|
1900 PCGS MS-64 (green label) CAC.
|
|
Exceptional luster elevates the eye-appeal close to gem status, limited by some minor technical flaws. No spots can be found, but a linear abrasion in the obverse lower left field and some small... |

|
1900 PCGS MS-61, and a 1911 NGC MS-61.
|
|
Brassy toning touches the highlights of the 1900 half-eagle, and the strike seems rather soft for the date, with notable weakness in Liberty's hair. The 1911 half-eagle shows a rather nice strike and... |
|
| 1153 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $390.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Marvelous definition, clean surfaces and freedom from contact marks would seem to guarantee an upgrade. However, PCGS astutely invoked the "silent net grade" strategy to take into account some... |
|
| 1154 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $450.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-62+.
|
|
Rather abraded, but color shows a slightly richer tint than usual. Fairly well struck overall, the stars show just minor incompleteness at the centers. |
|
| 1155 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $550.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Clean fields wish to express a higher grade, but Liberty's cheek bears a few too many contact marks. Not quite as well struck as some examples. |
|
| 944 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $575.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Nicely struck with handsome satin-laden frost. Four or so small carbon spots hide out beneath Liberty's chin but avoid the primary focal areas. They just think they're sneaky, but we're onto them. |
|
| 945 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $525.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Three tiny copper spots fling across the obverse (good luck finding them), while the reverse shows an additional hint or two of that common alloy phenomenon. Struck to average sharpness. |
|
| 897 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $481.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
The obverse surface is obviously top-notch for MS-62, with pleasing vintage patina and active luster that is strong and full through the fields. If anything, the reverse impacts the grade to greater... |
|
| 899 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $500.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Slight blush of peach enters the fields and layers over Liberty's lower neck. Several small ticks appear on Liberty's portrait, with a trio particularly noted in the right field. |
|
| 501 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $425.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Bright cartwheel effect shimmers around both sides. Obverse fields are reasonably clean, while the reverse fields display a couple of bonus contact marks above and aside of the eagle's right... |

| 502 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $925.00 |
|
1900 MS-63, and a 1909-D Indian AU.
|
|
1900 displays a lightly clashed die and tons of luster. 1909-D is in the upper echelon of the AU grade range, and will appear UNC to many bidders. Two coin lot. |
|
| 1111 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $425.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-62+.
|
|
Abnormally pale, with prominent multi-spoked luster illuminated by the moonbeam-gold aspect. |
|
| 1112 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $825.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
This is assuredly about as original as a gold coin can look at the MS-63 grade level. Dusky, vintage golden-blue patina emanates gently from the fields and goes a long way toward disguising some old,... |

Two 1900, 1903-S and 1907, all NGC MS-62.

The Beatles, ABBA, Spice Girls, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, U2, Mamas & the Papas, and the witches in the Wizard of Oz -- all of them were famous quartets. And destined for fame is another,... |

|
1900 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Mustard-gold surfaces appear remarkably clean at arm's length, implying a conservative grade, but closer examination reveals a number of moderate ticks concentrated about Liberty's chin. Luster is... |
|
| 860 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,050.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-64.
|
|
Fields are obviously clean without resorting to a glass, and the motifs finely executed even with a glass. Shallow abrasions occupy the back of Liberty's neck, and several minor copper spots on the... |

|
1900 NGC UNC Details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Evidence of cleaning is definitely "less than obvious", and the coin needs to be rotated ninety degrees before hairlines become apparent. Even then, they may not be so prominent as to bar attempts at... |
|
| 1068 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $401.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-61.
|
|
Tiny abrasions leave very little of the surface untouched, yet cartwheel effect continues to dominate each side. |

|
1900, 1904, 1906 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Common coronet gold half-eagles are all graded MS-62 by NGC in new slabs. The dates are 1900, 1904 and 1906. Strike quality is consistently decent for all of these, and each is minimally abraded for... |
|
| 1070 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $675.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-63.
|
|
Coruscating luster twirls around each side, unimpeded by major marks, though there are just few enough of the smaller ticks to still permit an MS-63 grade. |
|
| 1071 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $675.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-63.
|
|
Captivating yellow-gold luster gleams throughout, complementing a very good strike. A pair of short, sharp scratches on Liberty's jaw are the most obvious disturbances. |
|
| 806 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $425.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Perchance a little pale, yet flashy in the fields. A patch of breath-like friction can be seen at the lower left obverse. |
|
| 791 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $825.00 |
|
1900 MS-60 and 1907-D MS-60.
|
|
1900 probably grades a couple of points higher than MS-60, but the 1907-D has minor hairlines determining the grade. Two coin lot. |
|
| 792 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $402.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Moderately abraded, especially along the left edge of Liberty's portrait. |
|
| 793 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $410.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Luster is a tad dull, and the reverse is rather heavily abraded. A slight rim bruise can be seen on the upper obverse edge. |
|
| 1166 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,150.00 |
|
1900 and 1910 NGC MS-62.
|
|
NGC has certified each of these half-eagles as grading MS-62. Included are a 1900 with a smattering of shallow obverse carbon spots, and a 1910 that features a slightly better obverse than average... |
|
| 1167 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $950.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-63.
|
|
In gold series, MS-63 probably sees the highest variance in quality for the grade, and this 1900 seems to lie near the upper end of that spectrum. The fields are unusually free from abrasions for... |
|
| 1168 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,200.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Not quite as well struck as some competing examples of 1900, but a coin with clean surfaces and just minuscule abrasions accounting for the grade. Three vague copper spots on the reverse have no... |
|
| 914 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $675.00 |
|
1900 and 1904 NGC MS-62.
|
|
NGC's grade of MS-62 is perfectly suited to both these coins, a 1900 and a 1904 half-eagle. The 1900 is imprecisely struck, and witnesses some diagonal hairlines in the left obverse fields. Better... |
|
| 915 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,500.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-64.
|

Dazzling beams of light blaze off each side of this sparkling jewel, augmented by clean, pristine surfaces. A terrific strike imparted strong details for nearly every star, and the eagle's feathered... |
|
| 1013 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $475.00 |
|
1900 and 1903-S. MS-60.
|
|
The 1900 bears very mild hints of field friction and a handful of hairlines, while the 1903-S glistens more brightly than it's companion. Two coin lot. |
|
| 1014 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $775.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-63.
|
|
Very frosty, with an accumulation of three or four bagmarks on the cheek determining the grade. |
|
| 1015 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $960.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-63.
|
|
By way of a label attached to the back of the NGC slab, NCS suggests conservation, most likely implying that the reverse copper spots could be attenuated. Attainment of a point upgrade would increase... |
|
| 1016 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,150.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-64.
|
|
Free from spots or blemishes, and very clean in appearance. The strike is satisfactory, with each star showing good central details. |
|
| 930 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $320.00 |
|
1900 Coronet half-eagle Unc.
|
|
Faint hairlines randomly cross the obverse, but the reverse appears reasonably free of the effects of an incidental wipe. Fairly well struck except at the center of Liberty's hair. |
|
| 931 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $825.00 |
|
1900 Coronet half-eagle, NGC MS-63
|
|
Unexpectedly smooth and attractive for the "choice" level. A handful of tiny copper spots are peppered across each side, none being distracting, but there is a light pin scratch below the reverse... |
|
| 932 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $1,400.00 |
|
1900 Coronet half-eagle, MS-64
|
|
Very close to a full MS-65 coin, except that the luster probably lacks quite enough "pop" to command the grade. Nonetheless, exceptionally free of blemishes or bagmarks, and struck very well. |
|
| 933 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $1,400.00 |
|
1900 Coronet half-eagle, PCGS MS-64
|
|
Slightly subdued mint luster is endowed with lovely indigo iridescence at the borders of the reverse, and this coin exudes a generally clean appearance overall. A pleasing type coin. |
|
| 1041 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $270.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Typically bedeviled for the grade by a plethora of tiny abrasions in the fields. A solitary copper spot appears between "TY" on Liberty’s headband. |
|
| 1042 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $1,400.00 |
|
1900 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Pale blue iridescence is suggested by the vibrant mint luster that swirls throughout the entire reverse of this charming gold coin. The obverse luster yields occasionally to apricot hues in the... |
|
| 1055 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $260.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-62.

|
1900 NGC MS-62.

|
1900 NGC MS-62.

|
1900 NGC MS-63.

|
1900 NGC MS-64.

This date is intensely lustrous with a honey gold hue permeating from its delicate surfaces. The contact ticks are significantly minute on this impressively struck example. |
|
| 1060 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $2,400.00 |
|
1900 MS-65.
|
|
A splendid yellow-gold glow is transmitted from the silklike surfaces. The observed ticks are extremely minute and just barely prevent the MS-66 grade. It is a boldly struck example with... |
|
| 986 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007 | $475.00 |
|
1900 MS-60+ and 1907-D MS-60+.
|
|
Both of these pleasing half eagles reflect bright orange color, a strong strike, and no copper spots. |
|
| 987 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007 | $775.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-63.

|
1900 MS-62+.
|
|
Radiant luster from this piece's satiny surfaces presents a glowing cartwheel aspect. A slight toning stain in front of Liberty's profile prevents this piece from being nudged to the grade level of... |
|
| 469 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $320.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-62.

|
1900 NGC MS-65.
|
|
You never get tired of looking at high grade gold coins. There is something about the luster and color of this example that kind of makes this cataloger a little misty eyed. It shows rolling luster,... |
|
| 1110 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $675.00 |
|
1900 NGC MS-63.
|
|
Boldly struck details are observed on this specimen's satin like fields. A couple minor marks are noted along with a few pin head size toning flecks. A warm golden glow radiates from its surfaces. |

|
1900 NGC MS-66.
|
|
The obverse surfaces are practically void of any mentionable marks, and the reverse is nearly as nice. If graded on the obverse alone, it would probably grade MS-67 or higher. The strike is... |
|
