: The Dandelion Collection.

1863-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A hint of light gold tone and quite frosty for such an early issue. While gold coins were hoarded East of the Mississippi River in 1861-65 because of the ongoing Civil War in those parts, out West, it was business as usual. Double Eagles such as this tended to see heavy circulation. It is always a treat for us to provide bidder the opportunity to acquire a choice, lovely AU58 specimen (PCGS # 8940) . Estimated Value $2,900 - 3,000.

1865 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded EF-40. Major "1865/186" plus "1" from left side of "8". Unlisted variety. Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1865-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A lovely frosty gem. In our opinion this coin should be graded MS64+ or MS65. It is one of the most attractive we have seen, a coin the boasts sharp rims without bad blemishes, and golden-bright luster whose glow and radiance is enjoyable to examine. There is a small mark on Liberty's hair just to the left of her hair bun as well as minor luster grazes in the field below the right wing of the eagle, but nothing else that would require mentioning. On the contrary, the coin is decidedly superior in whatever way you choose to measure. The Deep Sea Research group of entrepreneurs found and recovered 1,207 coins from the wreck of the Brother Jonathan, mostly in the form of 1865-S double eagles. Today, these are available in frosty Mint State grades though most have long since disappeared into coin collections. That source has also made a few near Gem-quality examples available to collectors. As such, the 1865-S is, while not rare, considered one of the most historic offerings available to American numismatists. Pop 127; 25 finer, 1 in 64+, 22 in 65, 2 in 66 (PCGS # 8944) . Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000.

1869-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45 CAC Approved. Toned. In an OGH. Lustrous (PCGS # 8956) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1870-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded VF-25. Housed in an OGH (PCGS # 8959) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1872-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ. Frosty with light gold tone. A beaming Mint State example of this unassuming rare double eagle. In fact, most all San Francisco Mint double eagles from the 1870s are rarities once Mint State condition is achieved. This frosty Mint State 61 example basks in brilliant yellow-gold luster with a hint of green, and it is only marginally abraded, much less so than is normally seen for the grade. Pop 37; 6 finer in 62 (PCGS # 8965) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.

1872-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Lustrous and well struck for this issue from the 1870s (PCGS # 8965) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,850.

1873 $20 Liberty. Open 3. PCGS graded MS-61 CAC Approved. Bright and frosty. An affordable Type 2 double eagle. Most collectors are content with any 1873 and the open 3 variety is readily available. In most cases the grades tend to stop at About Uncirculated although in some lower Mint State examples are found on occasion. This is such an occasion (PCGS # 8967) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1873 $20 Liberty. Open 3. PCGS graded AU-55 CAC Approved. Housed in an OGH (PCGS # 8967) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1874 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53 CAC Approved. Toned. In an OGH. A coin whose luster spans most of the surface with only minor wear on the highest design features (PCGS # 8970) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1875 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-55. Cancelled "JBL designer's initials. This one is unusual as a "heavy die file mark obliterates Longacre's initials" on the truncation. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.

1875-CC $20 Liberty. A nice looking coin from this storied Western Mint. Carson City Mint now houses a museum. The city lies east of Lake Tahoe on the California-Nevada border, and is south of the city of Reno (PCGS # 8974) . Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,400.

1875-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded VF-35 CAC Approved. Light even toning. Much eye appeal for the grade (PCGS # 8974) . Estimated Value $1,750 - 1,800.

1875-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded EF-45. Normal "JBL" on truncation. Recut reverse legend. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.

1876-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Toned with plenty of underlying luster evident. This issue's mintage total of 138,441 tops any double eagle struck in the Carson City Mint. While fairly common in circulated grades up to About Uncirculated, in Mint State the tables turn. Few are found, only a limited number have reached this grading service over the past 25 years. This is a frosty 1876-CC double eagle. The surfaces are vivid yellow-gold in color with modest, yet hardly annoying marks in the fields. Sharply struck and free of all minting imperfections, this coin should be of obvious importance to astute Carson City specialists. Some minor coin to coin scuffing of the cheek luster during bank transfers is mentioned for pedigree purposes. Pop 140; 64 finer (PCGS # 8977) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000. Provenance: The Dandelion Collection.

1876-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58 CAC Approved. Toned and in an OGH. Lots of luster still evident. The Type 2 Double Eagle series is one of the most conditionally challenging in all of U.S. numismatics. There is perhaps no better indication of the veracity of this statement than the combined PCGS & NGC census figures in all grades. A lovely, lustrous coin with natural toning acquired over more than a century and a quarter (PCGS # 8977) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.

1876-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45 CAC Approved. Toned. In an OGH. This issue's mintage figure of 138,441 pieces is the highest of any double eagle struck in the Carson City Mint. As such, it is a fairly easy coin to obtain in circulated grades with EF and AU examples predominating, although heavy abrasion and bagmarking is often seen. Much luster seen on this well struck example (PCGS # 8977) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.

1876-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-53. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1877-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-60. 1877/1877 all digits show repunching in this coin's date. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1878 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-60. Double Die Reverse-1. Doubled reverse legend. We note a nice full strike. Lustrous. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1878-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53. Only 13,180 struck. A nice frosty coin. The 1878-CC twenty is one that takes a great deal of hunting to find, being a low mintage issue that enjoys continual demand from gold collectors and Carson City specialists in turn. Perhaps fewer than a dozen Mint State survivors are accounted for, and these are very expensive, lending added importance to those that come within reach of Mint State quality. This attractive, shimmering representative is only lightly abraded for the grade and CC-mintmark. It shows only the slightest interruption of luster on the high points of the design. Desirable quality for a sought-after CC date. Pop 22; 34 finer (PCGS # 8986) . Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.

1879-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded EF-45. Top of the letters of 'TWENTY DOLLARS" doubled. Apparently an extremely rare variety. Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.

1879-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-50. Broken Top "8" plus "9 over 9". Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1880-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-58. Untoned with some contact marks. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1881-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-53. BE-7281 variety. Some light bag marks. Scarce variety. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1882-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-55. Small Squat "S" mint mark. Lightly toned with moderate bag marks. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1883-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Mostly untoned. Satiny luster throughout and especially pleasing surfaces. This is a popularly collected date. More affordable than some of the rarer CC-mint issues. Only 59,962 struck (PCGS # 8999) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.

1883-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-62 details, wiped. Tall "S" mint mark. The talls (as on Silver Dollars) continued until 1899 according to Breen. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.

1883-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58 CAC Approved. Intensely lustrous and looks fully Mint State (PCGS # 9000) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1884-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded EF-45. Mostly untoned. Desirable Carson City Mint date. Only 81,139 pieces struck (PCGS # 9001) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1889-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. "1889/89" unlisted variety. This remarkable coin exhibits "89" repunched in date. Apparently, very rare. Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,800.

1890-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53 CAC Approved. Nicely toned. Only 91,209 struck. A popular date for the collector who'd like to own a representative example from the Carson City, Nevada mint. Struck from locally mined gold (PCGS # 9014) . Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,400.

1890-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45 CAC Approved. Nice light golden toning (PCGS # 9014) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.

1890-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-60. Pup: Doubled arrow heads; UNUM/Scroll. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1891-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. We note some obverse marks and our grade of AU-55 is more correct. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1892-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-58. Breen's "so-called" 2/1. Some light to moderate obverse contact marks. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1892-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. Recutting noticeable on the 2 in the date. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1892-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Nice golden toning. Housed in an OGH (PCGS # 9021) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1893-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Light golden toning and frosty. Only 18,402 struck this last year of issue. A lustrous-fresh beauty. Level, rolling luster with splashes of rich gold mingle on the select surfaces. We note an absence of readily identifiable marks on the obverse (which is unusual, and gives this specimen an advantage over others). For its part the reverse is equally attractive, equally lustrous, and endowed with the same pleasing natural color acquired over more than a century. Pop 160; 20 finer, 19 in 63, 1 in 64 (PCGS # 9023) . Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.

1893-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck with light golden toning (PCGS # 9024) . Estimated Value $1,650 - 1,700.

1894-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. Doubling on the mint mark and on the entire legend. Unlisted by Breen. We note scrape marks on Liberty's face. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1894-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55 (PCGS # 9026) . Estimated Value $1,550 - 1,600.

1895 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-62. Our grade is MS-60. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1895-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. Doubled mint mark. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1895-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58 (PCGS # 9028) . Estimated Value $1,350 - 1,400.

1896 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61 Details, cleaned. 1896/1896. All 4 digits show repunching at the top. Discovered by E.M. Seneca. Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.

1896-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-60. Our grade is AU-58, mostly untoned. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1896-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. Frosty (PCGS # 9030) . Estimated Value $1,350 - 1,400.

1897-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-62. The first digit of this date shows recutting on the left base. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1898-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. 1898/189-S. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1898-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. 89/89. Date shows 1 repunched at its base. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1898-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-62. Doubled Date. A new major variety showing the boldest repunching well below the base of 1 Rare. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1898-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Housed in an OGH. Mostly untoned (PCGS # 9034) . Estimated Value $1,650 - 1,700.

1899-S and 1905-S. Our grade is VF20 and lightly cleaned . Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $2,900 - 2,950.

1899 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-58. Strike doubled reverse legend. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.

1899 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded AU-55. Closed "9" so-called "9/8". Probably quite rare. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.

1899 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Toned. In an old green label holder. A frosty P-mint coin (PCGS # 9035) . Estimated Value $1,550 - 1,600.

1900 $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. Frosty and untoned. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1900 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Frosty (PCGS # 9037) . Estimated Value $1,550 - 1,600.

1902 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63 PQ. Low mintage date. Only 31,140 produced. Well struck with nice light golden toning. There are three better date double eagles from the Philadelphia Mint from the early 20th century, the 1902, 1905 and 1906. Of these three, the 1902 and 1905 are the scarcest. A small mintage of 31,140 was all that was produced in 1902 and survivors rarely make it past the MS63 grade. We feel certain that bidding will be intense for this original, choice and undervalued double eagle scarcity This satiny example does not have the "washed out" appearance seen on the few competing 1902 Double Eagles. Were you to block out the date, you might easily assume this is a 1904 by its swirling luster and serene appearance. We should also point out that the devices are well struck overall with minimal abrasions present, a small mark at the eye, a little depression near the chin. The reverse is equally outstanding for such a rare bird, no pun intended. Only the collector of substance will be able to afford this coin. But it is every bit the masterpiece within its series, a landmark offering, shall we say? Pop 66; 10 finer, 1 in 63+, 8 in 64, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 9041) . Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.

1903 $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63 CAC Approved. Nice light golden toning (PCGS # 9043) . Estimated Value $1,750 - 1,800.

1904 $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Light golden toning. Swirling frosty luster rounds out this coin's list of select attributes (PCGS # 9045) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1907-S $20 Liberty. SEGS graded MS-61. Rusted obverse die at date. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1904 $20 Liberty. Cleaned. Lot looks like MS60 coins. Lot of 2 coins (PCGS # 9045) . Estimated Value $3,100 - 3,200.

1908 $20 St. Gaudens. No motto. PCGS graded MS-65. Delicately toned. Blazing-gold luster with crisp definition and exceptionally clean surfaces. Definitely, an accurately graded example of the MS65 designation (PCGS # 9142) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1908 $20 St. Gaudens. No motto. NGC graded MS-62. Softly struck in the center, still quite lustrous with traditional No Motto satin-type luster throughout (PCGS # 9142) . Estimated Value $1,550 - 1,600.

1908 $20 St. Gaudens. With motto. PCGS graded MS-65. A nice satin finish coin. Very clean fields. Excluding the normal IN GOD WE TRUST on this piece was not a small matter for President Roosevelt. As early as April 1907, he asked Director Roberts for an opinion. According to Roger Burdette's research: "Roberts replied that it was not required by law, but that the Solicitor of the Treasury said that the motto had been in use for so long that that Congress may have lost the ability to prevent its use." Roosevelt decided to omit the motto anyway all double eagles and eagles issued in 1907 and part of 1908 lacked the motto. This simplified the designs and improved the overall artistic impact. When the first coins were released in early November 1907, the omission was noticed immediately, however, and commented upon negatively. Within a few days, letters, telegrams, and petitions peppered the President, Congress. Legislation requiring the motto passed Congress and was signed on May 17. After June 17, 1908, all the new design gold coins carried the required inscription. This is a strongly struck Gem that has booming mint frost and bright as the dickens, the golden aura shimmers off the surface. An outstanding strike as well, few high grade With Motto twenty 1908s are accounted for. A scarce opportunity to acquire this issue in the Gem MS65 grade. Pop 60; 11 finer, 10 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 9147) . Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000.

1908 $20 St. Gaudens. With motto. NGC graded MS-65. An untoned satiny mint gem. The surfaces are virtually immaculate. While the 1908 No Motto pieces are fairly well spread over the grading spectrum, the opposite is the case with the prized 1908 With Motto strikes. Check out the low census figures below! We report tremendous detail from a very positive strike, which collectors like better to see than halfhearted detail; furthermore, the surfaces show wonderful golden hues. No need to worry about an unsuccessful strike left by the rebound of the dies that coined this -- something that plagues some No Mottos but fortunately is avoided in the With Mottos -- since even a cursory examination of the piece reveals nice clarity of detail, including the centers. Pop 19; 11 finer (PCGS # 9147) . Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000.

1908-S $20 St. Gaudens. With motto. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. Lovely golden toning. Only 22,000 struck. A radiant coin of the kind of quality one likes to describe for bidders of this actively collected but seldom seen ?08-S release. Careening satin luster fills the surface and covers all devices effortlessly with a warm golden aura on the frosted surfaces. Struck with systematic exactness throughout. The 1908-S has a rich history in numismatics, including auction appearances. By 1908, the date of gold coins was incorporated into the master die, with the result that there is no difference among working dies. However, the mintmark (S or D as the case may be) was entered by a hand punch. On the 1908-S offered here the S is located above and slightly left of center of the 0 (1908), between two rays, and tilts slightly to the left (PCGS # 9149) . Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000.

1909 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded AU-55 CAC Approved. Housed in an OGH. Nicely toned. Slightly better date with only 161,282 pieces struck (PCGS # 9150) . Estimated Value $1,650 - 1,700.

1913 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice golden toning. The surfaces are sleek and glowing with a healthy show of gold color. There is no uneveness in the toning, choice fields and devices confirm the MS64 grade. According to our close examination, this piece also shows extra bold detail on all relief portions Pop 309; 14 finer, 4 in 64+, 10 in 65 (PCGS # 9161) . Estimated Value $5,800 - 6,000.

1914-D $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. Nicely toned (PCGS # 9165) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650.

1924 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-65. Attractive light golden toning. The fully brilliant example we now present bidders beats (from a technical angle) practically all of the Gem quality 1920s Saint-Gaudens $20s that have passed through the various grading services (PCGS # 9177) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1924 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-65. Pleasing light golden toning. A radiant, mint-fresh example, as crisp and glossy as when it was first released from to the Treasury for distribution (PCGS # 9177) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.

1924 $20 St. Gaudens. SEGS graded MS-63. Edging Star indented on reverse wing. Rare variety. Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1924 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Lightly toned and frosty. The choice technical grade of this piece is fully matched by the intangible qualities that constitute eye appeal, making the present coin one of the more memorable examples of its year (PCGS # 9177) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1924 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Untoned and very frosty. Luminous, satiny luster and first-rate detail for this common date issue. The surfaces are brilliant (PCGS # 9177) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,750.

1927 $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-66. A simply stunning example, the strike is noteworthy for this always well produced type, with all devices in sculpted relief. The focal features display fully, and the luster is full with a richly frosted sheen. Bright and untoned (PCGS # 9186) . Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,400.

1928 $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-66 Star. Lovely golden toning. A bright coin soaking up mint glow on gold surfaces with nothing to censor it from its refined ?66 grade. Something perhaps worth pausing to study is the fact that all devices were struck with the usual and desirable consistency of this year, that is, sharply by the dies, which then left behind bold elements of detail throughout (PCGS # 9189) . Estimated Value $2,600 - 2,700.

1928 $20 St. Gaudens. ANACS graded AU-50. Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,550.

1924 $20 St. Gaudens. Cleaned. Both coins look Unc. Lot of 2 coins (PCGS # 9177) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,100.

1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold $2.50. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck with light golden toning. Uncommonly smooth for the issue, this frosty textured example displays brilliant yellowish-gold surface. Desirable with this bold strike. Estimated Value $4,400 - 4,600.

1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold $2.50. NGC graded MS-63. Well struck and untoned. A satiny golden specimen with faint golden zephyr-like wisps of raised curls on both sides which the coin?s designer purposely chose to give a more rustic look than plain mint frost. Nicely struck for the date, too, certainly much finer than the even some in the higher grades we have encountered, and worthy of strong bidder consideration. The 1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition was held at a time in our history when the art world was casting aside the constraints of its previous Victorian ways. Many new devices were being tested on America's coinage: matte proofing, rims without denticles, artistic lettering, textured fields, and the like. As can be seen, the coins struck for this expo, such as this handsome Quarter Eagle, incorporate some of these changes. Instead of a more traditional design, the artist proposed an unusual motif of Columbia seated on a mythological hippocampus, half-horse, half-sea serpent. The eagle, too, was rendered in a new way not seen before on an American production coin. It was modeled upon a similar eagle seen on one of the rare Pattern issues. Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,100.

1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Light gold toning (PCGS # 7449) . Estimated Value $525 - 550.

1917 McKinley Gold Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely golden toning, a very impressive Gem. There is much to say about the beautiful surfaces of this simply designed yet technically excellent design since they are nearly perfect, a quality most worthy of the grade. The mint frost glows with intensity over each side. There is just a bit of light patina as well. Nicely struck, and unlike some which have the faintest touch of weakness at McKinley?s temple, this exemplary coin is bold (PCGS # 7455) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500.

1926 Sesquicentennial Gold $2.50. PCGS graded MS-65. Nicely toned. Likely an early strike from new dies, just estimating from the crisp details. The surfaces are vivid gold in hue and drenched in luster. Here, too, we are struck by the nice, convincing design detail for all areas of this important Quarter Eagle Commemorative with not even the slightest amount of flatness on the features or Independence Hall building (PCGS # 7466) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1926 Sesquicentennial Gold $2.50. PCGS graded MS-65. Light even golden toning. A satiny gem with richly imbued luster that graces the golden surfaces. Nicely struck for the design, indeed, about as fine as this Sesqui Commemorative is ever found. John R. Sinnock, the coin's designer, would have loved this one! (PCGS # 7466) . Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.

1926 Sesquicentennial Gold $2.50. PCGS graded Both MS-63. Two pieces. Lot of 2 coins (PCGS # 7466) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,050.

1926 Sesquicentennial Gold $2.50. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A lovely coin. John R. Sinnock created both the Half Dollar and Quarter Eagle Commemoratives made to celebrate our 150th anniversary as a nation. The Quarter Eagle has a representation of Liberty on the obverse holding a torch and wearing a liberty cap denoting freedom. The building on the reverse is Independence Hall, Philadelphia, with a rising sun behind it. Initials JRS are to the right of the building. In all, 45,793 Quarter Eagles were sold for $4.00 apiece (PCGS # 7466) . Estimated Value $800 - 850.

August Bechtler, 5 DOLLARS CAROLINA, 141 gr. 20 carats NGC graded AU Details. Tooled and cleaned. Not as bad as the description sounds on the NGC slab. A very pleasing looking example. The design of this piece is at once simple and serviceable. There are no special design elements, except perhaps for the star on the obverse. The lettering appears entered in the die with a utilitarian purpose, and with little regard for artistry. For example, the letters of CARATS below the 5 are misaligned with the other letters. The neighboring G appears to have tripped and fallen away from the GOL as if it did not want to be associated with the others. Many engraving irregularities could be pointed out on both sides, especially regarding improper spacing. And yet…the Bechtler gold coins served a function. Well into the 1860s these hard-working coins were found circulating throughout the region, indeed, far away from their mint of issue, and in competition with regular-issue U.S. gold coins! Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
