Est. $270-350 SE

1845-O Liberty Re-Punched Date PCGS AU50. This is the re-punched date variety with an extra 4 and 5 showing clearly under the main digits of the date. In their text on gold coins, authors Garrett & Guth describe the 1845-O eagle as " . . . . very rare in AU condition, with Mint State examples exceedingly rare." (Of 168 total 1845-O Eagles graded by PCGS, only 6 are in mint state.) The PCGS website shows the value of the re-punched date variety at $4,250; Greysheet AU50 bid is $4,000). Interestingly, the last auction record for one in AU50 is from Feb 2018 where one sold for an astonishing $5,760, making our estimates for the lot appear quite conservative. Whatever the true value, this lot represents an offering that is not likely to be repeated any time in the near future. If your tastes are in rare gold coins, here's an opportunity. (Note: This was lot 160 in DCA Sale #16 held in April 2021. The coin hammered then for $3,400.) (Image)

Est. $3,000-3,500 SE

1868 NGC AU53. All eagles of the 1860s are scarce - uncirculated examples are rare. This issue boasts a mintage of only (10,630) and they are seldom offered for sale. Similar to the previous lot, this is another great chance to acquire a very scarce gold coin. (Image)

Est. $1,900-2,200 SE

1895 Liberty NGC MS62 (Image)

Est. $850-1,050 SE

1910 Indian PCGS MS63. Pleasing original. (Image)

Est. $1,200-1,400 SE

1857 Liberty F+ attractive for the grade. The wear indicates that small gold saw quite a bit of use in commerce in the 1850s. A scarce issue AU and above. Authors Garrett & Guth recommend that if you want to purchase a circulated Liberty Quarter Eagle, look for an older one with some numismatic premium such as the one offered here. (Image)

Est. $340-400 SE

1908 Indian PCGS AU58. A nice coin for the grade. The shoulder feathers on the eagle are always weak on the 1908 issues. (Image)

Est. $330-380 SE

1857-S Liberty PCGS XF45. Nice original and a great example of the Type 1 style. Circulated examples of this date are likely to be overshadowed by the many thousands of uncirculated pieces that were recovered from the wreck of the SS Central America. The story of that wreck, the huge loss of gold bullion that resulted, and the impact the incident had on the economy for years thereafter is fascinating reading. (Image)

Est. $1,700-2,000 SE

1897 Liberty PCGS MS62 (Image)

Est. $1,650-1,900 SE

1924 St Gaudens PCGS MS63 (Image)

Est. $1,700-1,900 SE

1926 St Gaudens NGC MS62. Original NGC "old fatty" or "soap bar" holder. Lustrous and attractive. (Image)

Est. $1,650-1,850 SE

1927 St Gaudens PCGS MS64 strong eye-appeal. (Image)

Est. $1,700-1,900 SE

1874 nice AU perhaps a little better. The third most "common" $3, great for type. (Image)

Est. $925-1,100 SE

1853 Liberty AU. Original and attractive especially considering that gold circulated widely during this period of US history. (Image)

Est. $525-600 SE

1871-S Liberty NGC XF40. As with all of the other S-Mint Half Eagles of the 1860s and 1870s, they are seldom offered for sale - in any grade. And when they are offered they are usually well worn as gold from San Francisco circulated extensively. 1871-S is virtually unknown in mint state, and nice circulated pieces appear under-priced at current levels. This lot creates an opportunity to acquire a truly scarce coin. PCGS shows only 108 submissions of this date (in all grades) and surely many of these were RE-submissions. (Image)

Est. $850-1,000 SE

1879-S Liberty NGC MS61. Beautiful color and luster. A couple small gouges at the 9 of the date o/w it would undoubtedly have graded higher. (Image)

Est. $525-625 SE

(37) mixed Indian & Lincoln low grade but does incl many better s/a 1864-L, (8) in the 1866 // 1878 date span, a 1908-S Indian, plus a few early S-Mint Lincolns. Great fillers if you have the need. (Image)

Est. $160-200 B

(17) Quarters 1836 // 1927-D w/ dup incl multiple 1917 Type 1 Liberty Standing. Largely low grades (some damaged) but original and potentially good fillers. (Image)

Est. $100-125 LE

$30 face Halves 1965 // 1969-D most circ, a few unc. (Image)

Est. $135-165 B

$40 face Halves 1965 // 1969-D most circ, a few perhaps unc. (Image)

Est. $175-220 B

$50 face Halves 1965 // 1969-D most circ, a few unc. (Image)

Est. $220-280 B

(12) Halves incl Franklin 1957 & 1958, plus (10) 1964 Kennedy all MS63 or better w/ beautiful natural toning - some lighter, some darker. (Naturally toned coins can usually be distinguished from those that have chemically-enhanced color that has been "baked on." Watch out for coins that have vibrant color that is almost too hard to believe - the coin chemists can create almost any look they want.) (Image)
