I'll be selling a few gold coins to refocus my collection. All pieces are outstanding coins which I will struggle to part with.
1872-S $2.5 P55 CAC - $1350 delivered
This piece is choice and original with a good deal of luster visible below rich natural orange-gold and reddish hues on the obverse and reverse. Shown in its previous NGC holder, now crossed and CAC'ed as a P55.
1855-O $5 P45 CAC - $4,000 delivered
The 1855-O is the third rarest half eagle from this mint after the 1847-O and the 1842-O. Fewer than 100 examples are known from an original mintage of 11,000 and when available, the typical 1855-O grades VF-EF with poor eye appeal and limited originality. This choice, fresh 1855-O is the first nice example of this date which I have owned in some time. It is reasonably well detailed and shows nice russet and green-gold color with contrast between the darker fields and the lighter devices. Both sides have some luster and the only mark worthy of description is located below the first T in STATES.
1894-O $5 P55 CAC - $900 delivered
The 1894-O is numismatically significant as the final year of issue for New Orleans With Motto half eagles. It is much scarcer than the 1893-O, and it is not often seen above MS60 to MS61 grades.
This lightly worn example has nice natural orange-gold color over choice, frosty surfaces. There are far fewer marks than usual for the issue.
1868-S $10 P30 CAC - $2,250 delivered (coin ,and only this coin, is with me in Ireland, will be shipped third week of November)
The 1868-S is an overlooked issue which is understandable when one considers how many very rare eagles there are just in the 1862-1873 time frame. Of the 13,500 struck, there are under 100 known. It is choice, original and has lots of dirt around the stars and lettering.
