Lot 2961		1795 $10 Capped Bust. 13 leaves. . BD-5, Taraszka-5, Breen-6830. NGC graded MS-64. Rarity 5. Set in NGC holder with certification number 1951316-002. Well struck and intensely lustrous with semi-reflective frosty mint surfaces throughout. Date is widely spaced on this variety (one of four 13 leaf varieties of 1795), with the bust over the tip of the 5, star 11 away from Y. On the reverse, the leaf tip furthest from U of UNITED and pointed to its left side. These are the keys to identification of BD-5. The coin itself is very carefully struck and retains all of its pleasing original luster. Lending further to the unimpeachable eye appeal is the semi reflective quality on both sides. In Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties by John W. Dannreuther, estimated mintages are given for each variety, and as a bonus to prospective buyers, the number of survivors for each variety: "BD-5 is the second scarcest variety among the five of 1795 with perhaps 35 to 45 examples still extant." Only a few examples remain in Mint State grades, enough so that collectors of means will have a reasonable chance of obtaining a choice specimen of the small eagle reverse design given patience and close attention to the occasional auction sale offerings. A fair number of the Mint quality survivors have prooflike fields, much as this coin does. We cannot fail to see this coin becoming anything other than the highlight of a major rarities collection. Because 1795 is the initial issue of the denomination, the importance of this handsome Mint State 64 example will be established for all eternity. Pop 4; 1 finer in 65 (PCGS # 8551) .

Lot 2962		1797 $10 Capped Bust. Small eagle. NGC graded MS-63. In NGC holder 1562003-001. Mostly well struck on a remarkably clean planchet and shimmering with luster. Medium golden-yellow with some faint hairlines seen only under magnification. Only 55-65 known in all grades. With the exception of the 1795 9 leaf, this is the rarest small eagle $10.00 and is a candidate for finest known. The early Small Eagle $10 gold pieces are some of the most prized acquisitions in all of numismatics. The Small Eagle type is narrowly confined to just three dates but within that range are several intriguing die varieties, and there really is only one date that can be considered available, the 1795. The Small Eagle ten dollar pieces were struck in 1795, 1796, and 1797, but the mintage was probably produced only from September 1795 until June 1797. The 16 stars on the obverse of the 1797 eagle are arranged 12 and four. LIBERTY is positioned from just to the right of the peak of Liberty's cap to adjacent to the bridge of her nose. The mintage was 3,615, making this date the scarcest of the three Small Eagle years. A single die variety has the obverse with a fine a die break crossing from the rim through the final 7 in the date and upwards into the bust on all known examples. Another die break extends into the field from the rim below the last star on the right. The present example boasts beautiful rich luster whose vibrancy is barely diminished by the faint hairlines already noted. Beautiful and rare. Pop 1, none finer at NGC (PCGS # 8555) .

Lot 2963		1797. Large Eagle BD-2 Rarity 4+. NGC graded AU-58. "Chicken Neck." Well struck on a problem-free planchet and light golden in color. When the quarter eagle went into production for the first time, in 1796, it bore the same obverse as on the eagle and half eagle, but a new reverse, generally known as the heraldic eagle. It bears a somewhat more full-bodied eagle than on the small eagle design. The eagle gazes to the left on the new design and holds in its beak a ribbon inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM, a Latin phrase connoting One Among Many. A shield is mounted on the eagle's breast. The eagle holds a bundle of arrows in its right talons (the viewer's left) and an olive branch in its left talons, and is similar to that found on the Great Seal of the United States. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircles the design, as on the small eagle 1797. A semicircle of clouds stretches from wing to wing, with 13 stars positioned between the clouds and the eagle in arrangements that vary from die to die. Mint engraver Robert Scot's new reverse was introduced on the Eagle in mid-1797, so coins of this year are found with both reverse design types. The estimated mintage of the 1797 capped bust, heraldic eagle $10 is 10,940. The long thick necked eagle is a little known subvariety of the Large Eagle type of 1797. It has a different style eagle which makes it akin to a transitional reverse between the tall and short necked varieties. Because these devices were hubbed, the first reverse punch may have been modified to create this subvariety. The long thick neck eagle is unique to this variety, as are the other two eagles for BD-2 and BD-3. Highly lustrous and very choice, indeed one would say this is a superb AU58 specimen, the kind of quality that is ideal for the connoisseur of early Capped Bust gold. Pop 59. (PCGS # 8559) .

Lot 2964		1799 $10 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-64. Very well struck on an adjustment free planchet. Intensely lustrous and untoned. We note some faint hairlines scattered about in the unprotected areas. The 1799 BD-10 Large Stars is the final and most available of all varieties of 1799 Eagle. This should come as no surprise to specialists since the 37,449-piece mintage for this date is quite generous by the standards of this series. When one stops to consider that only an tiny fraction of early U.S. gold coins made survive today, then this die marriage can only be considered "available" in an absolute sense. This elusive nature is further augmented when viewed in terms of market availability, for Capped Bust Right Eagles of all issues, and particularly those of 1799 and 1801, enjoy strong demand among gold type collectors. A satisfyingly beautiful early Eagle, this fully Choice representative possesses rich, brilliant original-looking color. Pale greenish undertones and strict gold highlights compete for dominance as the viewer rotates the coin under a light. Satiny luster is the key here, and it is seen throughout, the reverse field also revealing full brightness at all viewing angles. We have nothing negative to say about the strike; on the contrary, both sides are nicely centered with suitably bold, sharp devices. Perhaps one could make the complaint that the second cloud from the right is flat (due to its position opposite a high point of the obverse design) but this would be hypercritical. With none but the most trivial abrasions, this overall smooth-looking coin will easily form the centerpiece of any high-quality type set. Pop 44; 7 finer. Several events of note in the year 1799: Congress suspended all trade with France and her colonies. The frigate Constellation captured the French sailing ship Insurgente. In March 1799, President John Adams appointed William Varns Murray to be the new Minister to France. Murray headed a peace commission which ended hostilities with France. Also this year, on December 14, George Washington died of a severe throat infection, following a cold caught while riding around his farm in the rain and snow. (An Alexandria, Virginia newspaper published in its entirety the report submitted by the attending physicians.). Estimated Value $80,000 - 90,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2965		1799 $10 Capped Bust. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and mostly untoned. Highly lustrous despite its passage through a year or so of circulation, and largely bright with light golden highlights on both sides. Very well struck, with substantial detail in the cap and hair plus all stars. There are two small marks above the 8th star. All obverse stars full and well proportioned. The reverse considerably enhances the beauty as well in that this side of the coin sports copious luster, sharp detail and an absence of heavy handling marks. The rims on both sides are exceedingly choice with full dentils. All in all an outstanding example for the Type Set bidder. Whatever you do, do not be complacent when submitting a bid. Others will be aware that this is a handsome coin so give it a strong price! Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $19,550
Lot 2966		1799. BD-8. Rarity 5. ANACS graded Details of AU-50 cleaned. The BD-9 small stars variety has the 17 in the date tilted right while a star point touches the upper point of the eagle's beak. also on the reverse, star 13 touches the ribbon. This variety was struck between the first mating of this obverse (5) and Reverse C of BD-7 and the remarriage of that pair. It is very scarce. Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000. The Estate of Winthrop A. Haviland, Jr. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,613
Lot 2967		1801 BD-2 Rarity 2. NGC graded MS-63. Well struck, frosty and light golden in color. Only 44,344 struck. The peak of production for the design occurs this year, when 44,344 1801 capped bust eagles were struck. Two varieties are known, with one obverse die bearing a Close Date and another obverse bearing a Wide Date. Although eagles were delivered well into 1802, that year's production is believed to have been from 1801 dies. No 1802 capped bust eagles exist. Nicely brilliant with lovely luster. The surfaces have a few stray abrasions, strictly in harmony with the numerical grade. Slightly weak on the cheek at Liberty's jaw, they very sharp on the corresponding parts of the reverse design where weakness is bound to occur. Noted are some faint adjustment lines diagonally through the shield and arrows. This is an important early Eagle Type. The present specimen is well within the affordability range of many collectors, and certainly qualifies as one of the few Mint States left in existence. Pop 45; 3 in 64, 2 in 65 (PCGS # 8564) .

Lot 2968		1803. BD-1. Rarity 5+. Sharpness of VF-30. Cleaned, burnished and probably used as jewelry. The Philadelphia Mint struck an estimated 15,017 1803 capped bust eagles from a single obverse die and several different reverse dies. The reverses are known with Small Stars and Large Stars with BD-1 being the first of the Small Stars. One variety for the Large Stars has faint traces of a fourteenth star superimposed on a cloud. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. Ex R.W. Miller Coll.;The Estate of Winthrop A. Haviland, Jr. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,750
Lot 2969		1846 $10 Liberty. Improperly cleaned. Only 20,095 minted. Lightly toned with some luster still visible. Affordable No Motto Liberty $10 (PCGS # 8594) . Estimated Value $800 - 850. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,006
Lot 2970		1847 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Old Holder. Well struck with nice luster and particularly beautiful reddish gold color, the surface frosty throughout. At the time No Motto gold coins were made, there were virtually no collectors in America. The richest people of Europe and England did collect coins, of course, but they tended to sniff imperiously at anything from an upstart country like ours with its backwoods reputation of tobacco farmers and whiskey stills. For this reason, even though a fair number were struck in 1847, few Mint State tens exist today. Owing to our hope in inducing the reader to look on a coin like this with the indulgent eye of understanding, we simply have to recommend it to serious buyers. In accordance with this appraisal, feel free to give it a strong bid. Pop 18; 1 finer in 63 (PCGS # 8597) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.

Lot 2972		1851-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded EF-40. A lower mintage date with 263,000 being minted. In an old style NGC holder. Estimated Value $750 - 800. The Estate of Winthrop A. Haviland, Jr. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $949
Lot 2973		1854-O $10 Liberty. Large date. NGC graded MS-61. Quite bold, frosty and untoned. The rarer of the two varieties this year, the Large Date '54-O is a coin that is not often seen above VF with even EFs are elusive. This is among an best group of Mint States (finest being MS63) certified and certain to attract attention from Liberty $10 gold specialists. Sometimes the need arises to scour the auction listings for months on end before finding even one offering. And then the coin might not measure up to this one! The surfaces are fully lustrous while the central striking details are well defined. The coin has a lovely, light yellow-gold color over each side. Contact marks, while present, are minor and none stands out as needing special mention. A rare and significant opportunity for the expert buyer. Pop 16; 1 finer in MS-63. Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500. S.S. Republic. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $14,950
Lot 2974		1854-S from the S.S. Republic. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and quite lustrous, untoned. Pop 12; 2 finer, 1 in 60, 1 in 61 . Housed in a plush inlay mahogany case with brass hinges and a booklet as marketed by Odyssey Marine Exploration. The 1854-S is popular as the first year of issue from the San Francisco Mint. Gold from the gold fields of California for the $2.50, $5, $10 and $20 pieces was deposited by miners and their agents at the Mint where it was refined and struck into these beautiful coins. Because the West was a hard-money region that disliked paper money, the coins had to work hard in circulation, resulting in most being moderately to well worn after years of money exchanging. It is always enjoyable for us to be able to offer such a lustrous, high grade piece as this, from the storied sunken treasure ship, S. S. Republic! Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. S.S. Republic. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2975		1855 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Frosty and untoned some rather heavy obverse bag marks. 121,701 struck. Date lightly entered into working die. Slightly low and angled to the right. Desirable No Motto issue thatis much scarcer than the usual ones seen like 1847, 1849-54 & 1861. Pop 24; 7 finer (PCGS # 8616) . Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,565
Lot 2976		1857 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. A decent strike with lots of hair detail. The frosty mint surfaces show the normal allotment of light to moderate contact marks associated with this numerical grade. Only 16,606 struck and seldom seen in high grade. Pop 2; 1 finer in 62 Housed in a plush inlay mahogany case with brass hinges and a booklet as marketed by Odyssey Marine Exploration. While the $20 denomination from this S.S. Republic shipwreck is the most often seen, $10 pieces are on occasion offered for sale, with the proviso that once they go into coin collections, it may be years before another like this surfaces again. Bear this in mind when establishing what to bid. Census numbers are very low. Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000. S.S. Republic. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $17,250
Lot 2977		1859-O $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53. Nice light yellow gold. Somewhat prooflike around the letters. Some light surface marks. A very pleasing specimen of one of the notable rarities of the New Orleans Mint, one of just 2,300 struck. Apparently no more than a few dozen survive, and the number may even be below a dozen (see following commentary). Douglas Winter estimates the total population as only 30 to 35 coins, noting that the finest known to him is AU-50. David Akers checks in with this comment: "The 1859-O is the rarest O-Mint eagle, and is actually one of the rarest dates in this entire 224-coin series (of coins of $10 denomination) … The best I have ever personally examined was a single AU specimen, and the relatively few others I have seen are only VF or EF." Walter Breen, whose comments on American gold coins must always be considered, in his Encyclopedia, states this: "Fewer than 12 survive. Usually in low grades; prohibitively rare EF." (PCGS # 8629) . Diagnostic features of the 1859-O: Although three pairs of dies were on hand, apparently only one die pair was employed for the 1859-O coinage -- a logical situation considering the tiny mintage. Date logotype deeply impressed into the die, and about twice as close to the dentils as to the neck truncation above. On the reverse the O mintmark is positioned so that the tip of the arrow feather points to the upper right outside curve, and is separated from it. Estimated Value $16,000 - 17,000.

Lot 2978		1860-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and lustrous with only the slightest evidence of light handling. Only 5000 struck. Pop 1; 2 finer, 1 in 61, 1 in 62 Housed in a plush inlay mahogany case with brass hinges and a booklet as marketed by Odyssey Marine Exploration. Bidders should be made aware that even though a few higher grade '60-S tens have entered the marketplace over the last dozen years, this still remains a daunting rarity in the No Motto series regardless of its condition. This piece right up there in the Condition Census with one or two others per the following census. The 1860-S is also an absolute rarity from the fact so few were made in the first place. This piece displays a crisp clear strike in the centers with somewhat softer details on the peripheral obverse stars. The lovely residual luster comes from the cold deep ocean waters which it was immersed for almost 140 years. Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000. S.S. Republic. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $27,600
Lot 2979		1866 $10 Liberty. With motto. NGC graded MS-60. Normal amount of bag marks for the grade. Lightly toned. 3,750 pieces struck. An insignificant number of With Motto Eagles were coined at Philadelphia this year. Due to the large circulation of fiat paper money (greenbacks) used to finance the North's armies during the American Civil War, Gresham's famous dictum or law began to work its effects on the Eastern Seaboard. The bad money -- in this case, the greenbacks -- drove the good money, gold and silver, to a premium. Coinage of Eagles, as well as other smaller denominations, dwindled as the 1860s gave way to the 1870s. Few miners or bankers wished to send their bullion in for minting anything but the largest coins. Double Eagle coinage continued high, of course, since this denomination was required to pay for imports; many were exported to Britain and the Continent. This is where the mint concentrated. It was a combination of domestic stinginess and increase in export demand that, 126 years later, made collectors yearn to buy these low mintage Ten Dollar Gold pieces. This lustrous example is tied with one other as the second finest grade assigned by NGC. The striking details are sharp and well defined in all areas while the fields show a dusky golden gleam. Natural reddish patina covers each side of this important rare gold coin. Pop 2; 2 finer in 61 (PCGS # 8649) . Monetary stress in the country: There was a "broad drop in prices" following the end of the American Civil War (1861-65). From 1866-1879, prices (and wages) declined steadily. This can be attributed to the withdrawal of a large portion of the paper money (the greenbacks) which had been issued to finance the Civil War (official name, War of the Rebellion). While greenbacks were accepted in most of the country, in California (which had a pro-gold sentiment from the Gold Rush '49ers) there was active civil disobedience. People refused to obey the legal tender law, which the authorities found unenforceable. If you tried to pay in greenbacks, people would boycott you and drive you out of business. So California remained on the gold standard through the war. Prices did not decline there from 1866-1879 as they did in much of the rest of the country. Estimated Value $19,000 - 20,000.

Lot 2980		1870 $10 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 65 Ultra Cameo. A lovely untoned example. 35 Proofs struck. It is not often that we handle any specific date in the Proof Liberty Eagle series, but the 1870 is an issue that we rarely see offered. To put it in its proper relationship to others in the series, this specimen is an extremely rare Gem Proof and years may pass before another is offered for sale. It is the sort of coin that gives one a feeling of anticipation! Possibly as few as 10-12 pieces from the original mintage survive to the present day. A stunning piece of 19th century Proof gold. The fields have almost unimaginably deep mirror reflectivity and seem to ripple with an inner force of their own when the viewer angles the coin just so in the light. Contrasted against the fields, the devices are well frosted, indeed "ultra frosted", which yields a strong cameo contrast. There are no mentionable defects on either side of this exceptional coin barring a small toning area by the date. This is clearly one of the finest known, its low population offering confirmation. The overall surfaces attest to this coin's attractiveness and go far toward explaining why any serious bidder should chose this particular example for his collection. The coin is irreproachable in its originality. Pop 2; none finer at NGC. Estimated Value $65,000 - 75,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $112,125
Lot 2981		1877-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. In NGC holder 9173901-008. Rich coppery-golden color. All three mints then in operation struck Eagles in 1877, but only in low numbers. The distinctive San Francisco pieces are all very well executed and, when lustrous, have nice frosty surface as those seen here. Most of the original mintage was not saved, and only a relative few examples are certified in Mint State by either NGC or PCGS. Straw-gold blending into nice rich warm orange-gold color, where glimpses of luster persist within and around all devices extending well into the field on both sides. A couple of minor scuffs at the date with a disturbance in the luster below the first A in AMERICA on the reverse. Only 17,000 struck. Pop 13; 2 finer with 1 in 60, 1 in 61. (PCGS # 8679) .

Lot 2982		1880-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Frosty and untoned. A rare low mintage date as only 9,200 were struck. The 1880-O is the most affordable of the trio of scarce New Orleans eagles struck between 1880 and 1882. It is thought that, from the original mintage, possibly 200-250 examples are known. The issue is relatively easy to locate in grades up to an including About Uncirculated; its scarcity becomes etched in stone in Mint Condition, however, where the 1880-O eagle is prohibitively rare.

A few Mint State examples are reported peer the population figures below, is extremely elusive at both major services. The surfaces are covered with some warm gold patina. Some contact marks and normal abrasions are noted and account for the grade, but none overly detract. An opportunity one shouldn't miss if you collect dated $10 gold. Only 8,350 were minted.

Lot 2994		1889 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Lightly toned. Only 4,485 pieces minted of this semi-key date. Lustrous and well struck with the usual light bagmarks present. The period 1889 to 1896 was a time of stress in the East Coast (and European) gold markets. Forces were at work causing a drain on Treasury supplies of gold. This resulted in a series of moneymarket panics and shows itself in reduced gold Eagle and Double Eagle production figures at Philadelphia (but not in San Francisco's mintage). 1889 in particular saw a huge reduction in mintage over the years before.

Lot 3005		1894 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Frosty (PCGS # 8729) . The book The Wizard of Oz was political satire written by Frank Baun during this time period. It is about the big Eastern bankers in New York represented by the wizard of ounces (gold ounces abbreviated oz.), the Kansas Tornado (Dorothy) who was a fiery orator pushing for the better items-metallic system; the farmer, represented by the scarecrow; the industrial worker, represented by the tin man and the cowardly lion represented by William Jennings Bryan. The munchkins were the duped population in the East that could not see things as they really were because they were forced to wear green colored glasses. The yellow winkies (they didn't get much coverage in the movie) were the poor Filipinos who were the oppressed people as a result of the Eastern banker's imperialistic ambitions. At the end of the book Dorothy finally clicked her SILVER slippers together and everyone saw the light and lived happily ever after on the better items-metallic system. Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.
