$1 Gold 1855-C, Variety Two PCGS AU50

$1 Gold 1855-C, Variety Two PCGS AU50 Southern branch minted coins from Charlotte, Dahlonega and New Orleans have always been a collectors, as well as, a dealers dream. Highly desirable as a rare, one year issue with a low mintage of 9,803 circulation strikes. Encased in an old, green PCGS holder the coin has great eye appeal! The Type Two variety is distinguishable by the final date in the digit almost entirely below the right base of the A in DOLLAR, as well as, all digits being evenly struck. In contrast, Variety one is noted by the weak eight.

$20 1857-O Gold Double Eagle Liberty, PCGS XF45 CAC

Experts believe there are just around 200 existing specimens of the New Orleans minted twenty in all grades even though the mintage was 30,000 circulation strikes. This figure exceeds the previous year's total by about 28,000 but by no means should the collector believe the 1857 is readily available! Most of the New Orleans minted Double Eagles were produced using gold procured locally, which was limited, and resulted in low mintages. Thus, the O-mint Twenties are highly desirable among collectors and dealers alike. Typical proof-like luster remains visible on about 45% of the fields, with fewer abrasions normally associated with the XF45 grade. Truly an above-average specimen that is CAC stickered as well!

$3 1854 Gold Princess, PCGS MS64

$3 1854 Gold Princess, PCGS MS64. A must-have addition to any type collection, this $3 Princess is an even deep apricot color with none of the dark splotches often associated with the issue. Encased in an old, green PCGS holder and priced to sell at below the Trends of $10,000!

$5 1929 Gold Indian Head, NGC AU58

$5 1929 Gold Indian Head, NGC AU58. The 1929 Half Eagle Indian was the first year since 1916 any $5 gold U.S. coins were produced. It was also the last year in the $5 Indian Head series and the last year the denomination would be minted in the United States until 1986 when the inaugural Gold Eagles were introduced. All of the 662,000 pieces were struck between January and March of 1929, a seemingly astronomical amount considering October 29, 1929 would bring Black Tuesday and the beginning of the Great Depression. It is a numismatic conclusion that most of the mintage never saw circulation and were later melted. In proportion to the mintage, survivors are few and highly prized among the numismatic community.
