Seated Liberty Half Dollars
 
 
Lot Photo Description Realized
Lot 757
1839. Drapery. PCGS graded MS-64. Mostly untoned. A little bit lightly struck on one star and the eagle’s left leg feathers and claw, otherwise displaying an especially bold strike. Satin-smooth delicate toned luster permeates this beautiful first year design with a life of its own. Add a fine level of mint detail and the appeal is very tempting.

True to the early Mint custom of regularity of design of all silver coins, the Gobrecht Liberty Seated design (after Thomas Sully), adopted for silver dollars in 1836, was used on half dollars in 1839. The reverse is similar to previous type of 1838-39 Bust coinage, but the inscription is at first in small letters similar to those of 1836-37.

The first obverse dies show no extra drapery at crook of Liberty's elbow; later dies through 1891 have a small extra patch below it. This is nothing like the heavier cloak on the Robert Ball Hughes version found on dollars and smaller silver 1840-91. Pop 15; 3 finer in 65. (PCGS # 6232) .
Estimated Value $2,600 - 2,700.

1840-O. PCGS graded VF-35. Light even gray toning. An attractive carefully preserved circulated example of this two year only type from the New Orleans Mint, with the Small Letters reverse of the earlier, 1839 design. There is a noticeable (and quite interesting) die break from the rim on the reverse that crosses the I of AMERICA on the diagonal, clips across the right wing tip and finishes near the eagle’s lower leg. Two other die breaks are found, the one beginning at the left rim below U of UNITED and extending (with a crook partway) to the olive branch. Another issues from the rim below H of HAL to the left most claw directly above. Minor strike weakness on the reverse, as often found on 1840-O (and for that matter, 1841-O) half dollars (PCGS # 6235) .

1852. NGC graded AU-55. Only 77,130 minted. Nicely toned. It was in February of 1853 that a weight reduction went into effect for all subsidiary silver coinage. The problem had been that for decades both silver and gold coins had been melted as the raw silver or gold content was worth more than the coin's face value. Pre-1853 silver coins were withdrawn from circulation by the Treasury and recoined into the newly authorized Arrows and Rays (and later Arrows-only) silver in 1853-55. Pop 4; 49 finer at NGC .

1854. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 64. CAC Approved. Lovely toning on both sides. An extremely pleasing example of the Proof 1854 Arrows Half Dollar, much rarer than the Proof dollar of this date. There are probably about 20 surviving Proof Halves of this year and this is one of the choicest currently available.

This coin shows all the diagnostics for a Proof striking including the high date with the 54 practically touching, extra outlines on some of the stars, and unsupported toe of Liberty.

Proofs struck during this time period were made with looser standards than those produced only four years later. This piece does not show complete detailing on the peripheral stars on the obverse, a common occurrence on 1854 With Arrows Proofs or indeed most Proofs in the years leading up to 1858. The Proof mirrors in the fields are strong and some flash when tipped back and forth under a light. A rare opportunity for the collector of Proof 19th century type coins. Pop 6; 1 finer in 65 (PCGS # 6407) .

1854 Arrows history: By 1850, the massive flows of gold from California had depressed the prices of that metal, and made silver more valuable by comparison. Hence, all silver coins disappeared from circulation as they were worth more than face value. Depositors gave little silver to the mints for coinage, and there were no denominations in circulation between the cent and gold dollar. Something had to be done, so in 1853 Congress reduced the amount of silver for minor denominations, in order to reflect the market value of silver as compared to gold. On the half dollar, the weight was reduced from 206.25 grains to 192 grains, and Mint Director George Eckert ordered quick changes to the dies so the entire design did not have to be changed. Arrows were added at the date, and on the reverse, rays were added surrounding the eagle. These design changes caused a problem, the dies cracked and broke to pieces much faster with the arrows and rays. In fact, die life fell to one-third normal, and dies had to be replaced rapidly. When Col. James Ross Snowden took as Mint Director in 1853, he immediately ordered the rays removed starting in 1854, both to extend die life and because so little of the heavier pre arrows coinage was in circulation by then. The arrows were later dropped starting in 1856.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.

1854-O. Arrows. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Well struck with lovely light blue toning on both sides. This is one of the more breathtaking Seated Half Dollars of any year or type that bidders will see auctioned, and it is in a small elite group of similarly graded 1854-O Arrows delivery. The surfaces are virtually blemish-free, the luster smooth with not even a single detracting spot or other post-striking occurrence in evidence. Both sides are dripping with original mint luster, attractive satin sheen at all angles. The overall impression is full and well above average for a representative of this somewhat poorly struck O-mint issue. Finally, this coin is originally toned with shimmering iridescence; the otherwise deep frost amplifying the colors. The type collector or portfolio buyer seeking a stellar representative of this important two-year type need look no further than this beautiful MS66 Gem. Pop 12; 2 finer, 1 in 66+, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 6280) .

1855. Arrows. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Lovely blue and golden toning. Balanced and subtle champagne, lavender, and shimmering blue-as-steel color over silvery surfaces with a satin consistency. Fully struck with outstanding hair and feather detail. Rich luster swirls over surfaces spared of any abrasions or heavy die polish lines that are seen on some 1855 With Arrows halves.

Following close upon the Arrows and Rays issue produced in 1853, Mint Director Snowden modified the design in 1854 by retaining the arrows at the date but removing the rays from around the eagle. Breen noted that the combination of increased time of production, the cost of die sinking and the reduced die life were all factors in Snowden's decision to eliminate the rays in the new issues of 1854. Struck from 1854-1855, the With Arrows, No Motto Seated half dollars were produced at Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco. The issues of this type struck in Philadelphia are seen in gem condition much less frequently, oddly enough, than the ones made at New Orleans. The 1855 is second only to the 1855-S with regards to conditional rarity. An exciting time to acquire one of the finer Gems and most elusive issues of the brief With Arrows, No Motto half dollar series! Pop 5; 4 finer in 66 (PCGS # 6281) .

Historic Note. Four full years after the end of the Civil War and still the United States had a confused currency situation. It took a long while before the banking system and monetary metals, silver and gold, stabilized against the greenback and National Bank Note paper money. In his First Annual Message to Congress, President Ulysses Grant said, "Among the evils growing out of the rebellion [Civil War], and not yet referred to, is that of an irredeemable currency. It is a duty, and one of the highest duties, of Government to secure to the citizen a medium of exchange of fixed, unvarying value. This implies a return to a specie basis, and no substitute for it can be devised. It should be commenced now and reached at the earliest practicable moment consistent with a fair regard to the interests of the debtor class." It wasn't until ten years later that the evil of irredeemable currency was cured by a return to a circulating gold coin money in January 1879, the silver having returned in late-1877.

1873. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 63. Lovely deep blue, gold, and lavender toning. A razor-sharp Proof. Only 550 struck. Pursuant to the Coinage Act of 1873, the adjusted weight silver coins in production beginning in 1873 had the tolerance wide enough that the previous blanks could still be used. The half dollars coined from 1853 through 1873 had a standard weight of 12.44 grams while the new half dollars beginning in 1873 had a weight standard set at 12.50 grams. With a tolerance of plus or minus 0.2 grams, any planchet that weighed between 12.30 and 12.70 grams was legal. Walter Breen proposed that the mint did not make any actual adjustments to the previous standard in use. The most likely scenario is that they began producing blank planchets at the new weight standard, but went ahead and coined all of the previous blanks that had been prepared and were awaiting coinage. This is a gleaming Proof, choice throughout, and with aesthetic appeal. Few survivors from the With Arrows Proof mintage of 1873 are as mark-free as this, and only few dozen finer examples certified.Pop 41; 54 finer, 41 in 64, 12 in 65, 1 in 66. (PCGS # 6434) .

Monetary conditions in the 1870s: The 1870s were a time in American history where the monetary chaos that resulted from the Civil War was alleviated, and the country got back to using silver and gold money backing suitable paper money certificates. Between 1873 and 1879, conditions were still stabilizing when this Proof Half Dollar went into production. For years, the country had had to deal with fraction currency notes of denominations from 3c to 50c. Silver coins were either hoarded or exported. Few circulated. Gold carried a preium over "par" with Par being $100 in greenbacks equal to $100 in gold coin. After 1877, the fractional notes ceased to be used as a general currency. The large production of new coins by the mint from 1873 to 1877, and the influx of old coins from abroad in the latter year, gave the country a supply of small silver change greatly in excess of its needs, and the public preference for metal over paper in those days led to a rapid withdrawal of the fractional notes. In one respect the notes were superior to coins. They were convenient and safe in remittances of small sums by mail.

This Year in U.S. History: On October 28, 1884, the cornerstone of the Statue of Liberty was laid. The Statue itself was unveiled by President Grover Cleveland on Bedloe's Island (now Liberty Island) in Upper New York Bay 2 years later. The 152-foot-tall, 225-ton copper statue, a centennial gift from France to the U.S., was not actually a representation of Liberty but a likeness of the face of French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi's mother, as she appeared in her younger years. Today, a million sightseers visit the Lady -- and the American Museum of Immigration at the base of the statue -- annually.
