This bold obverse shows the tip of 5 piercing the bust, small stars are arranged 10 x 5. The 13-leaf reverse shows a leaf nearly touching the left upright of 'U' in UNITED. A strong strike resulted in outstanding overall detail, the lightest wear preserves partially lustrous surfaces. Examination will reveal a scattering of minute tics consistent with a brief period...  more 3453 1796 Tar.6, Br.1-A (R-4). Stars 8x8, 11 Leaves AU $32,500.00 About Uncirculated and close to Choice.

Brilliant Uncirculated BU $12,000.00 - or virtually so. Substantial gleaming lustre and pleasing reflectivity enhance a strong strike. Careful search under a glass will discover a hairline or two of little visual significance. This obverse shows star 8 touching the upper right serif of the 'Y'. The die state is defined by a bold diagnostic die crack connecting the back of the cap to star 8, another linking the tops of 'RTY'...  more 3455 1799 Tar.22. Br.5-G (R-3) AU $14,000.00 About Uncirculated, or virtually so. Design motifs are sharply struck, featuring well-detailed hair strands, eagle feathers and shield lines. Coppery rose tones rim the devices and legends, complementing this beautiful coin's orange-gold surfaces and flashy mint lustre. Surfaces exhibit many scattered fine marks, indicating that this coin spent a bit of time jingling loosely among other...  more 3456 1800 Tar.23. Br.1-A. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $26,000.00 - and boasting considerable prooflike surface, especially on the obverse. The reverse is mostly frosty, and both faces are a deep orange-gold in hue. As is characteristic to the series, the reverse is slightly finer, as the high relief obverse design bore the brunt of loose jingling with other coins. Very well struck, with even the eagle's neck feathers individually defined. Die states...  more 3457 1801 Tar.24, Br.1-A (R-5). Brilliant Uncirculated BU $30,000.00 Marvelous yellow-gold lustre borders on orange on this lightly hairlined example which radiates beauty with its distinctly prooflike fields. Strike is as bold as the Mint could bring about, some minor adjustment marks weakening only the top-centermost stars above the meticulous eagle on the reverse. The rims are wholly free of bumps and bruises, a rare occurrence on these heavy, thin...  more 3458 1801 Tar.25, Br.2-B (R-3). Large Pointed Stars, Star 8 at Cap. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $60,000.00  This glorious near-Gem boasts gleaming fields of prooflike intensity, conveying a quality outstripping that seen even in the best examples.

Garrett-Dannreuther provide two pages...  more 3459 1801 Tar.25. Br.2-B (R-3). Large Pointed Stars, Star 8 at Cap CH AU $17,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated, on the cusp of a Mint State grade. A few scattered marks and the lightest of wear are all that keep this rich wheat gold specimen from higher grade. Rosey tones inhabit the protected areas in and around the devices, while the devices themselves are crisp and well defined. Careful examination reveals a shallow rim bruise at 5:30 on the reverse. 3460 1803 Tar.30. Br.1-E (R-4). Brilliant Uncirculated BU $37,500.00 Here is a splendid example of the intriguing die variety featuring a tiny, malformed star punched into the last cloud on the reverse die. Profound amber toning speaks to this lustrous, rich orange-gold specimen's pure originality. Full frosty mint bloom is interrupted only by some adjustment marks visible mostly at the obverse centers. Although the 1803 is one of the most available dates...  more Categories  •  Stack's January 2005 → The Americana Sale → United States Coins → U. S. Eagles ($10.00 Gold) → U. S. Liberty Head Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 3461 1839/8 Type of 1838 AU $4,100.00 About Uncirculated. Well struck. Hairlined from a past cleaning but still retaining a very appealing appearance. A very scarce type that is quite hard to find in About Uncirculated or better condition. The 1838 and 1839 (Type of '38) differ slightly from the subsequent dates of the series and should be considered a two-year type. 3462 1839 Type of 1838 EF to AU $3,500.00 Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated in terms of wear. Antique gold surfaces exhibit lemon-gold highlights and some rather noticeable hairlines from a past wiping. Well struck and a very bold representative of this distinctive type featuring a very steep truncation to Miss Liberty's bust. 3463 1843'O' EF $250.00 Extremely Fine. Well struck with lustre still remaining. A small scrape near the eagle's beak, otherwise a decent example of this early New Orleans type coin. 3464 1847 CH AU $450.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A wonderfully struck coin with light friction limited to the high points. Champagne textures reveal slight hairlines. 3465 1850 Large Date. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $3,250.00 Intense orange-gold mint lustre of some freshness graces the fields and protected areas of this Philadelphia mint Eagle. Although not rare, this early No Motto issue is in demand both as a type coin and for its Gold Rush era date. Some handling in the obverse fields and an area of concentrated hairlines near the second star keep this eye-arresting coin from a much higher grade. 3466 1853 AU $250.00 About Uncirculated and nearly Mint State in strict terms of wear. A past cleaning has not totally effaced the natural mint lustre of this orange-gold coin. 3467 1855 CH AU $550.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Here is a gently worn No Motto Eagle that probably saw more loose jingling in a bag than actual circulation wear. Lustrous and pale yellow-gold in tone. 3468 1867 AU $3,000.00 About Uncirculated. A healthy lustre accentuates the boldly defined reliefs on both sides. Although this coin saw brief circulation, its fields are delightfully smooth and free of significant marks. One of 3,090 business strikes produced. The elusiveness of this date can be shown by the fact that as determined a collector as James A. Stack failed to obtain a high grade business strike,...  more 3469 1871'CC' AU $13,000.00 About Uncirculated or better. The actual circulation displayed by this Carson City coin is minor, extensive bagmarking of lustrous surfaces give it a distinctive appearance. One of 8,085 struck, long before mintmarks were systematically collected by U.S. numismatists. Only four examples in this high grade appear in the 10-year Garrett-Dannreuther auction listing. 3470 1873'S' VF $1,700.00 Very Fine and probably finer. This circulated branch mint issue still retains some areas of protected lustre. A rare coin in any condition, this well preserved example would be a welcome addition to any date collection. Only 12,000 pieces were struck, and most survivors are VF or thereabouts. 3471 1874 CH AU $650.00 Choice About Uncirculated, virtually Mint State. Just a touch of friction is noted at the high points of this lustrous salmon-gold specimen. Very scarcely offered, given a mintage of just 53,160 pieces. 3472 1879 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $2,400.00 Lovely peach-gold mint frost is joined by a touch of pale salmon toning. Some light slide marks are all that keep this gorgeous coin from a Choice designation. 3473 1880 CH AU $200.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Evenly struck and quite frosty. There is an ever so slight trace of orange toning at the obverse periphery. 3474 1880 AU $400.00 A strong About Uncirculated or better. Frosty mint lustre beneath an ever so delicate hint of coppery-rose toning; 1907 A solid About Uncirculated with claims to a higher grade. Deep yellow-golden surfaces offer rich mint frost. 2 pieces. 3475 1880, 1880'S' EF $350.00 Extremely Fine or better. Lightly to harshly cleaned surfaces are indicative of past use in jewelry. 2 pieces. 3476 1881 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $200.00 A pale orange-golden specimen with silky mint bloom. 3477 1882, 1907, 1907'D' AU $550.00 All exhibit the detail of About Uncirculated. The first, however has been harshly cleaned. The second and third, likewise, show signs of a past gentle cleaning. There is a very light obverse rim bruise at 7:00 on the last coin. 3 pieces. 3478 1883'CC' AB EF $480.00 About Extremely Fine. Smooth, antique gold surfaces boast hints of lustre in the protected areas and light marks associated with circulation wear. A mere 12,000 pieces were struck of this branch mint issue. 3479 1890'CC' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $4,500.00 A much better specimen than the average seen. Both sides are deep yellow gold in color. There is attractive mint lustre to be seen around the stars on the obverse. Only 17,500 were struck. The date is quite scarce in Mint State condition. 3480 1891'CC' Repunched 'CC.' Breen 7035. RPM #1. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,100.00 Flashing cartwheel lustre in the fields frame frosty orange-gold devices on this amazing looking Carson City mint issue. Usually mintmark varieties are quite minor and not avidly collected, but the collector of Carson City mint issues should definitely include this repunched mintmark variety solely based on the wide spread in the doubling. 3481 1893 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $200.00 - and easily Choice if not for some very well-hidden light hairlines. Otherwise very lustrous, well struck and exhibiting a lovely orange-gold hue. Page 1 of 3  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
