1807 Br.5-D. Small Numerals. Large Stars. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$9,500.00
|
Stunning sunset oranges and ambers join rich yellow-gold lustre on this stunning, first year of type example. Well struck and featuring fields that are filled with the most intense mint frost imaginable on a coin of this grade. Light marks are noted in the field, but none are so serious as to detract from this highly desirable coin. |

A second. Choice About Uncirculated with the robust appeal of Mint State. This dignified design is seldom credited to the industrious John Reich, more famous for his Half Dollars. This coin's remarkably full cartwheel lustre is particularly vivid on the virtually Mint State reverse, giving this coin its undoubted, satisfyingly hard-to-improve visual appeal. |

A third. About Uncirculated. Here is another lightly circulated example of this important variety, presenting a desirable combination of abundant yellow-gold mint lustre with extremely light and even wear. This high-grade example is delightfully free of distracting marks or other special problems. |

1808 Br.4-B (R-4)
|
EF |
$3,500.00
|
Extremely Fine. Coppery-orange tones populate the areas at the edges of the devices and the legends, while the surfaces are overall a very deep orange-gold in tone. Even, light wear creates a certain charm on this historical coin, making one wonders what famous early Americans might have handled this coin in trade. |

Another. Extremely Fine or better. Nice lustre over greenish-gold and coppery-red toning. The planchet is slightly warped and there is a rim nick at 2:00. Well struck with a lovely appearance. |

1810 Br.1-A. Large Date, Large 5
|
AU |
$4,000.00
|
About Uncirculated. Substantial yellow-gold lustre shows a tantalizing hint of red on this coin's reverse. A very minor edge bruise occurs at 5:30. Fields bear faint hairlines and a few old scratches are visible above the eagle's head, but the coin's overall quality is unquestionably high. |

1810 Br.1-A. Large Date, Large 5

$1,300.00

A second. About Uncirculated in strict terms of wear and detail, but close examination shows obverse field tooling and porosity, overall polish causing artificial brightness. |

1811 Br.1-B (R-3). Small 5
|
AU |
$8,000.00
|
About Uncirculated, nearly Choice. This John Reich designed issue features frosty yellow-gold surfaces and crisply defined design motifs that feature minute hair and feather details. A glass reveals many fine tics in the fields that are indicative of loose jingling with other coins in a bag. |

1812 Br.1-B (R-3). Wide 5D. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$16,000.00
|
- virtually Choice. Blazing yellow-gold mint lustre is the defining quality of this final year of issue of this design type. Centers are a trifle weakly struck, revealing adjustment marks from the original planchet in those areas. Here is a simply splendid example that will surely please its new owner. |

1813 Br.1-A. STATES Positioned to Right. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$6,250.00
|
Superb greenish-gold patina. Well struck with all the intricate detail easily seen. Frosty surfaces give this coin excellent eye appeal. All in all a very beautiful example that will fit into any high grade type or date set. |

1813 Br.1-B (R-6). STATES Positioned to Left
|
CH AU |
$5,000.00
|
Choice About Uncirculated. Stars, date and legend are fully detailed, the lower beaded border is somewhat less clear as struck. Struck with an Open Collar, the fields show some very minute contact tics. Liberty has an open mouth, reverse shows STATES a trifle farther to left from OF and a very fine die crack joining the tops of 'MERI'. Deep yellow-gold surfaces convey both dignity and... more |

CH AU |
$5,400.00
|
A second. Choice About Uncirculated and not far from full Mint State. This is the rarer of two varieties of this first date, still struck with an Open Collar. A brief circulating life left abundant lustre, bold detail and scattered minuscule contact tics. This coin will be an excellent type or date example for any carefully built collection. |

1814/3 Br.1-A (R-4). Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$24,000.00
|
Nearly unbroken lustre cartwheels fly from this coin's rich goldenrod surfaces. Central devices and peripheral stars and legends are all extremely well struck and clearly defined, making for a very imposing looking specimen of this date. The 1814/3 is clearly one of the more challenging early Half Eagles, given an estimate surviving population of around 100 pieces. This specimen is quite... more |

1834 Br.I-1. Bass 1(a)/A (R-5). Plain 4, Small Letters. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$65,000.00
|
This coin's tiny date is closely spaced, '5D' is compact and near the reverse rim. A very strong impression of the dies is seen in the high, protective rims, sharply faceted stars, clear lettering and meticulous devices on either side. In condition and sheer visual appeal, this specimen of the last date of its series is dramatically close to the moment it dropped from the dies. A total mintage... more |

|
CH BU |
$150,000.00

- with significant claims to a higher grade. This coin's exacting strike is enhanced royally by a uniform, finely frosted lustre of the greatest delicacy and beauty. A glass and careful scrutiny find a faint mark or two, one hairline on the cheek, none of which are a significant demerit or visual distraction. Here is a totally lustrous, totally desirable example of the final date of this Capped... more |
