Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1442 1795 Taraszka 2 (R-4). 13 Leaves, Stars 10x5 VF $19,000.00 Very Fine in strict terms of circulation. This reverse shows a leaf essentially touching the left upright of 'U' in UNITED. Deep yellow gold surfaces show relatively moderate wear, a couple of obverse copper spots. Careful study reveals faint evidence of smoothing and the hairlining of a past cleaning. Categories  •  Stack's June 2006 → United States Coins → U. S. Eagles ($10.00 Gold) → U. S. Capped Bust Right, Heraldic Eagle Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1443 1799 Tar.19. Irregular Date, Small Berries. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $13,500.00 This well centered, thoroughly detailed strike is highly satisfying to the eye, especially as the coin is altogether free of major marks to assure exceptional overall appeal. The sharpest scrutiny under a glass reveals hints of a skillful past cleaning. 1444 1799 Tar.22. Large Obverse Stars AU $10,000.00 About Uncirculated and evenly struck on both the obverse and reverse. This frosty, yellow-golden specimen is embellished by wispy hints of coppery toning in the protected areas of the design. This toning partially conceals the presence of a number of shallow light field marks, none of which are overly serious in and of themselves. A tiny obverse edge bump at 8:00 is also noted, however...  more 1445 1801 Tar.25 (R-3) AU $6,000.00 Strong About Uncirculated in strict terms of wear. This coin was boldly struck and displays a wealth of pleasing detail, but the planchet shows a faint bend and the obverse bears some old shallow scratches in the field. 1446 1801 Tar.25 (R-3) AU $12,000.00 About Uncirculated. This Large Star obverse shows the eighth star nearly touching the back of the cap, while this reverse shows the eagle's beak not quite touching a star point. Such wear on the deep gold surfaces as is present is decidedly moderate, with a few scattered tics noted for accuracy. Careful study reveals a short arc of obverse rim at 1:00 that is essentially invisible to...  more 1447 1803 Tar.28 (R-4). Small Reverse Stars AU $9,000.00 About Uncirculated and offering a delicate shade of coppery-orange toning on either side. There is a single shallow obverse hairline scratch that extends from the inside point of the sixth star to the hair curls behind Liberty's ear. Although there is evidence of an ever so gentle cleaning, there are no other impairments worthy of note. Despite these noted shortcomings, this rare coin...  more 1448 1803 Tar.30 (R-4). Large Stars AU $7,000.00 About Uncirculated. Stars around Liberty and above the Heraldic eagle are large and pointed on this important variety, and a leaf tip nearly touches the left base of 'I' in AMERICA. Magnificent strike and centering are joined by a wealth of fine detail. Careful study shows that this coin was polished at some time in its long career. Categories  •  Stack's June 2006 → United States Coins → U. S. Eagles ($10.00 Gold) → U. S. Liberty Head Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1449 1847 CH AU $1,700.00 Very Choice About Uncirculated. This coin has some lustre in the protected areas and portions of the fields are reflective. Sharply impressed throughout and unusually well cared for. Liberty's cheek and neck are free of distracting nicks or cuts, and the surfaces are a delight for a coin that circulated even briefly. Trace hairlines from handling, but strong visual appeal for this otherwise...  more 1450 1847'O' VF $270.00 Very Fine. Actual circulation is quite moderate but there is a scratch across Liberty's neck. Deep red-gold fields show evidence of wiping and the reverse rim bears a single bruise. 1451 1848'O' CH AU $2,200.00 Choice About Uncirculated and a highly compelling specimen. Rich yellow-golden fields and design features retain a full measure of icy mint frost. The surfaces furthermore are far smoother than the norm, there being only a single trivial obverse line at Liberty's jaw, as well as an ever so minor obverse rim mark at 2:00. As is virtually always the case with examples of this date, there is some degree...  more 1452 1851'O' EF $280.00 Extremely Fine. This reverse shows the mysterious circle atop stripe 2 that the late Walter Breen called a compass point. Yellow-gold surfaces have been lightly wiped. 1453 1852 EF $360.00 Extremely Fine. A wealth of solid detail stems from an outstanding strike. The wear is best described as minimal, smooth golden surfaces show evidence of a past light wiping. 1454 1861 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $4,700.00 - or somewhat finer. Needle-sharp strike and uniformly lustrous light gold surfaces define this coin, part of the great treasure salvaged from the famous 1865 Atlantic Ocean wreck of the historic S.S. Republic in 2003. Close study under magnification reveals super-fine parallel planchet striae and a few typical light bagmarks of little visual importance. Mint State survivors of this No Motto...  more 1455 1865'S' Normal Date AU $10,500.00 A strong About Uncirculated or better specimen, and exhibiting traces of coppery toning in the peripheral devices. Only very light friction is evident at the high points of the design and in the open areas of the fields. There is, furthermore, an abundance of frosty mint lustre that still adheres to every part of this impressive coin. Only 16,700 pieces were struck of this rare date. Of this mintage,...  more 1456 1871'S' AU $2,600.00 A solid About Uncirculated. Substantial mint lustre remains in the fields, which survived limited circulation. There are some unfortunate scuffs on Liberty's face, generally on her cheek, some of which continue into the field below her chin. The 'S' mintmark is a trifle weak, as always seen on this rare issue. A mere 16,500 were coined for circulation, and perhaps five to ten percent survive...  more 1457 1874 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,900.00 - or somewhat finer. Bright lustre surrounds and highlights the marvelously bold reliefs. A few hairlines and a very few tiny tics are to be found in the flashing fields. NGC MS61. 1458 1880 CH AU $480.00 About Uncirculated; 1893 Choice About Uncirculated. Both of these high quality coins boast considerable lustre, the second is especially appealing. 2 pieces. 1459 1880'CC' CH AU $2,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A well struck coin for this date, with sharp definition on the eagle's claws and Liberty's curls. Dipped at some time in the past, but traces of lustre remain in the fields. A mere 11,190 were struck for the entire year, a meager sum indeed considering the number of collectors seeking an example today. As nice as this date is seen or can reasonably be obtained....  more 1460 1881 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $230.00 - with claims to Choice. Frosty lustre throughout and typically sharp. Moderate bagmarks seem to favor the fields for residence, leaving Liberty's cheek and neck cleaner, although one thin scratch is found below her eye. 1461 1881 AU $225.00 About Uncirculated and nearly Choice. Decent lustre for the grade and a good strike. There is some repunching around the second '8' leading the consignor to believe that this is some sort of overdate. 1462 1882 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $260.00 - with claims to Choice. Lustrous and attractive despite the usual scattering of bagmarks. One edge nick is found on the lower right reverse rim. 1463 1882 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $320.00 - virtually of Choice condition. Crisp greenish-gold toning over nicely preserved surfaces. The strike is wonderful, giving this coin marvelous eye appeal. 1464 1882 BU $500.00 Extremely Fine; 1885 Brilliant Uncirculated. The first shows partial lustre and a few tics, the second is free of wear but the obverse shows eraser treatment. 2 pieces. 1465 1883 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $750.00 - and nearly fully Choice. Deep golden lustre covers an attractive strike, a few scattered marks in the otherwise smooth fields are noted for accuracy. NGC MS62. 1466 1886'S' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $240.00 Lovely, pervasive red-gold lustre shows an absolute minimum of very trivial tics. 1467 1888'O' AU $330.00 About Uncirculated. A sharp and attractive coin which has decent surfaces and even yellow-gold color. With a tiny mintage of 21,335 pieces, few are known in grades even approaching Uncirculated. There is a small attached planchet lamination below the right wing of the eagle which is in the form of a jagged raised line, and this is not distracting. A considerable rarity in all grades. 1468 1888'S' CH AU $525.00 Choice About Uncirculated, on the cusp of Mint State; 1898 About Uncirculated or finer. The first coin displays delightfully rich lustre, the companion shows subtle tan-gold at the rims. 2 pieces. 1469 1889'S' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $220.00 - or essentially so. Rather generous bagmarks on the obverse are noted, cleaner on the reverse, as usual for the design. 1470 1890'CC' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,750.00 Fascinating red-gold surfaces show heightened lustre surrounding the crisply delineated reliefs on this pleasing Carson City strike. Here is a Branch Mint Gold coin offering undeniable assertive eye appeal. 1471 1891'CC' CH AU $2,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated. This richly lustrous red-gold Carson City coin displays a microscopically exacting strike and is essentially free of visible evidence of significant circulation.
