1851-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. Winter-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. This is an very well preserved example of the otherwise relatively obtainable 1851-O double eagle. Originally preserved surfaces exhibit attractive color and nearly full mint luster. The strike is superior by early New Orleans Mint standards. Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, and offering outstanding eye appeal, this impressive coin would serve as a highlight in an advanced double eagle set or Southern gold collection. After a modest mintage of 141,000 pieces in 1850, the New Orleans Mint increased double eagle output to 315,000 coins in 1851. Clearly more gold from California reached the Crescent City, and the 1851-O actually has the highest mintage among New Orleans Mint double eagles. Perhaps not surprisingly, this is the most frequently encountered O-Mint double eagle. Survivors are scarce in an absolute sense, however, and particularly relative to those of many Philadelphia Mint issues of the era such as the 1851, 1852 and 1853. As with all early date Liberty Head double eagle issues, the 1851-O is typically offered in circulated grades, most examples grading EF-40 through low end AU. Mint State survivors are exceedingly rare, most of which have survived purely as a matter of chance. There was no contemporary numismatic interest in these early double eagles, especially from the New Orleans Mint. The significance of this near-Mint offering for the advanced gold enthusiast can hardly be overstated.

This is a lovely example with highly lustrous, satin-textured surfaces that are remarkably smooth for the assigned grade. Vivid rose-orange patina is also a strong suit, as are devices that exhibit sharp to full definition from the dies. Though nearly 1.2 million examples of this issue were produced, survivors are surprisingly scarce in Mint State. The recovery of 1,085 examples from the wreck of the S.S. Central America somewhat increased availability, though less than 500 pieces are likely to exist across all Uncirculated grades. The present offering is surely among the more attractive examples of this desirable Type I Liberty Head double eagle issue, appealing to both coin collectors and shipwreck enthusiasts. Provenance: Ex S.S. Central America. CAC

1859-S Double Eagle, MS62 Only One Certified Finer 1859-S $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1859-S had an original mintage of 636,445 pieces but, as one would expect from an early S-mint double eagle, most of the surviving examples are only usually found in VF or XF. Probably no more than three dozen Uncirculated coins are known with 14 other MS62 PCGS-certified pieces, seven graded by NGC, and just one finer (11/18). This is a lovely coin that is certainly at the upper end of the stated grade. The original surfaces exude bright golden-rose and lilac patina with strong underlying mint luster. Sharply struck throughout with no reportable abrasions. From The Coco Collection. (Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 269C, PCGS# 8928)

1865-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Ex: Brother Jonathan 679. The S.S. Brother Jonathan foundered on rocks off the California coast on July 30, 1865. The shipwreck location was discovered in 1993, and recovery of its bounty took place in 1996. The 1865-S was formerly rare in Mint State, but a few hundred Uncirculated examples from the shipwreck appeared on the market in 1999. The present coin is nicer than most, since it provides appealing orange-gold color and is uncommonly void of abrasions. The fields are clashed, and the strike is crisp. Ex: S.S. Brother Jonathan (Bowers and Merena, 5/1999), lot 644; Carril Valpairso Collection / August ANA (Stack's, 8/2017), lot 2222; Regency Auction XXIII (Legend, 10/2017), lot 510.(Registry values: N2998) From The Buddy Liles Collection of U.S. Gold Coins, Part III. The SS Brother Jonathan was a Civil War Era steamship sailing north from San Francisco, carrying 244 passengers and crew, and a large treasure of gold coins freshly minted at the San Francisco mint. On July 30, 1865, the steamer hit rough seas, smashed and capsized the lifeboats, leaving a single surfboat, with 11 crew members, 5 women and 3 children, that managed to escape the wreck safely. Only 19 of 244 passengers survived. Numerous acts of courage and desperation, fear, and self-sacrifice were reported. Besides the tragic loss of life, there were also many gold coins lost with a market value today valued at more than $50 million.

Frosty Western Gold Piece 1876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 3-A. Die attribution markers include the 1 in the date over a dentil, the 7 centered over the space between dentils, and the right edge of the second C in the mintmark aligned with the left edge of the second T in TWENTY. The 1876-CC double eagle is a plentiful Type Two Carson City issue, the last of this design. Bright mint frost shines from surfaces that show superficial grazes and small abrasions, with yellow-gold color throughout. Most design elements are sharp, the forecurls and reverse stars being a couple of exceptions. Considerably finer than the typical AU survivor. From The "So Cal" Collection.

1883-CC Double Eagle, MS62 Excellent Luster and Color The 1883-CC double eagle is generally available in most grades, but one look at the certified population figures reveals tremendous conditional rarity in MS62 and finer levels. We have previously handled only a dozen coins in MS62 or MS62+, including at least one reappearance of the same coin. Heritage has not offered a finer example since 2004, and we are not aware of a finer coin being offered at auction anywhere since 2009.This rare MS62 coin displays sharp detail and minimally abraded, satiny surfaces with vibrant cartwheel luster. Rich orange-gold color is especially pleasing. Population: 24 in 62 (1 in 62+), 4 finer (5/18).(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 26BH, PCGS# 8999)

1893-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 2-A. The 1893-CC Liberty double eagle claims a small final-year mintage of 18,402 pieces. The issue is surprisingly available in lower grades, and can only be called scarce at the MS62 grade level, but finer coins are rare. This impressive MS62 example exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout. A spike extends from the base of Liberty's neck and a die crack shows through the letters TAT in STATES. The lightly marked yellow and rose-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster from both sides. The overall presentation is quite attractive.

This impressive MS62 example exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout. A spike extends from the base of Liberty's neck and a die crack shows through the letters TAT in STATES. The lightly marked yellow and rose-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster from both sides. The overall presentation is quite attractive. PCGS has graded only 25 numerically finer examples (12/20).(Registry values: N2998
1899 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). Rich golden honey accents are scattered amongst pinkish and medium-gold hues throughout this lustrous near-Gem.

With smooth fields and a vacancy of distractions, this piece is decidedly choice for the assigned grade. PCGS# 9035. NGC ID: 26CM. Provenance: From the Magnolia Collection.

Handsome deep gold patina adorns lustrous, smartly impressed features. With a mere 31,140 pieces produced, the 1902 boasts the lowest mintage of any circulation strike Liberty Head double eagle coined during the 20th century. Q. David Bowers in his 2004 Guide Book of Double Eagles gives an estimate of 1,000 to 1,500 Mint State survivors or possibly more. A comparatively scarce issue in MS-62 and higher grades, the relatively low mintage adds considerable appeal. Interestingly, most old-time numismatic collections lacked a Mint State coin for the 1902 double eagle. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. CAC

1905 Twenty Dollar, MS63 Scarce Issue in Mint Condition 1905 $20 MS63 PCGS. Garrett and Guth note for this issue: "Most of the coins seen have been plucked from gold shipments that have returned to the United States in recent years. The average coin grades AU-58 to MS-61. Choice examples of the date are very rare, and none are known at the gem level." This Select example splits the difference; it is clearly a desirable coin on a higher tier than the more commonly seen AU58 or MS61 pieces, yet it is not at a stratospheric price point as is seen with the few known finer examples. A blush of rose color visits wheat and orange-gold surfaces that are immensely lustrous. Strongly struck with just a few abrasions, such as those on Liberty's brow and below the chin, that preclude an even finer designation. Population: 72 in 63 (2 in 63+), 14 finer (11/21).
