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. |

1878'S'

$180.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, close to Mint State. Plentiful lustre, hints of red-gold toning define this attractive piece. NGC AU58. |
