Here is a lightly circulated yet marvelously mark-free example of the first date, enriched by glowing lustre surrounding the sharply impressed devices. 1333 1854 AU $800.00 About Uncirculated. A lightly cleaned coin that is well struck and has a very good appearance. 1334 1854 EF $1,000.00 Extremely Fine. Substantial lustre hugs the edges and joins red-gold toning that surrounds the reliefs on this boldly struck example of the first date of Three Dollar Gold pieces. 1335 1854'O' EF $2,400.00 Extremely Fine in strict terms of wear and displaying a delightful wealth of fine detail. Although free of conspicuous marks, the fields reveal hints of polishing long ago. One of 24,000 struck of this only New Orleans date. 1336 1855 CH AU $2,200.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Boldly struck with sharp Slanting-5 date. Lustre is abundant, especially so around the reliefs, some light hairlines can be discovered under a glass. 1337 1855 AU $1,600.00 About Uncirculated. Slant 5's appear in the date. Much lustre remains, especially surrounding the forceful reliefs. Faint scratches are to be found at the bust point. 1338 1855 AU $1,200.00 About Uncirculated. Light, problem-free wear and considerable lustre define this pleasing example. A reddish deposit is seen at 8:00 on the reverse rim. 1339 1856'S' Medium 'S.' CH VF $1,000.00 Choice Very Fine. Wear is appropriate to this grade, with only a single shallow obverse edge bruise providing a visual challenge. The San Francisco mintmark is sharply struck. 1340 1857 CH AU $4,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated and very close to full Mint State. Light canary-yellow gold lustre is rich and appealing, highlighting the outstanding quality of strike. 1341 1857'S' CH F $1,200.00 Choice Fine. This example of a San Francisco mintage of 14,000 saw its share of trouble-free circulation but presents pleasing surfaces that are largely mark-free with no special problems. 1342 1858 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $6,000.00 A considerable rarity in any grade, with a meager mintage of 2,133 pieces of which few survive. Most show moderate wear, and locating an attractive Uncirculated example as seen here can be quite a challenge. The fields retain prooflike reflectivity, a result of die polish. Examination will discover a minor planchet flaw from the top of Liberty's headdress nearly to the 'O' in OF, and...  more 1343 1860 CH AU $1,900.00 Choice About Uncirculated and very close to full Mint State. A satiny smooth coin with good lustre and excellent surfaces. Well struck and quite nice for the grade, which should inspire spirited bidding. 1344 1860 CH AU $2,600.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A bold strike is highlighted by brightly sparkling lustre around the reliefs. This lustrous reverse is especially near Mint State, adding immensely to the coin's overall appeal. 1345 1869 AU $1,200.00 About Uncirculated. Surfaces are remarkably lustrous and appealing, devices are boldly detailed with three reeding mark-like abrasions to be discovered on Liberty's face. 1346 1870 CH AU $1,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Pleasing red-gold lustre emphasizes the forceful strike that created this coin's crisp reliefs. The reverse shows an x-shaped scratch at the left margin between wreath and denticles. 1347 1871 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $5,500.00 - and on the cusp of fully Choice. Forthright cameo contrast results from wonderfully prooflike fields and lightly frosted, precisely detailed devices. A few light marks in the fields join a faint cheek scuff but the overall visual quality of this remarkable example of 1,300 business strikes produced can only be described as outstanding. 1348 1874 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $4,200.00 - or possible finer. A wonderful strike, coruscating golden lustre and a wealth of finest detail combine in this thoroughly appealing example, a splendid coin for any Type or date collection. 1349 1874 AU $1,000.00 About Uncirculated and approaching Choice. Deep yellow-gold lustre covers most of this example with a few hairlines appearing in fields otherwise free of distracting marks. 1350 1874 EF $750.00 Extremely Fine. Lustre is seen around the bold reliefs, fields are generally smooth and close examination reveals tiny obverse rim cuts at 2:00. 1351 1877 CH AU $3,250.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Red-gold lustre gives this boldly struck coin its glitter. Careful scrutiny shows evidence of dipping at some point, augmenting the coin's natural lustrous brilliance. One of 1,468 struck. This coin represents a high grade among the 38 pieces recorded by Dannreuther-Garrett in their 10-year auction listing. 1352 1878 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $5,750.00 Here is a coin that boasts nice, semi-reflective surfaces that are quite appealing. Well struck with good lustre. A common date that is very hard to find in this high grade, a fact that should be given strong consideration when bidding upon this lot. 1353 1878 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $2,000.00 Shimmering lustre covers both sides and a glass locates a pin scratch across the lower obverse. Here is a highly presentable example eminently fitted for a place in any high quality Type or date collection. 1354 1878 CH AU $1,300.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Minimal circulation joins plentiful lustre, careful examination reveals light marks below the wreath tie on the reverse. 1355 1883 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $10,500.00 One of just 900 pieces struck for the entire year, all on December 15 according to Breen in his Encyclopedia. Frosty and lustrous in the fields, with attractive surfaces for the grade. Identifiable by a minor arcing scratch near the base of the reverse. Traces of coppery-gold toning are found at the rims. Liberty's cheek, neck and hair are clean as expected, with no distracting nicks...  more 1356 1887 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $4,250.00 - or better and offering some characteristics of a fully Choice example. The fields show both characteristics of reflectivity and some satiny frost near the rims. All business strikes were coined with a doubled die obverse, best seen on 'RICA' at the tops of those letters. Frosty on the devices and relatively clean for the grade, although some minor hairlines are present. Identifiable...  more 1357 1888 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $3,000.00 - with the flashing beauty of Choice. A forceful strike creates a ghost of the reverse wreath in the obverse field, vastly increasing the coin's sparkling appeal. Here is an especially pleasing example of a business strike mintage of 5,000. Page 1 of 1  •  First  Previous  Next  Last
