In other words, every major collection had to have one. With a mintage 500 and with only about 55 estimated today in all grades of which only 6 are CAC approved in all grades, Paradime Coins is proud to acquire this uber rarity. This particular example, from the BD-14 die variety a R.6+ is one of only three known die marriages for the 1795 Heraldic Eagle issue. After the unique BD-13, BD-14 is the next rarest with BD-15, a R.5+ the most common.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCAC Price is $171,500 for this BD-14 example whilst a non BD-14 is $156,000. With fewer than 20 examples believed to exist for the BD-14, we see a beautiful die crack on the obverse at 6 and an exquisite die-cud on the reverse. 1795 $5 Large Eagle for the better part of the century was known as the rarity, but because they were so rare and seldom offered in the 19th century, 1795 $5 Small Eagle of which is about 10 times more common with approximately 550 known in all grades, have dominated most collectors demand. It is odd to say a 6 figure rarity is undervalued but this coin absolutely is. The historical significance of the 1795 Heraldic Eagle series, combined with this coin's superb condition and rarity, makes it a true highlight for any collection for the first year of the Large Eagle design. Few auction comps exist, but renewed interest have driven up demand. The most relevant and recent auction comp was 1.5 years ago for an AU58 PCGS CAC for $241,875 01\/25 GC.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qm0MCN6JSH0\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/3891\/0535\/files\/Title_2_340x340.png?v=1731422160\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qm0MCN6JSH0\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee this coin’s live video with Paradime Live* here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/cert\/82155653\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePCGS Cert Verification #82155653\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e• PCGS Price Guide - $140,000\u003cbr\u003e• PCGS POP - 3\/20\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• PCGS POP BD-14 - 1\/2\u003cbr\u003e• CAC Price Guide - $171,500\u003cbr\u003e• CAC POP - 1\/2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e• PCGS Coin# - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/coinfacts\/coin\/1795-5-bd-14-large-eagle\/519868\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e519868\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PCGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49323679056184,"sku":"82155653","price":167500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/3891\/0535\/files\/1795_Draped_Bust_Half_Eagle_5_LARGE_EAGLE_AU53_PCGS_CAC.jpg?v=1787839511"},{"product_id":"1876-s-10-au50-pcgs-cac","title":"1876-S $10 AU50 PCGS CAC","description":"\u003carticle data-turn=\"assistant\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-12\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:f29af5a1-0601-4d1e-b3a4-8f66f95a240e-5\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] thread-sm:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] thread-lg:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] thread-lg:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-id=\"4d739517-3e71-4b4a-94ff-eb5ec6ec5ef9\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2185\" data-start=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe 1876-S $10 Liberty Head Eagle is an incredibly challenging issue in the Liberty Head eagle series, boasting a tiny mintage of just 5,000 coins and an estimated 77 survivors in all grades! This figure makes it the second-lowest mintage among San Francisco Mint eagles, and the issue is unknown in Mint State, with most surviving examples grading only VF or EF and many showing impairments. A fully original, problem-free AU example like this represents a rare opportunity for advanced gold specialists — quite possibly a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition. This exceptional coin ranks near the top of the Condition Census and is visually striking, displaying deep, rich honey-gold and reddish-rose coloration with abundant mint luster on both sides. In fact the coin is so nice we thought it deserved a Gold CAC. The surfaces retain a soft, satiny texture with scattered light abrasions typical of honest circulation, while the lettering remains bold and sharply defined. The coin’s overall impression is one of classic 19th-century character, with a nuanced gold palette and surfaces that speak to its time in commerce yet preserve bold, attractive design details. Last AU50 PCGS CAC sale was for $13,200 11\/23 ST, and these quickly rise in value to $75,000 04\/24 ST in AU58 PCGS CAC. Considering no AU53 CAC are approved, and next grade up in AU55 CAC would cost approximately triple we like the value represented in this rarity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/cert\/41785456\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePCGS Cert Verification #41785456\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003ePCGS POP - 13\/20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCAC POP - 3\/6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• PCGS Coin# \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/coinfacts\/coin\/detail\/8676\/50\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e8676\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PCGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51179270177080,"sku":"41785456","price":13000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/3891\/0535\/files\/1876-S_10_AU50_PCGS_CAC.jpg?v=1771788796"},{"product_id":"1874-cc-5-vf20-pcgs-cac","title":"1874-CC $5 VF20 PCGS CAC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1874-CC $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle is widely regarded as one of the most collected Carson City issue of the 1870–1878 half eagle run. Its availability should not be overstated given a modest original mintage of just 21,198 pieces and a modern survival estimate hovering near 200 coins across all grades. Struck in the early decades of the Carson City Mint—when gold circulated heavily in the American West—most examples entered commerce immediately, and few were saved for collectors at the time. The present coin certified by PCGS and approved CAC has smooth, problem-free wear. The circulation softness is evenly distributed across the portrait and eagle, without the rough abrasions or rim disturbances often seen on CC gold of this period. With no auction record in the past 3 years, the last VF20 CAC examples sold were from the Fairmont Collection for $4,200 02\/23 HA and a VF25 NGC CAC for $5,760 02\/22 HA. Today with a lack of CC $5 in mid grade this coin has a published CAC Price Guide value of $5,250, it falls squarely in the sweet spot for collectors seeking an attractive, properly vetted mid-grade example without crossing into higher, far scarcer price tiers. This example represents an outstanding candidate for collectors assembling a Carson City type set, a CC date run, or those seeking a historically significant 19th-century gold piece tied directly to the legacy of the American frontier mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/cert\/53632406\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePCGS Cert Verification #53632406\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• PCGS Price Guide - $5,250\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• PCGS POP - 9\/125\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• CAC Price Guide - $5,250\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• CAC POP - 2\/35\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e• PCGS Coin# \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/coinfacts\/coin\/detail\/8334\/20\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e8334\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PCGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51617196769592,"sku":"53632406","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/3891\/0535\/files\/1874-CC_5_VF20_PCGS_CAC_HOLDER.jpg?v=1771764551"},{"product_id":"1878-10-ms63-pcgs-cac","title":"1878 $10 MS63 PCGS CAC","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe 1878 Liberty Head $10 eagle was minted during a period of strong gold circulation in post–Civil War America, when gold coins were heavily used in commerce and international trade. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe 1878 $10 was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a mintage of 73,780 pieces and an estimated surviving population of roughly 700 coins.

Struck in 1824—the pivotal election year that elevated John Quincy Adams to the presidency following one of the most contested elections in American history—this coin was produced during a formative period for the young United States, when gold coinage remained a practical medium for banking, international trade, and larger domestic transactions rather than everyday circulation. Its famous 1824\/1 overdate was created when the Philadelphia Mint repurposed an unused 1821 obverse die. Visually, both sides offer rich yellow-gold surfaces with warm orange-gold accents and strong satiny luster, much of it enlivened by extensive die-polishing lines that remain visible across the fields. The surfaces remain notably wholesome for an MS62 early gold issue which blend naturally into the luminous texture. With an original mintage of just 2,600 pieces—the second-lowest of the type after the famed 1826\/'6'—this issue has long held an important place in advanced early gold cabinets, yet true Mint State examples remain decidedly rare. The present coin’s status as the only graded Pop 1 PCGS MS62 example with just six finer, combined with the absence of recent auction appearances in this exact grade and a PCGS Price Guide value of $80,000, positions it as an exceptional opportunity for the specialist in early U.S. gold, overdates, and historically rich presidential-era coinage. Bear in mind half a grade up in MS62+ and this coin commands a PCGS Price Guide of $135,000. With an exceptionally low mintage and an estimated survival of only 52 examples, this issue ranks among the rarest and most desirable within the series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003ePedigree:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eex Garrett Collection, lot 744. 11\/1979, Bowers \u0026amp; Ruddy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eex believed to have been obtained from T.

CAC-approved Mint State examples are exceptionally difficult to locate, with only three certified at the MS62 level and just five finer by CAC. This impressive example is bathed in rich original lemon-gold color with vibrant satin luster that flows uninterrupted across both the obverse and reverse, producing a bright, fresh appearance. The fields exhibit attractive mint frost and are remarkably clean for the grade, with only the expected light contact marks that do little to detract from the outstanding overall eye appeal. Long recognized as one of the premier rarities of the series in Mint State, the 1913-S was historically regarded as the single rarest Indian Eagle in Gem and finer grades, making attractive, original examples like this especially sought after by advanced collectors and Registry Set participants. This exact PCGS certification last realized $14,400 at Heritage Auctions in November 2021 with no CAC sale since then and the numbers need to be updated as a result. This coin is also housed in an older holder Gen 4.0 from 1998-2002. Even non-CAC MS63 PCGS last sold for $20,740 06\/26 SB, whilst NGC MS63 for $16,800 07\/22 HA. There are NO MS63 CAC, so the next available CAC would have to be MS64 and would cost north of $50,000.

Unlike the heavily bagmarked appearance so often seen on this issue, this coin displays remarkably clean, original surfaces with only light friction and minor contact marks separating it from Mint State preservation. The outstanding originality and superior visual appeal have been further recognized by the coveted CAC Gold Sticker, reserved for coins that are undergraded or exceptional for their assigned grade, while the desirable Old Green Holder adds another level of collector appeal, reflecting the conservative grading standards of an earlier era at PCGS.

With a modest mintage of just 16,980 pieces and an estimated 92 survivors known today, it is a true rarity in any grade, while CAC-approved examples are especially elusive as most reside in tightly held advanced collections. It is This wholesome VG8 PCGS CAC example displays attractive honey-gold surfaces with pleasing originality, even wear, and smooth fields that are notably cleaner than expected for the grade. The coin surprisingly pops in hand. The remaining design elements are well defined, and the overall quality and eye appeal are superior, making this an exceptionally attractive circulated representative of this coveted Carson City issue. Produced during the height of the Comstock Lode era, Carson City gold continues to enjoy growing demand among collectors and investors alike.

Struck from a tiny mintage of just 7,416 pieces, with an estimated 70 survivors in all grades, the issue ranks as the second-rarest Carson City half eagle, after 1870-CC $5, and is a formidable acquisition regardless of grade. Both sides display attractive, original honey-gold to warm orange-gold coloration with smooth, problem-free surfaces that have earned coveted CAC approval. Honest circulation has produced even wear across Liberty's portrait and the eagle while preserving bold peripheral legends, a full date, mintmark, and strong overall definition for the assigned grade. The fields retain an appealing, natural texture free from distracting impairments, giving the coin superior eye appeal compared with many survivors of this heavily circulated issue. Highly sought after by specialists in Carson City gold, Liberty Head half eagles, and advanced collectors of Western frontier coinage, the 1873-CC is an issue that is seldom encountered in any collectible grade.

The 1890-CC $10 Liberty Head Eagle is a scarce Carson City gold issue struck during the first year that eagle production resumed at the Carson City Mint following a five-year hiatus. With a modest mintage of just 17,500 pieces and an estimated 600 survivors, the date has long been prized by collectors of Carson City gold. This charming low-ball example displays attractive medium orange and warm rose-gold coloration over smooth, original surfaces that reflect its long circulation while remaining free of significant distractions. Honest wear has softened the finer details, yet the major design elements remain bold enough to provide pleasing eye appeal and unmistakable Carson City character. With no prior auction records or sales history, this coin represents an elusive opportunity considering any CAC 1890-CC $10 would cost atleast $4,000 today. This would be perfect for collectors pursuing an advanced Low Ball Registry Set or a specialized Carson City gold collection. Its combination of rarity, originality, and historical significance makes it a highly desirable survivor of one of the most collectible branch mint gold issues of the Liberty Head Eagle series.

This Choice XF45 PCGS CAC specimen displays attractive, naturally preserved honey-gold and golden-apricot surfaces, with deeper accents outlining portions of Liberty’s portrait and the reverse devices.

There is no recorded CAC-approved F15 auction comparable, making this an especially noteworthy opportunity for the advanced CC-Mint or Double Eagle collector. The PCGS Price Guide stands at $9,000 and CAC at $9,500 with a Pop of 1 and is the cheapest 1878-CC $20 one can acquire with the typical starting point for a non-CAC at $12,000 for this issue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePedigree:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Virginia Range Collection of Carson City\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/cert\/54901239\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePCGS Cert Verification #54901239\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PCGS Price Guide -$9,000\u003cbr\u003e• PCGS POP - 4\/346\u003cbr\u003e• CAC Price Guide - $9,500\u003cbr\u003e• CAC POP - 1\/51\u003cbr\u003e• PCGS Coin#  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/coinfacts\/coin\/detail\/8986\/15\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e8986\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PCGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52800495386936,"sku":"54901239","price":10500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/3891\/0535\/files\/1878-CC_Liberty_Head_Double_Eagle_20_F15_PCGS_CAC_Holder.png?v=1787804124"},{"product_id":"1821-5-ms63-pcgs-cac-ex-chapman-bass","title":"1821 $5 MS63 PCGS CAC EX CHAPMAN\/ BASS","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSecond Finest of the Major Rarity. PCGS Price Guide $425,000. 16 Estimated in all grades. CAC Pop 1 and 1 finer. The 1821 half eagle is one of the great rarities of the Capped Head series. John Dannreuther estimates that approximately 12 to 15 examples of BD-1 survive, including two proofs, one of which resides permanently in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution. The substantially rarer BD-2 is believed to exist in a mere two or three examples. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRich yellow-gold and green-gold color blankets both sides.

Early United States gold coins contained more gold than their stated face value relative to prevailing international exchange rates, encouraging widespread bullion speculation and destruction. By the 1830s, vast quantities of earlier half eagles had been melted, leaving many dates represented by only a handful of survivors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"description\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoster of 1821 BD-1 Half Eagles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"description\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMS66+ PCGS CAC.\u003c\/b\u003e Abe Kosoff; Texas collector (possibly Jeff Browning, John Murrell, or Robert Schermerhorn); Roy E.
