1001 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014 | $1,250.00 |
1897-S NGC MS-62+.
|
Superior original patina. Isolated patches of rugosity at the top of Liberty's head and spreading over her cheek and neck suggest that the coin was struck through grease, but this has no particular... |

582 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,650.00 |
1897-S PCGS MS-62 (rattler).
|
Really pretty for MS-62, with multiple shades of medium gold interspersed across the obverse. |
|
1202 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $4,600.00 |
1897-S, and two 1904 PCGS MS-62 (one 1904 green label).
|
A trio of Liberty double-eagles, all certified by PCGS as grading MS-62. 1897-S is satin-smooth and has fewer marks than expected of the grade, and the 1904 in a blue-label holder has strictly... |

1159 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $1,550.00 |
1897-S PCGS MS-62.
|
Engulfed in lovely, molten amber-gold patina, watery luster beams forth with alacrity and loads up this double-eagle with unimpeded eye-appeal. The MS-62 grade is technically accurate, yet this will... |

1160 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $1,700.00 |
1897-S PCGS MS-63.
|
Divergent properties may balance out to a coin deserving of a "choice" grade. Blooming luster energizes each side, complemented nicely by natural, original patina, but a series of ovoid scrapes at... |
|
1047 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,725.00 |
1897-S PCGS MS-63.
|
Outstanding visual impact is provided by the very original surface quality, attested to by the grey-gold patina that accents detail highpoints. An average strike has failed to impart some central... |
|
1150 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $1,200.00 |
1897-S PCGS MS-63.
|
Opulent golden orange radiates from the velvety surfaces of this San Francisco issue. Minuscule contact ticks are not visually detracting for this sharply struck issue. |
|
1207 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $925.00 |
1897-S PCGS MS-63.
|
Grand eye appeal is on display with this unusually well-preserved San Francisco issue. The lovely honey-gold surfaces and flowing luster are seen on both sides. Finding examples in loftier grades is... |
|
1208 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $950.00 |
1897-S PCGS MS-63.
|
The fields on this coin appear too clean to only be graded MS-63, but the detail is a bit weak, so the grade is understandable. A small toning fleck is visible on the reverse, but otherwise this... |
