RYK's Dirty DOG of the Day Deal

Well, I have decided to thin the collection (again), selling duplicates and misfits. I will save the dreck and crap for other venues, but I thought I would offer some of the nicer items here, first. From now until Thanksgiving, I will add one coin each day. Whatever is not sold here by Thanksgiving will go to a dealer or Heritage or maybe even back to the safety deposit box. There will be PCGS coins, OGHs, lots of CAC stickers (sorry, green and gold stickers only, no platinum 
), an Eliasberg coin, southern gold, and, of course, lots of dirt.
Without further ado, here is today's installment. I'll quote Doug Winter: " The 1856-D is one of the rarest – and certainly the most underrated – Dahlonega half eagles." I'll quote a price: $SOLD, and I'll let you look at the photo.
1856-D $5 PCGS/OGH/CAC XF-45
Terms:
Reasonable offers considered. Checks preferred. I will pay for shipping. You will pay for PayPal if you would prefer to use it. 7 days money back (real money, not store credit) if you are not satisfied, but you pick up return postage. All payments should be received within seven days, unless otherwise agreed, or the deal may be considered void. In most cases, coins will be shipped on Thursday or Saturday. I have extensive references on the forum, in the coin biz, and with the auction houses. I have had 100's of transactions on the forum with at least 50 forum members and no problems or issues.

He probably sold it at face value or at least bullion

The coin was sent to the CAC after the images were taken. Yes, it's a green sticker, not gold or platinum.
It has the body of a strong AU coin, with excellent color, but some marks on the face limit the grade. Here's what Doug Winter says about the issue: "The 1844-O is one of three New Orleans eagles from the 1840s with a mintage of over 100,000. It is among the more common issues from this decade but it is a very rare coin in higher grades." Thanks a lot, Doug.
This coin is not for someone who will dissect each mark and evaluate with a 30x lens scope. It is for someone who appreciates extreme originality and the flaws and warts that sometimes accompany it. $SOLD (or will trade for your unopened box of ...

Where is today's offering???
<< <i>(Can anyone guess the significance of the #21 to me?) >>
Is it this?
Keeper of the VAM Catalog • Professional Coin Imaging • Prime Number Set • World Coins in Early America • British Trade Dollars • Variety Attribution
so how about 1818 for her..
*The coin was submitted to the CAC after this image was taken.
<< <i>Today's installment will be from the "Norseman88 Six", a group of 6 No Motto OGH eagles purchased in a special transaction, assisted by forum member and Vikings fan, Norseman88. It is an 1844-O $10 PCGS/OGH/CAC XF-40:

I've known Norseman for years, his collection got thinned out and he had to sell over 13,000 ounces of silver as he got divorced in march but he still has some nice stuff.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
<< <i>Why must we wait...only one coin per day? Bring it on! >>
It's my gimmick.
(Thread was not bumped by my reply. It was already on top.
<< <i>Day 7 is coming to an end, wheres the goods
Okay, it's late, and today's installment will be a bit unusual.
Four circulated quarter eagles, one from the 1840's, one for the 50's, one from the 60's, and one from the 70's.
1846-O PCGS VF-30 (never submitted to CAC)
1851 PCGS AU-50/CAC
1861 PCGS AU-50/CAC New Reverse
1872-S PCGS VF-20/CAC
All are solid or above average for the grade. 4 coins, one price, HOLD, delivered. Here are the photos of the two best coins. The others were from recent Heritage auctions.
If no one scoops those up in the next day or so, I may have to spend more and get them. That's a super price for the 4 of them!

Ranked #1 (don't settle for #2 or #3 or...)
I paid $690. Offered here for $HOLD.
At any rate, today's offering is the second dirtiest 1890-CC $20 I have ever seen. The dirtiest is one grade lower, was more expensive, and resides in my collection. I purchased the coin in an NGC XF-45 holder, and it now resides in a PCGS/CAC XF-45 holder, for $HOLD, delivered.

You have some nice extras. I liked day one the best but I am curious as to which one is the "Eliasberg coin"?
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Does this man chew on dirty gold coins for a living? Check out that smile!

Who bought the $2.50 gold lot that you had? I'd like to talk to them concerning two of the coins!!!
Obviously, I cannot divulge this information, but I will PM the buyer your request.

We never got to that one...but I plan to offer it in the next group.

Here's a preview for the next coin for sale:
This 1887-S $10 in NGC/CAC AU-58 is attractive for the grade. While a common coin, the pedigree is uncommon, and there are not very many Eliasberg US gold coins that can be obtained for $SOLD.

The Eliasberg gold coin is still available.
Of a mintage of 72,000, 175 are said to exist (per CoinFacts).
<< <i>The next item is a coin that I have some hesitation to sell, not because it fits my collection as it really does not, but because I think it is a very cool coin for what it is. The 1856-S $2.50 is for most of us the first collectible QE from the San Francisco mint (unless you have between a quarter and a half mill at your disposal for the 1854-S). This coin was purchased from Mark Feld, who acquired from a relation on the Mehl side of the family. (Other than an invoice and the word of Mark, I have no further proof, and there is no "Mehl" on the slab.) The coin itself is naturally lustrous and is housed in a "fatty" NGC holder with a green CAC sticker. It has the initial look of an uncirculated coin with perhaps a bit of wear and friction in the fields. It is more lustrous than the photo suggests. It's not your typical NGC AU-58. There are only 5 CAC'ed coins in 58 with one CAC coin higher. Offering price is $1856, delivered.

RYK - is it a coincidence that the price is the same as the date? This is better than a CRO Earlybird!

can you leave the original asking price for future reference even after it is sold?
(Bochiman is going to hate this photo...)

First thing I did was subscribe to this thread so I knew immediately when a new post/coin for sale was posted. I got one update on my iphone as I walking into the Baltimore convention!
