Lot 1523
1910-S. NGC graded
MS-65. One of the key dates to the Indian eagle series and nearly
impossible to locate in gem condition. In fact, NGC has only graded a single
coin as MS-65 and 1 coin above. Similar in the PCGS Population Report where we
note just 2 have been graded as MS-65, and 2 graded higher. Frosty luster
throughout, and an exceptional coin for the advanced date collector. There is a
small disturbance before Liberty's mouth in the field, and a small mark above
the eagle's head. A couple of hairlines are noted in the headdress. An
opportunity.
Estimated Value $20,000-30,000.
Lot 1524
1910-S. AU-50.
Light wear on both sides.
Estimated Value $250-300.
Lot 1525
1911. AU-58.
This is one of the old style "mint state with rubbing" grade coins.
Sometimes called "commercial uncirculated". Bottom line, there is some wear on
the high points.
Estimated Value $300-350.
Lot 1526
1911-D. PCGS graded
MS-64. This is the key date to the series, only 30,100 were coined and most
entered circulation. For collectors, this is about the best you can hope to
obtain, only 4 gems (all MS-65) have been graded by PCGS and NGC combined, and
even in this grade, only 8 have qualified at PCGS, 7 more at NGC. Don't pussy
foot around if you need this date, step up and buy it. Mint fresh luster and
clean fields and surfaces on both sides. Note the reddish color on both sides,
otherwise all is fresh and appears in order, just as made that day at the
Denver Mint. Color photo.
Estimated Value $40,000-50,000.
Lot 1527
1911-D. Sharpness
of AU-50 but scratches on Liberty's face. There are several light scratches
on Liberty's face. A scarce issue.
Estimated Value $700-1,000.
Lot 1528
1911-S. MS-60.
One rim mark between the first two stars. Nice luster and surfaces for the
grade, and a scarce issue.
Estimated Value $800-900.
Lot 1529
1912. MS-60.
Bright and fresh.
Estimated Value $325-375.
