Frosty mint lustre is most vibrant at the peripheries and is accompanied by overlying delicate shades of coppery-red toning. As is typical of this date, there is some degree of softness at the central reverse, though the wreath and legend is bold. The obverse definition is sharper, as most of the hair detail is intact and the stars are well struck. A very scarce date in any condition, the total mintage...  more

1854 Brilliant Uncirculated and nearly of Choice quality. Attractive frosted devices over boldly struck...

1855 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Well struck but for the typically weakly impressed '8' of the...
Well struck but for the typically weakly impressed '8' of the date. Overall lustre is outstanding, the surfaces show some die clashing as is usual for this date.

One of a very small number of known Mint State examples of the only date of 'Indian Princess' type struck at New Orleans. This coin's diamond-sharp strike results in a crisply incised LIBERTY, plus the boldest date and 'O' mintmark standing out from deeply lustrous, reflective fields. Here is a coin of the most splendid visual quality.

A strong Extremely Fine in terms of wear but the coin was struck on a typical, inferior planchet. There is a rim lamination at 12:00 on the obverse and the date is weak in places. A shallow pin scratch is found on the lower left obverse field. Lightly toned and quite scarce with only 13,280 pieces struck.
2017 1858'D' AU $1,400.00
1858'D' About Uncirculated. Pale greenish-gold toning. The strike is a bit weak in places. The coin...
About Uncirculated. Pale greenish-gold toning. The strike is a bit weak in places. The coin has been previously cleaned but it still has a very respectable appearance. A very rare date with only 3477 pieces struck. Very few survive in such wholesome condition due to jewelry usage and other severe damage.

1873 Closed 3. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Gently glowing yellow-gold shows a hint a red. The strike...
Gently glowing yellow-gold shows a hint a red. The strike is remarkably full with an inconspicuous hairline noted just left of the reverse wreath ribbon. The Closed 3 is one of the rarities of the later Gold Dollar dates with only approximately 1,800 pieces struck. While 38 appearances of the Closed 3 are recorded by Dannreuther and Garrett in their 10-year auction listing, only two...  more
2020 1873 Closed 3. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $600.00

Richly lustrous surfaces complement a particularly vivid strike that is particularly apparent at the centers, though LIBERTY is essentially absent from the headband as so often seen. The Closed 3 is much scarcer than the frequently encountered Open 3.
2021 1874 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $180.00

A fully vibrant Choice or better example except for a few tiny obverse facial marks. The lustre is quite good and the strike is adequate.
2022 1878 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $650.00

2023 1887 Gem Brilliant Proof GEM BR PF $7,000.00
1887 Gem Brilliant Proof. Bold cameo effect results from delicately frosted light gold reliefs hovering...
Bold cameo effect results from delicately frosted light gold reliefs hovering over glass-mirror fields of the boldest reflectivity. This coin's strike is flawless with all of the most intricate details fully defined, framed by high outer rims showing the utmost perfection. Here is one of the finest survivors of a Proof mintage of 1,043, a hard-to-equal coin produced just before the termination...  more
2024 1887 Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $2,500.00
1887 Very Choice Brilliant Proof, on the cusp of fully Gem. A diamond-sharp strike is immediately...
- on the cusp of fully Gem. A diamond-sharp strike is immediately evident in the fine detail of the finely frosted feathers and leaf veins of the reverse wreath. Here is a gleaming, wholly satisfying example of a late-date Proof mintage of 1,043.
2025 1889 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $600.00

1796 No Stars. Breen 1, Bass-Dannreuther 2 (R-5). A solid About Uncirculated. The obverse shows lustre...
A solid About Uncirculated. The obverse shows lustre in the fields and minor hairlines from circulation, the reverse retains more lustre and is quite attractive as well. The strike is bold on all devices, even the 'E' of LIBERTY is clear although far from bold, as this letter has the unfortunate location of being opposite the eagle's tail, and is always found weak to some degree. No adjustment...  more
2027 1796 No Stars. Br.1, BD-2 (R-5) EF $32,000.00
1796 No Stars. Br.1, BD-2 (R-5). Extremely Fine in strict terms of wear. All major details are pleasingly...
Extremely Fine in strict terms of wear. All major details are pleasingly clear but the surfaces show the effects of jewelry use at one time. Careful examination shows subtle indentations in the denticles suggesting that old, non-destructive prong-mounts were used and no solder was applied to the coin. Although it has had its share of adventures over two centuries, this piece is still...  more
2028 1797 Br.1. BD-4 (R-6+) CH VF $21,000.00
1797 Br.1. BD-4 (R-6+). Choice Very Fine. The surfaces may have been lightly cleaned in the past,...
Choice Very Fine. The surfaces may have been lightly cleaned in the past, and show a bright yellow-gold hue. Moderate wear as expected for the grade. A strong die crack formed on the right side of the obverse die very early in the emission of these, and in fact no coins are known without this die crack. On this middle die state example, the crack has formed a retained cud, with the 'Y' and all the...  more
2029 1802/1 Br.1. BD-7. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $19,000.00
1802/1 Br.1. BD-7. Brilliant Uncirculated. Delightful prooflike surfaces are struck in yellow-gold....
Delightful prooflike surfaces are struck in yellow-gold. An uneven edge area at the lower left obverse and some light hairlines at the left obverse field. Excellent lustre and an adequate strike gives this coin wonderful eye appeal. A mintage of only 3,035 pieces shows just how difficult this date is to acquire.
2030 1805 Br.1. BD-12 CH EF $5,000.00
1805 Br.1. BD-12. Choice Extremely Fine in terms of wear but the coin has been previously cleaned...
Choice Extremely Fine in terms of wear but the coin has been previously cleaned and now exhibits a light greenish-gold tint. The reverse shows a few hairline scratches over somewhat reflective surfaces. The strike is decent with some lustre still remaining. This early Quarter Eagle still has a decent appearance and should be viewed closely.
