THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION PART II Ex Simpson/Hall. With only 10,000 minted, the 63-S eagle is an VERY RARE date in all grades, and most survivors are in lower circulated grade. PCGS CoinFacts estimates 47 survive, other estimates are similar, in the 40-60 range. Today, only three have ever graded Mint State two PCGS and one NGC, all MS61. This is a CHOICE quality XF example. Light problem free wear is seen on both sides. Traces of original semi-PL luster is retained in the protected areas of the design elements. The devices show generally good definition. There are a few marks scattered about, but the surfaces are not hacked up. The eye appeal is quite nice for the grade. While the war raged on, numismatics was a popular pursuit among well healed individuals. Rare coin auctions took place a regular intervals in big cities, conducted by firms like G.W. Beckford & Co, A.J. Bleecker, William Butters, Edward Cogan, Henry Cook, J.E. Cooley, Draper & Morse, Gibson & Co, Gilbert & Sampson, Samuel Hatch, S.G. Hubbard, George A. Leavitt, Henry H. Leeds, Joseph Leonard & Co., D.F. McGilvray, James C. McGuire, Alfred S. Robinson, Francis J. Sheldon, William Harvey Strobridge, M. Thomas, William L. Wall, and W. Elliot Woodward. While most of these names seem obscure to most collectors, some of these names, like Cogan and Woodward are more familiar to the current generation. Colonial coins and early American medals (especially those related to George Washington) were the among the most popularly collected numismatic items. PCGS 7, NGC 7. Note that none of these are CAC approved. The most recent PCGS XF45 sold for $14,100 in our February 2014 Regency Auction. Since then, two NGC XF45s have sold (both in 2014 as well) realizing $15,275 and $18,800. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $18,500 and this coin should bring a premium bid. A coin destined for an advanced collection. Cert. Number 29583051 PCGS # 8638.00
