1/10th 0z. AGE

You got a Plus? Wow 67s are around especially for 06 and o7 Ps. Some of the Liberty gold is priced ok when the new $pot price is calculated in, many go for under Greysheet it seems. $20 Libs and Sts. Pretty strong at these levels. Hard to imagine soon the 10z AGE will be $400‼️

The restrike was close but even from afar this looks unreal…of course any of the early 20th Century proof US gold is awesome

Rick,

Yes, “Art-Qua-Art” or “Pure Art.” Also meaning Art-As-Art.

The 1907 Proof High Relief Saint Gaudens is truly a masterpiece.

Cheers

I really like those $1 Gold coins, great choice! Scarce, but doable in MS condition. I’d bet that a nice AU awaits(with patience) as well. Keep us posted!
“David Akers (1975/88): A very popular date since this is the first and only San Francisco Mint Type I gold dollar. Reasonably scarce in all grades, but an occasional choice uncirculated example is available.”
The Princess $1 Gold is an old favorite of mine…Very tempting Mr….

Looks like they almost ran out of space for the mint mark on that 2 1/2.

Now, you can see why my target 1854-S coin is the dollar.

Great work and interesting story, Cali. I guess Mr. du Pont was 1) not the owner of this particular coin, or 2) was paid by someone to back off, and/or 3) both 1 and 2.

Yeah, I meant millions. Though I do wonder how far a couple of golden Millards would go toward the purchase of a 1854-S half eagle?

And the BU/MS coins? Well that’s interesting too.
They often use the term “Choice Brilliant Uncirculated” to describe the MS coins, that’s it. So, it seems (subjectively) that an MS60 coin is grouped with an MS70 coin with an estimate of $150 – $200 for the $2.5 coins (I prefer that description over ‘Quarter Eagle’, just me). So, in 1974 my “Choice BU” 1906 Liberty $2.5 was worth $150 -$200? My, have times changed…

Thanks Cali, the coin is a monster! There may still be more….somewhere…..
wonder what a 1/2z Sacagawea will be offered as, 5m close out…..AMPEx special

Well, much of that went over my head, but I appreciate the research no doubt Cali. Speaking of which, the Newman Numismatic Portal is the Bomb when it comes to research. In looking at that 1974 Rio Rancho Auction, it’s interesting to see the grading standards of the time, ie; no numerical grading. The many gradations of “Fine”, to the many “AU” descriptors help to tell a story on the coins condition.
