1817/4 50C --Corroded--ANACS. XF Details.
O-102a, R.7. It is always an exciting event when a newly discovered numismatic rarity is reported. Such was the case when an 1817/4 half dollar was unearthed (literally!) by contractor George Williams while raking fill in upstate New York. This is the eighth known specimen of the rare overdate.
News of the discovery appeared in the October 24, 2005 edition of
Coin World.
Williams said he ordered a load of fill for some foundation work he was doing. He was raking the soil when he heard a "cling." His son Nial, 19, turned the hose on the object and revealed an early date half dollar.
The
Coin World
article goes on to say that when Williams returned home with the coin, his 14-year-old coin-collecting son, Cullinan, looked it up in
A Guide Book of United States Coins
(the "Red Book"). The boy then printed a copy of Sheridan Downey's commentary on the 1817/4 half dollar in Collectors Universe's
CoinFacts.com
web site that revealed more details about the rare overdate. The entire family then became increasingly excited about the find. The coin was certified by ANACS with XF Details and some corrosion. This may well make it the second finest known survivor behind an AU50 example that sold last year for $333,500.
The 1817/4 half dollar was first announced to the numismatic community in the October 1930 issue of
The Numismatist,
under the "Editorial Comments-Numismatic News" section. We quote the commentary entitled
NEW VARIETY OF HALF DOLLAR OF 1817 REPORTED
in its entirety:
"E.T Wallis, of Los Angeles, Cal., writes that he has recently discovered a heretofore unknown variety of the 1817 half dollar, the last figure of the date being cut over a 4. A number of half dollars of 1817 over '13 are known, but this is the first one over '14 reported, Mr. Wallis says. He also says the coin is practically Uncirculated and the overdate can be seen plainly. The reve

1856-O $20 --Scratched--ANACS. AU Details, Net XF40.
Ex: Pittman. Simply put, the 1856-O is a celebrated rarity among Liberty Double Eagles, being also one of the most desirable of all United States gold coins. From a tiny original mintage of 2,250 pieces, perhaps less than two dozen coins survive in all grades. Only the former Amon Carter coin has been certified as Mint State. This example is remarkably unabraded for a heavy gold issue and the green-gold surfaces are tinged with pale orange hues. Traces of prooflike glimmer are still visible even though a light cleaning left both sides a trifle dull. A rather deep scratch angles downward from the tip of the bust into the 8 of the date. Akers reported that the Pittman specimen was purchased from Ed Bell in 1961 for $3,000 so for only the third time in over 43 years is this extremely scarce New Orleans Twenty being offered.
Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection (Akers, 10/97), lot 1134 where it realized $35,750.
From The Cincinnati Collection.
