1852 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$190.00 |
Plentiful lustre over lightly toned surfaces. A rim tick at 9:00 on the obverse does not detract that much. |

1853 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated

CH BU |
$750.00 |
A jewel-sharp strike is enriched by the boldly glowing red-gold lustre that saturates both sides of this wholly satisfying coin. PCGS MS63. |

$1,400.00 |
- or virtually so. Delightfully glowing lustre intensifies around this coin's sharply defined devices and reliefs. Light die clash and a wisp of red-gold lustre ''hallmark'' this pleasing, high quality ''Indian Princess'' Gold Dollar. |

1855 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$9,000.00 |
- with the richly lustrous beauty of an even higher grade. This delightful Type II coin's obverse shows a meticulously detailed Liberty head standing out boldly from exceptionally smooth fields. Both sides display die clash, the reverse strike shows typically indistinct 'LL' in DOLLAR and '8' in the date as seen even on the sharpest strikes of this short-lived design. PCGS MS63. |
|
807 |
1855 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$1,000.00 |
- or finer. Superbly struck with a full LIBERTY and bold feather details. Surfaces are fully lustrous and amazingly colorful, with the centers toned in platinum blue and the peripheries bathed in light to orange-gold hues. Close examination under magnification reveals some very subtle hairlines, which fortunately do not detract from this coin's bold visual appeal. |
|
808 |
1855 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$2,500.00 |
- or better. A strong impression of the dies is demonstrated by the full obverse legend. The reverse displays heavy die clash, strong DOLLAR but virtually invisible '8' in the date. This specimen of the second date of James B. Longacre's design will reward close study. NGC MS61. |
|
809 |
1855 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$850.00 |
- or nearly so. This tiny coin displays deep yellow-gold lustre of satisfying depth and is free of actual circulation. Fields show notable die clash with some obverse hairlines, a scratch or two below the wreath tie. |

1856 Slant 5. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$325.00 |
A sharp strike is apparent in both centers and peripheral legends. Dentils and outer rim are a trifle weak at the obverse left and corresponding area of the reverse. Lustrous and pleasing overall. |
|
813 |
1856 Slant 5. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$210.00 |
Light gold toning over clashed dies that are strongly visible on the reverse. A very distinguished example of this first year of the Type III design. |

1860'D'
|
AU |
$5,500.00 |
About Uncirculated and nearly Choice. Winter states that there are about 100 examples still surviving from a paltry mintage of only 1,566 pieces. As is typical the first letters of UNITED are weak. Otherwise, this coin appears to be well struck up and Liberty is full. NGC AU50. |

1864 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
VERY CH BU |
$3,750.00 |
- on the cusp of full Gem. Glorious reflective gold lustre drenches both sides, contrasting with exquisite and delicate red-gold toning that surrounds the crisply defined reliefs. Here is a truly premium quality Type III Dollar in what can only be called exceptional condition. NGC MS64. |

1805 Breen 1

BU |
$22,000.00 |
The only die variety of this date. Brilliant Uncirculated and enjoying fully vibrant, frosty bloom on both the obverse and reverse. Here is a yellow-golden specimen that exudes a rich fiery glow. A shallow, rather well concealed scuff is evident within the vertical reverse shield stripes upon closer examination. The presentation, however, is not inordinately affected in any way.

1843'D' Small D, Crosslet 4
|
CH AU |
$4,100.00 |
Very Choice About Uncirculated. Rich golden color with just a miniscule scrape in front of the nose. Only a touch of high point rubbing and a good deal of mint lustre still present. The feathers on the eagle are fully struck up. PCGS AU58. |

820 |
1846'D'
|
CH AU |
$4,500.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated. Bright surfaces display some mint sheen. With less than a dozen true Uncirculated specimens likely to exist, this should invoke serious interest among the Dahlonega specialists. NGC AU55. |
|
821 |
1846'O'
|
CH AU |
$2,350.00 |
Very Choice About Uncirculated. The strike is typically weak, especially on the reverse. The slightest bit of rubbing with the surfaces still retaining an originality quite on par with the few actual Mint State examples known to exist. NGC AU58. |
|
822 |
1847'C'
|
CH AU |
$3,200.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, on the cusp of Mint State. This boldly struck Charlotte coin's light yellow gold surfaces show minimal evidence of trouble-free circulation. Although this date shows a reasonable mintage, higher grade examples such as this must be called highly elusive. NGC AU58. |
|
823 |
1848'C'
|
CH AU |
$5,000.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, approaching Mint State. This example of a desirable Charlotte date shows apparent softness on the obverse, thanks to the failure of the obverse die at its center. The Liberty head stands out far less boldly than the reverse eagle, as Gold coin researcher David Akers noted when he pointed out the difficulty in finding boldly struck pieces in any grade. NGC AU58. |

1852 Brilliant Uncirculated

BU |
$500.00 |
- with claims to the Choice category. Well struck with decent lustre. A good example of this early Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. |

825 |
1857'S'
|
CH AU |
$2,600.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, a whisper from full Mint State. Pleasing red-gold lustre drenches both sides of this early San Francisco coin, much of whose mintage was exported. Adding to its scarcity in high grade was its release decades before the popularization of collecting by mintmark. NGC AU58. |
|
826 |
1871'S'
|
AU |
$520.00 |
About Uncirculated. Bright surfaces with some reddish areas on the reverse. Well struck with some reflectivity still remaining in the protected areas. A very scarce date with only 22,000 pieces struck. |
|
827 |
1878'S'
|
CH AU |
$180.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, close to Mint State. Plentiful lustre, hints of red-gold toning define this attractive piece. NGC AU58. |

828 |
1893 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$750.00 |
A magnificent cameo-like example of this important date. Fields are fully frosty with bold complete cartwheel reflectivity. Assertive detail testifies to the quality of this coin's strike, making it ideal for any carefully chosen type or specialized collection. |
