1858'S'
|
CH AU |
$4,600.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, on the very cusp of full Mint State. Here is an extraordinary early San Francisco coin whose deep red-gold lustre seems to heighten its reliefs to a level suggesting the Pioneer issues of this great center of the Gold Rush a couple of years earlier. A few marks are noted, but these are decidedly trivial compared to this coin's other remarkable qualities. |
|

1861
|
AU |
$575.00 |
Strong About Uncirculated. Faint recutting is seen on the right side of the date. Lustre halos the reliefs, light yellow-gold shows very light wear with some inconspicuous hairlines. |
|
913 |
1871 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$4,900.00 |
- on the cusp of fully Choice. This coin displays dramatic prooflike lustre with exceptional reflectivity. All reliefs and devices are crisply defined, standing out boldly from the gleaming background. A glass reveals scattered hairlines and some small surface marks, fewer than usually seen on these massive Gold coins. Here is an attention-seizing example of the early dates of the Motto... more |

1871'S' Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$3,200.00 |
Frosted reliefs stand out from reflective but lightly frosty fields for an interesting two-tone effect. A few bagmarks are noted in the fields, but in terms of sheer appeal this is an extraordinary example of a date Akers calls ''decidedly rare'' in full Mint State. A premium quality coin that is sure to attract spirited bidding. PCGS MS60. |
|
915 |
1874'CC'
|
AU |
$3,750.00 |
About Uncirculated, on the threshold of fully Choice. Richly glowing canary-yellow lustre is very full on both sides. All reliefs are fully defined and evidence of circulation must be sought with a glass. In terms of overall visual appeal, this coin is in a class of its own, scarcely to be distinguished from Mint State. |
|

EF |
$400.00 |
Extremely Fine. Interesting red-gold lustre accentuates the bold reliefs, a shallow old hairline scratch crosses the upper obverse through 'L' of LIBERTY. |
|
917 |
1875'CC'
|
CH AU |
$1,500.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated and close to full Mint State. Bright lustre concentrates around the sharp reliefs. Actual circulation is light but the fields do bear a scattering of bagmarks and two tiny stains at stars 1, 6 and 7. |
|
918 |
1876'S' Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$650.00 |
Wonderfully robust lemon-yellow lustre saturates both sides of this especially delightful, well-struck example. |
|
919 |
1876'S' Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$630.00 |
Another. Pleasing detail and lustrous surfaces are indeed apparent. A few obverse scuffs keep this coin from a higher status. NGC MS60. |
|
920 |
1890'CC'
|
CH AU |
$1,700.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated. Boldly reflective yellow lustre fills the lightly marked fields, some red-gold appears on the highest points of the design. |
|
921 |
1896'S' Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$500.00 |
- on the threshold of fully Choice. Deep red-gold lustre is substantial on both sides of this sharply struck piece. A flurry of tiny bag marks can be seen on the obverse. PCGS MS62. |
|
922 |
1901'S' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$625.00 |
An exceptional strike joins full and relatively mark-free surfaces to create remarkably high quality. Here is a San Francisco date that is highly elusive in Choice or better. |
|
923 |
1901'S'
|
EF to AU |
$400.00 |
Another. Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated. Bold detail is undeterred by light circulation. Scrutiny with a glass will discover some very faint obverse field lines. |
|
924 |
1904 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$3,750.00 |
Incredibly deep, rich yellow-gold lustre saturates this example of a popular Liberty date. Wonderfully smooth fields complement microscopically exact detail on the head, eagle's feathers, stars and lettering. While not a rare date, 1904 in full Gem is the target for advanced date and type collectors and worthy of a premium bid. NGC MS65. |
|
925 |
1904 Brilliant Uncirculated

BU |

MCMVII (1907) Roman Numeral, High Relief, Wire Rim. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
VERY CH BU |
$22,500.00 |
A strike offering medallic quality dramatizes all fine detail with microscopic exactness and fidelity, including Liberty's face and the capitol building's dome, eagle's head and feet. A rich, deep yellow-gold offers the most subtle hints of green. The extruded fin of gold forming the wire rim is uncommonly sharp and clearly defined on both sides of this breath-taking beauty.

MCMVII (1907) Roman Numeral, High Relief. Partial Wire Rim. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$15,000.00 |
- and virtually in the Choice category. Another. This example of the short-lived High relief coinage offers several extraordinary features. Its strike is so precise as to be virtually medallic and the delicate, all-pervading frosty yellow mint lustre brings softly glowing beauty that places the coin in a category all its own. |
|
940 |
MCMVII (1907) Roman Numeral, High Relief, Wire Rim
|
AU |
$8,750.00 |
A third. About Uncirculated and near-Choice. Wear is most notable on Liberty's form, to a lesser degree on the eagle's wing. Deep satin gold fields offer an appealing glow. NGC AU53. |
