Lot 3744
1910. NGC graded
MS-64. Sharply struck by the dies, with decent luster and color too.
Despite a rather generous mintage, this date is rare in higher grades, in fact
NGC has graded only 83 this high, with 14 graded higher, all MS-65.
Estimated Value $2,200-2,500.
Lot 3745
1910. NGC graded
MS-62. Nicer surfaces than usual for the moderate grade.

Value $325-375.
Lot 3746
1910-D. PCGS graded
MS-63. Deep reddish gold in color over luster, and very pretty overall.

26 higher! In demand by date collectors.

Lot 3747
1911 and 1914. Both
grade EF-40. Lot of 2 coins.
Estimated Value $325-375.
Lot 3748
1911-S. PCGS graded
MS-64 Price. One of the key dates to the Indian Half eagle series, the
1911-S has a large mintage, but obviously few were saved in mint state grades.
This is especially true of the higher grades, where we note the PCGS Population
report as showing 16 graded this high, and only 8 graded higher. Hazy gold
luster and well struck for this date, with a clear mintmark too. One minor
bagmark in the field behind the eagle will help identify this coin, in PCGS
holder #3572517.
Estimated Value $12,500-15,000.
From the T. B.
Price collection.
Lot 3749
1911-S. PCGS graded
MS-62. Nice surfaces and strike on the obverse, the reverse with a touch of
weakness on the upper wing edge, typical of the Mint and period. A rare date
that is hard to find in uncirculated grades.
Estimated Value $1,000-1,250.
Lot 3750
1912. PCGS graded
MS-63. Average luster and a few ticks from a higher grade, and a typical
strike on this coin.
Estimated Value $750-800.
Lot 3751
1913. PCGS graded
MS-64. Scarce this nice, and very rare any better. This one boasts a sharp
strike and rich golden luster. The surfaces are clean for the grade, with
trivial signs of contact mostly in the fields. PCGS has graded 296 this high,
but important just 40 higher, all MS-65 (none higher).
Estimated Value
$2,250-2,500.
Lot 3752
1913. NGC graded
MS-64. Another fine example of this scarce date. The color and surfaces
appear to be a higher grade but for a faint mark from the eagle's neck towards
the left rim on the reverse.
Estimated Value $2,250-2,500.
Lot 3753
1913. PCGS graded
MS-63. Better than most for this grade, with lustrous fields and minimal
handling marks.
Estimated Value $750-800.
Lot 3754
1913. PCGS graded
MS-63. Especially choice for the grade, with excellent surfaces and bright
luster. A sparkler for the date collector.
Estimated Value $700-800.
Lot 3755
1913. PCGS graded
MS-63. Pretty orange gold color and the surfaces are very choice. A problem
free example.
Estimated Value $700-800.
Lot 3756
1915. NGC graded
MS-63. Bright yellow gold with hints of coppery tones deep in the recesses
of the design. A few hairlines from a higher grade.
Estimated Value
$750-850.
Lot 3757
1915. PCGS graded
MS-63. Bright luster and well struck, with trivial lines in the fields from
handling, easily choice condition.
Estimated Value $750-850.
Lot 3758
1915-S. PCGS graded
MS-63. One of the key dates to the half eagle series, the 1915-S is rare in
any grade of choice or above, in fact PCGS has graded only 18 this high with 8
graded higher, all MS-64! This particular one is sharply struck and boasts a
choice orange gold color on both sides. The surfaces are clean for the grade,
and reflect fewer marks than usual for the grade. It is mounted in an old green
insert PCGS holder. All the "S" Mints of this series are scarce, and we note
that shows PCGS Population of just 18 in this grade and 8 higher, all of which
are MS-64. Hence the premium for the condition rarity in this grade.
Estimated Value $6,000-7,000.
Lot 3759
1912 (2 pieces) and 1913.
These each grade EF-40 to 45. Lot of 3 coins.
Estimated Value
$450-500.
