APRIL 22nd, 2026 - GOLD PROOF SETS AND GEM INDIAN GOLD
Hello All,
I hope all is well. The beat goes on as the song goes and this week, chicken in the car, the car can't go, that's the way we spell Chicago where my partners will be scouring the countryside for deals and famous Chicago kielbasa sandwiches. I am unable to go this year but will be there for the next one. The collectors and investors end of the market has been interesting and quite business. Not to sound like a broken record but it appears that a lot more people have thought through where they want to go with numismatics and this has helped create one of the best markets in my lifetime and since I've been in the coin arena ...whew am I getting old, since the late 70's, I've seen the ups and downs, and changes in this business/ I am happy to report to you that this is one of the best if not the best most consistent market I've seen in that span of time. For more details and thoughts on the subject please send me an email or give a call.
This weeks hand picked offerings begin with an early quarter eagle from New Orleans of 1842-O which is quite scarce, to a lovely choice uncirculated 1861 quarter eagle followed by a pair of proof gold rarities the first being an 1889 Proof 63 Cameo quarter eagle, mintage of only 48 this year followed by a near match in an 1880 $5 half eagle in Proof 62 Cameo with a total "mintage" of only 36 proof gold half eagles struck that year, and just a thought please, one of the most fun and solid assets in numismatics that you can own is a gold proof set. This has been a specialty of mine going back decades and at this moment I may be able to assemble most of the other proofs to match these 2, or at least get close enough where we won't have to wait long before the gold proof set would be complete. Just a thought to investors, those of us who don't have floor to ceiling safes and who want to own something substantive that when offered in the future will always hear the response, "wow neat". Next on the list is a very scarce 1899-S half eagle in MS-65 that is just a breath away from 66 and has the eye appeal of a 66+. Next is that always desirable 1909-O Indian gold in uncirculated condition followed by another outstanding rarity in the Indian gold series, 1911-D $5 in MS-63 and the pièce de résistance, an outstanding 1915 $10 Indian Eagle in PCGS MS-66!
