Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 1625 1913 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,600.00 - nearly Choice. Bright yellow-gold lustre throughout and pleasing for the grade. The strike shows the eagle's breast feathers and all the folds on Liberty's dress, but a few scuffs are noted on the high points of the design from bag friction. Identifiable by a minor scuff on the top third of the ray which is located below the tip of the branch held by Liberty. This date is represented...  more 1626 1913'D' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $700.00 - with claims to Choice. While more available than its Philadelphia counterpart, the 1913'D' is scarce in its own right. The Denver Mint issued 393,500 pieces and as seen with most other dates from this period, approximately one or two percent survived. Perhaps a few bags were still sitting around by 1914 when World War I broke out, and were quietly shipped off to Europe or South America...  more 1627 1913'S' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $5,300.00 - closely approaching Mint State. Splendidly full red-gold lustre is enriched by delightful orange-peel texture. Actual wear is hard to locate even on the high points of this boldly appealing specimen, though a very few contact tics can be searched out with a glass. PCGS MS64. 1628 1913'S' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $3,450.00 Lemon-yellow gold with some greenish tints over the eagle. This is one of the many scarce dates from this series, the mintage plunged to a paltry 34,000 pieces. Enough survived, however, to keep this date available for a price. Perhaps ten percent of the original issue are still around, a significantly higher number than one would expect when compared with other issues from this period....  more 1629 1914 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $3,250.00 This coin was hand chosen for the quality of the surfaces. The bagmarks are scattered over Liberty and the eagle, with the fields clean for the grade. Identifiable by a single diagonal bagmark near the center of the eagle's wing. A tiny mintage of 95,250 pieces somehow produced enough that a few bags survived, allowing collectors a chance to obtain an attractive coin like the present...  more 1630 1914'D' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $650.00 Glorious deep golden glitter gives breath-taking beauty. A glass reveals a tiny edge ding at 8:00. 1631 1914'S' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $550.00 Bright and lustrous for this date, with a decent strike on the centers, but there is some softness on the '4' of the date. Identifiable by a thin arcing bagmark on the sun which follows the rim. Bright yellow-gold lustre throughout. 1632 1915 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $750.00 - with claims to the Choice category. Reddish-gold lustre throughout and attractive. The surfaces show minor scattered bagmarks, but none are particularly distracting. Identifiable by a minor bagmark located on the end of the top tail feather of the eagle. A scarce date in all grades, and nearly unobtainable in Gem grades. The original mintage of 152,000 was reduced to approximately 2-3...  more 1633 1915 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $600.00 - or virtually so. Especially vivid orange-peel texture gives added dimension to this coin's handsome surfaces. 1634 1915'S' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $750.00 This near-Gem's cartwheel lustre joins pronounced orange-peel fields for unmistakable beauty and appeal. 1635 1915'S' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $575.00 A well balanced example of this date which has a sharp strike right to the rims, and ample eye appeal. Some dates show peripheral softness reflecting die wear or inadequate striking pressure. The surfaces are clean save for widely scattered bagmarks, none of which are noteworthy. This date survived in sufficient numbers to be available in most grades up to and including Gem, so collectors...  more 1636 1920 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $650.00 - or better. There is a very minor planchet lamination which crosses from the field, torch and into Liberty's gown. Strong lustre and a sharp strike make this coin desirable for date collectors. Although available in lower Mint State grades, this date is virtually unobtainable in Gem grades. This date was saved in sufficient numbers to be valued at a slight premium over a common date. 1637 1922 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $625.00 Unblushing bright lemon-gold lustre provides thorough-going beauty. 1638 1922 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $500.00 Light yellow-gold lustre shimmers on smooth fields and crisp devices. 1639 1922 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $550.00 Vivid cartwheel lustre transforms the appeal of this beautifully struck example. 1640 1922 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $550.00 Frosty lustre throughout and still attractive despite a cluster of bagmarks in the left obverse field. One minor copper spot is found below the second 'T' of TWENTY. No striking weakness is present as expected, and this date is available in most grades. 1641 1923 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $550.00 Bright orange-gold lustre in the fields and sharply impressed. The bagmarks are minimal for the grade, and this slightly better date commands little or no premium in most grades. A problem-free example that is typical of this issue. 1642 1923 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $625.00 - and approaching Gem in its significant overall beauty and undisputed visual quality. 1643 1923 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $575.00 Lovely deep lustre shows a couple of minor tics in the otherwise smooth fields. 1644 1923 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $550.00 - nearly Choice. An eye appealing coin that combines a bold strike with orange-peel radiance. PCGS MS62. 1645 1923'D' Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,300.00 A lovely example of this date with radiant lustre and a clean, strong strike. The surfaces are well preserved and lack the usual barrage of bagmarks so commonly seen. Although scarcer than most common dates, there are sufficient numbers about to provide for most collectors who desire an example. Identifiable by a dull scrape behind and nearly touching the eagle's eye. 1646 1923'D' Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,900.00 Bright greenish-yellow in color and appealing for the lustre. The strike is reasonably sharp, although some of the lower obverse stars lack crispness. Clean surfaces as expected, with one tiny nick on Liberty's right breast and a couple of others atop the sun's rays on the right close to Liberty's dress. Another impressive example of this slightly better date. 1647 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,200.00 - with claims to a higher grade. Deeply shimmering golden lustre complements an exacting strike to create exceptional beauty and undeniable appeal. PCGS MS65. 1648 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $950.00 Full satin-smooth gold lustre saturates both sides, a couple of microscopic copper spots can be searched out at the lower reverse. 1649 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,000.00 Lightest yellow-gold lustre beautifies an excellent strike to give this coin its powerful visual appeal. 1650 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $700.00 A superb coin with marvelous lustre and a good strike. The surfaces are first rate, giving this coin tremendous eye appeal. 1651 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,100.00 - or nearly so. Deep greenish-gold toning over frosty surfaces. A few scattered marks, otherwise this coin has a nice appearance. 1652 1924 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $1,100.00 - with claims to a higher grade. Another light canary-yellow example with one or two inconsequential scuffs. 1653 1924 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $650.00 - and approaching Gem. Wonderfully smooth, light red-gold lustre enhances a delightfully precise strike. 1654 1924 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $600.00 - with claims to Gem. Splendid gleaming glass-smooth lustre spells high quality for this exceptional example. Page 2 of 4  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
