1889 (Type 3) MS60+. Attractive and well-struck for a $1 gold. (Image)

Est. $430-500 SE

1849 Liberty XF. A nice no-problem example of the pre-1866 "No Motto" design. (Image)

Est. $975-1,150 SE

1894 Liberty MS60 or perhaps a bit better. (Image)

Est. $900-1,050 SE

1926 Indian NGC MS62 (Image)

Est. $1,100-1,250 SE

1836 Classic Head VF detail but hammered down or smoothed likely from use as jewelry. Evidence of jump ring removal at K12. May still serve as a low-grade type. (Image)

Est. $210-250 SE

1844-C XF. Charlotte gold is very scarce in all grades, the 1844-C has a mintage of only 11,622 and most were heavily used in the channels of commerce. The rev is a bit weaker than the obv typical of the issue. Garrett and Guth note that "this date is of extremely poor quality w/ weak feather detail on the rev giving the appearance of wear even on coins with little or no circulation." The coin may have been lightly polished but it is still quite acceptable. A significant opportunity for those interested in rare gold. (Image)

Est. $1,850-2,200 SE

1852 Liberty AU lightly polished still very nice. (Image)

Est. $450-550 SE

1854 Liberty XF+ detail. A jewelry piece - has a 2mm hole at K12 w/ a 14k jump ring and small chain attached. The entire ensemble contains approx .29 ozt AGW. (Image)

Est. $500-600 SE

1874-CC PCGS XF40. Nice original. One of the more available "CC" double eagles if there is such a thing. However, most examples are heavily worn, and AU+ and low-grade Unc coins are decidedly rare. At XF40, the present coin represents a good combination of quality and price. (Image)

Est. $2,900-3,350 SE

1900 Liberty NGC MS60 (Rev is MS63.) (Image)

Est. $1,750-1,950 SE

1903 Liberty PCGS MS63. Nice eye-appeal. Rev is 64. (Image)

Est. $1,850-2,100 SE

1927 St Gaudens PCGS MS64. Nice coin for the grade. Rev is closer to 65. Inspect! (Image)

Est. $1,850-2,100 SE

1928 St Gaudens NGC MS63. Nicer than many graded MS64. (Image)

Est. $1,850-2,050 SE

1855 NGC XF45. The first 5 in the date is often weak on this issue, but on this coin, the date is very boldly impressed. (Image)

Est. $950-1,150 SE

1813 Capped Bust F+ detail w/ rim damage above Liberty's head consistent with mount or jump ring removal. The damage on this coin is typical of circulated examples of gold coins of the era. All Capped Bust Half Eagles are scarce and rarely offered at auction. Despite the imperfections, the present coin represents an affordable example of a very scarce early type. (Image)

Est. $1,800-2,500 SE

1846-O Liberty Good. Garrett & Guth note that this issue is a serious condition rarity w/ most examples well-worn. The present coin certainly attests to that fact. It may be valuable as a curiosity in that it is rare to encounter a gold coin with as much natural wear as this one has. Inspect! (Image)

Est. $500-650 SE

1880 Liberty NGC AU58. In an early small-font NGC holder w/ a 6-digit serial (certified ca. late 1980s), this coin would likely grade higher if certified today. (Image)

Est. $500-600 SE

1881 Liberty MS60 frosty and attractive w/ a semi-prooflike rev. (Image)

Est. $420-480 SE

1882-CC VF original. One of the more "common" Carson City issues in relation to others but still quite scarce in an absolute sense. Most CC half eagles saw extensive use in commerce as illustrated by the present example. Still a nice coin. (Image)

Est. $750-1,000 SE

1900 Liberty MS60 w/ lovely light original toning. (Image)

Est. $420-480 SE

1911-S Indian NGC AU55. A beautiful "dirty" original. (Image)

Est. $600-750 SE
