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 |

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. |
|
1472 |
1893 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$265.00 |
- and approaching Choice. Delightful frosty yellow-gold lustre covers this boldly struck example, a glass finds one or two inconsequential tics. |
|
1473 |
1893 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$225.00 |
Decent surfaces and lustre for the grade, although moderate bagmarks are present. |
|
1474 |
1894 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$1,200.00 |
Boldly shimmering cartwheel lustre enlivens this richly lustrous workhorse date, struck as the business world was digging out from the Panic of '93. |
|
1475 |
1894 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$205.00 |
- or a bit better. Rich lustre in the fields, but there is a flurry of scuffs in the lower right obverse field. |
|
1476 |
1894 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$200.00 |
Lustrous but a few more bagmarks than seen on the prior example of this date. An average strike on the devices. |
|
1477 |
1895 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$275.00 |
The delicate surfaces of this coin are clean and attractive, with minor scattered handling marks, none deep or distracting. Although not a rare date, most survivors show considerably more contact than this one. Even yellow-gold lustre throughout. |
|
1478 |
1895 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$340.00 |
- nearly Choice and Prooflike. Here is an early strike from the dies with reflective fields on both sides, and the devices show more than the usual frost. Moderate handling marks from shipping in bags. Possible repunching on the back top of the '1'. |
