1879 $4 Gold Stella, Flowing Hair, Deep Cameo, PCGS |
PCGS PF64 DCAM | Brainchild of the Honorable John A. Kasson, the $4 Stella was conceived to facilitate international trade and travel by Americans. Kasson traveled extensively abroad and understood the expensive difficulties related to exchanging U.S. coinage for foreign coinage. A novel idea ahead of its time, the $4 Stella was soon deemed to be impractical as the intended currencies to be exchanged were not exact equals and varied against one another as time passed. Officially, the Stella (so named for the five-point star on the reverse) is a pattern and no mintage was ever authorized. Unofficially, the $4 gold piece is considered part of United States coinage and is listed in the Red Book after the $3 gold piece issues. The official mintage figures indicate 425 proof examples were produced in 1879 with most of them being given to Congressmen for review. The story goes that in turn the Congressmen gave the coins to their wives and mistresses as novelty gifts which could explain the large number of ex-jewelry pieces evident today. Whether this story is true is irrelevant as it is now numismatic legend and only adds to the allure the Stella holds for even the most novice of collectors or dealers! Our piece has been tucked away for a number of years in a private holding and is quite spectacular! |

1840-D Gold Half Eagle ***Price Reduction*** |
NGC AU50* | Coins minted at the Dahlongega, Georgia (Cherokee meaning "yellow money") facility, along with its sister mint in Charlotte, NC have long been the holy grail to collectors! The low mintages produced at these mints, the relatively short-lived production (24 years) and the tumultuous history (Civil War) surrounding the demise of these facilities are a combination hard to resist to any respectable numismatist! Only gold coins were and often easily distinguished by their greenish quality derived from the high silver content in the alloy. Priced much lower than the Collector's Universe list of $6000!

1842-C Gold Half Eagle Liberty, Large Date |
NGC AU58 | Two varieties exist for this date/mintmark combination, the large date variety being the more commonly seen on the market. This is all relative as the 1842-C $5 is the scarcest in the Charlotte produced fives and second only to the 1849-C gold Dollar as the rarest Charlotte Mint production. Trends is $10,000 and the Collector's Universe list is $8,500! |

1845-O Gold Half Eagle SS New York ***Price Reduction*** |
NGC MS61* | Built in 1837, the SS New York was a wooden hull, side-wheel steamship and spent most of her career shuttling between New Orleans, Louisiana and Galveston, Texas on a weekly commute. At 5:00 pm on September 05, 1846, the SS New York set sail on her what was to be her last voyage, from Galveston with 53 passengers and crew on board. Unbeknownst to all souls, they were headed straight into the path of a hurricane. By 4:00 am the following morning, the SS New York was lost at sea barely less than a hundred miles from her originating port. Thirty-six of the fifty-three on board managed to survive by holding onto debris until they were rescued two days later by the SS Galveston. Over-shadowed by the Mexican-American War, the fate of the SS New York was hardly reported in 1846 and remained locked in obscurity until 1990 at which time and enterprising oil field worker and an amateur diver began searching for the shipwreck. After years of disappointment and little reward, the SS New York's bouty of early Southern Branch Mint gold and silver coins was finally recovered in 2007. We are offering this found 1845-O Half Eagle at a price much lower than the PCGS/Collectors Universe list of $16,500! Pop 9/8 from a mintage of 41,000 circulation strikes. |
