Wonderfully original look on this 1715 German "Wildman" which is well struck and above average quality. About Uncirculated condition and with a growing appreciation of these world coins makes for an interesting future ahead we think
865577 1715-HH Thaler KM-739 Dav-2126, About uncirculated 50, appears choice. Only 2 of these THaler coins are graded by PCGS in AU-50 and 1 additional coin graded MS-61 making a total of 3 coins graded of this Germany Thaler. What would an early dollar minted in the USA be valued at in AU-50 and what would a fair population be?

1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel - 1918/7-D Buffalo 5C NGC MS64. Considered to be true Americana this famous Buffalo Nickel Overdate is among the 20th Centuries most prized numismatic treasures. NGC shows a mere 14 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel in MS64, not including how many resubmissions as the NGC price guide shows $87,500 in MS-64 and a jump to $161,500 in MS-64+ and over a quarter of a million dollars at $265,000.00 in MS-65. We think our 1918/7-D in MS-64 is a great value at $75,000.More

In very recent history an MS-67 CAC 1796 Dime brought $881,000.00+ at auction. This is a Great early American coin. Around the same time that coin was being sold, we had an MS-66 specimen of the 1796 Draped Bust Dime on our website which we thought was a good price at $135,000.00. This coin was spotted and purchased by The American Independence Collection, a pedigreed collection of early American rarities. Here is a glorious example of the 1796 Dime graded by PCGS as MS-63 for what we think is a great buy on a top grade early bust dime of any kind, especially a 1796.....do you remember who was President then?More

All early quarter eagles are rare. You would need very deep pockets and go long on patience and time if you were to set your goals on assembling an early quarter eagle collection. Yours truly helped a client in South Carolina several years ago take on the challenge which only got 75% of the way to completion and was still a multi-million dollar collection when sold at ANR auctions. It was called The Charleston Collection for any of you researchers. The earlies are quite challenging which brings us tothe present specimen which is a dandy and looks even better in hand then it does in the pictures. In its population report, NGC shows only 3 1798 quarter eagles certified at the Choice AU55 grade level. They do not distinguish quarter eagles by die variety. This would also make a great coin individually, as part of an early gold type set, a quarter eagle type set as an investment, an heirloom of numismatic importance.More

This eye-appealing, premium quality early 1797 Eagle shows bright mint luster shimmering within its devices. The strike is bold, especially in the central portion of the coin on both sides. We see full hair details on Liberty and sharp details on the shield and eagle. The dentils are strong on both sides as well. The surfaces are clean for the grade with no distractions worthy of individual mention. Sufficient separation in the lines of Liberty’s hair and drapery exists to warrant the grade, which could have even been a few points higher on this outstanding piece.More

The only variety for the year. Certainly a low-mintage date, although this date is usually considered to be the most available issue for this type. A further confirmation of the early strike this particular coin received from these dies are the moderate prooflike fields. While prooflike characteristics are not uncommon on early gold coinage, it adds a vibrant twist to the present coin. Together with the light yellow color and vibrant luster it gives the surfaces the look of a coin which was minted recently, and not 200+ years ago.More

GEM ULTRA CAMEO. With its original mintage of only 122 total, the 1894 Proof quarter eagle is rare in all conditions. NGC shows 2 1894 quarter eagles in PF66+ UCAM with 1 higher. As expected for an ultra cameo, the coin exhibits lustrous, satiny devices over deep mirrored fields. The mark on Liberty’s chin, called a “wart” by Breen, and the ultra cameo finish are both indicative of an early strike, which is impeccable in the detail that is shown on both sides. No significant individual marks or hairlines are visible to the unaided eye.More

1824/1 Quarter Eagle, 1824/1 Capped Bust $2.50 NGC MS62. Of great rarity and importance, this Mint-State Capped Head quarter eagle is among the finest known of the date.

Judd-60 Restrike. Just 1 graded higher at PCGS.

Very Scarce and in-Demand. Here’s one of the key dates to the early $10 Eagle series and a monumental rarity, 13 Star Reverse. The specimen here is superbly struck with lovely surfaces. This is the final year of the early gold eagles, and the last year this denomination was struck until 1838. Rare in all grades, and increasingly popular, this specimen that we offer here is highly collectible, compare with the MS-63 we sold in 2014 @ 165K and the MS-63+ that sold at Stacks Bowers last week for $450,000.00.

1806/5 Draped Bust $2.50 NGC MS60. 7x6 Stars. Only 480 Struck. Very rare. This early date rare mint state 1806/5 Quarter Eagle has an unusually sharp strike with bright mint luster within its devices. It is tied for the second finest at NGC and tied for finest at PCGS. The almost cameo appearance is a result of lightly outlined devices that are set against a darker background. No wear is seen, as expected for a mint state coin, and the surfaces are original, clean, and free of distractions worthy of mention. Unlike most coins of this type that have light striking in one area or another, this piece is well struck on both sides. Full details are seen on Liberty’s hair, the centers of the stars, the shield, the stars above the eagle, and the clouds.
