- FROM THE GLACIER RAMS COLLECTION The 1820 half eagle shows a large mintage of 263,806, but the majority of these were likely dated earlier. Using nine pairs of dies to strike this issue, fewer than 100 are known today. BD-2, which is listed as R-5+ in the Bass Dannreuther reference with an estimated 20-25 known, and that is the second most "common" variety! An old friend that we sold in our September 2018 Regency Auction, lot 589, where we described it as: "One look and you will agree, this coin is SUPER HIGH END. This coin is so strong on quality and looks we just can't put it down! Amazing surfaces are remarkably clean overall. Only using a really strong glass and looking around can you find microscopic ticks or small lines. This is not a hacked up coin. The surfaces are also BOTH semi prooflike (original-not washed out) and are strongly lustrous. Plenty of "original skin" is left with glowing totally original color. Both sides are a heart pounding mix of deep yellow gold and bold orange gold (kind of reddish looking) colors. Miss Liberty and every detail is thickly frosted and have crisp stand out full strikes. The eye appeal is mesmerizing!" Prior to our auction it was in the Goldberg sale of the Del Valle Collection, where it was noted that it was purchased in the 1970s from the great Abner Kriesberg. PCGS 17, NGC 1, CAC 6. This coin sold for $47,000 in our sale two years ago and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $57,500. While there are 15 graded higher at PCGS, we suspect this includes some duplication of submissions. This coin is extremely rare and should be hotly contested when it crosses the block! Good luck. Cert. Number 28271745 PCGS # 8125.00
