Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
1166The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$625.00
1908 Liberty. ICG MS-64.
Copious amber-gold patina languishes across both sides and dominates two-thirds of the underlying medium-gold luster. Rather sharply made, each star shows full central details. A linear scrape...
912The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$850.00
1908 Liberty. NGC MS-64.
The coin is free from major blemishes, with the grade likely decided by a number of tiny surfaces grazes. Cataloger's note: the slab has a moderate scratch on the front over the coin. From Anne...
511The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,200.00
1908 Liberty. PCGS MS-64+.
Exceptional quality is evident on the reverse, which could grade as high as MS-67 all by itself. Only minuscule contact marks affect the obverse, but there are just a few too many to justify the full...
1118The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$1,350.00
1908 NGC MS-64 CAC.
Gorgeous in every way, including a powerful strike, elevated luster and a lack of stains or abrasions. Subtle mint-blue iridescence visits the borders of the reverse.
870The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$700.00
1908 Liberty. NGC MS-63.
While graded to a technically correct standard, the eye-appeal of this common half-eagle is significantly elevated by a pleasing touch of lime-green iridescence that hugs the rims. The pleasing...
1079The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$800.00
1908 Liberty. NGC MS-63.
Blooming luster and a very powerful strike justify the choice grade, in spite of shallow luster grazes in the obverse lower right field.
1080The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$3,700.00
1908 Liberty. NGC MS-65.
Multiple spokes of wonderful gem luster emanate from the fields and illuminate Liberty's portrait with beams of golden light. The eagle benefits from additional radiance, kindled by faint...
816The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$450.00
1908 Liberty. NGC MS-62.
Elegant orange-gold hue enhances resplendent surfaces. A trivial sprinkling of contact ticks appear in the left obverse field, while on the reverse a few minuscule abrasions surround the eagle. The...
817The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$875.00
1908 Liberty. PCGS MS-63.
Sassy luster flings off the fields, amplifying the satiny surface texture. Struck well enough to yield central details for every star, yet the overall impression is that of a slightly soft coin.
1176The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$875.00
1908 Liberty. PCGS MS-63.
Above average for the MS-63 grade, with only limited abrasions. Slide marks on Liberty's chin are noted.
1177The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,300.00
1908 Liberty. NGC MS-64.
Buttery-smooth luster glows nicely with an overtone of mint-green patina just discernible at the edge of the obverse. A gorgeous coin that is tantalizingly close to grading MS-65.
1022The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$800.00
1908 PCGS MS-63.
A fairly generous number of bag marks appear in the right obverse field, but overall, perhaps not as abraded as is typical of the grade. A couple of stray carbon specks adhere to the eagle's left...
1023The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$1,150.00
1908 PCGS MS-64.
A 1908 half-eagle graded MS-64 by PCGS.
1024The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$2,900.00
1908 NGC MS-65.
Refreshingly free of major marks, this very clean gold type coin permits viewing of the Coronet design to best advantage - unfettered by heavy post mint impairments. There are no copper spots or other...
942The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$750.00
1908 Coronet half-eagle, PCGS MS-63
Most of the abrasions that typify the grade are relegated to the obverse fields. A satisfactorily struck example.
1070The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,600.00
1908 Liberty. PCGS MS-64.
Glowing golden surfaces with impeccable relief details. The marks present are not severe, though a light hairline to the right of Liberty's head is visible. Without this minor flaw, this coin would...
479The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$1,600.00
1908 Liberty. NGC MS-64.
Marvelously struck with a rich golden aspect to its satinlike luster. This specimen, from the last year of issue for this long-standing series, is minimally marked and highly eye appealing.
