1859-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. Nice original toning with a few light surface marks and some on Liberty. A pleasing No Motto Double Eagle this is, and one whose lustrous surfaces exhibit mingled medium reddish gold to light golden color. Well struck too, and fully so, since the stars sho ...

1855-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. 14B Faint S. Some light obverse marks. A nice untoned coin. While Mint State examples are occasionally available through the near-Choice level, they can be expensive, are not unsurprisingly elusive and for the most part aren't all that attractive anyway d ...

1855. PCGS graded AU-58. Lovely golden toning. Lustrous frosty golden surfaces with rich highlights and the bare minimum of marks or hairlines. Nearly full details on the devices as well (1855 tends to be sharply made, unlike some issues in the 1850-66 period). A truly top-end specimen for AU5 ...

1852-O. NGC graded AU-53. Untoned. Very scarce in full Mint State. A desirable O-mint Double Eagle, a coin with original (if lightly worn) surfaces and a strike that is close to complete. Inspection reveals that the present specimen spent a few years of its life in circulation where the fields ...

1850. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and lightly toned. In an old style NGC holder. The Double Eagles, whose net gold content is .9675 of an ounce, actually weigh more than an ounce, because they have a bit of copper alloy in them to make them tough and not easy to damage. At the time they were ...

1861-S. PCGS graded MS-61. Intense, frosty mint luster with soft orange-golden color. A few contact marks are noted on the obverse portrait, otherwise the surfaces are quite clean. This date is often available in lower grades, but considered rare in strictly Uncirculated condition. This exampl ...

1860. NGC graded AU-58. CAC Approved. Struck on a pale green-gold planchet with yellow-gold patina and frosty surfaces. Light wear and a couple of abrasions on the obverse keep this from a higher (Mint State) grade level. With the substantial gold discoveries in California, 1849-1860s, constru ...

1853 S.S. Republic. NGC graded EF-45. Like many No Motto double eagles, this coin was recovered from a recent shipwreck find (the S.S. Republic in this case). The well-detailed design elements show typical wear for the assigned grade and just a few small marks. A desirable example with an inte ...

1851-O. PCGS graded EF-45. A popular issue for mintmarked gold type purposes, the 1851-O double eagle is the most readily obtainable New Orleans Mint issue. The present example is well defined despite the presence of overall light wear which is typical of the assigned grade. Medium honey-gold ...

1866-S. No motto. NGC graded AU-55. Untoned with plenty of frosty mint luster still intact. The year 1866 was a year of transition in silver coins. Patriotic fervor arising out of the trauma of Civil War gave birth to demands for a religious motto to be added to Americas coinage. In 1861, 186 ...

1851-O. PCGS graded AU-55. Mostly untoned with reflective fields on both sides. An especially choice specimen. Indeed, this coin is endowed with luster that almost flies off the surface. Subtle hints of reflective surface as noted and ever so light toning bring out the expansiveness of the str ...

1865-S Brother Jonathan 472. PCGS graded MS-64. Frosty and starting to tone. Ex Brother Jonathan shipwreck group. This frosty, boldly struck $20 likely traces to the hoard of the Brother Jonathan shipwreck that was sold by Bowers and Merena Galleries a few years ago. It is one of the most attr ...

1854-S. PCGS graded MS-62. A lovely BU example exhibiting pinkish-golden frosty mint luster. Slightly matte-like. A tell-tale sign that this example was from the sunken treasure recovered near Anacapa Island off the west coast of central California. Artifacts from the sunken steamer S.S. Yanke ...

1851-O. PCGS graded AU-55. Lots of original mint luster rests with the protected areas of the devices. The 1851-O double eagle is fairly scarce in the context of general American numismatics, but sufficient numbers exist that examples appear on the market from time to time. Of the first three ...
