1163 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $1,500.00 |
1904 NGC MS-64+.
|
The "plus" has sometimes been seen for coins that don't appear particularly strong for the base grade, but here, there do seem to be legitimate claims for MS-64. Although slightly less well struck... |
|
907 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $500.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-62.
|
Potential bidders will not be disappointed with the quality, as the surfaces offer fewer abrasions than expected of MS-62. One may assume that a minor intermittent scratch in front of Liberty's... |
|
508 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $410.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-61.
|
A worn reverse die is the cause of slight strike doubling, as well as a nifty little die fracture between "ED". Lime-gold hues tint the peripheral areas. |
|
863 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $600.00 |
1904 Liberty half-eagle AU and 1911 Indian half-eagle VF.
|
The 1904 half-eagle is AU with plenty of luster and evidence of an unimportant cleaning. The 1911 half-eagle grades VF or so but has apparently been cleaned. Two coin lot. |
|
864 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $875.00 |
1904 Liberty half-eagle PCGS MS-62, and a 1905 Liberty quarter-eagle...
|
The 1905 half-eagle is lightly toned and just about perfect for MS-62, with only the associated minor ticks and abrasions, pleasing sharpness and very good luster. The 1905 quarter-eagle is... |
|
1076 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $700.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-63.
|
Surfaces are frostier than usual for a 1904 gold coin. Scant evidence of lemon-green iridescence can just be seen on each side. |
|
811 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $360.00 |
1904 NGC MS-61.
|
Relative lack of contact marks would typically imply a higher grade than just MS-61, but the lower assessment is justified by muted luster and stray hairlines that may be indicative of an old,... |
|
812 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $425.00 |
1904 NGC MS-62.
|
While displaying fewer abrasions than expected of MS-62, it must be admitted that luster is strangely numb, with none of the pizzazz usually seen for 1904. Some stray hairlines might help explain... |
|
919 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $655.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-63.
|
Better than average quality is immediately apparent, though a few wispy horizontal hairlines may have resulted from album storage. Exceptionally clean and beaming with terrific mint luster. |
|
1020 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $860.00 |
1904 NGC MS-63.
|
Surprisingly clean for the grade, with diminished mint luster on the reverse perhaps curtailing the grade. There really are no blemishes that would seem to for a grade of just MS-63. |
|
1021 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $825.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-63.
|
Gold coins struck in 1904 are reliably crisp and lustrous, and that adequately describes the present half-eagle. The MS-63 grade is accounted for by small, scattered handling marks that gravitate to... |
|
937 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $775.00 |
1904 Coronet half-eagle, NGC MS-63
|
Tight cartwheel luster illuminates each side of this canary-gold half-eagle. A pleasing strike completes the case for a "choice" grade. |
|
938 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $1,500.00 |
1904 Coronet half-eagle, NGC MS-64
|
Although not designated so on the holder, this coin's lovely prooflike character manifests itself immediately upon personal inspection. Indeed, the obverse likely qualifies for a "PL" designation,... |
|
990 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007 | $725.00 |
1904 NGC MS-63.
|
A splendid yellow-gold aspect complement this specimen's impressive glowing surfaces. The light scuffs and trivial ticks detected are typical for this grade level. The observed detailing is quite... |
|
382 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $280.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-62.
|
This specimen exhibits an elegant orange-gold bearing. A scant number of ticks and scuffs are detected with a glass. |
|
474 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $1,450.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-64.
|
A splendid issue displaying a warm, lustrous yellow-gold glow on velvetlike surfaces. A few trivial contact ticks are evident on this well-struck specimen. |
|
475 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $2,900.00 |
1904 PCGS MS-65.
|
A glowing radiance emanates from this specimen's vibrant, delicate surfaces. A scant number of random ticks on a superbly crisp strike. |
