LOT 274 149 $5 1834 CLASSIC, PLAIN 4. PCGS MS64 CAC A glorious essentially GEM Classic Head $5! What a rare delight to be able to offer a stone bold original example of thistype that usually does not come with any sort of eye appeal or inhigh grade. This coin has both! Brilliant golden orange coloration is enlivened by a bold original mint bloom. The devices are verywell struck, showing full definition in Ms. Liberty’s hairlines andin the details of the eagle’s wing feathers. Aside from a stray lineor two that you do need a strong loupe to see, there is nothing to mar the surfaces or distract the eye.The Classic Head series is a transitional type. The old tenor types (struck prior to 1834) by this point contained more value in precious metal than was stamped on the coin leading many of these coins to be be exported and melted for the specie. An act of Congress, passed in 1834 changed that--reducing the weight to prevent the export. It was a short series, lasting only until1839 when Christian Gobrecht’s Coronet or Liberty Head series was introduced. It is a completable set, no one date is extremely rare (although some are condition rarities), and with patiencecan be completed--the challenge is to find coins that match this near-GEM’s stunning originality and high end eye appeal.

LOT 275 $5 1836 NGC MS65 An exceptional GEM Classic Head $5, and a coin that is among the FINEST graded not just for the date, but the type! A very eye appealing example of William Kneass’s short lived design. A bold cartwheel luster rolls over satiny textured fields and razor sharp struck devices. Close inspection does reveal a few tiny breaks in the frost and minor contact, but you do need a loupe to see these. By the time this coin was struck, the obverse die had shattered, with a bisecting crack that comes up from the lower obverse rim between the 8 and 3 and intersects another from the rim at star 3 that goes across the nose to the hair curls above the eye, crossing the E in LIBERTY and extending to the rim at 1:00. PCGS 2, NGC 1. For the TYPE, NGC has graded 10 coins as MS65, with a mere 4 finer. The most recent NGC MS65 of ANY date to sell (keep in mind this coin has never sold in any auction) was a much more common 1834 (pop 7) in March 2013, where it realized $44,000.

When you consider that this coin sat for well over a century at the bottom of the ocean, its preservation is even more remarkable. The surfaces are incredibly smooth devoid of all but the most insignificant tiny tick or two. It was thanks to the S.S. Central America shipwreck that any Type 1 double eagles exist in GEM grades. Historically important, the loss of the gold cargo exacerbated the financial Panic of 1857, which was one of the economic factors that led to the sectarian differences that led to the Civil War.   PCGS 136, NGC 0, CAC 36. Only 4 CAC-approved examples have sold in auction since 2012, all selling in the $30,000- $35,000 and the current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $35,000.

Remnants of the original paper backing remains on the otherwise blank reverse. Very pleasing, remarkably well preserved for such a thin piece of soft metal. There are no stray scuffs or serious marks or even anylines that can be seen. Well struck with all details nicely embossed. PCGS 1, NGC 0. This coin is absolutely UNIQUE in private hands! The Judd Plate coin, this coin’s provenance is: ex Empire Coin Co Mail Bid Sale #1, November 1958, lot 103; Stack’s sale of the Herbert Oeschner Collection, September 1988, lot246; Superior’s Session of Auction’89, lot 943; Boyd E.

LOT 345 $1 1836 J-65. RESTRIKE PCGS PR64+ CAC Likely struck in the 1850s, the J-65 features Christian Gobrecht’s Seated Liberty figure without stars with C.Gobrecht F. on thestone base. The flying eagle reverse is without stars and the eagle flies even. Struck in Die Alignment III on a Silver planchet with a plain edge. The J-65 is Extremely Rare, rated a full R-8 with five known in all grades. The presently offered GEM has a great, totally original look. Sold in the March 2017 sale of the Blue Moon Collection, it was described as:“Magnificent and multicolored, this example ranks among the finest survivors of this rare variety. It combines extraordinary quality with extraordinary rarity. A sunset prism of color surrounds the obverse device, contrasting with mottled deeper gray and pale lilacon the reflective fields. The reverse is a subtler and more even blend of pastel violet and gold. Both sides are very sharply struck and exhibit excellent visual appeal. A long but densely curled lintmark gathers between Liberty’s knee and bent elbow, only the most notable of several significant lintmarks scattered over the obverse. The present hairlines are minor, and no major marks are seen. A substantial area of raised die rust is noted in front of Liberty’s face. This example also shows a very crisp low spot, caused by astruck-through remnant on the die, below the right side of F of OF. The DTS die state nomenclature has been pegged to this exact specimen, identifying this coin as the definitive Die State A with strong low spot. Later strikes show this depression diminished. The starless reverse employed on this reverse was first used in 1838; this variety was not coined until 1869 at the earliest and perhaps not until the early 1870s. Research by Saul Teichman has traced only five examples, one of which is impounded in the collection of the American Numismatic Society. The only finer specimen is currently in the Simpson Collection. This one has not been sold in nearly 25 years.” All we can add is a this coin really is a mega WOW! The Simpson coin is beautiful-but this coin has far more color and flash! Its provenance is wonderful as well having been part of the famed Reed Hawn Collection (sold October 1993) and Blue Moon. In the Hawn catalog, they note “Very rare: we have records of only three specimens: 1952 ANA, Stack’s October 1967, and theGarrett coin.” The Garrett coin latere appered in the L.K Rudolph Collection, bought by Dr. Julius Korein (the example now in theANS). The 1952 ANA coin is now the coin in the Simpson Collection. A PR65 sold in Goldberg’s June 2004 sale, said to be off themarket since the 1920s and is also now impounded in the Simpson Collection. A patch of color around the date helps plate match this to the Stack’s October 1967 Charles Jay sale, where it sold as lot 172. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. We can NOT stress enough how rare this coin is. With the Simpson PR 65 locked up probably forever, this is the finest example that ever will be offered. The ONLY reason it is for sale-our partner Bruce Morelan was going to buy it and his interest got derailed by a little 1804 $1! We just can’t put this wonder GEM away! The last line in the October 1967 description is as valid today as it was fifty years ago, and a fitting quote here: “Of EXTREME RARITY and should attract considerable bidding” PCGS# 11249 | EST: $140,000+LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM 181

PCGS# 60512 | EST: $3,000+ PCSG 1, NGc 1, CAC 1. It is critical to note, that there is only one higher-the PR66 Simpson coin. There is no pricing published for this coin.

PCGS PR64 CAM CAC Ex Harry Bass Collection.James Longacre’s Indian Princess seated with globe, flag, holding a pole mounted with Liberty Cap is struck in seemingly high relief, paired with the reverse of regular issued proof dollars. Struck in silver with a plain edge, this pattern is listed as R-7- with 7-12 thought known.This is one of two coins PCGS has graded in CAMEO, the only other is the slightly finer PR64+ in the Simpson Collection. Spectacular deep mirrors really explode from all over. They have remarkable clarity, cleanliness, and are loaded with flash. There are more lines on the holder of this coin then on the coin! Themirrors are better than most we’ve seen on regular Seated Dollar Proofs. A wicked cool looking outline of totally original reddish gold frames all the devices. Miss Liberty and every detail almost look like they were sculpted and are 3-D in appearance. The eye appeal is phenomenal! Harry Bass purchased this coin from Kagin’s “Sale of the 70’s”, November 1973, lot 1351. It was then offered in Bowers & Merena’s May 1999 offering of the Harry Bass Collection, lot 1262. Since then it has appeared several times, in the original PCGS holder from the Bass sale, which did not designate it a CAMEO.PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. The other one is the PR64+ mentioned above that is in the Simpson Collection. This coin has a bold visual appeal and provenance that is hard to improve upon!
