1843'O' Large Date, Plain 4
|
CH AU |
$1,500.00
|
Choice About Uncirculated. A pale lemon yellow example with some light marks found under magnification. A well struck example with the mintmark repunched as is always the case for this variety. |

1845 Brilliant Uncirculated

BU |
$5,250.00
|
- and nearly in the Choice category. Bright lemon-yellow lustre gives this coin its pleasing vital glow. A bold strike gives the coin its razor-sharp devices. The fields are smooth, but a glass finds a trivial mark or two of little consequence. |

1845'D'

VF |
$1,250.00
|
Easily Very Fine or better and retaining quite a bit of mint frost at the peripheries, as well as in the protected areas of the central devices. Smooth and free of any defects that require mention. This date is both very elusive, and highly collectible in the grade range offered here. One of only 19,460 pieces struck. |

1846'D'
|
EF |
$1,750.00
|
Extremely Fine. Deep greenish-gold toning over surfaces that exhibit a few scattered marks. The strike is typical with parts of the design well struck and other areas (the central part of the eagle) are weak. A few light hairlines are present but overall this coin has a reasonable appearance for a coin from this difficult mint. |

BU |
$1,000.00

- and approaching Choice. Splendid deep golden lustre beautifies a bold impression of the dies. The shield is very deeply impressed and displays an indistinct left border. |

1854 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$650.00
|
- and close to Choice. Vibrant gold lustre joins a bold strike. The shield shows fragmentary stripes and its left border merges with the crisply defined eagle. |

1856'C'
|
AU |
$5,000.00
|
About Uncirculated. Some light nicks in the upper left obverse field as well as a general surface granularity are seen. A lamination extends from Miss Liberty's jaw to star one. Light orange-gold toning with plenty of lustre still remaining. One of only 7,913 pieces struck making this issue quite difficult to acquire. |

1856'O'
|
CH AU |
$3,000.00
|
Choice About Uncirculated and very close to full Mint State. Greenish-gold toning over moderately struck surfaces. The lustre is satiny and attractive. A couple of minor rim imperfections on the reverse do not detract much. Very scarce in this wonderful state of preservation. |

BU |
$600.00

1897 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$1,350.00
|
Here is a coin of stunning beauty, boasting subtle contrast of lightly frosted devices and lavishly prooflike, wonderfully mark-free fields. This is an exceptional representative of a Gay Nineties date that is elusive in this rarefied grade. |

1898 Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
SUP GEM BU |
$2,800.00
|
This beautiful little example screams with frosty mint lustre. A forceful strike has boldly imparted even the most minute details. A gorgeous lemon yellow jewel in an early NGC holder. NGC MS66. |

VERY CH BR PF |
$5,000.00

One of 205 Proofs struck. Here is an exceptionally pleasing, high quality example offering a needle-sharp strike highlighted by bold cameo contrast of lightly frosty devices and incredibly deep-mirror fields. A splendid end-of-century example that will reward careful consideration. |

1901 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$1,600.00

GEM BU |
$1,600.00

1907 Very Choice Brilliant Proof
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$6,500.00
|
- a near-Gem of compelling beauty. Lightly frosted reliefs float upon the deepest mirror fields on this outstanding example of a Proof mintage of only 154 pieces. Here is a totally desirable representative of the final Liberty date and the last Brilliant Proof struck before the new Indian design was introduced with its distinctive Matte Proofs that replaced the mirror-field coins struck... more |
